2021-11-12 20:59:10Ten minutes later, Jeremy was seriously regretting the preliminary nature of that thought. All the pack was in attendance. Hundreds of Grey Wolves sat in folding chairs decorated with white satin covers and yellow silk bows, waiting for the ceremony to begin. The wooden trellis under which they sat was decorated with twinkling lights and arrangements of gerbera daisies and sunflowers. The air bustled with anticipation.
Everyone appeared happy, content, excited. Everyone except the two men standing beside Jeremy. He stood next to Wes and Naomi’s brother, Jacob Evans, a hulking, human ex-Marine and cowboy, who from the scowl plastered across his face was every bit as thrilled with his sister’s pending nuptials as he was with the fact that her groom was a werewolf.
Wes didn’t look that much better.
“Apparently you didn’t succeed in talking her out of it,” Wes smirked.
“No.” The answer from Jacob made it clear h

At least she didn’t have to wear heels. Isabella crossed her legs at the ankles, thankful for the comfort of the crafted brown-leather cowgirl boots she was wearing. She’d been trying to imagine all the ways the evening could possibly be worse, but at this point, the heels were about all she could think of.Following the sunset ceremony, the wedding party and guests had been led toan outdoor reception area for dinner and dancing. A wide garden trellis covered in hundreds of glittering lights lit up the night and the dance floor. Tables with white linen tablecloths and bouquets of giant yellow sunflowers provided seating.Isabella slumped down in her chair and tried to shrink behind the table’s centerpiece, but she knew she was failing—miserably. Every time she moved, the halter neckline of the too-tight bridesmaid’s dress pushed the large expanse of her cleavage forward, placing her breasts front and center.As if she’

Isabella couldn’t quite remember how she and Jeremy separated. He might have muttered some vague excuse to release her as someone called out his name, but the next thing she knew, she was standing alone on the dance floor. Her head was still as clouded as if he were still in front of her.“May I cut in?”The question came from behind her. Before she could answer, she was in someone’s arms again, and they were definitely not Jeremy’s.“Wes,” she breathed.“Isabella,” he acknowledged, sweeping her onto the dance floor at arm’s length. Her stomach churned. Caught up in a dance with him, there was no way toescape. And she knew full well that had been his intention.“Shouldn’t you be dancing with your bride?” she asked. It was a pathetic attempt, but she had to try.He nodded to where Naomi was dancing with a man who was clearly related to her. “She’s da

“What did you say to her?” Jeremy snarled at Wes.Moments earlier, he’d watched Isabella run from the party like someone had lit a fire beneath her boots. Something had spooked her, and considering Wes had pulled her into a sudden—albeit brief—dance moments before that, he had an idea exactly who the culprit was.“Nothing awful. Just told her if she crossed you, I’d turn her in myself.” Jeremy glared at Wes as if he were about to rip his head off.Wes frowned. “She’s Wild Eight, Jeremy. That’s my game, and you know it. What do you want her for anyway?”Since the Wild Eight’s dissolution, Wes had been in charge of the few prisoners who’d surrendered themselves to the pack. They were attempting to reintegrate them as Grey Wolves, but it would be a long process before they were fully involved in pack life.Lifelong allegiances didn’t disappear overnight.Jer

Jeremy paced across his apartment again. It was likely the hundredth time he’d done so in the past fifteen minutes. Much more, and he’d wear a hole in the floor. Isabella huddled on the sofa, an old quilt Sonya had once made for him wrapped around her shoulders and a mug of Earl Grey sweetened with honey in her hands. The mug, a previous Christmas gag gift from Sierra, read At Least I’m Good Looking… He may not have spent more than his first five years with his birth mother, but he knew from when she’d come home from meeting with Nolan that there was little that wasn’t made better by the soothing qualities of a blanket and a steaming beverage in hand.Jeremy had instructed his men to search every inch of the Grey Wolf lands. Luckily, the music had drowned out the ruckus and they were able to use the guards on hand, so the incident hadn’t interrupted the wedding, and thankfully Isabella wasn’t injured, just shaken up.His

“Who told you?” Jeremy snarled.Anger radiated off him, feral and palpable. The tension between them was so thick, Isabella could have cut it with the knife at his belt.“Who told you?” he growled again.“So you’re not denying it?” Her worst fear was confirmed. A complicatedswirl of emotions hit her. Anger, hurt, fear, pain. How could he have been lying to her this whole time?“I may not have been forthcoming from the start, Isabella, but I’m no liar.” The vein in Jeremy’s temple ticked a strained beat. He looked ready to tear into something, to maim, to kill.She didn’t know how she hadn’t seen it before. The violence in him he barely contained, the rage of an alpha male. It was so Wild Eight; he reeked of it.“No one living knows about this. Not Maverick. Not Sierra. Not even Wes, and the man’s my brother.”Isabella harbored more than a

