I can't believe this.So there I lay at the mercy of another Alpha. I'm now on my knees with my head bowed.This isn't fair. I don't want to go back to prison. I didn't do anything.I can't go back. I've got to take care of Amber. I have to save her.Then I hear a growl. " Lift your head up, boy. Now!" says Amber's father.I do as I'm told, not wanting to tick them off anymore." It is him, Alpha George," says Amber's father." Contact Alpha Conan. Tell him we found his son," says alpha George.At those words, fear fills me. If my dad gets ahold of me again, there's nothing stopping him from killing me." Yes, Alpha," says Amber's father before walking off.John saw me and ran up. " Your son is alive, Alpha. He should heal soon," says John.Relief fills me with that. Cassandra would have gone crazy if she lost him after just finding him." He got aw

Connor and I are lying on the ground. My head resting on his chest.We've been lying there and talking for a while.We tried the mind link between the two of us. It's awesome.Now I can talk to him when he's in wolf form.As the minutes ticked by, I couldn't help but wonder what tomorrow would be.What will happen to the pack? How many innocent wolves will die protecting our home from these rogues?" Don't panic Amber. Remember this important fact. Cassandra, Clayton and I will be here in the woods to help defend your pack," says Connor." Our pack. Once this entire thing is cleared up, you will be joining the pack," I say.He smiles. " That would be nice. Being a part of a pack that doesn't want to put me in jail," says Connor.He then turns to me. " Even better. Once we solve things with my father, maybe we could take over my old pack," says Conner." Hopefully, one day that will come true," I say.He smiled. After that, the two of us just laid there in silence.' AMBER HURRY BACK!!

" Ok. Let's get some food and get our stuff packed. We will get moving in three hours," says John.We all nodded, and I started to work on making the food.It didn't take long before we were sitting down eating.After we eat, we finish getting our stuff ready.Tonight's the last night. I'm still a bit scared about this.Like how are we going to get out of this house? What are we going to do if we get caught?How the heck are we supposed to pass the freaking guards surrounding my house?I know John said he's got it covered, but I still can't help but worry about it.' Don't worry. Everything will turn out OK. I'm sure of it.' Says my wolf' Ok. I hope you're right,' I say back.Soon we were all ready to go. While Kurt and I stand by the back door. John stands next to us. He's going to go through the front door." Ok. So what are we going to do?" I say." I'm going to distract the guards and get them away from the house. The second they leave, you three take off for the woods and go to

The three of us walked into the meeting room to see Alpha George talking with my father and Tasha's father.Guards everywhere throughout the room just in case.I walk forward. When dad sees me, he looks back at Alpha George and nods." We didn't have a rogue attack this morning. They had all been killed. However, one rogue made it to town. He was quickly taken care of. This rogue had a note attached to it," says Alpha George." It's from the boss rogue. " Says my father.I knew he'd leave something like that." What does it say?" I ask.My dad walks forward and hands the note to me. I look down and start reading. It says.You had your chance, Alpha. I gave you as many days as I could, but I've done enough waiting. It's time I do things my way. You got till morning to prepare for my attack. Innocent wolves will die. If you're in my way you will die. I want a girl. I'm coming for her myself. Be ready, Alpha, for the fight you'll wish you never caused.Reading those words sent a huge sur

" Really, you guys met on the night of the party?" says John.I nod. " Yeah. I was mad and when I went into the woods I came across him. "Connor nodded. He was currently holding my hand as we sat. We were sitting on the ground in a big circle. All mate next to each other, with John by me." She has been the best thing that has ever happened to me since the day I got arrested. I mean escaping was nice, but finding your mate is way more amazing than that," says Connor.I smiled at him. John smiled. After a while, we were lying together on the ground.Enjoying the time we get to spend together.Soon it was getting close to daylight." We better get moving before our parents wake up," says John." Yeah, we better get going," I said, sitting up.Connor stood up and helped me to my feet.Together we all ran to the base of the woods in my yard.Kurt said bye to Cassandra and kissed her forehead before looking at us.Tasha kissed Clayton and hugged him before going to stand next to John and

So here we are. My brother and Alpha's son are standing to the right.My mate and his childhood friends stood to the left. Tasha and I were in the middle.Connor was clutching his side where he had been bitten, but he was looking from me to John and Kurt.John was staring at Connor. " Uh." I couldn't say anything after that." So my sister has found her mate. I see why you weren't able to tell us," says John.Kurt hadn't said anything yet. I moved over to Connor. " You need to sit and wait till you heal," I said.He nods. " She's right. You've been hurt and need to sit till you heal," says John, walking forward.He helped me get Connor sitting at the base of a tree." I know you may be confused as to why I'm helping him," says John." To be honest, I am, "I say." I may have overheard you and Connor talking in your room the other night," says John.My eyes go wide. As does Connor. " I heard him saying that he loves you. That's when I realized you two were mates. Oh, and Connor. Nice.

