VICTOR SIPPED ON THE AMBER liquid in his class and nearly spat it out again. It had become clear that this backwater town wasn’t up to his high standards and he sent one of his men in search of a proper bottle of whiskey. Without it, he was going to have a hard time curbing his appetite. It truly boggled his mind that his brother Nathaniel lived here for so long without complaining!Then again, Nathaniel had his science and Victor never really understood how Nathaniel always seemed to be happy with that, but he was. Being in this human town, Victor and his men had to be careful who they spoke to and who knew they were there. By now, he knew that Nicolas would have sent out people to look for them since he didn’t ask for permission to come here, and they never arrived at the destination they faked.His scouts would be returning at any moment, and if he still had a beating heart, he knew that it would be racing right about now. It took longer than he anticipated to sort out their living

COLLIN WAS SHATTERED. His wolf howled in pain as Anna left and he wondered if he would ever see her again. She hadn’t rejected him, which at least was a good thing, but as she walked out, she also didn’t even say goodbye. Was the fact that he was a hybrid such a big thing? Could she really just leave like that?“I’m sorry son.” His father patted his shoulder and Elana made a snotty comment that Anna didn’t deserve her brother. Collin’s mother was silent on the subject as they all gathered in Collin’s office. It was an incredibly sad day for the pack, but there wasn’t much they could do about it now. Anna had made her choice. She might change her mind after she had some time to think about it, or so Collin hoped.The life he had imagined for the two of them lay in shards and Collin suddenly didn’t know what to do with himself. His wolf disappeared after giving Collin a loud and clear piece of his mind. It left Collin feeling lonelier than he had ever felt before in his life. If he susp

BY THE TIME ANNA ARRIVED she was shocked at the state Collin was in. Sebastian explained that he deteriorated more quicker than normal because of his hybrid status. Not only was his wolf head over heels in love with her, but his vampire side also seemed to be as well. Anna felt entirely overwhelmed, but she couldn’t be weak now.She left not only because of the shock of finding out that Collin was a hybrid but also to prove that she could lead her pack as their alpha. She had to prove it not just to her pack, but to herself. Her entire life was turned upside down thanks to that damn beta and now she could be facing a life without Collin.“What do I do?” She looked from his mother to his father.“We can’t tell you what to do, Anna.” His mother looked sad, but she was right. They couldn’t tell her what to do. It was clear that Collin was too weak to handle a rejection which left her with one choice.“I, Anna, Alpha of the Half crest pack, hereby accept you, Collin, alpha of the Nightsha

ANNA FELT SO SILLY after everything she had put her packs through! When they informed her pack of what was happening, they couldn’t wait to move the new pack grounds. Her pack had always half expected to move when she took over since she was a female and it was the most obvious.They even took the news that Collin was a hybrid a lot better than she would have ever expected. Soon the pack was breaking up their old houses and moving them to Collin’s grounds where everyone would be closer to each other to protect. Anna couldn’t believe that after everything they had been through, this was the easy part, but she hadn’t told Collin about the vampire scent yet, and she was beginning to think she shouldn’t.There was no sign of the vampires in town, and from what her scouts were telling her the vampire had moved on. There had also been no more emails since the last ones which made her wonder if he had given up so easily, but she was just too happy to be with Collin to worry about it that muc

Anna frowned as she looked at Collin. How could he even say that? Okay, so there was the possibility that she could die and that wasn’t the best idea ever, but his mother survived, didn’t she? Collin looked at her for a moment and then stormed out of the room. Anna was so stumped that she didn’t know if she should go after him.“Anna,” His mother’s voice interrupted her thoughts as she was standing looking out of the window. Anna turned to look at Leah, and her eyes filled with tears. She had no idea what to say. This was meant to be a happy day, wasn’t it? Leah pulled the young woman into her arms. She had grown incredibly fond of Anna since the first day she arrived and she would hate to see her go through all of this.“What do I do? I didn’t try to get pregnant, it just happened?” Anna cried and Leah sighed. She knew precisely how Anna was feeling. She also didn’t try, but it was a terrible time and not as happy a time as she had hoped it to be. Being pregnant with a possible hybri
