Phaedra“Idon’t even understand why I need to pay you at all,” whined Mrs. Marigold Rider, a slender woman with a pretty severe resting bitch face. She had her hand in her coin purse and was counting out my pay for the day. “You’re a shiftless disgrace, not even worth ten dollars.”I tried to keep my face expressionless, but she’d hit me in the spot where I was most tender, most bruised. My inability to shift into my wolf form had caused me to lose everything. It was the reason I was standing here now, enduring this abuse.Maybe you should worry more about your own problems, like the fact that your son isn’t your husband’s. That was wanted I wanted to say, but I said nothing. Pointing out Mrs. Rider’s dirty laundry would only raise suspicion. She would ask how I knew she’d been unfaithful, and that was a question I could never answer.“Here,” she said, dropping the coins and crumpled dollars in my waiting hand. “Now, get out of my sight.”She walked off, and I turned to walk down the

After rinsing the clothes, it was time to hang them to dry. The den was several years old, and the dirt stairs leading up easily held my weight and that of my damp clothes as I ascended. I spread my clothes out on the clothesline beneath a large Douglas fir. By nightfall, they would be dry, even if it rained. I didn’t have to worry about anyone stealing my things—nothing in my den was worthy of theft.It was late afternoon by the time I was done, the sun sinking toward the horizon. Time for me to head to the sacred lands to do my second job.I finished my can of peaches and drank the juice down. The empty can would get me a couple of cents from the vendors who repurposed the aluminum, so I washed it out and left it by the other cans.With my stomach full enough, I headed off to the sacred lands. These lands were surrounded by coniferous trees and wildlife, which were always a bit of a pain for me to get through. If I could shift, I would be able to dodge and weave between the trees an

With Isle Royale far behind me, I could find somewhere to live on the mainland. Maybe I’d get off the island and stay. I could settle down in Michigan or go somewhere else. All that mattered was that I would be with humans like me, and I’d be able to find my place among them.“People will believe any sign of the divine,” I said with a smirk. “Even small ones.”El laughed. “When did you become an expert on theology?”“Well, I only have my own experiences. I’ll use myself as an example. I was supposedly a gift from Holo herself to be Connor Salcedo’s chosen mate once he became alpha. Look at me now. Pretending to be the goddess just to make enough to save some money.”Five years ago, my friends and family had abandoned me. I wasn’t my parents’ biological daughter. They found me and took me in. After living my entire life in Wilcox pack lands, the place where the rich, high-class wolves enjoyed incredible luxury, I was cast out. Everyone in my life told me that I was “special”, but when

Asher Wesson, alpha of the Dagger pack, stood naked in front of the statue. His tanned skin seemed to glow with supernatural light in the soft moonlight. He was tall, his body lithe and taut with hard, lean muscle. He removed the clothing he’d tied around himself—a white button-down and dark pants—and dressed. He pushed feathery, dark chocolate hair out of his eyes and looked up at the statue. My heart was pounding so hard, I wondered if he could hear it. Wolves had heightened senses, and if he was an alpha, I imagined his senses were even more attuned to prey. I.e. me.I trembled as I watched him walk forward. He was the enemy. Over the past few months since William, his father, was killed, Asher had led the Dagger pack to take more and more territory from the Wilcox pack.Because of his success, Asher had earned the reputation of being a dangerous, calculating, ruthless alpha. The Dagger pack was unique in that they seemed to spend a ton of their time in their wolf forms. People sai
