Derik moved in front of me, kissing me, teasing me, building me up again as Kai kept his leverage grip on my hips and kept the pace fast.I rode him just as hard, bounding on him as I gasped, trying to tame the heat in my body, but it was a wildfire. Untamable.It brushed every nerve, every muscle, every bone, leaving them shaking and disoriented with the overwhelming pleasure that he pulsed into me.I moaned against Derik’s mouth, wrapping my arms around him as Kai reached in front of me, playing with my clit.I sucked in a breath, a moan escaping, and then he was sending me off the edge into a battlefield of insane, desperate need.I ground down on him fast and hard, riding out my orgasm on him before he was slapping my ass hard and stilling his last couple of thrusts inside me, releasing himself with a guttural sigh.Kai sat up and wrapped his arms around me, kissing my shoulder before pushing me off his dick and toward Derik.I took deep breaths, my eyes hooded as my body tried to

29. The NeedI went to them.I climbed the stairs two at a time. Kai followed, saying nothing, as I pushed my shadows out of me, finding where Derik and Brax were, smiling when I recognized the room as my own. I wasn’t even sure if they had their own rooms anymore.I burst in and had barely taken a breath when Brax was on me. His mouth covered mine, and I melted into the kiss, sliding my tongue along his, holding his body against me.“How did it go? With the wolves?” I asked, but he shook his head.“Not tonight, Spitfire. Just let me have you,” he breathed, and I nodded, kissing him again.He edged me toward the bed, laying me down on the mattress. He kissed me feverishly, like he couldn’t get enough, like the simple connection of his mouth with mine wasn’t nearly enough, and it wasn’t.He undid the fabric corset front of my villager dress and slipped my shoulders out, his mouth never leaving mine.Derik and Kai stood on either side of the bed, watching, waiting for their turn.Brax k

“I… Well, I don’t know what you mean. I have been commanding the humans’army,” he said, trying to recover, but Kai growled, and even my skin bristled at the lie.I wasn’t sure what Kai had picked up on, but my father was hiding something.“I mean the amount of heartbeats I hear in this village is significantly larger than the numbers I was given in your report. Are you telling little white lies about how large your army is, General?” he threatened, getting closer to my father, edging him back against the wooden table.My father stumbled against it, then moved out of the way, brushing his hair back and composing his fear.“I wonder what you plan to do with an army so large, hmm?” Kai continued.“Maybe I should visit more often, keep an eye on numbers myself. Maybe even do a bit of a culling? Correct those numbers of yours, hmm?” he threatened again in that dark, menacing way that sounded sexy when he was playing but terrifying when he wasn’t.And my father looked terrified.He turned

28. The GeneralI didn’t want to die. I wanted more time with my alphas, and I wanted to protect my mom from whatever shitstorm Lucas was bringing on his hunt for revenge.I had no choice. I had to survive.Lucas spun away, disappearing into shadow as I fell. It was the last I saw of him, but I wasn’t going to let it be the last time he saw me.I closed my eyes, the idea terrifying since my stomach had dropped the second I had fallen off the cliff, but I forced myself to focus, using my memories to help coerce my shadows to help me.I remembered Derik’s smile when we were alone, just the two of us, the connection in Brax’s eyes when our shadows played, the devotion in Kai’s every action toward me.It was everything I had ever craved, and I had it. I didn’t want to lose it. I didn’t want to say yes, no matter the future I missed out on because of it.I don’t know what part of my thoughts convinced my shadows to trust me again, but it worked, and then I wasn’t falling anymore.They burs

“I think I can use my shadows from here,” I said, ready to try.He nodded.“If he was here then they’ll be able to connect to him easier. You tell me where and I’ll send the wolves in that direction,” Brax said, and I nodded as Cain stepped forward.“You need to go too. I’ll communicate,” he offered, but Brax growled.“Fuck off,” he bit, and Cain sighed.“Brax,” Derik warned, and Brax pursed his lips, backing away from me.“Remember the game, Spitfire,” he said, then turned into his wolf.Derik eyed me and I nodded. The others waited, changing into their wolves, ready to run.I took a deep breath and reached inside me for my shadows. It was easy; they were ready, and I knew what I had to do.I pushed them from me, sending them to hunt down my brother. The shadows knew what I wanted and did as I asked, going down the path, through the trees, latching on to a scent that was barely my brother anymore.I gulped and pointed down the path. “That way. Start that way,” I murmured, and the wol

27. The Brother“What do you mean, ‘missing’?” I demanded.“He was doing a border check around the Forest village and the wolves lost him.His scent and everything vanished.”“The vampires?” I panicked, but Derik shook his head.“No, Lorelai. There was no vamp scent. He attacked them with shadows before vanishing into thin air,” he said somberly, and just like that, I knew my brother had no chance left.I couldn’t save him. Link or no link, he had fucked everything up.“He’s the one taking the villagers, isn’t he?” I swallowed, my voice quiet, my eyes filling with tears as I came to the only conclusion that was left.They were going to kill him.“We have to go out there,” Kai growled, his claws and fangs growing as I wiped my tears away, pulling on a cloak.“I’m coming.”“No!” Derik yelled, but I refused to shrink back despite the terror that filled me at his outburst.He took a calming breath before speaking again.“Stay here. The wolves are not going to take kindly to another winter
