Savage Chapter 1: Reagan
**This book is the 8th in the Guardian's Next Generation series and 12th in the overall Guardian series. It can be read as a standalone novel, but scenes and historical incidents will be referenced without going into full detail of what happened. It is recommended that you begin the series at the beginning with The Broken Warrior's Daughter.**Reagan“Are you excited about your birthday?” my best friend Meadow asks me.We’re sitting in my bedroom at my parents’ house. We alternate between my house and hers in the city where she lives with her sister, Maeve, and my brother, Xander. It’s a toss up as to which house is more uncomfortable to stay at; mine because you’d think my parents were rabbits instead of werewolves, and Meadow’s because Xander and Maeve just had twins, increasing the size of their family to seven. They’ve only been together three years, but that hasn’t stopped Maeve from pushing out pups as fast as Xander can give them to her. And that doesn’t even include Maeve’s an

Kieran“Tell me again why you’re doing this, Alpha?” My pack member’s voice is grating on my nerves.‘Get her fucking hands off of us,’ my wolf, Samson, says.I look down and see that she’s rubbing my crotch and pressing her body against mine. I don’t even think I’m responding to her touch.“Camila, get your hands off of me,” I growl.“I just want to make you feel good, Alpha,” she purrs. Samson pushes forward, slamming her against the wall, holding her by her throat.“When an Alpha tells you to take your fucking hands off of him, you do it,” he snarls in her face.“Alpha, is everything okay?” Markus, my Beta asks, walking up.Samson turns, snarling at him. “Get her the fuck out of my sight before we have one less pack member.” Then he turns back to Camila. “Don’t fucking touch me again.”“Yes, Alpha,” she says, the scent of her fear practically choking me.‘Let her go, Samson,’ I tell my wolf.Markus pulls her out of my bedroom and then comes back in looking at the bags on the bed. “

ReaganI wake up late on my birthday only to see Meadow in my face staring at me.“What are you doing, creeper?”“Happy Birthday!” she yells and then does some magic that glitter bombs my entire room.“Aren’t you supposed to do something that I like on my birthday?” I grumble. I am so NOT a glitter girl and no matter how much magic she uses to get rid of it, I still find glitter all over the damn place. The last time she did this, I found glitter on my ass cheeks. No, scratch that, one of the warriors who saw me shift saw glitter on my ass shining in the sunlight and I’ve never lived it down.I’m pretty sure I’ve punched every male warrior in our pack for calling me Glitter Buns and every damn one of them said it was worth it. Bastards.“Look, grumpy, just because your mate wasn’t here last night, doesn’t mean he won’t arrive today,” Meadow says much too cheerfully.Every one of the Alphas and royals that had been here last night had wanted me to continue the party until it was midnig

ReaganA day of sparring is my favorite way to spend my birthday. I’m not the party girl that my twin sisters are and I’m not the prim and proper Council member that my sister, Leana, is. At heart, I’m a fighter, just like my father. And since everyone here knew that I wasn’t their mate, they let loose and really fought me.I took every one of them down.Now, I’m in my bedroom, getting ready for my party. The pack sprites are here doing my hair in the beautifully intricate way that they have. My mother, my sisters, my brothers’ mates, Meadow, Lily, Riley, Aunt Grace and Aunt Cara are all here. The house is full of women and babies since each of my sisters and brothers have young children. I’ve grown up with a lot of family members in a loud, bustling packhouse, so the noise doesn’t bother me at all. If anything, it makes me feel more normal than I have in the last two days dealing with all of the male suitors who are here hoping to be my mate.“There are still some people arriving, Re

