AnastasiaRealization hits me like a freight train, and it takes everything in me not to look up at Caius—to show him my panic as it plays across my face like a fucking billboard.Hate sweeps into my heart like a poison, rotting me from the inside out.He planned this. That vile, monster of a man pl
I wasn’t sure how long I’d been gone, but when I finally returned to the party I couldn’t find Caius anywhere.I’d been moments away from calling for him through the mind-link when finally I found him.I had thought this day couldn’t get any worse, but clearly I’d been wrong.He stood in the shadows
AnastasiaThe rest of the wedding breezed by, especially once Marjorie and her date were discreetly escorted from the premises.Dinner was long, full of speeches that would’ve brought a tear to my eye had my entire marriage to Caius not been based on a lie. I could hardly focus on keeping up the act
Caius cleared his throat, his brows furrowing. “It wasn’t consensual. Her date’s ability allowed him to enhance other abilities. She was able to stun me with her pheromones. I fought it off, but not quickly enough.” Genuine frustration took hold of him, seeping its way into his voice. “After the Gal
“I’d suggest holding back making any more sounds.” He said over the mind-link. As if to emphasize his point his cock throbbed beneath my feet. “The only male who gets to hear your pleasure is me.”Fucking hell. I could handle grumpy Caius, and even asshole Caius, but seductive, flirty Caius was too
AnastasiaTo absolutely nobody’s surprise the flight was long, and arduous, and downright miserable with Evangline and Knight at each other’s throats the entire time.And to think at one point I thought Caius and I were bad. Hah! We had nothing on Knight and Evangeline. Compared to them we truly wer
Standing on a thick area rug whose pattern of intersecting lines had a very subtle vintage feel, was a man and a woman.The man had dark skin that seemed to glow from within, his hair cropped close to his head. He had an arm around the waist of a curvaceous woman, whose flowing auburn hair I was imm
AnastasiaNatasha smiled at the two of them—a secret smile that had me wondering what the hell she might’ve seen in those visions of hers—and nudged Evangeline forward.“After a stressful, high-profile wedding, and being cooped up on a jet for twelve hours you all deserve a night out. Perhaps it’ll
She laughed at my flustered expression. "Come on, you can tell me. I promise I won't repeat anything."I took a deep breath, trying to figure out how to navigate this minefield without revealing too much. "Like you said, Caius is difficult. He can be the biggest jerk you’ve ever met, but he's also i
AnastasiaA spark of delight lit up her face. She sat up straighter and wiped her eyes. "Really? You'd do that with me?"I nodded enthusiastically. "Of course! My mom taught me to cook too. What's your specialty?"A ghost of a smile played on her lips. "Pumpkin pie. Mom always said mine was the best
The bathroom door swung open, cutting off my reply. My heartbeat accompanied the heavy thud of Ghost’s combat boots as he stomped his way inside. His expression was one of cold murder, but that didn’t stop my eyes from dropping down to his chest.Why wasn’t he wearing a shirt? And was that blood?A
AnastasiaAfter getting black out drunk with Knight and waking up on the floor of my closet cuddling an empty bottle of tequila I decided that my days of heinous partying, reckless drinking, and overall bad decision making had come to an end.“ANASTASIA! KNIGHT! I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!”Just kidding.
Fallon’s nose wrinkled in disgust. “Doesn’t it? Wolves have more dignity than humans. We would never harm our own kind. They’re more animals than we are.”My eyes widened. What did she just say?Ziva’s voice flooded my mind. “Has she forgotten that your kind are half human? Wolves have more dignity
AnastasiaHeadache or not as soon as we landed Caius and the others had no choice but to question Fallon.Instead of taking her to one of the cold interrogation rooms I had been thrown into, they led her into the estates lounge.Large leather armchairs and a single sofa were strategically placed aro
Fallon’s face went from red, to normal, to pale all within the span of a few seconds. Her breathing came heavy and all at once the guys started acting like what Ziva described as geriatric mother-hen’s.Knight raced into the bedroom suite to grab blankets and fuzzy socks, his shadows dripping behind
Anastasia“They’ll do what’s best for her.” Ziva’s reassurance filled me with a nice hit of calm. “They may be sexy, fumbling cavemen, but they’ve got good hearts. Even Ghost’s mean ass clearly cares about her.”Fallon shuffled out wearing the grey sweatshirt and pants the medical center had given h
I looked at the others. “South? So that’s the direction she was traveling.”“Yes, it looks like it.” Minister Tremblay replied. “The unit we sent out came back a few days ago. They tracked her for a little over two miles before the trail went cold.”“And how far of a net did they cast at the dead zo
