Chapter 41
Kira
I froze, still foggy in the wake of my orgasm. But my thoughts were immediately sharpened by the earthy scent of firewood.
“Don’t move. You look beautiful.”
I knew it was him, but the steam of the sauna was so thick I couldn’t see him. His deep voice vibrated from the walls of the room.
Ignoring his words, I sat up and circled the towel around me.
“Why cover up such beauty?” His voice was louder now, closer.
I saw the dark outlines of another figure emerge from a curtain of steam. Rubbing the sweat from my eyes, I tried to focus.
“Who are you?”
Like last night

KiraStaring directly into his eyes, I straddled his lap. I could feel the soft cushion of the white towel on his lap beneath me, and a few seconds later a pressure pushing back towards me from underneath.I couldn’t explain why, but I knew that I was drawn to this man beyond even my own understanding. To be near him made breathing easier despite the butterflies, despite the deep pulsing at my core that I knew was an insatiable, carnal attraction to him.I slid my arms around his neck, settling myself firmly on his legs, wrapping my own around his waist. I tried not to touch him at first, other than that. The proximity of our bodies and the smell of him made me slightly dizzy, but in an intoxicating way. I needed to steady myself. The orientation of what my body needed was clear, but I needed to take my time.

PerrinThe rest of the evening with Jaz was wonderful. Our waiter had let us know that members of the local press team were dealing with something at the front of the restaurant, so we slipped out through the kitchen into the twilight.I had phoned Charlie saying we’d be fine.Hand in hand, we had walked through the streets of the local town, hands clasped and whispering softly to each other.It truly was a beautiful evening, and surprisingly warm for March.We stopped to get gelato at a small ice cream parlor a block from Jaz’s apartment.I walked her to her door, where she promptly turned on her heel, gazing up into my eyes from beneath deep long lashes.

LeilaI walk around my father’s suite, clicking off the lights and dimming the room. My head was still reeling from that dinner with the Luna. It certainly wasn’t what I expected. She seemed… like a lush?I was scandalized even thinking it. The Luna always required the upmost respect, being mated to the Alpha. But Deidre was… well, on the outside, classy, formal, well-kept… certainly polished when you looked at how dark and brooding Alpha Jason could be. Her smile was form, her words oddly formal.But between the glasses of wine, her eyes had swiveled throughout the restaurant all night long. As though she was paying half attention to me, half to the world around us. Why had she really brought me along? And why was she probing so much about my mother? She seemed fixed on the fact that she wasn’t wit

Alpha JasonShredding the ground beneath our paws, Mark and I make quick progress to the location Janas had communicated over the phone.I mind-link with Mark.“Two minutes tops.”“Do you want me to join you or circle in from the east?”“Join me. Janas couldn’t tell from which director the scent came before he lost it. It won’t matter.”All eight legs pounding the forest floor, we reach Janas and the rest of the patrol quickly. Shifting back into our human forms, I dropped the small bag of clothing I had been holding in my mouth as we ran. Unpacking shorts, I quickly donned them as I gauged the scene before me.

JasmineIt was an incredible evening with Perrin. I felt like we finally had a chance to connect and relax and just… talk.Well, after we actually made it to the restaurant… I blush even at the thought.I had removed my makeup and was just getting ready for bed when my phone pings on my bed.Hoping it’s a good night text from Perrin, I’m sorely disappointed but altogether alarmed when I see that it’s an alert text from the Infirmary.APERTURE INFIRM: All yellow-level healers and above, please report immediately to the Infirmary. This is not a drill.What the hell?Yellow-level healers? That was me, but

LolaI’m not sure Jasmine’s and my training regimen includes Saturdays, but I figured it’s worth a shot.Waving a quick hello to Dina, I head to the back door of the kitchen, ready for the light jog on the lodge.Surprisingly, I’ve barely made it out of the door when my father appears in the doorway.He looks exhausted. There are deep circles under his eyes, and for a man with a pretty regular 5 o’clock shadow, the reality that he hasn’t shaved since the feast makes him look disheveled and slightly dangerous.I pull the earbud out of my ear.“Dad?”“Where are you going?” His voice was gravel.

PerrinDespite my quick pace, Lo matches me stride for stride. I have to admit that I’m impressed.We set off towards the lodge, regardless of the orders I had given to Seth over the phone. A few minutes in silence pass between us as we find our cadence and settle into our breathing. She’s faster than I imagined. It will be nice to get a real cardio workout in despite no official training hours. She breaks the quiet.“I’m sorry about my dad.”“Don’t be. I get it.”“You do?”“If someone I cared about was out alone given everything going on--”“Like Kira?”

Perrin“What do you mean, dangerous?”She decides to walk. I didn’t expect her to, but it’s clear the ease of our conversation has shifted.She’s avoiding my gaze and seemed preoccupied with her scrapes from the tumble. Half of them are healed already. I can tell that she’s stalling."Let's just get back to the packhouse, ok?"We turn and walk in silence for a few minutes."So, tell me what you and Ethan have been up to the last ten years.""That could take awhile.""We have a ways to walk."Jason
