2021-11-20 20:14:22Jeremy’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

They lay tangled in each other’s arms until, ironically, Isabella was the one who finally fell asleep, tuckered out from their night together. Jeremy lay there for a long time, listening to the sounds of her steady breathing as she snuggled against him. Eventually, he forced himself to ease out of the bed, rising and putting on his clothes. After the results of last night, there would be plenty of work today, and he needed to find out if Blaze had managed to recover any of the leftover data.As he eased the door to his bedroom open and started to slip out into the hall, he glanced back over his shoulder. This woman—the only person on the planet who knew everything about him and accepted him, who cared for him anyway— was perhaps the closest thing he’d ever had to a true friend, even closer than his packmates. He cared for them, too, but it wasn’t the same. Not when they’d never known the truth.As he stood there, watching her, the vo

Isabella awoke midafternoon. As soon as she sat up, realized what time it was and that Jeremy was no longer beside her, her mind began to race. She needed to tell him. He’d asked her to wait until this morning, and now the time had come.As she dressed, her hands shook with nerves. Just as she was about to head to his office, the door to his room burst open.Isabella jumped. “Layla?”The Grey Wolf female glided into the room, not bothering to knock. Her sudden arrival at the Missoula ranch was a surprise.As if she could see right through her, Layla’s jaw dropped in openmouthed glee. “I knew it! You slept with him.” Isabella’s blush deepened, and Layla’s hands flew to cover her mouth.“Shh,” Isabella hushed her. “If you announce it any louder, every wolf in the cabin will hear you.”Layla’s mischievous grin widened. “I can practically smell his scent on you.

Isabella found Jeremy in his temporary office inside the cabin. He didn’t turn toward her when she entered. He was standing over his desk, his hands on the polished wood and his back toward her as he stared down at a stack of papers. She watched as his shoulders shifted and tensed, each movement highlighting the sinew and muscle that lay beneath his shirt.She closed the door behind her. When the latch clicked shut, Jeremy turned toward her. She was already shaking her head at him.He frowned. “I see Sierra and Layla told you the news.”“They did.” She nodded. “I was surprised you didn’t deliver it yourself.”He cast the papers in his hand onto the desk. “It seemed like it would be easier if I didn’t.”“Easier? For you or for me?”Jeremy watched her for a long beat before making a show of scanning over his paperwork. She wasn’t sure whether he was trying to brush

The breeze from the open air ruffled Isabella’s hair as she gazed out the window. She was sitting in the back seat. The windows were rolled down, and the air from the open highway blew into the cab. They’d been on the road for the better part of an hour as they headed back down to Wolf Pack Run in the foothills of the Beartooth Mountains outside Billings.After Isabella had left Jeremy’s office, she’d run to her room and packed her things. Sierra and Layla had found her like that, red-faced and eyes puffy from crying as she shoved the few amenities she had into an old backpack. Neither of the Grey Wolf females had asked what happened or attempted to pry further. They’d simply helped her pack, loaded her up with tissues and hugs, and ushered her out to the car. The only words spoken were Sierra’s occasional mutterings under her breath about how her brother “was a damn fool” and how she’d “skin him alive” as soon

It had been a little over an hour since Isabella stormed from his office, yet Jeremy hadn’t managed to get any work done. He had tried to rid his mind of her, but he was failing miserably. He’d even abandoned the counterstrike plans and gone out to the calving shed to muck out the stalls and lay down some fresh hay to clear his head. Nothing like cleaning up cow shit to make a man put his own bullshit into perspective, but it was no use.He was still struggling to wrap his mind around the part where Isabella had confessed she was pregnant with his child. Shit, he wasn’t certain he was ready to be a father, but the thought of having a family with Isabella filled him with hope for the future—even as he mourned the inevitable loss of his pack.He jabbed the shovel he was holding into the hay, digging and lifting another pile into the wheelbarrow.And she’d told him she loved him.Jeremy hadn’t said those three words to a wom

Isabella wrapped her arms around her knees and huddled in the corner of the vampires’ cell. After Eli and his hired Rogue wolf thugs had abducted them from Sierra’s truck, they’d thrown Isabella and Layla into the back of their van. They’d duct-taped their mouths and bound their hands and feet, leaving them no escape. Isabella’s stomach had churned in fear with each turn of the van’s wheels, bringing them closer and closer to the vampires’ coven, but that was nothing compared to the fear she felt now.As soon as they’d arrived, the vampires had separated them. Which meant those bastards had Layla alone. Isabella’s heart thumped as her pulse raced. She’d never forgive herself if Eli hurt Layla.She hung her head. “It’s me you want revenge against, you bastard. Leave Layla alone,” she whispered. She’d screamed it for nearly the first hour since they’d locked her up, but it’d q

They found the abandoned van several miles outside downtown Billings. On occasion, Blaze’s ability to tap into the local police force’s radio scanners had its advantages. From there, it wasn’t difficult to realize that Eli and Lucas had taken Isabella and Layla to the main coven located downtown.Eli and Lucas…what a bizarre team.With Sierra’s tip that Isabella and Layla’s abductor was Wild Eight, Jeremy figured that Eli was the culprit. Considering what Isabella had confessed about putting down Wyatt like the vicious dog he was, it was easy to pinpoint why the former Wild Eight member wanted revenge. Jeremy had no clue whether Eli and Lucas had been working together from the start, but it was of little consequence.The Billings coven was housed in an underground fortress that boasted superior security. A battle there would cause serious casualties, but it was a risk Jeremy was willing to take.Because he was going to g

Jeremy awoke twenty-four hours later in the pack’s new infirmary to find all eight of the elite alpha warriors, the packmaster included—along with Layla and a few others—standing over him.“What’s going on?” he rasped. He eased up in the bed, scratching at his beard. He couldn’t remember how he’d gotten here. “Did we manage to kill…?”Maverick nodded. “Lucas is dead. As for his work, that’s uncertain. They drew Layla’s blood when they held her, and since she’s pure Grey Wolf…”There was a chance another vampire could carry out Lucas’s twisted scientific legacy. It would likely take time for someone to pick up his work where he left off, but still.“Not to mention that bastard got away,” Malcolm snarled.Jeremy raised a brow.“Apparently, the vampires had managed to take the Rogue captive.

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. Anthony draggedMischief to the corner of the room, since his burst of flight had exhausted him.Moon held out his hand to me, helping me to my

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. Had it been a brother or a sister? Did they die in the womb, at birth, or after? Would t

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…?
