The limestone ledge was cold beneath us, but I was burning. My heart was still hammering against my ribs.

"Let them come," I had told him.

I meant it. I felt invincible.

Cane stared at me, his eyes glowing. His head tilted sharply to the east. The softness in his eyes vanished, replaced by a lethal focus. His nostrils flared, scenting the wind.

"Get on," he says, his voice dropping.

"What is it?" I asked, already reaching for the black helmet. The shift in his energy was so violent.

"Engines,"

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   Be The Monster I Need You To Be

    Mako’s roar ripped through the air.I threw my leg over the seat and kicked the engine of a discarded bike that still had its key in it. I didn't look back. I pinned the throttle, the tires smoking as I tore across the yard, narrowly missing the front bumper of Viper’s SUVas he drove into the yard.I hit the entrance to the industrial drainage pipes.The bike plummeted into the darkness of the Veins. Behind me, the howls of the pack faded, replaced by the deafening, rhythmic echo of my own engine against the curved stone walls.I was alone. Rico was dead. And I was deep in the dark, bleeding and hunted.Mako and Rat were behind me.I could feel the pressure of the hunt. It was the same "Rabbit Run" Cane had used to train them months ago. Back then, it was about reflexes and training. Now, we weren’t playing games. The predators behind me were fueled by the scent of Rico’s blood on my hands. They were closing the gaps, flanking the exits, and cutting off my air. The bike roared, the bi

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   Change Of Plans

    "Nara! STOP!"The door didn't just open; it exploded inward. Rico, his face contorted in a mask of pure, primal rage, didn't shift, he didn't have time. He tackled Nara from the side, his massive weight slamming her into the concrete wall.The gun went off, followed by the sound of a bullet ricocheting off the ceiling."Run, Eloise!" Rico roared, his hands locked around Nara’s wrists."Rico, wait!" she screamed."I heard you," Rico growled, his voice low."I was at the top of the stairs, Nara. I heard everything."Nara scrambled to her feet. She leveled the gun at Rico’s chest."You were always too loyal for your own good, Rico. You should have stayed in the yard with the rest of the sheep.""The Silver Moon," Rico rasped, his hands curling into claws."You led them to the fir

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   The Scapegoat

    I sat on the floor, my back against the cold concrete wall, watching the moisture bead on the surface of the steel door.I heard footsteps. They weren't the heavy thuds of Rico or the impatient click of Viper’s boots. These were light, graceful, and deliberate.The lock opened. Nara stood in the threshold. She wasn't wearing the mask of the grieving mate anymore.She held a suppressed 9mm handgun, the muzzle leveled directly at the space between my eyes. She smiled. It was the most beautiful, horrific thing I had ever seen."You really are a persistent little parasite, aren't you, Eloise?" she whispered, her voice smooth."Where is Jax?" I rasped, my voice cracking.Nara tilted her head, a mock-pensive expression crossing her face."The boy? Oh, he was so brave. He really thought he was being clever, lurking in the rafters with his little recorder. I had to be quite creative to keep him quiet. He’s currently occupying a very tight space beneath the floorboards of the old pump house. I

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   Exposed

    I retrieved my bike from the club before I went back to the garage.Cane’s black pickup was idling near the entrance. I pushed through the side door, my chest heaving.The garage was a hive of frantic activity. Rico and Rat were loading crates of weapons into the back of the SUV. Mako was checking the seals on a high-pressure breaching charge. But in the center of the room, leaning heavily against the workbench, was Cane.He looked worse than he had yesterday. He was trembling, a shudder that he couldn't hide even with his hands shoved into his pockets.I didn't see Jax.My eyes scanned the office.Nothing. The kid who was supposed to be my eyes, the only one who knew the truth about Nara, was gone."Jax!" I screamed, my voice echoing off the metal walls."Where is Jax?"The activity in the room f

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   The Morning After

    I was pinned. My shoulders were screaming, a throbbing ache radiating from where my wrists were lashed to the steel of the bedpost. The industrial zip-ties were unforgiving; every time I tried to test the tension, the plastic teeth clicked into the next notch, biting deeper into my skin until I could feel the pulse in my fingertips becoming more frantic.I should have seen this coming. Caspian wasn’t just a drunk; he was a Vance. Even at his most intoxicated, the instinct to survive, to dominate, was still there.The door to the suite clicked open.Caspian walked in, looking composed. He had showered, shaved, and put on a fresh white shirt, the top three buttons undone. He carried two mugs of coffee, the aroma of it cutting through the penthouse. He looked at me with a terrifying, detached admiration.“You’re awake,” he said, his voice smooth, devoid of the slurred vulnerabili

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   Tequila And Confessions

    The neon signage of The Mint pulsed in the dark street. I had exactly one move left.I had to play the only card I had: Caspian’s ego.I pushed past the velvet ropes. The bouncers recognized me, the "Princess" who had started a riot a week ago. I moved through the crowd of sound and sweat; my eyes fixed on the VIP section.There he was.Caspian sat in a semi-circle of white leather, surrounded by two models who looked like they were made of plastic. When he saw me, he waved the girls away with a dismissive flick of his wrist."Eloise," he called out, his voice barely audible over the bass.I didn't answer until I was sitting directly across from him. I signaled the waitress."A bottle of your best tequila. And a chaser of whatever beer you have on tap. Make it a pitcher."The bottle arrived, chilled, expensive, and lethal. I poured two heavy shots.We slammed them back. The burn was immediate, but I was ready. I immediately grabbed the mug of beer, taking a long, deep gulp. I tilted m

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   Her Territory

    The Charger screamed down the mud-slicked backroads of the Everglades, the engine’s roar the only thing drowning out the tension inside the cabin. Viper drove like a man possessed, his knuckles white on the steering wheel as he pushed the car to its absolute limit.I sat in the passenger seat, my l

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   The Alpha's Mate

    Behind us lay the construction site, but ahead, the Southern District’s main drainage stretched out like the throat of a beast, wet and echoing.Cane didn't move immediately. He stood by the Wraith, his hand resting on the handlebars, his amber eyes cutting through the gloom. The scars on his chest

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   A Ride to Remember

    For forty-eight hours, the bunker had been a battlefield for Cane. I had watched Cane’s body seize, his muscles rippling in spasms as his natural healing factor fought the serum my father had engineered.By the second night, the sweating struggle subsided. The swelling in Cane’s chest receded, and

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   Meaner Than The Monster

    The sun hadn't even thought about rising when the roar of an engine shattered the silence of the shipyard. I was already awake, sitting by Cane’s side, watching the slow, rhythmic pulse of the blue toxin beneath his skin. It was fading, but the cost was visible; he looked thinner, his power dormant