The rain complicated things. Jeremy leaned on the open barn door, staring out at the pasture as the sky opened. He’d ridden in only moments earlier, barely escaping being drenched from head to toe. The gentle patter of the fat raindrops hitting the ground echoed inside the barn, and the scent of damp spring grass hung in the air. At least they’d managed to get most of the ranch work done. The rain would cause minor issues with visibility on the recon mission tonight, and the damp evening wasn’t favorable calving conditions, but he enjoyed the sound all the same.A sharp whinny drew his attention. Jeremy turned to find Wes’s horse, Black Jack, baring his teeth at a goose who’d taken refuge in the barn. Silver was watching the other horse with disdain, his tail raised high and haughty as if Black Jack’s petty antics were beneath him.“Leave the goose be. It’s more his home than yours,” Jeremy grumbled at Black Jack. H

Isabella wrapped her jacket around herself as she eased out into the dim lighting of the porch. The pale-yellow glow of the overhead light cast the covered wooden wraparound in shadows, and several flies buzzed near the porch light. Save for the cold of the Montana spring nipping at her hands and feet, the rustic, country feel reminded her all too much of the low twangs and smooth talking of the South she’d once called home.Save for the virile and handsome cowboy leaning against the porch railing with his back to her.She drew her jacket tighter around herself to brace against the chill. With Austin cared for and stable, she’d put her bloodstained nightgown and robe in a bath of cold water in hopes of getting the blood out, and then she’d changed back into her clothes. The screen creaked shut behind her.“I expected you’d be asleep by now,” Jeremy drawled.It was only a few hours until sunrise, and she’d been makin

Jeremy’s gaze fixated on her lips. One second, he had been thinking about capturing Isabella’s lips with his own, and the next, her lips were on his, her mouth gentle and probing against the hardened set of his jaw. Her smooth, creamy skin brushed against the rough scratch of his whiskers. She had kissed him.Jeremy growled, a low and aroused grumble as he buried his hands in the soft tangle of curls at the nape of her neck. He wanted to draw that sweet tongue of hers deep into his mouth, tasting until his cock throbbed with need and he lost himself enough to bury himself deep in the heat between her legs. But he couldn’t.He broke the kiss between them. Her breath came in short, ragged pants against his lips. His own breathing wasn’t much better.“Isabella,” he purred. Their lips were so close, he could feel the tender flesh brush against him as he spoke. “Isabella, you know we can’t do this again.”&ld

In all my dreams of being surrounded by wolves, which had haunted me since the murder of my parents, never once had those wolves been mechanicalmonsters.It turned out that reality was more terrifying than nightmares, who knew? Except perhaps the shifters had known all along that single skins had beastshidden within them as well, even if they only ever showed one face.The back of my throat was sticky with sweat in the sweltering heat of the Justice Chamber, and my heart thundered. My Charms and Anthony formed a defensive circle around me, when Moon pushed his brother behind him. The wind from Mischief’s violently beating wings gusted across my cheeks like breath.The mechanical wolves growled.I moved, as they prowled closer. Their eyes glowed, just like Moon’s, yet freakishly wrong. They wore loosely over their bronze backs the white pelts of the real murdered Alphas, as if they were wolves try

I hunched my shoulders, staring blankly back at where the House of Heights had once stood and the terrible visions from the past that Siobhanny had shown me.Now, there was only rubble with the bones of beams and floorboards jutting out.I glowered at mangled remains of the metal cage from the Discipline Cellar.Holy hell, my Charms had witnessed the atrocities committed by my ancestors. How could they be lying here with me snuggled on the lawns? How could Jeremy be running his gloved hand up and down with teasing touches between my tits, until I thought that I’d growl at him just to caress my aching nubs, for the sake of Hecate?“I’m not the same as them,” I said in a small voice. “I’m not my great-grandmother or my mother.”I could sense that my guys had stilled but I didn’t dare look over at them. “Oh, but you are, sorceres

Trapped beneath the heights sea of the ceiling in the Discipline Cellar, I stared wildly, as it bulged above Siobhanny’s head, then birthed a gilded angel whosewings beat with furious magic.Holy hell, it was Mischief in truly godly form who hovered above Siobhanny. I realized that I’d never seen him acting the archduke before and sparking with righteous rage.It was scorching-hot.Yet why had he held back when we’d been fighting? And how much was it costing him to rescue us now? Unless, you know, he had more of a plan than to fright Siobhanny into letting us go?My jerremy wrenched at the shackles around King, battling against the dark magic that bound him and hissing at its sting. King twisted in his chains to dodge the dripping heights, when Jeremy and Moon snatched up paddles to hold over his shoulders and protect him.Yep, I didn’t miss the irony of the

