Se connecterPiper Sloane is the epitome of a sad broken-hearted woman. She's running from her ex-boyfriend whom she found in the shower with another woman. Though when she packed her bags to jump ship, she never expected to get lost, or for her hero not to be a hero at all. She realizes quickly that her gallant knight isn't gallant or a hero. He's brutish. Unpolished. Barbaric. And not quite human.

What does your mother think about that?”He put his imaginary sword back into his holder. “She says I need to eat the good stuff and stop sneaking candy, or I won’t have muscles like yours. I think it’s bologna, but don’t tell her that.”I chuckled, while hauling the last of the lumber into a pile by the foundation next to the pack house. With the pack growing the way it was, we needed the extra space for female wolves carrying pups. “I won’t tell if you go grab me three of those cookies I smell cooking in the kitchen.”He glanced at the backdoor. “I’ll be back in a flash,” he said, taking off toward the stairs. It was a relief to get a second to myself from that chatterbox. Though, I didn’t mind. His dad died a few years back in a fight with a few rogue wolves he encountered. It'd been hard on him, and filling that void in his life was an
My body screamed at me when I tried to move the next morning. The positions Zander folded my body into throughout the night had every inch of me pissed. A stretch would do me well today. The sun was well into the sky when I pried my eyes opened the next morning. Sadly, a naked Zander wasn’t lying beside me. The sheets were cold to the touch. Slipping from the bed, I felt a tight pressure in-between my legs, and a grin settled on my face. I could get used to this ... I found one of Zander’s t-shirts resting on the end of the bed, so I slipped it over my head and followed the sound of talking. There was a lightness in the air as I skipped down the steps, and walked toward the kitchen. William and Zander sat at the kitchen table with a man I’d never seen before. I halted in the doorway, suddenly regretting my attempt at being sexy and wearing his clothing. Zander stood up, his gaze swept me from head to toe, and he smiled. “Piper,” he said. “Good morning.”William chuckled. “You me
The breeze hit my skin awakening emotions that had been hidden for decades. My hair moved in the humid summer wind, and though it was summer in Louisiana, I could have lived outside for the rest of my life. Sweat or not sweat.Piper stirred beside me, her leg draped over mine, and her arm across my stomach. My arm grew numb over an hour before, but I didn’t dare move. I didn’t want this dream to end. I still couldn’t fathom that it was over. The curse. The torment. Now it was time for my true life to start. The one I didn’t deserve. The one that included my forever mate. The one woman I would spend the rest of my life with. Piper stirred again, this time her pretty hazel gaze stared up at me. “Hey,” she whispered. “I can’t believe I fell asleep out here.”“You needed the rest.”She pushed off my chest and glanced around at the garden, and the sun moving across the sky. “What time is it? I’m starving.”“Way past lunch,” I said, sitting up beside her. “I’m sure Vivian has something to
The tears in my eyes blurred my vision. My father’s tugs became harder, and it only made me cling to Zander. I tried to blink the tears away, in an attempt to see him for one more second. I just needed one more second ... Zander gave up his life for my dad. That reality was a bittersweet poison sliding down my throat. He’d given up our chance to be together to save my father. I wore his mark on my neck, and he gave it up. To save a man that didn't want me to be there. It didn't seem real. It all felt like a dream, a nightmare come to life. Dad tugged me harder, urging me to stand up. “Get up, Sweetheart. We have to find a way out of here.”The bittersweet taste in my mouth turned to acid in my throat. I turned my gaze upward toward my father’s ashen face. “I don’t want to leave. Zander’s dead. He saved your life, and you’re still trying to run! They saved your life!”My father stepped back and stood up straight. “Piper. I know he did, but we have to leave before another one of tho
