Silvers Alpha (The Silver Series)

by Samantha Bates

  Ch apter 19

  She had finally decided on a black cat suit, with her red knee high boots; she could at least conceal her knives in the boots. She had a bracelet that opened up to make a garrotte, she had also pinned her hair so that she could wear her razor sharp chop sticks, cleverly made they hid some points strong enough to stake a vamp, and cause serious blood loss to anyone else. The stars on her belt were big, shiny and looked extremely sophisticated but each came off, and if aimed right could cause near decapitation on impact, they also stopped someone from shifting if they were embedded in the target.

  Looking in a mirror, she hoped she looked the part. Apparently word out was that Ben's new piece was a bitch looking for some fun, while stringing him along. She was not sure she liked the picture that was being painted about her, but what the hell it was done and she would have to deal with that soon.

  As she came downstairs, Ben and Bastian were arguing over something different this time. Both were bent looking at something on the kitchen table, neither looking up as she descended. "Lucky which would you prefer, the hair slide or the necklace?" Bastian was smiling as he turned to look at her.

  "The necklace, why?" With that Ben looked up, the blood rushed from his face. "No fucking way, you are not going out dressed like that; I've changed my mind this is not happening. You need to…. need to get changed, put your combats back on or something."

  Darius decided to step in. "What the dumbass meant to say was, you look amazing, I am really worried about you and don't want anything bad to happen to you. So I am going to act like an over protective dick, and piss you off before sending you into a club full of deviants. That way, you may do something stupid; just to piss me off back." Lucky may have smiled, unfortunately Ben did not.

  "That was not what I meant at all and yes you do look hot and I don't want anything to happen to you. Shit I hate this feeling, the lack of control, the lack of credible information. I hate everything about this." Looking around he felt so unsure of himself, Ben found his dad. "Why didn't you tell me that it was like this, I feel helpless?"

  Leyland came over to clap him on the back. "You wouldn't have understood before son, now you do. Sometimes you have to let things go, and it does get easier in a hundred years or so."

  They decided to leave the necklace when Darius and Theo said that the door staff would be able to detect the camera inside it, apparently they were highly suspicious with new people. Theo had discreetly warned her that the security tended to be over zealous with the search; however sensibly he did this away from Ben's ears.

  Ben and Bastian left first, though not before Ben took Lucky to one side and kissed the life out of her. She actually thought she might orgasm just from a kiss, and it took her another twenty minutes to settle after that, especially knowing he had bitten her the night before, leaving his mark on her neck for all to see.

  They had decided that Bastian and Ben would already be outside of the club in a shop opposite. Ben would know what was happening through his telepathic link with Theo, Darius would arrive after them. Bastian had also sent a couple of vampires from the team in to Dreams to boost their protection. If she hadn't already felt watched, she did now.

  The club and its atmosphere were dark, she had been thoroughly searched and if Theo hadn't been with her, she was pretty sure they would have been even more thorough. The security staff had found a strategically placed knife that was poorly hidden to distract them from focusing on other places, the places where her real weapons were hidden. The rumours had worked; people were staring at Lucky with some even stopping Theo to confirm who she was, he just pushed past them ignoring the questions. He certainly played mean and moody well.

  The music was pumping some sort of rock song; a few people were on the black glittering dance floor gyrating to the beat. People were in various states of inebriation with some clearly wasted; others were swaying while some were wary and curious of the Others in the room. The walls were painted a deep red; the carpeting had a red and black pattern running through it. The accessories had none of the elegance of Silvers; the chandeliers were over large and gaudy with the fake crystal look. The seating was bland and did not give the perception of comfort, when Lucky went to move a stool she found that they had been screwed down which told her a lot about the establishment, as did the half-naked staff. The females were wearing boob tubes and short black skirts, some of the men were wearing vests with the occasional one forgetting the need to wear any top at all, and their trousers were so tight that there was nothing to hide.

  She asked for a bottle of unopened water, she didn't want anything that could have been tampered with. Theo proceeded to look menacing while she made her presence known on the dance floor by inviting some hapless humans to dance, giving her the chance to look at the place.

  Lucky could see the black and red interior was apt, there were vampires openly feeding from humans, she saw warlocks using spells to get others to do their bidding. Already she saw a couple of fights break out, which resulted in even more violence from the security staff as they kicked humans out.

  The black and red floor came in useful; it allowed them to hide the blood stains. The dance floor was in the centre of the stage, with two bars at the edge on either side. Lots of the vampires seemed to feel the need to dress the part, in long sleeved white shirts, leather pants and elongated fangs.

  Every time the doors opened on the left, she saw some sort of card game. On the right, she saw a corridor with other doors leading from it. Various people were coming in and out, in various states of undress so if Lucky were to guess she would say they were private rooms. The whole place was a cesspit, Ben's description was apt, no wonder it had a terrible reputation. She saw a couple of human girls come out from the right, and watched as they drifted around the club, she headed over to them. They looked horrendous, their eyes were sunken, with visible bruises on their wrists they looked as though they had been chained, and although some women had clearly taken some sort of substance others just looked haggard.

