“Literally hours before I left. I used The Nest programming to dig deeper into his history. Into files that had been locked, and I knew they were in places even Loki couldn’t find them. I knew Swift was hiding something, so I kept digging and checking into his family. Then I made the connection of his father to you in the military. Gates was the only other surviving member of the embassy attack, so I knew instantly Swift was the one who ordered my assassination attempt on you. He was planning a coup. He wanted to be president and to do that, you needed to be dead.”
Alpha growls, his fists clenching as I gently rub his shoulder.
“He’s an asshole for betraying you like that. I wish I had put the pieces together sooner for you.”
He spins, sliding back to lay on the bed, his arm out, gesturing for me to slide into the crook of his shoulder and neck so I make myself at home in his arms. Cuddling into him, his hand comesup, stroking my hair again as he exhales forcefully. “I’m glad it’s done… I gotta focus on moving this club forward. We can’t look back. Clover is going into her senior year. Ingrid is pregnant, and she and South are taking care of Bella. Rhyan is trying to figure out the path she wants to take in life. The club has to vote on a new VP, and most importantly of all, I need to find a way forward on custody with Livvy. Because I’mnotgoing a day longer without having Poppy in my life.”
My fingers run up and down his chest to soothe him, and I glance up, looking into his eyes. “We will do all of this and more, Alpha. But we will do it together. As a team. You and me.”
Suddenly, he spins us, pinning me to the broken bed beneath him. His cock pressing against me again when he stares into my eyes. My arms are pinned beside my head and he leans in so close I can smell the tequila on his breath. “You and me are a team, Haven. I want you to understand how much I need you by my side.”
Weakly smiling, I go to move my hand, but he keeps me pinned to the bed. A slow smile crosses my face as he continues to dominate, and I love it. “I understand. I’m not going anywhere. I’m with you.”
Alpha’s eyes light up like that was the best possible thing I could have said before he presses his lips to mine forcefully. He bites my lip, almost drawing blood, then he kisses me with so much passion it takes my breath away. My legs instinctively wrap around his waist, his cock growing hard against me again as I whimper into his mouth. He lines the tip of his cock up with my pussy before he pulls back from me, his eyes finding mine. Then he stops from entering me fully, just edging the tip in. “You’remine, Haven. Completely.”
“Yes,” I whimper.
He slides his cock in a little further, both of us moaning as his length fills me. “I’m claiming you, little lamb,” he grits throughstaggered breaths, his eyes locking with mine.
My breath catches, my hand breaking free from his tight grip as I slide it up, caressing his face, just needing to touch him while he thrusts deeper inside me, the feeling so full. “Yours!” I barely manage to whimper as he leans in, pressing his lips to mine, hard, passionate, intoxicating.
We move together, this time much slower, more intense than previous. This is what making love feels like, and if I’m going to spend the rest of my life with Alpha, I know that my life with him will be filled with so much love, both in and outside the bedroom.
Right now, though, my heart is full.
Being claimed by him is something I never thought would happen, considering the circumstances. But I am more than happy to take it, to take him, to be his, and for him to be mine. Because somehow, someway, we make sense, and a world without us being together is a world I want no part of. But for the next few hours, I intend to be lost in our little bubble because this world we have created is so utterly perfect, so blissful.
It isexactlywhat we need right now.
Until the harsh realities of the world come crashing back in the morning.
But tonight—we have tonight, and we’re going to make the most of it and each other.
CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
Haven
A Week Later
In the Chapel with Alpha and Loki, I laugh and shake my head. “No! See, the interface allows you access to the files of The Nest, which have been encrypted. And I think the coding allows you access to all the cartel’s files in their database, too, because The Nest is part of the Rojas Cartel.”
Loki glances at Alpha, a small smile crossing his face. “So wait… you’re telling me we can access the entire cartel network with this code?” Loki asks.
I shrug. “I don’t know about the entire network, but certainly parts of it. I am happy to help in any way I can, Loki. Whatever you need. I think you will need to grab as much information as possible and perhaps build some safeguards in case they remove that code, seeing as I have flown the coup, but right now, they haven’t woken up to it.”
Alpha lets out a small laugh, pulling me to him and kissing my temple. “You’re helping more than you know, baby.”
“Yeah, Haven, I don’t know what we’re going to find, but any information to help us get payback on Rico for what he did to Poppy is going to be a game-changer,” Loki states, and I glance up at Alpha.
A sense of purpose flows through Alpha. He still hasn’t heard from Livvy since she took Poppy out of the clubhouse a week ago. So, he has been looking for a way to make this right.
We may have found a way.
A sudden knock on the door has the three of us glancing up at Mav peeking through. “Sorry to interrupt. Pres, there’s someone here I think you’re gonna wanna see.”
Alpha raises his brow in curiosity. “Who?”
“I think it’s better if you just come and talk to them yourself.”
