"So we need to talk about Gary and his followers." Carr sat calmly in his chair as he gazed around the room at his Betas. Trey was missing of course, and so was Troy who understandably didn't want to leave his brother. "Jeff, first can we get a report on Trey's condition?" He looked over to the doctor sitting across from him."Trey had serious lacerations to his throat. His trachea was punctured, he lost a lot of blood. But luckily, his healing is coming along nicely. We got him stabilized, and now he just needs to lay quietly and let his body do it's work. Troy's job for now his keeping his brother in bed. Trey wants to get up and go kick Gary's ass."Some of the Betas chuckled at the remark. They all knew Trey, and he was not one to lay around. The nurses were going to have their hands full trying to keep him in line.Carr nodded to Jeff and turned to his brother. "And what does Karen know so far?"Cole cleared his throat. "She knows what we are

Craig wasn't sure this was going to go so well. He watched the Omegas scurrying around the house trying to clean and fix up the mess that the gray wolf caused when he tried to escape from the Betas last night. He could only hope the woman who lived here was running late after work. There was just no way they were going to be done. He'd been trying to think of a good cover story for the last seven hours. He had two hours left to concoct something believable. He wasn't holding out much hope. He scanned the front yard, at least it was in good shape and the living room window had been replaced. Maybe he should think of a way to delay her getting home in the first place. It would probably take a full day to make all the repairs.He laughed when his phone started ringing. James had programmed it to ring "Werewolves of London" whenever he called."Hey Craig, how's it going out there?""Where's your British accent? You don't sound like you're from London to me." Craig laughed but now it was t

They laid there together for another hour until Cole realized if they were going to stop Sarah from coming home they had to get moving. He gently shook her awake. "Its time to find Sarah baby. We have to go."He heard her mumbling "Where did these cubs come from?"He smiled down at his mate. He wondered if she could see the future. She seemed to dream of things that were meant to be, like becoming a wolf, mating with him, and cubs? He kissed her forehead and shook her fully awake. "Time to go baby."Thirty minutes later Cole and Karen were arriving at the hospital parking lot. It was the first time Karen had been away from the compound in a week. It seemed so much noisier out here. She already missed the comfort of Cole's home. She pointed out Sarah's car and was glad she hadn't made them late by falling asleep. She was still a little unnerved by her latest dream. Cubs? She really doubted anything like that would be possible. It wasn't like she was a sprin

Katy felt the hard push behind her and couldn't control her fall with her hands holding her elbows. She screamed, "Ahhhhhhh," and managed to scramble at the last minute to grab the edge of the well. "Help!" Her voice echoed back at her as she yelled and struggled to keep her hold on the crumbling side of the hole. "Help!" She couldn't even see the bottom of the shaft and knew if she fell she'd probably break her neck. She tried to find a foot hold and dug her fingers into the tiny nook they were holding. She could hear the growls and snarls of a wolf and the screams of a woman she hoped was Cheryl. She said out loud, "Please, please, Rhys, I can't lose you so soon." The tears streamed down her face as she prayed she could hold on long enough for someone to help her.Cheryl screamed with every slash of the sharp teeth and claws. She didn't even have a chance to shift to defend herself. "Let go of me you bitch! I'm here on Council business." She shrieked at the top of her lun

A gentle voice spoke as two strong arms grasped her. "I will never say goodbye little one, never." He pulled her out of the well and held her tightly to his body. He could feel her heart pounding, and her body shook as she sobbed. He stroked her hair as he carried her to a tree stump and sat down with her in his lap. He looked at her fingers, bloodied from trying to claw her way out of the well. He checked every one as he held her close.He turned to the auburn colored wolf. "Thank you Karen, thank you for saving my Katy." He cradled her in his arms, whispering in her ear to calm her. "I love you little one. I will always be with you." He could feel her body shaking violently. She was going into shock. "I have to get her to the doctor, I'll see you at the compound." He picked her up and started running back to meet the doctor.Katy felt like she was dreaming. The world around her was a blur. The only reality was the warm skin she felt next to her cheek. She knew it
