It started off conventionally – in typical fashion – at first. Or so Holly confided later when they discussed the day’s events over mulled wine in her bedroom, a place Nell had been banished to without any rhyme or reason. She spared a thought for Liam, who must be feeling something similar to her: displacement. But Nell didn’t want to examine that too closely right then. Did amnesia make a person heartless? she wondered. “That girl’s kooky, to say the least. Did you see the way she was clinging to, well, the other one?” “You mean the true Alpha?” There was no point pussyfooting around it, Simon was back from the dead and throwing his weight around as if he’d never been away. His first words to her had been insulting. Thankfully, Liam was out of earshot. “I’ve never fucked an elf. Tell me, how do you feel about doggy-style? You are the Alpha’s slave, aren’t you? Well, I’m back now, and it’s me you have to please. Remember that, hybrid.” Simon wasn’t as tall as Liam and she coul

Nell heard all the yelling well before Alpha Liam burst into Holly’s bedroom, dragging a red-faced Olivia by the hair.“Guess what she’s been up to?” he snarled.“Liam?”“Not in public,” he said.She tried not to let her indignation show. “I wanted to be certain it was you.”“Is Fallon okay?”Trust Holly. She had a good heart, despite acting a little young for her age.“No thanks to this one. She was drinking vodka straight from the bottle. I am willing to bet she would have put some in Fallon’s formula if it meant an easy life.”“Wasn’t someone meant to stay with her? Not Deborah, she does enough caring as it is.”“Whoever left her unsupervised will face my wrath followed by my fist, not necessarily in that order.”“Liv, what were you thinking? You could do irreparable harm to your unborn child.”“I know. I’m a mess. It’s Henry’s fault. He dumped me.”“Then you should have said something.”“He was the one supervising me. We had a row, and … ”Out of her eye corner, Nell could see Alp

Liam’s first instinct was to protect Nell. He pushed her behind him and waited in case whoever had fired the shot used the double doors in front of them to exit the hall. It wouldn’t have been his choice, but then he wasn’t the maniac with a gun. And what were security thinking?It wouldn’t have happened on his watch.That thought gave him scant comfort. Incidents like this could ruin a host pack’s reputation and see them blacklisted, maybe even ostracised. It was something he had worked hard to combat when he took over as Alpha.“You don’t think it could be an intruder, do you?” Nell asked.“Unlikely,” he said.“I mean, what if Josh, my ex, and presumably the father of Liv’s child has come looking for her?”“Then he’s either totally stupid or has a death wish. No, I reckon this is one of our pack members and you can have as many guesses as you like.”“Oh no, you don’t mean this is something Simon’s thought up, possibly as a prank?”He’d noticed that about her before, how quick on the

So, his secret was out now. Liam felt for Nell. She must be more confused than ever. In contrast, he felt even closer to her, which didn’t explain why he’d started to act like the Alpha she knew of old again.When she woke up in his bed, disorientated and satisfyingly – to him – naked, he took full advantage, telling himself he was only attempting to take her mind off things. Her resistance soon melted, as he had suspected, and he hauled her on top of him wanting to try something new. At least, with her.The hybrid he was now convinced was better than a mate didn’t object. She was a quick learner and soon he had to cover her mouth. Simon wasn’t too far away and, for once, he was likely to be waking up alone. There was no way he would share Nell, even though he hadn’t scrupled to join in threesomes in the past.Thankfully, the Far Hills pack had decided not to press charges, given the way Doc Troy – what was his surname? He could never recall it – had treated Rae. They would be heading

To say Nell was shocked was an understatement. Her next instinct was to be mad with Liam. How could he put her in this position? Was there method in his madness? Probably, but it made no sense. Even if he won the majority of the games, she knew Simon would never give up.“Where are you going?”“To the bathroom,” she said.It was a spur of the moment decision, because she couldn’t bear the tension in the room.“Not desperate are you? Sit.”“I don’t answer to you, Alpha Simon.”He raised his head and the aura of dominance was too much. It didn’t quite frighten her but all at once she wanted to bare her neck in submission. That was a chemical reaction Troy had discussed with her at length. He was clued up on the theory of werewolf hierarchy but was unlikely to be on the receiving end as she was now.Nell pretended to be examining the state of her fingernails. Liam didn’t have this all-consuming effect on her. She didn’t like it one bit.“Well?”In the end, she gave in, sitting next to Li

Alan Marchant was probably too prompt for his own good. To be fair, his mood was calm, even though it was unusual for Liam to send for him about anything other than a financial matter. He’d said only via the mind link that there was a situation and he needed his uncle’s help.They didn’t even get to shifting before there was a knock at the door: his distinctive double tap followed by a single.“Go away,” Simon growled, at the same time as Liam said, “Enter.”It was heartening to be obeyed. Chalk one up to him.“What’s going on, Alphas?”That wasn’t as satisfying.“My brother’s out of control.”“Hardly,” their uncle said. “You’re both handling your wolves admirably, though I can sense a third presence. Where is Nell?”“She’s in the bathroom.”“Was that in case you came to blows? Alphas … ”“There can only be one,” Liam stated. “How do we resolve this?”“If you don’t know that, little brother, you’re not fit to remain in charge.”“And you are?” he shot back. “Simon, these days I don’t r

