“I’m working on getting into their territory. These pups are smart, and they guarded the place like Fort Knox.” Jack Davidson said into the phone as he watch yet another security team go by. It looked like a prison or military base the way they patrolled their territory. They didn’t even try to hide their weapons, and some appeared as wolves while others appeared as human. Russell wouldn’t understand that he was wasting his time. These pups, as he liked to call them, weren’t wet behind the ears. “Well, you’ll get in there and make sure she isn’t there. That brat has a date with her next life. I won’t have them coming here and messing things up for me. It’s your job to haul her back here in the next twenty-four hours or I might just send you to her place.” Russell only gave Jack half of his attention. Ever since Russell learned who the Shadow Pack was and the name of their alpha, Jack was on his list for last chances. The fool lied to him, frequently claiming that Eth
Heather lay on the bed between two very horny wolves. She was a little sore in a good way as they’d taken several turns throughout the night pleasing, playing, and just taking her to pleasurable places. Her excitement excited them for her and each other. She never thought that watch them please each other would drive her beyond the brink of ecstasy. But when Jay came for Mike as Mike drove into her. It was an entirely surreal experience. The thing is, this would never end for her. Gods, she was in trouble, but she didn’t care. Both men took her, and both bit her. She was their first now and forever. They’d even announced the traditional words before their Alpha, and Beta. She belonged in a triad mating. Heather couldn’t stop the needs they pulled from her. This mating heat was far more potent that she expected. Heather thought they were both sleeping, but she felt a hand slip between her thighs, caressing her, stroking her. Instinctively, her thighs parted and in the dark, M
Rose watched Ty get ready for bed. She had to admit he was not what she expected. If she listened to her father, Ty was a wet behind the ears pup. He wasn’t anything of the sort. He planned everything and didn’t go off half crazed. Unlike her father. He must be foaming at the mouth by now. “Ty, are you sure you want to speak to my father face to face?” Rose couldn’t understand why he wanted to poke the bear like this. “Look, I won’t force you to come. I would rather you stay here for safety. But I can’t stay in hiding from your father. I have to meet him in public and eventually he’ll make a mistake. If not today, then maybe tomorrow. My uncle still has his people investigating him. So, if I give your father someone to watch, he’ll miss the people doing the work.” “I understand the logic, but there’s nothing predictable about my father than his love of partying. The more twisted the party, the better.” Rose saw the brochure again in her mind’s eye. That wa
Ty and Ben stood with several of their men as the town hall auditorium filled with people. This was something that his uncle prepared. A shot across Russell Angles midsection. Ty feared Rose was correct and this would end up in disaster. Everyone knew it would paint a target on his back. But Russell would find out the hard way that he wasn’t a pup that was untried and still wet behind the ears. His men stood there at attention. Ty didn’t insist on it. In fact, he hadn’t said a thing about it. They came up with the idea all their own. Russell wanted to see what an excellent reputation did for people. He’d find out what it looked like today. When men followed you because they liked and respected you, it was far different from those who followed you for the benefits of knowing you. “How are you holding up?” His uncle, Roger Higgins, came to stand beside him and spoke only to him. “I still say you were a fool to kidnap her, and what were you thinking when you mated with
Ty dared Russell before one and all to admit he didn’t care about traditions or respecting others. He wanted Russell to threaten him and Rose. Russell wanted a war because he couldn’t handle competition. Ty would be in that competition. “There was nothing traditional about you kidnapping my daughter and forcing yourself on her.” “Well, clearly you weren’t there, if that’s what you believed happened. Because I forced nothing on your daughter. I didn’t need to as soon as my hand touched her back outside of the Post Office. We both knew we’d be mates. Or have you forgotten when the fated mate meets, they go into heat? We can test our blood for the hormones that cause that.” Ty watched Russell’s face closely as he stood toe to toe with him now. Ty was a good three inches taller than Russell, but Russell had the bulk of his build on his side. Though Ty wondered if that bulk was fat rather than muscle. None of Russell’s men appeared to have seen the inside of a tr
“What’s going on?” Rose came down from her rooms to a horrendous alarm. “Luna. Please stay calm, but the perimeter has been breached. I have sent a group to intercept the intruders.” Rose couldn’t remember his name. He handles all the electronic security. Ty insisted on a cross between traditional and high-tech security. Right now, Rose was not a fan of the high-tech side of it. “Do we know who it is? Where’s Ty? Is he back yet?”Why did they feel the need to pay her on the head and give her only half the information? It wasn’t right. “His car reported they are twenty minutes from arrival.” “That’s too far away. I want to know who it is. Make sure those send to intercept know not to kill on sight. I’m sure Ty will want any information they have and how they broke through security.” The wolf stopped in his tracks. “Luna, are you saying I don’t know my job?” “One. Don’t take that tone with me. Two. They broke through, which means they knew or fou
Sure enough, when Heather entered the large kitchen, there was Jules covered in flour and other ingredients baking like a madwoman. The evidence that she’d been at it for a while was cooling on the counter. “Jules? Hon? What’s up?” Heather knew to approach with caution. Jules was high strung even if she didn’t want to admit it. Baking and hiding in the kitchen was her way of avoiding something. But at least she baked well. If she didn’t, they’d be in real trouble. “Ben is an insane, manipulative dog with no sense of self preservation. He and Ty left about four hours ago to bloody well confront him in front of the town leaders. Can you believe it? Ugh… where did I put the pecans?” “Over there. Do you think it was a bad idea?” “Don’t you? Come on, Heather Russell wants us hunted down and killed for sport. What do you think he’ll do with them in arm’s reach? Do you think witnesses will stop him?” Jules poured several pecans into a zipper bag, squeezed the air o
Ty listened to the reports as they came in. They just left the town moments ago after taking possession of several more of the tracks of land Russell put up for sale. Ty didn’t care about the cost. In fact, they sold most of the land to him for pennies on the dollar. Russell had to be in desperate straights to need money this much. But Ty’s mind was torn from business and now focused on the fact that his mate and his pack were under attack. He couldn’t do anything from here. Ben sat beside him, looking like he would shift and run there if it meant he’d get there faster. Ty would be right by his side if that were the case. Whoever they were, they were in for a world of hurt. His wolves now had a reason to fight and defend something more than each other. Five minutes later, Micky, the pack’s security specialist, reported what they found, and their response to it. That made him furious. The hunters were present now in the region and Russell turned them on Ty
