Damon made a sound of agreement. “She did say that whatever we found here would change everything. Her mother being alive sure does change things.”“But my mother wasn’t anyone important.” I frowned, “She didn’t have any renowned ability. I actually don’t think she had an ability at all. She also ne
CaiusI could say with a moderate level of confidence that my wife was certifiably insane.We stood in the middle of Sleepy Hollow Cemetery where Anastasia’s mother was buried. Anastasia strutted past the gates in that little black outfit she’d thrown on back in the manor, her hips swaying and comma
My lips began to lift, but I forced them back down.“Celine Dion. Really, Anastasia?”My menace of a wife turned, a brilliant smile sweeping across her face. It made her glow, that tanned skin of hers taking on a golden hue. For a moment, the words I’d been prepared to say lodged themselves in my th
I said none of that.It was becoming glaringly obvious that I enjoyed pissing my wife off.I smirked. “I never said that.”One minute I’d been gearing up to slam the shovel into the earth, and the next it was gone from my hands. I looked around, registering the smug little grin on Anastasia’s face.
AnastasiaI opened two more of the letters, my fingers fumbling as I quickly unfolded the envelope praying I didn’t tear it in the process.One letter had my mother’s handwriting, and was signed ‘The Dreamer’, while the other had Caius’s father’s handwriting, and was signed, ‘The Realist’.Caius sco
I slipped the box into my backpack and zipped it shut just as Knight’s voice came through.His words were choppy, as if we were on the receiving end of some bad cell service. It made no sense. Typically it didn’t matter how far one was from their pack, they could still access the mind-link. It was e
AnastasiaMy lungs heaved as we ran beside Caius, easily keeping pace with his massive wolf. Our muscles coiled as we sprang into action, kicking off the ground to dip around the thick base of a maple tree. The sky rumbled with thunder and flashed with hints of lightning. A gentle rain began to fall
My ability. That’s what he was talking about. I’d been so lost in panic that I nearly forgot about it.Time slowed to a halt, allowing me to put distance between myself and the other wolves. There was just one problem.I couldn’t unfreeze Caius.Whatever I had done back at the festival wasn’t workin
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
Anastasia“Fallon was unresponsive when she was first found. Doctors believe she went into shock from traveling as far and long as she had. Initially, she was severely dehydrated and malnourished. Our experts say her wolf did not have the necessary strength to come forward and provide her body with
We were an hour away from Vancouver General Hospital when we received a call that the Canadian government had picked Fallon up and now had her in holding. That was both a good and a bad thing.She was safe from the humans in the hospital, but whoever was taking these wolves were clearly in positions
AnastasiaWhen one-by-one the guy’s eyes glazed over I knew they were being mind-linked.For the second time I was kept out of the loop. Left stewing with questions, drowning in confusion, not trusted enough to know what was happening as it happened.“Maybe we should freeze time and pinch them all.”
The server paused as he realized I was right. Worry and even a glimmer of fear flickered within his eyes as he forced a smile. “A-Another, Luna?”I didn’t look at Caius as I said, “Yes, if you will.”Like most men, my husband wasn’t one for being ignored or disobeyed. Since I refused to look his way
