Desert Heat (Complete)
Desert Heat Chapter 57

{Brandon’s P.O.V.}

After midnight came and went, everyone was enjoying time with mates. I couldn’t keep my hands off of Leah. She was shy for a little after Sawyer was born, but she’s started to open up again. Seeing her do that body shot off of Sam turned me on so bad. Allie was definitely rubbing off on the girls, in a good and bad way.

I was also very thankful to Allie for helping Andre. I didn’t think she would find his mate so soon, and it turned out to be Dani of all the ladies out there, but it didn’t matter. Andre was happy and so was Dani. I had Dani clock out after midnight so she could hang out comfortably without having to worry about the club manager saying anything. It didn’t matter really since I owned the club.

Allie was something else, the body shots, the dancing on the bar, the fight club that started because of her. Allie caused trouble without even knowing it, but I loved her anyway. Definitely the little sister I never had.

All of us were doing things with our mates we probably shouldn’t have been doing. In my case, I had unbuttoned Leah’s pants and had my finger in her p***y while shoving my tongue down her throat. I couldn’t wait to make love to the mother of my son when we got home. Allie was dry humping Dorian while he was kissing her chest and neck. Her top was open but still on. Lucas was sucking one of Sam’s t**s while massaging the other, Sin was sucking off Mikey, and Andre was following my lead and had his finger in Dani. Just then, my head of security came up to the lounge.

“Mr. Kane, I’m sorry to interrupt,” everyone stopped what they were doing and all of us men growled in annoyance. All the girls fixed their clothes, while Mikey zipped up his pants and looked at my head security guard Bryce with daggers in their eyes. If there one thing wolves hated the most, it was being interrupted during intimate moments with their mates.

“What do you want Bryce? As you can see, we were busy loving our mates,”

“I apologize Mr. Kane, but we have a situation. I need you and Mr. and Mrs. Shaw to come with me,” Bryce didn’t refer to Dorian and Allie as Alpha and Luna because he was a full werebear and big one at that. I made sure that all my employees knew Allie as Mrs. Shaw so it was known she was married to Dorian, even though they weren’t yet.

Hearing that this tiny little werewolf is married to the strongest Alpha in the state made other wolves and supernaturals back off, most of them at least. Allie had no problem with it because it was going to be true later in the year anyway.

“Why me?” Allie asked.

“I will explain everything Mrs. Shaw, but please come to the security office,” Bryce said. Dorian lifted Allie to her feet, and I kissed Leah and told her to wait with everyone else. We all went to the security office. Bryce kicked out the other guards, so it only left him, Dorian, Allie, and me.

“What is going on? Why do I need to be here?” Allie asked.

“Mrs. Shaw, Mr. Kane had informed me and my team of the predicament that you are in. Although I have no direct alliance with your pack, I am still head of security of this establishment, and it is my job to protect my patrons, and obey orders given to me by Mr. Kane. With that being said, my men were posed as patrons throughout the club, and a few of them noticed something out of the ordinary,” Bryce said while pulling surveillance footage. “A little while after you all entered the club, we found out that one of the bouncers was bribed by a man to be let into the club to avoid the lines and as you can see, his face cannot be seen,” what we saw on the footage was insane. A burst of light was where this guy’s head needed to be.

“This guy had infrared sensory blockers on his clothes,” Allie said.

“It appears that way, Mrs. Shaw. We kept an eye on him and found that he was not here for the NYE party. He was taking pictures. We figured he was a paparazzo of some kind, so we let him be. Then we found that he was only focused on areas where you were,” Allie tensed and grabbed Dorian’s arm and instinctively, Dorian held her close.

“Are you saying this guy was taking pictures of Allie, the entire time he was here?” I asked him.

“It appears that way, Mr. Kane. One of the men we had posing a patron was able to confirm this when he stood directly behind the man. He was able to get a photo with his phone,” Bryce pulled up the photo one the hidden guards took. It was a photo of the frame of the camera, and the subject of the photo was Allie when she was dancing on the bar. And it was only Allie, dead center in the frame.

“What else did your men see?” Dorian asked gritting his teeth.

