ZEPHYR.

"What do you mean she was taken?" I hissed dangerously into the phone, nearly destroying my newly acquired Vivo X200 Pro. "Turn the car around. Now." I barked out at Anthony.

I'd already had a delay at the office, thanks to the mole, Joan. Of all people, it had to be her.

Handling the betrayal had pushed back my flight to New York, forcing me to deal with protocols and cleanup. By the time everything was settled, it was already the afternoon. I was almost at the airport when the call came through.

Alexei was dead.

Celine was unconscious in the hospital.

And Lyla… Lyla was gone.

We arrived at the scene where Troy and Garrett stood beside the wrecked Jeep. Alexei's body was covered with a tarp.

They had managed to keep the local police out of it, using the connections I had in the force. Since this was wolf business, it had been easier to handle.

The attack had happened on a quiet street, and the humans had done what they did best... stayed indoors, keeping their door

  • BRIDE OF WRATH    One Grind at a Time

    LYLA Zephyr looked intoxicated. His eyes were half closed as they stared at my lips. "We can't," he said softly, touching my face, but his eyes told a different story, as well as the hardness poking my thighs. "You're still healing," he said. "I don't want to do anything that will make it worse." He wasn't wrong. My ribs were still sore, and the occasional headache reminded me I wasn't fully back to myself. It could get too much for me. But I was too turned on to just let the moment pass. "We don't have to have sex," I said, pressing a kiss to his neck. He tensed even further, beneath me. "Not like you were going to anyway," I added under my breath. "You always stop." "It's not what you think," he replied gently. "I do want to have sex with you." A pause. "Just not right now." "Your dick says otherwise" I stated, glancing down and shifting on him deliberately. He twitched beneath me. Zephyr smiled lazily, cocking his head. "Can't help it" He oozed such careless sexiness, h

  • BRIDE OF WRATH    Sky, Space and Her

    ZEPHYRI took time off work to be with Lyla. After what happened last time, I couldn't bear the thought of leaving her alone, especially not when she was still recovering.She was healing fine, her bruises had started to fade, and the purple around her eye was almost gone. The ribs were still sore, but they were better than before."Zephyr, seriously, I can walk just fine," she argued, her hands wrapping around my neck as I lifted her, the picnic basket slung over my arm. I had planned a small picnic on the far side of the estate. I wanted her to see the open space, to get some fresh air, and just be outside, taking in nature.The fresh air would do her good.I didn't want her walking that distance, and it seemed pointless to drive when I could carry her."You seem perfectly content with me carrying you, though," I teased, catching her inhaling the scent of my cologne as she snuggled into my chest.She looked up at me with a frown, pursing her lip. "I can walk. I'm healing just fine!

  • BRIDE OF WRATH    The Calm after the Storm

    LYLA I woke up in Zephyr's bed. In his clothes. A large T-shirt that drowned my form, stopping just at my knees. Groggily, I sat up, eager to rise, as if standing would confirm that I wasn't dreaming. That I had really been rescued from Darrin. I threw back the covers and tried to get to my feet, steadying myself with one hand on the bed as the room swam for a moment. Once I'd balanced, I raised the T-shirt. Underneath it, my ribs were heavily bandaged, my left arm too, still aching, but no longer bleeding. I raised a shaky hand to the swelling on my forehead. It had gone down a bit, but it still throbbed like a bastard. Every inch of me hurt. Being Darrin's captive had been a nightmare, and I knew the PTSD would haunt me for a long while. The dreams would come. The memories. The triggers. Limping over to the full-length mirror, I stared at the pathetic reflection of myself. My face was bruised in all sorts of places. My bottom lip, dry, cracked, and split. My left eye, fa

  • BRIDE OF WRATH    Roar of the Beast

    LYLA I never thought a time would exist where I'd beg for death so desperately. Yet here I was… pleading for it.Anything would be better than this. I'd spent about seventeen hours in this hellhole, but it felt like I'd been suffering for ages. Darrin was ruthless. He would torture me till I reached breaking point, and just when I thought I could endure the agony no longer and death seemed near, he would stop and allow me to rest. The men who had left earlier to track down Troy and Maxim's son had returned empty-handed. Now, they waited for Christina's call. Maxim had been gawking at me for a while, like at any moment, he'd grab me, bolt, call Troy, and tell him he had me, demanding he hand him back his son. If manifestations worked, the thought would've manifested into reality already. I sat on the cold ground, struggling to hold myself upright. It was a miracle I was still alive, my mind and body ravaged with bruises and injuries of all sorts. Darrin's sneer snapped me t

  • BRIDE OF WRATH    An Alpha's Prayer

    ZEPHYR I hadn't slept all night. It was impossible to rest when your rival had abducted the woman you cared about. Troy had secured the boy in a safe location, but I'd told him not to reveal where. The less I knew, the better. For now. He'd checked in to confirm Lyla was still alive. That knowledge brought me some relief, no matter how fleeting. I could only truly be at rest when she was safe in my arms. Maxim had been silent. Troy said if he didn't get a response in the next half hour, he'd send another video of the boy being "tortured." Well, not real torture, just something convincing enough to make Maxim cave in. They were undoubtedly searching for him, but Troy had chosen a hiding place they wouldn't think to check. I trusted his judgment. The morning wore on. I sat in the living room, restless, waiting for a call from Troy. Or Darrin. Or Maxim, when the doors opened and Christina strutted in. "Oh, Zeph," she said softly, giving her bag to a maid before moving in my

  • BRIDE OF WRATH    Whisperings of Death

    "Why the fuck is she still alive?" Christina snapped. Her glare was directed at Darrin. Of course, she had a hand in this. Why hadn't I thought of it sooner? I scoffed, lifting my head despite how excruciating the action was. "You." She smirked, looking down to meet my gaze. "Yes. Me. You don't look so good, honey." The mocking tone made my blood boil. "You really thought I'd just sit back and let you get engaged to Zephyr when I could stop it?" She questioned rhetorically.My hands itched to wipe that look off her face, to dig my nails into her perfect skin and make her feel even a fraction of the pain I was in. But the ropes binding me made sure I couldn't. My wrists were on fire, the skin raw and torn from hours of struggling. The rough fibers of the rope ate into my flesh, digging deeper each time I so much as flexed my fingers. "How'd you even know about the engagement? No one said anything about it." I demanded. Christina rolled her eyes like I was a child failing a si
