The Nomadic Wolf Chapter 38
VinnyI needed a drink. I picked up my phone to call Sean, frowning when I remembered that he was still radio silent. I scrolled up my contact list and hovered over Roman’s name. After a moment of uncertain hesitation I scrolled up to Luca’s name and tapped the call button.The bar was pumping when I arrived. Everyone in town appeared to be here and it wasn’t even a full moon. I grinned as I found Luca and his twin brother Milo, who were already starting the shots with some friends from school, including (to my distaste) Murdoch.I didn’t need to wonder if Roman had broken things off with Murdoch, it was evident she hadn’t. She was occupying a booth with a mob of she-wolves and deep in conversation unaware that Murdoch was furtively leering at her. Every time her laugh echoed above the rest; he looked over at her in a way that made my hackles rise.I risked a glance over at the booth as she flicked her hair over her shoulder in a boisterous laugh. She wasn’t paying attention to anyon

RomanI watched from the window as Vinny’s wolf disappeared into the trees. When he was out of view I stretched and clicked my back before looking into the hollow of my mind and grinning at Rue. She was practically purring as she rolled around happily.“We are going to have to do that again,” she whispered to me. “And again.”“How about we go to sleep instead?”“I didn’t mean right now. But holy fuck Rome! I think we are going to need to up our cardio if he continues to fuck like that.”“Okay so it was good sex –”“That sex was mind-blowing! I mean for years we had seen him waving around his long, thick weapon. But to actually have it almost rip you apart? He has ruined me you know. We now cannot kill him for the sake of other she-wolves, in fact we should raise a statue in his honour.”“I think that’s a bit dramatic.”“It’s not dramatic.”“The only reason he showed up here was because he felt threatened when I left with Murdoch,” I reminded her as I stepped into the shower to wash hi
The Nomadic Wolf Chapter 40
VinnyI landed in the dirt with a hard thump as Ryan and Luca laughed. This is what I got for demanding to join them on a outside of boundary mission. We were somewhere deep in the woods in the general direction of Vancouver. Miles away from civilisation. Alpha Liam’s extra missions were coming up blank. I was beginning to think that the rogue wolves were being a lot stealthier than we gave them credit for. I was starting to believe that they were trying to bait Liam into making a bad decision. They wanted him to leave the comfort of Blackfern Valley. They were playing him. When the scouts came back with no news, Ryan volunteered to lead and in the grand scheme of things, use himself as a lure. What better bait than the beta of the Blackfern Valley pack?Luca had tagged along for Ryan’s protection – not that he needed it, and I joined because my head had been in a jasmine-scented cloud since leaving Roman’s bed, and I needed something to distract my mind and my cock from intrusive y
The Nomadic Wolf Chapter 1
Vinny Ring! Ring! Ring! My phone began to shrill out on the nightstand, my sisters name flashing angrily against the vibration on the cheap wood. I was dreading this phone call. Not because I didn’t love my sister, of course I loved my sister. I was dreading this phone call because it was a summons. Alpha Liam and Luna Clementine had been slowly dropping hints over the last few months that it was time to end my sabbatical and come home to the pack. It was time to come home, meet my niece and stay for a while. The pack had been raving about my niece, each time I had talked to one of them. Little Lacey! Dark hair and startling green eyes. She must have been at least ten months old by now, and other than the occasional facetime, I hadn’t really met her. I was training to be a pack warrior at eighteen, with the plan to be in my sister and brother-in-law’s personal protective circle. Shortly after my twentieth birthday, however, I raced to my sister and very calmly asked her for an out

Roman I stretched deeply, groaning with appreciation as I felt each vertebrae pop and click throughout my back. I removed my hairband from my hair then flipped my head upside down to place a messy top knot on my head. Nightshift was dragging on at Kempthorne Memorial Hospital. It was four in the morning and not one person had come in to be triaged in the last few hours. Two more hours before I could head home, collapse into the pillowy down of my bed and sleep for eternity. Home time couldn’t come soon enough after pulling a double shift. People thought I was crazy for pulling double shifts all the time. But the truth was I loved being a nurse. Scrap that. I loved being an emergency department nurse. Usually, the emergency room was chaotic with drunken students and their stupid decisions, which gave me a great distraction from my life. Helping the doctors reset dislocated shoulders or pulling artifacts from places they shouldn’t be, was like a drug; addictive adrenaline that coursed
The Nomadic Wolf Chapter 3
Vinny I opened the throttle and leaned forward, hollering out a whoop of delight, which was met with Vali’s yippy howls of excitement. He loved this as much as I did. All I wanted to do was take my helmet off and feel the wind in my hair as I zoomed down the country. I wore a helmet not because it kept my brain inside my skull, but because it really sucks when you get a mouthful of bugs. I tried not to think of my destination too much and just enjoy the open road. I estimated that it would take four days to get back to Blackfern Valley. As I got closer to my dreaded destination, my thought process betrayed me. It kept bringing me back to my final few days in Blackfern Valley. I tried to force my brain to think about my dad, my sister, my niece, God—even my mother who died when I was fifteen. Each time my brain would start to behave, little snippets of unwanted memories and thoughts would intertwine themselves, popping forward and back like little poltergeists of doom. Vali was be
The Nomadic Wolf Chapter 4
RomanI smiled at my patient as I offered him his discharge papers, reminding him to take his medication and directed him out through the emergency waiting area. There was the sudden aroma of peppermint followed by canine and human and a loud bantering conversation that made me freeze in my spot. The girl’s voice was loud and squeaky and even though I hadn’t heard her companion speak yet, I instantly knew who it was.My heart spasmed and pounded erratically as I looked up and took in the stunning specimen standing before me. His blond hair was longer than I had seen it, sitting between his chin and shoulders, flicking at odd angles at the end. His broad shoulders fit snuggly into his leather jacket and his jeans were ripped in a way that was not intentional. His green and silver eyes found mine and I felt as though I had been hit with a blast of frosty air. The malice contempt could not be mistaken for anything else. Rue stood in shock, gaping and unable to make a comment or a sound.
The Nomadic Wolf Chapter 5
VinnyAs soon as I stepped away from the hospital, the aroma of jasmine started to dissipate, making it a little easier to breathe. Each breath in the hospital felt like razorblades to my throat but the further we got from the hospital, the more my lungs opened to receive the oxygen they were so badly struggling for. There was an icy void in my chest, but I had convinced Camille to come to a bar with me, so it was only a matter of time before I filled the chasm. I was starting my third glass of bourbon and I smiled as Camille amicably told me about herself, like this was a real date. As if I wasn’t trying to ignore the gaping hole in my chest. I kept sniffing the air, high on alert trying to detect the hints of jasmine before they arrived. I was convinced my bad luck had just started, that Roman would follow me into this bar, if only to make my life a living hell. “I hate that she looks good,” Vali grumbled, placing unwanted images of Roman in my mind. Even standing in lilac-coloured
