Chapter 12
Lucas
Armed with nothing but the description Zane had extracted from our warrior and the directions Maggie had given me, I made my way across the border. It took time to pick up my mate’s scent of apples and cinnamon because of the need to run along the border to find where she had crossed. The scent was faint, only detectable because of my heightened abilities as an Alpha. It felt like I had been meandering along for hours, moving slowly to avoid losing the scent, when I finally came to a small house.
I shifted and dressed quickly in the clothing I had carried with me. The house smelled and sounded empty, but if my mate were truly an assassin, then I wouldn’t be surprised if she were skilled in stealth. Cautiously, I moved toward the house, peeking in the wind

SeleneOnce we had escaped Luna Diane’s castle like home, the rest of my mission had gone off without a hitch. I had delivered the child to the priestesses and gotten answers about breaking my mate bond. Unfortunately, the answers weren’t ones I had wanted. The priestesses had informed me the only way to break a mating bond once it was sealed, was for one of us to die. There was a bright side to the information though. The mate bond could be broken by even a momentary death, which meant that if I found a way to be revived I could solve both of my problems. I wouldn’t be impacted by the Alpha’s death if I were the one to die and be revived. I wanted to spend time w

SeleneMy mother was freezing me out while lavishing praise on Lucas as we sat around the dining table. My father looked at me with sympathy and shrugged as my mother prattled on about how wonderful it was to have an Alpha in the house. I wanted to vomit. I hated that my family was taking to the man I was meant to kill so well. I ate in silence as my family fawned over him. Lucas had pulled a typical Alpha stunt, buying a lavish meal for everyone and having it catered in my parent’s home. I picked at the food before me for awhile before I couldn’t take anymore of the way my family was reacting to my mate. There were other things I needed to tend to, plans to be made so I could continue on with my life. I excused myself and made my way down the hall to my childh

I wasn’t certain how long I would be stuck with the Alpha, but I knew it would take time for Rory to find the appropriate voltage and for us to scope out a location that wouldn’t draw attention. There was one thing still bothering me as I walked into my parent’s home and made my way to my childhood bedroom. I had been told that Lucas was intending to kidnap the King’s daughter when I had been assigned to kill him. Even with the mate bond, it didn’t make sense to me that he would have gone through all the trouble to find me if that were still his plan. I decided I needed to talk to him. All thoughts of a conversation fled from my mind when I entered my room to find Lucas sprawled out in my bed.

“Aunt Lenie!” I heard the girls squeal, causing me to open my eyes just before they landed on me with a thud. “Good morning, girls.” I smiled once I recovered from having the wind knocked out of me. Glancing aro

EJI cautiously made my way to the King’s private chambers. I could hear my uncle destroying furniture from down the hall. He had summoned me to him to handle a problem and it was clear from outside the room, it was a massive one. As an assassin, very little scared me, but the thought of facing my uncle’s wrath had my stomach twisting into knots. It wouldn’t matter that I was his nephew, nobody was safe from the King. I waited for the sounds of destruction to subside before knocking on the door. “Enter!” The king boomed from the other side of the door. “You summoned me, uncle?&rdq

Selene Things between Lucas and I had reached new levels of awkwardness after giving into our base desires the night before. He sulked around the apartment, flipping through the few magazines I had and channels on the television. I remained seated on my bed, looking for new constructions in secluded areas. I needed to find a place that had live wires but was far enough of the beaten path to avoid interruption by a passerby. I had been at it for hours, searching for permits and new utility connections, when I finally found the perfect place. I shot the address to Rory in text and dropped my phone on the bed. &

Lucas I had been sitting on the couch with Daniel watching a football game on television when a blinding pain ripped through me. Selene had done a fantastic job of shutting me off through the mate bond in our short time together, but this was something different. The bond was shattering, the shards tearing my soul to pieces as it did. Hades pushed forward, partially shifting my face to my wolf form, and released a mournful howl. I clutched my chest, trying to hold back the pain and collapsed forward, falling to the floor. I held myself up on one hand, the other clawing at my chest as if I cou

“Please don’t leave me.” I couldn’t believe the words had left my mouth, or that Maggie agreed to stay. Even the darkness in the immediate aftermath of Selene’s death hadn’t been as comforting as the idea of a friend who knew what I was going through. Maybe it had been weakness breaking through the cracks of my powerful Alpha exterior, but I knew I couldn’t keep it together without her. I laid in my bed, unable to sleep, feeling torn by the request I had made of Maggie before we went to our separate rooms. I had never shown weakness like that to anyone, not even my mate.