KieranI’m furious at my wolf, but more furious at myself. I should have been stronger, should have been able to keep him contained.“Please don’t kill him,” Elias says again.“Elias, if you don’t fucking move out from in front of me, I’m demoting you.”“It would be worth it if you lived, Alpha,” he says.I drag myself to my feet. I shouldn’t be able to stand after the power that ripped me off my mate. But her power, all that fucking power that flowed into me for the few moments that Samson’s canines were in her neck, has strengthened me. And while I’m still at risk of going feral if we don’t complete our bond, Samson is much more manageable right now.“Your Gamma is very protective of you,” the older man, obviously my mate’s father, says.“My name is Alpha Kieran. I come from a pack out west. We literally just arrived and when my wolf smelled his mate, he took over. If I were in my right mind, I never would have marked her without her consent. But unfortunately, what my Gamma said is

ReaganAfter washing off the blood and looking at the horrible looking mate mark that looks like a vampire tried to rip my throat out, I put on comfortable clothes that Quinn got for me.“I want to talk to the man who was standing in front of ...” It doesn’t feel right to say it, but it’s true. “My mate. Do you know who he is?”I watch my mother’s eyes go unfocused. “Your father says he’s Alpha Kieran’s Gamma.”Alpha Kieran. I didn’t even know the name of the man who marked me.“I’m assuming he’s from out west? Is that why he arrived so late?”“Your brother asked the patrols when they arrived. They said they’d just arrived, indicating that they had been driving for two days,” my mother says.“What can we do, Reagan?” Malin asks me.“Whatever you need, we’re here for you,” Quinn adds.“I’m not really sure what I need. Maybe a drink. But first, I want to talk to the Gamma.”I look at myself in the mirror, pulling the shirt up so my hideous mate mark doesn’t show. Then I pull my hair over

KieranWow. Just wow. I haven’t been able to keep Samson in line for a long time, but this little slip of a woman, our mate, not only called him forward, but then she smacked my nose. Thankfully, Samson was forward and took the brunt of her slap as she intended. At least, I hope that’s what she intended.The shock resonating through me from Samson makes me want to laugh out loud. I might, if I wasn’t still so angry with him for what he did. He deserves everything she does to him and more.‘I was going feral,’ he says.‘Not an excuse. You’re a fucking Alpha wolf.’‘All the more reason that I was struggling,’ he growls.“Did you just growl at me?” my mate’s wolf snarls.The power emanating off of her is incredible. I felt it when Samson sank his canines into her neck but still. This level of power is unheard of.‘Not unheard of, just rare. I told you, she’s a Guardian,’ Samson says.‘What does that even mean?’ I ask him.‘I think you’re about to find out,’ he says as our mate stands up a

ReaganI’m not sure how I feel about my mate’s eager acceptance of my offer, but I’ve made it and I’ll stick to it. I have a lot to do before tomorrow.When I step out of the office, I’m not surprised to see Rich and my father standing there.“Give him a room. If you don’t trust him, put him with Gamma Elias,’ I say as I walk past them.“Reagan,” Rich says. He’s still my Alpha so I stop and look at him. “What are you going to do?”“What needs to be done,” I say, and keep walking. I already know that neither man is going to be happy with my decision, but it’s MY decision to make.I’m not surprised when my father catches up quickly and falls into step beside me.“And what exactly needs to be done, Reagan?” he asks me.“I need to decide if he’s worthy of me accepting him as a mate.”“Agreed. How do you propose to do that?”“I’m going back to his pack,” I say.My father grabs my arm and spins me toward him. “The fuck you are!”“Yes, Dad, I am. I am a grown woman, a Guardian. You know I’m p

