Sabrina CliffeSabrina could not hear herself screaming even though she was wailing at the top of her lungs."Kill me!" She raged. "Don't leave me without arms. Jett! Kill me, damn it!"If she could just get close so that her flesh would touch those detached limbs, maybe they would reattach and start to heal. How could everything have gone so very wrong.She had seen Sophia Nile come out of Jett's house, wearing his jacket and reeking of him. She'd thought it was the Fate that brought her out. That the heavens had to be on her side. But she had been very wrong! The trãmp had not only hit back, but she'd fought hard. Sabrina still could not believe this was the same girl that had been a prisoner and at her mercy not long ago.This was supposed to be simple and brief. One dart should have done the job. Denise Lane had betrayed her. That worthless Parker and his partner, Ron. The two had brought the ghillie and poison but had clearly gotten bested by the traitorous Denise afterward. Oh
Sophie POVI ducked just in time for the dart to zing past me. The figure in the ghillie bared its teeth and then reached into its pocket. They left their hiding place and took a few steps closer for a better aim. The last time I saw this person, I was their target, too. Jett had saved me, then, but the poison had caught and left me unconscious for a few hours. The person behind the camouflage was Sabrina, Jett's ex fiancée. I confirmed her identity last time, but Jett did not believe me. Fury burned in my chest at the memory of my mate defending her. This female paraded herself in front of me, wearing Jett's clothes to torment me. She even offered me to a guard to be used and räped. My rage burned hotter with these thoughts as another poisonous dart flew my way. I dodged again, then charged towards her as she was reaching for another dart.Suddenly, the woods became noisy with barks and footsteps, and wolves fighting and arguing nearby. "Need to stop her," argued a vaguely familia
Sophie POVI took a nap after Jett and I talked. The short rest was filled with dreams of him, kissing me, and whispering loving words to me. When I opened my eyes, I was disoriented for a moment and thought everything else had been a dream. From the point of my escape up to the call before I slept off. The sun had set. I looked all around at the palatial bedroom and couldn't believe how much things had changed in a space of this morning and sunset. The whole events of this morning felt like a different lifetime now. Jett Chase, my mate, was no longer engaged. He was a free, single male, fated to me. What did this mean for us? I was so looking forward to finding out and couldn't wait to see him. Although, a part of me was anxious about how everything would unfold. What did the pack think about the broken engagement?Wouldn't it cause problems with the Ruby Bloodmoon? I hugged the pillow tighter, loving the feel and reveling in his scent. He would not be back here until after dark.
Richard WolfeWith his arms wrapped around his female, Richard thought he was the happiest male alive. As she kissed him back, he realized that he needed no further assurance of her love.Tessa had never used the L word. Twice, he'd told that he loved her, and she'd giggled in delight and replied,'''I know, and it feels amazing.'''He didn't mind her not saying it back and had been content with simply knowing that she belonged to him. He told himself that she wasn't quite there yet. After all, she'd just come out of a relationship. One in which the male actually succeeded in slipping a ring in her finger. To hear her say that she loved him out loud? It was the second happiest moment of his life. The first was the moment their bond snapped into place.Tessa began to break the kiss. He wasn't ready to let her go."Rich," she whispered, giggling against his lips. "People can see us from out there.""So? They know you're mine. We're allowed to kiss, sunshine." At the same time, a sing
Jett POVI wanted to go to Raven more than anything. I desperately wished I could skip this meeting with Merritt, but it was something I must tick off my to-do list ASAP. It was only courteous to do so as his sister was on her way back home now. I decided to keep the meeting as brief as possible. He was on the phone when I arrived at our meeting spot. A dive bar near the outskirts of both our cities. The look on his face told me that he had spoken to his sister. "Sabrina didn't sound right," he said as I was lowering myself to the chair across from him. "I'm came here to tell you where I stand, Merritt," I went straight to the point. "We can not be bound by familial ties." He balled his fist on the table, tightening his lips. It looked like he would slam his fist on the table or swipe everything off the table in a rage. He simply looked all around before hissing, "So you're rejecting my sister." "Yeah," I nodded. "We can't be mated. As you already know, I'm bound to-" "Raven.
Jett POVClove looked painfully relieved as I raced towards the woods at last. He linked orders to the deputy chief and other warriors before following behind me.The wind and sound of animals chirping calmed a little. I was near the river and filthy from the fight. I stank of Andy's blood. Heading straight into the flowing water, I began to wash the blood off me when my Beta asked carefully,"How do you it was him?" "Raven told me," I replied. "He planned to keep her for himself!""Unbelievable..." He breathed, shaking his head. "I never would've guessed. And I should have. Alpha, I am so sorry. I can't believe my incompetence. This is so embarrassing. I was just so focused on the alliance...""Don't beat yourself up. I wasn't sure, too, and I should have been. She is my female! I should have known for sure that he got his eyes on her. He planned to sink his filthy claws..." I gritted my teeth. "He's no longer part of my warriors!"Clove nodded, "Sure thing. Of course.""Also, he co
