The assholes on the other side of the gate kept telling me the Alpha was on his way. That was over thirty minutes ago. This was bullshit. Gabriel was making me wait on purpose. He was probably sitting in the control room watching me pace and laughing his ass off.I should have listened to Bina and come together and have her do the talking. I told her I had to do this alone, and she respected my wishes.Now I was dealing with this shit.Fuck it. I wasn’t going to give any of them the satisfaction of watching me pace.  I leaned up against the grill of the fancy pickup I bought on the run the first time. We drove back from the airport on the other coast. Originally, we wanted to fly directly into Riverton, but I knew that would raise too many eyebrows.Between the both of us driving, we made it back to Riverton in a day and a half. Bina had to settle me down a few times, reminding me that nothing was going to make or break in a few days’ tim

I watched as Sori’s car sped up the hill.  I wanted to follow her; I didn’t like the look of panic on her face.But then the moan from behind me snapped my attention back into place. Seith stood in between Lucien and me, and I knew that look in his eye. I didn’t want to challenge my Beta, but he was not going to have the last word on this.I am the Alpha. What I say goes.I can smell his wolf, Zee said with a snarl. He is trapped and trying to come out.How do you know that? You can’t communicate outside the Pack.The soul bond you just completed changed that.Damn,Yeah, damn. I can’t hear him. I just sense emotion and he’s full of anxiety and feeling trapped.But I saw his eyes flash and Lucien’s arms actually sprouted hair. I think his wolf wanted out, but Lucien wouldn’t let him out.Z

I walked down the hallway toward our bedroom. I could hear Kali crying already, so I didn’t worry about silencing my footsteps. The door was locked, which surprised me.I knocked softly.Kali’s cries went from one side of the room to the other as Sori paced with her. The noise got louder as she approached the door.She looked tired and defeated when she opened the door. I got a forced smile and a chopped ‘hi’.“You okay?” I asked, reaching for her arm.She didn’t pull away, but she also didn’t lean into me.“Yeah, I just need to sort out my head,” she said sadly. “The whole debacle surfaced start to end, and it was too much.”I gently stroked her arm, not sure what to

I couldn’t believe my ears. Lucien was being flippant with me? How dare he! I could hear my heart pounding in my ears as it beat hard against my chest.“You!” I yelled. “You’ve got to be… wait, what did you say?”He looked at me sideways, turning his head each way as if I looked different from one angle to the next.“Your eyes. They were silver. In the dungeon.” His voice held a bit of awe. He closed his eyes, and slowly shifted backward until his head fell back against the wall.I looked at Gabriel, who said nothing but held up a single finger, and not the middle one, that silently told me to wait.“Lucien, what do you remember?” Gabriel asked softly.“Wha…” I started, but Gabriel quic

I turned in a circle, realizing this is the same place I’d been to in that dream I had. Except when did I fall asleep? I was sitting on the cot in the jail at Coralridge. I’d almost finished my turn when I saw Gabriel and the Wane girl… I mean Soraya, standing there.“What’s going on?”Gabriel motioned for me to shush. But why? “What kind of dream is this?”Gabriel looked at the ground and the Wane… Soraya’s hand covered her face, while shaking her head.“This is not a dream, wolf!” A thunderous voice sounded, causing me to jump.I turned in the direction of the voice and saw the same ethereal woman I saw in my dream and thought was Luna.“You’re real?” I asked.Gabriel shook his head, and Soraya looked at me and said, “Are you really that stupid?”I opened my mouth to refute what she just said, but before I could th
