View MoreWhy did Asta, her beloved twin sister, have to die here, of all the godforsaken places in the
United States?Maybe she needed a safe silent place to hide from her wicked husband Marcus's brutality,after the forced marriage, Marcus had always hit her and showed her no sign of love.But here in her safe haven, Asta wasn't safe eitherBecause now she had ended up deadAkila saw a figure who looked like her cousin Thaddeus, walking into the woods in his wolfform, but she hoped she was mistakenHe couldn't be so angry with her enough for him to shape shift this close to Silver Town andrisk alerting the Black Lycaon's pack that some brown Lycaons had slipped into theircommunityThere standing in front of the Silver Town Tarvern's door, Akila wanted to turn her back andgo back home but she had to find her sister's killer she couldn't turn back nowShe jarred open the tavern's heavy door, the squaling of the rusty hinges irritated her.Immediately she entered, Five big bearded men all sitting at a table turned to look at herand at once she felt her cover had been blown, that they could see through her disguise.She adjusted the faux eyeglass she was putting on back to its place, cursing at how theykept sliding down her nose.The Cowboy hat she picked up at a retail shop earlier that day had her head half swallowed,which made her look like a little kid who ran off with her dad's cowboy hat.Yellow glass pendant light hanging from brass rods up above quickly illuminated tables madefrom dark oak trees and a long polished barWooden fan blades which were spinning slowly spun up above the room to circulate air,Filled with the smell of Black Lycaons. Her nerve endings shivered with new awareness.Vintage old mirrors covering the back wall behind the room bore mute witness to the
happenings in the place, which she suspected they had for decades.If only these mirrors could tell stories, she wondered how much stories the mirrors would tellif they had captures all that had happened since the bar's existence.Just then, another bearded man who was bending with his knee beneath the lip of the barsuddenly stood to his full six-foot-five height.He was holding a glass and dish towel which almost slipped from his hand as he saw her, hecontinued to stare taking in every inch of her.Then he made a little twice with his mouth, his lips turned up at the corners a little.Deep wrinkle lines were on his dark skin and his black hair was shaggy extended to hisshoulders, which gave him the perfect appearance of a rugged mountain man, who wasunused to civilized gatherings.What interested her most was that he was a black Lycaon like most of the bearded men whostared at her earlierShe thought the tavern would be run by humans but most of their customers would beLycoan just like the bar back at her home town.Good day miss, what will you have? He asked, his voice warm and welcoming .She didn't expect a welcoming greeting from him because their kind did not welcomestrangers venturing into their midst, especially not humans and this was tavern wasexclusively for Black Lycaon, she hesitated for some seconds.Ma'm?I'll like a bottle of water pleaseShe had planned to sound tough, to match the energy of the tavarnShe had planned to be someone different , with her brown hair dyed black and her highheeled boots to give the impression that the was taller than she really was, more to fit in likethem.She put on blue contacts lens to hide her green eyes, which helped hide her eyes perfectly,yet she still felt like Akila, a triplet to Asta, with very little difference in appearance, excepther eyes were much greener and her hair much brown, almost golden than her sister's hairhad been.Had her voice given up her identity?The bartender wore a small smile on his face, she thought the small smile had to be
because she was a stranger who had walked into a wolves den alone , without anyprotection than because he had figured out who was behind the disguise.She hated herself for not disguising her voice better, but the bartender warm smile gave hera sense of security which could be false and if it was false, it could be the death of her if shewas not careful.The bartender gave her a cold bottle of water and a glass cup.Are you new in town?I'm just passing through she said while paying for the water.The name is Eric ma'm.Let me know when you need anything else, just holler at me“Thanks.”She wasn't the type of lady to holler for a drink.She scanned the room and chose a table that was in the farther most corner of the room,half hidden in the shadows.Although all of them could see in the dark as well as she could, this table would keep heraway from traffic flowing in and out of the tarven.She hoped she'd looked innocent, not worthy of any one's attention and she hoped most ofall that she looked like a humanAkila looked at the doorAccording to her source, Dustin silverback– Asta's widowed mate should arrive here anytimesoon.One of the men stood up from his seat and gave Eric some cash.
