“Don’t let that asshat get under your skin, Eva.” Lila muttered, handing me a bottle of water as she glared at a grinning Jackson while he and his pack members entered the temporary arena.

The room was filling up fast, as it seemed every single person who had come for the summit had decided to be here for the final fight. Though I guess it made sense, no matter who won, history would be made here tonight.

“Don’t worry Lila, it would take more than a cocky grin to put me on edge.” I chuckled, sipping the water she had handed me slowly, keeping my gaze focused anywhere but on Jackson. Alaric, Fenris and Lila were all standing with me, waiting for Alpha Grayson to call Jackson and I to the center of the ring. We were still about ten minutes out from the official start and odd enough, the closer it got the calmer I felt, I knew this was Sapphire’s doing, sharing her confidence with me through the bond we shared.

  • Drowning in Her Darkness   The Fight

    The attack was expected, but faster than I was prepared for. I danced out of his way, spinning back, and flipping backwards, springing off my hands and landing on my feet a distance away from a wide-eyed Jackson staring at me.“This is a fight, not a gymnastics competition.” Jackson growled, stalking forward to confront me once more.“Are you scared Jackson?” I probed him, smirking as I bend into stance again.“Of you? Never.” He lunged again, and I knew if I took the same route again, he’d see it coming, so instead I called on Sapphire’s strength and jumped up and over his head, twisting while in the air to land behind him, striking out to throw a punch into a kidney and the back of his head, then dancing away again before he could turn and deliver his own blows.When he turned to face me, I was a distance away and he looked officially pissed. If I had

  • Drowning in Her Darkness   Doing What You Must

    “I can’t believe that didn’t leave a scar.” Yanking my shirt down to cover my exposed abdomen, I caught Lila’s eye in the mirror as she entered our hotel room. I had just been admiring the smooth skin myself, surprised as well at the lack of scaring from the mortal wound Jackson had managed to inflict before passing out. “She’s an Amethyst, they can heal from almost any wound.” Alaric’s pride filled voice filled the room as he stepped through the door behind Lila, Fenris following close. Surprisingly Blake was with them as well, bringing up the rear and closing the door softly behind him. The poor guy looked beyond nervous, pushing his black rimmed spectacles up his nose. “Hi Beta, I was just wanting to check on you and make sure you were healing well.” Blake stammered, attempting to step further in the room when Alaric turned to tower over him, and though I couldn’t see his expression, I kne

    “May I be the first to welcome Alpha Evangeline Dark to the table for the first time with her new title.” Alpha Lee shouted over the murmurs of the room as I moved to slide into my seat at the large round table that had been reassembled for the summit to continue. At Lee’s words a soft round of applause filled the conference room, a few of the Alpha’s who had been on my side hooting and hollering a welcome. Laughing at their antics I waved my hands to quiet them down, laughing at the warm welcome I had not been expecting. “Thank you everyone, I am thrilled to join your ranks. Now, let’s get down to business, shall we?” “Yes, of course.” Lee agreed, flashing me another triumphant smile before turning to face the rest of the leaders, clearing his throat before continuing. “I know we got distracted the last few days with other matters, but now we need to buckle down and bring this back around to a worldwide treaty being signed.” &nb

  • Drowning in Her Darkness   A New Beginning

    “Are you nervous?” Lila’s whispered words pulled me out of the thoughts and plans pulsating through my mind. We had left Tallahassee hours ago and still had a long journey ahead of us. “No, I’m not nervous.” I answered, sighing when she gave me a look as if she did not believe me. “I’m hopeful, Lila, not nervous. From what Alaric has said everyone is excited for my return and though the elders were worried about a female Alpha, they cannot go against the Alpha table’s decision. Seems I’ll be spending a few days trying to win over the support of the packs main leaders.” “Except Alaric, he’s already one hundred percent behind you.” That was true, Alaric was supporting me and my claim of Alpha completely. “Do you think they’re all getting along?” The ‘they’ she was talking about was Fenris, Alaric and surprisingly, Blake, who were all traveling in the SUV behind us along with Gregory, Jerald, and Lucious. Link and his

  • Drowning in Her Darkness   Home Again

    I did not have any time to register what Sapphire had said before we were through the gate and speeding through the forest drive towards what I assumed would be the packs town and pack house. My mate. “Eva? Are you okay?” Lila asked as one of her hands shook my shoulder in an attempt to get my attention. “Yeah, I’m fine, I think I’m just beginning to get a little nervous is all.” I gave her a reassuring smile before turning away from her and watching the trees flash by outside the window. “Sapphire, I thought you said you didn’t think we had a mate?” When I told Lila I was nervous, I was being honest, but it was not about meeting the pack I was now Alpha of, if was about finding I had a mate right here in this pack and I was not sure how I felt about it. “I didn’t. I never felt that pull to find them. But that was definitely our mates’ scent.”

