I lay on my cot watching them without lifting my head.
The door swung inward. Four elders entered. Selwyn first with a leather bag.
Marius came next, arms full—two shallow iron bowls balanced in one hand, a wrapped bundle of herbs in the other.
Rathus had a case of chalk sticks and a copper dish with a tight lid.

The nursery didn’t feel right. I know Halia gave me her suggestions as a mother and grandmother, but the more I looked at it, something felt off.I couldn’t pinpoint it, though.I dragged the new glider Gabriel bought for me, and the baby swing, and the stroller, and the car seat, into the center of our room so I could look at Kali’s room without all the extra clutter.“Ah,” I sighed. “That’s it. The crib should be on that wall and the dresser where the crib is.”The crib was on wheels, so that was easy enough to roll out of the way. Once that was done, I lifted one corner of the bureau and inched it out, then walked to the opposite side of the waist-high set of drawers to repeat the process.I would move it little by little.Just as I had the second corner lifted, Elara swept into the room and shrieked like only Elara could.“What are you dooo-ing!” she cried, rushing over to me as if I’d fallen down a cliff. “Are you alright?

Life was relatively quiet since the New Moon Dinner.Too quiet. It felt like the calm before the storm, but I knew the storm was right at our doorstep.Bear’s wolves had settled in without incident. Bear and Maw themselves adjusted easily to life outside their frigid lands. After the email exchange with the High Council, they decided to make the trip back to Wintermere after the dinner with the other Packs, just to keep up appearances.They were due back in a couple of days. Maw wanted to be here before Sori went into labor.Sid hadn’t uncovered where the HC spies were around town yet, but he was mostly sure it didn’t come from inside the Pack. Unless they didn’t use Coralridge servers for communication. He said that wouldn’t be unusual to use something like public WiFi to further mask their back and forth.

The workers quickly pocketed their cash and practically ran out of the villa at the end of their workday. It was the start of the weekend and I’m sure they wanted to go spend it much faster than they earned it.I was thoroughly impressed by their workmanship. I couldn’t tell exactly where I’d put the hole in the wall. Bina would be pleased when she got back from the ragtag coven meeting she was now a part of.Her magick was getting stronger. Still nothing new on the scrying front, but that was what it was. She even paired up with one of her friends and tried, the crystal still pointed right to where we were.I grabbed a couple of beer bottles from the fridge and made my way back out to the patio. The sun neared the horizon, casting the sky in reds, yellows, and oranges.I handed a bottle to the old grizzled wolf shifter, Lin

I sat down at the table while the applause still roared for my lovely mate, whose cheeks were a bright red from embarrassment.I purposely didn’t tell her about the speech, letting her think the only fanfare was the receiving line. It was a simple speech, but it still made her blush.Mission accomplished.We sat in tables of six in one section of the room, leaving the rest for mingling and dancing once the dinner was over. Nothing elaborate, just enough time for the Twelve to get their time in with our new Luna, and each other.Halia intentionally seated Kane’s party with us primarily to keep them away from the prying Alphas of the Twelve so they could at least enjoy dinner before the grilling started.“I’m glad Rodgrick didn’t push it and try to tag along,” I began as the servers swarmed the

This was it, the moment I’d been dreading for weeks.Maybe he won’t recognize me.I wanted to hold on to that thought, but knew the likelihood of that was slim to none.I heard Seith call out. “Kane, welcome to Coralridge.”“Seith, good to see you, man,” the deep voice replied.It was then I realized it wasn’t Victor I should have dreaded; it was Kane. I remembered that voice from inside the SUV when they snatched me off the street.He was there.I swallowed hard.I wanted to run, plead illness, go to bed.But I couldn’t do any of those things without calling more attention to myself.“May I introduce you to our Alpha and

I smoothed the front of my gown, trying to get my pulse under control. This was my first official event as a hostess and Luna.Everyone had arrived by noon, but settled into their rooms for the afternoon to rest before the party. Except for Silverpine, they were arriving right before the festivities started.I’d been practicing my ‘nice to meet you’ expression for when Victor passed through the receiving line. I decided to go with a black wig to completely change my hair from the blonde waif that he rescued or the red dye the matron left at the safehouse.Elara offered to make me an herbal tea to help me relax, but I was too close to my due date for me to feel comfortable ingesting anything.I reached for my moonstone jewelry in the safe, remembering when Gabriel gave it to me. I’d bought him some moonstone cufflinks around the same time. Neither of us knew the significance of the moonstone and the Luna-kissed at the time.I

I woke up feeling refreshed, that same energy from when I came in from Coralridge’s Bonding Ceremony.Except the problem was, I wasn’t waking up in my bed, next to my mate.I was in my office, with the door locked and a guard posted outside, not letting anyone in.I heard Van

My eyes weren’t even open, but they hurt from the light hitting my lids. I went to move my arm over my face, but it felt like lead. Moving it even a little bit, hurt my muscles.What the heck?I finally got my arm over my eyes and peeked out from under it. The sun was high in the sk

Pulling a couple of bags from my closet, I tossed clothes in randomly. I didn’t care about matching items, jeans, sweats, hoodies, shirts, and other incidentals.After Sam left the Pack House, I pulled up the forecast, and he was right. This driving rain was going to turn into freezing rai
