LOGINI nodded. “I’d really, really rather you not ever do that again.”“Then, perhaps there’s another way to add their land and strength to ours. Say, through an alliance. Or, through a bonding.”“You want me to court their Alpha?” I yelped.“Well, first be sure he’s compatible,” Lucian said. “But you he
ZaraMy aunt, Tabitha, had answers for us. Once she finally stopped laughing. It turned out that Lycans often didn’t shift until they took their first bond. It was quite the experience.Running with my mates, all of us in wolf form, was something I would never forget. I made sure to do it as often a
I tugged on Lucian’s shirt, and he slithered out of it. Kieran’s followed soon after. Kieran tangled his hand in my shirt but hesitated until I nodded to pull it over my head. Then Lucian leaned in and started nipping and licking his way down from my neck, to my chest, and Kieran’s hands roamed.Hea
ZaraI didn’t know what to say, what to do. Did I want to break the bond that was slowly forming between me and the twins? Did I want them for my mates? Did they want me?I looked at Lucian, and saw his eyes were wolf gold, locked onto me. His wolf wanted me, that was for certain. But what about the

ZaraLucian grabbed my arm and led me through the woods. It was like he thought I would try to run away if he wasn’t holding on to me. I wouldn’t. Mostly because I didn’t want to end up captured by the Rogues.“You were going to bond to him?” Lucian asked. “Seriously?”I shrugged. “What choice did I
LucianWe reached the Alpha house in the evening, a little late for dinner but well before nightfall. I ordered food sent to my rooms and pulled Zara along behind me. I could have ordered her to follow me, but she was in a mood so I figured it would be easier just to keep a hand on her arm.Why was
ZaraWe ate dinner in silence. I know the twins stared at me throughout the whole meal. I refused to look back up at them, though. I kept my eyes on my food.I couldn't say what we ate. Everything tasted like dust anyway. I could only say it wasn't poison.Had my own sister really tried to kill me?
I slumped against the nearest tree. I knew better than to try to flee. They’d run me down like a rabbit. All I could do was wait for the fight to end. Then I’d be at the mercy of the winner.Adrian rolled out from under Lucian and jumped for me. I yelped and braced myself to be slammed hard into the
