Ice crawled along the ground.The wolf licked it’s muzzle.I waited, ready to freeze time, as it geared up to lunge at me. The second its feet left the ground something slammed into it, knocking it into a tree that froze upon impact.Ghost’s wolf shimmered into existence, coaxing a sigh of relief fr
Anastasia“Did I mention how much I hate running?” I wasn’t going to mention to Caius that the only time I might enjoy running was if it ended with some intense hate sex. Now wasn’t really the best moment for that though, not when I was still reeling from finding out our parents seemed to closely k
I quickly opened it and inspected the clothes inside. They were old, but intact from sitting within a zipped suitcase for goddess knows how long. I grabbed a pair of sweatpants and a long-sleeved t-shirt and slipped both on. Next came a pair of socks which, thankfully, didn’t have any holes in them.
AnastasiaKnight’s head poked out from the bathroom, “You saw that? His ability is crazy volatile.” A smug grin tugged at his lips. “Told him I could give him some pointers since my shadows are so obedient, but he didn’t like that much. Singed my fucking eyebrow right off.” His head vanished back in
I ran my fingers over each one before pausing over a dusty wooden frame. Some of the grime smeared, revealing a few faces behind the dirty pane of glass.Something urged me to grab the picture. I turned the frame over and pried open the latch. Grabbing the image before it could flutter to the floor,
AnastasiaI pulled on what I remembered from Vladimir’s side of the family. He came from excessive wealth, obviously, considering his family had been running the pack for three generations. His great-grandfather had challenged the previous Alpha and won.I stepped closer to the fire as a chill swept
It’s oddly attractive. Even if he was a grumbling caveman.I pulled the letters out and each of us grabbed a pile. We worked in silence, removing them from their envelopes and setting them in chronological order.Holding the first one in my hands, I managed to put on a small smile. “Even if this doe
AnastasiaThe next piece of paper wasn’t a letter, but an old newspaper clipping.Pack Mourns the Death of Alpha Vladimir Lasko’s Beloved Sister.December 20th, 1995Ms. Eliza Lasko, 24, is one of the victims in yesterday’s rogue attack. It is believed that the small clusters of uprisings in the pac
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
This was all likely just my daddy issues rearing their ugly heads.“I mean he did buy us stuff, protect us from bad guys, take us on dates, and gave us lots of orgasms. Plus he rubs our feet and checks out our ass when he thinks we’re not looking.” Ziva said. If she had fingers I knew she’d be ticki
Anastasia“She’s been found North of Vancouver by two hunters who veered off path. Unable to tell her condition. It’s been difficult getting in contact with Canadian authorities. They’re taking her into custody.”What they didn’t say was if it were Fallon or Fallon’s corpse.Within an hour we were s
Ditzy? I was not ditzy.Kicking back against his tree-trunk legs I leaned forwards and shot back with all of the momentum I had. I braced for pain and …“R’AAAGH!” Caius’s roar shook the halls.Stars danced behind my eyes, laughing at my agony. It spread across my skull as it smashed into Caius’s no
AnastasiaI could taste my husbands anger in the air as I ran from him.The dark laughter of his family faded into a silence that had me holding my breath. Caius wasn’t running after me the way I thought he would. He must’ve been keeping it together well enough. That was unfortunate.I wanted him br
On Sunday I came down to breakfast wearing a silk pajama set. It was a deep red, like the color of spilled wine, and matched my freshly painted toes. I yawned and waved at everyone as I headed over to the breakfast table.There was a platter of various omelets surrounded by smaller plates full of fr
AnastasiaI crawled back into bed feeling both disturbed and oddly satisfied. Obviously watching Knight violate my husband’s pillow was not the satisfying part, but I could handle it because it meant I got my revenge for the hair dye fiasco.At least he waited until after the wedding…Curling up ben
Knight grumbled something under his breath and clung to the pillow a bit tighter. I turned away with a laugh. Evangline really would send Peter here if I didn’t say something. It was tempting, though. Caius would be pissed if he woke up on some deserted island.“Very badass, but I have to decline. I
Evangeline liked to claim she was only attracted to women, but that was a lie. She was just incredibly picky when it came to men. It was on her eighteenth birthday that she told me she’d never even dated one before. Wasn’t surprising though given her mother.Point was, she could deny it all she want