I stepped alone into the middle of a war. Only, there was no rattle of gunfire, boom of explosions, or thunder of tanks. Instead, there was an eerie red that swallowed the world like it’d been transformed to Mars, which consumed even the sky. My own red cocooned itself around me, as if it could protect me from the jerremy shadows in this past memory that washed over the ancient woodsand the banks of the Thames.Huh, that was what it was like to know that you’d only been a kid playing with your powers because these shadows that stormed with fury were my jerremy shadows at their most terrifying.They were the jerremy tide and boy, were they not being controlled.I paled, pressing the heels of my hands against my eyes like that would end the horror of the scene, but when I pulled my hands away again, nothing had changed: my great-grandmother was still alone on the hill beside the Thames, decimating the werewolves.S

Dazed, I stared at the smoldering bed and scorched walls of my bedroom, which had now been transformed into a battleground.I clutched Zhen, as he hugged my throat. He growled at Siobhanny, even though she was still hiding from sight.Siobhanny was the essence of the House of Heights and every Wolve Winner who’d come before me. She wouldn’t kill one of the Wolve Winner line, right? Unless, I’d pissed off my ancestors enough with my modernization of their customs because let’s face it: their traditions sucked.My uncle had often faced opposition when he’d modernized his company.But then, he’d never risked burning.I watched as my Charms warily prowled to their feet.

I was a Wolve Winner, sprawled in bed with three Claimed werewolves, an angel, and a god. But honestly, all I cared about was the guy I loved who laynext to me like he’d been cursed under a wicked sorceres’s spell.And I was the sorceres who’d poisoned him.Except, this wasn’t a fairy tale because in a fairy tale, Moon would awake on a kiss.I pressed my mouth more firmly to Moon’s mouth like this kiss would count as our first one, and it’d stir him back to life. Although, I knew that it wouldn’t count as our first kiss because Moon couldn’t feel it, and it had no magical powers to awaken him.I still imagined Moon’s arms raising to clasp around my throat, as his amber eyes fluttered open to stare into mine with love, loyalty, and wonder at our kiss, when his tongue pushed up to press between my parted mouth with equal de

In a sorcereses’ house that moved like it was made of no more than cards and any motherent could fall, I was held firm in the cool arms of a mage, when a wolve nuzzled at my shoulder. The Ambbuttador and Alex might not be mine in the way that my Charms were, but I could feel my connection to them through myshadows.How could I keep either safe from my aunt whose rage was tearing apart the House of Seasons? The ceiling warped, caving in, and I shrieked.“When you were born, I made a promise to your mum because she’d already lost a child.” Isabella levitated go to me.My mother had lost a child?I’d never known that but then, I guessed that I’d been too young to tell, before my parents had been killed.Yet why had my uncle never told me?My chest ached at the thought.

This wasn’t a cloud but the floor of the Clocktower in the House of Seasons, when I was looking out through the glbutt clockface onto the city below. I must have a bitch of a concussion, although I also had a feeling that maybe angel duty would’ve been easier than whatever Isabella had planned.Still: yey life…I groaned, rubbing my sore temples, as I shoved myself onto my knees. The room swam, and I swayed with dizziness.I was going to hurl.“Ah, you’re awake, sleepyhead. Did you have sweet dreams of sinful shifters?” My head shot up at Isabella’s voice from across the room, then I bent over again, as lights flashed in front of my eyes. Isabella tutted. “No puking in my fabulous house. My Alpha has been working hard today, and with your constant screaming about wolve rights, it’d be mean of you to give him another chore.

I didn’t know that I’d be able to experience my Charms’ pain like it was my own, but when Lyall savaged Moon’s throat right over my own Wolve Bite,severing my Claim, I howled.Agony swept through me — Moon’s own, entwining around mine — when my shadows trembled with it. I dropped to my knees on the marble bathroom floor, cradling my arms around my head.Then suddenly, Moon’s heights tugged at my red. I lowered my arms, until my look met Moon’s, even though Lyall was still licking over her bite, savoring his blood with a smug satisfaction that filled me with a shuddering urge to kick her butt.King and Jeremy prowled closer, growling.Then, despite the fact that Moon was naked apart from his collar, bitten, and shaking, he lifted his chin, which in any other Alpha would’ve looked like he was offering his throat submissively.Yet in Moon…?