“For a few minutes, he seemed to only observe but watching every move your wife made Mr. Shaw. When you all went back up to the lounge, he stayed in this corner, and as you can see, we can’t see his face because of the sensory blockers. As soon as the countdown started, my men said he pointed the camera directly in your direction Mr. and Mrs. Shaw, and took several dozen shots of just the two of you together,” Dorian growled and pulled Allie into a hug burying his face in her hair to keep himself calm.

“Did any of your men get a picture of this guy?” Allied asked him

“Yes, Mrs. Shaw, I’ll pull it up now,” Bryce pulled up his email on the computer and opened a photo attachment. When the photo pulled up, Allie put her face into the computer screen.

“That’s him! That’s the guy!” she shouted

“What guy?” I asked

“The rogue from Dorian’s office! The guy that smelled like burnt barbeque!” Dorian pulled up the sketch on his phone and compared it to the photo on the screen, and sure enough, it was the same guy. Now we had an actual photo of him.

“Bryce, send me a copy of this photo to my email,” I told him

“Right away Mr. Kane,”

“Where is this mother fucker!?” Dorian shouted.

“He’s gone Mr. Shaw, he left about ten minutes ago,”

“Do you have cameras in your parking lot?”

“Unfortunately, no,”

“Brandon!?” Dorian yelled at me. Damn, I knew I should have spent a little money on parking lot cameras.

“Mr. Shaw, my men were able to get a picture of the vehicle’s plates,” Bryce said. I let out a deep breath. Bryce just saved me from an early morning New Year’s a*s-kicking.

“Did you run the plates?” I asked him

“We did, they’re stolen,” I dropped my head. Either way, Dorian was going to kick my a*s.

“Please tell me you fired that bouncer who took the bribe?” Allie said while calming Dorian.

“Yes, he has been terminated,” we all nod. Although I’m sure Dorian wanted to kill the guy. I look at Allie who is making her funny thinking face.

“We’re going to use this to our advantage,” She says with her smart thinking face. She had a plan. “We have the upper hand now. We know what he looks like, and we know he is following me. So, let’s let him keep following me,”

“Baby, what are you saying?” Allie was just talking into thin air. She looks up at us as we stare at her in confusion.

“We all know Tucker is preparing for a war against us, but we also know that he needs several months to prepare. Our teams are scouring the country looking for him, and now we have someone who can actually tell us where he is! This guy is going to follow me wherever I go, and he’ll report back to Tucker and Tucker probably thinks we have no idea what’s going on. He’s going to follow us to the Bahamas, I know he is. What will piss off Tucker even more than my having been pregnant? Me getting ready to marry you,” She says to Dorian grabbing his face.

“I thought you were already married?” Bryce says.

“That’s the beside the point man, shut up and listen,” I tell him.

“He is going to get so pissed, that he’s going to make a mistake, babe,”

“Allie,” Dorian was unsure about all of this.

“This guy will follow me anywhere if it means he gets paid or whatever Tucker is doing for him. He’s going to be in the Bahamas with us, and he will follow us back. We can have Sam and Lucas’s team be on the ready when we come back to capture him, and then we can torture him for information then,”

“You seem so sure about this Allie. Why don’t we just do it now?” I say to her.

“Because we have time to plan and enjoy our lives, and Tucker is meticulous. He is hiring rogues to follow me around, instead of doing it himself, because he thinks that if that a rogue is caught, we’ll just kill him and not ask questions. And even if Tucker is unstable and psychotic, he’s not rash or stupid. He is going to wait until the believes his men are ready to defend him. I am his ultimate goal. He wants me for himself and won’t risk his own life. He will risk the men he is training right now, but he needs them to be able to fend off our men and women so he can grab me. His men are pawns in his ultimate plan, which is to potentially kill Dorian, and kidnap me,” Dorian drops his head and lets out a deep sigh.

“Dorian, she’s right. Again,” I tell him. He nods in agreement.

“Thank you for everything you and your men have done tonight Bryce. I know you said you have no alliance with our pack, but I wanted to ask if you would be willing to work with us and offer your services if we ever need you?” Allied asked him.

“What can you offer me in return, Mrs. Shaw?”

“Do you have a mate?”

“Bears don’t have mates, we have partners,”

“Okay, do you have a partner?”

“Not yet, I am still searching for her,”

“You are speaking as if you already know who she is,” Allie said lifting a brow at him. Bryce went on to explain how bears find their partners that they are shown to them in a dream when they are in their early teens and can spend their life searching for them. “Is she a woman?”

