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’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
ZaraI was right; it was a long two days while I waited to meet Tabitha and learn whatever she had to tell me. I told Lucian about the call and the upcoming visit. I’d expected he would be upset, but he just shrugged.“I promised to help you find answers,” he said. “So I will. This woman is welcome
Kieran’s wolf enjoyed being called a good pup. He pressed against my leg and went limp, a happy puddle of naked man. I kept petting his hair and speaking softly, the gentle repetition lulling him nearly to sleep.“I wish I knew how to help you both,” I said, “I wish you could tell me, but you can’t,
KieranI caught myself touching the bare skin of my throat several times during breakfast. Lucian noticed, but I claimed an itchy shirt collar and he rolled his eyes and let it go. Zara didn’t join us for breakfast, so I didn’t have to face her. Unfortunately her absence didn’t erase the feeling of
