CHAPTER 11 “THE JAMES BOYS” BRIDGETTE’S POV: I was so very thankful when Lucca agreed to lend me his car. Although I had simply made up the fact that I had forgotten something, I needed to get back to the hotel, and quickly. I could feel the heat flushing in my cheeks as I maintained a running walk into the parking lot. As I opened the door of the sporty black BMW, I caught another man staring at me bizarrely. I paused and caught the unmistaken scent of menthol cigarettes and out of the corner of my eye, I watched him flick the butt away as he closed the door to his red Porsche. He was tall and blonde, a handsome man with a thick mustache and piercing blue eyes. His nostrils flared as he caught my scent, a disturbing smirk filtered upon his face, and he methodically began walking towards me. I watched in horror as he advanced. I panicked, this had to be another Alpha, and I could tell simply by the way he moved that he was dangerous. I hurriedly opened the car

CHAPTER 13 “TWO SOULS” Bridgette’s POV: I watched my mate walk out of the hotel room, leaving me alone to struggle with my own mind and my wolf. Aurora was howling with despair, wanting him to return as quickly as possible, meanwhile, my mind was in torment. What was I going to do? My hormones were raging to the point I as having a hard time focusing on anything but being touched by my mate. It was frustrating and honestly a little frightened. All of this was happening so quickly I felt as though I didn’t have time to process my own thoughts. “I think my body was waiting to do this to me.” I muttered as I backed away from the door and took a seat on the end of the bed. When Lucca had walked into the room, my instincts were high and had he not left, I would probably be mated by now. I fidgeted with my fingers and took a deep breath, my body felt like it was in a furnace. I took another deep breath and frustratedly picked up my phone, it was nearing 5pm here in t

CHAPTER 15 “REALIZATION OF EVIL” LUCCA’S POV: I walked into the den of my packhouse once I had escorted most of the meeting members out. Only Alexander and Hudson had remained, lazily sipping on my favorite scotch, deep in conversation as I approached them. “This is going to be one huge mess if the kidnappings and murders are indeed Evan’s doing. And if one coroner gets his hands on a she-wolf before we do…” Hudson shook his head while he spoke, turning his attention to me upon noticing that I had entered the room. “I honestly never thought that he would go that wacko.” I said slowly rubbing the back of my neck. The other Alphas nodded in agreement. “He could singlehandedly expose us all, expose all supernatural’s to the human world, and I think the council has more fear of that then the kidnappings and killings. Wallace was less than pleased when he heard that woman was found by the river. Thankfully she was a human.” “Yes, but a human rap

CHAPTER 17 “NOT THE PLAN” BRIDGETTE’S POV: I am not sure what went through my mind when I seduced my mate. I reflected the amazing events over and over in my mind as I laid in his arms. Lucca was incredible, strong, beautiful, sexy, intelligent, characteristically, a perfect werewolf Alpha. I had been so terrified when I had first realized that he was my mate. So far from home, alone, and in a less than ideal environment to discover your fated mate would bound to spook anyone. I had felt that I had no choice but to run away, head back home where life was safe and familiar. But, come to find out, I was wrong, and after only a few days, laying in Lucca’s arms were exactly where I was supposed to be. I briefly thought about what my family would think about my mate, would they like him? My father, I honestly had no idea what he would think. I had not spoken to him since our blowout after I had arrived in America. He was livid with me, and had effectively cast me out

CHAPTER #19“DECEPTION”LUCCA’S POV: I knew Evan was behind this from the get-go. He and his father showed entirely too much interest in Bridgette, especially Evan’s father for my liking. Additionally, the rumor that Evan and his father were collecting breeders didn’t sit well with me. The fact that it was immoral and disgusting, not to mention illegal per werewolf law made me wonder if the rumors were just that, however Evan’s odd behavior since the death of his mate made me ponder if the rumors were indeed true. And if I were collecting females, Bridgette would be one on the top of my list, risky or not. I walked over to the decanter and poured myself a scotch, honestly, I just needed a minute to focus. Just knowing that the father and son Alpha’s of the Green Mountain pack were responsible for the attempted kidnapping of my mate, made me wonder if they were the ones responsible for all the women that had mysteriously gone missing over the past few months. I slammed
