LOGINNone of us could get close enough and it tore me apart.
I can hear our mate and the baby’s heartbeat. How do you know it’s hers? The bond. It’s faint, but it’s there. We need to hurry. What about the others? The child we can hear. I sense only one other. Fuck. A side glance at Seith told me his wolf was having the same conversation. Wolf! Maybe one of our wolves could get the clip from the ropeI heard voices yelling, but they sounded far away and muffled. As if someone had a thick pillow covering my ears. I tried to shake my head to clear the fog, but I couldn’t move.My eyes were open, but everything was dark. I tried to blink, but I couldn’t do that either.I couldn’t move my arms or legs.What the fuck is going on?The human Elder had you magicked by the hottie, Auron drawled.He what?Yes, you heard me. Right after the dinner. We’re currently on an airplane heading for the High Council Headquarters.We are fucking where? Heading where? How did that happen?Auron huffed, Like I said, he had you magicked. Don’t worry, the Alpha you don’t like from Coralridge is currently arguing with him about removing the magick. Apparently, he was supposed to when we got in the limousine, but the Elder, Jamison, lied.What? Gabrie
I glanced down at my watch. I needed to call Sori and let her know I’d be home by morning. Silverpine had jamming signals in their Great Hall, which seemed a little over the top to me, but maybe they’d had issues with someone sharing information they shouldn’t have.There were enough eyes on me from the crowd that I didn’t feel comfortable slipping away just to check in with my mate. Power structures at Silverpine were already fragile; I didn’t need to appear as if I was waiting in the wings to usurp their Alpha.I saw Lucien glance my way. He didn’t have the same level of confidence at the end of the welcome back dinner as he had at the beginning. Probably because that asshole Jamison kept mumbling in his ear all throughout the meal.Kane stood and cleared his throat. “Silverpine. Tonight we welcome back our Pack Leader an
I finished the last of my soup and set my spoon down. It was very odd being the only one at the dining room table. Phillip insisted on going home, Amyra had a headache and begged off joining me, and Bear and Maw left to go back to their Pack earlier today.And Gabriel suddenly left for Silverpine hours ago, with nothing but a kiss on the cheek and a promise to call me later.I knew it had something to do with the High Council’s appearance at the airport based on what I overheard from his call with Sid earlier. With no one answering at Silverpine, I get why he felt he had to leave, but Lucien had to answer for the things that happened. He’d never answer to anyone for what happened to me. Even though I know why it needs to be put to rest, that doesn’t mean I have to be happy about it.KB came into the dining room. “Luna, are you sure I can&rsq
All our heads turned toward Victor. Even though he mumbled under his breath, he mumbled in a room full of wolf shifters. We could hear a pin drop.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Zaraya step back quietly into the corner she previously occupied. Perhaps her presence meant more to Victor than the fury he exhibited upstairs when she arrived.Unfortunately, Jamison’s beady eyes darted from Victor to his companion and back. He made some type of connection, but by the way his eyes narrowed, I’m guessing he was misjudging the reaction. Jamison was the kind of guy who flaunted this beautiful woman as his, relishing in the fact that men found her attractive. I’d bet that’s what he thought Victor’s reaction was all about.If he only knew how deep it ran.Before anyone could comment or react, Rosa appeared in the doorway, wiping her hands on her ever-present dishtowel. Her eyes darted around the large entryway, taking in the addition
I hit the disconnect button and threw my phone down on the seat beside me.“Fuck,” I mumbled under my breath. “Sid’s intel says they crossed into Silverpine about ten minutes ago.”“There’s not much we can do about that,” Seith answered, clenching his fist as he glanced down at his phone screen. “Still no answer from Victor.”“Damn it,” I growled. This whole situation was blowing up in our faces. When Sid called and told me that the Southern Hemisphere’s High Council Rep got off an airplane along with our rep, Timergen, something didn’t feel right.The HC sniffing around Wintermere…Bear and Maw returning to keep up appearances…Rodgrick’s Rep showing up to deal with Lucien—all of it smelled like trouble.Once Bear confirmed my suspicions, I knew I had to step in. No one seemed to be near a phone, so our last resort was to get in a car and he
I blinked.I must have imagined things. Her eyes weren’t silver; they were ice-blue.I exhaled. I must be having flashbacks to all those tales that Gabriel and Bear told me. Then I remembered Soraya’s eyes. They only flashed silver.Then they were her normal icy-blue.I gulped.Could there be a Luna-kissed on the High Council? Could this person become an ally?I thought about sending a text to Gabriel, but that would be jumping the gun. I needed to find out what she knew before I just poured out the tales told to me at Coralridge the short time I was there.The woman looked away, her attention now focused on the other passengers egressing from the limo. She moved out of the way as the next foot emerged from the vehicle. This one was not a well-defined ankle or calf. It was a stumpy, hairy calf. The elder that emerged behind it was equally as stubby and hairy. He almost looked as if he was stuck mid-shift.I he
