11. The lie

Hope“What the hell are you doing?” Ben says, the moment I walk through the warrior barracks.I freeze mid-step, giving him my best bashful smile. “Did I get a chance to tell you how amazing you are? Seriously, like the best friend ever.”His face sets into the hard line I imagine a brother would give his meddlesome sister.“Hope,” he draws out my name.I wanted to avoid this for as long as possible but Ben can’t be my partner if he isn't aware of what's going on. Plus I'm kinda tired of lying.Tell him. He is a good male and can help, my wolf urges.The fact that she wants help shocks me and serves as proof that this is harder for her than we realized.For a moment, Keith's scent brought her forward and the pain of longing for the Kieth I knew at the beginning of our mating ran through me. I had to remind myself what this was, who he turned out to be in order to step away.That's why I need Ben, at least until Keith leaves and goes back to the Lotus pack.“I—I can explain,” I say sea

12. Ridiculous dinner

HopeTwo months ago.I sit on the edge of my bed after returning from the warrior barracks. I need to be alone for a few hours. There is only so much time before I’m face to face with Keith again and my only goal is putting distance between us.I growl, flopping back and covering my eyes with the back of my hands. I try to quiet my mind but the memory returns before I can stop it.“Hope, please,” Keith says. His voice comes from below so I guess he is kneeling. His hands tremble when he touches mine. “I’ll take care of you. I’ll be your eyes.”I push his hands off mine. “My eyes? You were supposed to be my everything. My mate. My champion. The other half of my soul. You were the one person who was never supposed to hurt me and you handed me to those monsters!”Silence stretches between us like a blade.“I know I failed you,” he whispers, voice thick. “But I’ll make it right. Just give me time.”“No.”“ No?” He says, incredulously.“Why should I give you anything when you didn't give

13. Change

Hope“I’d be insulted if you didn't want to sit next to me if your choice wasn't to be across from my daughter’s. They are far more interesting than an old male like me,” Papa beams like he’s already picking out wedding flowers.He doesn't notice Karen stiffening beside him.I see it immediately.He's trying to play matchmaker.Goddess help us.Keith looks at me before he says, “They are indeed good company. I enjoyed my tour earlier.”“Very good,” Papa replies. “Have you had a chance to speak with Tessa?”Ben’s fork scrapes against his plate but he covers up the noise by clearing his throat.Okay so we're not going to be subtle then.“I can't say I have,” Keith says amicably. “I’m sure she was busy with training.”“That's right. Which is why you asked Hope to take him around the grounds,” Tessa adds, shooting Papa a warning glance I don't think he cares to notice.“You know Tessa is actually our Head Enforcer in charge of all our warriors. She is accomplished in hand to hand combat,

14. Game

KeithDamn it.Ben and Hope are sitting way too close. After their little rendezvous outside on the balcony they came back inside to eat dessert with the rest of us.Their elbows brush against each other like they are comfortable entering the personal space of one another. I can see the way she leans slightly toward him, casual and familiar, like it’s nothing.Like he’s everything.Like his presence brings her comfort.Her sister sits on his other side in a similar manner and he is in the center, a blonde God surrounded by his devotees.And I’m just… across the table.Invisible.She spent most of the dinner looking at her plate or him, avoiding eye contact with me completely.My wolf snarls at the male.Mine, my Lycan growls.I can feel the bloodlust rampaging through my veins. My incisors threaten to drop, ready to challenge Ben.I clench my jaw so tight I feel something pop near my temple.I’m amazed I made it through this entire dinner.Fix your frown.I didn't realize you were so

15. The same nightmare

Hope“I’m not a nurse,” I snap.Papa just chuckles. “You’re his guide. His liaison. It’s not permanent, sweetheart.”“I don’t want to be near him. I’ve already taken him around the pack and now I'm going to bring him to Emma's for his first session. He's not a pup, he's a grown male. An Alpha. I'm sure he can make his way.”Papa’s smile dims as he studies me. “It’s not about what you want, Hope. It’s about what the pack needs. Be polite. Be hospitable plus I have a feeling the Alpha is keen on you.”“Papa!” I say, outraged.“I'm just putting it out there. Being nice wouldn't hurt for pack relations regardless.”I grit my teeth and walk out before I say something I’ll regret.Internally my stomach plummets. Papa knows something or at the very least he suspects it.He can sense our mate's desires for us, my wolf said.Ugh. Why can't he just go home?Sickness, my wolf reminded me.That's right. The mysterious illness he’s seeing Emma for.A mist of awareness coats my body as I make my wa

