She gasped, her heart pounding in her chest as Matthias drew her close, his breath fanning against her skin, both their chests rising with each hurried breath. Matthias was livid, more furious than she’d ever seen him. And that, more than anything, pissed her off for no particular reason.

Snarling, she dragged her arm out of his grip, putting some distance between them. “I’m asking about, Lyra. Don’t change the subject.”

Matthias’s fists clenched by his sides, a muscle in his jaw ticking as he fought to restrain himself. “Lyra is none of your business. You have no right to my personal matters, just like how I have no right to yours. We fuck, Raine. Nothing more, nothing less.”

Technically, Matthias was right. She’d been the one to draw that line after all. She was mated to someone else, and he was practically a free man. She wasn’t exclusive, so she had no right to ask him to be.

This jealousy, was unfounded and unnecessary. Loathe as she was to admit it, Matthias could fuck an

    Killian was in one of his moods again. Selene was not new to them, she didn’t particularly like them, neither did she hate when he did it, she was more or less, nonchalant. What she did hate, was how often he seemed to get them nowadays. Killian Voss was a genius, an enigma of his time. One of the most brilliant minds of their century. But somehow he’d manage to digress to the emotional maturity of a teenage girl in less than a few short months. She glanced up from where she sat, sprawled on the couch in their living room, filing her nails, while Killian paced back and forth, frowning down at a square polaroid picture in his hands. “Killian, sit down! All this pacing is making me antsy.” She snapped, glaring at him. Killian startled, looking at her like he’d forgotten she was even there. He didn’t answer immediately, reaching up to run a hand through his hair. Unable to take it anymore, Selene got to her feet and yanked the picture out of his hands. The people in it were un

    Ronan turned incredibly pale and scampered off of her, staring down at her like she’d just told him she was leaving to join the circus. Selene sat up, frowning up at me as she gathered the sheets close to her. “What’s is it? Did I say something wrong?” Ronan narrowed his eyes. “Was that a joke?” He growled, hands fisting by his sides. “Was what a joke?” She asked, bored now that it seemed Ronan was not interested in having sex anymore. “Don’t play dumb with me! What you said, about Killian liking Raine. Tell me you were joking.” He snarled, speaking like each word was bringing him physical pain. “Why would I joke about something like that?” She pouted up at him. “And more importantly, why does the idea get your panties in such a bunch. You don’t care about her anymore.” “Doesn’t mean I want your brother's grubby paws all over her. Raine belongs to me!” Now Selene was pissed. She pushed the sheets off of her and got to her feet, stomping away from Ronan to put her robe back

    The other woman, whose full name she later found out was Lyra Scott, seemed to be every where in the pack house now. Matthias claimed they hadn’t had sex since Lyra returned from her mission, but Raine seemed to find her walking out of Matthias’s room at every hour. The logical part of her brain told her it was to be expected. Lyra was a medic, and Matthias was injured, still recovering from the wolfsbane laced knife wound. Of course, Lyra would be around more often to monitor his progress. But, the other part of her brain, the more wolf like part was not having it. And to make matters worse, the alpha hadn’t touched her since that day, and Ronan was hardly ever around. On the day he was, he came to bed late, and reeked of another woman. She registered her mate's infidelity absently, keeping notes to use against him much later, too occupied with Matthias and Lyra to pay much attention to Ronan’s indiscretion. That morning, she left the pack house as early as dawn to avoid runnin

    Temptation was a fatal flaw. Killian did not make it a habit to succumb to it. But something about Raine was damning. He stood in the darkness of his bedroom, staring down at the coat draped over his chair. A coat that still smelled like her, fabric that had kissed the pale softness of her naked skin. Killian was usually stronger than this. But the full moon was near. His beast made terrible decisions during this time. Killian decided he’d blame this one on the beast as well. Fingers twitching, he reached for the damned coat and brought it to his nose. He took a lungful, and almost immediately, his cock swelled as he remembered the way she’d looked earlier, pale and golden in the morning sun. A vision. Shaking, Killian dug his hands into the fly of his slacks and took his harden cock in his hand. Burying his face in the coat, breathing in her scent, it took him some strokes of his cock, before his knees buckled and he came all over his gloves, groaning and sinking down t

    “What are you doing?” He asked very carefully, eyeing her like she was a dangerous intruder. Raine shrugged, fighting the urge to wrap her arms around her body and shield herself from his stare. “I realized that I might have acted too harshly.” She said, keeping her voice as calm as she could. “If we’re to be mated again, I think it is only fair I take care of your needs. That way, you won’t feel it is necessary to get your pleasure elsewhere.” Ronan stared her down, eyes narrowed with suspicion. “You want me to have sex with you?” “Yes.” She moved closer, pressing herself against his arm, his wet skin against hers, causing goosebumps to rise over her flesh. “I am your mate. It’ll be good for our wolves to be more intimate. Restore that connection we lost.” “This is a waste of time.” He scoffed in anger, pushing her away. “Our wolves don’t need to be reacquainted because I’m not going to mate with you.” She gaped at him. “But Matthias said-” “I don’t care what he said!” He grow

