“Viktor, go and inform Alpha Tyler that she's awake. Grab something for her to eat from the dinner table while you're at it. I'll take her back to the sick bay, call Kaylee and Katida so that we can run a final checkup on her.”“Okay.”Viktor turned east while Kamala proceeded to lead Lana back to the sick bay. Her shivering stopped, and she eased her tensed body into the comfort of Kamala's touch. Kamala respected the fact that Lana was exhausted and didn't turn to make small talk. She kept silent, supporting her slow pace until they arrived.“Thank you,” Lana uttered. Kamala has been the first to show her kindness and patience. That was to her knowledge.“You are welcome. You are welcome and safe here. No one will hurt you again. I promise you that.”Yeah. Those were the familiar recitation of her best friend every day before he struck that dagger of betrayal into her heart. It would take more than words for her to trust another as blindly as she did with Scott. Nevertheless, she wa

“Damn! We knew this moment was unavoidable. Viktor, is that wine remaining? She needs to knock herself up before facing him,” Kaylee suggested.“I don't think so. They have matching energy, and he has been defending her even before she wakes up. He rescued her and made sure we healed her. Tyler wouldn't be harsh. You have nothing to worry about,” Kamala comforted.“You are right. Don't stress. You will live,” Viktor added.Lana felt like she was exposed. Everyone already knew a piece of her. She also read in the atmosphere that they knew she and the Alpha were mates but was careful of that topic. Taking steady breaths, “please, take me to him. It's inappropriate to keep the Alpha waiting.”“And, she has manners,” Kaylee smiled.“Come,” Viktor beckoned.“Before you go, have this.” Kamala handed Lana an extra sweater. “Wear it. The night will be freezing.”“Thank you.” Lana slid the thick fabric over her head, covering her t-shirt with it. She felt warmer and surprisingly more confident

When she left, Tyler let out a gush of air. The rain had subsided and was only drizzling, but he feared that she will get soaked and catch a cold. Unfortunately, he lost his train of thought and forgot to give her one of his thick jackets. Well, if she caught a cold, there were healers to take care of her.He couldn't believe that he had to fight with his wolf by running his hand over the length of her hair. Her curves were simple yet feminine. Her scent irresistible and her beauty, unique. The more she saw her, he felt it would take less confusion before he gave in and made her his mate.Tyler tucked himself in after placing his gun under his pillow as he stretched his body. Something he did out of habit to fall asleep. Her image filled his head and he was already overriding everyone else's say to keep her. Things didn't work that way for his pack. He had to consult the elders first and get their unanimous agreement. Even though he could single-handedly make all decisions, that would

Free Town as the name implies was free. Lana hadn't been to one but heard stories about them in pieces. First hand, she was experiencing it. After the parking area, the second thing to see was a fighting arena, which was a broad slab of concrete about long and just as wide. Probably an old building or an event area of some kind, looking abandoned due to its bad state.Rings were outlined by concrete blocks, and the outside accepted and rejected Shifters having fun and working off steam; those not fighting were cheering, drinking beer, or finding either the weak to taunt or the strong to show off their powers to. Others also smooched and openly made out, reserving the larger show for later.Elijah walked ahead, keeping his focus straight. Tyler followed, holding Lana, but her eyes kept wandering around until they fell on a displeased wolf, who practically undressed her with his eyes. He couldn't do much, smelling Tyler all over her. Inside wasn't any different from outside. Only havi

Lana's thoughts began to move in circles. She was trying so hard to figure out who then was. His face wasn't resonating with any memory. Only his scent was peculiar.“You know me?” she asked.The man's face twitched. His eyebrows furrowed. Katida returned shortly with an overall jacket for Tyler to put on. She had dressed in a fresh set of clothing. Tyler took the clothe and wrapped them around himself.“Are you acting dumb with me? You are the whore that was meant to marry the Alpha.”“I think you have the wrong person. I have no memory of my past. Surely, I do not remember you.”“He doesn't,” Kamala interjected. “Both of you have the same energy, meaning you're from the same pack.”Lana's plan failed. She was in a loop now. How would she shut this man up? Once more, she prayed to the universe to save her. If it did this time, she will make sure to disappear from plain sight.Tyler did nothing. He stood with his arms crossed, moving his glances between Lana and the man. “Why did you
