I pulled away from Logan and leaned against the wall in front of him. My father and Melissa walked in and I could feel the tension from the five of us. Christine gave a quiet hello and my father shook Ty’s hand, clasping him on the back. There was still a lot of chatter in the room and not many people noticed the awkwardness. Christine’s parents did though and I could hear their whispering in the corner.    “Dad, mom, Auri is here. She made the cake for today.” Ty, I’m sure, pointed at me.   I gave a short wave and a strained smile. Honestly, I was afraid of what Logan or Cato would do.    'Logan’s back.' Kai said quickly.    My father stalked up to me. “Girl. You are two weeks late. You have some expla

I looked at Bryan. “You know, funny enough we are. The ass just left me in the car on the side of the road. Alone. I need to kick some sense into him.” ‘Well, he looks like he’s had an interesting go of it today. My boys found him passed out in the forest. Butt naked.’ I sighed and turned the stove off. “Is he at the club?” ‘Yeah. He wasn’t too far away so we figured it would be best to bring him here.’ “My stupid mate. The things I have to do.” “I think I’ll stay behind for this one.”  I looked at Bryan, a little confused and hurt. “Fine. Look after the pack. I’ll be back.” I grabbed a granola bar from the cupboard and headed out the door. I jumped in the Mercedes just because I knew the seat was where I needed it. I munched on the cereal bar as I drove like Morgan had taught me. It only took me four hours and was about 11pm when I pulled up. I tossed the keys to the valet and Fr

***Auri’s POV***   Over the next few months, we dealt with the increasing rogue attacks. None of them were as big as the one the day of Ty’s baby shower, but they were still exhausting. Logan wouldn’t let me out though to help in the field. Instead, I took up my place at his desk in taking care of all the pack and business paperwork. I had become well versed in everything that had to do with his businesses. He trusted me now to just take care of it if I felt comfortable doing so. But as the months went on, I felt increasing anxious about Morgan. The High Council was not fun. They were a collection of overseers, or they liked to think of themselves as protectors of the peace between supernatural beings and even humans. They liked to make decisions, thinking that they were making them on behalf of their entire race. But corruption was deep and you had beings who were over a thousand years old. It just created a lot of headache for everyone. Not to mention

I was pacing in the suite. Papers were strewn about on the dinning table. A few of them were being held down by an ashtray that long since needed to be emptied. Morgan sat on the other side of the dinning table. His head was in his hands, a cigarette still burning between his fingers. “Okay, let me go through all of this bullshit that has been served us.” Morgan just nodded some of the ash falling onto the paper below. “The BloodHunter Coven has been around for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Keeping the ideals that humans were meant to feed them and they are the next in the evolution. They kill without thought and it wasn’t until they have taken over three major cities across the US that the High Council is requesting help.” I turned on my heel and paced back the way I came. “We have, from an unknown source, that there is compound out in the middle of fucking nowhere. It’s currently housing an Elder as well as his ‘son’ who is currently

I attacked when he was mid shift. He managed to swipe me me away though with his changing hand and I flew back, slamming into the wall. I coughed up blood as I tried to catch my breath. My knives had fallen out of my hands and I just took a deep breath before standing back up. “Shit. You’re an ugly fuck.” Elongating my claws and teeth, I attacked again. Dodging his swipe, I went in for a bite at his arm membrane. It tasted as gross as it looked but he yelled out in pain. “Fucking wolves, you’re a damn abomination.” I jumped back away from him. “Obviously you haven’t looked in the mirror lately.” We locked in battle in the small room. He threw me around a few more times and I got a few bites into him. I realized I wasn’t getting anywhere with him. 'Time for plan B.' 'What's plan B?' Kai asked. 'Use what we got left.' I ducked and dodged my way toward him and grabbed his feet with m
