Seductions (Alpha City Book 4) Read Online Free PDF Page B

Bast thrust his sword into the ground and whispered. Brody couldn’t make out the words, but elven magic was the most powerful of them all. This is what Claudia wanted. She wanted that magic, and would do everything in her power to obtain it. Even he couldn’t deny how powerful Bast Finn was. He had seen elven magic before, but now he was seeing something mythical. The glow around Bast and his men was different.
    All the Alphas were present as they watched the elf’s magic; it circled around and around, lifting him off the ground. His body hovered in front of the sign as the nails holding Jessica Wingate popped out of the sign, falling to the ground along with the rope and bomb as it floated softly. The bomb never went off. It just sat on the ground a deathly reminder of what could have happened. They would set it off when everyone was gone. They had plans already in place for emergencies like this. They watched as Jessica’s body floated into his arms then slowly he landed on his feet. One of his guards took off his cape and covered her body, allowing only her face to be seen. Bast walked over to them and laid her body down in front of Sage.
    He watched as the elven king and his guard all kneeled in front of the body and said a prayer for her, before looking at them, his eyes burning. “Sage Wingate, her death will not go unpunished. Your mother was a good woman.”
    “Thank you,” Brody said. His mate just sat lifeless in his arms as she stared at her mother’s face. She had to be in shock. He knew he sure was, but Sage needed him. Actually, she needed all of her family, including Me-Len and London.
    He glanced over at Me-Len, who was also just staring at her daughter’s body. Bast and his men seemed to drift away from them, giving Sage and Me-Len time alone with Jessica’s body. Brody appreciated what Bast had done for both of them. He shuddered, thinking what would have happened if the explosives had gone off and destroyed the rest of her body. He could already feel the rage brewing inside of Sage and even Me-Len. They needed to get them both calmed down before they went off and did something. Revenge can take over without you even knowing it. He should know; he’d almost killed Maggie when he thought that she had killed his best friend, Judd. He was such a fool. All he could see was Judd’s body lying there lifeless and thought that she was the cause, but he was wrong. Dead wrong. Maggie was the one who’d saved him, and not a minute too soon. She’d turned Judd, making him half vampire. He was stronger now. More powerful than a shifter or vampire alone…and that was what scared the vampires. Together Maggie and Judd were the strongest Alpha couple and very hard to kill. Right now, he needed to take Sage somewhere where she couldn’t see her mother’s brutal body and calm down.
    “Brody, I think we need to get everyone indoors,” Nolan said, looking around the area. He knew Nolan was right, but getting Sage to understand that might not sit well with her. He leaned down and whispered, trying to keep his voice calm hoping she would react the same way. “Sage, we need to leave. Lex is going to take care of your mother. He will treat her with care.” He didn’t jump up, but waited for his words to sink in, hopefully giving her enough time to understand. Lex came over and kneeled beside them. He had a blanket in his hand, showing it to her.
    “Sage, I would like to wrap this blanket around your mother. We can transport her to our land until you decide what you want to do. I want to get her out of this weather.” Lex explained.
    Brody waited then Sage looked up at Lex and nodded. “Thank you.”
    He let out a thankful sigh as they watched his beta wrap her mother’s body up then pick her up. Lex continued to hold her like she was alive, and treated her with care. He placed her head in the crook of his arm, then carried her over to one of their vehicles and placed her inside. He glanced back at them and
