Present Day

... "Take care," Colin said as he hung up. He leaned back in his leather chair as Aria walked into his office. The smile that had been absent returned to his face. "Aria my love, care for a ride?" He grinned. It was time for her to know the truth...

Aria could tell by Colin's face whatever he needed to tell her was important. She had only heard part of the conversation. Aria rarely eavesdropped, Colin was an open book to her questions. "I would love to."

Less than ten minutes later they were in his Jeep and heading towards Albany from his Worth County home. "I need to have a serious conversation that will affect our future together, my love." They had been together for nearly five months, and he had kept his true nature hidden. He wanted to tell her the truth but knew there was a chance he would lose her.

Aria tensed. Fear and apprehension mixed with excitement and curiosity as she wondered about his meaning of 'our future toge

    September 2009"Who are you kidding? She will never come. I read her file," Timothy said, looking over the desk.Salem leaned forward before standing at his full height of 6’ 3" inches. His hand moved along the collar until a finger caught in his blue tie, pulling it away from his throat. He wasn't used to wearing suits and it showed. "I just want a chance at her. I think she would be an asset to the team.""There is no doubt she would. Hell, I think we should have approached her while she was in recovery, but that was an error on Blake's behalf. He didn't see the potential in her. But someone who makes more money than you or I does. And she already has medical training, and it won't hurt. I will tell you what, you get her to come to an interview and I'll owe you one."Owe you one...The silent thought danced across Salem's features as he settled in the booth of a local Waffle House.

    ~~~Present-dayIvory stretched her arms over her head as her eyes fought against the encroaching light from a break in the curtains. There was a moment of confusion as her pre-awakening brain tried to justify the placement of the window. She ended up rolling on her side and that is when her brain became fully functional. It registered a hard but warm body in bed with her. Fear pumped through her veins as she skittered back and nearly tumbled off the bed. If Cullen hadn't reached out at the last second she would now be looking up at him from the hardwood floor.“Are you okay, my love?” Cullen asked, bringing her to his chest and giving her a good looking over. He had been asleep when her frantic movement woke him. He saw her spilling over the edge of the bed and his wolf pushed forward. Now with her in his arms, he began to breathe and loosen his tight grip, much to his wolf’s protest.Ivory was a bright red color from her embarrassment. Her palm moved over her face and trie

    ~~~ “Aaron,” Cullen said as his beta walked into his office. “I heard from Alpha Brody James of the Crescent Moon Pack that Alpha Jerry Richards from the Davis Pack has been arrested. He will arrive here later this afternoon. I need you to get with Kyle and Charles to have the holding cell ready for him and make sure that Marcus’ men are ready. I want the trial to begin at 8 AM tomorrow.” He set a file on the corner of his desk. “Carla and Ivory will be helping with the visiting Lunas and getting our guests settled in the pack house,” Cullen added. “And let me know when Hope Howard arrives. I would like to speak to her in private.” Aaron nodded his understanding as he took a seat and grabbed the file. After withdrawing a small notebook and pen from his pocket he made several notes. His eyes lifted at the mention of Ivory. “How is Luna Ivory this morning?” His question held true concern. “She is faring better than I could hope for. While she is young, she has a great un

    ~~~ “Alpha Cullen,” Valic said as he walked into the office. When the alpha nodded to a chair at the front of the thick desk he had a seat and waited until Cullen looked up from the computer screen. “I trust our friends are comfortable,” Cullen asked as he held a pen in his hand and thumped it on the desktop. It was clear the Alpha had something weighing on his mind. “Quite,” Val said with a nod. “He spoke to both lawyers and is now settled in his cell. I informed the other council enforcers no one is to approach him without my permission. And no one will get that permission unless Marcus, Anthony, and you all order me. I have a gut feeling that Alpha Jerry wasn't working alone and since I don't have the higher pay grade I'm staying away.” “He wasn't working alone,” Cullen said, dropping the pen on the desktop. “I heard from Fixer Anderson that there will be a surprise witness arriving in the morning.” He blew out a chest full breath. “This is turning into a headache.” “

    ~~~ Valic had stepped outside to take a call from the Council. It seemed that Jerry’s pack had petitioned the council to postpone the trial a day so new witnesses could be flown in. Alpha Marcus Ryle had looked over the new evidence the witness was claiming and ruled it out. The dates were two weeks after the attack on Paradise Falls Pack and Beta David and Alpha John’s death. He was about to return to the pack house and hunt down his mate when his cock and nose twitched at the scent in the air. His wolf pushed forward. Mark mate. Now. He growled trying to break free of Valic’s hold. “Soon my friend,” he grinned as he walked into the pub. It didn't take him long before his eyes landed on his prize. Hope was leaning over the pool table, lining up a shot. Her well-defined heart-shaped ass was in the air. He could see several other men and one woman checking out her long legs. A growl suddenly erupted from his chest, silencing the pub. Hope didn't have to look to know that

    It was just after six in the morning when Ivory rolled over and her hand landed on an empty place. The sheet was still warm and Ivory realized Cullen had just vacated the bed. She woke up when he joined her an hour before having been up most of the night with pack business, and in two hours he would be overseeing the trial. She lifted her head from the black silk pillow and looked across the room at him. “Do you have time to shower with me?” Her voice was soft. She could see the stress etching his eyes.Cullen was looking in the closet, trying to decide which shirt to wear. Did he wear the white button-down or the blue one? He was the hosting Alpha. Normally he would be the chairman, but since part of his pack were witnesses he stepped down and allowed the other Alpha Council members to take charge. His duty was to provide protection and support. The stern look that had been clinging to his features shifted when he heard her tender voice. “There is nothing I want more tha

