Isobel hummed quietly to herself while she sketched the conifers trees with the mountain behind them. The scene was captivating with the bright green of the trees and the blue-black of the mountain range. The beauty of Colorado in the spring was another reason she knew that she could paint again. Leaning back on the camping chair, she glanced at the clear pale-blue sky. A shy smile on her face as she thought about Kyle and the soft kisses he’s given her. If she wasn’t so scared of how he would react when he saw the scars, she would be bolder with him. Try to see where deep, hard kisses would lead.

She blew out a breath and turned her attention back to the sketch. A rustling sound made her glance up. Isobel reared back so fast that her camping chair toppled over on the side. She peeked up at the growling grizzly bear, menacingly baring its teeth at her. Isobel whimpered, curling her legs to make herself as small as she could. Panting, she closed her eyes, hoping that the bear would los

    The dim lighting inside the Seattle art gallery cast a warm glow on the walls, illuminating the colorful paintings and sculptures on display. The attendees, dressed in their finest attire, admired the art with awe and wonder, their eyes scanning every detail. The faint smell of paint and pastels blended with the gallery’s snack table, which offered a selection of artisanal cheeses and crackers, and a range of red and white wines for guests to sip on. The hardwood floors creaked under the weight of people’s footsteps as they wandered from one piece to the next. A cool breeze from the open door when someone entered carried a slight chill, causing Isobel to wrap her lightweight scarf tighter around her neck.“Your dad keeps sending death glares at me,” Kyle muttered, his lips close to her ear, sending a shiver that wasn’t caused by the chilled air down her spine.“Do you blame him? We arrived this week with the news that we are getting

    Isobel awoke with an inhale. The lingering nightmare of blood and gore and a floating head without a body still at the forefront of her mind when her eyes blinked open.She tried to move, but heaviness on her lower limbs kept her still on the bed. Glancing down, she saw Kyle napping, his head resting on her stomach, his hand splayed on it.Her fingers gently raked through his dark brown hair. “Babe, wake up.” Her fingers trailed down to his face, which looked peaceful and boyish, betraying the fact that he turned into a deadly wolf.“Kyle, wake up.”The image of his wolf clenching Laura’s head in its mouth made her voice loud and edged with fear, her hand falling away from his face.Kyle’s head slightly lifted as he blinked away his sleep. “Wha—? Hey, what’s wrong?” he asked, his voice husky with sleep.“Nothing. I need to pee. And you are too heavy to move.”He s

    Kyle growled low in his throat at seeing his heart being threatened by Laura, and made the one in his chest beat fast and hard, making it difficult to breathe. But he had to keep his wits about him to save his love.His life.He quickly changed to his human form; his muscles tightened and bulged in preparation to move and tear Laura’s throat apart. “Don’t you dare hurt her,” he snarled, baring his teeth.Laura tsked. “This puny human? I can’t promise that.”Kyle took two steps, his lips pulled back in a snarl, Isobel’s whimper stopped him and he saw that Laura had pressed her nail deeper into Isobel’s neck, drawing blood.“I’ll stop right there if I were you. You don’t want me to cut her throat, now do you?” Laura said flippantly.Kyle’s jaw clenched as he growled. “What do you want? Why can’t you and your father leave us alone?”

    Kyle squatted down to chip away at the wood on the curve of the moon shaped baby crib. His gloved fingers grazed at the star cut out in the side of the crib.“Good morning Nick,” he said, before swirling on his feet to face Nick, who was stepping on the driveway toward the garage workshop.Nick smirked. “Already making the crib?”Kyle gave him a lopsided grin. “I wanted to get the crib finished before we head to Seattle.”Nick leaned his hip against Kyle’s woodworking station and crossed his arms. “So, you are really leaving?”Kyle’s grin broadened. “Yep. Where my mate goes, I go.”Nick’s eyebrows furrowed. “Do you think that now you’ve found your fated mate, that the decades long absence of fated mates has ended?”Kyle stood from his crouched position and placed his spoke shove tool on the workbench. He removed his work gloves, his mind se

    “Kyle? What is this? What mating agreement?” Isobel asked, a bewildered look on her face.Greyston stood from the couch, glaring at his son.“You haven’t told her?”His body trembling with rage, Kyle read the note again.“Where’d you get this?” He held up the note to his father, choosing to ignore his question.Greyston huffed with annoyance, but answered. “It was found pinned to a tree by the border of our territory.”The hairs on his arms and the back of his neck thickened into fur, his eyes glowing golden. “Alpha Danvers has the nerve to threaten my mate?!”His voice was guttural and animalistic, as if he was barely holding on to his human side.His father took a few paces to him. “Kyle, calm down. Your anger doesn’t help us right now.”Kyle growled at his father, his golden glow deepening.“Kyle? Your anger is clouding my mind,” Isobel whispered, her hand planted on the wall, looking woozy on her legs.Seeing her so stressed made Kyle’s anger ebb away into worry. Moving closer to

    “Good morning, my love,” Kyle said, yawning. He was shirtless, wearing flannel sleep pants that hung low around his hips, showing off his v-line and a delicious streak of dark brown hair that disappeared under his pants. His broad shoulders, corded abs, and wide chest spattered with dark hair were all on show as he stretched. “What are you smiling at?” he asked, as he ambled to the wooden kitchen table at her grandfather’s cabin and settled his elbows on it, resting his chin on his palms.“Oh, just a text from a friend,” Isobel answered, her concentration still on the phone. Her hips leaned against the table, her fingers scrolling on the phone.A low growl trembled from his chest. “A friend? What friend?”Isobel glanced away from the phone, rolling her eyes. “A growl? Really Kyle? It’s from my best friend, Loucilla. We call her Lou. We met in college. She’s been checking on me since I’ve been here.”A pink blush coated his cheeks. “Oh. You’ve never mentioned any friends since I’ve kn
