April couldn't ever remember being this happy before, it was so cliche but since Adrastus had entered the she-wolf's life, she felt like she was finally living in color again; it didn't even matter that he wasn't a wolf, that they weren't even the same species, Adrastus made her feel loved, and to April that was everything.At times he would try to talk to her about serious things but, it didn't take much before they were rolling around naked, enjoying each others flesh, and indulging in the most carnal pleasures where ever they happened to be, and all serious talk would be lost amidst the throes of ecstasy.She let herself into her apartment several days later, still in a sexual daze after leaving her gorgeous m

The ride back to the Midnight pack was a tense one.Todd stayed as close as he could to the still figure on the stretcher, watching as Neville, the packs top physician cleaned, and stitched Aprils wounds, covering the multiple sites in gauze before he went on to his next task. An hour into their journey her heart had stopped, sending the doctor into a frenzy of instrument wielding madness as Neville became a one-man operating team, forcing her heart to start again, inserting tubes, draining fluid, monitoring vitals and cataloguing injuries in order of seriousness. In the end, Todd had a whole new level of respect for the man.Aprils injuries were numerous, every bone was broken, organs ruptured ski

"Alpha in the hall!" The young woman announced in a panic as Zade strode past, ignoring the half-naked females scrambling to get to their rooms. He had an army to assemble, and a mate to retrieve. Even unconscious April still seemed to thwart him, and what the hell was that beast doing, kidnapping her like that? Surely the dragon didn't think April was still his mate? The door to his study was open, and he spared a quick glance at the adjoining room next to it, hopefully, Todd had managed to make it out alive. He was a casualty of the unprovoked attack, unfortunately. But Zade felt sure that if he was still alive he would be protecting April and making sure they survived until the pack warriors could come and rescue them.As he sat down in his chair, Zade belatedly noticed the lack of paperwork on his desk, come to think of it he hadn't been overwhelmed by it for a couple of weeks now. That was odd but very welcomed. Perhaps they had had a lull in the day to day outg

"It would be a simple matter for me to pop down, heal her, and whizz back up, nobody would even see me, so I really don't see a problem."Zeus sat on his throne, trying to mitigate between two of his subjects. Nefele was always doing things that caused serious problems for the humans but nothing so bad that she was ever bought before him, until now. Selene stood tight-lipped next to her, tapping a slender foot on the ground as the weather Goddess defended herself against the allegations. Things were not going well.When he rose from slumber this morning, he had had no idea that this matter would take up his entire day. Now he was wishing he had just stayed in bed. The fact that he had a headache was entirely the fault of the two ladies before him, and Zeus found his patience wearing thin."That's enough!" The wise God bellowed, " Nefele you know better than to mess around with the humans, but I turn a blind eye because they are so low on the food chain that chan

The mated wolves spared one last glance at their women and children before they stepped into formation. Younger, single wolves had already left for the Dragons mountain in the first wave of warriors, and Zade waited impatiently for everyone to say their goodbyes before they started on their trek. The fire mountains were at least a three-day journey on foot, two if they all phased, but the Alpha had forbidden it. They needed to turn up for April and Todd's retrieval mission having conserved as much energy as possible. Not all of the pack was thrilled with the decision to attack the dragons, and it was with unusual empathy that Zade had left those pack members behind to protect the women and children. The air was rife with nerves but all Zade and Chase could feel was impatience at the length of time his seasoned warriors were taking."Hurry up!" He finally yelled and the lingering goodbyes were cut off as the last wolf moved into place, Zade took his own place at the head of th
