Mara

Silas looked terrified, the kind that sits in a person's shoulders and will not let go.

Kieran leaned forward. "You said war."

Silas nodded slowly.

"With who?"

The old man looked between Kieran and Cassian, as if hoping one of them would answer for him.

"Ravenholt."

Cassian went still. Sabine swore under her breath. I looked between them, feeling very much like the only person in the room who did not already know what that name meant.

"Okay. Human in the room."

Kieran's jaw tightened. "Rav

Wow. Just because Selene is not Luna why wouldn’t they still want an alliance that’s not about mating?

  • Please Keep Your Alpha On A Leash   Chapter 61: The Pack That Came to Her

    MaraAt eleven seventeen the next morning, three strangers walked into my clinic.I knew immediately. Not because they were growling, and not because anyone announced themselves. All three of them moved like Kieran's people did. Too quiet. Too aware. Too controlled.The woman in front looked to be in her late forties, with dark hair braided tightly down her back. Behind her stood a younger man with one arm held slightly away from his body and another woman carrying a leather medical bag.Tessa looked at me. I looked at Tessa. Her eyebrows rose.Werewolves. Great.The older woman stepped forward. “You're Mara Bennett?”“That depends.”Her expression tightened. “On?”“Whether you're here to kill me or ask why your shoulder still hurts even though it healed six months ago.”The younger man froze. I pointed at him.“That one.”His brows shot up. The older woman slowly looked at his shoulder, then back at me. Interesting.“I'm Lenora Hayes.” She held out her hand. “Healer for Alder Creek.”

    KieranI watched Mara walk away through the healer building window. She stopped halfway to her car, and for one stupid second, hope surged through me.Turn around.My wolf lifted his head.Mate.Mara didn't turn around. She stood there for several seconds, gripping the strap of her medical bag. Then she kept walking. The car door opened and closed. The engine started, and she was gone.Fuck.“She came anyway.”I closed my eyes. Sabine. Of course.“I know.”She stepped beside me. “You called and she came.”“You called.”“You know what I mean.”I looked through the empty window. “Someone was hurt.”“Exactly.”I turned.Sabine folded her arms. “She knew she would see you.”“I'm aware.”“She came anyway.”“Sabine.”“I'm making a point.”“I don't want the point.”“That has never stopped Mara from making one.”That almost hurt enough to be funny. Almost. Sabine's expression softened.“She left you, Kieran.”My jaw tightened. “I noticed.”“She did not leave your pack.”No. Apparently she had

    MaraSabine called at 4:17 in the afternoon.I knew because I stared at the screen for three full rings before answering.Not Kieran. Sabine. That should not have disappointed me.It did."Hey.""Mara."Something in her voice made me straighten."What happened?""We have three patrol wolves coming in."My stomach dropped. "Injuries?""Yes.""How bad?""One moderate. Two significant.""Significant how?""Silver involved."I was already moving. "Where?""Our healer building."I grabbed my emergency bag from beneath the counter. "How long until they arrive?""Ten minutes.""Conscious?""All three.""Any major blood loss?""One.""Breathing?""Stable for now.""Tell me exactly what happened.""We don't know yet. They were near the northern boundary."Northern. Ravenholt.Fuck."I'm coming."Sabine hesitated. "You don't have to.""Yes, I do.""Mara.""Medical only."Silence.Then quietly, "I understand."I didn't know if I believed her. I barely believed myself.Tessa looked up from recept

    MaraI was examining a bulldog's ear when Tessa appeared in the doorway. She didn't say anything. She just stood there. I looked up."What?"Her eyebrows rose."What?""You have a visitor.""Does my visitor have fur?""No.""Then tell them I'm busy.""I don't think she's going to leave."She. My stomach dropped."Tessa.""She's very pretty."Fuck."And terrifying."Double fuck. I slowly straightened."Selene?"Tessa nodded. "Selene."The bulldog chose that moment to shake his head hard enough to send ear cleaner across my scrub top. I closed my eyes."Perfect."Tessa bit her lip. "Want me to tell her you died?""She'd probably ask to see the body.""Good point."I finished the exam, spoke with the owner, prescribed treatment for a straightforward ear infection, and took longer than necessary washing my hands.Selene was waiting when I finally walked into reception. Alone. No ruling cane. No expensive mother. No Kieran. Just Selene. She looked tired. Not messy. I wasn't sure the woman w

    KieranI had not slept. Again. Apparently heartbreak was excellent for productivity.By six in the morning, I had maps covering the council table, patrol reports stacked beside them, and enough coffee in my system to kill a human.Mara would probably have an opinion about that.The thought hit hard enough that I stopped moving.Fuck.I stared at the map instead.Red marks showed Ravenholt controlled territory. There were too many. Seven confirmed regions. Three smaller packs officially independent but effectively answering to Ravenholt. Northern routes. River crossings. Winter roads. Land my father had apparently spent half his life trying to keep out of their hands.The door opened. Cassian walked in first. Rhett followed. Then Sabine. Selene came last. Nobody commented on the fact I had called them before sunrise.Smart.Cassian looked at the maps. "You've been busy.""I've been awake.""That explains your face."Rhett dropped into a chair. "You look like shit.""Thank you."Sabine

  • Please Keep Your Alpha On A Leash   Chapter 56: I Will Not Be Used Again

    SeleneMy mother arrived before breakfast. Again. Apparently being told to leave had become more of a suggestion than an instruction.I found her in the sitting room.She was speaking to one of the house staff as though she still had authority under this roof, her voice pitched in that smooth, pleasant register she saved for people she considered beneath her."Leave us."The young woman disappeared immediately, eyes down, the door clicking softly behind her.Vivienne turned. "There you are."I stayed in the doorway, one hand on the frame. "You were told to go home.""I did.""And yet somehow you found your way back."Her expression tightened. "Circumstances have changed."With my mother, that usually meant she had found another way to use me."What circumstances?"Her face softened into something almost pleased. "The human left him."I stared at her. "Mara.""What?""Her name is Mara."Vivienne waved that away like smoke drifting between us. "Mara ended whatever was happening between