Maybe he was morphing into Simon, but right then Liam didn’t care. Nell was in his office and available. What more could any Alpha want? If there was a part of him which needed to assert his authority by owning his new slave, teaching her who was master, it obviously didn’t come from his wolf.Thom had made his feelings plain from the moment he had asked her to give him an eyeful.Don’t treat our mate this way.But his pent-up aggression needed a release.“Do it, Nell, or face the consequences.”Her hair was down and it covered her blushing cheeks until he fisted it and demanded she look at him. From her position on the couch, and given her recent growth spurt, he supposed that wasn’t quite so daunting as it used to be for her. Those eyes were huge in that lovely face.“I’ve never done this before,” she blurted.“Liar.””Truly,” she said, her hands trembling as she tugged at his zipper.“You’ve been fucked though.”“Why are you punishing me this way?”“Because I can.

Nobody had bothered to explain to Nell what being the Alpha’s slave entailed in its entirety. She kept tugging at the short leather skirt he’d insisted she wear, relieved at least that he hadn’t objected to the notion of panties. When he’d informed her she’d be doing a lot of bending, she hadn’t anticipated being treated like a glorified waitress.The sight of Pamela sitting on Liam’s knee and giggling was something she could have done without. He was teaching her a lesson about jealousy and no mistake. How could he do this to her, and with the pack slut of all people? Still, at least he wasn’t allowing Olivia to drape herself all over him. That would probably have been worse.The twins were seated at opposite ends of the long dining table. It didn’t save her from having to serve Simon and he made sure to ask. The smell of the roast fowl was awful and she didn’t care for the pheromones in the air.Maybe she was getting off lightly, but it sure didn’t feel like it. At least Deborah was

It was her midwifery skills they wanted rather than her life’s blood. Despite herself, Nell was curious.“Will you break the news to Alpha Liam?”The Beta seemed to understand, even though he was still on all fours and lolloped away in the direction of the packhouse.Poor Jack. She didn’t envy him delivering that piece of information. But if this helped to forge a new alliance, who knew were it might lead? That was all to the good. She’d seen for herself the mingling of different species in the colony.Was she being naïve? Only time would tell.It turned out that she was about to bring yet another hybrid into the world. The human female was yet to be turned and that decision was on hold depending on whether or not her offspring lived and thrived.She was part of history. Fancy that.Alpha Liam was mad, of course, telling her she could have been killed.“Not when I’m performing a service,” she countered.“And when your usefulness was at an end?”“Vampires aren’t vindictive, just needy,

He didn’t have long, but you never knew with his kind. Perhaps loving Electra – had he ever known her real name? – had endowed him with more years. In any case Nell couldn’t forget the bond they’d shared.It was only right Sheriff Bostock released him. As a full-blooded werewolf he needed to face pack justice. Technically, that should be Far Hills, where he had been working and since he had wounded Alpha Warren’s daughter. Still, he’d been aiming for Simon and his instincts hadn’t been as far off the mark as his aim on that occasion.When he’d attempted to kill Liam at the mall, in his crazed state he’d assumed he was Simon. If Rae, her father and her mate, the Alpha King, didn’t want to press charges for the first incident, it was down to the Alpha of the Wide River pack to consider if he wanted to wreak a personal revenge on his mate’s father.Liam didn’t. He wasn’t that vindictive an Alpha. He even indicated Martin Field was welcome to see out his days with them, though not in so m

It took two whole days for Nell to heal, no thanks to her she-wolf side. Rose was a shadow of what she should be and Thom was both anxious and restless. He wanted to mount her but Liam managed to calm him down after a frustrating inner dialogue.Why not?She’s too fragile.That’s the point. My mate needs stimulation.Eventually, maybe.No. Now!In the end he went for a cold shower. He was beginning to wish Pamela hadn’t left the pack for pastures new at the same time as the departure of Simon and his cronies. Whether it was just coincidence or not he supposed he would never know, unless she slunk back and resumed her sluttish ways.Not even Nell had felt sorry for her once he explained it was in her nature and she hadn’t been forced to fuck at least half the unmated warriors.Ida came to see him a short while later. Liam was in his office, drowning in paperwork which he was having to read twice.“Any good at mates’ rights?” he asked, pulling a face.“What? Oh no, hardly.”He hadn’t me

