Abruptly, she snatched the knife her father had long ago given her that was tucked into her boot and speared it into his chest.When a stunned-looking Chubby came charging at her, she rolled to the side and sliced both his Achilles tendons as he stumbled past. Like a sack of spuds, he fell to the ground, crying out. Rolling once again, she seized the rifle and twisted to see that Chubby was trying to crawl away. He froze when she cocked it and gave her a pitiful look. She shrugged. “I told you I’d kill you.” The bullet hit him dead-center in his forehead. It was then that Merk swung the door open. But she had already cocked the gun again, ready to shoot, and was aiming it as his head. “You should have run, Monkey Boy.” But the awkward bastard dove to the side, making the bullet skim his ear. “Fuck.” Then a wall of flames suddenly formed around the hut, and Merk slammed the door closed. “Double fuck.” Before she could even think of acting, a
As Bree yapped beside him at the dining table about something or other, Onyx forced a smile for her. Oh, she was a nice enough girl and stuff, but he just didn’t do the friend thing, and apparently a person didn’t have a choice in the matter when it was Bree He noticed that his mate, who was sitting on his other side, was stifling a smile of amusement at his discomfort—as usual. Just a little longer, he reminded himself. Just a little longer, and then he and Tasha would be finished with their evening meal and leaving Sliver Pack territory, and they would only be returning as visitors. Since the night of the battle, he and Tasha had been living on pack territory temporarily. Although they had slept in the motor home outside the caves, they were still constantly harassed and, as such, had had very little time alone. Onyx and Tasha weren’t the only ones who had remained on pack territory. Trevon,
When she finally untangled herself from him, he explained, “It’s not just the only lodge here now. The owners built and rented out several other lodges on the land, which would be perfect for the ‘pack’ to live in. It means you and I will have our own space.” Touched to the point that she was tearful, she said, “I really, really can’t believe you’ve done this. I never would have guessed. I suppose I should have—you always try to spoil me.” “It’s my right, and it’ll happen a lot, so you need to get better at accepting gifts.” She waved away that comment. “You know what else I can’t believe? That the prejudiced humans sold the place to a shifter.” When he opened his mouth to speak, she raised a hand. “Don’t tell me…Your contacts got involved, right?” “Right,” he confirmed. “Want to go inside?” “Do Dalmatians have black spots?” “One thing first: I made a few…changes.”
few years later. Opening your eyes to find that you’re upside down can’t be good, can it? Through the cobwebs clouding her mind, Kass realized that it wasn’t just she who was upside down. The car had toppled over.Well, that sucked. Clearly the fuck-up fairy had made an appearance.Strangely, Kass felt no rush of panic, no fear. And despite that she was pretty sure her head was bleeding, there was no pain. There was only a feeling of weightlessness. Even the fact that her wolf was frantic didn’t disturb Roni in this dreamlike moment. Her brain distantly registered that the car kept leaning sideways, as if something was repeatedly pulling at it. But it was the various sounds that penetrated her mental fog: low moans, a phone ringing, a child crying, and strange voices arguing.Sensing that the ringtone and the moans were coming from her left, kass turned her head to find a male wolf shifter in the driver’s seat, e
Onyx knew bad news was coming. Don't ask him how, he just knew. Sometimes, it happened, he'll just know that something not to his favor was about to occur. Maybe it's years of honed instincts, an hunch, a feel in the air that set his wolf on edge. Since he was a small boy he has always almost knew where a certain missing object might be, like his toys or pen. But there were also times when the 'hunch' was heavy in the air, where his instincts would shout a warning deep in his bone. Maybe it's a gift, or all alpha has it but the point is that he knew terrible news was coming and it was getting difficult not to let the mix emotions of dread, anticipation and anxiety to spill over to the pack link. He's very sure that his brother and one of his shield – the two wolves in the car with him have caught some of his anxiety. But that's to be expected since they were very close to him. His wolf had sense Onyx's tension too and now paced within him like
"Tara's in the kitchen." Jordan said. Referring to the Alpha of Sliver pack. Onyx entered the cabin, making his was through series of turns before entering the kitchen. There were more wolves in siting on the table – the head enforcer, the beta pair and Alpha and his mate. They didn't look happy to see him, not the enforcers or Beta pair and especially not the Alpha, Tara. Onyx knew then why he had been feeling impending anxiety since morning; they all knew the truth, about Tasha being his mate. He knew this would happen anyway, and not one to play games of words or pretence, he said, facing them. "You knew." "Yes I know." Tara said, her voice sharp. Her mate, Ethan put a hand on her shoulder, clearly to prevent her from flying at Onyx, she was knew for her hot temper and anymore stupid enough to be fooled by her small status paid for it, she's very powerful and scary if she wanted to be, most people in the shifter community stay clear of her. "Is this w
But Ace was right– finding her won't be enough. He had to make right what he made wrong. He would step down from the Alpha position and took Trevor and him mum's advice and claim her. That was it, he was going to do it and if it meant leaving the pack and interwar in the pack because of the power vacuum, so be it. Tasha was his and he would claim her He didn't need to tell her pack all this– they wouldn't believe him anyway. They won't tell him anything if he tell them , they'll just think he's lying just to know her whereabout. Onyx was a powerful Alpha with powerful connections, there's no pack she'd be hiding he wouldn't find her . "Onyx?" He turned, meeting Ethan's eyes. "Let her be." Ethan said. "No going to happen, if you want to start war between our packs, so be it." With that said Onyx marched out of the room. Ethan sighed deeply as the door closed. They had hid Tasha well, all the way to north Carolina. And Ethan had
FIVE MONTHS LATER I won't aim the needle at her eyes, I won't, I won't. But it's sure as hell hard not to send the tattoo needle deep into her fellow tattooist eyes. Doing her best to ignore the annoying woman over her shoulder she put the finishing touches to the red and bright blue butterfly her client requested. Normally, Tasha don't give a fuck about anybody's opinion or snide remake and she sure as hell don't give a shit about Dora's, who the hell name their kids Dora anyway? But Tasha was simply to tired, and don't have the tolerance to deal with Dora right now. In all the close to six months she'd used here she has tried hard not to let the insult her fellow tattooist to bother her, they dish out insult with fake smile. Tasha had sensed the reason they gave her their patronizing smile and insult– she didn't belong. Tasha don't have multiple tattoo, and she's too thin, the only tattoo was the one i
