SeleneNeed burned between us like a low flame. I slipped my hand from Lucas’s hair down to his jeans and expertly undid the button. His own hands worked to steady me as he slid my pants down. My injuries made it difficult to keep my balance as I stepped from them, but Lucas held my hips firmly, keeping me pinned against the wall as I did. His hard cock sprang forth as he slid his own jeans below his hips before lifting me to wrap my legs around his waist.            There was no foreplay, only the heat that consumed us, as he thrust deeply into my slick sex. I bit my lip, struggling to contain my moans as he pounded into me, primal need consuming us both.&nb

Zane arrived shortly after the kids left for school the next morning, preventing me from having a moment alone to speak with Maggie. We settled into my office so I could fill him in on the purpose of the meeting before Selene arrived.            “So, you’re telling me, your dead mate is alive again and you’re re-mated?” He asked. “That’s pretty wild man.”            “Tell me about it. She said she has information about the King and some major threat he poses to all of us.”     &nbs

I knew Selene would be worried when I didn’t return to Alistair’s apartment, but I hadn’t thought to get his number from the nurses before I left the hospital with my mate. I was over the moon, watching her as she escorted Maggie and the children back to the Alpha’s home. Victoria radiated power and I couldn’t have asked for better in a mate.“Would you like to grab some dinner?” She asked, turning to face me once her charges were safely inside.“I’d love that.”“There’s this great little pizza place on main. It’s a bit of a walk though.” She mused.“Any time spent with you is worth it. I don’t care if you wanted to walk all the way to a restaurant in Cerathe.” I squealed, taking her hand in mine.We chatted as we walked, the time passing easily between us. Victoria was a pack warrior. The first and only female to become one. She went by Vic becaus

LucasI showered in the facilities at the training grounds before making my way to my office. Selene had offered me the same solution Hades had demanded I take by force. His smug satisfaction flowed through me, leaving me frustrated. I couldn’t just ignore the human side of me, the one that said Maggie should have a say in her own future. Gripping the steering wheel tightly, I groaned in irritation before straightening my tie and heading toward the entrance of the pack house.            While humans in Mercius were well acquainted with our existence, our pack house was set up differently from traditional pack houses, heralding back to the days when the pack did business with outsiders before they knew werewolves walked among them. The front of the house was setup like a suite of offices, with a tidy reception desk just inside the doors, two large conference rooms that doubled as celebration halls for the pack off to

RoryI made my way to the pack hospital via the public transportation system that ran through the entirety of Lucas’s pack lands. I had been pleased to see that he had implemented systems to help the less fortunate of his members get back and forth through the territory. Even Cerathe, for as large as it was, lacked in that area.            The receptionist greeted me with a smile, leading me to the office they had lent me the day before. She winked when I noticed a name plate had been placed on the door, proudly displaying for the world to see that the office belonged to me. My heart swelled with joy knowing that the pack had readily accepted a stranger. They seemed to only care that I was an extra set of hands, willing to work to help the pack.            “Doctor Stevens.” A petite nurse called, rapping her knuckles on the open door. “I hope you don’t mi
