LOGINThen I see something I wasn’t expecting to see today: the Alpha Prince and his brother arriving for the show.I reach over to get Sebastian’s attention, pointing to the werewolves we weren’t expecting. Sebastian curses, then looks up at the scarf wrapped around the lower half of my face, just like i
NatashaI try to relax into the trunk of the tree, but it’s hard to truly relax when I’m on a branch high up enough that a fall could kill me.“You have to sleep, Natasha. If you’re too tired to keep your eyes open tomorrow, you’re useless to us.”“I know,” I snap at Sebastian’s harsh words.This wi
Sebastian leads me to the left with a gentle hand on my hip.The six of us spread out in pairs, still able to see each other as we hide behind trees. Once we’re all in place, we peek around our trees to the horrific sight ahead.The lone werewolf sits on the ground with his back to us. Two humans li
NatashaI’m already in my training gear, so I use the time that Marion and Sebastian take to argue over whether or not I’m joining him to braid back my hair in a French braid. It takes much less time than it used to since it’s so short now.It’s Sebastian saying, “Please don’t make her prove she can

Amelia“Get up.”I avoid the werewolves’ stares as I turn toward the sound of Ava’s voice. Of course she had sat next to her mate. Even though the tension between the two of them is palpable, they at least need to keep up appearances. Even I understand that much.Now that the prince has left the b
“I wonder if they’d say the same.”He bristles. “And what about your bed partner?”“Ava is enjoying the hunt,” I answer vaguely.He smiles mischievously. “I wasn’t referring to Ava.”I glare at my half-brother.“Where is your pet?” Diego asks. “Still in your tent?”“Ava is my only bed partner,” I re
“Clearly, you can’t be trusted,” he shoots back.I wonder, as he opens the door to my room for me, if Ava realizes that every time she hurts me, she’s only giving me an opportunity to be doted over by her mate.The next day, I hit the gym at the same time.
