Isabella watched as the Alphas face crumbled, then he quickly schooled his features and stepped back a bit, his voice sending shivers down her spine as he asked, "How much do you remember?"
She furrowed her brow before replying, trying her best to remember any detail, but she kept drawing a blank.
"Did I hit my head on the monkey bars Alpha Tarakona? It wasn't Shadows fault, I swear, he would never hurt me!"
Shadow didn't know what to do. Clearly, the hit to the head had done more damage than anyone thought.
Reaching into the fa
AlphaPayne watched in silence as his old Beta threw the second snow globe at the wall, making a mental note to purchase another one so his poor mate wouldn't learn the fate of her little homeytouches in his office."Would it do any good to tell you to calm the fuck down, Santos?" He asked, reaching into his desk and retrieving a small rectangle wooden box.Flicking the lid open, he carefully selected a cigar from the contents inside, appreciating the smell his favorite brand gave off.Payne was quite partial to the Corona Maduro, the rich flavors of cocoa and espresso married together nicely on his tongue, an
Sweat trickled down the back of his neck, raven black hair wet with sweat, and quads screaming as he inched slowly up the hill.It had taken a couple of days but, the track was finally clear and Shadow could begin bringing the materials up for his project.He had to keep busy, or the Bella situation would drive the Alpha crazy and this was something he could do by himself and think about her at the same time.Isabella Romano.His childhood best friend, but in reality, she had been so much more than that. Even as a young pup he m
Isabella POVHe was back again. Every evening, the same as always, Shadow would pop his head in the door, treating Isabella to that cheeky grin and presenting her with the same flowers, wildflowers picked from their hideaway.It was still strange to see him all grown up, it seemed like only yesterday that she was telling on her latest bully, making Shadow go over and tell them off, but in reality, that was years ago.And damn, did he
CamilleIt took all her patience not to gouge the stupid girl's eyes out, and it didn't even matter that Isabella was her sister. There was only so much "Shadow" talk that Camille could take.In fact,yesterday before papa had called, she even made a sneaky tr
After an emotional visit from Mama and Papa and an awkward moment with Shadow, Isabella was finally discharged into the care of her parents.She couldn't even look her friend in the eyes after what Camille had said, and after it became painfully obvious that Isabella didn't want him there, Shadow had excused himself, explaining that he was working on a project on the outskirts of town and should probably get back to it.'You shouldn't treat mate like that,' Mazlyn warned, huffing in annoyance at her human skin's silliness, but Isabella just couldn't seem to get past what Camille had revealed. It was slowly eating her u
She could sense Shadow's eyes boring into her, but Isabella chose to ignore the pull. Something was happening as Camille escorted her through the training pack members, an awareness of sorts, and all of a sudden Mazlyn had joined her, looking through Isabella's eyes, as a feeling of excitement started to unfurl in the pit of her stomach.When Camille finally stopped, it was in front of a huge ring, and a pretty Asian woman smiled at her as Camille introduced Isabella to the females leaning on the ropes.Giselle was the Asian lady's name and Isabella quickly discovered that she was also a Beta wolf and the female wolf's trainer. Giselle was a gently spoken woman, with lovely olive skin and dark expressive eyes. He
Everything was almost in place.Santos sent the email to Alpha Payne, explaining that something had come up with his daughter and he would be extending his stay to 8 days; Payne wasn't happy but agreed to allow him more time, so if things went South at least he and his family had a pack to return to.The letter had been a stroke of genius, his only regret being that he arrived a few seconds too late to see the silly boy discover it.Santos knew that it had rattled Shadow though, his face was pinched and his features pale, when he had entered the study, and if it hadn't been for the Alpha's stubborn reluctance to let Isab
Intense lust ripped its way through Shadow's body at Isabella's words as Malik pushed him forward.With his hands fumbling and his libido in overload, the 20-year-old Alpha seriously considered smashing the door in as he dropped the keys for the third time, but Bella's soft chuckles reigned his inner beast in a bit. She nibbled playfully on the side of his neck, swirling her teasing tongue around in circles, right where she would mark him later, and it drove Shadow wild with need."Fuck this." He growled and the front door splintered as he put his foot through it, not letting Bella go for a second.His little wolf could
