I let my magic seep out of me and time slid to a halt.Scattered around the room were she wolves of all ages, each of us wealthy and possessing power in some way. There were Luna’s and Beta’s wives. She-wolves who ran their own companies or were mated to wolves who owned their own companies. Politic
“Oh, I’ve given it plenty of time. I’m not saying the Eye is innocent. Goddess only knows how many other members we still have to comb through. What I am saying is that these people, as prejudiced as they are, aren’t systematically kidnapping powerful wolves and making them poof—” I flicked my finge
AnastasiaAs my lips parted he claimed them, slipping his tongue past in hungry strokes. I remembered fisting my hands in his hair, drawing him in whilst bringing him just enough pain to keep him furious. I melted into him and his hand slipped from my throat to cradle my face. We were drinking each
I think I found my latest hobby fixation.“That? Oh, you were good. Better than the other idiots there, I’m sure.”I could no longer see his face, but a chill passed through me as he cocked his head. We both knew I was lying through my teeth, but that was the fun of it. He was such a fucking hothead
Sweeping my legs out from under me, Caius scooped me into his arms and turned in the direction of his bedroom.Stuffing his fists into his pockets, Ghost shrugged, “He’s not wrong.”Several hours later I awoke in naked, lying starfish in Caius’s bed. The ache between my legs, evident from the little
AnastasiaCurled up on the couch with my laptop perched on the table, I watched as the screen flickered to life. Evangeline’s face appeared, her platinum blonde hair swept into a neat updo that highlighted her delicate features and hazel eyes.“You’re sure about this?”I glanced over at what was lef
Caius stilled for just a second, his mug raised halfway to his lips. A flicker of something crossed his face—something guarded, almost unsure. Then, as if making a decision, he let out a slow breath and leaned against the counter.“I reacted, because I know someone who can do what he claimed you cou
AnastasiaBy the time the movie ended, my frustration had dulled to a simmer. The rom com had done its job, distracting me from my own life long enough to keep me from spiraling. Fallon stretched her legs out and released a yawn before turning to me with a smirk.“So, care to talk about your problem
“Ah, we will in a minute,” Ghost replied, a smile teasing at the edges of his voice.My hand tightened around the envelope, my heart thudding in my chest. Caius stood to his full height and tipped his head to the side. I marveled at the shades of gold woven within his hair and eyes, reflected upon t
The pistachio muffin in my stomach turned to stone.I didn’t even have time to process it before a familiar, hushed voice slipped straight into my skull.“Someone has a secret. What would your husband think?”I jumped and growled under my breath. “Show yourself you shadow-dwelling freak.”Ghost popp
AnastasiaThe scent of caramel and whiskey grew, melting into a mouthwatering concoction that made my pussy ache. I forced my eyes open and frowned. “This isn’t my room.”“No,” He kicked the door shut. “It’s mine.”I made a sound of confusion, which he dutifully ignored, and instead placed me in his
Damon’s voice dropped low. “Makes sense. Anastasia’s mother raises her to conceal her ability at all costs and trains her to lie like an expert. Years later, she fakes her own death. We assumed these were for protection from Vladimir, but that’s quite a lot of hoops to jump through for one man. She
I didn’t say anything to the guys, though. There was no sense in spoiling Fallon’s fun.Ghost spoke around a mouthful of ramen. “My spies in Vladimir’s pack are reporting small uprisings among some of the townspeople. Apparently, they’ve been moved by all that you’ve done for them. Pretty unhappy Vl
AnastasiaI padded into the kitchen, my socks sliding along the floor. The scent of sesame oil and soy sauce clung to the air, a welcome distraction from the thoughts gnawing at the edges of my mind. The takeout bags sat on the counter, still warm, and I already knew which one was mine. He’d gotten
“You were made to be mine.” I tore the robe from her body and relished the sound of fabric splitting. Grabbing her wrists, I pinned them behind her back and flipped her around so that her back was flush against my chest. Sweeping an arm out, I cleared my desk of everything, earning a gasp from Anast
I kept moving, my senses stretched as far as they could go. A soft shuffle, nearly undetectable, had me turning left. I continued to follow the hall, turned again, then stopped when I saw her.At the very end of the hallway, bathed in shadows and pale slants of moonlight, was my wife. She was hardly
CaiusUpon returning home, I had one of the few remaining staff draw Anastasia a bath. The woman spent most of her time in there. Not that I paid much attention.Only I did.I told myself it didn’t matter. That I wasn’t counting the minutes she spent in there, listening for the hum of that fucking t