  • Drowning in Her Darkness   Needing a run

    “Alpha, where are you?” Beta Alaric’s anxious voice entered my mind mid stride as I flew across the forest floor on Sapphire’s lavender paws. I had gone out for a run this morning alone; I just needed some time alone to think about everything that had happened the past few days. “I am out for a run; I will be back when I feel a bit more relaxed.” My tone was clipped when I answered him, but I needed this to be a short conversation. Sapphire and I needed time alone to unwind. “Why didn’t you take your guard?” Alaric’s demanded. “Because I don’t need a Guard, Beta, I am not a Luna who needs to be protected, I am the Alpha of this pack, your Alpha, do not question me again on decisions that are my own to make. Understood?” I was getting tired of being questioned for every decision I made and every move I planned. I was questioned by the council, by my brother and b

  • Drowning in Her Darkness   Human?

    “We’re getting close, I can feel it.” Sapphire practically shouted through our mind in her excitement. “Calm down, we’re an Alpha, I don’t think we should be acting like a schoolgirl with her first crush.” We had only been running for about five minutes and her anxiousness to meet our mate was driving me insane. I could not imagine how she would react when we actually saw him. “You have been watching too much Netflix if that in a comparison you understand.” I could feel her roll her eyes at me and laughed in response; she was being extra sensitive now that she had caught the scent of her mate. “I thought you were a wolf, why are you getting catty?” “You went there first.” I guess she technically had a point there. “Ehh, how much further?” “I know just as much as you do Sapphire, just calm down a

  • Drowning in Her Darkness   A Human Mate For An Alpha

    Those beautifully odd eyes grew wide in astonishment as we, a giant lavender wolf, came forward out of the shadows of the forest to face him. When our mate began to back away from us, we sank to our belly, laying as still as we could with our front paws crossed before us, our chin resting on them. Our eyes trained on him as he contemplated what our actions meant. He looked confused, for a moment, his fight or flight reflex screaming at him to run away from the giant carnivore’s K9 in front of him. But instead, he took a step forward, his mismatched eyes watching me curiously. “Look at you.” His deep voice marveled as he screwed the lid onto his canteen and slipped it into a holster on his belt, a belt with housed a number of different survival gadgets he must use while hiking and camping. “I’ve never seen a wolf so large, and I won’t even mention your odd coloring. Aren’t you a sight though; beautiful.” Sapphire pr

  • Drowning in Her Darkness   Valen

    Walking to the practice fields was awkward. I guess I was still a bit of a spectacle. The human in the werewolf world, mated to their fearless leader. I could see it in their eyes as I walked past, they didn’t think I was worthy of being here, much less of a higher rank. Keeping my head held high, I refused to show any weakness. As we neared a sign that signaled training field C, I looked among the warriors currently sparing, hoping for a glimpse of Eva. I saw her bright blonde hair flash in the sunlight before disappearing behind another body and made a line straight for her. Getting closer I realized the reason I hadn’t really seen her for more then a flash was because she was sparing. But her opponent was more than double her size. My heart stopped for a moment when he swung a large fist at her head, all I saw was a concussion and the considerable damage that would come from the man’s hammer of a fist ramming into her sku

  • Drowning in Her Darkness   Understanding: Valen

    After my talk with Blake, I wasn't feeling great about my original theory. I had to be careful with my questions, trying my best to make sure I didn't say anythingthatwould raise suspicions. In all, Blake didn't believethatwerewolves abilities could be replicated. Which meant I was back at square one.I needed to find Eva. My anger at her betrayal had not extinguished but I needed answer as to how my life was going to go now. When I'd be allowed to call and ask about Alexandria and find out how my patients were doing from Michele.There were to many uncertainties in my life right now.From Blakes clinic rooms, my guards and I made our way back down to the kitchens and dining hall, I didn't think I'd find Eva still there, but it wa

