I squinted at the ring I could see dangling around that Alpha’s neck. No, that couldn’t be mine—unless the call boy had sold it off that quickly? Why would another pack’s Alpha want it?Thankfully Greg didn’t indicate that he’d noticed it, just ranting on about how important it was that he become th
Elroy didn’t seem to think I was joking, but that was okay. He would never be allowed in the venue if he did show up, but it was still nice to hear him solemnly promise he’d be there.I was sure I’d never see him again, but I was grateful to him. I’d probably never understand why he’d let a virtual
Oh, I thought dumbly, I guess that explains how he got in the venue. Then I thought, Wait. Does that mean I tried to pay a pack Alpha for sex?Why either of those were my first thoughts was beyond me—there were far more important bits of information in there. Like, for instance, the fact that I had
Moonshadow deserved me. It wasn’t until we were outside of the building that Greg seemed to realize he could move again. “You ungrateful bitch!” he yelled after me. Then he was yelling wordlessly into the sky, a roar that became a howl, that was joined by more howls with every step I forced myself
Elroy paused, several emotions flitting across his face in quick succession. I didn’t have the emotional bandwidth to decipher them all, though, not with everything I’d been through in the last few hours—let alone the last two weeks.I put my hand over my baby as I tried to come up with the ghost of
Elroy searched in my eyes for a moment before apparently deciding I was telling the truth (or maybe just figuring he would be able to catch me if I tried anything). He leaned back slowly, releasing my arm, and I kept my eyes on his as I closed the car door. Elroy looked pleased.“Good,” he said, tur
I had been monumentally stupid. Since Damian had accepted our Bond in the sacred ceremony and I wasn’t able to cut it off entirely, he had access to me through it. It wasn’t as powerful as a Bond accepted by both parties, but it was enough.Of course, now that I knew this I couldn’t leave the Bond a
There might be other ways to break the bond. There was no other way to feel my mother’s embrace.Damian could feel the moment my mind was made up, my determination echoing through the Bond, and he jumped to his feet with a roar. I didn’t flinch, but many of the other customers did.“Give it to me!”
Olivia’s POV My vision was gray around the edges when the pressure on my chest suddenly vanished. I gasped, cool air rushing into my starved lungs as I gulped it down greedily. For a split second I was so grateful I didn’t even bother wondering what happened. Then my vision cleared, and as I wat
Elroy’s POV The neon lights of the casino blurred together as my eyes finally broke open. I was alone in an empty casino, and Olivia was gone. I was groggy and uncoordinated, barely thinking as I struggled to push myself standing. My neck hurt where they’d buried the needle in, and whatever they
"Every single person here came on their own," Fay told me, her fingers absently tracing loops in the coarse dirt beneath us. “I never meant for this place to become a sanctuary, but one person came to us and then…" She trailed off, her gaze distant. My chest tightened. "How did they all find you?"
Cory nodded, his silver hair catching the dim light. "If you're comfortable, Luna Olivia." I hesitated, my hand instinctively moving to my belly. This could easily be a trap, but after the physical struggle of last night plus my panic attack, I couldn’t deny that I was terrified for my baby. Just
My bound hands trembled in front of me, the plastic tarp walls of the hut seeming to close in around me, matching the tightness in my chest. Ines's words echoed in my mind as I sat there alone, staining my previous views of the world. The realization sunk in deeper every second. The Omegas I’d bee
I truly believe that panic attack would have never stopped, if it weren’t for my body’s eventual exhaustion. I would have cried and screamed until my heart gave out, I would have died right there, but by the Goddess’s grace I passed out first. My whole body hurt when I woke up, and my wrists burne
The rough fabric of the sack scratched against my face as it was yanked away, leaving me adjusting to the limited moonlight. We were definitely outside—and above ground, thank god—but surrounded by trees. My first thought was that they’d taken me to the park, but there were no streetlights and too m
Yes! She’s talking about Omegas! Here’s my chance. “I don’t know,” I interjected. “Most of this is above my pay grade, but I’m not sure why an Omega would risk coming somewhere like this? I mean, you have a lot of security, but still.” “She has a point,” the masked man nodded. “I agree that they
Olivia’s POV The leather upholstered chair at the owner’s table was a siren call I couldn't ignore, and I made my way to it with tunnel vision. The line had been so long last time I looked, and now there was no one. I wouldn’t get an opportunity like this again. As soon as I sat down, though, th
