Gabriella - Alpha Marked, Book II Read Online Free Page B

words came from a
half-shifted wolf with dark hair. His green eyes sparkled with
rage, those orbs the only hint as to the man’s identity. His mouth
had formed to a wolfen maw, and deep silver fur covered each inch
of his exposed body.
    “Mine!” Another beast stood beside the first
intruder, just as shifted and deadly looking as the other, with
dark hazel eyes and amber blanketing him.
    Great, it was Tweedle-Find-Some-Other-Woman
and Captain-Dick-Head. Obviously they’d escaped the Ruling
Alphas.
    The two man-beasts came toward her, lumbering
steps bringing them closer with every passing heartbeat. She
released her breasts, holding her hands out in an effort to halt
their approach. Tension, rage, and fury battered at her, the
wolves’ anger palpable in the room, nearly choking her with its
power.
    “Nu-uh, furballs. No interrupting the
BBGGRFEFG.” At their confused looks, their bushy eyebrows lowering
and wolf lips dropping into a frown, she elaborated. “It’s the
‘Butt Bounce of Gabby Getting Rejected in Front of the Entire
Fucking Gathering ’. You know, because the two of you rejected me. In front of the entire fucking
gathering .” Low growls were their only response, but it was the
third throaty sound behind her that drew her attention back to
Hello Sexy. “Uh…”
    “Gabriella, tell the wolf to back off before
we do it for him.” Amber guy bared his teeth, snarling in
warning.
    Lovely.
    “Mine!” The silver wolf took a step forward,
flexing his claw-tipped hands.
    She reached behind her and patted the guard.
She may nearly hate (okay, dislike a lot) her mates, but she wasn’t
willing to risk another’s life. She knew how protective and
possessive wolves could be. As evidenced by the fact that Garron
and Keller had killed an Alpha Pair the previous night, when two
idiots threatened both their position and mating to Scarlet.
    “I’m good, Hello Sexy.” Dear God she did not
just say that. Snarls came from her mates. Okay, she did. “I’ll
take care of them. Why don’t you run and hide.” She kept her gaze
focused on the Captain and Lieutenant, noting the shift of muscle
and bone beneath their skin. “For a while. Years even.”
    The guard eased from behind her and edged
toward a nearby hallway. All the while, her mates’ gazes remained
transfixed on him. The moment he stepped out of sight, the
hostility in the space eased, lowering from Kill Everything to Maim
Everyone.
    The rapid, heavy thump of booted feet
colliding with the marble floors announced newcomers, and Garron
and Keller slid into the room directly behind the Captain and
Lieutenant. (How fucked was it that she still didn’t know
their names?)
    Breathing heavy, Keller bent and propped his
hands on his thighs, fighting for air. “They…” He took a deep
breath. “They got away.”
    Scarlet’s voice broke into the ensuing
silence. “Thank you Captain Obvious.” She huffed. “Now gather them
up and send them on their way again now that you’ve caught up with
them.”
    “Scarlet…” Garron had just as much trouble
breathing as Keller. “There are things going on that you don’t
understand. There’s some history and magic here that are beyond
your compreh—”
    “Comprehension?” Scarlet froze and turned
toward the Ruling Alphas, eyes blazing.
    Gabby kinda wished she had some popcorn now.
This show was about to turn awesome . Even Whitney, normally
quiet and reserved Whitney, snickered and fought against a
grin.
    “I wouldn’t understand?” Scarlet’s voice was
low and filled with soon-to-be explosive anger.
    “Scarlet…” Keller kept his voice soothing and
low while glaring at Garron.
    Best. Day. Ever. If Gabby’s life was going to
be filled with drama, it was only right that her sister was there
with her.
    “Lemme ask you something: I’m the ruler of
the vagina, right? Queen of Vaginaville, home of the platinum
plated hoo-ha. So, how does it feel to have your passport revoked?”
Scarlet flashed the men a