“Yes,” Allie lifts a brow again.

“Allie, what are you thinking?” Dorian asked.

“Bryce, can you describe your partner for me?” Allie asked. No way. Does she think she can find a bear’s partner for them too?

The Luna is a blessed wolf, Brandon. Why not?

I know that Eddie, but still. She doesn’t know Bryce.

The Luna is full of surprises. Let’s just wait.

“The most recent dream that I had of her showed that she’s Caucasian, natural red hair, about your length, voluptuous body, freckles all over her face, green eyes, and maybe late teens, early 20’s,” Bryce describes his mate and Allie’s mouth drops.

“Oh.my.god. I know who your partner is!” she exclaims.

“Allie, how can you know who his partner is?” I asked her.

“So, Mercury told me that I am able to sense the mate to any supernatural species if I have a bond with each person. I didn’t have to a bond to Bryce, but I have been standing here long enough to have created one. And I know a single virgin female bear that matches that description, perfectly that I have a very close bond to,”

“Mrs. Shaw, I don’t take kindly to jokes being made about our partners,”

“Bryce, she’s not joking. Allie is a blessed wolf with powers. One of her abilities allows her to feel the connection between potential mates before they even know it. She helped me find mine, three of our guards in our pack, and about three hours ago, she figured out that Dani is the mate to one of our friends from France,” I told him.

“Baby, who do you think is his partner?” Dorian asked her.

“Brandon, do you have access to employee photos for all of your clubs?” she asked me, and I nodded. “Pull up Kane Beach Club,” I took out my phone and pulled up photos all of all the employees.

“Damn, you and Sin are still listed. I should update this,”

“Give me,” I gave her my phone. She looked started to scroll for a few seconds, and then she smiled. “Bryce is this her?” she asked and showed him my phone. Bryce took the phone and then looked at Allie and then back at the phone. Allie just smiled.

“Mrs. Shaw, how…”

“Please call me Allie, I think we are going to be good friends from here on out Bryce,” she gave her signature Allie smile.

{Allie’s P.O.V.}

Finding that Siobhan is Bryce’s bear partner was crazy. But I was excited, I never knew what Siobhan meant when she said she was waiting for her destined partner whenever she told me why she was single, back when I was human. But now understanding how a bear finds their mates, it made so much more sense.

“Bryce, if I bring Siobhan to you, will you lend us your services?”

“Allie, if you bring her to me, I will offer my services whenever you need them. I will be forever indebted to you,”

“Hm,” I smile. “Baby, can I have your phone?” Dorian hands me his phone and I dial Siobhan’s number.

“Baby, it’s three in the morning, do you think she is awake,” Dorian asks

“She works at Palomino’s when pool season is closed, so I know for a fact she is awake,” I put the phone to my ear, and it starts to ring. It rings about six times before she answers. I put it on speakerphone,

“Hello?”

“Hello, my Irish beauty,”

“Holy s**t, Allie?”

“Hiiiii,”

“Whose number is this?”

“Dorian’s,”

“b***h you still don’t have a phone!?”

“That’s not important right now, but what is important is that I believe I found your bear partner. The one you said you have always been waiting for,”

“What the f**k did you just say?”

“I.found.your.partner,” I repeated.

“Don’t f**k with me, Allie!”

“I’m not Siobhan!! I’m dead serious! I found Dani’s partner a few hours ago!”

“Shut up! You did not!”

“Text her if you don’t believe me! Or, come down to Trifecta and see for yourself!”

“b***h! If you’re lying…”

“If I’m lying, then I will treat you to dinner for an entire week to wherever you want,”

“Trifecta is closed right now, Allie,”

“HELLO! I’m best friends with the owner, remember? And I’m here right now,”

“FINE! I’ll be there in ten minutes!” she hangs up. I smile at everyone and give Dorian back his phone.

We all go back out to the club where everyone has cleared out except for us. Everyone finally comes down after seeing we were back.

“What happened?” Sin asked

“Some s**t that has to do with Tucker,” I replied. “But we are good, and we are handling it,” I reassured.

