Chlose constantly complained to our parents that she didn’t have one of these dresses.“Here,” said Logan. When I turned to look, he was holding a black credit card out to me.“What’s this?” I asked, staring at it.“Pick out whatever you like. You’ll need a new closet, but there’s an important forma
Emily“I’m sorry, I was told that Alpha Duke was engaged to someone else!” cried out Renee as security dragged her out. She tried to grab at anything she could to keep them from removing her from the store.She managed to wiggle out of their grasp and came running over to me.“Please tell me that is
Still, he made my heart pound.“Why’d you come in here?” I asked. He put his hands in his pockets and flashed a small smile.“I had a feeling,” he said simply. I have a feeling there is nothing that doesn’t get by this man.“What kind of feeling?”“That you might need some help.” I don’t know why, b
EmilyThe day of the banquet came faster than I wanted. I’d been reviewing etiquette, including that expected of a Luna, for the days leading up to this important event.My family had never given me any kind of Luna training. Normally, the sons and daughters of Alphas received Alpha or Luna training
LoganEric’s face lit up at Chloe’s words. These two would do anything to stop me and Emily from being in a relationship.“I thought you wanted to be Alpha, brother,” said Eric with glee, “how could you accept a Luna in wolf dormancy? Surely the pack won’t like that.”“I am not concerned about findi
LoganWhen I left my conversation with the other Alphas, I saw that Emily was in the middle of a confrontation with some of the other ladies. Among them was Eric’s wife, Pam.I had no doubt she would try to stir up trouble the same way Eric did.As I approached, prepared to interrupt their conversat
EmilyAll we did was stand there, locked in each other’s gazes. With Logan standing a step below me, we were eye to eye for the first time.The heat between us was intense. The closeness of our faces made our breaths mingle.Whenever we were together, and especially when we were alone, the air felt
I bit my lip to stop that uncomfortable new feeling.Logan didn’t seem to notice the blonde maid’s curves as he turned his eyes to me. A wry smile curled his lips for a moment.“It’s fine like it is,” he said. The low tone of his voice sent an electrifying shiver down my spine. He continued back out
EmilyBy morning, the sting had dulled.It had taken hours to coax myself out of the spiral. I wasn’t the jealous type. I wasn’t the girl who stormed away from whispered rumors and veiled stares.Seeing Chloe kiss Logan, seeing him stand there, impassive and infuriatingly unreadable chipped at somet
Third PersonWhispers swirled like leaves caught in a current. Chloe had cracked something open, and now everything felt unstable. At the pack house, in the meeting halls, even at the training fields, the air held a strange static and an anticipatory hush.A storm was coming.Chloe knew exactly what
EmilyThe next morning, I didn’t knock when I entered his office. I opened the door and walked in, reminding myself to be confident as I clutched the folder of evidence against my chest.He looked up from his desk, startled. “Emily?”I stayed by the doorway, tension wound tight around my spine. “We
LoganI had always believed I was capable of handling anything that came my way.It was in my nature. I was more than an Alpha, I was a man in control. Only now I was faced with a fire I wasn’t sure I understood. The worst part was, it wasn’t my enemies setting the blaze.It was Emily.I hadn’t been
I didn’t have to strain to hear them.The hush of conversations when I passed didn’t stop even when I was right in front of them.“… never thought she’d last this long…”“… Logan hasn’t really fallen for her, has he?”“… it has to be a fake relationship, especially with a wolf like hers…”Each word l
EmilyThere were a thousand logical explanations for what I saw.Maybe Chloe had wandered into Logan’s office on her own. Maybe she’d asked a question. Maybe she was trying to manipulate him. But it didn’t matter.Logic was no match for the cold, sinking twist in my gut when I saw the two of them to
I lowered my voice. “What would you do for a chance to be with me, Chloe?”She didn’t have a chance to answer. A crash came from behind her, and the both of us turned to see where the sound came from.It was Emily.The tablet she had been holding was now lying on the floor, the screen cracked. She s
LoganI stood at my office window, coffee in hand, watching as morning sunlight crept across the pack compound. I still felt uncomfortable about the date last night. I had expected so much from it, but it had fallen even more than flat.Not to mention that Emily and I were as tense as ever when we w
“I know. I didn’t want to make a scene, and it didn’t seem like it was worth it.”The fire in her eyes flared. “You didn’t think it was worth it?”“It benefits us in the end, doesn’t it? We need people to see us together.”“I thought you meant our fellow packmates, not publicists!” She started to ge