  She saw Theo watching the girls seemingly interested in what was on show, however she knew that he was passing the information along to Ben. One of the girls held out a hand to a vampire, who by his facial expressions seemed rather nasty, with trepidation Lucky watched as he followed her through a door to the right.

  There was no way she could ignore it, but the doors were blocked by security, she needed to find a way through there. She discreetly started heading in that direction, when Theo blocked her way.

  "Look at the vamp from your team." As she did, she saw the other girl taking her colleague into the same corridor.

  "Let him check it out, this is not your objective." Theo's voice brooked no argument, fortunately he was right.

  She could feel people looking at them; she needed to show her dominance. Grabbing his drink she threw it in his face. Whispering her thanks to him, she started berating him knowing that people were watching to see how strong she was.

  "Don't talk to me like that, you are but a chauffeur!" She flounced off towards the toilets, giving everyone a chance to talk about the bitch even more. After checking her face, and praying that Theo was not too angry at her, she checked her weapons making sure everything was intact before she headed out to the dance floor again.

  A tall, thin, man was waiting outside of the toilets. Dressed in a blood red suit, with long black hair held back with a thin band, he walked towards her using a cane. The use of the cane gave off an aura of weakness, but she wasn’t fooled, he was actually projecting some serious predatory feelings. He knew who she was; he wanted to hurt Ben and thought she could be a means to an end.

  "Well, I see that rumours are indeed correct. I can see the Silver Alpha has marked you as his, yet he allowed you to venture where he would not dare go."

  His voice oozed what he thought was charm, but to her it induced feelings of nausea making her body shiver in revulsion. His eyes were gliding over her, hunger flaring before he managed to reign in his
emotions. If he had been fortunate enough to get x-ray vision in his repertoire of vampire bonuses, she was in no doubt that he would have utilised this skill, so intense was his look towards her.

  "No one 'allows' me to do anything. If he wants me, he has to accept my other interests and desires and he can't be all of them." She injected a little mockery and dominance into her voice. Already she could feel his interest in her soar as he looked at a woman who could take down his business competitor.

  He smiled a toothy grin with a hint of fang, and she instinctively knew that this was Curico. Considering he was Italian by birth, he was unusually pale even for a vampire. Instead of lightening the mood, his smile made him look even more like a leering pervert. "Do you like my little place?"

  "I wouldn't call it little, it does lack a certain class however there are some appealing features that may work to my tastes." Ugh this man was making her feel icky, she wanted to get away from him yet knew she needed to stay; to leave now would portray weakness.

  "You should be careful you know. Your Alpha is not so popular here and with only one wolf to protect you, some people might see you as easy pickings."

  "Well some people would be wrong and it wouldn't take long for them to realise their mistake." This guy was just creepy, and had the nerve to threaten her, for the implication was a threat.

  "That is good news; I would not want the responsibility of something happening to someone so precious to Silvers Alpha."

  Lucky nodded, held her head up and walked past him dismissing him as not important. Walking through the club, she grabbed Mitch who she did not expect to see, he also seemed to be known here well she assumed he was judging by the lusty expressions focused on Mitch. She dragged him onto the dance floor needed to get some space between her and Curico.

  "Ben was going ape shit out there when you were with El Creepo, so here I am the added protection."

  As they danced she kept an eye on Curico, who was now talking to some vampire woman near the bar. The woman looked over to Lucky and smiled lifting her drink.

  "Be ready Mitch, I think things are going to go to hell pretty quickly." The room was crowded; the overall temperature had been raised a little too much however it made the humans hot and sweaty necessitating them to wear fewer clothes. The heat and alcohol had also resulted in them writhing against each other to the beat of the music, the floor vibrating in time with the sound. People from 'Other' Species observed Lucky with curiosity; however the humans barely acknowledged her.

  Lucky could see Theo talking to a leprechaun while Darius was at the other end of the bar. She saw Curico's female friend talking rather animatedly with two other females, who then made their way towards her with a swagger that was supposed to be sexy and intimidating. Leaning towards Theo, she grabbed his attention.

  "They are mine." Her statement brooked no argument; Theo looked towards the women coming over.

  "We will see. As long as you come out unharmed you can have them." Lucky knew that Mitch and Darius would not get involved, not unless a disaster was about to hit, but Theo didn't know that she could handle herself.

  Altering her stance in preparation for being surrounded she waited, she felt them circle her before they immediately took the offensive. One grabbed her hair from behind as another came at her from the front.

  Putting her hand up to her chopsticks, she pulled one out as the woman in front punched her in the face. Lucky stabbed out with the chopstick, straight into the woman's throat aiming for an artery, giving Lucky a chance to step back and kick the knee of the bitch behind her, before she followed through with her elbow.

  She saw the other woman coming towards her with a broken bottle; pulling off a star Lucky flung it at her, she couldn’t let the bottle cut her, praying for a good shot she nearly clapped her hands in joy when it scored the woman in the eye. She turned again, staking the one behind her. The first woman was yet again coming at her, even while her hands were round the neck injury that was haemorrhaging blood (give the girl points for tenacity).

