I wake with a stirring that is very unfamiliar to me. My chest heaves from my heavy breaths and my body is drenched in sweat. I sit up in bed quickly, trying to regain my breath.The room is dark, but with my werewolf sight I am still able to see somewhat. I reach for the lamp on the nightstand and switch it on. With my arm I wipe away the residue that has formed on my head and look at the body rising and falling soundly beside me. Samuel seems to be completely at rest while my mind is still reeling from my dream.It is so vivid i can recall every touch and tingle on my body. His hot breath on my skin, the little love bites. My thoughts hit me like a ton of bricks.Even in my just awoken state I still yearn for him.I begin to panic. I know I need to get away from him before something really bad happens that I can never take back. I am mentally not ready to mate him but my body is saying something completely different. I am in turmoil with myself.I force myself to the bathroom, fight

A few things happen when I step outside the mansion to meet the rest of the pack. One, there is a lot of growling coming from one specific person who is dangerously close to shifting. Two, everyone looks like they are about to attack him with teeth bared and in wolf form. And three, that same specific wolf stands tall, dark, and possessive with my best friend wrapped in his arms. It only takes me seconds to realize what is happening. I have seen this same scene before...with mates.Samuel stands silently by me with an intense expression on his face. He seems to be communicating a message to the pack to back off because seconds later they all stand down without hesitation. Luka has really provoked them.Doreen finally manages to smile at her mate after the surprise wares off that it is Luka who was holding her. With the pack calmed down, he looks at her with so much love the entire pack is able to feel it. Their love is infinite and I am happy for them.My free spirited friend is posi

My scalp tingles with the need to shift. I have to get out of here. I have to warn Samuel and both packs. They have to know what Logan was doing."You," I spit. "You are responsible for all of this. For Logan. For the deaths of Samuel's parents. The attacks on all the other packs. You leave a trail of bodies and destruction in your wake.""She's quite a fireball," he says to Logan, his jaw set in amusement. "We could use her."Use me? No. Never."You'd have to kill me first." I make my voice as low and dangerous as I can manage.They both laugh at me as I if have told a joke then Grog speaks again. "That's not necessary. We have other ways to make you cooperate with us.""Us? So what, you're a team now? You dragged him into this!"He turns to Logan and smiles. "You didn't tell her? Well, this is amusing.""What exactly do you want with me?" I ask impatiently. "I'm sure you can find other willing wolves to join your league of evil."Grog turns back to me. He is no longer smiling, but s

I will never willingly mate Logan as he wants, so the only other option is for him to kill me. Unless I can somehow manage to kill him first.It has been a total of four days since I saw Samuel last. I am slowly dying inside without him. Although I can't use our mating link to connect with him, and I can't use my wolf, I can still feel him. That can fade away soon as well.I wish I knew what he is feeling. What he is thinking, or if he is looking for me. I know the bond is withering away slowly. Pretty soon his presence will be gone completely.I need to get someone to trust me. If I can, I might be able to get away from here. If I could get far enough maybe I could contact Samuel. All hope isn't lost."You're excused for a while. I'm taking her with me today," an unmistakable voice says. It is one I have grown to loathe so much the past few days.I watch Logan as he steps into my room. The lights from the ceiling dance over his golden blonde hair as he walks. He looks brighter, a lit

I am pumped. My body is filled with adrenaline and it is the most alive I have felt in weeks. My anger is driving me. I know as soon as my training session is over with Logan, and my body has time to relax, I'll be exhausted. I'll sleep for days if allowed.Logan lowers his body and comes at me again. Unlike all the other times, he doesn't knock me on my butt again. My body doesn't crash against the ground under all his strength. I dodge him, sending him flying past me and he hits the ground in surprise. I may not have the strength on my side but I have agility and speed. Those will be my weapons.He rolls over, his eyes meeting mine for the first time since his fall. Instead of being met with anger or annoyance he is smiling. Almost like a sorcerer over his apprentice or a parent over their child. Then he pushes himself up from the ground and dusts himself off."You're doing better than I thought you would." I raise my brow to him and cross my arms. "You didn't think I had it in me?"
