“And you know why I want as much time away from him as I can get.”
I stumbled backward, hitting the wall of his room.
“I’m sorry, I think you have me confused with someone else.”
“I hardly think I could confuse some innocent healer with my twin.”
Perrin
I found myself moving through the warm mass of bodies throughout the house. The DJ could be heard everywhere. Wolves I knew--wolves I didn’t know, were dancing, drinking, making out in whatever dark corners they could find.
It had been awhile since I had been at a house party like this. I really enjoyed them. Well, I used t

EthanThe voice that returned words was low and full of longing. “True mates.”I was frozen in place, unable to move.“Ethan? What are you doing here?”JazI turned from Ethan to Justin. Ethan was barely inside the room’s doorway. There’s no way they would have had a chance to talk--no time for Justin to out me for who I was.“What are you doing here?”Ethan blinked, as if just noticing my arrival.“What?”“I said, what are you doing here?”His head swiveled

JazI burst out of the front doors of the infirmary, gasping for breath and shaking my head. Was this all just a bad dream?Charlie beeped at me from the curb.“Miss Jaz? Are you in need of a ride?”I nodded before I knew what I was doing, stealing into the back seat of the car.“To the party?”“Yes, please. Thank you, Charlie.”Fortunately he wasn’t usually a chatty driver.My mind was still racing, checking off the list of nightmare scenarios, one after the other.My father had found me. My survival was no longer a secret.

Jaz“No scrubs allowed.”My insides hummed. That was music to my ears.He took my hand and led me silently down the hallway. He managed to get his door open without a sound, closing it and locking it behind us.Perrin didn’t share a suite like the other rooms on this floor. The Alpha Dauphin’s door opened straight into his large bedroom. The top floor of his space gave him assured privacy despite the large floor-to-ceiling windows that covered an entire wall. The moon was full tonight, and no need for any lamps in the bedroom. On a night like this, it was as if we were outside in the cool evening air.I didn’t realize but I had walked instinctively toward the window. The moon cast deep shadows over redwood trees that

EthanJustin took a deep breath before speaking. “Ethan, please meet…. My father.”I could see his back straighten, his muscles tensing under the sheets of the patient bed. I hadn’t met the Alpha of the Chiyad pack, but had heard whispers of him throughout my youth. He seemed always at odds with one pack or another, never totally at peace with any of the surrounding territories. He was also mysterious, often sending his Beta to represent him at formal functions. I guess he was as mysterious of an Alpha to the greater werewolf community than we had ever known.Justin’s reaction was defensive. I had no idea what his relationship was like with his father, but today it was tense. I stood, rising from the patient bed to meet him. I deferred my eyes; it was appropriate for any Beta. But my mind was racing. This w

JazI woke early the next morning, cheek pressed against the cool cheek of the pillow. I rolled over only to see the sheets empty beside me.Today was Sunday. Perrin got the day off from training. Well, it was really more of a pack-wide mandate. Sundays were for rest. He didn’t need to be at the Lodge.My eyes flitted to the bathroom, scanning for a light under the door. It was dark. I looked at the hazy film of sunrise appearing over the tops of the redwoods. My cheeks burned from the thought of those trees had seen last night, but the flop of dusty blond hair caught my eye.Perrin had slept in the big armchair by the window last night. He had come to bed with me eventually, but he had been restless. Our lovemaking had made me drift off. When had he moved to the window?

JazMy body was exhausted, but it seared with the exhilaration of intense shock. And hatred.“What are you doing here?” I hissed, closing the door behind me as if nervous Tom would see. “How did you get in here?”He didn’t seem ruffled, but rather bemused. “Do you really need to ask those questions?” He folded the paper and set it on the couch beside him.He was dressed in an immaculate suit, the same gray tailored suit he used to wear everywhere; pack meetings, family dinners--there was a rare memory that I could recall in which he didn’t seem to be wearing that uniform.I set the newspaper on the kitchen counter,

Ethan “Please. I need to speak with Perrin immediately.” “I’m sorry, Ethan,” Mark said. “The Alpha left strict instructions not to be interrupted. “Who else is in there?” My voice was pathetically desperate. “Who the Alpha and the Alpha Dauphin meet with are not for us to disclose. You can wait until they’re done.” Without giving him an option, I entered his office and sat down where Gamma Janas had been sitting just moments before. “Fine. I’ll wait.” ** Perrin I’ve never felt such power in a room before. Alpha Nael wasn’t challenging my father; but his posture, his stoicism, and his overall proper manner and tailored suit le

PerrinEthan seemed anxious.He had just sat down but was now pacing back and forth across my room. I watched as he ran his fingers through his hair, pausing momentarily as he brushed across the patch of stubble growing in over a thin scar on his scalp.How did Ethan know my dad and I had met with the Alpha of the Chiyad pack about him? I was still wrapping my head around what the Alpha had said--and what my dad hadn’t. Something wasn’t adding up. But it was as though he was looking to accuse my father of something, and I didn’t know what that was either. I needed time to think about it, but as I watched the agitated Beta in front of me, I knew this wasn’t the moment.“What’s going on?” I asked. Ethan wasn’t one to get nervous. While he of
