Twenty-Eight
Reese
I couldn’t speak in my wolf shape, but I thankfully didn’t need to. Jace was already on his feet when I blazed inside hot on Kyle’s heels after he’d dashed in without uttering another peep in explanation.
Jace asked the questions I couldn’t voice while I ran my eyes over the fresh injuries visible on the bear shifter’s naked skin, concurrently seeking out Scarlett with my searching gaze in the room beyond him as my ears took in their discussion.
“What’s going on?” He asked in a measured tone, but his calm demeanor had no effect on the younger male who was wound tighter than an eight-day clock after what he had observed.
“We have to go. Get everyone up.”
Kyle didn’t wait for Jace’s response, rather he started to rouse the wolves himself as he loudly stomped around the room in between the numerous bodies sprawled about, breathing heavy as he struggled to catch his breath.
“Stop.” Jace yanked the bear shifter back b

Reese It was a feat in and of itself to keep my brain from dwelling on Aaron’s untimely death. He was one of Jace’s males, and I knew he was beating himself up over what happened. Hell, I was doing the same thing, but no matter how many times I ran all the data through my head, there was nothing we could have done differently. We took down the bear with ease between the both of us, but it was too late for the brown wolf I’d tried to save by then. This was the exact reason Jace and I had not wanted to risk an invasion attempt before, but things changed after my mate led us to the group of she-wolves when we found her. There wasn’t any way we could leave them, so Jace had pulled some of his males to bolster Jax’s numbers to help get everyone safely home. Alas, Aaron’s sacrifice aided us in achieving our goal, but I was aware our escape was only one small battle in the war Scarlett’s ex had chosen to wage with our species alongsi

Scarlett I indulged myself with my mate’s drugging kiss for an indetermined amount of time. I never wanted our embrace to end, but my exhaustion was near impossible to ignore as I battled to stay on my feet. The temporary surge of energy I’d felt from my righteous anger had kept me going up until now, but I knew my time was limited before sleep welcomed me like an old friend again. Reese was supporting the bulk of my weight by this point. Still, I knew he had to be bushed himself. My legs gave out in the midst of our tangling tongues and roving hands, but I persisted to languidly enjoy his delectable aroma straight from the source. I didn’t know if my jelly legs were as a result of my tired state, or from the pure pleasure streaming through my system, but either way, his wiry arms were there to catch me when I began my collision course with the ground. “Sweetheart, are you okay?” I took a few deep breaths to steady mys

Scarlett Reese’s soft snore gave me my answer on whether he was awake or not. I briefly wondered what time it was, but I decided I didn’t care when I felt my mate’s morning wood pressing into my ass from where he had me ensconced by his side. He made me feel cherished, and I was damn proud I had marked him with my claiming bite last night. My wolf howled her joy within my head, causing me to wince with the thunderous noise, but I was able to coax her to the background after promising to shift for a run soon to let off some steam. The current course of my mind might have had something to do with her easy reception also, but only Luna knew for sure. I carefully extricated myself from Reese’s burly arms and breathed a sigh of relief when I didn’t wake him as I sat up to take in all of his form. The blankets were riding low on his waist, showcasing the irresistible v that I was dying to run my tongue over. I volleyed my ey

Scarlett I saw the way Kyle had flinched with my question, and his hesitation was undeniable as I looked towards Zoey to give him time to formulate his reply. I concentrated on the she-wolf while she answered in a firm tone, “I’m not totally sure about the other girls, but most of us came from the Western Province. The bears had some sort of smoke bomb that knocked us out, and they apparently hightailed it out of there with us in tow before anyone could raise the alarm. We were all together when we awoke, and you already know what happened after that.” I eyed Kyle’s reaction to what his mate had revealed. He’d seemed puzzled when she mentioned the smoke bomb, but I didn’t pause to unpack everything as my mind whirled. I was impressed with how Zoey was handling things, but then again, I hadn’t exactly pegged her for a shrinking wallflower, after all. Her explanation was brief, but to the point. I cast my searching gaze around t

Reese I didn’t know shit about healing, so I backed off and let someone more qualified take a look at the insentient male after I’d deposited him on the lush leather of the cramped sofa. I registered the Alpha of the Northern Province urging the she-wolves in the room to congregate elsewhere while I monitored Jace’s tossing form on the furniture I’d placed him on. Although, I heard Jax ask the girls to stick close for now while Scarlett hovered helplessly over her friend nearby. Once upon a time, I might have been jealous about her attention towards another male, especially Jace, but I was feeling more secure in our bond now after everything we had been through together. Jace having a mate of his own might have played a role in my confidence, or maybe it was caused by the respect I had gained for the male through his selfless actions over the last several days. Either way, I didn’t ponder the thought for long as I alighted on
Mated to the Alpha of the West Thirty-Four
Scarlett I felt like I had been on an emotional rollercoaster with all the unanticipated events taking place around me, but Reese’s embrace and soothing smell of cinnamon and pine kept me grounded until I made it to the other side of the cavernous trench threatening to engulf me within its depths. I wasn’t surprised with the info my true mate relayed or that Jace had already been aware of the females who had been snatched from under his care. It explained a lot about his behavior before, and I knew Jace was skilled in gaining intel when he needed to be. “I’m sure you would be all too happy to escort them there as well, right?” My eyes were drawn to the smirk present on Reese’s bearded face by his deep voice ringing out, and he gave me the last piece to the puzzle as he continued, addressing Jace as he said, “Your mate is probably worried sick right now.” All the same, his words left me fleetingly stunned before they nudged my brain in
Mated to the Alpha of the West Thirty-Five
Reese I had an abundance of free time to think on the long car ride home as the others dozed around me. I felt just as exhausted as they plainly were after burning the candle at both ends for so long. The darkened sky and my full belly had my eyes drifting shut without my permission as one of Jax’s males drove the large van we were riding in towards my home. I desperately wanted to succumb to the blackness, but I was having trouble shaking off my niggling concerns about the threat the rogues posed. The last thing we needed was to have to fend off an attack in our precarious position, but I recalled Oliver had informed me the elders’ allies had been quiet for the past couple of days. Jax and Jace had supported his declaration with their own observations and reports from their males, so I knew we should be safe by all accounts. I resolved on upping my caution when we stopped to refuel, but I mercifully slipped my heavy lids shut
Mated to the Alpha of the West Thirty-Six
Reese Scarlett wiggled out of my arms in response, laughing merrily as she shot me a mischievous look and dashed down the hallway in the direction of the front door. My wolf clawed at my skin to escape with the clear signs of her own animal shining brightly in her ocean-blue eyes, enthusing as she flitted away, “Let’s go!” I took off after her in an instant, feeling the endorphins flood my system as I gave chase after her, but I stumbled to a halt a minute later, barely managing to catch myself against the firmly closed door in front of us before I crashed into my immovable mate. “What’s wrong, Fire?” I asked, righting myself and reaching out to gently grasp her by the shoulders. She rotated in my arms without any further coaxing on my part, but I sensed the uncertainty emanating from her. Biting down into her plush lower lip, she transitorily drew my focus as she said, “I need to drink more of the herba
