Rose “So it’s decided, then,” Cody said, looking up from his paperwork. “Rose will stay on the Wyoming assignment, and we’ll replace Liam with Jason.” I sighed in relief, thankful that Liam’s protest that he and I were not the best team was heard. Lya nodded in agreement. “Liam and I as backup if need be.” “No,” Cody huffed. “We just said Liam and I as backup. You’re luna and alpha of the packs involved in this - you direct the fray, not get involved.” Oliver reached out to squeeze her thigh. “If it becomes more than a recon mission, then we go. You know you’ll be needed at his trial so we can’t risk you on the field.” Lya rolled her eyes, sitting back with her arms crossed. The little rogue Liam had brought back slept for three full days. I had been told to stay instead of returning to my position - Lya wanted her friends around to plan the luna ceremony - but Lya had either been training or by Danica’s side so not much planning had happened. When Danica had woken up and f
Chase. Mr. Brightside
Liam The guys had somehow roped me into going out with them. I’d say I wasn’t sure how that happened, but I knew the exact reason. Rose would be there. I couldn’t say no, even though I knew I had no chance of going home with someone. Alo sent images through my mind of what she could possibly look like all decked out, but none of them seemed right. She wasn’t frilly, she wasn’t edgy, I’d say she’d go for something modest but her stunt the other night had me questioning her innocence. The images I liked the best, though, were the ones that didn’t involve a dress at all. I knew she was getting ready with the other girls in the packhouse because I could feel her proximity. I knew she was nervous because I could feel the jitters along my skin. I knew she was thinking about me because I was hard. Or maybe I was just thinking about her. The guys were not wasting their summer, spending as much time out on the patio as they could. I imagined once winter hit this South Dakota town, th
Chase. Girl
Rose Jade had met her mate last night. Given everything she had to say about him and what they did, I wasn’t exactly certain how she had untangled herself from the sheets long enough to find her way dress shopping for Lya’s luna ceremony with us. He sounded lovely, though. A career warrior here, but had recently made the switch over to Cyber. I had met him before, Daniel, but didn’t have much of an opinion of him, what with him finishing up his training as I was just starting. He had been stationed in the southernmost town of the pack until he made his transition over to Cyber. “He’s just dreamy,” Jade sighed. “I am so excited I had already agreed to accept a position here. Otherwise I’d have to enroll in the training program or something,” she giggled. Lya and Anna tittered on about Jade’s newfound mate with her while I just tried to avoid any and all conversations about mates. Something about salt in the wound. I had lost count of how many dresses Lya had tried on. Each one
Chase. Midnight Train
Liam The pang that rung through my chest nearly brought me to my knees. A bitter taste soured my tongue, causing me to gag. ‘What is this?’ I demanded of Alo, wracking my brain for every illness that could hit a wolf like this. ‘That’s heartbreak,’ he said in a somber tone. I could feel him trying to push away from me, sending reassurance and comfort to his mate. Rose’s wolf had to be feeling it just as strongly if it was hitting us this hard. ‘Why?’ I growled, trying to rein my wolf back in. I didn’t need the two wolves forming any more of a connection than they had already. Alo didn’t respond, and rightfully so. He had more pressing matters. They should have been just as important to me, but the idea that the best thing for Rose was to be as far away from me as possible permeated all thoughts I had of trying to fix the bond. She would undoubtedly be good for me, but I wouldn’t be good for her. And because of that, we would destroy each other. Again, I never wanted a mate.
Chase. Rosa Dear
Rose I felt him before I saw him. I took too long to make a run for it, consumed by the soothing scent of a bonfire to make my escape. I turned slowly as my skin blazed. He took a step toward me. I was against the kitchen counter, though, with nowhere to go. “My bunny doesn’t run anymore.” His voice stoked on the embers quickly consuming me. I struggled to breath, the fire sapping all the oxygen out of the room. Why had I always thought proof of mate bonds were sparks, when this one was flames that would destroy you? Maybe it was a sign that this bond wasn’t right. But the mate bond was always right, wasn’t that what Lya said? “What do you want, Liam?” He reached out and snagged a strand of my hair, studying it closely. “Just to talk.” I huffed. “Then talk.” Finally, Liam looked up to me. “Alone.” He turned, walking out of the kitchen. His grasp around my wrist left me no option but to follow. To be honest, though, I would have followed him to the ends of the earth with
Chase. Creep
Liam We ran, enjoying the chase. Enjoying being chased. Part of me thought Alo was trying to run away from me. We fought for control, but Alo slowly conceded as he realized I was enjoying this as much as he was. I hated to admit it, but I adored my bunny. I would gather the stars from the sky for her if she just gave the slightest inclination that was what she wanted. And that was exactly why this needed to end. But I was selfish. She was faster than us, so soon enough we were chasing her. Trying to keep up with her, rather. We were out of her territory when Alo finally caught up with her. Alo stood at the edge of the clearing for a moment, watching his mate in her human form. He didn’t complain when I pushed forward and asked for control, though. I laid down beside her naked form, not even trying to hold up the walls I had previously tried to keep so firmly intact and in place. It took but a fleeting moment to realize this was all I ever wanted. “I’m a Wulver, Rose,” I
Chase. Bad Religion
Rose I took my time making my way to the training grounds. I was so hurt, and I needed to blow off some steam. I was a scout, I didn’t need to clock as many training hours as my warrior counterparts did, but since meeting Liam, I had been keeping up with the warriors on the training field. My scouting skills were sharp enough to warrant me graduating a year early, so I figured I could take a week or so focusing more on combat. I worked in with a group from my graduating class, alternating between offense and defense. As a scout, my combat training was primarily in defensive maneuvers, but if things kept going this poorly with my mate, I was certain my offensive fighting would be up to snuff enough to be dual trained. “Rose!” Cody called across the field, pulling my attention away from the fight I was watching. I made my way over to him. “Yes, Gamma?” He was on the clock, he was Gamma right now. “You looking to make a career change or something?” he chuckled. “You’ve been out h
Chase. Young Girl
Liam I didn’t even look down at my little mate as she flitted out of Cody’s office and I marched in. I bit back the discomfort at her being in a room behind a closed door with him. I was quick to remind myself that he was my friend and her superior. I could trust him with her. Alo was still unsettled, though. I found Cody perched on the edge of his couch, Woodford in hand, a small smile flitting across his face. I grabbed for the bottle and a glass, plonking down in the spot I could tell Rose had just been sitting. “Did you lose your wolf when you rejected Ellie?” I demanded. Cody looked up at me, shock etched across his face. “What? No. You’ve seen me shift since then.” I nodded, a bit of relief sweeping over me. Sometimes, rejection was the thing you were supposed to do with a mate bond, it seemed. “That’s the second time I’ve been asked that today. What’s going on?” he asked. I shrugged my shoulders, having no idea why someone else would have asked him such a question.
