Everywhere I'd Hide!I stuck his blade in the waist of my dress and fled back toward camp.“Really, Sam?” He called after me. “Do you honestly think you’re going to get away from me?”Really, Jaecar. You bastard.He tossed his arms. “I’m a Border Guard! I hunt down intruders all night. Most nights.”“I’m not an intruder!” I tossed over my shoulder. Not slowing my pace.My animosity growing with each step. The mere fact that I was fleeing someone I had considered myself so close to was not lost on me.He wasn’t moving.Probably thinking he’ll catch up to me easily enough.He’s underestimated me. I thought. Confidence beginning to surge.You’re just like them afterall, Jaecar!Perhaps someone would’ve thought it was silly that I would flee the one man I trusted from our camp when he offered to be my mate.But that person clearly didn’t understand the nature of the Asara males.Being collected by the former alpha meant they were the most aggressive, most ferocious of any wolves out there
Ravenous MalesHe pinned one of my forearms under each of his knees. His weight making his bone press into the soft tissues of my arm.Ouch!“You’re not tying me up, Jaecar!” I screamed louder this time. A panicked note touching my voice as I tried to buck my hips enough to free myself.“The Hell I’m not.” He muttered. Balancing as he straddled my waist. Untwisting the rope, he pulled his dagger from the tie at my waist. Cutting the rope into four chunks, he laid them out next to us, ominously. Before staring at me as he purposefully shoving it back in his hip scabbard.Angry I’d stolen it to begin with. I didn’t feel bad since I’d stolen it in order to save myself. No remorse to be had there!“Jaecar!” I pleaded. “This is me we’re talking about. You and I have been friends forever!”Have you lost your mind?“Yes. And now we’re going to be more. Much more.” He asserted.“You don’t want to mate with me!” I cried. “This is insanity.”Why is he pushing this now?What’s happened?He pause
Wait QuietlyJaecar’s light green eyes appeared in my line of vision.I cast him a last pleading look. Willing him to suddenly have a change of heart and let me go.“Wait for me.” He said. Urging, “Quietly.”My lips twitched in contempt as I glared at him. The Hell I will!“Remember, if you scream, if you struggle, the pack will hear you.”And they’ll all want to mate. I knew it without him having to say it. I deflated a little at the thought. And my struggling could make me sweat which would only carry my hormone better in the wind.Filling this whole tree with my smell. I grimaced.“I have to go to the Pack Meeting and then I’ll be back for you.”I’ll figure out a way to escape him by then. I reassured myself. Studying me a minute and seeing that I understood he gave a satisfied nod and turned stiffly.Thankful for the reprieve, I blew a long breath and my body relaxed. He’s gone.For a while. A niggling little voice corrected.What a fantastic day this is turning out to be!I knew
TEASERWhen I fully woke, it was too Jaecar cinching a rope around my ankle. Startling me.I tugged at my bound wrists and felt something digging into my hips. And my hair was in my face.It took me a moment to realize I was tied face down over the back of a wooden chair. I tried to move and figured out my ankles were each bound to a chair leg. I was tipped over the back of the chair, so it dug into my stomach. Each of my wrists tied to a front leg of the chair.I tried to move but every pull tugged at something else. Yanking my arms strained my ankles and vice versa. The ropes were so tight, they bit into my skin.I was stunned, realizing the diligence and care Jaecar must’ve used, to so carefully bind me while I was in my exhausted coma.What’s he going to do now?“Good. You’re awake.” I heard Jaecar’s voice from behind me and had to lean to look around my own leg to see him walking to sit by the wall. Sliding down it to meet my gaze across the room. Crossing his boots at the ankles

Catching him as he was rising from bathing in the river.“Sam…” He sighed. Frowning and I realized he was undressed and coming out of the water. It was already revealing his glistening dark skin down the deep lines of his muscled hip bones.“Oh, sorry.” I turned my back and heard the grass rustling behind me as he swept up his shirt.“What is it, Sam?”“There’s something going on in the Camp.”“What?” His tone grew serious.The Border Guard voice. I’d heard him use it before when there were intruders at the wall surrounding the Asara territory.“Lyra Lani told me.”“How does she always know everything?” Jaecar murmured as he stepped next to me. His black hair wa
Eve Before the Mating MoonJaecar was ordered to join the males next to the fire in the camp the eve before the Mating Moon. The males discussed what females they planned to hunt, knowing their lustful need to mate would rise to insane heights tomorrow.Already they were making crude remarks, their blood heating. And there’d been several short spars already. Mostly between the Hayden brothers who seemed to be forever antagonizing each other.All of them discussing how they’d mate Vanna Rae first than getting in a shoving match before they all agreed they’d share her as they did all things. From the spoils of battles to the food Hunter found for them to the woman they all wanted to mate.Jaecar shook his head at them. Somewhat disdainful of how heated their blood had already became.Even Draven was quiet. Watching beyond the camp with a predatory gaze.Jaecar twisted to see what woman his gaze followed, though he had little need to check his suspicion…Lyra Lani was creeping beyond the
Nearly UndoneJaecar paused outside the massive door that looked like something blocking the way to a dungeon. He lifted his fist and hesitated. Wondering what he could possibly say to her.The door cracked and there was a series of chains that Samantha peered through. Her look going from accusing to surprised.“Jaecar?”He blinked at her.“Just a minute.” She closed the door, and he heard all the chains unbolting. Dread swirling through him. Knowing that if he mated her tomorrow, it would be far too easily done because of her trust in him.Trust he’d have to shatter to possess her. He swallowed a bit of bile at the thought.She opened the door. “Jaecar? You’ve never come to my hut except to reinforce it. Is that why you’re here…”Clearly, she sensed he’d not have come so late at night, the eve before the Mating Moon for such a thing.“Jaecar?” She gave him a quizzical look at his prolonged silence. Finally, she opened the door widely. “Come in.”He ducked his head and obediently ente
A TasteSamantha had shrugged. Having no idea why he did.Tossing her black hair defiantly, Aloira slinked away.Samantha had rubbed her neck and gone to the river to wash the other girl’s sticky fingerprints off.But Jaecar had waited near a tree by camp and when Aloira passed it, he caught her by the throat and rounded to slam her against a tree.Her brown eyes were huge, and she clawed at his large brown hand. Gagging against her compressed trachea.“I thought you and I had an arrangement. But it appears you not when to leave well enough alone.”He released her abruptly and let her slide down the trunk.“I’m sorry, Jaecar.” She bowed her head and backed up from him. A submissive pose it wouldn’t occur to Samantha to assume.“Know that any touch you put on her will be thrice times as done unto you.”“I understand.” Keeping her eyes averted she rounded and scampered off to her hut. Ashamed of having been caught taunting the other female.The youngest of the pack.“Jaecar?” Samantha’s