    Slamming the door to my office I talked to my desk and grasped the edge trying to calm my anger, which was proving hard. "I had to do it." Sapphireargued through my mind, again. She had been apologizing since we'd been thrown from the room by our very angry mate. Our rightfully pissed the F-off mate. "Don't!" I yelled, digging my fingers into the desk until the wood gave way and crumbled in my hands. "Outof my head, now." I growled at my wolf, for the first time since Sapphire found me in that darkness, I wanted her gone. "Fine, but I did this for us, Eva. For us all. You, me, Valen, the pack. Our species."She whispered, disappearing from my consciousness immediately after. My wolf had destroyed the barest bit of trust I had managed to build with Valen. Set us back to the beginning, and I was not ready to forgive her at the moment. Tears of frustration pricked at the corners

    Pain sliced through the pleasure pulsating through my body, though oddly the sensation melded into one, a pleasure sogreatit became painful. As I came down from my orgasm, I realized my shoulder painfully pulsating. When I pulled back something about Eva was different. Her eyes, they were glowing.I pushed away from her, shifting to my knees when I saw the small trickle of blood on her lip, sliding slowly down her chin. The set of her face was different as well, her brows drawn together, her lips pressed together, as if she were expecting an outburst and ready to take the heat without complaint. As if she knew she had done something wrong.The pain pulled my attention and raising a hand to shoulder I felt hot, sticky wetness pulling my fingers back I was surprised at the splash of color across them. I was bleeding, and if the blood

    His hand slid between my thighs, finding my sensitive clit, and gently pinching it between his deft fingers before rubbing small, lazy circles around the bud. My body arched into his, soaking in the heat of his embrace.His lips brushed along my neck, trailing down, over my collar bone and along the slope of my breast. Valen made his way down my body, fanning the flames of my desire with every kiss and caress, until his lips were kissing the sensitive skin of my belly just above where his fingers worked to drive me higher.When his lips replaced his fingers, I nearly came off the bed, sparks of sensation feeling as if he’d taken an electrical current to my most sensitive parts. I wasn’t sure how long I laid there, my fingers dug into his hair, my hips bucking into his face as he lapped up every drop of honey my body produced.When my orgasm built, he refused to listen to my urgings for him to join me, instead

  • Drowning in Her Darkness   To Burn

    “Yes, I could use a little help I think.” Honestly, I was shocked the words came out so sure, I half expected to have to force my lips to move and form them.“I’m here with a little extra courage.” Sapphire piped in, almost causing me to chuckle.“Horny wolf.”“Always, especially for… all of that.” I knew by the way she purred she was referring to our very delicious looking mate.Valen stopped at the edge of the tub and grabbed a wash towel, before climbing in. The water rose, threatening to spill over the edge. A part of me wanted to raise my hands to cover my breasts, but between the bubbles and my hair I felt I was covered well enough. And really… did I want to be covered from his view? Isn’t naked with him exactly what I wanted?“Dunk your head under the water, I’ll he

    When we were done questioning Genesis warrior, Alaric and I checked in on the big bad wolf himself, only to find him still knocked out from the silver and wolfsbane that was used to keep him sedated for the trip here. This worked for me though, I wanted to check on Valen. As I neared the door to my private rooms, I confronted the warriors standing guard at the door. “Did he give you any trouble?” I asked. The exchanged an odd look before shaking their head no in unison. “Not at all.” The one of the left said, followed closely by the one on the right. “He came with us to the safe room easily.” I felt that they were hiding something, but I wasn’t exceedingly worried about it at the moment and waved them away, telling them to get something to eat. My eyes scanned the room in panic when I found it empty, as I moved to call after he guards to come back and find him, I heard

  • Drowning in Her Darkness   The Prisoner

    When we reached the pack house Alaric, and I followed the guards carrying Genesis to the dungeons. We’d decided we would check in with Genesis’s scout while waiting for the big bad wolf himself to wake up. Walking into the dungeons was almost like walking into another world. It was dark and the smell of mildew assaulted your senses the moment you opened the door. As I stepped into the blackness at the entry to the bellow ground hell hole, I felt my heart skip a beat and my breathing pick up. Everything about it reminded me of that hole. Of my own personal prison for the vast majority of my life. Alaric was holding the door open and glanced back at me in confusion when I didn’t automatically step through. Leaning closer he lowered his voice, watching me curiously. “Alpha, is everything okay?” After taking a deep breath to help steady my racing heart I nodded and stepped into the dark. Alaric moved to turn on the swi
