“Come on,” I said to Jace urgently, and he ran to me.“You’re bleeding,” he said, and I looked down.“I’ll be fine,” I said.I moved down the block of containers, about three rows away from where Falcon was, and toward the entrance where we had come in. The shots came at intervals now, and I hid Jace in a corner where he wouldn’t be spotted behind the pallets of wood.“I’ll come get you. Don’t move, no matter what,” I said. Jace didn’t say a word, but he crouched down low behind the wood. I went back to the front part of the containers, and crouched down on one knee, and started shooting.I saw it too late, and I felt the barrel against the back of my head. I lowered my rifle to the floor, and lifted my arms in surrender. “Get up, you’re that fag’s friend, the one from the club,” he said, and I stood up, and turned around. He smiled as he aimed the rifle at my face. “Move there where your friends can see you.”He shouted something to his friends in Spanish, and they withdrew to the s

Kiran shook his head and looked at Adara. “Easy, Adara. He just got back like five minutes ago. Give him a chance to just be at home before you bombard him with questions.”Falcon stood up suddenly, realization dawning in his eyes as he looked intently at Jace. “What is it?” I asked him.“Jace has something he needs to tell you,” Falcon said, and I looked from Falcon to Jace.“What?” Jace asked him.“About that night you were taken,” Falcon said, and clenched his fists. Jace looked down, and I frowned.“Talk,” Kiran said in his Alpha voice, and I saw Jace swallow nervously.“When those guys came to the club, Kevin pointed me out to them. I don’t know what happened before I got there, but Kevin basically sold us out,” Jace said, softly.“Who is this Kevin?” Kiran asked.“I thought he was my friend,” Jace said.Kiran stood up, and gave me a look before walking off toward his study. I followed Kiran down the hall and prayed that Jace would keep his mouth shut about the other adventures

Bryan met Malachi and Levi on the tarmac as they exited the Council jet in New York. Malachi had received an image from an unknown number the night before. Conrad Baugarten’s lifeless body with a bullet hole in his forehead had been the subject of that image, just like Alex Jennings had promised.Malachi sat in the back of the SUV next to Levi, as Bryan drove through traffic to the Council building. There would be an uproar about Conrad’s murder, and the Council would expect a full investigation into one of their own.Malachi headed up to the boardroom, flanked on either side by Bryan and Levi, and Quintin trailing behind them. The three other sitting Alphas were already waiting for him.“Lucas, Gregory, Joseph,” Malachi greeted them, and they bowed their heads as he took his seat at the head of the table.“People are whispering that Conrad’s been executed,” Joseph said.“And so he has been,” Malachi said.Joseph narrowed his eyes. “You knew about this?”“Yes,” Malachi confirmed.“Did

I couldn’t figure out what was going through James’ mind, or how worried I should be. He wanted me to make Kari fall in love with me again. I’d been convinced that he would prefer me to stay far away from her, and that the two of us together would be the last thing he would want.I wasn’t sure that I wanted Kari to love me again. Going to California had opened my eyes to the possibilities out there. Kari was comfortable, sure, but when I needed her the most, and wanted to be there for her when she needed me, she shut me out.I walked toward the firing range and opened the door. I would never be able to unsee what I saw there. “Falcon!” They stopped kissing and Falcon looked guiltily at me. Tala stood with her back to me, and she didn’t turn around. Falcon’s back was against the wall, and he still had his arms around her.I shook my head, walked back outside, and started to laugh. I should’ve seen it coming. Falcon was like Levi, so it made sense for Tala to like him, but they’d barel

I drove home and Falcon stood on the patio, looking deep in thought. He walked toward me when he saw the Jeep and frowned when I slammed the door shut.“What’s wrong with you?”“Kari, she’s … I don’t understand what’s going on with her,” I said to him.“I feel you, man,” he said, and I smiled. His dilemma was a bit worse than mine. Tala was only 16.“We should really talk, you and me. I know almost nothing about you,” I said, and he smiled.“I know that you rocked it,” he said, and I laughed loudly. Raven. She was exciting, bold, knew what she wanted, and took it. For some reason, I also couldn’t get her out of my mind.“Dude, you can’t say shit like that when Kari’s around,” I said to him, seriously. “We just sort of imprinted on the beach.”“Welcome to the club,” Falcon said, with a grin as we walked inside the house.Jace and Adara were busy with dinner in the kitchen, and we sat down at the counter. “What did you buy us?”“Us?” Adara looked at me, and I smiled.“Yeah, us.
