Agnes

I used to love gardening, the smell and the grittiness of the soil under my fingers. Frank never used to let me tend the flowers or the vegetable patch. “We have people for that,” he used to say. I had to look perfect always. Perfectly manicured nails, no hair out of place. If he could only see me now, kneeling in the dirt between the rows of vegetables at the back of Joel’s house- our house- he’d probably have thrown a fit. Probably dragged me by the hair to the bathroom. I shuddered whe

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Finding Miles

    ConnorThe last thing I remembered was the sound of Regina’s voice before I drifted off like a leaf, weightless, on a gentle breeze. Deeper and deeper I floated into the void. Somewhere in this nothingness, I hoped to find Miles.I opened my eyes and found myself in my bedroom. Only it looked different. It looked exactly as it had been when I was a teenager. Posters on my wall from rock groups I had all but forgotten, schoolbooks lying scattered on the floor. And there, lying on my bed… Stacy. Just like she was when we were fifteen.This wasn’t real.“What the devil are you doing in my dream?” I asked. Caught my reflection in the mirror, a teenage me stared back.“Is this a dream? Or a memory?” she asked. “This was our first time. Don’t you remember?” She got off the bed, standing in front of me. Hair tousled, mouth kiss swollen. Her floral scent all over me.“I would rather forget.” We were hopelessly in love and way too young. “It was a mistake.”Her voice was soft and sweet then. “

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Playing with Fire

    Neil. He approached with a smile that could melt icebergs. Mel stayed glued to my arm like a conjoined twin. It both irritated and grounded me simultaneously.“Neil! So lovely to see you.” What the hell else was I supposed to say?He held his hand out for me to take, which I did, without thinking. He held it for a moment too long. There was heat in his eyes that I pretended to ignore. “Cassie. Wow, you look amazing.” As an afterthought, he glanced at Mel. “Hi Mel.”“Neil,” she answered. Flat, just bordering on impolite.The compliment landed harder than I would like to admit. Darn it.Aargh! It’s just something people say, Cassandra. No need to get all hot and bothered. But I still blushed. “Oh, thanks.” My free hand rested on my baby bump. “It’s been a while. You’re still at the Academy?”“Yeah, still the same thing.” He scanned the room. “So, I don’t see Connor anywhere. Is he still coming?”“Luna,” Mel interrupted before I could reply. “Alpha Harald is waiting for us.”A memory fla

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   The Summit

    CassandraMiami.The last place I thought I would ever return to. Just thinking about it made my stomach twist with dread. Too many bad memories. Sometimes I still have nightmares about Frank. But he is dust and bone and could never hurt me or my mother.I still wanted to know what happened to Connor and my dad when they went to Rossi’s place. To this day, neither of them wanted to talk about it. Joel’s grim expression was a sign that he wasn’t looking forward to attending the summit meeting at Alpha Harald’s pack. Maybe he too had too many bad memories.He could have stayed home. Actually, I would have preferred it if he did.Dad insisted on driving even though I knew he hated it. Ray and Mel were cozy in the backseat, murmuring to each other. At least they have each other.My heart longed for Connor. The bed was big and empty without him. Did he miss me? Was our mate bond so broken? Would he ever come back to me? Have I lost him to that vampire brat?Sage uttered a low growl at the

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Saving Connor

    MilesGoddess, it was glorious to feel the familiar, coarse texture of fur against my skin again. I hungered to return to the pack, to scent my mate and pup, but Connor remained trapped under the haze of Regina’s hypnosis.His presence was a cold, hollow echo, lacking the warm, vibrant spark of his soul. Fear that I may never reach him gnawed at my gut, but I shoved it into the darkness of my mind, desperate to wake him. ‘For our mate’s sake, Connor. Fight to get back to me.’ I prayed he would hear my plea.Moving my massive frame in the cramped, airless room without shattering something felt nearly impossible. The two women retreated behind the bed, their caution understandable. Most would run at the sight of me.“Wow, I underestimated your size, Miles. Best sit down,” Regina said, her voice dry as I knocked a ceramic vase off a side table, the sharp clatter of its destruction ringing against the floor.“Congratulations, Mother,” the girl scoffed, her eyes shifting warily as she trac

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   The Alpha Luna

    CassandraI called the elders to the conference room, and now they were looking at me with questions in their eyes. My dad sat next to me, his presence a warm comfort. Ray and Melissa also came. Their faces pinched with concern. I had spoken to them earlier about my decision to tell the elders what exactly was wrong with Connor.“Where is Alpha Connor? Shouldn’t we wait for him?” an elder asked.“Yes, that is why I called you here.” Letting my gaze travel over them, shoulders back, back straight. “I am temporarily relieving the alpha.”“Luna, with all due respect, you already have your duties to fulfill as Luna of this pack,” Elder Paul dismissed me with his tone. He turned to Ray. “This is highly irregular. Where is the alpha? Did something happen? Beta Ray, please fill us in.”Ray looked at me with an apologetic smile. “With your permission, Luna?”Of course, they would rather hear it from a male rather than me, a female. I thought things would be different now that Connor replaced

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Back from the Cold

    MilesHow long have I been asleep?It's so dark, an absolute blackness that swallows all sight.Where was I?Connor?Sage? Cassie?What happened? Oh, wait! I remember. The cave. A blinding flash, and then... nothing.The first time I came to Connor was gone. I was in a dark place, so deep and lightless that even my wolf eyes couldn't pierce it. A chilling cold seeped into me, an empty, lifeless void.Was I dead?Oh Goddess! Did Connor die? “Connor?” I called out, my voice swallowed by the suffocating silence. “What is this place?”I was weightless, drifting in a silent limbo. Time lost all meaning, stretching into an eternity.Then, a faint tug, a gentle pull. It drew me back, pulling me into Connor's mind.“Yes, yes! Of course he wasn't dead! He's an alpha.” Relief washed over me, a surge of pure joy. “Connor, it's me, Miles. Your wolf. I'm back.”But when he didn’t answer me, I was afraid.I panicked. Ran around in circles only to come up against an impenetrable barrier, again and

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   New Friends

    Cassandra“Lift your hands, Cassie. Protect your vulnerable parts.” Sam stood close behind me, helping me learn the proper fighting stances and blocks. Were all of them so good-looking? I have not seen a single unattractive person here. It was very distracting being surrounded by powerfully sculpte

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Stay or Go

    AGNESJoel and I walked to his house in uncomfortable silence. Passersby glanced at us with open curiosity. A human woman at Wolf Creek, unbelievable! I could almost hear their thoughts.It’s not that I expected Joel to welcome me back with open arms, but this—this coldness—it really stung. He had

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Welcome to Crazy Land

    CASSANDRAWith the alpha guy yakking to Agnes and Joel, I browsed the books to keep myself busy. I saw some of my favorite authors there, much to my pleasant surprise. Seems like we had something in common. I loved reading. Yeah, I was a nerd. But no one had to know, right? A werewolf nerd. I could

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Digging for the truth

    CONNOR"I apologize for Cassie's rude behavior, Connor," Agnes started off as soon as we stepped into my sun-filled office. Agnes touched her forehead slightly, revealing that Cassandra’s behavior had embarrassed her."She's certainly feisty," I said, directing them to be seated on the plush leathe
