LOGINAfter being sent to work for the Alpha of the Dawn Stalker pack, Sutton was given to the pack's brutal Beta as his mate. After killing him in self-defense, she escapes her abusive mate only to find herself in the hands of another Alpha. An Alpha with a reputation more ruthless than the Dawn Stalkers who also wants to claim her as his. With the wounds of her last mate freshly covering old scars, she is reluctant to trust his intentions and fights to keep her newly earned freedom. Lucas, Alpha of the Ironpaw Pack, comes face to face with his fated mate — battered, bloody, and close to death. While treating her injuries, he can tell she's not a typical lycan. In fact, she insists that she isn't a lycan at all, only a meer human. But Lucas and his wolf don't believe that. As they get to know each other, Lucas becomes more and more convinced whatever has kept Sutton from finding her wolf is linked to her family's mysterious past. Before they can get answers, Lucas must protect Sutton from her previous pack. While Sutton believes Alpha Anders is coming after her as revenge for murdering his Beta, Lucas thinks his interest stems from something else. Does Alpha Anders suspect there is more to Sutton than your typical human? What is so special that he would risk a war over her? Can Sutton accept Lucas as her mate and find her wolf before it's too late?
View MoreI paced the room as the media crew finished setting up the equipment. The deadline for Osric was closing in. If he didn’t call, which no one expected him to, we would be announcing to the world that he was responsible for the death of my father. We were going to expose his darkest secrets. I should have had doubts. I should have felt some amount of guilt about destroying my own grandfather’s reputation, but I didn’t.Every time I was forced to remember the carnage of the battlefield… Every time I felt the burn of those missing tethers… I became more determined than before.“Calm down, princess,” Lucas told me, stopping my pacing. “We have this all planned out.”“But Hank isn’t here yet,” I replied. “We still don’t know how Osric will react. Or Anders and Nomi for that matter. You heard Raphe, he stressed about how important timing is for the plan to work. If Anders leaves the capital, we lose this advantage.”“It’ll be okay, Sutton,” my father assured me. “Soloman just spoke with Hank
“Thank you, Lana,” Raphe said. “That will be all for now.”Raphe stood and walked to the conference room. Lucas and I followed, telling Tarvyn to keep an eye on Lana.“Is that the information you needed for this plan of yours?” I asked.“Yes,” Raphe replied. “It’s what I expected. I couldn’t imagine Alpha Derion even entertaining the idea of working along side my father.”“Did I hear someone mention Alpha Derion?” Luna Kimo had entered the room with Korinna. “What does he have to do with anything?”“Good morning, Luna,” I greeted.She almost seemed nervous at the mention of this mysterious Alpha’s name. We gave her a quick update as we waited for the other Alphas to arrive.“Alpha Derion and I have crossed paths before,” Kimo told us. “He’s a brute of a man who was less than impressed to find out I lead my pack alone. He, in so many words, made it clear he believed I was the downfall of our kind and that a male should put me in my place. I was worried for a time that he would try to i
I woke from a deep sleep as the first rays of sunlight started to creep through the window. For a few short moments, all that ran through my mind was the feel of Lucas at my back and his arm draped over my waist. But all too soon, reality of the day came rushing back. I had to admit, it wasn’t as overwhelming as it had been the day before. The cry had done some good. So had my time with Lucas. The memories still hurt, but they weren’t as heavy.I gently lifted Lucas’ arm and slid to the edge of the bed. Throwing my feet over the side, I sat up and stretched out my very sore muscles. Wincing when the motion tugged on the scabs along my side and chest. I yelped as an arm shot around my waist and yanked me backward back onto the mattress.“Not yet,” Lucas growled, burying his face in my neck.“We can’t,” I told him. “We have to meet Raphe and the pack leaders. And we both could use a good shower and clean up.”Lucas grumbled.“You sleep a little longer,” I instructed. “I’ll shower first.
Whatever Raphe had in mind included Korinna, who wasn’t in the apartment. And I insisted that whatever plan we came up with would include the other pack leaders. It was already so late at night and everyone was mourning the loss of their pack members. So, I put my foot down and told Raphe and Soloman we would pick back up in the morning. After they left, Sutton didn’t seem too pleased that I had kicked them out but I didn’t care. Even Rhonen’s possessiveness and protectiveness had him ready to put her in her place.“Princess, you need a break,” I told her. “You need to sleep.”“I need to finish this,” she argued. “I need to get a plan in place. I need to stop Osric before anyone else gets hurt.”“You can’t do that if you’re running on empty,” I replied. “You’ve barely stood still in the last twenty-four hours. You aren’t doing anyone any favors by running yourself ragged.”“I can’t sleep,” Sutton snapped, her voice shaky as tears started to well. “If I sleep… if… if I stop, then I see
“What… I can’t. We’re on our way to chambers now,” Soloman told me frantically. “What’s going on?”I was already up off the couch, hand pushing through my hair as I tried to figure out what to do. Which was nothing. There was nothing I could do from this far away.“You said there was no way they wo
We followed Luna Kimo to a marina about twenty minutes from Korinna’s cottage and boarded a private yacht. I’d been mind-linking with Jaden and messaging Max the entire time getting strategies in place. Doing anything to feel like I was doing something. I didn’t like that I still didn’t have the de
It was still dark when we landed in Port Sever. The manager of the marina was already waiting for us. His usual grisly, serious face greeting us at the top of the pier. Arms crossed over his chest as he scanned our group as we hauled our things up the dock.“I’ve got the tour bus parked at the gate
I moved to go to her but she came to me first.“Soloman, it’s me, Sutton,” she spoke into the phone. “Is Raphe with you?”“He is,” Soloman replied.“How is he?”Soloman’s voice lowered. “Nomi was standing with Osric the whole time,” he explained. “I think it’s sinking in that they’ve been working t
