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

ZaraWe left Elliot’s office after a few more formalities. He warned us that the investigation would not be quick, but he promised weekly updates. Lucian offered to set up the retainer f*e, but Elliot insisted that he would not accept any payment until his first update, so that we could see that he

ZaraI went to visit Kieran the next day. I wanted to apologize for not helping him with the voices. I had the ability to soothe his wolf, and I’d let Lucian send me to my room.“Zara,” Kieran opened the door seconds after I knocked. “Is something wrong?”“No,” I said. “I just wanted to check on you
