Terrell startled awake, sweating glistening on his brow. He grabbed at his chest, looking for the blood that had been there. His head spinning, Terrell sat up on the floor of the cabin.
“We've landed in Georgia, sir.”
Terrell looked around him cautiously. A nightmare. It had only been a nightmare. Her face, the alarms, the overwhelming feeling of...
Terrell rushed to the bathroom, lurching over the toilet. He emptied the contents from his stomach in piercing loud pushes. He was dizzy from the nightmare, from the feeling of the plane bolting from left to right. His head pounded in his ears from vomiting, and his eyes blurred as he tried to focus and calm the nausea that continued to threaten him.
“Sir, are you alright?”
Terrell hung on the toilet, resting his head on the backside of it. “Fine, just give me a minute.”
Motion sickness? Really? On a flight th

Gavin stood in the airport terminal, watching the private jet. He was furious when he saw Kyle come out on a gurney, strapped down like a wild animal. “Terrell the Terrible,” he murmured. “You strike again, and you weren't even here this time.”Kyle had been rushed to the doctor once being taken from the plane. Terrell had slowly exited the flight, looking about him for any imminent danger signs. He cupped his hands over his eyes in the morning sun and saw Gavin standing at the terminal window, waiting patiently, snarling heavily.“Shit, here we go,” said Terrell.The pilot had off loaded the luggage from the plane. He looked in the direction that Terrell had looked and saw the Alpha Gavin in the window as well.“Looks like you got yourself a welcome party.”“Don't remind me. I'm only here to give advice.

Terrell followed the solemn woman to his room. She pulled a key from her apron and unlocked the door softly. She pushed the hair back from her face as she turned to him to hand him the key.“Room 8. The corner room. Alpha Gavin has asked me to tend to any need you have, even...” she gulped hard.Terrell was startled. “Dane, is it?”“Danica. They call me Dane around here though,” she whispered. She was shaking at his presence.“Danica, beautiful. French, is it not?”She nodded, her eyes remaining on the floor.“Well, I will call you by what you ask. You are the lady here, not me. Would you prefer the name Danica?”She looked over her shoulder quickly. “I really, I need to...” She turned away from him to leave.“Wait, Danica,” Terrell called behind her.She stopped.

<Danica's POV>Oh dear God. This? This is Alpha Terrell? Why didn't anyone tell me he was drop dead gorgeous? Of course he is. He's an alpha. Not that Alpha Gavin is. Stupid man. Ugh. Him and his foot. Oh, my foot hurts Dane, rub my foot Dane.Disgusting. Fuck, get yourself together, Danica. You're the dane, nothing but the great dane to them. Nothing more. To be their... servant.I can't believe my servitude for the next three days at least are to this man. I also can't believe he caught me staring at him in the shower. But I was sent up to satisfy his needs. What needs? He's rich. He's powerful.He can afford someone way better than me. Better looking. Better, well, anything.Oh my God, he's turned around. I think he saw me staring. Shit. Look away! Look away! Look, oh dear sweet Luna, look at that man

Terrell: “Well, that went better than expected,” Jason said on the other end of the line. “Yeah, they weren't happy seeing Kyle on a gurney. But these nightmares. I think they're getting worse.” “I think you need to see a doctor to find what's causing them. It isn't something you ate is it? Maybe bad Chinese again? You remember that one time in college? Oh man, I thought you were never going to stop puking!” “Don't remind me, and no. I haven't eaten anything actually. Apparently they are having a big lunch for me here at the pack house. Kind of wish I had a personal food taster on hand.” “Just say the word, Alpha, and I will be there.” Terrell stayed quiet for a moment. A deep sigh left him. “No, let me do the thing. They need to trust me. Something about this other pack is looking for the iris.” “Iris died a long time ago,” Jason responded, confused. “That's what I said, but Gavin insisted that it wasn't

<Danica> I have no idea what just happened. It was lunch, and then, he was in my head. How? I didn't think that there would ever be a telepathic that close to me. Mom had always told me my touch was unique. I could think out loud, she would say, literally, and she meant. Sometimes, too loud I suppose. I never thought I would meet a wolf that was a telepathic either. A talker is one thing, but a shifter and a talker? What? My mind is whirling. He is so detrimentally handsome. I swear he might end up being the death of me. I also never thought I would end up cleaning slop and filth from these pathetic redneck slobbering coon hounds. That's all they really are to me, not even worthy of being called wolves. Oh I wish I could just sail away in the wind, like my mind does, like the world does around me.

Danica came down the stairs slowly after showering, listening carefully to conversation in the main hall. She tiptoed down the last step, hoping not to be heard or sniffed out.“A dress, for the dane?”“Yes, Charley, a nice one, like for church. You can get her two, just so she has an extra one for whatever. She might end up needin' it.”“And shoes? Or do you plan on her padding around in sneakers.”“Whatever. I gave her the credit card. Get her what she needs, but don't be stupid with the money. I got bills to pay, too.”“Uh-huh, sure.” Charley rolled her eyes at Gavin, knowing that the entire town supported the Alpha, and the Alpha family hadn't wanted for anything in almost 150 years.Danica came around the corner, her eyes turned down, and her hair pulled back in a neat ponytail.
