Nikitas POVThis must be a joke. One of the wolves from White Claw pack must be messing with me. Keeva is human, she can’t open a mindlink with me. ‘Canagan, Keeva has mind linked me to tell me she is in trouble. They are running from the Midnight Clan and need help.’ Better to be safe than sorry. The woods around me are dark but alive with the sound of insects, the constant buzz sends vibrations through my head. Those silly new women have made me so late going to see Celeste and Zev is going to be mad at me for being gone so long. He wanted to leave tonight, well before Alpha Channon was anywhere near back from his summons to the vampire scum. What could possibly have happened that the three of them are running for their lives? Keeva can’t have a wolf, we would have been able to sense it and there is no way it she could have lied and hidden it from us. She wouldn’t have been put through her ordeal with Zev, let alone the years of whispers and gossiping from the pack if she knew she w

Canagan’s POVWell knock me over with a feather! I never thought Blake and Bleiz would ever find their fated mates, let alone be fated to the same wolf. Ebony is a good match too, as Channon’s Beta she is strong minded and physically tough enough to deal with my two stubborn lads. Blakes strong shoulder is from under my hand when I slap him on the back in congratulation. As usual he plays it cool, like its no big deal. Bleiz, on the other hand, won’t shut up about her. A pang of jealousy hits my hard in the heart and I grieve for the mate I have never had. ‘Round on me boy’s.’ Three whiskeys later and we are all getting a bit merry. ‘Canagan’ Oh Lord, what the heck does Nikita want now. She has been nothing but trouble, always pulling Keeva into her badly judged drama too. ‘Your joking?’ I signal the boy to stop drinking. We need to have our wits about us. If this is true then Channon, Keeva and Jonas could already be cold and stiff on the ground or turned by those vic

Celeste’s POV It’s too late now. If I go back to the coven without her, after kicking up such a fuss to come back here and save her ass, then I will be a laughing stock. I can’t believe she hasn’t even been to see me. I thought for sure she would be at the market selling her usual fruit and veggies, but instead her spot was abandoned. It’s not like I can just walk into her packs home and ask to see her. Is it? I mean, Keeva might be pretty upset and angry to see me, after all, it was my request for Julius canines that pushed Nikita to the unthinkable. If I could just explain that I had no choice, that my Coven had forced my hand, she might forgive me. Saying you want someone dead and killing them are two very different things. My little home is still basically bare as all my belongings were moved to my new place. My makeshift bed is in the corner where my bed used to be. It is just a few thick blankets laid on the floor and a pillow. It will do I suppose. I hadn’t planned on staying

Channon’s POVHer scream pulls me out of the darkness of sleep and I sit bolt upright. My body is weak and a wave of nausea washes over me. I don’t care. I fling my feet with all my effort onto the floor and try and pull myself to a somewhat upright position. Fuck! I hit the floor hard and my knees smash into the unyielding surface with a thunderous bang. Ophelia bursts into the room with the force of a small rhinoceros and I almost laugh at the look of horror on her face. ‘Keeva needs me.’ The small voice that leaves my lips doesn’t sound or feel like my own. ‘Jonas has taken the Delta’s and they are nearly with her. She is still here on the grounds. Don’t worry Kekere mi, she will be fine.’ Her words would normally sooth my soul but now they just agitate me. I don’t want Jonas to save her. I want to be the knight in shining armour who rides in and saves the day. I weakly struggle to pull myself from the floor, using the table next to the bed to help me. I cling on to it for dear lif

Celeste’s POVThe way her lips trace the curve of my neck send shivers down my spine and a glorious warmth spreads through my insides. ‘Nikki, please, we need to talk.’ A slight sense of fear grips me when her response is nothing more than a hungry growl and she nips at my ear. She doesn’t bite hard but with just enough pressure that the pain makes me freeze. The warmth radiating through me spreads down to my pussy and I feel my juices start to flow. Her nose if right near my ear as she gentle kisses my neck again, right In the sensitive bend towards my shoulder. She takes a huge sniff, inhaling the air between us deeply. ‘You smell so good.’ Her voice is thick with lust. She moves on hand onto my thigh and slides it slowly up towards my crotch.‘Do you want me Celeste?’ There sing song tone of her voice makes me cringe, she knows I want her and how long I have dreamed of having her kiss me like this. ‘Yes, Nikita. I crave you.’ I gaps out a shallow breath as she slips her small delic
