Sera's Point of View"You don't have to do this," I said for the third time as Giselle pulled into the parking lot."Yes I do. You need work, and the pack always has positions available." She turned off the engine and grinned at me. "Plus I want to see everyone's faces when they meet you."That mad

Damon's Point of View‘Alpha. We found her.’Jace's voice came through the mind link and my entire body went still.‘Where?’‘Giselle's bringing her in now. They're about twenty minutes out.’Twenty minutes.I was going to meet my mate in twenty minutes.‘Thanks. Keep me updated.’I cut the link an
