RomanI turned up the incline on the treadmill and pounded my feet. For the first time in my life, I was using the physio facilities at Kempthorne Memorial Hospital. The hospital allowed staff to use the physio and gym equipment afterhours as part of their wellness incentive, but I had never had to use it. My exercise was shifting and running in the bush, or pack training, or sex.I pounded my feet harder. Damn it. I didn’t want to be thinking of sex right now. If I thought of sex right now, it would only be with one person. It had been a few days, and I hadn’t even received a single text message. I was sure the ghosting was all part of the cat and mouse game, but I was winding up tighter than a spring and I was ready to snap.Rue didn’t help either. If I wasn’t thinking about sex, she would be flashing images of things that I could be doing with Vinny. Things that should be outright illegal, (if they weren’t already). I think I preferred it when Rue was rabid and uncontrollable. Her

Roman Once Cybil was hooked up to saline, I casually walked through the automatic doors to the ambulance bay. I took a gentle sniff. I tried to differentiate the scents that lingered in the air as a mixture of different scents hit my nose. Humans, werewolves, something musty, even gasoline. But I could not smell anything definitive. I wondered if I should call Liv.“You want to wake Liv up in the middle of the night, get her to drive the hour to Kempthorne because some old bat got you spooked?” Rue grumbled in her sleep then rolled over and let out a snore. Rue was right. There was no way Liv would come all the way out here without good reason. What as I going to tell her, that I saw a wolf on the security feed in a town full of werewolves? That an old senile woman claimed to know about werewolves, and she informed me that a friend had followed a wolf like some reversed Red Riding Hood? I walked around the bend in the driveway and called Simon’s name. This was stupid. He was probably

RomanMy adrenaline was pumping through my blood stream causing Rue to spin out of control within my mind. The pure excitement of almost being flattened by the truck, made her reach out and grab Vinny in a crushing kiss. I was giddy on arousal and adrenaline. I knew he was ready for me; his erection had been digging into my back for at least an hour. I didn’t care that we were on the side of the road, that anyone could come up the highway at any moment and see my hand encasing his girth. The thrill was rampaging through me, and I needed him now.When I pawed at his cock, I had to gulp back my surprise. I shouldn’t have been surprised; I had seen Vinny naked loads of times. But seeing it, and feeling it were two completely different things. It was enormously thick, and solid. I was pretty sure he had to have a license to carry the damn thing.His eyes were skyward in a prayer as I started to pump his shaft within my hand. He dropped his head and the silver of his eyes sparked, his beas

VinnyI needed a drink. I picked up my phone to call Sean, frowning when I remembered that he was still radio silent. I scrolled up my contact list and hovered over Roman’s name. After a moment of uncertain hesitation I scrolled up to Luca’s name and tapped the call button.The bar was pumping when I arrived. Everyone in town appeared to be here and it wasn’t even a full moon. I grinned as I found Luca and his twin brother Milo, who were already starting the shots with some friends from school, including (to my distaste) Murdoch.I didn’t need to wonder if Roman had broken things off with Murdoch, it was evident she hadn’t. She was occupying a booth with a mob of she-wolves and deep in conversation unaware that Murdoch was furtively leering at her. Every time her laugh echoed above the rest; he looked over at her in a way that made my hackles rise.I risked a glance over at the booth as she flicked her hair over her shoulder in a boisterous laugh. She wasn’t paying attention to anyon

VinnyI landed in the dirt with a hard thump as Ryan and Luca laughed. This is what I got for demanding to join them on a outside of boundary mission. We were somewhere deep in the woods in the general direction of Vancouver. Miles away from civilisation. Alpha Liam’s extra missions were coming up blank. I was beginning to think that the rogue wolves were being a lot stealthier than we gave them credit for. I was starting to believe that they were trying to bait Liam into making a bad decision. They wanted him to leave the comfort of Blackfern Valley. They were playing him. When the scouts came back with no news, Ryan volunteered to lead and in the grand scheme of things, use himself as a lure. What better bait than the beta of the Blackfern Valley pack?Luca had tagged along for Ryan’s protection – not that he needed it, and I joined because my head had been in a jasmine-scented cloud since leaving Roman’s bed, and I needed something to distract my mind and my cock from intrusive y
