LOGINDr. Mara Bennett thought the strangest thing she’d ever treated was a goat that ate an engagement ring. Then a massive black wolf arrived at her veterinary clinic with a silver bullet buried in his chest. Mara saves his life, only to discover the next morning that her patient has been replaced by a very naked... man. Kieran Vale isn't just a werewolf. He's the Alpha of the local pack, and Mara is apparently his trust mate. There's just one problem. Kieran already has a Luna. When his bond with the violent and feared Selene begins unraveling, Mara is dragged into pack politics she wants absolutely nothing to do with. But when the pack offers her access to generations of werewolf medical knowledge in exchange for giving Kieran. Half the pack wants her protected, half wants her gone, Selene wants her dead, and someone inside Kieran’s territory may have been responsible for shooting him. Mara only wanted to save a wolf. Instead, she got an Alpha who desperately needs a leash.
View MoreSeleneI did not tell Kieran I was going to see my mother until I was already halfway there. Mostly because I knew exactly what he would say. Actually, I knew what everyone would say. Kieran would tell me to wait. Cassian would want surveillance. Rhett would suggest bringing half the security team. Sabine would probably ask whether I had eaten first. And Mara would probably tell all of them to stop telling me what to do.The thought almost made me smile. My phone rang. Kieran. Of course. I answered through the car speakers.“Hello.”“Turn around.”I rolled my eyes. “You aren't even going to ask where I'm going?”“You're going to your mother's.”“How do you know?”“Because Cassian called me approximately thirty seconds after you left.”Traitor.“I'm going to murder him.”“You can stand in line.”I drove faster. Not much but enough to be petty.“Kieran, I'm not turning around.”“I know.”That surprised me. “You know?”“I've known you most of my life.”“Unfortunately.”“What I am asking
CassianThere were very few things worse than having your best friend wonder whether you tried to get him killed.I was discovering them slowly.Standing outside Mara's clinic while strangers from Alder Creek repaired the damage was apparently one.Kieran hadn't accused me. That almost made it worse. If he'd yelled, I could yell back. If he'd threatened me, I could tell him to go to hell. Instead he'd looked at the report. Then at me.And said, "I heard you."Not I believe you.Fantastic.I leaned against my truck and stared at the access logs on my phone. Again. Same answer. My credentials. 11:42 p.m. Secured office. Patrol schedule. Print. One page.I hadn't been there. Selene could prove it. Which cleared me of physically sitting at the computer. It did not clear me of giving someone access.I hated that Mara had noticed that instantly.Smart fucking human.Rhett emerged from the clinic carrying a broken cabinet. He saw me. Stopped. Then kept walking."Say it."He dropped the cabin
MaraKieran came back with coffee.The good kind.That probably saved his life.I was sitting cross-legged on the floor behind the reception counter because the chair had lost one wheel, and apparently nearly being murdered did not exempt me from insurance paperwork.The clinic still looked like a disaster. Less dangerous, though. Someone had boarded the front window. Someone else had swept the broken glass. Rhett had disappeared with three damaged cabinets and returned an hour later with tools, lumber, and an expression that suggested violence would have been easier.Tessa was upstairs sleeping. Finally. I had tried. Failed. Then given up and started sorting damaged medication inventory, the tedium of it a small mercy after the night we'd had.The front door opened. Kieran stepped through carrying two coffees and a paper bag.I looked at him. Then the bag."Food?""Yes.""What kind?""You've had coffee and half a granola bar since last night.""That wasn't my question.""Breakfast sa
KieranBy eight the next morning, I had slept for exactly forty-three minutes.Mara had slept more. Barely.She was upstairs above the clinic with Tessa, surrounded by three wolves outside the building, two across the street, and Rhett somewhere close enough that I could smell him every time the wind changed.Mara had objected. Then I pointed at the shattered front window.She told me to go to hell. But she stopped arguing.I considered that a victory. A temporary one, the kind that never lasted much past sunrise.Now I stood inside an old storage building near the southern edge of the territory, staring through reinforced glass at one of the men who had put a gun to my mate's head. The morning light came in thin and gray through a high window, doing nothing to soften the room.My wolf wanted through the wall.Cassian stood beside me. "You're growling.""I know.""Stop."I looked at him.He sighed. "Or don't."The hunter sat in a metal chair on the other side of the glass. His should