His nose was buried in her neck, and he was breathing deep of her scent to calm his wolf. Ever since Fern had been kidnapped, and he discovered the rogues who had taken Ivory were behind the kidnapping, Cullen had felt as though he failed as a leader. If he had taken a more aggressive action back then, Fern and the other she-wolves would have never been abused by Arthur.“It’s okay,” Ivory whispered, tightening her arms around him. “They are safe. Carla and Damian are taking care of them. What you managed to do is great.” Ivory kissed his cheek.Cullen sighed heavily. “If you are trying to make me feel better, it's working.” Gently, Cullen pressed his lips to the soft skin under her ear.“You should feel better, you brought our girl home.” Ivory was referring to Fern. Fern and Cedar were the first two women to fully welcome her into the pack. “And from what I und

He knew it was dangerous to distract his Alpha during a recovery mission.Alpha Cullen Steiner had just exited the truck when he heard his beta’s report. While he was glad the home was contained, he still had yet to find Fern. The she-wolf was his priority. “Marco, you and Daksh head around the backside and enter from there. The rest of you fan out and cover the sides.” Though it was a barn, Cullen was at a disadvantage. He knew that most farmers in SouthWest Georgia had storm shelters in their barns. This area had suffered a few too many deadly storms recently.Since Marco and Daksh were not part of his pack, Cullen had waited two minutes and then breached the barn. Removing his shirt, boots, and pants, Cullen readied to shift if needed. He had had many battles over the years and didn't know what he could expect

    Dasher, GeorgiaCullen stood beside the white Ford pickup truck. He was waiting for Micah to join them. Micah had scented Fern near Johnson Road and again near Glen Road. Looking at a map, he noticed that Laurel Grove Road joined the two previous roads. He had instructed Marco and Micah to do a quick survey of the side roads and farms between the two locations they scented her.“Don’t worry, Alpha, we will find her,” Aaron said. “If she is collared in silver, she won’t be able to respond to us.” Aaron had been Cullen’s best friend and beta for years. He seemed to have read the concern in Cullen’s eyes.“I know we will. I just hope we find her in time.” Cullen knew better than many that the men who took Fern were capable of just about any torment. They had taken Ivory months before and barely saved her life.Daksh joined the pair. His tiger had been restless for the last hour. No matter how he tried to calm him, his beast demanded control. “If anything has happened to Fer

    Good Ole Boys PackLeesburg, Georgia“Ivory, my luv,” Cullen approached his mate from behind and kissed the tender flesh below her ear. His large hand held her hip as his lips planted soft kisses. “The twins are here, and they brought a buddy.” Cullen realized Ivory had never met a Were-Tiger before, and he wanted to assure her that Daksh was trustworthy.“A friend?” Ivory murmured, tilting her chin so Cullen could do as he wished. Ivory would never deny Cullen anything. While she knew their mating was still in the early stages, she doubted she would ever grow old of his caresses.“His name is Daksh,” Cullen’s deep voice paused when he felt Ivory pull away.Ivory twisted her body and looked him in the eyes. “The tiger?” Ivory sounded chipper. “Fern told me about him.” When Fern and Cedar returned from the rescue mission, Ivory noticed how solemnly Fern had come. As her friend, Ivory made her a cup of coffee and Fern told her that Daksh, and she, had become close.A shocked look greete

Her wrists were chained above her head, and an eighteen-inch spreader bar separated her ankles. The silver collar around her neck ensured her wolf would remain weak.Fern continued to glare at Ray as he began to admire her body. Normally being nude around males did not concern her, but this lecherous man gave her the chills. Fern could feel her skin crawling as Ray stepped closer. From behind the ball gag, Fern muttered several warnings.“Don’t worry, my sweet, sweet pet. You will find it can be pleasant here if you allow it.” Ray placed his hand on her cheek and slowly moved his thumb over her lower lip. “You just need a reminder of where your place is.”Fern jerked her face as far from his touch as possible.

Arthur first came across Danielle Nivens at a local coffee shop. The she-wolf had been too busy on her cell phone to notice Arthur. She made it too easy for him to stalk her through the parking lot and capture her the moment she unlocked her door. Luckily, there were no outside CCTV surveillance cameras. Arthur found that Danielle was a come slut who didn't even care that she was bound and gagged her. In fact, the woman enjoyed the game Arthur offered. And when he shared Danielle with his pack, she was more than compliant. Marge Campbell was his second conquest. Arthur stumbled upon the rogue she-wolf in Jasper, Florida when he was there buying supplies. Arthur was smart and decided to purchase the supplies needed at numerous locations, so he wouldn’t alert any local Weres. Florida was known for its

Since joining the lack, she had been going on morning runs. At first, it was a way to get to meet the lack. Now it was to let the pack get to know her as their Luna.An evil look danced over Cullen’s face. He climbed slowly on the bed, lifting the sheet. “Five minutes, huh?” Cullen said softly as he spread his mate's thighs.“Yes,” Ivory sighed in her sleepy state.Cullen eased his body between her thighs and without hesitation buried his face between her folds.

Without looking, Jade reached for a cup of coffee that Denny had placed on the desk an hour ago. As Luffy sipped, an expression of disdain spread across her face. “Yuck,” she quickly spat the offending drink back into the mug. “What the heck!”“Denny, my love, did you change my coffee?” Luffy asked through the mind link.Denny Fredrick, her fated mate, was in the kitchen with Chef. Leo ‘Chef’ Robin was the pack Beta in charge of supplies. He recently ordered a new coffee bean and was currently grinding enough beans for a fresh pot of coffee. Denny’s eyes glazed over, and a smile crawled over his face. It had been over an hour since he dropped off the coffee.“It took you long enough, baby. But yes, Chef has a new blend and I have to say it is good when it's hot.” Denny walked to the pantry, pulling out a new package of Oreo cookies. Jade loved dipping
