“Asher, what are you doing? You will tear down one of your own!” Chase’s veins popped as he struggled against Asher’s wolf. He turned his head to find Ginny hiding behind his sister. “Get out of here!”She didn’t need a reminder to join the others who left earlier. Chase and Carl held Asher down while he trashed about and all the while Maggie stood with her hands to her mouth watching them struggle with the huge black wolf. Carl’s fist suddenly struck Asher’s jaw and a whimper later he stopped struggling and calmed down only slightly. The silence that fell over them was heavy. A few seconds later Asher’s wolf began to transform, forelimbs became hands, hind limbs straightened into legs and the fur on his body faded. He slapped Carl and Chase’s hands away and stood up. His hair was disheveled and a huge frown marred his brow.“You would kill your own kind for a stranger, Ash?” the brown-haired woman clicked her tongue.“Asher…” Maggie tried again. “Let me go. I swear I’ll never cause y

Cathy, Mason, Jayden, Edna and Carl transformed into wolves immediately, the sounds of their clothes ripping filled the air. Their teeth bared, they snarled, ready to attack whatever it was that was going to jump out of the woods. Asher took the lead in his human form, his muscles bunched and ready to leap. He held a hand out to Cathy and the others to stall them from attacking.When Maggie started to move closer he snapped his eyes in her direction.“You should hide.”“No, I should stay and see who they are. I am done hiding.”“What if they attack?”“I’ll kill them.” Her fingers were curved into claws and her wolf’s claws gleamed in the sun ready to kill.He was amazed by her strength especially since he would see clearly that there was a slight tremor in her arms she still stood her ground and waited patiently. He admired her courage so much that he moved a bit so that he was standing between her and his pack and against their incoming enemies. The smell of blood was the first to re

Maggie was waiting for him when he came back and it was around late afternoon when he did. Cathy had stayed back to soak in the water for a bit. Usually, when they rendezvoused like this they would leisurely enjoy the water, letting the cool liquid wash the heat off their bodies. But there was no heat in him just a foreboding feeling.Maggie raised her brows as he approached. He was still naked from the waist up. He offered her a small smile and shrugged helplessly.Maggie raised her hands. “It’s none of my business.”“It isn’t. How is your bodyguard?”“Steph is taking care of him. She thinks he might have been stabbed with something called Mekai? I don’t know what that is.”He frowned. “Hmm, that’s not good for a wolf. Steph will take care of him.”Maggie nodded then she cocked her head toward the woods. “Do you think she has forgiven me for intruding in your home?”Asher smiled at her. “Cathy will come around.”“Hmm I don’t know, she seems to have it out for me. Are you both an item

Maggie’s reaction was swift as she flew off the seat, the wind whipping through her hair. Her legs stretched out and came in contact with the bark of a tree. She bent her knee and launched herself off the ground into the air and dropped firmly on the ground on her feet. The brown wolf had run into the woods due to its momentum when it ran into her. Noah had come to a stop beside her and his huge rubbery nose sniffed the air. She did the same but the smell of the wolf was unfamiliar which was not surprising. Even if it was a member of the Dark Storm pack there was no way they would be able to distinguish who it was since she was basically no longer a member of the pack.“Who are you?!” she shouted into the thick woods. Noah suddenly growled as he circled her, his amber eyes searching the woods for movements. “Noah?”His growl grew louder and even more ferocious. Sure enough, a twig snapped from the direction he was growling at and Maggie turned to look. To her surprise, there wasn’t o

“The Council has summoned her. They know she is still alive.”Lance looked back from the window. He was dressed in his suit and tie sans jacket, his chin held in between the thumb and index finger of his right hand which was propped on top of his left hand laying across his midsection. Vivian sat on one plush white leather sofa with her legs crossed, her blonde hair carefully combed over one shoulder leaving her ear exposed to display the huge diamond earring she wore.“Lance, did you hear what I said?” Ezekiel asked again. He was sitting across from Vivian.No, Lance thought to himself, I didn’t hear you. I was thinking about how I got myself entangled with a blonde bitch and how I let her get into my head with her maniac schemes.“I went to find her and found a messenger looking for her. According to him, the Council wants to see her. They know she’s alive. If she tells them her story do you know what that means?”“What does it mean?” Vivian asked with a hint of annoyance in her voi
