"Is he still in there?" Luke’s father, Ricardo, barked into the phone, his voice a jagged saw against Luke's ear.

"He's here," Luke said. He didn't look at Cass, who was huddled on the shared apartment sofa, but he felt the boy's flinch. "And he's staying."

"You listen to me, Lucas," Ricardo growled. "That boy is a Castillo. His father is the reason your uncle is in a wheelchair. Alejandro is a butcher. If you keep him there, you’re inviting a war into our territory. Throw him out. Now."

"No."

    "I’m more than just into you," Luke growled. He hooked a finger into the neckline of Cass’s heavy wool sweater, dragging it down until the pale curve of a shoulder emerged.His mouth followed the line of skin. Teeth grazed the junction of neck and collarbone. Cass gripped Luke’s head, hair thick and coarse under his palms, fingers digging into the dark stubble at the base of the Alpha’s skull."Well, I love you." Cass threw the words like a challenge. He wasn't losing this.Luke froze. His hot breath scorched Cass’s collarbone. He recoiled, eyes wide and glowing a sharp, predatory blue.Cass bit his lip. "I haven't said that before, have I?"Luke just stared. His chest heaved. The wolf behind his eyes paced."It's the truth." Cass let out a sharp breath. "It just came out. Too easy to be a lie."Luke sucked in air like he’d been underwater. "Holy shit." He pressed a fist against his mouth. "All these years. Since we were pups in the frost. I’ve dreamed about just saying hello. About c

    "I'm not just into you," Luke growled, his voice a low rumble that vibrated against the stone walls of the Navarro Ridge. He tugged the collar of Cass’s tunic down, baring the pale skin of his shoulder where the moonlight through the high windows turned it to silver.As Luke leaned in, his stubble grazing the sensitive skin he’d just uncovered, Cass buried his hands in Luke’s dark hair. His fingers traced the scalp where the Alpha’s hair was thick and wild, a stark contrast to the scars Luke carried from the territorial skirmishes of his youth."Well, I love you," Cass countered, his voice steady despite the way his heart hammered against his ribs. He wasn't going to let the Alpha win this round of their game.Luke froze. His hot breath feathered against Cass’s bare collarbone. He pulled back, his eyes—usually a sharp, piercing blue—blown wide with genuine shock.Cass bit his lip, the reality of his own words sinking in. "I guess that's the first time I've actually said the words, isn

    "What are you looking at?" Luke asked, leaning against the archway of the kitchen in the Navarro Ridge. He held up two pieces of a deer-heart jerky he’d been carving. "I finally managed to pull the marrow out without snapping the bone casing."Cass shifted on the sofa, looking up from the digital maps of the Pacific Coast territory. "You’re serious? Let me see that."Luke held the hollowed bones up to his eyes like goggles, peering at Cass through the white circles."No way." Cass laughed, dropping the maps. "You used a skinning knife, didn't you, Luke?""Maybe." Luke chuckled, dropping the jerky and sitting close enough that his scent—pine needles and frozen lake water—overwhelmed the room. "It’s the only way to get the center clean without the whole thing splintering.""You're ridiculous," Cass whispered. He grabbed the front of Luke’s thermal shirt and pulled him into a hard, lingering kiss.Luke tasted like salt and cold air. His tongue swiped against Cass’s, a silent claim that m

    "Get out."Lucas Navarro slammed his shoulder into the door frame, his massive frame blocking the entrance to the Navarro Ridge. He didn’t look at the hockey sticks leaning against the wall. He looked at Brandon Cole’s bleeding lip."She’s my mate, Lucas. You don’t get to decide who she talks to.""Not anymore." Cass Castillo stepped out from behind Luke, his eyes amber, his scent of pine and winter air spiking with adrenaline. "It’s over, Brandon. I saw you in the Blackwood Haunted Mansion. I saw you with the Omega from the other pack. Don't lie.""You—you're mistaken." Brandon tried to push forward, but Luke’s hand shot out, grabbing the front of Brandon's jersey."He said it’s over." Luke’s voice was a low vibration, the sound of a wolf moving for the kill. "Move your feet or I’ll move them for you.""What the hell is this?" Jax Mendoza shouted, coming down the hall of the Ridge. "Luke, why is the Captain of the Blackwood Pack bleeding on our floor?""He's leaving," Luke growled."

    "The silver-laced puck didn't just end my career, Cass. It was meant to end me."Luke slammed his hand against the frozen wood of the kitchen table in the Navarro Ridge. The ice-wolf’s knuckles were white, vibrating with a tremor he couldn't suppress."You're shaking," Cass said. He didn't move. He stood by the sink, the scent of pine and old blood clinging to the air of the fantasy realm they called home. "The healer said the silver was purged.""The metal is gone. The memory isn't." Luke stood, his massive frame casting a jagged shadow against the stone walls. "I watched Brandon Cole slide that laced disk across the ice. He smiled, Cass. He knew my wolf couldn't heal a heart-shot from silver.""He’s the Captain of the Blackwood Pack now," Cass said. "He took your spot on the ice. He took the glory.""He took everything!" Luke’s voice cracked into a growl. "He didn't just want the trophy. He wanted to see a Navarro crawl. And I did. I crawled off that rink while the stadium cheered f

    You aren't dead, Luke. You're just leaking."Cass dabbed a dark smear of blood from Luke’s forehead. The Alpha groaned, shifting on the rugged interior of the SUV as they sped away from the Pacific Medical ER. Forty-eight hours of sterile walls and beeping monitors had left them both raw. The surgical drain was gone, the hole in Luke’s skull stitched shut with jagged thread that looked like a spider crouching against his temple."I look like a Frankenstein reject," Luke rasped, his voice gravelly from the intubation. He tried to reach up, but Cass slapped his hand away."Don't touch. You’ll pull a stitch and then Victoria will actually murder me for letting you out of her sight."Luke leaned his head back against the seat, his eyes fluttering shut. "They shaved my head, Cass. I’m a Navarro. We don't do bald patches.""I can comb the rest over it. It’s fine." Cass lied. It wasn't fine. But seeing Luke alive, seeing the way his chest rose and fell with a steady rhythm, made the aestheti
