Lucas’s POV“You sure this is the right place?” Nancy asks as she puts the SUV in park and leans forward to peer up at the large two-story house. “It looks a little… fancy.”If I hadn’t typed the address Doc gave me into the GPS myself, I’d have my doubts too because Keiran obviously wasn’t kidding when he said the Smyrna pack had money. The house isn’t overly flashy, but it’s definitely bigger than anything we have in Sweet Water.A knock at my window startles a growl out of me, and I spin toward the dark-haired man standing in the driveway beside the SUV, my lips pulling away from my teeth.The man outside the vehicle is older than me, maybe in his late twenties with dark hair and eyes. I study his face, eyes narrowing. Even though I only met him briefly and didn’t pay much attention to him at the time, I’m pretty sure this guy must be Doc.Here goes nothing.Doc takes a step back as I plaster a smile on my face and exit the SUV.The guy’s face only brings up vague memories, but he

???Awareness returns in bits and pieces. A sound. A scent. The feeling of something soft brushing against my limbs. My hazy mind drifts along an unfamiliar current, glimpses of long forgotten memories flashing by too quickly for me to grasp. Through it all, something in my chest hums with a kind of contentedness I haven’t experienced in a while.Unfortunately, that feeling doesn’t last longer than it takes for me to open my eyes.Bright light assaults my senses like an intangible knife stabbing at my brain. I wince away from the pain, closing my eyes and turning my throbbing head to the side. My mouth is dry, throat sore, and the pounding ache in my head makes it impossible for me to think.There’s something important I’m forgetting.More so than usual. But my mind is too scattered to put everything together.The surface I’m lying on is pleasantly soft and creates a comfortable cradle for my body, but still, nothing feels right. Not my head. Not my paws. And not my body.I’m too… lon

???Something cold and wet brushes against my skin and I peek out through the small gap between my arms. A large reddish-brown wolf stands there, the scent surrounding him familiar. Pine and musk and fur.The man from the chair… this is his wolf form.The desire to touch him tingles at my fingertips, but that ingrained fear is still there, and I can’t seem to make myself move. My lip trembles and my eyes burn, my body unsure what to do even as those parts of me I don't understand tell me the wolf in front of me is safety, security, and home.The wolf takes a half step backward and sits down on his haunches, holding my gaze. He simply stares at me, not moving any closer, as if waiting for me to come to him. I slowly drop my arms and meet his eyes, more comfortable doing that now that he’s in a form more familiar to me.Well, familiar in that it’s one he shares with me.The wolf cocks his head to the side, and I inch my hand toward him, the action more reflex than thought. He lowers his

Lucas’s POVMy mate gives me a sleepy blink, a contented—I hope—smile on his face. He hums again, rubbing his cheek against the underside of my arm as I carefully rinse the shampoo from his hair. The desire to kiss him hasn’t gone anywhere, but I’m not an idiot and I know now is not the time.As adorable as my mate is, all wet with his hair sticking , and as affectionate as he’s being now that his fear seems to have receded, that’s a comfort thing, a touch starved shifter needing closeness.Not sex.Especially when he’s still half lost in his wolf and I don’t even know his name.Once all the shampoo is out of his hair, I grab some conditioner and run that through the tangled strands as carefully as possible. There are a couple snarls that I can’t get loose and will probably have to be cut out, but at least his hair is clean now.Next, I pick up a washcloth and run it over his shoulders, down his arms, and across his chest. Dirt washes away revealing a lot of soft, pale skin. I can cou

Omega’s POVThe next time I wake, my mind isn’t quite as scattered. The world feels clearer, and for the first time in years, things also feel… closer somehow.As if there’d been a mental wall between me and everything else and now it’s gone. My human form doesn’t seem as alien to me and my human brain is able to process thoughts and make connections more fluidly.I wasn’t stupid as a wolf. My human side was still in there, but I didn’t have the same level of cognitive thinking ability I do in human form.But even if my thoughts aren’t as foggy and my brain’s processing power isn’t quite as slow, I don’t exactly feel better. My limbs, especially my right leg, ache, and there’s a persistent throbbing in my head. Plus, I’m still exhausted, my energy completely sapped by… I have no idea, though I’m sure it has something to do with being starved and experimented on for years. And drugged half out of my mind for who knows how long.A memory of fiery pain dances along my nerves and a shiver
