All Chapters of Between Two Naughty Wolves: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

CHAPTER 41: Shifting TidesVictoria’S POVHe stared at me as if I'd threatened to drop an atomic bomb. “What?! Are you crazy or something?! I’m not doing that right now!”A hot wave of anger flashed through me. “I suggest you watch your tone. You really, really don’t want to make me angry right now.”He crossed his arms, that pathetic stubborn look on his face. “No. I’m not gonna do that. Whatever this is, forget it.”Big mistake.I didn’t have full control yet but I had enough.. I focused, letting the strange energy uncoil inside me. It was draining like sprinting a marathon but so worth it. I met his defiant gaze and pushed.His eyes glazed over.. the defiance melted into confusion, then blank submission. “Wha… what are you…?” he mumbled, his body swaying.“Come here,” I commanded softly.Like a puppet on a string, he walked toward me, his movements jerky. He stopped right in front of me, his body trembling with the effort to resist. It was pointless.“On your knees.”He dropped

CHAPTER 43: Locked Out and Freaked OutAllison's POVOne second we were about to beg a witch for help.. the next, our two biggest nightmares were serving us tea and crumpets in her creepy parlor. Okay, fine, there was no tea. But there was Alpha Gerald, smirking like the cat who got the canary, the cream and the entire fucking dairy farm..!Jacob was already on his feet with a low vicious growl rumbling from his chest... a sound that was all predator and no man. His hands were twisted into deadly claws and his whole body was coiled, haunched and ready to spring.My own fight-or-flight response kicked into high gear. I scrambled up, putting Jacob’s broad back between me and the terrifying duo. My personal werewolf shield. Best accessory I’d ever had.Gerald just raised his hands in this mocking, ‘whoa-there’ gesture but the smirk never left his face. “Now, now, Jacob. Is that any way to greet an old friend? I’m not here for a fight. I just want to talk. That’s all.”“Talk?” Jacob’s g

CHAPTER 45: Orange Juice and BetrayalAllison's POVOkay, so getting grabbed from behind in a fancy bathroom is officially on my list of least favorite things. Right after getting chased by monster-wolves and being lied to by witches. My life is a real garbage fire lately.A pair of arms locked around me and my brain just short-circuited. Not again.. Seriously, who the hell is it this time? My fight-or-flight... which, let’s be honest, is mostly fight these days... kicked in hard. I spurned around, claws out and ready to introduce someone’s face to the ugly tile floor.“What the fuck?!” I snarled, my heart trying to punch its way out of my ribs.But it wasn’t some hired goon or a creepy witch. It was Derek and he looked like hell warmed over... pale and sweating with his eyes wide with pure panic.“Derek? Are you fucking kidding me?” I started to chew him out with my voice in a low angry hiss. “You stand me up for an hour and then you think ambushing me in the ladies’ room is a good

CHAPTER 47: A Brief Intermission Before the Oncoming ShitshowAllison's POVA polite, throat-clearing sound snapped me back. I turned to see Charles Wolfe staring at me keenly. The old man looked from me to the vibrating door and back again with one impeccably groomed silver eyebrow raised in a silent question.Right. Business. Even when your personal life is a tire fire on a sinking ship, the show must go on.I pasted on a smile that probably looked as convincing as a three-dollar bill. “Mr. Wolfe. Sorry about that. Just a little… lovers’ quarrel. You know how it is.” I waved a hand dismissively, hoping he’d buy it.He gave a slow, thoughtful nod, his eyes still holding a world of skepticism. “I see. Well, I was going to ask what...”He stopped himself mid-sentence, holding up a hand. “Actually, no. It is none of my concern what happens between you two lovebirds.” Thank god for small mercies and old-school discretion. He got straight to the point. “The reason I flew here, my de

CHAPTER 49: Naked, Sober, And All Out of F*cks to GiveAllison's POVTrees whipped past me as my paws hit the dirt like pistons, each thud echoing the beat of my heart. God, the guy could move!I was pushing my silver-furred ass to the absolute limit and Jacob’s black wolf was still a shadowy streak ahead, hell-bent on vanishing forever.'Jacob! For fuck’s sake, wait!'I screamed the words into the mind link, that weird silent phone line that crackled between our brains when we were like this. I felt our connection like a thrumming wire of emotion but it was like yelling into a hurricane because he wasn't listening.'Jacob, please! You have to stop! We need to talk! For real!'Nothing.. Just the sound of my own ragged breathing and the crunch of forest floor under my paws. I poured on more speed, my muscles screaming in protest. This was not how I’d planned to spend my evening. One minute I’m preventing a public murder, the next I’m in a furry footrace through the damn woods!Sudden