“Are we ready to go home, I’m tired,” Leah said. Brandon goes to her and holds her close. Sam is barefoot and Lucas has his arm around her shoulders and they looked perfectly fine.

“Wait, what the f**k? Why is Siobhan coming here right now?” Dani asked while checking her phone. I just smiled.

“You’ll see,” I replied and held Dorian’s hand.

All of us went to the bar to have some drinks and wait. The girls sat on the top of the bar, and the guys sat in the stools between our legs. “Hey, Bryce, do you mind taking a photo of us like this?”

“Sure,” he said, and I handed him Dorian’s phone. He walked back a bit and got ready, “Alright love birds, one…two…three…Got it,” he handed the phone back to me and I looked at the photo and smiled.

“Baby, will you have this printed out for me?” Dorian nodded and put his phone back in his pocket.

“She just texted, she’s outside,” Dani said and went to go open the door. I looked over at Bryce who was visibly nervous now. He knew that she was his partner, I only hoped that she would reciprocate those feelings. A few moments later, I heard Siobhan and Dani,

“Did she really?” Siobhan said.

“Yes, she did,” Dani responded. Siobhan was wearing her stripper clothes; she must have come straight from the club. Bryce stood up from his seat and stared at her. It took her a moment, but she finally saw him and stopped dead in her tracks.

The lights in the club were on, so they both had a clear view of each other. Because I was sitting on top of the bar with Dorian between my legs with his back to me, I had a clear view of my hard work. Bryce and Siobhan walked towards each other never breaking eye contact. I wiggled my butt with excitement. Once they were about a foot from each other, Bryce grabbed her and kissed her. HARD.

“Damn I wish I had some popcorn,” Sam said throwing back a shot.

“I know, this is hot as hell!” Leah said drinking some cold water. Dani made it back to Andre who lifted her back onto the bar, and we all watched as Siobhan and Bryce ate each other’s faces for a few minutes. When they finally pulled away, Siobhan looked at me and I just cheesed at her.

“b***h! I owe you dinner for a week!” she shouted.

“I told you so,” I replied

“THANK YOU, ALLIE!!!!” she screamed.

“Yes, thank you, Allie. As we agreed, I am indebted to you until the end of my days. Please just call whenever you need my services,”

“I will, and please take care of my girl. She’s one of my closest friends,”

“You don’t have to worry about that,” Bryce replied and looked down at Siobhan. “My place or yours?” he asked her. Damn, he was wasting no time.

“Bryce, she is still a virgin,” I said to him.

“I won’t be after tonight,” Siobhan responded while starting at Bryce smiling.

“Okay, then,” that shut me up real fast.

“Yours,” she replied and with that, they left.

“Luna, you have an amazing gift,” Lucas said to me with the utmost sincerity

“Lucas speaks the truth, Allie. Your gift has brought me mon amour,” Andre added.

“Allie, you just found a bear his mate,” Brandon said.

“Partner,” I corrected Brandon

“Allie isn’t just finding mates or partners, she’s finding ally’s,” Dorian said. I looked down at him and everyone turned to face him. “Because of Allie, we have an eternal alliance with Mojave Mountain, Andre is going to move in and work at my company as an Explosives Expert, and now Bryce, this big a*s werebear is has agreed to provide his services to our pack for the rest of his life. What’s not to say he won’t convince other bears to do the same,” he turned around to face me and put one arm around my waist and took my left hand and kissed my engagement ring.

“You’re making your thinking face,” I said to him

“I can’t wait anymore,”

“Wait for what?”

“This,” he said, referring to my ring. “Marry me, Allie,”

“I believe I’ve already said yes,”

“Marry me now,” my jaw dropped to the floor.

“Uhh…What?”

“We can have Elder Maxwell make it official, later today,” he says to me.

“Your mother is planning our wedding and I haven’t even bought my wedding dress yet. What would she say?”

“We can still have a wedding, baby, and still go to the Bahamas, but I just want you to be my wife already. I am so in love with you, and I’m f*****g tired of waiting. So, what do you say?” I look at him, and I looked at everyone around us and everyone is as shocked as I am, but they are all smiling. I looked back at Dorian and I just ear to ear.

“Y…Ye..YES! YES! OH MY GOD YES!” I scream. Dorian picks me up off the bar and spins me circles while kissing me.

Best New Years EVER!
