The Alpha's Toy by Sam Crescent Read Free Book Online

woman know he wanted silence?
    “ Go to sleep,” he said,
standing up.
    She didn’t argue or make any move to
follow him. Leaving the room, he went to his bathroom, slamming the
door closed behind him.
    Staring at his reflection Zeke wondered
why he couldn’t see a change at who was looking at him. Wrapping a
towel around his waist, he left the bathroom by the other door
leading out into the hallway. His pack knew not to disturb him in
his own space. Going down to the second floor he knocked on Max’s
door. He heard Jane moan and Max apologize. Zeke waited as Max
grabbed a robe from the chair and seconds later opened the
door.
    “ Alpha, how can I help
you?”
    Max bowed his head, and Zeke wondered why
the formality.
    “ What are you doing?” Zeke
never demanded submission from his pack. He commanded respect as he
gave it as much as received it.
    “ Your eyes, Zeke. They’re
burning.” Max opened the door. Zeke saw Jane had the blanket up to
her chin as she stared at him.
    Glancing in the mirror Zeke saw the eyes
of his wolf glaring back at him. “Shit.” Rubbing a hand down his
face, Zeke paced his friend’s room until he felt in control once
again.
    “ Alpha?” Max
asked.
    Opening his eyes he stared at his
friend. “Find everything that you can about Mary. I want to know
everything. In the morning go back to the pack’s house and retrieve
her things. I’ll give you some clothing to scent her.”
    “ Yes, Alpha,” Max
said.
    Zeke needed to know why he was feeling
this way. She was different, and he recalled her scent before. No,
he’d been too late, and he couldn’t think about the other
woman.
    They took her.
    “ Find out everything. I want to
know where she lived. I want her whole fucking past.” Storming out
of the room, he went back to his bathroom. Closing the door he
turned the shower on and stood underneath. The pack he killed had
been responsible for the disappearance of his sister. His father
had asked for his help seeing as he lived close to the other pack.
Zeke had known Roger and Dani for some time. They’d shared a few
meals together as a sign of friendship. In all that time he’d never
thought it was possible for them to be in the market for capturing
females and selling them to the highest bidder. His sister was
still missing. She’d been running with his father’s pack when she
went missing. The hunt had started the moment they realized she’d
gone missing. The problem they faced was telling the local police
force. They couldn’t tell them a wolf had gone missing, so they had
handled her disappearance personally. Not that it had led to
anything other than Roger and Dani’s pack seeming to be the
culprit.
    Roger and Dani hadn’t even
mentioned a half breed in their pack. Pressing his palm to the
tiled wall, Zeke let the warm water cascade down his skin. Mary’s
pack had despised her. None of them cared about her at all. In the
few meals he’d shared with Roger and Dani, Zeke had never sensed an
evil streak or the true scent that clung to them this night. They had
to have used something that masked the horrid scent.
    It still amazed him how dangerous the
other couple was, and yet they let the half breed live. Where had
they found her?
    Several years ago Zeke had been sitting
behind his desk when he scented the most incredible smell outside.
Leaving his office, he’d gone searching to find the woman
responsible for leaving the scent. In the chaos of the office with
so many other smells, he’d lost her. Walking the dark alleys for
protection, he’d changed into that of a wolf and gone hunting.
While he’d been taking a breather, her scent had drifted toward
him.
    He remembered biting the woman, but for
the life of him he couldn’t remember what she looked like and he’d
never been able to locate her after that night.
    Jerking his head, Zeke turned off the
water, grabbed a towel and headed into the bedroom. Mary was asleep
on the bed. He saw the track marks of her tears as
