Dmitri kept his hand clenched in Nikka's bloody fur. He knew she was badly injured and he fought to contain his own rage. Without The Kodiak's help, he would have completely lost control."Come with me." He pulled on the ruff of her neck and was relieved that she didn't resist.After a hundred yards, Nikka finally slumped against his side and shifted. He scooped her into his arms and carried her to his home. He didn't say a word until they were in his bathroom."I'm sitting you on the counter. Can you remain upright?"Her head moved up and down against his chest.Large, deep gashes, caused by claws and teeth, covered most of her body, but the worst damage was to her face. After grabbing a washcloth and towel, he ran water in the sink. The light illuminated the blood covering her and the tangy scent made it impossible to hold back his fangs.Her entire body trembled uncontrollably, but he unmistakably heard a small giggle.He glared. "You think this funny?"She shook her head th

Dmitri told Nikka of plans to send additional bears into battle against the cats. He also explained he would close the nightclub for renovations, bringing all available bears back to his territory until the danger passed.Tyboll, The Kodiak's brother, would lead the bears on their campaign. He was leaving behind his son, Patreous, with Honey and Mandy. The young bear took his responsibility to protect the newest bear clan member very seriously and had to be dragged from the baby's side when it was time to return to his father. Having Patreous stay with the new family was a good match. Dmitri also explained that Tyboll adopted Mandy into his family and Patreous was now her brother. To the bears, adoption was the same as giving birth. Mandy was bear even if she changed into a wolf.The thought made Nikka sad because she wanted badly to be accepted, but she didn't think the bears would adopt her into their clan. Dmitri told her that through their mating, she was the co-leader of their c

Two weeks earlier; southwest territory...Brandt stepped off the plane and greeted Columbus with a bone-crushing hug. "Are your brothers here so I can see if they've outgrown the runt of the litter?"Columbus's laugh was as big as he was. "Who are you calling a runt? Even Amy complains I'm eating them out of house and home."Brandt kept his arm around Columbus as they walked to one of several waiting vehicles. They encountered no problems during the trip to Marcus and Amy's home. It was late August and the high mountains of Arizona were cooling down significantly with the end of summer approaching. The forest was not as green as Brandt's home in Colorado, but still lush and beautiful.Brandt's inner beast was struggling. He'd left Emily and their child behind. Magnus, a handful as only beastkind children can be, was the light of his life. Emily was his life. His alpha power simmered just below the surface as he fought to control his anger over leaving his family to save it from the

Tyboll arrived at the southwest territory the following week and they finalized their plans. They would go as two separate forces, each led by a vampire and two alphas. Amy's team consisted of Columbus and Brandt, while Vorlyk's had Nicolas and Tyboll. The Moor returned to the enemy to help from the inside and Ivan went to parts unknown."I'll be around. I no longer work well within a pack." Ivan gave his sons a final hug. The three younger men would be with Amy and their brother, Columbus.The two wolves who betrayed their clans, Jackson and Wallace, were also with Amy's group. The teams boarded separate airplanes when the sun went down two days later. Vorlyk and his fighters flew across the border to a prearranged destination that changed the minute they left, though only a few knew of the new landing location. They couldn't chance that Jackson and Wallace would discover their new plan.When Amy's plane touched down inside a military base on the U.S. side of the border, she called

A week passed without Aster approaching or following her. She never expected to miss his irritating habit of being everywhere she went. But, she did. Her cat also gave her a hard time, so Esta trained the frustration away, or tried to. She lifted weights and sparred with anyone willing to get into the ring with her. And she waited.Nicolas called a meeting of the pack on the seventh day. Esta knew in her heart that Aster had finally challenged. She was as ready as she would ever be.Their alpha got straight to the point. "Aster challenges for his place as one of your leaders. Per beastkind rules, if you accept, Vorlyk's bite may only keep you from dying. Any other injuries will heal on their own. Aster, make your challenge."Esta straightened. Here it was. She gazed at Aster for the first time in a week. He turned away."Troy, I challenge for your position."For one moment, Troy was as stunned as Esta, but he shook it off quickly and began removing his clothes. "I accept."Esta f
