"Don't worry Mom, I'll be with you or with Carol, she promised we could go to the lake with Olivia. It's still warm enough to go out on their boat and do some water skiing." It was pretty late in the season in Minnesota, it wouldn't be warm but we had higher body temperatures than humans and with wetsuits we would be fine. I had been water skiing on the Missouri River since I was four, it was a blast. "I'll behave for the meet and greet and then we'll be back for dinner.""We know you will, Ella. We love you, we just want the best for you."I looked out the window, we had taken the exit from I-94 and were now moving through the outskirts of the small city. "Me too, Dad, but what is best for me is a third or fourth son of an Alpha. I'm just scared of what happens if my mate ends up being a first son.""We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, Ella. No matter what, we'll be happy you're with your mate."Why a third or fourth son? Well, the first son was the Alpha heir, and the second

"Dad? How much should I talk about our Pack business?" I talked to him over our family bond."A lot of it is public knowledge, Ella. I'm sure they already know about how big Alpha Holdings has become since the Bakken oil boom started. Just don't brag."I looked back at her. "I suppose so, but I really don't want to leave the Midwest and I have no desire to ever live on the East Coast. By Luna, can you imagine being a wolf out there? You'd have to drive for hours to take a run. Going to the Twin Cities is pushing it, but I have to in order to get a good school.""Well, the good news is that we will still be able to get together. My Pack is only three hours north, and Olivia will be on your way home. They are at least buying you a car, right?"I snorted. "My parents don't believe in just giving me stuff, I have to work for it. They will match whatever I save, so there is that. They are paying for my school and room and board, but I have to earn my own spending money.""That sucks, I tho

I was rolled over onto my back and taken into a pair of strong arms that lifted me out of the water. I looked up to verify what my wolf already knew. It was David. David Tanner.He held me to his broad chest and walked back to the blanket with me as tears ran down my face. The drug had almost paralyzed me by now, I could no longer move my arms or legs and I was losing feeling. I reached into my mind for my wolf, but she couldn't do anything. We were helpless and alone.He set me down and Curtis and Nathan each took an arm to hold me in a sitting position. David kneeled in front of me between my limp legs. "Just relax, Ella, it will be over in a moment. Eventually you'll realize this was all for the best." His canines started to elongate as he leaned forward."Don't do this," I said. "I'll never forgive you; I'll kill you for this."He laughed. "The bond forgives all sin, my Ella. Your wolf won't let you hurt your mate."I did the only thing I could; I spit in his face. His face change

I awoke to a weird feeling, my right leg was wet and was being lifted. I pushed my thoughts through the fog as my eyes slowly opened. I was still in the cabin, still naked, and he was still here.I reached for my wolf in my mind but she was barely conscious, and couldn't do much for me. I looked down; the blanket and sheet had been removed and David was giving me a sponge bath. He was sitting at the end of the bed with my legs over his. "Really? Do I smell that bad?""Your smell is wonderful, love, it's just a bit strong right now. I thought you might feel better if I got you cleaned up a little, got the lake smell off of you." He stroked the sponge down my calf. "And I don't mind, it gives me an excuse to lay my scent down on you later."I huffed a little and laid back, still a little woozy from the drugs. "Can I get something to eat and drink, then? I'm starving.""That, my dear, depends on how much you cooperate." He set my right leg down and picked up my left, starting to clean it

I pulled the door open and stepped outside, stumbling a little on the way to his Ford F-150. The drugs, the blood loss and the shock of losing my wolf were all hitting me at once; I barely made it to the truck. Opening the door, I pulled myself into the cab while protecting my left hand against my chest. The pillowcase was already soaked through with blood, and it was dripping down onto my shirt.I was in no shape to drive, but I had no choice. I started it up, put it in gear and headed down the dirt trail as fast as I could go with only one hand. There was no telling how long I had before his family and Alpha Goodwin's pack members would arrive, and I had no doubt what they would do if they caught me.I made it to a paved road. Decision time. I didn't know exactly where I was, but I knew the territory was north of St. Cloud so I turned south. I used my teeth to tighten the sheet and grasped it with my fingers, then used my rink and pinky fingers to hold on to the panic grip, keeping
