When I protested that someone would notice them, they just laughed. Typhon is known and feared throughout the area. Why wouldn’t he be out and about with one of his cronies? They even planned to stop at a local pub for a pint to further the ruse that they were merely a pair of carousing rogues.

I have to admit, their reasoning makes sense, but I can’t shake the serpentine shiver of fear crawling in my belly. I know I should trust Typhon and Fire Moon; after all, they’ve been Living like this for years. Surely they know what they’re doing.

  • An Alpha for the Alpha   Barganning with the witch

    *Jonas* I know I’m running out of time. Davenport has no pressing reasons to keep me alive. He clearly only intends to have what he considers a little sport with me. He probably thinks it’ll be exciting to have his way with the husband of a Rogue Alpha. Carlotta, on the other hand, is motivated by bigger reasons, most of which involve the collapse of the werewolf society and killing of packs. And it’s obvious that the witch believes passionately in her cause. My two captors are bickering over my fate, and I have no doubt that the argument is going to escalate into a full-scale shouting match before long. I also have no doubt that Carlotta will emerge the victor. It’s a simple enough outcome to predict; Davenport can always find another someone to pester. Carlotta just want me out of the way. And that means I’ll end up very dead if I don’t do something soon. ‘We should do something’, Cana mumbles. ‘But I still believe our mate will come save us.’ I’m still held firmly in

  • An Alpha for the Alpha   His life is over

    *Typhon* My first thought upon hearing the shot is that my life is over. My second thought is exactly the same, although not for the same reasons. As soon as I realize that I’m not dead, and that Fire Moon has managed to bring down the villain who’d been attempting to shoot me with a well-placed blow to the head, it occurs to me that the shot I’d heard was not nearly loud enough to have been fired up on the cliff. It came from down on the beach, and that can mean only one thing. Jonas is dead. And my life is over. I slip down to my knees, and for a moment I’m completely limp, unable to move. Out of the corner of my eye, I see one of Connor’s men charge toward me, and it’s only at the last moment I regain enough presence of mind to whirl around and hit the man in the stomach. He goes down with a grunt of pain, and I jump up to stand over him, my mind still ringing with the sound of the gunshot on the beach. Dear Goddess, I did not tell him often enough that I love him.

  • An Alpha for the Alpha   A witch

    *Jonas* Once on the beach, I realize that the channel waters are not as calm as I thought… and it isn't the wind that provides the turbulence. A small boat I recognize as Connor's is moored close to shore, and the soft crunch of sand under my feet soon proves that we are not alone on the beach. "Where the bloody hell have you been?" I whirl around and blink in surprise. The voice sounds as if it belongs to a large, burly sort of fellow, but the man who has just stepped into a shaft of moonlight is slender and disturbingly elegant. Cana is crowning in my head. Connor jerks his head toward the boat and begins wading out into the water, dragging me along with him. "I was unavoidably detained." The other man peruses me rudely. "He's quite fetching, but hardly unavoidable." "Not so fetching," Connor says derisively, "but quite married to a rogue who has been annoying me, he works for getting him here so I can finish him off." I gasp and stumble to my knees, soaking my pants. I stag

  • An Alpha for the Alpha   How to handle it

    *Jonas* I squint at the horizon, but in the dark haze of night I can see nothing. This doesn’t surprise me. Typhon and Fire Moon would never be so stupid as to use a lantern. They’re probably hidden behind a rock or shrub, using the faint moonlight to spy on the activities on the shore below. "I don’t see anything," I say to Connor. "You must be mistaken." "Really think I’m an idiot, don’t you?" he replies, his tone sharp. I ponder that. "No, not an idiot. Many other things, but not an idiot." Cana shifts inside me, her bright eyes glinting with mischief. ‘You know what they say about idiots, right? They often have a gun pointed at their backs.’ I feel myself suppressing a smile. ‘Thanks for the encouragement, Cana.’ ‘Anytime, Jonas. But honestly, if this idiot thinks he can push us around, he’s got another thing coming.’ "Your husband," Connor says, pointing ahead, "is hiding among those trees." "Perhaps we ought to alert him to our presence?" I ask hopefully, my heart raci

  • An Alpha for the Alpha   Protector

    *Typhon* Something’s wrong. I feel it in my bones. "Where is he?" I hiss, the urgency gnawing at my gut like a ravenous wolf. Fire Moon shakes her head, her usually sharp gaze now clouded with concern. She pulls out her pocket watch, the ticking sound echoing in the tense silence. "I don’t know. The boat arrived an hour ago. Connor should have been here to meet them." I curse under my breath, frustration bubbling up like a storm at sea. "Jonas told me that Connor is always punctual." "Could he know that he knows we are on to him?" she suggests, her voice a whisper edged with disbelief. "Impossible." I lift my telescope to my eye, focusing on the beach. A small boat has dropped anchor about twenty yards out to sea. There isn’t much of a crew… so far, we’ve only spotted two men on deck. One of them clutches a pocket watch, checking it at frequent intervals. Cerberus, lurking in the shadows of my mind, growls low, a rumbling sound that vibrates through me. ‘You’re letting this
