I was out of the bed in a flash, moving for my closet and dragging comfortable clothes from the drawers, grey cotton sweatpants and a white tank top along with soft cotton slip on shoes. I was wrapping my hair around itself at the nape of my neck and securing it with a hair tie when I walked out, Alaric and Valen were glaring at one another, but no words were being spoken. As I padded quickly back into the room both men turned to look at me, Alaric nodded his head and turned to exit the room, leaving the door open behind him, knowing I would be following closely behind..   Valen moved forward, blocking my path with his larger body, his adorably mismatched eyes wide with confusion. “Where are you going? Who is Genesis?”   “I don’t have time to explain this now, but I will when I get back okay? Just stay here and listen to your guards, I need to know you are safe or I won’t be able to focus on the fight.” Pushing up onto my tiptoes I brushed m

Shots rang out through the air as the snipers attempted to inject liquid silver bullets into Genesis, an attempt to slow him down and give us a higher chance of capturing him without any more fatalities on our side.   My body slammed into his with a force hard enough that the sound of the impact vibrated through the trees around us. Sliding back along the forest floor Genesis and I slashed and bit at each other in an attempt to get the upper hand, the first drops of blood to hit the leaves was my own, but his soon joined it.   “You think you stand a chance, child?” Laughed my uncles voice through my mind as we broke apart and began to circle one another. Apparently, it didn’t matter that he was no longer a part of the pack, our family link was still intact, similar with Alaric and me. “I’ve trained my entire life to lead Amethyst Mists army, you have no idea what you are up against.”   “And you have

  “So that’s Genesis.” A whispered voice surprised me from behind, spinning round I came face to face with two face I’d come to know better than the others in the house.   “Blake, Lila, I’m glad to see a few friendly faces here.” Blake smiled softly back at me, while Lila eyed me cautiously, she still wasn’t sure what to think of me, and I couldn’t blame her. I’d almost killed her sister after all.   “He doesn’t look like a psychopath.” Lila observed, her gaze flickering back to the monitors, scooting just a little closer to Blake, who’s arm was currently around he hip, holding her tight.   “They never do.” Blake responded quietly as he looked me up and down. “Did you get in a fight?”   “With a door.” I chuckled in answer, hearing a relieved breath from back towards the door, there was no way I was throwing the guard under the bus for an accident, I needed these people to like me. I need

When we were done questioning Genesis warrior, Alaric and I checked in on the big bad wolf himself, only to find him still knocked out from the silver and wolfsbane that was used to keep him sedated for the trip here. This worked for me though, I wanted to check on Valen.   As I neared the door to my private rooms, I confronted the warriors standing guard at the door.   “Did he give you any trouble?” I asked.   The exchanged an odd look before shaking their head no in unison. “Not at all.” The one of the left said, followed closely by the one on the right. “He came with us to the safe room easily.”   I felt that they were hiding something, but I wasn’t exceedingly worried about it at the moment and waved them away, telling them to get something to eat.   My eyes scanned the room in panic when I found it empty, as I moved to call after he guards to come back and find him, I heard

“Yes, I could use a little help I think.” Honestly, I was shocked the words came out so sure, I half expected to have to force my lips to move and form them. “I’m here with a little extra courage.” Sapphire piped in, almost causing me to chuckle. “Horny wolf.”“Always, especially for… all of that.” I knew by the way she purred she was referring to our very delicious looking mate.Valen stopped at the edge of the tub and grabbed a wash towel, before climbing in. The water rose, threatening to spill over the edge. A part of me wanted to raise my hands to cover my breasts, but between the bubbles and my hair I felt I was covered well enough. And really… did I want to be covered from his view? Isn’t naked with him exactly what I wanted? “Dunk your head under the water, I’ll he
