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

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

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

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

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