Savage Chapter 45: Meadow
MeadowI knew immediately that something was wrong with Asmodeus. We’d been outside talking and everything had been fine, then his eyes had turned red and he was gone. I’d looked around and then seen him standing inside the packhouse door, panting.When I’d walked inside, I realized that Kieran had very violently killed someone and the blood was putting my mate into a blood haze. I thought letting him feed off me would have been enough, but I’d been terrified that he’d drain me, so I didn’t let him drink too much blood.I dragged him up to my room and the moment we’d walked inside he’d pressed me against the door, his nose running up and down my throat. I felt his fangs slide against my skin.“Asmodeus?” I ask, trying hard to remain calm. I know from living with Guardians that vampires respond to fear, it excites them.“I don’t want to hurt you. I haven’t fed enough lately,” I can hear him panting with the effort of controlling himself.“Can you feed on me without losing control?”“I d
Savage Chapter 44: Kieran
I wasn’t sure what Elias was going to say and a very small part of me worried that Reagan might snap his neck if she didn’t like what he said to her, but she’d held up her hand and Samson slammed our mouth shut.‘Trust our mate. She says she trusts Elias. Trust her that she means it,’ he said.Elias’ honesty doesn’t surprise me but hearing a second person say how quickly Samson went feral makes both of us angry. We were being undermined and poisoned, and I’m already confident that I know who it was.When Reagan lays it out so clearly, I realize how foolish I was to trust Markus. The entire pack turns to look at him. Everyone knows he has the most to gain if I'd gone feral. He would have taken over the pack and no one would have questioned it.“I was protecting all of you!” he yells.“Did you do it, Markus? Did you put silver in my drink?” I ask him. Now it’s my turn to stalk him.“No,” he snarls. That is the truth.“What about Reagan’s? Did you put silver in her drink?” I ask him.“I d
Savage Chapter 43: Reagan
ReaganI’m pleasantly surprised at how the pack responded to the news that I accepted Kieran. It means many of them not only accepted me but they are happy that he is whole again. I wouldn’t have accepted him if I hadn’t believed that he was a good man, worthy of the Guardian gifts that he’ll receive from being mated to me. But hearing the happiness from the pack reinforces that I made the right decision.“I cannot BELIEVE you didn’t tell me!” Meadow says, coming over to pull me in a hug. Since her scent has a strong cold, stinging scent to it, I pull back and look at her.“Something you want to share?” I ask her.“I’m not marked,” she says, showing me her neck.“But you shared your blood, didn’t you?” I ask her.“How did you ...” she begins, but I tap my nose.“Don’t insult me. You know I’m a Guardian,” I tell her.“Fine. I told him I wasn’t ready for him to mark me yet, but ... that he could taste my blood,” she says.“It was the most delicate, delicious, intoxicating taste that has
Savage Chapter 42: Kieran
KieranI’ve barely been asleep for two hours, but I’m so energized, so excited, so ready to announce that Reagan is mine to the pack. She’s right about those enhanced senses. At some point last night I heard my Gamma’s grunts and roars along with the strangest trilling sound I’ve ever heard.I expect to see my Gamma with a mate mark and a smile this morning.I tease my mate awake, sliding inside her. “Time to wake up beautiful,” I tell her, pleased when I feel her body responding to me quickly.“If I pretend to sleep will you keep doing what you’re doing,” she murmurs.“Nope. I will smack that ass, and make you come faster,” I growl. I feel fucking giddy this morning.She turns and looks at me over her shoulder. “Is that supposed to deter me?”“No. It was a warning. We don’t have a lot of time.” I slap her ass, taking her mouth in a dominant kiss as I thrust hard and fast, making her come twice before I release inside her again.“I’m starting to understand why I’ve walked in on my pare
Savage Chapter 41: Reagan
