Elowen Hartwell pushes through the double doors of the recovery ward, her chest heaving as heavy sweat coats her dark skin beneath her thick wool coat. Her heart hammers against her ribs like a trapped wild beast. The sheer terror of Calloway Sterling’s possessive grip still lingers on her body, making her skin burn where his hand had pinned her waist against the elevator wall. She glances frantically over her shoulder, relief washing over her when she sees the High Alpha did not follow her up

  • The Twin Switch: The Alpha’s Mistaken Mate   11

    "Marlowe! Stop!" Evelina cries out from the bench, her frail voice shaking as she reaches out with a trembling hand, grabbing Marlowe’s coat sleeve. "Do not strike your sister!""Get your filthy, dying hands off my coat, you senile hag!" Marlowe screams, violently jerking her arm back.The harsh force of Marlowe's shove sends Evelina’s frail, light body tumbling sideways off the stone bench."Mom!" Elowen shouts, dropping to her knees and catching Evelina before her head hits the frozen stone floor.Rage, hot and unyielding, explodes through Elowen's blood. Her internal wolf, usually docile, claws wildly beneath her skin, demanding blood. She rises slowly, her dark skin flushed, her amber eyes blazing with lethal hatred as she steps directly into Marlowe’s space."Touch her again," Elowen whispers, her voice trembling with dangerous power, "and I will tear your throat out right here in the snow."Marlowe pales slightly at the sheer intensity of Elowen's glare, stepping back an inch be

    Elowen Hartwell pushes through the double doors of the recovery ward, her chest heaving as heavy sweat coats her dark skin beneath her thick wool coat. Her heart hammers against her ribs like a trapped wild beast. The sheer terror of Calloway Sterling’s possessive grip still lingers on her body, making her skin burn where his hand had pinned her waist against the elevator wall. She glances frantically over her shoulder, relief washing over her when she sees the High Alpha did not follow her up the concrete stairwell."What in the Goddess's name happened to you, Elowen?" Evelina Hartwell's frail, worried voice breaks through the silence of the room.Elowen pauses, smoothing down her dark hood and forcing a tight, reassuring smile onto her trembling lips. "Nothing, Mom," Elowen breathes out, her voice raspy as she wipes her damp brow. "I just decided to take the access stairs instead of waiting on the central lift. I did not realize how out of breath I would get.""There are three secon

    Suddenly, the overhead fluorescent lights flickered back on with a loud buzzing sound. The hydraulic brakes unlocked with a loud hiss, and the elevator doors slid wide open to the fourth-floor medical corridor.The trapped pack members began shoving past one another to escape the enclosure. Elowen didn't hesitate; she tried to bolt forward with the crowd, but Calloway’s grip shifted instantly. His large, gloved hand shot out, catching her wrist in a vice-like hold and dragging her back into the corner of the lift, pinning her shoulder blades hard against the metal wall.His dark blue eyes burned down into hers with terrifying intensity. "Marlowe...?"Elowen’s throat seized. She was trapped. She wasn't wearing her brown contact lenses, her natural amber eyes exposed beneath her dark hood, and her face was covered by her cloth mask. If she admitted who she was, her family would destroy her mother. She had no choice. She had to put on the mask of her sister once again."C-Calloway...?" E

    The sharp, deafening mechanical grinding of the central shaft mechanism violently shuddered through the elevator car. Elowen Hartwell immediately reached out, her dark fingers locking frantically around the cold steel handrail mounted to the interior wall.The overhead fluorescent strips flickered once, buzzed with an ominous hum, and cut out entirely, plunging the cramped metal box into pitch darkness. A heavy, resounding metal thump echoed from the cables above, making the entire structure drop two inches before catching on the emergency brakes. A chorus of terrified screams instantly erupted from the crowded pack members trapped inside."What the hell is happening to the lifts?" an aggressive beta male shouted from near the control panel."We are trapped!" a female voice shrieked from the front row."Oh Goddess above, I cannot breathe in here..." a younger female whimpered, her breathing turning fast and shallow in the suffocating darkness.Someone near the front pulled out a commu

    "The line is growing long, and my mother is waiting for me upstairs," Elowen replies, her voice firm behind her mask. "Pay the keeper. You can return it if you see me again."Reluctantly, the male takes the note and hands it to the shopkeeper, quickly grabbing his parcel.He waits outside the doorway of the depot as Elowen pays for her own small basket of toiletries. The moment she steps out into the cold street air, he steps up beside her, holding a black leather credit pouch he had just retrieved from a black SUV idling across the cobblestones."I pulled my backup pouch from the patrol car," he says, pulling out a crisp one-hundred-credit bill and handing it toward her. "Thank you for saving my hide back there. Please, take this and keep the extra as a gesture of goodwill from Lagos Holdings."Elowen reaches into her coat, pulling out fifty credits of her own change and pressing it back into his gloved hand alongside the one-hundred-credit note, keeping only her original amount."We

    Elowen Hartwell keeps her face turned down toward the metal basin while scrubbing the blood-stained medical utensils under the rushing water. Her knuckles are raw and dark, her fingers stiff from the bitter cold radiating off the concrete walls of the Sterling Crown Medical Center ward. The overwhelming stench of heavy wolf-antiseptic, silver cleaner, and sickness stings her nostrils, but she forces her wolf to stay silent under her skin."Why do you keep that thick cloth mask tied over your face every second of the day, Elowen?" Faye Waverly asks from behind her, leaning against the doorframe of the washroom.Elowen pauses, her wet hands hovering over the stainless steel basin. Faye is a recovering beta from a neighboring border pack who spends her afternoons roaming the lower levels of the medical facility, mostly lurking around the basement lounge where the large-screen monitors broadcast the high-stakes pack news of the Sterling Metropolitan District.Elowen turns her head slightl
