Lacey held the key out in front of her. "Celia found it underneath Xenia's pillow. She made a weird look and put it in her pocket when she thought no one was looking. I thought the whole thing was weird, so I stole it from her."

Frieda looked aghast. "A key, Lacey? Really? Do you know how many doors this place has?"

"I do," Lacey said defensively, putting the key back into her pocket, "but how many use actual keys? And besides, look at it." The jagged key had a carved-out seal on one end with a jewel in the middle. "Maybe it's a key to the dungeon's cells or something important. It looks all fancy."

"Well, how are we gonna test it," Frieda asked. "Celia is the one that delivers the food down there. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I want to go down there. It's so…dark."

"Just come on," Lacey said, pulling Frieda out of the room. "We should go now while everyone else is getting ready for tonight's bonfire. This is the last night of the Blue Moon."

    Jane's hands shook as she carefully skimmed to the chocolate bar's top. She ignored the sweat and clumps of wet flour caked on her face. She wanted to imitate how Xenia made the swirly chocolates for the banoffee pie. So far, in the last ten minutes, she has gone through two bars of chocolate and made four perfect toppings. "I have no idea how you can do this with such ease, Xenia." After ten more minutes, Jane gave up and decided to go with what she had. She had been slaving all day in the kitchen and between her other duties to make this, and she prayed it worked. "If there's one way to get back in your good graces, it will be with this pie," Jane muttered as she placed the last chocolate curl on top of the pie. "Done. This should be perfect." Jane stepped back to admire her work. She planned to put it up for when Xenia woke up, but no one knew when. The fact that she growled earlier indicated it might be any day now. "Hopefully, it's soon," she muttered. "I would hate for thi

  • Fearless Human Mate   The Dungeon Heist

    Lacey panicked only a little before seeing it was Frieda, who didn't look so happy. Lacey took in a shaky breath, but Frieda placed a finger over her lips before she could speak. Frieda looked down at the basket, searching for something, and her eyes lit up when she found it. "What's taking so long?" the guard asked. His voice came out in short pants. "Oh, don't worry. I found exactly what you need." Frieda took the cast iron out of the basket and walked back around the corner. Lacey was stuck in her stupor for a moment before she started to freak out again. She heard the sound of the cast iron hitting flesh, and the guard's scream came immediately after. She's going to get us in trouble. Lacey thought before the guard's scream turned into a soft whimpering. What the hell? Against her better judgment, Lacey peeked around the corner and covered the gasp from her mouth with her hand. The guard was naked from the waist down in a missionary position with his ass in the air. Fr

    "Wake Up!" The loud demand rang inside Xenia's head and sent a jolt to her heart. She felt flustered, confused, and oddly aroused at the same time. How could his voice do this? Her eyes shot open as she quickly sat up in bed. It took a minute before she realized where she was. Everything felt distanced, like the opposite of an out-of-body experience. She was looking at everything through someone else's eyes. "What the hell is going on?" Then something else hit her. A familiar scent. She followed the scent to the pillows and inhaled the faint perfumes her mother usually wears before realizing what she was doing. Then she heard a voice. It sounded far away, but she could feel her lips moving. Everything confused her now. A hand touched her head, and she turned, seeing no one beside her. It was her hand, but it felt like a stranger. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!" "I am trying to tell you, but you must relax, human. Your emotions are too strong." Again, it was her voice, bu

  • Fearless Human Mate   Taste of Control

    Nova could feel Xenia pushing through, which was good for her but not for the girl she was stalking towards. Nova could feel her claws elongating and another growl rumbling from her chest. She could hear the rapid beating of Jane's heart, which excited her. Xenia wanted Jane to be scared. Her primal side was itching to come out and make the kill. Before she got close, Jane held out the plate in her hands, and Nova stopped only for a moment to look at it. "I…I…made this for you," Jane squeaked. Nova grabbed the plate, completely taken off guard. Banoffee Pie. The memory of Xenia making this pie for them flashed in her mind. It was a rare occasion where Xenia was happy, if only for that moment. "I don't know what I did, but I'm sorry," Jane cried, falling to the floor. "Please forgive me, Luna." Xenia's anger pushed through enough for Nova to clutch the plate so tight it cracked in her hand. "You don't know what you did?" Nova said each word as if it hurt coming out of her mo

    Xenia took in labored breaths, trying to figure out what was wrong. Though she did well, Nova did just eat her body weight in food. Still, she was hungry in the sense that she needed something else. The heat tingled across her skin, arms, legs, and right between her thighs. She let out an involuntary moan. "I'm…hot," Xenia growled at no one in particular. "You can say that again, hon." "Frieda! This is not the time," Lacey reprimanded her. "You are acclimating faster than I expected," Nova said. "If I had known, I would have warned you earlier." "Warn me about what," Xenia asked out loud. The girls looked at her. "Are you talking to us," Lacey asked. "You have to get used to talking to me like this," Nova said. "Or people will start to think you are crazy." "I think it's too late for that," Xenia said, trying to make light of the situation. "Well, I have so much to tell you," Lacey said, cautiously walking around Xenia. "But I want to make sure you're not going to a