16. I've been drugged

Hope“When I wake up… will you still be here?”Keith's voice is soft, uncertain. He lies on the therapy chair, eyes searching mine.Part of me feels like he can sense my discomfort, but that can't be possible. We haven't mated or established any type of connection yet.Emma beseeches me with her eyes, tilting her head slightly to urge me to say yes.“Yeah. I'll be in the waiting room when you’re finished,” I say.Emma explained to Keith that doing the hypnotherapy would allow her to bring his beast forwards and connect to them to explore what is going on.Her ability to not only heal the physical body but the metaphysical one of our wolves is what sets her part from other healers.“Okay. I'll hold you to it,” he says.“Keith, get comfortable on the couch,” Emma says and then turns to me gesturing towards the door. “Let me speak to you for a minute.”I follow her and she closes her examination room door softly.“That was unexpected.”“Yeah. I wasn't even aware of his struggles with his

17. Lycan blood

KeithThe moment my eyes open, I sit up.There is none of the grogginess I expected when Emma mentioned Hypnosis. I feel around in my head and find my beasts tired but intact.“How are you feeling?”“Alright. Did you make any progress on your exam?”She smiles in a motherly, comforting way. “Well we have some good leads and your beast seems aware of the merge happening but the dreams are still something that eludes us.”Great, we'll at least have that one thing under control.“So what’s my prognosis?”“Do you remember when your wolf first emerged?”“Yes I was eight years old. It was like suddenly someone else was sharing my mind. At the same time there were all these physical changes in my strength, my heightened senses and metaphysical instincts.”“Exactly. Well in your case, with your lineage, your Lycan has not only emerged as a separate entity but it appears as though this is just a transition phase into something I don't believe has been seen before. That's why I want to contact

18. Her step brother

KeithI've never felt rage like this before. The white hot fire scalding my veins turns my vision black.I charge toward the alley, fists clenched, heart in my throat as I look at the bastards who have their hands on my mate.My drugged mate.With all of their eyes on me I have the perfect view to watch Hope transform from a sluggish victim to a wildcat.In one move she twists out of their hold, landing in crouch by their feet. She only takes a moment before she sweeps her leg out, albeit unsteady, taking one of her attackers off their feet.He cries out and the other two are stuck in between us, recognizing her possible escape yet recognizing me as the threat I am and unwilling to let me out of their sight.I thought I was going to be saving her.But she doesn’t need saving.Not even close.She slams the second guy into a wall with a strength impressive for her size and finishes him off with a knee to his gut that makes him double over.“Who the fuck sent you?” she slurs, the anger p

19. Mine

HopeMy skin’s on fire.Not burning. Buzzing. Tingling like sparks are dancing under my skin. The heat is a never ending pulse, and ache that highlights the emptiness inside of me.My wolf whines and pants, paws and calls out to her mate.She can sense his proximity and she knows he can give her what she needs.That he can fill the chasm inside of us.Mate. Mate. Mate, she chants.My nails dig into the leather seats of Keith's car.His scent is a siren calling out to me in tones of smoke and rain.My breath comes fast. My fingers tremble form the force it takes to hold them in place.“Are you sure you don't want to go to Emma instead,” Kieth asks again.“No. Keep driving.”Even in my delirious state the thought of going back to Blue Rock and having my father possibly see me in a throes of frenzied lust is mortifying.No.I rather deal with this outside pack borders.“Can I at least know where we are going?” Keith inquires.My heart’s racing—and not from fear.From him.Form the sound

20. Touch Her

KeithThe mere thought of Ben touching Hope... Holding her….comforting her...It is enough to make my blood boil, to loosen the reins of my control until I was nothing but instinct and action.My thoughts fracture into shards of rage and possessiveness. Every cell in my body screams at me to stop it, to stop her from walking away and seeking out the golden haired brute for comfort.There shouldn't be any other male but me on her mind when she's hurt or scared or in need.My wolf and Lycan merge, their feeling becoming a tidal wave of raw power. My beast is desperate to be free, to end this—end him—before Ben could get anywhere near Hope.It doesn't matter that he wanted Tessa, it doesn't matter that Hope had finally confirmed what I already knew, that they weren't together.All that matters is that every time Hope ran from me the barrier she uses to keep me away is him.What else did I have to do to prove I wanted this mating?I would spend weeks—months—chasing Hope if that's what s