The man gave Akila a smile and returned to his tableHe looked small for a Black, stocky, had a bland brown hair, had amber eyes, his cloth with acoating of dust, he had a round baby face.His face was soft, looking sweet like a beta wolf.Particles of dirt covered his cheek and he wiped them off with the sleeve of his shirt.His eyes still stating at her, he dust off the dust on his sleeve and took a gulp of his beer.Eric came over to Akila and gave her the cash.Luke Anderson paid for your water, ma'mHe is a worker at the silver mine, which explained his slightly rough appearanceBut he looks really good whenever he his dressed up.Eric gave her a wink, and returned to the bar.Should she turn down luke's offer?On the other hand, if he was interested in her, maybe she could discover the truth quicker.“Thank you,” she mouthed to Luke Anderson and linked at him, his chest swelled.The other guys started ribbing him in low voices. The tips of Luke's ears turned crimson.Her stomach growled with the thought that Asta had the courage to mate a Black, especiallywhen she already had a mate.She'd said she wanted to find herself, and she did.Six feet below the groundStill Akila could not help feeling it was her fault, that if she'd replaced Asta's place backhome or even flee with her, she might have keep her safe and alive.But what about their parents?She couldn't have absconded leaving them behind, not with her dad on a wheelchair, but hell
she hadn't been able to protect her parent either.They were also murdered anyway.She tamped down a shudder, feeling bad that she hadn't been able to stop any of it.But once she learned about what happened to her sister Asta and dealt justice to themurderer, Akila was going in search of her brother and their uncle– cursing both of them forleaving the family behind.Dustin let out a muffled cuss word while holding his breath. He had intended to tell her pack where she was as a gesture of goodwill, but now he had every intention of crushing the brute who was responsible for the women's suffering. "I inquired as to what she meant, and her response was, You know, get a hobby or something."It was her intention to flee. I didn't become aware of that until after she had been gone for a few weeks. Lowell covered the fact that she had fled, most likely in the hope that he would locate her before anybody else found out that she had permanently abandoned him."Akila, he will not harm you again in any way. I promise. Who is Anton, then, if Marcus was your pack leader and Lowell was Asta's mate?Akila's eyes became much more open. "My dear brother. What do you know regarding him?"Your leader told Deputy Sheriff Smith from Green Valley that he was looking for you," "Anton's a pack leader?, Where?”"Portland, Oregon."; "Portland.""Did you tell him that I
Dustin's entire body went numb as he stared at the letter that Asta had written. He couldn't believe what he was reading. He read the note once more, this time concentrating on deciphering the underlying message that she was trying to convey.He got up from his seat and left the dining room after finishing his meal. How was it possible for him to be so oblivious? The woman he'd mated had feelings for someone else? Who? He'd kill him.Dustin couldn't recall entering his office or sitting down at his desk when he got there. He stared at the letter for a moment, and then, grabbing it in his fist, he yelled, "Lucas!"Lucas strolled into the office while wearing a bewildered expression on his face."Get Akila in here right away."Lucas's brows furrowed, and he hastily nodded before shutting the door behind him.Mike came in a minute later, his eyes widened as he walked in. "Dustin, what's the matter? Lucas claims that you are prepared to murder someone. Do you want me to listen in on the c
Thank goodness he had reliable brothers.Lucas, his laughter gleaming in his eyes, shook his head. "Should we tell everyone on guard duty that Akila sometimes goes out at night?"Mike furrowed his brows."What did I miss exactly last night?"Even though Dustin was sure Mike was aware, he pressed him for additional information.Which he had no intention of doing. He started to say something, but Mike and Lucas had already turned from the living room to the front door. Dustin turned around and saw Akila with her legs and feet exposed and her hands locked as if in prayer, his long flannel shirt going to her thigh.He started staring at her hair, transfixed by the enticing waves.He could not take his eyes off of her gorgeous, silky hair.Her hair is even more crimson than her sister's, yet not nearly as golden as the woman's in his dream. How could he not see that she was the one he was meant for? Because Asta lied about having a dream and because she changed their names.“Ahem.” The magic
Like Mike does when he's too exhausted to sleep, sleepwalking. Mike claims she made a lot of noise while sleeping I was wondering where she was going," Lucas said. That's why I let her out of the guest room, he said.Dustin quietly put the rifle away again. Akila made her way to the bed cautiously.His preferred sleeping position. His mouth became very dry. She drew back the duvet.After returning Lucas's gaze, the latter shrugged. "Mike sleepwalks, and the doctor warned us not to wake him up. I suppose we can can say the same thing for Akila."Dustin rolled over to make room for Akila to enter the bed. She closed her eyes as he pulled the blanket up to her chin."Guess you have guard duty for the rest of the morning."Lucas walked out with a sly grin on his face and locked the door behind him.Akila couldn't recall much besides leaping onto Crassus's back to protect Asta's face from Crassus's fist. Crassus's blow to Akila's head, followed by the sting of his retaliatory twist of her
WHERE IN THE WORLD HAD DUSTIN LEARNED THE NAME OF HER BROTHER? Akila wanted to ask, but she couldn't . It is preferable to leave Dustin unsure of who her pack leader was. Did he have any idea where Anton was at the moment? Perhaps Laura would, provided Akila asked innocuously enough. Right.Akila feigned to be asleep when Dustin talked to her. She felt compelled to depart and seek revenge for her sister's death. There was a growing possibility that Marcus would find her if she stayed any longer. Dustin would probably tell the leader what happened to Akila and her sister. Honorable bearing.Marcus would then make her go back to her house.Two hours later, Dustin left the room and, for once, didn't leave a guard inside. After getting out of bed, she began to pace. She needed to find out if her folks were still alive. But how could she accomplish anything when he constantly guarded her?Up the stairs, someone ran. "Are you staying with her for a couple of hours?"Bryan enquired.“Yeah."
Dustin started to speak, but stopped when Mike yelled from the bottom of the stairs, "Keep it quiet down there, that's a lot of noise". To her suprise, Dustin walked over to her and touched her forehead before feeling her cheek with the back of his hand. Clearly, there is no fever. Although he appeared to be somewhat relieved, the furrow in his brow did not disappear. By tomorrow morning I think I'll be just about ready to run laps.A slight grin appeared on his face. Couldn't say that I'm shocked if that happened. He didn't move, just hovered over her, leaving her to wonder what he was up to. He took a quick peek at her still-full water cup. Once again, he was staring directly at her. Inquiringly, "Do you need anything?" Nope, thank you.All right, all good then. He opened his mouth to speak, then closed them again. Whatever it was that bothering him, it was now beginning to bother her. He was standing motionless on the carpet by the bed, and she guessed he was there to questi
