ZackWhat did I just hear? That can’t be right.I look towards the end of Bry’s hospital bed at my sister, who is frozen in place with her mouth slightly ajar. Her heart sounds like a herd of wild animals charging and trying to leap out of her chest. I take a deep breath and let my mate’s delicious scent fill my nose and calm my raging emotions. A part of me is excited she has finally found her mate, but another part wants to deny her mate for a bit, knowing both the unmated men in the room are Bry’s ex-boyfriends. My wolf bolts forward and tries to take control, but the part of me who is happy for my sister quickly pushes him back into the shadows. I slowly glance up at Hunter, who looks just as surprised as me, and then to Jacob. His eyes flash between gold and then back to brown while his focus is locked on my sister. His breathing is ragged as he growls, “Mate. Mine.”The air in the room instantly grows thick as tensions rise. With a look of surprise mixed with relief, L

BryannaI lean back on the couch in my room and savor the feeling of being free from everyone’s constant, watchful eye. The hospital staff has been nothing but helpful and polite, but after being in the place way too much lately, I don’t want to be there any time soon again. Plus, there is something with a few of the staff, which I just can’t place. It would give me an uneasy feeling, but I can’t explain exactly why though. Then again, it isn’t every day a guy walks into the hospital, and then a few days later, the guy is now a woman.Zack smiles and sits down next to me. He gives me a quick peck on my lips before sliding against the back of the couch. “Are you glad to finally be back in your room?”I smile and lay my head down on his shoulder. “Yes. The hospital room was getting a little overcrowded with not only the mothers being there, but their husbands, too. Don’t get me wrong. I love them and they are like parents to me, but they can be too much when they are in their

BethanyMy mouth waters as if I’m drooling over a delicious desert. I can’t even remember my question or why I’m in Alpha Blake’s office. The only thing rolling through my head right now is how delicious and tasty the cherry scent hanging in the air is. A dense haze fills my head while I force myself to focus in on Blake sitting behind his desk. My wolf jumps forward and wags her tails, while drooling, too. The smell is having the same effect on her as it is on me, but I gather all my might and push it to the side. My stomach flutters as I take a deep breath. The alluring cherry smell fills my lungs, making me want to inhale more, but I stop myself. My wolf’s tail wags frantically while she licks the drool off her mouth. She eagerly steps forward, almost like she is expecting something to happen. My eyebrows knot together as I force myself to keep my focus on Blake. He has called me here, and his request is my top priority, no matter how the alluring cherry scent pulls me i

BryannaWith my arms crossed over my chest, I lean against the back cement wall of the interrogation room and glare at the rogue. He is barely awake and has cuts all over his body, while blood slowly oozes down the side of his face and the front of his bare chest. His breathing is shallow, and he is rather pale. The pack doctors and nurses are waiting outside in the hall, in case they are needed. This is the only rogue to survive, and he is the smallest of all of them.I grind my teeth as Blake leans over the small table and slaps the side of the man’s face. His eyes blink and open for a moment as he looks up at the Alpha. The prisoner briefly focuses on Blake and frowns before his eyelids slowly dip back down. My frustrations surge as I fight back the urge to take over the interrogation. I’m still not sure exactly how the other prisoner died. He was alive when we drug him here and when I left the interrogation room. Moments later, he was dead. He wasn’t as injured as this

BryannaI unroll a map of the pack lands, which includes the locations of all the various buildings and other important things. After yesterday’s debacle with the prisoner, we have taken a tour of the grounds where the rogues were found and also the various factories in the surrounding area. We all agree we are missing something important, but we still can’t figure out what it is. I glance around the table. “Considering there isn’t much else in that part, I’m going to assume they are after something within the buildings over there.” I trace my finger around the area where we recently fought with the rogues. Zack leans over the table and with a pen marks all the previous spots where they have had attacks, including all of them prior to me coming, which are all in the same general area only the older attacks are closure to the border. Then he moves to the opposite side of the map and, in a different color, marks the ‘decoy’ attack. Blake nods and rests his hands on the table on
