LOGIN"Ethan Carter rejects lots of she-wolves, but none of them try to hop off a roof like this. She must have a broken brain, right?""Who knows what alpha wolves do in secret? I just think she looks sad, and I feel bad for her wolf now!""There is a saying that crazy people do mean things. If I wanted to end my life, I wouldn't do it at a hockey team's office. Everyone is inside working right now! Does she have no pack manners?!"While the crowd chatters, the fire trucks speed to the ice rink. The firemen jump out of the trucks and get their safety nets ready.Up on the roof, Chloe Bennett makes a scary face and looks down at the little wolves below."It's done... everything is done..." she whispers to herself.Then, she takes a big leap and jumps off the roof!Over at the clinic, I have JESS inside for his checkup. While we wait for the results, JESS falls asleep in my arms. I send a text to Job and tell him to meet me at the clinic. Then, I look up at the big TV on the wall in the wait
COLLINS PARKER POV"Tyler is in a deep sleep. His inner wolf cannot wake up right now. I am at the clinic waiting for him to open his eyes.""Did you two go tracking Chloe Bennett? How did Tyler end up in this deep sleep?""Chloe Bennett kidnapped him yesterday in the ice arena. He was locked up in her team office for more than twenty-four hours, and his wolf went into a deep sleep.""What about Chloe Bennett?!""Nobody knows where she is right now. She ran away from the rink," Ethan Carter said."I already sent my pack warriors after her," my back broke into a cold sweat, and I started to doubt everything."What happened at JESS's school... does it have something to do with Chloe Bennett?!"Ethan Carter felt his chest get tight and barked into the phone, "Collins Parker! Stay right where you are! I am sending our pack enforcers to get you and the pups!"If I did not say it first, Ethan Carter would never think that Chloe Bennett could sneak back into the hockey territory of Charlotte
COLLINS PARKER POVAt exactly 9 p.m. that night watch, my body walks straight out of the private bathroom after executing a hot shower and drying the damp strands of my hair.The exact second my mobile terminal begins to ring loudly on top of the bed sheets, my boots stride over, and my fingers immediately swipe the screen to answer the line."What specific reason makes your person answer the phone terminal only now, Collins?"This was Ethan’s third consecutive attempt at dialing my coordinate number tonight."My physical frame was trapped inside the shower room," my tongue answers as my body takes a comfortable seat on the edge of the mattress. "Isabella stated her internal wolf heavily missed your presence when your alpha asset failed to march over to our den today. Does that data make your beast happy?"Ethan lets out a highly light, soft chuckle over the digital speaker network. "What about Mason’s status?""Mason has been returning to the den a little bit later than usual during
ETHAN CARTER POVMy internal wolf knows that if Tyler Dawson logs my alpha signature popping up on his mobile terminal, his fingers will absolutely click the screen to accept the signal.My chest tightens with absolute certainty that Tyler is trapped inside a highly dangerous layout on the territory!My boots pivot, intending to charge straight out of the corporate den to hunt down his coordinates, but the exact fraction of a second my muscles move, a short digital text alert vibrates across my palm from his specific device.[My tongue cannot engage in a voice call during this watch, Ethan.]My eyes scan the glowing screen, and my fingers immediately fire a rapid text response across the valley network: [What specific danger parameters are surrounding your body right now? Tracks your asset trapped inside a lethal trap?]Tyler’s terminal pings back a fast line: [My life tracks as completely safe from harm. Grant my station a little more block of calendar time. My boots will return to t
COLLINS PARKER POVThe very next sun cycle, Tyler Dawson arrives at the central train station inside Mysticfall and immediately hands Ethan and my formal wedding invitation straight into Chloe Bennett’s fingers.The moment Chloe’s hands pull the wedding paper open and her eyes log our two names alongside the official June 12 calendar date, her disfigured facial expression does not waver a single inch, but her knuckles turn incredibly pale and bloodless."What specific reason makes their lines transmit a formal invitation to my coordinates? Aren't their minds worried that my scarred face would violently scare the rest of the elite guests straight off the arena benches?" her tongue says, mocking her own hideous appearance with a bitter laugh before her hand tosses the wedding paper onto the metal table."Did your own claws operate as the mastermind behind the lethal hit that went down at Villa de Sierra, Chloe?" Tyler asks her straight to her face, dropping all diplomatic subtext."No,"
COLLINS PARKER POV"It tracks as totally difficult for little Isabella's frame to move her legs around smoothly inside such a massive, bulky winter dress layout on the ice," my tongue snaps fast, my internal wolf feeling a sudden surge of protective worry over our cub's physical training.My eyes lock directly onto his alpha pupils across the living room carpet as my mouth demands, "How can your asset keep giving in to the cubs' every whim like this? Would your station execute the exact same soft behavior if her internal wolf simply picked a random stranger wolf to marry on the circuit in the future winter cycles?"My spirit had to correct Ethan’s completely mistaken idea regarding a young cub's proper upbringing on the hockey territory.His boots had not even officially moved inside my private villa walls yet, but his alpha beast was already giving in to Isabella’s every tiny will on the floor.Would his soft leadership style not end up spoiling her character rotten after his frame p
"Adrian did not operate as a total idiot wolf. His brain possesses real self-awareness now," my thoughts hiss."I highly suspect your station does not track as his biological brother," my mouth growls through tightly gritted teeth. "If your veins carried the exact same bloodline, your tongue would
COLLINS PARKER POV"Ugh, my skull is throbbing with a massive headache. My mind holds absolute zero clues on how to drop this relationship update onto our little cubs the exact second our boots hit the home den."My face rests quietly against Ada Lube’s broad shoulder inside the front seat of the v
"My ears heard your office instructed your personal pilot to fly your luxury jet transport over the peaks last night watch. What? Is your system planning a fast escape run?" Ada asks in a deep, booming voice as his fingers hold the cigarette steady."What specific scenario would happen to my family
COLLINS PARKER POV"What is this woman doing inside my private bedroom space?!" my brain screams in absolute panic. My internal wolf feels exactly as if my skin just got zapped by a huge, hot electric current, and my mind wakes up completely from its groggy state.My body instantly sits up straight