  Lucky bent and flung a knife from her boot, impaling it straight into the woman's heart putting her out of the misery of bleeding out from a neck wound. The one with the star in her eye unsurprisingly backed off pretty quickly; this time Lucky took the offensive grabbing her hair spinning her round, followed by a round house kick to her upper torso, before hitting her in the face so hard that she fell onto the people dancing.

  Looking around Theo had followed her path; ripping out the hearts of the females he destroyed them with a lighter. Lucky stood up, shook herself down and started heading out knowing that Theo was behind her. Lucky was pleased to leave this place, Ben was right it needed closing down. Unfortunately as they neared the exit Curico stepped in front of her, his leering grin making her cringe inside.

  "I see that you have made your point, such a shame that the vamps continue to cause problems. Had I realised what they meant to do, I would have had them ejected. Please apologise to your Alpha, or maybe I should pay him a personal visit."

  Lucky knew exactly what he was inferring, it was one thing to piss her off but to make a threat to Ben was too much, and he knew it. He wanted to see her reaction, she could feel his curiosity; as he held his hand out to her a show of apology she could hear Theo growl as she stepped into Curico. Sliding her bracelet off, she snapped it open and stepped into him hard. Pushing him against the wall her hands were either side of Curicos neck, the garrotte was now taut against his throat ready to slice through the skin and bone.

  "You slimy piece of shit, you stay out of my business and I will yours. It would only take a little flick and you would be holding your neck together, don't ever underestimate me and mine."

  They rendezvoused back at the gym where Ben went ballistic when he saw the bruise on her face. On the plus side he insisted that she went home and rest, a home where everyone else had already gone to bed leaving them alone. He then put an ice pack on her eye while he made absolutely sure that she had no other external or internal injuries. The man managed to melt the ice pack damn quick along with her insides.

  Chapter 20

  Pacing the room, she fumed that Lucky thought she was safe surrounded by her pack, well she had no idea what was coming for her. She was furious and getting bored of playing this game, why wouldn't the bitch just keep what she had and stop taking more, she was no longer playing anymore; it was time to remove Lucky out of the equation permanently. She had seen her in Dreams flaunting herself, Dreams was her domain but it seemed that the bitch wanted that too.

  She heard the whimpers coming from next door, the sound of the newest recruit learning a lesson from Alex, one she wouldn't forget. As she opened the door and saw the girl bent over with Alex thrusting into her while she was crying out with each stroke. The pained look on her expression compared to the joyful look on Alex's face heightened her excitement.

  She knew when Alex sensed her presence, watching as he thrust harder and harder, the woman screamed louder and louder, with sound reminding her of a harpy's scream. She walked to stand behind him, pulling his head she thrust her tongue into his mouth and cupped his sac hard causing him to cry out but not in pain, no her Alex enjoyed the pain.

  He had been her first find many years ago; she had him changed into a vampire so that he could remain hers rather than age. It had taken a long time to train him to her standards there was no point in losing him to age. He was not submissive to anyone but her, she moved around to his side standing in a way that allowed her to watch as she pleasured herself over her clothing, knowing that Alex would now ignore his plaything.

  "When you have finished in here meet me in my room." She saw his eyes light up, "maybe if you are really bad I will let you take me while you tell me about everyone that you have punished today." He renewed his thrusting even harder pushing to finish while increasing the pain he inflicted.

  She had decided to let Alex help her deal with the bitch; let's see if Lucky would grow to like Alex's version of pleasure
. She just had to find a way to get her here, Curico would inform her when the bitch returned to Dreams he knew what would happen if he didn't. The frustration she felt increased every time her plans failed, the two fools in the alley were supposed to hurt Lucky, instead she and that vampire she worked with killed them. If she knew the form Lucky took as looked like a cop life would be easier, a work place accident would have been more realistic, unfortunately no-one knew what she as a cop so she had to engineer potential incidents and hope one of them succeeded.

  Chapter 21

  Lucky woke to something warm and hard and welcoming poking her, stretching out she manoeuvred Ben between her legs. "Now this is what I call a nice wake up call."

  Ben snuggled closer to her, his arms giving her that sense of security and warmth, all things she needed right now. "It's not going to be nice; it's going to be amazing. Baby I am going to make you scream and just when you think you can't go any further, I am going to push harder."

  "Promises but I think you are all mouth." Stretching her arms over her head, sitting up in the process Ben decided to give her an example.

  He flipped her to her back coming up over her; he had this amazing grin on his face, one that just promised naughtiness. "I am about to be all mouth baby." Smiling he slid down the bed.

  Ben kept his promise he did make her sweat and scream, but just as she screamed he caught her in a kiss and he felt the vibrations of her pleasure down to his toes. This time she marked him back and succeeded in taking him to the edge so that when he finally emptied himself inside of her, he felt like he had lost himself. Still laid on the bed trying to breathe while she showered, he marvelled at how different his life was. In such a short space of time, he was living and breathing Lucky and he liked it.

  Her presence had made his life full; even in this room her belongings looked good, the fit in all the right places. Her jewellery sat on his dressing table, her clothes now hung in the wardrobe, and her body was made for this bed.
