MasukI threw the papers across the room and slammed my fists on my desk, unable to contain my irritation at their brazen disrespect.I’m going to tell them where they can stick their treaty, my wolf Leonidas growled, echoing my anger.Good idea. I grabbed my phone and dialed the number for the Black Diamond Pack.“Hello?” a female voice said on the other line.I took a deep breath. I wasn’t sure who this she-wolf was, but she didn’t deserve my anger. That should be saved for their leader. “I need to speak with Caspian McCloud,” I managed to say as calmly as possible.“Who?” the voice asked, her tone going up slightly at the end in a sing-song manner. By the tone of her voice, I could tell she knew exactly who I meant. Like a parent trying to teach her pup manners, she was waiting for me to address her alpha properly.“Alpha Caspian McCloud,” I gritted out. “May I speak with him? Please.” I could use the correct words or a kind tone, but I could not manage both right now.“Yes, of course!”
- JeremyI had been awake since before dawn, as usual, and once again, I felt like I had barely made a dent in my work. After taking over as alpha from my father, I felt like I had been playing a never-ending game of catch-up. It wasn’t that he had mismanaged the pack necessarily, but he certainly hadn’t made it as strong or successful as he could have. As a father, he had been distant and aloof. I hadn’t realized until I became alpha that his mindset on parenting had applied to his ruling of the pack as well. He had isolated us from every other pack in the area, and now it was my job to mend fences.“All this wouldn’t have been necessary if Father had listened to my ideas a decade ago,” I muttered to myself, sifting through the pile of mail that had just been delivered to my office. “But no, he couldn’t be wrong about anything, could he?”“Talking to yourself again, brother?”The door to my office opened, and McKenna entered the room. My twin sister’s bright red hair bounced as she
Regardless of whether the pack agreed with the beta, I knew none of them were going to volunteer. I could smell their dislike and fear.You should go, Alessia told me. I hadn’t even noticed that she was paying attention to our meeting.Really? You think we should?Yes. You’ve been looking for a way to prove yourself, to show them who you really are. This is your chance, Amirah.“I’ll go,” I said. As soon as the words were out of my mouth, everyone in the room looked at me, and I could feel the color rising in my cheeks. My automatic response was to sink back into my chair and make myself smaller. I could feel the eyes of the men and women around the table sizing me up and passing judgment on my abilities.Ignore them, Alessia told me. We can do this. You know we can.I took a deep breath, sat up as straight as I could, and looked into Grace’s eyes. “Whatever you need me to do, I’ll do it. I want to help the pack however I can.”“Thank you for putting the needs of the pack ahead of you
BlurbHe destroyed me once. Now my entire pack expects me to become his mate.I was so desperate to prove I wasn’t the unwanted one that I unknowingly agreed to become his bride.I had no idea I’d be bound to the Alpha who ruined my innocence. And I definitely didn’t know my soft, curvy body would soon swell with his child…People mocked my shape for as long as I can remember, so I rebuilt myself piece by piece.But all my hard-won confidence crumbles the moment the past is thrown back at me—Especially when the Alpha who once broke me now insists my body belongs to him.Especially when my destined mate looks at me once and decides I’m his completely.I swore I no longer wanted him. Yet here I am, fighting, and losing, to resist his pull.My curves tremble whenever he’s close, betraying how badly they crave him. My body pleads for his hands, humiliating me with how much it wants him.And as my stomach grows round with his child, one question haunts me…Will the A
"We give you Alex Oliver McCloud!" Grace announced, lifting her newborn son high into the air for all the pack to see.Even Caspian joined the pack’s howling, not only to welcome his son but also to mark a job well done for his luna.And suddenly, all was right with the world.It was only when Grace started to speak again that Caspian truly realized how wise of a decision he’d made in choosing her for his luna."The Black Diamond pack is strong, stronger than ever!” Grace shouted. “With not one but two heirs, the Moonstone Pack will think twice before dealing with us again!"Her words echoed across the courtyard, and the other wolves raised their voices once more in agreement and appreciation for their luna.Feeling quite overwhelmed with attraction for her, Caspian sidled up to her and wrapped an arm around her waist. When he felt her lean heavily against him, he realized that all her talk and bravado was for the benefit of the pack. She was trembling heavily, and he sensed it was ta
“Come in!” Caspian called, though he wasn’t too pleased about being disturbed. After having werewolf midwives in attendance for most of the night, he had hoped for a little more peace and privacy.The door opened, and Austin stepped in with a cautious smile on his face. It was clear that he sensed Caspian’s annoyance. “Sorry to disturb you, but the pack is gathering for news.”Caspian growled deep in his throat, angry that they were already clamoring when Grace had only given birth a few hours ago. He was about to snap as much at his second, angry that he would even come to him with this announcement when this was his own sister, when Grace laid a gentle hand on his forearm.Surprised, he turned to look at her with a raised eyebrow.“Do not be angry with him,” she warned him with a smile. “The pack has waited a long time to be strong again.”Caspian growled again, though this time, it was at his own folly. He had spent the last few days unable to think of anything but Grace and the ba
