Mag-log inI 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

LucianI called the former Rogue, Sandra, into my office. I had left her in charge while Kieran and I were traveling with Zara. At first glance it seemed like she had done a respectable job of handling the pack in our absence, but I wanted details.Sandra reported promptly, and bowed at the door.“C
ZaraI returned to my duties as the Alpha’s personal attendant. I wasn’t sure how I felt about the position. On the one hand, being their personal servant had been a humiliation at the beginning. On the other hand, it was the first time that I had a proper job within the pack. I was always the Alpha
“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
I lay back on my bed, and tried to imagine who might have filed that report. Did I have other family out there? Perhaps a grandparent, an aunt or uncle, who didn’t know where my mother had taken me.But why? Why would she leave me with the wolves if she had other family? Why had my mother been so de
