Jace

I had known Marcus Voss for most of my life.

He’d taught me how to throw a punch when I was twelve, how to spot a threat before it reached me, and why a future Alpha should never turn his back on someone he didn’t trust.

Apparently, he’d forgotten to mention what to do when that someone was him.

“Marcus?” my father repeated over the phone.

I stood in Headmaster Peters’s office, staring at the photograph of Professor Bennett beside the silver-ringed stranger.

“That’s his vehicle,” I said. “

  • The Alpha’s Puck Bunny   Chapter 86

    JaceThere was something seriously wrong with a world where my girlfriend couldn’t eat a cheeseburger without somebody threatening to kidnap her.I stared at Ava across the kitchen table.She’d gone pale after describing the words she’d seen above that steel door.Guardian Access Required.I didn’t like those words.Not even a little.“What do you mean they’ve been waiting for you?” I asked.Ava looked at me. “I don’t know, Jace. It’s not like they handed me an invitation.”Normally, I would’ve laughed.Not tonight.Headmaster Peters closed his laptop.“Nobody is going anywhere near that facility until we understand what we’re dealing with.”Ava opened her mouth.“No,” her father said.“I haven’t said anything!”“You were about to.”She folded her arms.“Everyone keeps assuming I’m going to do something reckless.”I raised an eyebrow.She turned toward me.“Don’t.”I lifted both hands.“Didn’t say a word, sweetheart.”“You were thinking it.”Unfortunately, she was right.Again.⸻My f

  • The Alpha’s Puck Bunny   Chapter 85

    AvaDear Moon Goddess,I would officially like to file a complaint.When I turned eighteen, I had three wishes.One, finally get my wolf.Two, make the hockey team.Three, have Jace Walker fall madly in love with me.Okay, that last one was complicated because I also wanted to shove his hockey stick somewhere uncomfortable whenever he called me Puck Bunny.But look at me now!I have a wolf. I’m on the hockey team. And Jace Walker is my boyfriend.You would think I’d be living my happily ever after.Instead, I’m investigating a three-hundred-year-old imprisoned girl, a secret society, and a bunch of missing wolves.And now I have a missing girl talking inside my head.Seriously, Moon Goddess?Couldn’t you have given me something normal? Like a boyfriend who forgets our anniversary? Or a roommate who steals my shampoo?Actually, scratch that. I don’t want either of those things.Especially the boyfriend problem. Jace is finally behaving himself, and I’d like to keep him that way.Also,

    AvaI had spent most of my life wishing people would notice me.Now strangers were sending me photographs of missing girls while I was trying to eat pizza.I missed being invisible. Just a little.“Seventeen years ago,” Jace said, studying my phone. “That means someone knew where the door was before you were born.”Corey leaned across the table. “What door?”“The kind you don’t want opened,” Sara said, taking one look at my face.I turned the screen away. The girl in the photograph had a gap between her front teeth and a nervous smile. She looked like someone who’d been told to stand still while an adult took a picture. Not someone who’d volunteered for an ancient ritual.“I’m going to find Reynolds,” I said.Jace stood with me. “We’re going to your father first.”I opened my mouth.“Not because you can’t handle yourself,” he added. “Because someone knows exactly where we are and keeps sending you messages.”I glanced at my half-eaten pizza.“Fine. But I’m taking this.”Corey slid the

    AvaThere are certain people you expect to betray you.Girls who smile to your face and call you fat behind your back.Boys who pretend they’re joking when they’re actually being cruel.And apparently, ancient secret societies determined to ruin your life.Your combat instructor shouldn’t be one of them.“Coach Reynolds?” I repeated.Jace nodded.I stared at him.“You’re kidding.”“Wish I was.”“But he helped me learn how to defend myself.”“I know.”“He spent twenty minutes yesterday explaining how to escape a stronger opponent’s grip.”Jace’s jaw tightened.“Which means he knows exactly what you’ve been taught.”I looked toward the combat building.Suddenly, every training session felt different.Every correction.Every demonstration.Every time Coach Reynolds had told me to trust my instincts.Lyra stirred.Watch him.Believe me, I plan to.Jace reached for my hand.“My father’s coming to Blackwood. Until then, you’re staying with me.”I raised an eyebrow.“Excuse me?”He sighed.“

    JaceI called my father three times.Three.Every call went straight to voicemail.By the fourth attempt, I was seriously considering throwing my phone into the nearest wall.“Jace, you’re going to crack the screen.”I looked at Ava.“Good. Maybe it’ll start working.”She took the phone from my hand before I could do something expensive.“Your dad isn’t answering because he’s probably driving.”“Or because somebody’s already gotten to him.”The moment I said it, I regretted it.Ava’s expression changed.Not because she was frightened for herself. She was worried about me.That somehow made everything worse.“Call my dad,” she said. “He might have another way to reach Alpha Michael.”I stared at her.Right.Headmaster Peters had direct communication with the neighboring Alphas. My father had once told me those emergency channels were harder to intercept.Why hadn’t I thought of that?Probably because I was too busy imagining Marcus Voss betraying my family and my father walking into a

Marcus has driven it for years.”Dad went quiet.Then he said, “Stay at Blackwood. I’ll handle this.”I knew that tone.Alpha Michael Walker wasn’t asking.“He’s been around our family since I was a kid.”“I know, son.”“He had access to our house. Our records. Ava’s security arrangements.”Ava’s hand tightened around mine.That last part was what made my stomach turn.Marcus had helped organize security for our date at the lakeside lodge.He knew where we’d bee
