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
I didn’t blame her for getting out of there. I really admired her courage when she returned some minutes later with a tray full of tea and little cookies.“So, tell me what you know of Lycans,” Tabitha said.Zara just shook her head, baffled.“They’re a myth,” Lucian declared. “Supposedly, before th

Zara“I can explain,” I stammered, shrinking away from Lucian's icy gaze.I couldn't get away. His grip around my waist was too tight. He leaned over my shoulder, idly tapping the vial against the sink.“I'm sure you can,” Lucian purred. “I'd love to hear it.”“I... it was the Rogue. He slipped me t
Kieran just watched the whole exchange, his eyes dark and unreadable. He was probably waiting for me to slip up, to embarrass myself in front of Chloe’s smug entourage. Chloe lived to put me in my place, like I was some kind of insect she enjoyed stepping on. But this time, I wasn’t about to give he
“I’m, well, my name is Zara Sawyer. But the name on my birth certificate was Zara Lucas. I think you’re looking for me. Or you were, when I was a baby,” I said, all in a rush.There was silence on the line for a long moment.Then the woman hissed, “If this is some kind of prank, I will bury you, who
“That one,” I said, when I spotted one particular collar.“Why that one?” Kieran asked.The collar in question was simple, in that it was a thin black leather band. But it wasn’t plain. There was a slender, metallic blue cord woven around the collar in a series of intricate knots.“I’m not sure, it
