The ceremony was gorgeous. The look of absolute joy on Citra’s face and complete adoration and devotion on Michael’s is why officiating handfastings is one of my favorite things about being a High Priestess. But now, it’s time for the feast. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. Add mimosa’s, Bloody Mary’s and cake? Shit, I’ll officiate a handfasting every day of the week. And then have to upgrade my gym membership. The cooks ‘put their foot’ in the food as my granny would say. The eggs are soft and pillowy. The grits creamy and full of cheese. The pancakes with the perfect amount of cinnamon. And don’t even get me started on the steak. “You guys eat all this for breakfast?” Lily asks, her eyes wide as she looks around the table. “Honey, you forget that we’re in the south. We don’t count carbs and a meal just ain’t complete without biscuits and sweet tea,” I say, smiling. Karamea starts piling her plate with food. “That’s it. We’re moving the pack to Texas!” Diego

We rush out of the house. Liam has an arm around Bhakti’s waist and Diego is holding Lily close to him to help them run. I have Karamea’s hand in mine and Hakeem is supporting Sandra. We’ve got to make sure that the she-wolves can keep up with us and that they don’t trip, endangering their pups. We’re nearing the mouth of the caves when we hear another explosion and screaming. It looks like the Riding Hood’s are back and they’ve brought company. Talon looks back and you can tell that he’s holding himself back from joining the other witches. He’s a good protector for his coven. He shakes himself and starts ushering us into the cave system. We click on the flashlights on our phones as we get deeper into the cave. We wolves have really good night vision, but just like a cat, we need some light to be able to see. And in the caves, there was no light. Hakeem, Diego, Liam, and I quickly shift the she-wolves with us to Arya, Charlie and Naomi while we move to the front of our

The second the exploding pumpkins go off near each of the encampments we found, all hell breaks loose. Riding Hoods seem to pour out of the woods from all directions. Some of them take up positions to protect their sisters, while some hurl magic at my protection shield or chant spells in attempts to bring it down. “Circle up, witches! It’s time to protect our family and our home!” I cry to my people. “Defenders, prepare to activate the sigils. The barriers are still up now, but it won’t be long before they fall. Get ready! Protectorate, let your spells, chants, and incantations fly. Group up and attack one witch together. Fire at will. We have to give the wolves enough time to get free and get them the fuck off our land.” My coven begins their attack, but I continue providing instructions. “Catapult the pumpkins at the groups of witches. Break their incantations.” My sister, Iris, grabs my arm. “Bella, you’ve gotta shore up the barrier. I can feel it weakening.” “You’

Slade is everything that I’d wanted from Julian. Every touch is reverent. Every gaze full of awe and adoration. Everything about Julian had been predatory and for his own pleasure or validation. Slade is all about me. And the tattoos that cover every visible inch of skin from his neck down are fucking hot. I want to lick every inked centimeter. I want to see how far down his tattoos go and then keep licking. And then he tells me that he’s never been with anyone else. He’s a virgin. And I’ve never heard anything hotter. I get to introduce him to everything that is sex. Show him what I like. Help him discover what he likes. Holy fuck, I could cum right now. “Fucking hell!” I moan. I fist my hands in his hair and pull him down to my mouth. My fingers run over his washboard abs. He moans and pulls away from my lips. “I take it you like that,” he smirks. “Shhh. No more talking.” I take in the tattoos that cover his entire chest and torso. It’s a huge, muscular brown wo

Slade and Naomi disappear into the back of the plane to snickers and cat calls from all of us, but they don’t seem to hear. A newly mated pair is always something to celebrate. But with Naomi in particular, we’re all super stoked that she found her second chance mate. Based on everything that Meredith and Brandon have told us, Slade is a great guy. He’s protected Chloe and Kesha for years, helped get Corinda, Severn, and Casen out of their nearly fatal situation, and got rid of a pack that was definitely a blight to our society. He’s solid and just what Naomi and her son Nathan deserve. Meanwhile, we’ve got about two and a half hours on this plane. First things first, Dev finishes healing Brandon. With the cautious way he was walking, it’s easy to see that his skin is still tender. Some places still look like new skin, pink and shiny, plastic looking. But within two minutes, Dev’s abilities have completely healed him. Brandon sighs, rolling his neck and stretching his arm
