"We may not have talked before, but he told me plenty about you. He wouldn't trust you with killing me if he was going to kick you out. Are you really that afraid of spiders?" "Just thinking about them makes me jumpy," the bigger woman said. "If he hadn't surprised me, I probably just would've screamed like a little girl. But noooooooooo, I have to knock out the new enforcer in front of the boss." Shamira stomped her foot. "He got a nose bleed . . . bled on my skirt and everything. Ugh!" Tabitha hugged the woman. "Listen, I've known Shane a long time. Yeah, he can be a taskmaster," she said with a knowing grin, "but he's surrounded himself with people that he trusts.

“There’s one right here in Aldervolf!” “What? You?” “No, silly.” Shania took her phone and showed us a picture of an old bookshop. It looked familiar. “Here. Her name’s Vevila Callaghan and I’m telling you, she’s legit.” “How do you know?” a guy beside Shania asked. “Have you done this before?” “Princess Selina, a moment?” Patrick said, tapping my knee to get my attention. I didn’t get to hear Shania’s answer, but thinking about the idea that a pretty girl like her would d*rug some poor guy for his affection...

"Dear Auntie Laura, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you because I am worried about something that happened today. Madam Sharon had a meeting with us, and she said that we're not allowed to come near sir Henry. She said she doesn't want any interaction between us and him, and we should stay away from him. She gave us our monthly groceries and promised to be generous with us, but she was very insistent on this point. I don't understand why she would say that. Sir Henry seems like a very nice man, and we hardly ever see him around the house. Do you know anything we can do on this? Is there anything we should be careful about?“ Sasha asked, I hope to hear from you soon. Yours,

Shenka entered my peripheral vision, smiling and taking my arm in a very firm grip. "Mrs. O'Dane." Shenka backed me away a subtle step even as she took my place. "How lovely to see you." I knew Shenka despised the woman as much as I did. Okay, maybe not as much. She was at least able to pretend to be kind where I was way past any sophistry. "Sashenka." Sonja backed up herself, arm hooking through Liam's. Possessively. Like she owned him. Grrrr.

Third Person's POV Shane asked Anita to prepare for the visit of the Lakeshore pack's Alpha Liam with his Luna Cristina and Gamma Yael. Shane with her alpha Jacob to do the preparation thinking she would be able to ask Anita about it and she was correct. Anita agreed to it easily. "Are you that excited?" Shane asked her. "Yes of course, you know I like preparations." Anita replied happily. "It was only three people, how can you be excited about that?"

I ran a hand down my face and muttered, “I’ll handle it.” “Make sure you do,” he said, tone dropping. “Because she may not say it, but she’s watching. Natalia is watching everything you do. And she doesn’t forget. She is quiet and she is smart. She knows how to be a Luna and she also knows how to be an alpha. But she doesn't know how to handle betrayal.” “You speak as if you've known her your whole life.”

151 The late afternoon sun poured into the study, casting golden streaks across the sleek mahogany desk where Shania sat, tapping her pen against a notepad. Her handwriting was scattered, more of a chaotic brainstorm than organized notes, but the passion behind the words was undeniable. Her foundation—a safe haven for women recovering from abuse—was no longer a vague idea but a tangible mission. She had spent days outlining programs, partnerships, and facilities, fueled by her own journey of pain and triumph. This wasn’t just about giving back; it was about reclaiming the power she’d once felt Adrian had stolen from her.

Unfortunately Raiah ruined that for us. After getting dressed, and making sure Jennie ate, I asked if she wanted to stay in the hut. “No, I would like to be there. I know what Raiah was sent here for, but after spending time with her, I think I quite like her, and I would like to be there for her.” I nodded and held my arm out for Jennie before stepping outside. The village quiet still from last nights ceremony. We walked to Ahanu’s hut, I took a deep breath before opening the flap to the entrance. Ahanu was knelt before Raiah, trying to comfort her, while she sat on the bed crying. Dakota and I decided that we would not go easy on Raiah. We needed answers and if she was truthful then we wil

"Tell me the truth, Spike. Are you using me for your own gain?" Spike hesitated, his gaze flickering away from mine for a moment before returning. This time, I could see that he was hiding something. "yes, in a way, I am using you, but not to hurt you. I care about you, Luna" his voice broke as he spoke. "I've wanted to tell you for a few days now, but I just haven't worked out how" his eyes fell to the ground. I could see and feel that whatever he was about to tell me hurt him. Taking a deep breath, he went on. "I'm cursed; I was cursed over 500 years ago by a witch named Sylva. She was one of your ancestors. After she cursed me, she told me that one day, I would meet a girl with hair as da

“You’re really annoying! You can go somewhere else if you’re looking to beg from door to door. Do you think I’ll give money just because you’re blind?” Shaun could not help smiling apologetically. “Ms. Ward, we’re not here to beg for money. I’m the manager of a recruitment agency, Shauna Reed, and this is the piano teacher hired by Prof. Ward.”