Keeping a cool head was usually second nature to him, but this one was personal. He felt closer to Nell than anyone and was hoping to meet her pups soon. Alpha Liam was part of the clan, even if tenuously, though it was hard to accept Simon as one of them. He preferred to think all the elf genes had gone into the younger twin.Water. The thought whizzed into his head and he realised Nell was in a panic. Going into a trance state he travelled over the geographical features in the vicinity and came to the conclusion she meant him to join her at a fall of water. Could he contact the sprite? There was no harm in trying.Afterwards, he set off at a run, his pointed boots gliding slightly above the grass and soil.The scene which met his eyes was a perilous one. Still safely cloaked in a shield of invisibility, he decided not to communicate with his half-sister. It seemed she was shocked enough already.A she-wolf lay prone, unmoving, yet he sensed a rapid heartbeat.“Isn’t it done yet? Why

We lost Nell.Liam’s blood ran cold when the unusual transmission came through.Robin?Melas. My nephew is tracking them.Where are you?But there was no further message and he hit the wall in frustration, belatedly realising it wasn’t his own office he was damaging.“Sorry, Alpha King.”“Understandable.”The older man came across and began to inspect a crack in the plaster. Liam was convinced this was a wind-up. He was sure it had been there before.“Stop messing with his head, Alpha,” Rae dared.She was flicking through a fashion magazine yet it was clear to Liam it was only a prop to keep her hands busy. Biting her nails had come and gone, as had fidgeting.Brock growled, though it sounded playful to him. He was glad she’d found her special someone. Whether they were fated mates or not was nothing to do with him.Taking a risk, he shared what he knew. It still seemed incredible to him that he may have elvish blood.“I don’t think she’s dead.”Liam winced at the word he’d used. One

The Alpha King was deeply offended. He kept saying so to his security detail in front of a woozy Liam. At least the bleeding had stopped, thanks to his wolf’s superb healing abilities. Thom was both angry and whiny, distressed because he could no longer talk to Rose.What was that about? Was Nell so far away? Invisible, maybe. No, she wouldn’t do that to Ida.Unless she was in contact with her elvish kin. Rose would take a back seat if that were the case.Rae had insisted on tending to his injuries personally.“This is all my fault,” she said. “I should have overseen the issuing of the invitations. A plus one card went by courier to the Red Moon pack. When I found out I assumed they would decline or that Alpha Leo would attend just to show his face.”“Does Alpha Brock know?”She nodded.“He’s very angry with me for the slip up, though doesn’t blame me for – well, what happened afterwards. Do you?”Liam could hardly say so when she was dabbing at his head wound so carefully.“Maybe thi

They didn’t spot the gatecrashers at first. Most people were being announced; not this pair. Liam’s hackles rose immediately on seeing Jessica, the black-haired stunner he’d denied, and sure enough, Simon wasn’t far behind. They’d chosen the same colour suit, charcoal, he and his twin, which was less of a surprise than the couple’s audacity. How dare they intrude on what was supposed to be Nell’s belated special day? Though he supposed he should cut the she-wolf some slack. Even though there was no longer any mate bond connection, still he felt a tug of sympathy and something else less easy to define. His mate was simply ravishing in a golden ballgown and matching accessories. Holly had been delighted to help her select the right clutch and shoes, though Nell had chosen the dress herself. Off one shoulder, it complemented her new height, though his cousin had reported back she was apt to look through the petite rack. That made him smile. Alpha Brock had warned Nell he would claim

The pups arrived early, a girl and a boy just as her elvish mother had foretold. Nell was stuck for a name for her daughter and then she remembered the no-nonsense she-wolf Liam had met at that ball. Ida seemed to suit the baby, who relaxed whenever she lengthened the two syllables which identified her. Their son was to be known as Cal. She felt close to him, too, just not in the same way. It had been intriguing to discover elves had physically interacted with the pack before and that their blood was in the Alpha’s veins, the ethereal nature of their culture part of his DNA. Simon’s, too. Nothing had been heard from him for months but he lurked at the edge of her consciousness like the threat of the boogeyman which had disturbed her childhood dreams. Olivia was due to stand trial for murder soon. The remains of Rosemary Worthington Field were currently resting on a coroner’s slab while all the relevant forensic investigations were being undertaken. She supposed it would fall to her

He’d had time to think both before and after Rae’s arrival. They’d had a decent heart-to-heart as well. She deserved better than Si, that was for sure. Hearing that his twin was planning to oust him wasn’t a surprise – once, he would have welcomed the notion – but, for Nell’s sake, that couldn’t be allowed to happen.Liam knew she didn’t care for status given her appalling background circumstances. At least it hadn’t been all bad, though Martin Field was never going to be the same again. He was all she had now, him, the pups, the pack and not to forget the elves, though it wouldn’t be practical to live with them.Could he permit his hybrid pup to live elsewhere? Only if certain conditions were fulfilled. He’d want to see her regularly, that was for sure, and not because he didn’t trust Melas and Robin. After all, he was basing this on a prophecy delivered by Nell’s dying elf mother, something he had never thought to question.When Simon came by, in something of a hurry, he didn’t know
