Despite his intimidating build, he radiated friendliness. “Aria Silvermoon, I presume?” He extended his hand. “I’m Ryker Stone, Beta of Blackthorn Pack. Welcome.” I shook his hand, surprised by the genuine warmth. “Thank you. Though I’m not sure ‘welcome’ is the right word when your warriors detained me at the border.” Ryker laughed. “Fair point. They were just following protocol. Unknown wolf entering our territory, they had to bring you in. But you’re not in trouble.” He gestured for me to sit. “Actually, you’re probably the most anticipated guest we’ve ever had.”

“Vivian, you're mistaken. She blinked. “What do you mean? He looked her in the eyes. “I love Riley. The silence was like thunder. Vivian stormed out in rage.

The predators closed in, their grins widening, hungry and merciless. Ari’s hands trembled, fists curling and unclenching as his mind raced. Where was Thorne? Where was the shadow that had been his shield—the warmth that had been his sanctuary? The halls were empty. No sign of protection, no sign of rescue. Just these cruel eyes gleaming in the flickering light. His mind flashed back to the glove under his pillow—the faint citrus scent that had become a lifeline.

My fingers tightened on the edge of the desk. It was fifteen years ago. Fifteen years ago my little sister Wynn had sat by the fence in our garden and said those words and turned my life into a nightmare. Was Jilin trying to tell me that these beasts killed my parents?

the nurse left the room while Ramsey drank milk from my breast. "Is it wrong to be jealous of my son sucking on my girl's tit?" Liam announces as the boys snicker and the girls roll their eyes. I only giggle I looked around and noticed a couple of us were missing. "Where is Rex? And I don't see Athena anywhere." "Thea gave birth to baby Jacob two days ago." Ares replies. "So, Rex is with her." "Oh," I lean forward in excitement and look at him and Effie. "Congrats, you two. Your first nephew."

He knew he didn't have to win on facts; he just had to win on character. "Ms. Riley," Thorne began, strolling toward me like a predator circling a wounded animal.

His name is nothing but poison in my veins. I stand up from the bed reaching for my shirt, my mind shifting into command before my heart can even process what’s happening. “How many of his men?” I ask Thorne, his breathing is uneven. “At least two dozen on the ridge. Maybe more. They’re spreading fast and marking the trees with his symbol as a message that he’s coming.”

I toyed with my little gun; of course I needed a weapon for some extra layer of protection. I had been on the couch when the door to my apartment was slammed open; the lock broke free.
