I ran away with my new husband, Keith, chasing something—adventure, maybe, or just a way out of my dead-end town. He promised Vegas, bright lights, and fortune. Said he’d win big at the Moon Crescent Casino. I went along for the ride, naively thinking this was the start of something new. Instead, Keith lost everything. And I mean everything. And his genius solution? He sold me. To pay off his gambling debt, he handed me over like property—to a pack. Not just one man, but three. Wolves, apparently. Dangerous, intense... and off-the-charts gorgeous. Husk is tall, dark, and terrifyingly silent. When he does smile, it looks like it hurts him—and frankly, it gives me nightmares. Winter, with his pale hair and soft eyes, is gentle… on the surface. But there’s something immense in him, some power pulsing under his skin, like he could take control of my very soul. Then there’s Sky—moody, brooding, unreadable. He shifts between warm and cold so fast I get whiplash. They tell me I have to stay with them at the casino for thirty days. Just thirty days, and the debt is paid. Sounds simple, right? Except nothing about this is simple. And I know there’s a catch. So, I run. Only to find out—they need me. Not for money. Not just for fun. For something deeper. Something... ancient. Suddenly, I’m not the girl people overlook. I’m not the small-town girl with a too-big heart and nowhere to put it. I’m the key to something much bigger, something magical. And maybe, just maybe, these wolves aren’t my captors… they’re my future. I left to escape. But it turns out, what I needed most was exactly what I tried to leave behind.
view moreFaguaThe sound of glass shattering and a body hitting the floor caused my heart to jump into my throat. I didn’t hesitate. I ran into the kitchen"Husk!" He was lying on the floor with the refrigerator door wide open.I knelt next to him, and my hand trembled as I reached out to check his pulse. His shallow breathing calmed me a fraction. But why had he passed out? He had an injury on his shoulder, but wolves healed quickly."What's going on here?" Winter said from the doorway. "It looks like a tornado hit this place.""It's Husk. He's unconscious," I called out, not wanting to leave his side.Winter and Sky rushed into the kitchen. The panicked looks on their faces made my chest tighten."What happened?" Winter demanded."I have no idea," I said. "I mean, he was fine earlier when he was fighting the wolves and then I found him like this.""Is he breathing?" Sky knelt next to me and his magic swirled around us."He's breathing. I can feel his pulse too. And he's warm." My fingers to
HuskThe whole damn place smelled of fucking sex. My nose wrinkled in disgust, and I kicked off my boots. At least Fagua had learned to control her magic enough not to bring the place down on top of us. Or maybe my brothers weren't as good as they could be at making her orgasm. I snorted. I could outpace both of them.Giggles sounded from the kitchen, and I debated skipping dinner and going straight to bed. Though I probably needed to pick up some earplugs to drown out their all-night fucking parties. My wolf whined within my chest, wanting her as our mate. Stupid wolf didn't know better.I ignored him and plodded down the hallway toward the kitchen, grumbling under my breath about horny fucking wolves and their insatiable appetites.In the kitchen, Fagua dropped balls of chocolate-chip cookie dough onto a greased baking pan while Winter stirred a thick, spicy-smelling pasta sauce. Sky chopped the jalapeno sausage."Husk, you're back," Sky said, waving the knife at me. "Where have yo
Sky“It is so good to be home,” I stretched out on the pool float with a beer in one hand and my shades in place.“Don’t let it go to your head,” Winter chided from the patio door. “It’s your turn to do all the dishes after dinner.”I waved him off as Fagua slid into the pool wearing a red bikini. I tried not to stare at her. She and Winter had made up. Listening to them last night was nearly too much for me. Husk had stormed out being his usual stubborn self and hadn’t returned all day. He’d probably slink back in when dinner was ready in an hour or so.“By the way,” I said, lowering my sunglasses as she swam over to me, “I don’t think I ever thanked you for healing me. Without you, I would’ve died.”“I was happy to help. And you saved me, too. I’d still be stuck at home with my Pa if not for you.” She tilted her head to the side and gave me a teasing smile. “So when do you think your powers will come back?”“Not sure.” I was still weaker than I’d liked from my hospital stay. “Why, y
FaguaI felt like my soul was being ripped from me piece by piece. And I didn’t know if I'd gotten rabies from the damn wolf bites because I’d only had time to dose with peroxide on my mad dash here or if it was something worse.All my insides felt like they were on fire and someone had thrown gasoline on them.I wanted to scream, but I couldn’t. I was frozen in place. Frozen in this never-ending nightmare as my life was being leached out of me. My whole body shook, and I couldn't pull away. God, I thought I was dying right along with Sky. And I felt Winter and Husk's presence with me. Were they being affected too? I didn't have the strength to lift my head or even open my eyes to find out. I trembled as wave after wave of searing pain drowned me.A cool wind blew against my face, and I felt Sky's playfulness dancing in the room.He took a huge breath and whatever power holding me snapped like a rubber band. "Wow, now that was a wild ride.""Sky," I choked, tears streaming down my fac
HuskMy knuckles bled and were sore from punching the brick wall outside the hospital. And I still didn’t feel any better. Upstairs, Sky was hooked up to more machines than I’d ever seen in one room before. He was fighting for his life while I walked around and doing whatever I wanted.And Winter... I clenched my fists, fighting the urge to return outside and punch the bricks again. Well, he’d screwed our brother over for her, a flighty woman who’d fled at the first chance she got. She wasn’t my mate, no matter what Winter or Sky or anyone else bloody thought. My mate wouldn't have left; she’d have fought.Sky was in a coma and Doc didn’t think he’ll come out of it. I didn’t get to tell him goodbye. Or that he’d made me proud to be his older brother. Tears burned the back of my eyes and I grumbled as the elevator took too damn long to open.This morning Doc planned taking Sky off life support. Said he’d been on it too long and we’re just prolonging his pain. Doc and Winter’s words, no
WinterSky's heart monitor blared an alarm, and I jumped. His breathing had stopped."What's happening to him?" I rushed to his hospital bed."I don't know." Doc placed grabbed the defibrillator pads and amped up the power. He placed them on Sky's chest. "Clear." The machine buzzed. Electricity arched through my brother's body, and his back bowed.The machine showed a straight line on the screen."Again."My stomach clenched as I watched the doctor and nurses try to bring my brother back. This was all my fault. I had known Sky was sick, but not this badly. After I'd gotten the first message from Husk about he and our brother hanging out in town, I didn't question. I was too busy enjoying my time with Fagua and had never checked my phone again until she disappeared.Now my brother is dead because of it.I leaned against the wall, feeling like I was going to be sick while they used the paddles two more times.A faint beep made the breath lodged in my chest loosen. Another beep sounded.
