Chapter: Chapter 8Chapter 8Vaelora’s POVI can hear the music as Sierra navigates her shiny little Audi up the long dirt road long before the house comes into view.Nervous sweat makes the already-too-tight crop top Sierra, my roommate, loaned me cling to my skin. The latex-like fabric is itchy and suffocating.The black fabric makes my skin look even paler. The ripped jeans hug every curve.Definitely not my style."So," Sierra says, checking her lipstick in the visor mirror as we continue down the dirt drive, "rule number one: stay near me. Rule number two: don't leave with anyone. Rule number three: say no to drugs—especially from strangers."I nod instead of admitting I'd rather turn around and go home.As we pull up, my anxiety spikes. The house is huge—bigger than anything I've ever seen up close. Richer than anything I'm used to.I don't want to be here.Inside, the party swallows us whole.It's muggy and far too hot. The air hangs thick, making the crowded room feel even smaller.Loud music p

Chapter: Authors NoteHello all! I am currently in the processes of fine tuning the next two chapters to get them released. Thank you all so much for your patience with the delay, as we had a recent death in the family that has been hard to coordinate in the after math. Next chapters coming soon! Stay tuned! (:

Chapter: Chapter 7Sawyer’s POVEverything runs smoothly when I return to the pack house — exactly as it should.It brings me no comfort.My mind won’t slow. A mate. Here. In my territory.She had to have moved her while I was away. There’s no other explanation. I would have sensed her. I would have known.Her face hasn’t left my mind since I saw her.Her voice echoes in the quiet.Her scent feels burned into my nostrils.Footsteps approach from behind me.“Welcome home, Alpha,” Agnes says warmly.I turn and nod. “How were things?”“Minor rogue disturbances along the borders. Nothing we couldn’t handle.”Agnes is the old Gamma, Cyrus’s mate. Cyrus still assists when needed. My current Gamma, Blaine, held command while I was in Bangor on business. Though a Gamma’s role is to lead the warriors, Blaine handles leadership seamlessly in my absence.“You seem troubled, sir.”“I’m fine. Just tired. Have my supper sent to my room.”I head upstairs but end up in the library instead. There has to be something

Chapter: Chapter 6Vaelora’s POVI feel frazzled and distracted as I fold the scattered piles of laundry in the small back room. My hands move automatically, but my mind is nowhere near the towels.A strange feeling has settled over me.Those men upstairs — twins, without a doubt — left me shaken in a way I can’t explain. They were familiar. Beautiful in a Greek-god sort of way. Dangerous.A warmth pools low in my stomach. Foreign. Heavy.And beneath it… a pull.An overwhelming need to go back upstairs to them claws at my composure. I have to physically steady my breathing.Who are they?Where do I know them from?Why did my body react the way it did to the one who caught me?Sebastian.That’s what the other one called him.When he grabbed me to keep me from falling, I almost leaned closer. Almost pressed into him.I have never wanted to be that close to a man before. Especially not one I had just met.“Lori? Mario asked me to find you. The big meeting upstairs is almost over.”Donna leans into the door

Chapter: Chapter 5Sawyer’s POV The ride from the pack house to the hotel is dreadful. The thought of seeing Sebastian’s smug face twists something ugly inside me. When we pull up to the entrance, my unease deepens. I sigh and pray to the Moon Goddess that today passes with minimal mental anguish. I open the door — and instantly know my prayers have gone unanswered. Her scent hits me. Smoky vanilla and lavender. Intoxicating. It wraps around me like a second skin. I can feel her. Oh, Goddess… no. A mate. My grip tightens on my briefcase. It must be a she-wolf who came with Sebastian. My inner wolf claws for control. On the inside, everything screams to run to her. Find her. Claim her. Mark her. On the outside, I shift uncomfortably, forcing composure. I drag a hand through my tightly manicured hair and make myself move forward. I hope she doesn’t cause a scene. I don’t want to be forced to appear accepting in front of everyone. I’m not even sure I want a mate again. Not afte

Chapter: Chapter 4Sebastian’s POVIt’s been four years since I’ve been back to Acadia Moon.The place I grew up. Home.Even if I’m not allowed back at the pack house, it still feels good to be here. Safe. Familiar.I wind down from my run, strolling lazily through town. The air is warm and clean, a light August breeze shuffling my long blond hair around until strands catch in the stubble along my jaw. It’s nearly shoulder length now. Time for a trim.The town bustles with people running morning errands, shop doors opening, laughter drifting through the streets.I check my watch. 8:45 a.m.The meeting starts at ten.I turn toward the hotel. If I show up looking like a sweaty hood-rat, Sawyer will never let me hear the end of it. No need to hand him ammunition.————————————————————————————When I step into the hotel lobby, my senses snag on something.Smoky vanilla. Lavender.It was faint yesterday when I checked in. Now it’s stronger.It unsettles me — not in a bad way. Just… sharp. Electric.I brush it
