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

“Oh, you mean Chloe! Yes, of course, please do come in. Chloe is not here at this exact moment but she should return soon.”“Where is she?” I asked.“She took an early delivery to one of our trade partners,” Charlotte said. “She should be back soon. May I ask if this is a personal matter?”“I was ho
LucianKieran and I stalked towards the Rogue encampment in wolf form. We had only a half dozen fighters with us. We didn't dare bring more than that. There was a risk that this whole thing was a distraction, that the Rogues or one of the other Alphas intended to attack the main pack while we were a

The car drove for what must have been hours. Chloe paused at one point, presumably to take care of her personal needs, but she didn’t open the trunk. I wasn’t sure whether that was because we were still inside the twin Alphas’ territory, or because she didn’t care if I was uncomfortable.Finally, th
