ISAIAH I felt a headache throbbing against my head. Then, slowly, I opened my eyes and saw a blur run out of my room. Who the hell was that, I wondered as I looked around and noticed I was lying a few feet away from my bed. Naked. How the hell did I end up on the floor? I took a minute to stabilize myself before slowly getting up off the floor. "Not our mate. You should be ashamed," Devon growled. "Yeah, well, where were you last night? I didn’t hear you stopping me then," I snapped back. He growled at me inside my mind and disappeared. Good, I didn’t need his mouth right now. There was a knock on the door, and with each one, my head felt like it would split. "Breakfast is ready, sweetie. Come downstairs," my mother yelled. I dragged myself to the bathroom and showered as I tried to remember the events from last night. The last thing I remembered was going to my room and showering. Then there was a girl waiting for me on my bed. I returned to my messy be

ISAIAH Three weeks later I left the bathroom and noticed Zira sitting on my bed on her phone. Immediately, the memories of our passionate night came flooding my mind. Not right now, not right now. I focused on controlling my urges as I prepared for this arrangement with Alpha Zack. There were a few details about this marriage arrangement we had to iron out before signing this little treaty between packs. After some studying, I knew he needed this more than we did. Recently, his pack has been subjected to frequent attacks. With our help, we could make it non-existent. Thanks to my dad, my warriors were thirsty for some action. I rushed to my closet before she had a chance to look up and put on some boxers and a tank top. She smiled when I walked to the bed to get my jeans. "I think I finally convinced your diabolical sister not to poison your mom’s tea," Zira said, standing up. "Yeah, is that all she was planning to do," I asked, knowing my sister had a plan b an

ISAIAH   The moment she kissed me, nothing else seemed to matter. Everything felt right in place. No one existed in the room but us. I pulled her closer to deepen the kiss. I wanted as much of her as I could get.    "Ahem," my mother interrupted loudly. "Well, isn’t this a twist of events?"  

VICTORIA  I couldn’t believe my eyes. Storming out of Isabella’s room, I bumped right into Alaia. Of all the people in the world, she was the last person I expected to see…and here of all places. I knew Alpha Zack was going to be here, but not her. Last I heard, she was locked away in some institution, but no. She was standing here, looking at me with her stupid, innocent eyes, but it was wasted on me. I knew exactly who she was—a person who ruins people’s lives.  

ISAIAH After the altercation with Victoria, Alaia quickly moved me through the packhouse without explaining how they knew each other. The way Victoria looked at her was more of someone frightened than surprised. Still, I couldn’t focus on that too much, especially with Alaia’s happy face smiling back at me. "You know we can do as much touring as you want when you get back," I said as Alaia pulled me into another room of the pack house. There was a dark walnut bookcase lining the entire left wall. There was a black sectional with a fur pelt draped over one of the arms, lined with fluffy red and black pillows. A large fireplace and mantle with bookshelves on both sides sit on the right wall. The mantle is littered with picture frames of my family and friends. An L-shaped mahogany desk is etched with intricate designs in the middle of the room. To the right of the desk stood floor-to-ceiling double bay windows with red blackout curtains that led out to a small balcony over
