Alistair             “Abigail! What are you doing here?” I cheered as I strode toward the pack house receptionist desk.            “Oh, I guess the regular lady needed to take some time off and Lucas suggested she have me take over while she’s gone. Gives me something to do, I suppose, other than worrying about Daniel.” She forced a smile.            “I meant more ‘here’ in the general sense. Where is Daniel?”            “Somewhere in Cerathe, digging for information to protect our daughter.” She sighed. “Orders went out to everyone, the king has even sent medics after her. Can you believe that? I’m no assassin, but for goddess sake, even I know

Fenrick Maggie had been smart. She hadn’t boarded another bus out of Millstone, nor had she checked her and the kids into a hotel. She had purchased an old clunker from one of the small car lots in town, paying cash. The car was too old to have an onboard GPS tracking system. If I hadn’t been worried about the reaction I would receive at not being able to locate her, I’d have been impressed.           “I could just run myself.” I chuckled, tossing my duffle into the back of my rental. “If I never go back, the Alpha will never know I failed.”           The ringing of my cellphone interrupted the c

Lucas“This is a stupid plan.” Zane said as we sped toward the hotel. “If he wins, everything we’ve done to protect this pack ends up being for nothing.”“He won’t win.” I growled. “He may be almost ten years younger, but he hasn’t trained against you.”“I hope for your sake, you’re right. I wouldn’t be surprised if your mate manages to survive your dumbass just so she can bring you back and kill you herself if you lose.” Zane laughed, lightening the mood in the car.We parked in the hotel lot, the cars with the pack warriors filing in beside us. I made sure they knew the role they played; they were only there in case Tyson tried to run. If he accepted the challenge, they would serve as witnesses on the training field. It was the only way to ensure there were no doubts that a challenge had been won fair and square. The receptionist gave me Tyson’s room number and we

Selene  Lucas’s hands roamed my body, his erection pressing into my backside as we moved to enter the house.           “Bath first.” I ordered, freeing myself from his grasp.           I laughed as he pouted in response to my words. Rolling my eyes, I dragged him by the hand to the bathroom.           “You smell like sweat, blood, and Tyson.” I said, scrunching my nose. “I’d prefer not to smell another man while fucking my mate. Now strip.”           “Yes ma’am.” He chuckled, removing his pants and shoes as I filled the tub.           He had left his tattered shirt behind on the training field, returning home in only his pants and shoes. The few places Tyson had managed to slash him had alre

Selene             “Where the fuck is he, Zane?” I demanded, barging into the Beta’s office.            Lucas hadn’t answered his office or cell phones, leading me to check for him at the pack house. Instead of finding my mate, I found Zane. The guilty look on his face made it clear that he knew something about my mate’s whereabouts.            “He’s in Cerathe.”            “And you didn’t try to stop him? Are you insane?” I screeched. “You just let your Alpha waltz into the arms of the enemy.”            “I swear, I didn’t know until it was too late.” Zane retorted,
