Connor

Aiden slept peacefully after our shopping excursion in the new stroller, hugging the toy bear I couldn’t resist buying. Dressed in clean clothes and his tummy full, he was content, and I felt less angry. I couldn’t take my eyes off his angelic face. He was so perfect it made my heart ache. The four of us waited in Maxwell’s cold office.

A short while later, the vampire breezed into the room, his black robe slung over one shoulder. “I apologize for keeping you waiting,” Maxwell took one l

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Still You

    ConnorIt broke my heart to do this. But it was for her own good. I would stay until my pup was born and Cassie was strong enough to take over the pack. She called me a coward, and maybe she was right. It was okay. I didn’t hold it against her. Maybe someday she would realize it was for the best. I needed to be strong for both of us.I should tell the pack, but not tonight. Not when they were so happy for us. So we would pretend to be alright, the happy alpha and his beautiful luna for tonight.“Are you ready?” I found her still on our bed, holding my pillow tight against her. “Cassie...”Her face told me how wounded she felt, and it threatened to break me, but I couldn’t let my emotions cloud my judgment.“Why? I don’t want to celebrate with the pack, Connor. Don’t expect that from me when there is nothing to celebrate.”I kept my voice level. “We owe it to them, Cassie. Of course, there is plenty to celebrate. New life needs to be celebrated. Don’t be like this.” New life… When all

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Broken Bond

    Cassandra “I don’t believe you.” I fought hard to get my racing heart under control. Connor wouldn’t have killed a pack member. “Let’s get you cleaned up in the creek.” I wouldn’t want Aiden to see him looking like he had just stepped out of a horror movie.He followed me down to the flowing water. “I had to feed. I’ve been fighting this hunger since I ripped that man’s throat out.”“I know. Take off your shirt.” I tugged at his gore-covered shirt without looking at his face. The sight of the blood made me sick, but he was my mate. I had to stay strong. He needed to know that I would never run from him.He pulled the shirt over his head and discarded it. “Don’t pretend you’re not terrified.” He gripped my chin to make me look at him. “I can smell your fear. Your heartbeat is so loud, it’s deafening.”“You’re still you. Stop trying to make me think you’re not.” I held his gaze, forcing myself to be brave. He would never hurt me. “Yes, I am scared. I am scared for you, not of you. I am

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Abomination

    ConnorWhile the pack celebrated the good news, their howls and shouts bringing the woods to life, I was thinking of leaving.But how could I leave Cassie to cope with the pack alone? She was pregnant and vulnerable. My mother was hanging onto her sanity by a thread, and Cassie… she held onto my hand like I would disappear. My boy, my sweet Aiden… my heart was a piece of lead in my chest. I wanted to hold him, but what if I lost control? What if I couldn’t fight the urge to sink my teeth into his soft flesh? I held him for a moment, just a moment.I needed to speak to Cassie, to make sense of all this, our future. What good was I without my wolf? She was a strong alpha female, but being pregnant now…How the fuck did it even happen? We were careful. Didn’t she take her birth control? What did it even matter now? It’s done. Don’t get me wrong, I wanted pups with her. But now? Would I be able to give her more being this… this creature that I was?“Hey…” her soft voice tugged me back to

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Joy in Sadness

    Aiden came running to us the moment we stepped into the packhouse, leaving his minder behind. I couldn’t believe how fast he was growing. It was only a few days since I’d gone, but he already looked so much bigger. Maybe it was because he was an alpha. The minder came running, looking for him, saw us and smiled. “Alpha, Luna, you’re back!” She kept a respectable distance, letting us reconnect with our son.“Mommy, Daddy!” Aiden rushed into Connor’s arms, who picked him up and handed him directly to me.I didn’t imagine the hurt on his little face.“My big boy! We missed you so much. Have you been good for us?” I kept my tone light, trying to distract him from the unusual way Connor handled him.“Yeah, I’m a good boy. Are you mad, Daddy?” he asked, pouting. His face held a seriousness that had no business belonging to a child of his age.“What? No, no, of course not,” Connor said quickly. He ruffled little Aiden’s blonde head. “Tell Mommy what you did today. I’m going to see Grandma. O

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Heavy Hearts

    CassandraHome. I should be happy, relieved even, that we were home. That my mate and my pack members were safe. Instead, I felt heavy with dread and a profound sadness. As if amplifying my mood, the sky had turned a somber shade of gray as clouds darkened the horizon.On our way back, the guys had told me everything. I didn’t even need to push. They were more than eager to share with me. How they abducted the vampire, Natalia’s father. It was actually heartbreakingly sweet how devoted and loyal they were to Connor. They would give their lives without question to follow him into danger.Ray told me how Connor got bitten and then how he died when the mine collapsed. He died. A fist closed around my heart hearing those words. I couldn’t wrap my head around it. If Connor had died, who was he now? Was he still the same man I loved, or a stranger wearing his face? The uncertainty left me feeling unbalanced, teetering on the edge of the unknown. He was distant, colder. What I saw in the bat

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Going Home

    ConnorI had to get out of there. This was a disaster. They didn’t deserve this. Cassie… I groaned. The blood… I barely controlled myself from reaching across the table, grabbing Steven’s hand and drinking his blood like a starving beast.My eyes caught my reflection in the restroom mirror. The face looking back at me wasn’t mine. This was what Cassie saw. Glowing red eyes, my face contorted, lips furled back in a snarl.Fuck! Cassie’s face, eyes wide with horror and disbelief. I scared her! The scent of her fear, sharp and wild, should have stopped me. But it excited me more. Blood pumped faster through her veins. It was maddening, the urge to grab her. I wanted to sink my teeth into her neck, drink until…I couldn’t stand to look at my face anymore. My fist slammed into the mirror. It shattered like my self-control. I sank to the tiled floor among the broken glass with my head in my hands.“Alpha?” Ray darkened the doorway. “What the fuck happened?” He saw the shattered mirror, my b