ReaganI felt my mate’s mind heal. I wonder if it was the same for my mother when she mated with my father, although she was still weak from years of being held captive by a vampire coven and my father wasn't as feral as Samson.As soon as Alayla sank her canines into his neck, accepting him as ours, his mind had healed and then behind that had been a nearly overwhelming wave of appreciation and relief, so much relief that he was healed.We stay like that for a long time, holding each other and letting our wolves push their venom into the other, scenting each other so everyone will know that we are now one.When we finally pull our canines out of each other's necks, I slide off of Kieran, laying beside him. He keeps one arm around me, brushing my hair away from face, looking at me like he’s never truly seen me before.“Why? What made you decide to accept me now?” he asks.“There were a lot of reasons. First, you’ve never once lied to me. I would know if you had. Your pack members aren’
Savage Chapter 40: Kieran
KieranI was trying to focus on what Reagan was saying, but her hands were rubbing against my chest and the moment she pressed her lips against mine, I lost all control. I had her pressed against the wall, grinding against her in my desperation.I expected her to push me away, but she didn’t. Instead she pulled my hips against her. Her hands against my bare ass making me realize that I lost the towel somewhere.“Yes, Kieran,” she purrs.That’s all the incentive I need. I slide my hands to her thighs and lift her up. She wraps her strong legs around me and I take her to the bed. She holds on as I crawl onto the bed, settling myself over her.“Tell me right now if this isn’t what you want,” I growl, my mouth sucking eagerly down her neck to her throat.“I want this,” she breathes.“Are you sure,” I say, lifting my head and holding on to the last vestiges of my control. I watch as her canines extend.“I’m sure,” she says, before they snick back into her gums.I take her mouth again, my ha
Savage Chapter 39: Reagan
ReaganAfter dinner, I checked on the omegas. I was worried that my violent display might have scared them. They were terrified, but not because I killed Camila. They all thought that I was going to blame Tessa.“She didn’t know, Luna. We can all vouch for her. Tessa would never do that,” Corinna says. They’ve basically created a wall in front of her.“I know that,” I tell them.“But she gave you the drink,” Elsie says.“I also know that Tessa would have been terrified to touch that glass if she’d known it contained silver. If she had splashed even a little on herself, it would have burned her, just like it would have burned any of you.”“You’re not mad, Luna?” Tessa asks, poking her head around Corinna.“At you? No. At Camila? Obviously, I was very angry. I’m angry because she tried to hurt Kieran. I’m angry because she put you and anyone else who touched that drink at risk of being injured.”“You should be careful of Olivia, Luna. She and Camila were friends,” Elsie says.“Anyone els
Savage Chapter 38: Markus
Markus“She killed her, Beta! She fucking killed Camila right in the middle of the dining hall! During dinner!” Olivia yells.“Keep you fucking voice down,” I snarl at her.I’d felt the tether to Camila snap. It was unfortunate, but this is war and there are always casualties in war. I was willing to make Camila my Luna when I became Alpha, but she was becoming overly confident and arrogant. I’ve heard of Guardians. I know that they are very powerful. But Camila didn’t want to listen and now she’s paid the price.“What are they going to do when they figure out that I’m the one who put the silver in their drinks!” she whisper yells at me.I look at Aaron, Nathan, and Penelope. The six of us, including Camila, had planned to take over the pack when Kieran went feral. We were going to be the new ranked members of the pack. Yeah, we helped Samson out a bit. At first it wasn’t as impactful, but as he got weaker and more out of control, the silver we were lacing his food and drinks with impa
Savage Chapter 37: Reagan
ReaganI look down at the amulet that is glowing on my chest. I lift it up to see it better.“Well, I guess that works,” I say, smiling at my friend. I hold the amulet while I put the drink back down. The light dies away.When I pick it up again, it lights up. I lift the drink to my nose and sniff it. There’s the faintest hint of something metallic.“Reagan put it down,” Kieran, or more accurately Samson, growls.“What is it?” one of the warriors at the table asks. The entire room has gone quiet, watching because of Meadow’s outburst.I stand, holding up my glass.“Who brought this to the table?” I ask, looking around.“I ... I ... I did,” Tessa says, stuttering.“Did you pour it for me?” I ask her.“I did. I got all of your drinks. Is something wrong with it? I can get you a new one?” she says, looking terrified.I can feel the fury rolling off of Kieran. I pick up his glass and sniff it as well. Metallic.“Don’t drink that,” I say to him. “You probably shouldn’t either,” I say to Mea
