Alpha Enzo 084 | PEOPLE DON'T JUST VANISH
Enzo’s POVDawn came, and there was still no trace of Scarlett.The search parties came and went with the same updates: areas of the forest had been disturbed, but the same evidence could mean that a deer or bear or even a real wolf had run through the undergrowth, trampling it and leaving behind strands of fur. I paced anxiously at the front of the pack house, waiting for Bennett to tell me something of use.I’d considered beating him up a fair few times to get the answers I needed, but Davin had reminded me that he could yet be useful. “He’ll be more inclined to help if his face is intact,” he’d said. I’d just pulled a face in return.I was pretty sure Bennett already could be helpful, but he was withholding information on purpose. Grinding my teeth, I chose to ignore him for what felt like the thousandth time that night.“There is something,” he muttered, his brow creasing. “Something… dark.”Okay – I couldn’t ignore him entirely. I huffed and shifted around so that my back was fa

Scarlett’s POV“Ryker,” I breathed, frozen to the spot. My wound throbbed. I felt each lance of it in that moment. “You aren’t safe here,” he whispered, glancing behind me. “I have somewhere safe I can take you.”I nodded. Ice splintered down my spine. Something told me not to trust him, but of course I had to. Who knew who else was lurking in these woods? “Okay,” I whispered back. “Then can you explain?”“Explain what?” He took my hand and started to lead me in a zig-zag pattern through the trees. “Everything.”* * *Ryker was silent as we wove through the woods. All I could hear was my heartbeat thundering through my body, ricocheting off my bones. I held back shudder after shudder, torn between wanting to rip my hand away and knowing my death or capture would be certain if I did.Eventually we reached a car. Ryker opened the door for me.“Thank you, Alpha,” I murmured. “Alpha?” He huffed out a quiet laugh. “It’s good to know you still respect me in that way. I know Alpha Enzo i
Alpha Enzo 086 | FRUITLESS
Enzo’s POV“He’s got us chasing our tails, Alpha.” Marla leant across the table, eyebrows raised, and flicked me with the end of her ponytail. I jerked up and frowned at her. “This has to stop.”I leant back in my chair, my brow still furrowed, until the front legs came up off the floor. We were in the meeting room downstairs, regrouping after yet another failed search party. Davin had sent scouts with another update – Bennett was travelling through Wales, a part of the world that had no connection to the Wolven Realms whatsoever. We’d expected him to go to Australia, Russia, or Argentina – not the United Kingdom. He’d spent a week in Scotland, a week in England, and was now tracking some old, long-forgotten legend through the Welsh valleys.I’d kept searching closer to home, aware that Bennett could be leading us away from Scarlett’s real location. Our search parties were spreading further and wider across the Canadian Realm, dipping down towards America. If one of the Chosen had her
Alpha Enzo 087 | BREAK OUT CAMP OUT
Scarlett’s POVI exhaled sharply. “It was him? Alpha Enzo killed them?” I shuddered. No wonder nobody had wanted to tell me the truth.“I never understood how you were able to forgive him. I’m still yet to find my mate, of course, so I cannot know how strong the pull of the mate bond is.”“Very.” I gulped. “But I don’t think I’d be able to forgive that…” I trailed off, my brow puckering. “Then again, I don’t know who I am anymore. Not really.”“I wish I could help you with that, Scarlett, I really do. You’ve been in Moose Creek for a while now, so I don’t know what happened to you while you were there. But you were determined with me, eager to push yourself to fight for what was right. All you wanted was to make a home for yourself.” He shrugged. “We always got on well, especially as we grew closer once you’d moved into the pack house.” His fingers tapped out a staccato rhythm on the wheel, but his expression remained calm – almost flat. “You’ll learn who you are once you’re away from
Alpha Enzo 088 | ON THE MOVE
Enzo’s POVWe packed up and headed out. I finally felt like we had a real lead to follow – not another fruitless adventure designed to set us back. Every time Isaak had brought us a suggestion before, it hadn’t panned out.But I had a good feeling about this one. A damn good feeling.My heart swelled at the thought of finding Scarlett again. The mate bond pulled me, aching, out into the woods surrounding my pack house. There was hope in the air for the first time in weeks. We were going to find her today. I just knew it.“You’ve been giving that medical apprentice a lot of responsibility lately,” Marla remarked, pulling me back. She smiled at everyone that passed us, nodding at them to go ahead. “Are you sure it’s a good idea?”“He’s really been stepping up since Scarlett was taken.” I waved at a Warrior Wolf as she strode past. She grinned back brightly and gave me a double thumbs up. It seemed that everyone was feeling the positive energy I’d successfully convinced myself was in the
Alpha Enzo 089 | NEW ARRIVAL
Scarlett’s POVIt was settling into dusk by the time we arrived at the camp. Having slept through most of the car ride, I had no idea if it was the same evening we’d been working towards yesterday, or if my resent burst of air magic had sent me to sleep for an entire day. I looked around blearily, fear gnawing at my gut. I had no idea where we were. Ryker smiled at me. “You’re awake. Good. We’re here.”I yawned. My whole body felt drained still. “How long was I asleep for?”“Hours and hours. I was a bit worried, actually. I stopped and checked on you a few times.”“You did?” My frozen heart warmed slightly. “Thank you.”“I’ve just got you back safe. I’m not going to, ah, what is it people say now?” He smiled wryly as he said, “Fumble the bag, as it were.”My brow tightened. “I’ve never heard that expression before.”“It’s quite human. I’ve spent a lot of time in human cities lately. I think we were missing out before, keeping ourselves separate. Maybe our wolven societies could use a
Alpha Enzo 090 | THE STONE
Enzo’s POV‘What the Hell do you think that means?’ I asked Marla through a mindlink as we sprinted home in our wolf forms. ‘He didn’t fly?’‘I’d say that bit is pretty self explanatory, Enz. He didn’t catch a flight.’‘Please, Marls, don’t be cute with me right now.’‘Sorry.’ She flicked me with her tail. ‘But I don’t know what it means. We’ll find out, though. Besides!’ Another flick. ‘Davin is back. You’ll find out more from him, I’m sure.’I gritted my teeth and nodded sharply. She was right. Knowing that didn’t mean that the knot in my chest loosened at all, though. It pulled taut as we wove through the woods. I was being pulled in two directions, desperate to find out what had happened to Davin and aching to follow the trail in the hopes it would lead me to Scarlett.I’d sent my subordinates to follow the trail, of course, but they hadn’t seemed convinced and I wasn’t sure they’d follow it to its end as I would. My whole mateship with Scarlett had been hard on my entire pack –
Alpha Enzo 091 | DREAM OF ME
Scarlett’s POVIt took me a long time to fall asleep, even though I was exhausted. Being stuck in that limbo between being awake and asleep reminded me vaguely of being in the coma, though the memories of that time were hazy and odd to me now. Had I been able to hear? Had I been stuck in my body, unmoving, as I was now?I sighed and rolled over. The hut I’d been given was nice enough, if a little basic – just four walls constructed of stacked logs, with no windows, a single stooped door, and a bare-bones dirt floor, covered by a thin, well-worn rug that had seen better days. I had a bed, a crooked old thing with a moth-eaten mattress, but it was comfortable enough and the duvet was warm. There was even a dresser with a candle on it. No, my surroundings weren’t the problem. I was.Eventually, though, my exhaustion pulled me under.My dreams were as turbulent as my waking life. I felt as though I was drowning in syrup, unable to breathe, unable to swim up or down or even turn my head. I
