"All I’m hearing is an old man who’s terrified of a girl. Is that really it, Javi? Is that what has your entire clan shaking?"​Javi balled his hands into fists. "Dammit! Just listen to me. Her great-grandfather carried the Edemas blood. Do you understand the weight of that? I know your father shared the legends with you. Everyone knows them."​This was a detail Valerian hadn't dug up yet. I wanted to hear every bit of information he had, so I gave him a nod to keep going.​"The grandmother was a hybrid. The lineage exists, but her father was born with human genes and her mother was entirely human. That means the Edemas line has been watered down."​"I’m going to cut you off right there," I interjected. "If the bloodline is so thin, why do you view Lyanna as such a massive threat?"​"That is exactly what I’m trying to explain, for God's sake. That’s why she can’t be permitted to live. If she were to pair up with a shifter, there’s a possibility the sleeping beast within her would reac

Once we finished eating, Leo took me on a stroll through the downtown area, and our conversation continued. It was easily one of the most romantic nights I've ever experienced. I couldn't even quite put into words why. A part of me suspected it was the connection we shared; we both understood we were destined for one another. That definitely contributed to the joy of being near him, but it didn't matter to me. I just wanted to keep moving down the path, hand in hand, lost in talk.​It was nearing eleven when we finally made it back, and I couldn't stop smiling. The evening had been flawless. I was still feeling a bit of a glow from the drinks we'd enjoyed at a sophisticated little lounge. A warm, pleasant sensation settled over my body as we walked in from the garage. Leo reached out, caught my arm, and pulled me toward him. It caught me off guard, but the second his lips met mine, the shock vanished.​His hands moved down to rest on my hips as he broke the kiss. "I just wanted to tel

“Um... hey.” ​“Hey, Leo,” Mom said, while flipping through the pages of a magazine. ​“Where is Lyanna?” I looked around the room, but she was nowhere to be seen. ​Mom motioned toward the staircase. “She mentioned she had a headache and went up to lay down.” ​I turned immediately, intending to head upstairs and see how she was doing. I only got a few steps toward the staircase before Mom called out to me. “Leo, we need to have a word.” ​I shut my eyes and exhaled slowly before turning back toward her. “What is it, Mother?” ​“Don't use that tone with me. Come over here and sit.” ​I knew this wasn't going to be pleasant. I’d been through these types of conversations my whole life. When I was a kid, it was usually about my grades, following the rules, or picking on my brothers. Now that I am an adult, it was typically about my personal life, my shop, pack business, or when I planned to settle down with a mate. These talks were never enjoyable, and I had a sinking feeling this one w

“Listen, pal, I’ve got a dick at home to play with. I guarantee it’s nicer than yours. So order a drink or leave me alone.”​Deep down, I was stunned that those words had even crossed my lips. I was never the type to be foul-mouthed with my customers. A part of me felt humiliated that I’d sunk to his level, but another part of me was practically beaming with pride and... was I growling? It was the wolf’s doing; I could feel her presence.​The guy’s gaze sharpened, and his smirk shifted from flirtatious to something much more malicious. “You’ve got a smart mouth. Maybe I need to shove something in it,” he snarled, grabbing my arm with a rough grip.​Fury. The second I felt his hand on my skin, that was all I could experience. Pure, unadulterated rage. It was boiling and red-hot, razor-sharp and searing like lava. I looked up at him, and his expression instantly withered. Whatever look I was giving him must have been absolutely haunting. My lips pulled back over my teeth in a snarl. I c

When we finally crested a ridge overlooking the Smoky Mountains, the whole landscape looked like it was engulfed in flames. Thick clouds sat so low in the gaps and valleys that they mimicked heavy drifts of smoke, making it immediately obvious how the range earned its name. ​“This is incredible,” Lyanna whispered as we took it all in. ​“It really is,” I replied. ​She slid her hand into mine, her skin feeling refreshingly cool against my palm. “Thank you so much for bringing me out here.” ​“Don't mention it. I'm just happy to be here with you.” ​“I get so wrapped up in the business that I honestly forget to do things like this. I've got the money to travel every year, but I just never carve out the time for myself.” ​I chuckled. “I’m exactly the same way.” ​“It’s a shame it took a near-death experience for me to actually go on a trip.” ​On our final day, we made the trek down into Gatlinburg. It was definitely an experience, a bit touristy, but we had a blast. Lyanna got a kick
