Berserker Chapter Twelve
Brodi took another sip of his water and tried to return Liv's tentative smile. He was going to have words with Asta and Kelda later. He cleared his throat. "Yes, apparently so." Smooth talker there Brodolf!"Uh, please, have some food," he offered, pushing the large tray slightly closer to her for easier reach."Thanks," Liv said as she forked up some meat and cheese onto the plates that had been left on the table. "I really am hungry. I left the forest so early this morning, I didn't eat breakfast." She glanced up at him as she filled her mouth with prosciutto wrapped around mozzarella cheese. He looked almost stricken. She frowned. "It's important you get enough to eat," he said. "What if you were out there alone and passed out from low blood sugar or something? Please promise me you'll eat regular meals while you are working in the forest.""Ookaaay," Liv said, drawing out the word, unsure why this virtual stranger was suddenly so worried about her. Wasn't he the one that didn't w
Berserker Chapter Thirteen
Back at her campsite, Liv tried to focus her attention on her equipment and putting her first notes in order. Her eyes fell to the business card Brodi Sköll had pressed on her when he had dropped her off yesterday. She blew out a frustrated breath. Her mind kept straying to her time with him. His eyes. His captivating scent. The way she couldn't control herself around him. It all shook her. She'd never simply blacked out and found herself in someone's lap before. What would she have done if his brother hadn't interrupted? Part of her shuddered a little at the thought. The other part was tantalized by it. What is wrong with me?Liv grabbed a bottled water and a power bar and plopped down in her camp chair. She had just placed the bottle to her lips when a slight rustling came from the tree line to her right. Her chest rose and fell quickly with her increased breaths as her eyes searched the shadows. For several long beats, she couldn't see anything; then, just as she was about to chast
Berserker Chapter Fourteen
After a fitful night, Liv awoke determined to get herself together and do her damn job. She was not going to let anyone, or anything, distract her today. Grabbing her daypack, her phone and extra notebooks, she headed off into the woods to try to find more of the wolves she was tasked to find. As she hiked, she thought about the last few days. Liv prided herself on her professionalism and her attention to detail. Never before had she gotten as far off track as she had since the beginning of this assignment. She needed to simply hunker down, do her job, and avoid going to town as much as possible. Fewer…distractions that way.When she stopped on a ridge to rest, she found two sets of tracks heading West. Looking more closely, she was sure they were wolf tracks. And large ones. Could they be from the two males who she had seen last night? She had thought they went East but could have always changed direction. She took out her camera, and a ruler to document her findings and added the co
Berserker Chapter Fifteen
The pack had been worried when Finn and Gunnar had returned last night to report they had been unable to find Asta. They had picked up her trail once around the human woman's campsite, but lost it a few miles after that. They also hadn't been able to find the Blackfoot pack. There was evidence they were in the area, but they'd been unable to pinpoint their exact location. Brodi was in a state wondering if he had given Killian too much trust. He'd never forgive himself if the pack he'd agreed to give refuge to had taken his baby sister. With all she liked to devil him and exert her independence, Asta had never not come home all night. Brodi and Finn had been going over maps trying to figure out where to look next when Liv's call had come in. Finn's eyes widened at the panic that came over Brodi's face as he listened to the woman's voice over the phone. A few seconds later, Brodi was running out the door. He yelled for Finn over his shoulder. "Finn, it's Asta! Hurry!" With the shoutin
Berserker Chapter Sixteen
Liv's hand reached up to massage her temple. Had she drunk too much? She didn't remember going out. She groaned as she tried to rub away the pounding in her head. Her nostrils flared as she caught something that smelled wonderful. Wait. She recognized that scent."She's waking up!" Liv heard a deep, rumbling voice announce. Her eyes popped open. At first, all she could focus on was the high-beamed ceiling above her. Where was she? Then a face came into her field of vision. Brodi. She tried to hop up but a large hand on her shoulder kept her lying on the bed. The warmth of his hand on her shoulder started to spread throughout her body and she relaxed. "Don't try to get up, yet." Brodi's hand left her shoulder and caressed the side of her face. "You've fallen and hit your head.""Hit my head?" Liv searched her memory trying to remember what happened while she attempted not to rub her cheek against his palm like a kitten. Brodi sat back in the chair where he had been keeping vigil ove
Berserker Chapter Seventeen
They were so caught up in each other, neither Brodi nor Liv noticed Kelda leave them. When Liv dug her fingers into Brodi's white ruff, she felt her anxiety and fear melt completely away. She didn't understand it but she wanted more of it all the same. Compelled to do so, she bent down and kissed the side of the wolf's enormous head and lay her head on top of his. She could feel his hot breath on the space between her neck and shoulder and the sensation set off a wash of longing through her body. A long shuddering sigh blew over Brodi's ear and had him closing his eyes against the desire to change and take her right here on this bed whether she wanted him or not. His heart had hope that she did based on her current reaction to him. The closer they were to each other, the stronger the bond felt. At this point, he'd already tear anyone apart that even looked at her sideways. He couldn't imagine what it would be like once the bond was completed. Was Liv feeling this thing between them a
Berserker Chapter Eighteen
The door creaked open and Liv sat up to watch Brodi come through the door balancing a tray in his big hands. A crystal decanter holding brown liquid, two glasses, and a plate of cheese and a variety of meats was placed in front of her on the bed like an offering to a goddess. He motioned to the decanter, "May I pour you a glass?""Yes, please." Liv took the glass of amber liquid Brodi poured for her and knocked it back. She sputtered and choked as the whisky ran down her throat.Brodi patted her back and tried to suppress a grin. "Go slow with that, min lille ylgr. It's made for sipping, not gulping."I'm okay." Liv coughed and wiped at her watering eyes. "Sipping is probably a good idea."Liv could feel her face heating but wasn't sure whether it was from the whisky or embarrassment. Probably both. "I'm fine," she croaked. Despite the burning in her throat, Liv started to enjoy the warmth spreading in her chest and flowing down into her belly. She brought the glass to her lips agai
Berserker Chapter Nineteen
Liv massaged her throbbing temples. What kind of freaking rabbit hole had she fallen into? Shifters? Time travel? Cursed by gods? Her mind reeled at all the revelations. What else could there possibly be?She sighed heavily before she met Brodi's eyes again and asked the question out loud. "What else can there possibly be?""Only one more thing." Brodi abandoned the chair and started pacing again, desperately trying to figure out how to tell her the last of it. He and Kelda really should have had a discussion about what they should tell her while she was still unconscious. Liv watched him pace until she couldn't take the waiting anymore. "Brodi! What is it? Get it over with already."His pacing stopped at her words and turned to face her once more. "It is about the fated mate part."Liv's brows scrunched together when he didn't continue. "And what is that exactly?"Brodi drew in a deep breath for strength and sat back down. "A fated mate is the only true mate a shifter will ever have
