The underground bunker, hidden from satellites and maps alike. “This is it,” he said as he shut off the engine. “From here, we shift.” They moved with practiced ease. Thick winter coats were exchanged for lighter base layers better suited for shifting. Bags were re-packed, fastened tight so they could be carried by their wolves. Celeste stood at the edge of the vehicle, her breath visible in the icy air. The snow was coming down harder now, thick and fast, sticking to lashes and hair within seconds. The cold crept through her clothes, but the anticipation warmed her blood.

Now I was standing here miserable as ever, in tears. I shut my eyes, taking in a deep breath and letting the smell of fresh winter air relax me. At this point I could no longer tell if the wetness on my cheeks were from the snowflakes, my tears, or both. My body was starting to go numb from the cold but I didn't mind. "Eliza," I slowly blinked my eyes open when I heard the soft voice break the silence that was going throughout the cold and dark but peaceful night. "Are you trying to get pneumonia?" Dallas said in a joking manner but his voice sounding concerned. I didn't say a word as he walked over to me, took off his coat and placed it over my shoulders.

I never doubted for even a second that the two of them would always be there for me. Now as I stand on the same edge, just six months later, I am without them both. Wilder, because of a horrible twist of fate, was forever taken from me. Wyatt, though, he is gone from me and it's my own damn fault. Over the last two week, ever since Thanksgiving, it's been colder in my house than the December wind outside. I look down at the light dusting of snow, that is so rare in Alabama and I could almost believe it's a sign from Wilder. “You thinking about jumping?”

"Good evening, I'm Sarah Lee and I have some breaking news for our viewers. A new casino in Clyde, Marion, has been the target of gang violence. According to eyewitnesses, the bar was burnt down by members of a notorious gang in the city. The police are investigating the incident and are warning the public to stay away from the area." My hand froze mid-air, popcorn spilling out of my grasp and onto the floor. The reality of the situation hit me like a ton of bricks. I lived just a few blocks away from the casino and the thought of gang violence so close to home was frightening. I couldn't help but wonder if this was just the beginning of a new wave of gang activity in Clyde. As I sat on my c

All gathered on me, turning into a fire that burns me to weakness. If it weren't for Jaclyn Dills' sturdy arms tightly clasping my waist, I probably would have melted to the ground long ago. The early winter at Red Moon Pack is quite cold, especially now, just before the heating is turned on, during the period when the transition from autumn to winter leaves everything in a state of neither here nor there. Normally, when Perry is at home, the air conditioner would be on, providing warm air, but right now, it is indeed a bit chilly.

I jolted upright in my bed, drenched in sweat, the crystal burning hot in my hand. Outside, the moon hung low and red over the horizon—an omen I hadn’t seen since before the war. The void wasn’t gone. It had just been waiting. And now, it had found a way back.

The world outside was blanketed in a fresh layer of unblemished snow, burying the old blueprints of the territory under a clean, cold slate. Inside the room, the residual warmth of the hearth and the deep blankets kept the winter completely at bay. Elara woke slowly, the heavy, suffocating panic that usually accompanied her first conscious breaths entirely absent. For the first time in months, her heart wasn't racing with the frantic instinct to check her perimeter. She lay perfectly still, her back pressed against the broad, unyielding wall of Rowan’s chest. His massive frame was a solid anchor behind her, his breath a slow, rhythmic vibration that puffed warmly against the bare skin of her

I poured my coffee, Sat on the stool across from him. "Thank you," I said. "For the book." "It's a good one," he replied. "You said it cost something." "It does." He turned a page. "I read it after Claire died, couldn't finish it for months, kept putting it down. Finally got through it about six weeks ago." He paused. "Felt like it should go somewhere useful after that." "Six weeks ago," I said quietly.

It always seems so real and I am afraid that it is a sign, even though no one else does. After I am sure that Colin is asleep, I reach under the mattress and pull out the note that I still keep. I go over his words every night. He says when I am a Winter bride he will be back for me. My dreams are always my wedding day in winter, but my wedding will be in the summer. It's so confusing. I sigh and place the note back under the pillow. The words repeating over and over in my head as I drift off to sleep.

Chapter 101: Which Room? VOLUME 3: RANSOMING REDEMPTION Maggie Flynn smiled to herself as she watched the falling snow through the large bay window of the Red Lion Inn. "This is gonna be good," he'd said. While she waited at their table, Bobby had gone to check them in for their overnight stay.