    Maybe it was the Knowledge that every last of their wolves was currently on a run, weaving through the forests around their borders in wolf form. Killian was strong, but even he couldn’t stop a pack of lunar crazed wolves from tearing them to shreds if they were discovered. “Killian,” She called again, when he didn’t reply the first time. “I don’t like it here.” “Neither do I." He snapped. “But it is a necessary evil.” He leaned forward in his seat, the moonlight turning his white hair into silver. His brows furrowed, mouth turning down at the corners as he concentrated on something. He was in that position for a while, until he sat up suddenly. “They’re gone.” He said, “Let’s go.” Selene blinked, skeptical. “They’re done with their run? Already?” “No, not with their run.” He snapped at her, voice cutting like he was speaking to a preschooler. “But they’ve migrated from this place. We have to hurry before they return.” “I don’t know why we couldn’t pick another place to do th

    All the elders stood in a crescent, calling forward wolves who had proven themselves in the last lunar cycle, hunters, warriors, and mothers. And then came the part Raine had been waiting her whole life for. Elder Maren, one of the oldest members of the pack, having been there since the inception of the first Draven, stepped into the mating circle at the center of the clearing, and spoke, his voice ringing clear through the night. “We call forward Ronan Draven and Raine Whitmore to stand before the pack.” His voice was hoarse and croaking, sending ripples through the gathered crowd. The crowd stilled, murmurs quieted, the crackle of the central bonfire was sudden deafening. Ronan extended his hand forward, Raine glanced down at it, before dragging her gaze back up to him. His gaze was dark and unreadable. Raine hesitated. After a deep breath, she stepped forward, placing her fingers in his hands. His hands tightened around hers, his grip firm, and warm. The kind of touch that

    Matthias got closer, and his heart lurched violently in his chest. He knew this woman. His heart was in his throat as he crouched down and got a closer look at the woman’s face. “Diane.” He whispered, the name catching in his throat like thorns on a rose. This was Diane Whitmore, Raine’s mother. A woman he hadn’t seen in years, since the death of her mate, Raine’s father. Matthias had known her well. She was younger than him by a few years, and she and he had been mates their whole lives—school, work, even the pack army. And here she was, dead. Nothing but a body in the dirt. He crouched low beside the body, his vison sharpened, his wolf close to the surface, his senses flaring. “Can you smell the wolfsbane on her, Thalia?” He asked, turning his head slightly over his shoulder. Thalia stepped closer, her face stoic and unsmiling. “Yes, alpha. Her lips are blue too, and her skin is almost translucent. Do you think she might have been poisoned?” Matthias nodded, getting to his fee

    Matthias looked down at her, his gaze heavy on her as they stood next to each other, close enough that she could feel his heart beat against her chest, breathe the same air. She longed to close the space between them, feel his lips against her again, it’d been so long. The alpha was quiet for so long that Raine began to fear that he would actually reject her. Shame curdled deep in her chest, and she stepped back, turning to leave, but Matthias would not let her. Reaching out to grab her hand, he dragged her back into him and clamped his mouth down on her, shutting up whatever protest was brewing on her lips. Raine moaned in surprise, parting her lips and melting into the alpha’s warm hold. His hands wrapped around her, caging her in, and lifting her off her feet, Raine wrapped her legs around him, laughing breathlessly against his lips. He stared up at her, his grey eyes dark and intense. “What is this, Raine?” he asked in a low voice. She shrugged, kissing him softly, pullin

    Someone was screaming his name, there was heat at his back, his fists kept hitting soft flesh, his anger rising with each unobstructed blow to the man beneath him. Someone rushed forward, clamping their hands around Matthias’s midsection, and dragged him off of Killian. The person yelled something in his ear, and Matthias realized it was Silas. “Dad, stop!” he was yelling, “Stop it!” Matthias huffed, his chest heaving with each breath he took. Slowly, the haze of anger began to clear from his gaze, and he began to take in the havoc he’d wreaked. All around the clearing, the pack wolves had stopped all they were doing to stare, wearing matching looks of shock and horror, some of his men had gathered round him, probably to hold him off, and some of them stood to the side, helping Killian up. Matthias dragged his gaze forward, taking in the damage he’d done to the other alpha. His nose was bleeding, staining his white shirt, there were bruises on his face that were already healing

    Another figure caught his attention, and Matthias turned to where the ward witch stood at one far end of the field, smiling up at Ronan with a glint in his eyes. Hansel, or what was his name. Matthias was still skeptical about this entire thing, the only reason he’d agreed to bring the witch on was because he didn’t want something like this occurring for the third time. What kind of ruler would he be if he let his personal biases influence the safety of his pack. But now that he’d actually met the ward witch, Matthias wondered if he should have held on to those personal biases a bit longer. Something about the witch rubbed him the wrong way. Maybe it was because the boy reeked of magic and looked too much like those damned twins to be comfortable. But there was also something else, a thing Matthias could not put his finger on. He did not trust Hansel. He did not trust anything from the Voss. He just hoped this decision wouldn’t come back to bite him in the ass. Lyra shifted bes

