When she awoke, Krista was confused. She had a splitting headache, and as she looked around the room, she did not immediately recognize it. She pushed herself into a sitting position on the sofa, only to find that her ankle was shackled to the couch leg. Krista squinted as she looked around. The room looked familiar, but she could not remember why.

"Oh, good. You're awake," Justin said as he walked into the room. He stood and studied her for a moment before he continued, "Why are you squintin

    "You need my help?" Hayden questioned. Did someone go missing?" "No, it's nothing like that," Harrison said. Hayden frowned at his brother and pointed to the chair against the bookshelves. He turned his desk chair around to face it, sitting as he said, "Have a seat and explain to me what is going on that you need my help with." "That's part of the problem. I'm not sure what it is or even if there is anything to worry about, and no one can seem to give me a straight answer about it," Harrison admitted as he sat down. "OK. So tell me what you can. In your email, you said there are rumors of threats. Explain what that means," Hayden said, trying to get his brother to focus and possibly remember things he was suppressing for some reason. "That's the problem. I don't know much. I'm not sure if I know anything. Several pack members have come to other ranking members of the pack and me and asked if it is true that we are going to be attacked because of what our father did. I have recei

    At Hayden's house, they were reaching the end of their third movie. More accurately, they were rewatching the first movie since Ian and Darcy had slept through it, and it was their favorite. While the kids watched and finished the last of the s'mores, Haydne and Krista took the chance to explore the changes to the house and discover the extras Harrison and Nyla had added. That meant looking in every drawer, closet, cabinet, and the pantry. Krista found it entertaining when they looked at Hayden's bedroom and found that he had a complete wardrobe in his closet. He had already seen some of it and knew that Nyla was behind it. However, when he looked at what had been put away in his room, it was clear that she had added even more clothing for him. Hayden shook his head and sighed loudly as he looked at the shirts hanging before him. "I want to be mad at Nyla, but I can't be. I would or will wear everything here. It's what I would pick out, and everything is in my size." "Even the sock

    Jerry was still working in the yard when Hayden and Krista came into view. Hayden was carrying one of Alpha Harrison's children in each arm as Krista worked to keep up with him. That made the smile fall from Jerry's face as he furrowed his brow. He hoped nothing had happened; the children were just tired, and everyone was in a hurry to get home and rest. "Denny, Krista," Jerry greeted them with a tip of his head. "Y'all OK?" "We're fine. Just tired, and I think all of us might have overdone things for various reasons," Hayden replied. "I can see two of you really overdid things," Jerry chuckled as she grinned at the sleeping children in Hayden's arms. "Let me get the door for ya. Have either of you been inside since they finished everything?" Krista shook her head and said, "I haven't been in since the former owner moved out. It was… cheerful the last time I was inside." "That's one way of putting it," Hayden snickered as he and Krista followed Jerry to the door. Jerry pushed

    The area around the creek was filled with the squeals of laughter from Ian and Darcy. They were playing a game that mixed hide-and-seek and tag. No matter who found whom, it would always end with the children piled on top of Hayden as he tickled them. Krista had tried to take part in the fun, only to discover that she was still far from healed enough to be that active. She had tried, but quickly developed a headache from moving around so much. Instead, she had taken up the chore of making s'mores for everyone to enjoy when the children were ready to take a break. She was finishing the last one as Hayden and the children started walking over to join her by the campfire. Ian and Darcy trotted ahead of Hayden, laughing as they reached her. "Are you two ready for s'mores?" Krista asked, laughing as she held out the paper plate loaded with sweet treats to the children, then looked past them and smiled at Hayden. "Mmm, I love s'mores," Ian said as he took two, one in each hand. "So d

    Nyla and Harrison arrived back at the pack house to find their new pet duck, Deacon, waiting for them on the porch. He sat on the porch, quacking as he watched the pair approach. “Uh oh,” Nyla said as she giggled. “I wonder if someone got into trouble and was thrown out or if he escaped.” As they stepped onto the porch, Mason threw open the door and looked around frantically until his eyes fell on the duck beside the door. He let out an exaggerated sigh and scooped the duck into his arms. “There you are, little buddy!” Mason exclaimed as he kissed the duck’s head. “I have been looking everywhere for you. How did you get out here?” “We were wondering the same thing,” Harrison said as he and Nyla climbed the steps. “Oh! Hey, guys! Did you have fun?” Mason asked as he plastered a grin on his face. “We did. Did you lose the duck? I know he’s new, but still, we don’t want to lose him,” Nyla said as she reached over to rub under the duck’s bill. “I did not lose him. I temporarily los

    The drive from the pack house to the Blue Mountain pack jail was silent for James and Carl. The men were so far beyond angry that they could not put it into words. They both knew Krista and what Justin had done to her was heinous. He should have been locked away for years, decades even, but instead, they were ordered to release him without any punishment or consequences. It had both of their wolves pacing in their heads, snarling at how wrong it felt. Carl parked the SUV in front of the jail and shut off the engine. The men sat in the vehicle, dreading what they had to do and putting it off as long as they could. "We have to go inside," James grumbled. "Unfortunately," Carl replied. "Man, I hate this too. But we have no choice. It is coming down as a direct order from the Werewolf High Council. If we go against them, they will just come here, release him themselves, and then throw us in jail in his place," James said, shaking his head with frustration. "I don't know about you, bu
