The Aurum Obscuro packhouse is vastly different to the one at Invictus. It’s a gorgeously cozy three-story lodge that was built near a stunning waterfall in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. It’s smaller than the packhouse at Invictus, which is surprising because for a long time, Aurum Obscuro had the largest pack in the whole United States with Invictus having the second largest. Invictus ended up beating their numbers when they started taking in some nagata residents which was around the same time I ended up moving here when I finally found my animai. As we step out of the packhouse hand in hand, I feel the instant chill in the air of the approaching winter, and I feel the excitement begin to bubble within me. I’ve always loved winter, but winter in Aurum Obscuro is truly magical. Waking up after the first snowfall to see the trees and mountains around the packhouse covered in a thick blanket of snow and the waterfall frozen in ice…it’s exactly how I used to picture Narnia

Patrol is going smoothly with everyone working the perimeter and doing their regular check-ins with nothing noteworthy, aside from a teenage couple caught making out, which I’m sure was more embarrassing for them than it was interesting for us. I’m carefully observing my surroundings while working on a few beats in my head to pass the time when I hear a panicked voice nearby. “Oh Goddess, Alpha and Luna are going to murder me. I’m so screwed,” I hear the familiar voice continue to mutter in a panic. I hear their panicked whispers just moving but staying in the same relative area for a few minutes before I decide to check it out because they’re driving me nuts at this point. I make my way through the brush and as I step out I can’t help but be surprised when I realise who pacing around in a frenzy. “Gwynne?” I call out. She stops pacing and turns to me, a mixture of alarm and relief on her face, “Beta Torie! Oh thank the Goddess it’s you!” “What are you doing this far away from t

I model in front of the mirror, loving how fantastic my body looks in this, especially my ass! She even did my smouldering makeup look I reserve for occasions like this. Does the woman know me, or does she know me? I’m caught up looking at myself from every angle when I hear a low whistle. I turn around to see Wyatt standing in the doorway. My mouth begins to salivate as I take in my sexy boyfriend as his eyes drink me in like a hot, vampire ready to drain me dry. His usual blonde, afro curls frame his strong, chiselled face, his lips are painted that perfect vampirish red I love so much with that hypnotic soot look to his eyes that makes his clear blue eyes gleam like ice. He’s gone for leather chap shorts that lace up the sides and lace over his bulge – a fact I plan to take advantage of later. He’s paired that with a unique, jacquard vest-corset with buckles and clips that are making me giddy with ideas as his firm pecs peak out through the corset. He’s wearing his signature mid-s

[This stories characters were introduced in A Queen Among Alphas (book 1) but the events of this story take place after A Queen Among Gods (book 6)]I stare at the snow-covered trees passing by as the car moves through the winding secluded roads of Oregon. As each turn brings us closer to our destination my stomach flips and my anxiety rises to another level. I find myself secretly hoping we’ll come across a snow bed blocking the road, or even a fallen tree; anything to delay our journey a little longer. I feel jolts of electricity shoot through my hands, slowly easing my frazzled nerves. I look down and see Jerome’s large hands clasping mine, then look over at him, his eyes trained on the road as he drives. “If you keep picking at your cuticles like that I fear you’re going to pick right down to the bone,” he lightly teases, but I can feel his concern through our bond. I glance down at my hands beneath his, noticing the red, irritated skin around my nails. How long had I been doin

“This is unacceptable,” Maggie says in frustration. “Gamma Evalyn has changed the Christmas menu three times now. How can I possibly plan, shop and cook a Christmas feast when the feast keeps changing?” “If you have an issue with Eva, then you should be addressing it with Eva,” Amelia responds, trying to keep her voice even. “I have tried! She insists there isn’t an issue. As Alpha I feel you should get her in line,” Maggie declares. I have to stifle a growl, though Odette is already up on her legs and baring her teeth. This woman has no right to make such demands of her Alpha! Who the hell does she think she is? Amelia is about to respond when two young men enter the kitchen from one of the back doors. “Alpha Amelia, we were just wondering if you could change our patrol schedule?” interrupts the first young man. “Yeah. We had planned dates with our animais this Friday night, so we were hoping we could switch patrol shifts with someone else,” adds the other eagerly. “Don’t just