    Lyra was the first to hear her come in, her head snapping up. She watched Raine approach wearily, pursing her lips like she was expecting another treatment like the one she got earlier. But Raine chose to pay her mind, bowing instead at Matthias. “We’ve had your mother’s body brought down to the creek.” The alpha said, his voice hoarse. “Whenever you’re ready, I’ll take you down there, and the procession can start.” Raine nodded, even as the thought of finally saying goodbye to her mother filled her with a grief so profound she couldn’t even put it into words. Matthias didn’t say another word, and with one last nod, he turned and led Raine out the house, past the pack and down to the creek where Diane would be cremated. Just like her father, and every other wolf in the pack, Diane Whitmore would be cremated on the banks of the pack’s only creek, and then much later in the night, during the customary crossing over party, Raine would scatter her mother’s ashes over the fields, under

    Raine sent her a dry look. “My business is with Matthias.” “Of course.” She nodded, blinking rapidly. “You don’t look so good, are you sure you’re up for today?” “I don’t need your pity.” She sneered, her anger curdling into something ugly that fought to spill out. “If I have any health related issue. I know where to find you.” Lyra reared back, brows furrowed like she didn’t understand the attitude. Her mouth parted slightly, like she wanted to say something, but she changed her mind, nodding once instead. “Of course, please do not hesitate to reach out.” She cleared her throat, squeezing Raine’s shoulder as she walked past. “I truly am sorry for your loss.” Before Raine could say something scathing in response, Lyra was gone, shutting the door behind her as she left. Raine huffed, her anger boiling over until she wanted to scream with the force of it. She swept forward, catching a glimpse of herself in the large mirror. As she stared at the columns in her throat, and her

    Hyper aware of both Malte and Thalia’s gazes on him, Ronan fished out the box he kept in his coat pocket and marched forward until he was standing in front of Killian’s desk. Killian kept eye contact with him as he closed the space between them, one corner of his lips tilted up in a small smirk. With a deep breath, Ronan dropped the box on the table. It was a packet of tea. A very familiar brand. Ronan knew what it meant, and so did Killian. The alpha’s gaze dropped to the box, a muscle jumping in his jaw before he dragged his gaze back up. The smirk was gone, replaced with a dark look Ronan could not read, but sent chills down his spine regardless. “Give us Hansel, and it’s yours.” Selene snorted, rolling her eyes. “This is ridiculous.” Killian ignored her, and so did Ronan. “Do you realize what you’re offering?” Killian asked. Ronan nodded. “Yes. Give us the ward witch, and you can have it.” Selene scoffed again, glaring at both of them. “You can’t seriously be

    Malte and Thalia were in Killian’s study room when Ronan joined them. He was brought by one of the security guards to cover up the fact that he was far too familiar with the house. Malte glanced up from their seat on the couch when he walked in, and his gaze on Ronan felt almost knowing. Like he knew more than he was letting on. Ronan deliberately kept his gaze away from the man, walking around to take the space next to Thalia. Killian sat at his desk, looking down at all of them like a King from atop his throne. Selene stood next to him. They were a vision in matching white fur, their hair flowing down their shoulders, looking like mirror images of the other, their piercing blue eyes twin lasers over the room. Ronan felt a chill down his spine at the sight of them both. He’d forgotten just how powerful the twins were, and this was a chilling reminder. “Ronan Draven.” Killian drawled, with his chin in his palm, he looked almost bored. “How nice of you to finally join us.” “Alpha

    Ronan went straight for the slave houses, where Selene had brought him the first time he met Hansel. Ronan kept his head low as he walked through the pack, but he was a familiar enough face that no one paid him much mind. Once at the house, he headed straight for Hansel’s room, giving a cursory nod to the handler stationed at the reception. The alpha woman sent him a small wave, barely paying him any mind. With his heart in his throat, he took the stairs two at a time, hoping Hansel was home. He didn’t bother knocking before he pushed the door open and stepped in, only to come to a complete stop at the sight he walked into. There was a large man on a chair by the corner, and Hansel knelt between the man’s spread legs, his head bobbing up and down as he serviced the much larger wolf. The man was the first to notice Ronan, and he failed in surprise before pushing Hansel away. The smaller ward witch turned around in shock, blinking blearily at Ronan before his eyes cleared in recogni

    The kiss was uncalculated, a spur of the moment. There was a reason why Killian did not indulge in spurs of the moment, because they had consequences and fallouts that he was not ready to deal with. Case in point, Ronan Draven’s hot air in his face as the young man’s hand fisted in Killian’s shirt, snarling against him, his nostrils flared wide as he scented Killian, the smell of his mate driving him even wilder with anger. “Answer me.” He growled, shaking Killian until his teeth rattled. “Why do you smell like Raine?” Killian cocked a brow, taking in the sheen of sweat on the boy’s face. “What an interesting reaction to have for someone you care nothing about.” He caught Selene’s gaze from across the room, watching her eyes narrow as she watched Ronan’s display. “Or have I missed a memo somewhere, Draven? Since when did she become out of bounds?” “You killed her mother.” Ronan hissed. “I will not let you go near her.” Killian rolled his eyes, pushing Ronan away with little eff