On the way home, they stopped at Best Buy to purchase in-wall speakers for her new stereo system and many other counterparts that Chrissie couldn’t put a name to. She might own her own interior design business, but any type of electronic addition for a client was taken care of by the proper professionals. Back at the house, they continued their playful bantering and easy-going teasing while hauling in her new cabinet, but Chrissie started to get more and more nervous.She was in love with this man...after only two weeks! And she didn’t know what to do next. Sex? A more intense make-out session, picking up where they left off from that morning? Or just a cozy, romantic dinner...without Dena?Or start with the dinner and see what happens?Heavens! She could barely focus on anything all day, and Race started to notice. He caught her watching him, and he actually took a daring step toward her before shaking his head and wandering off to the basement. Chrissie spent most of the af

By the time she actually got to eat her breakfast, Chrissie’s composure was stretched to all new level. It was the little things that got to her. The girl at the front counter of Cracker Barrel’s restaurant directed them to a table near a window and asked, “How’s this?” And Race turned to Chrissie and said, ‘Is this okay with you, or would the sunlight bother you?”She didn’t say anything. She just sat down and kept her mouth shut. Then when the server came by and asked for their drink order, Chrissie deliberated on having the cranberry juice -- which she loved -- or just some coffee, and Race looked up and smiled and said, “She’ll have both.” Chrissie bit down on her tongue. Then he asked for extra pecans in her pancakes, an extra order of the hashbrown casserole to take home with them -- “Just in case you want some later.” -- and then held her hand tenderly on top of the table and said, “When was the last time I told you how beautiful you are?”The irony of the situation did

Race walked out, not hearing Chrissie sputtering on the bed as the implication of his teasing set in. "I'm spoiled?" She thought about that, really did not like how her thoughts were coming together, and chewed on her lip until Dena poked her head around the corner."Hey, you," her sister smiled gleefully. "So, how was it?"Chrissie, deep in thought about the sincerity in Race's words when he said he spoiled her, she glanced up at Dena. "Huh? Oh, nothing happened. Am I spoiled?""What?" She bounced on the bed next to Chrissie and kept grinning."Am I spoiled?" she repeated."What do you mean, spoiled as in tainted, or spoiled as in pampered?"Chrissie glared because she honestly didn't think there were levels to being spoiled. "What do you think?"Dena rolled her mouth around a bit, thinking about her answer. "Do you want the 'You're my sister and my very bestest friend in the whole-wide world' answer, or do you want the truth?"Chrissie's eyes widened. "It's true?! I'm a sp

When he saw her, dancing by herself to the music, he could only grin and shake his head some more. She wore a lime green nightgown that fell to her thighs, a pair of blue jeans, her faux fur slipper boots and a cashmere shawl over her shoulders. It looked like she'd been playing dress-up again tonight.Slowly, so as to not startle her, he walked over and said, "Hello, Chrissie."She smiled dreamily as she danced in a circle. "Don't you just love this song?"Yeah, he did. "Lay It Down" was "Their Song." They danced to it at their wedding, much to Dolly's disgruntlement. The rock ballad wasn't the most appropriate song for a wedding reception, but Chrissie wanted it, and so they used it."May I have this dance?" he offered, holding out his hand to her."Oh, yes...please," she sighed and slipped into his arms. They moved around the room through three repeats of the song. Race gorged himself on watching her sweet face as she smiled hypnotically, her eyelids half-closed. As exhau

Race smoothed out the piece of notepad paper on Chrissie's desk. He found it earlier this week while looking for a pen to jot down a reminder to call his racing sponsor and reschedule a meeting with the athletic clothing company. When he saw the words that his wife wrote in an attempt to apologize to him, he couldn't believe his eyes. The notepad had fallen out of her work bag that he knocked to the floor, and his heart almost stopped."...It's sad, so sad...sorry seems to be the hardest word..."The lyrics to the song had clearly been written in the last two weeks because underneath that page had been a note about a doctor's appointment.Slowly, he dug out Chrissie's box from the desk drawer, almost afraid that his memory was as bad as hers. But no...as soon as he held the letter written years ago, right after they first met, he trembled because similarities were just too astonishing.Race, I'm sorry for...well, you know why. This past week has been wonderful, and you are a great guy

Though dawn had yet to approach, Race watched the landscape along the interstate swoosh by his window. Half of him knew he should have canceled this training trip, but the other half of him knew he needed to get away, if only for the day. Chrissie didn't seem to mind that he'd be out of town all day, and Dena practically pushed him out of the door early this morning after they took care of Chrissie and her nightly sleepwalking, saying that at least he could get a little sleep during the three hour drive to Fayetteville.But sleep evaded him. All he could think about was what Chrissie said last night over gyros and spanakorizo. "I don't want to tell anyone else," she said, arguing with Dena.Dena said, "People need to know. They're going to start suspecting that something is going on.""Let them suspect," Chrissie returned. "I'll deal with them as things happen, but it's my problem. No one else needs to be dragged into it."It's my problem...not his and hers...just hers. The implicatio