  • Fearless Human Mate   Run

    Mason could barely catch his breath. When he felt Xenia was awake, he left his scouts in the woods without a second thought. She occupied his mind, and he couldn't think of anything other than getting to his mate. At that moment, she was in front of him, in his arms, and she felt so good. As the shock of her fighting slowly dissipated, Mason took in her appearance. She looked far better than he could have imagined. Her skin was flawless, her hair framed her face perfectly, and her eyes burned right down to his core. The moment he picked her up, the sparks from their bond spread through him like an unforgiving wildfire. He closed his eyes momentarily to take it in before noticing the same reaction from her. His admiration turned into desire as he felt Rodin begging to be released. Begging to claim her his way. Mason held Rodin back as he lifted Xenia from the ground. Even in pain, she was beautiful, and he was so transfixed he felt words come out of his mouth and didn't register th

  • Fearless Human Mate   Won't Let Go

    Every part of Xenia wanted to go back to him. Telling her this was how it should be, but the moment he said those words, with a voice that was no longer human, a fire lit under her feet. Rodin. She cursed herself when she moved toward the woods instead of the packhouse. She knew the doors wouldn’t keep a beast like Rodin away from her. This…this was Rodin’s playground. His fantasy, and she fell right into it. “They are coming for us,” Nova said without hiding her excitement. Those words echoed inside Xenia’s head and through her body, and she could feel Nova wanting to take over. Xenia was initially scared, thinking Nova would run right back to him, but that was not what Nova wanted. Nova wanted the chase just as much as Rodin. She pushed Xenia to sprint through the dark forest. The darkness was thick, but the Blue Moon shone brightly above, and there was a sense of calm humming from it. Xenia thought it must have been her imagination, but she could feel Nova answer it. Xenia st

    Mason wanted to take control if Rodin got carried away, but seeing her looking at them stopped him. He expected her to run at the sight of Rodin. Run like she did before, but she didn’t. Instead, Mason felt something he never thought he would from her. Wanting? He knew it could only be from Nova, but still, it felt…good. Like a weight lifting from his chest he didn’t know was there. “Rodin.” The name fell off her lips like a light caress through his fur, and she stood on shaky legs to move closer to him. Xenia’s eyes flashed between brown and blue until Nova took over. Rodin moved closer until her outreached hand touched his head. “I’ve waited so long, mate,” she said as she buried her face in his fur. The feeling of her touching them the way they wanted, without being forced or being pushed away, had some unchecked emotion filling them. Without hesitation, Rodin stepped back, allowing enough room for him to shift back into his human form. Not a moment later, Nova fell into his a

    Lillian and Rick exchanged glances as Mason stormed into the dining room, his jaw clenched and fists, bloodied and balled at his sides. Lillian knew that meant he was in the dungeons with their shipwrecked guests. Still, she said nothing as he sat down at the head of the table with a force that rattled the silverware on the table. Normally, Lillian would offer him an alternate way to release his tension, but it looked as if even the sound of a fork scraping against a plate might set him off. So, to be safe she was careful with her movements and words.Lillian cleared her throat. “Everything is in place for tonight, Alpha,” she began. “The preparations are nearly complete. The altar has been set, and the ceremonial items are ready.”Mason didn’t respond immediately. His gaze was distant, lost in thought. He reached for a glass of water, his grip tight. Lillian glanced at Rick, who avoided eye contact and focused on his plate. He had seen Mason in these moods before–volatile, unpredicta

  • Fearless Human Mate   The Devil's Madness

    The morning of the Red Moon came quicker than Xenia had hoped. She had barely slept through the rest of the night after Mason practically dragged her from the dungeons. She had a bit of solace when something urgent came up and he left her for a while. It wasn’t until later when she felt him enter the room, smelling of earth and blood until he went into the bathroom.Xenia prayed he would leave but that went out the window the moment he climbed into the bed. She moved only for him to grab and pull her into his arms. Xenia pushed against him but he only tightened his hold.“I have to pee,” Xenia lied, preparing to bolt from the bed the moment he let her go.“You lie,” Mason grumbled, his voice drifting off as Xenia sighed into his hold.I’ll just wait until you’re asleep. She thought as she stared at the ceiling, waiting until the shadows in the room seemed to stretch long in the early light, wrapping around her like chains she couldn’t break. What was worse than having a psychotic kidn

  • Fearless Human Mate   Ghost in Chains

    Mason walked into the woods far from the packhouse. It was already late and he didn’t like being away from Xenia for too long. His instincts warned him that leaving Xenia alone was a mistake, even if the threats of her friends’ lives kept her in place for now. She was clever, and desperation could make her even more so.Mason paused in his steps, his eyes scanning the darkness ahead. He knew they were close. Lillian and Rick had found something important and refused to let him know until they got back to the packhouse, but Mason was impatient. It was too close to the Red Moon to be left out of the loop.A flicker of movement to his left caught his eye as Lillian emerged from the darkness like a phantom, her eyes blazing with fury. Rick trailed behind her, his expression stoic.“What are you doing here?” Lillain spat with irritation in her voice. “You left her alone.”Mason didn’t flinch under her glare, though her anger was palpable. He knew what she was really angry about. He expecte

  • Fearless Human Mate   Against the Waves

    Delilah hit the water hard, the icy shock of it stealing her breath. Panic surged within her, a flashback to the last time she had been submerged in the waters from an explosion–a time when death had nearly claimed her. The relentless grip of the ocean, the surrounding darkness, and the crushing weight of the water threatened to drown her in panic. I just have to swim up and I’ll reach the surface. She thought, but her body refused to move. The water was ready to drag her under. Then, in the midst of the chaos, she thought of Xenia. The image of her daughter’s face, strong and resolute, filled her mind, anchoring her in the present. She couldn’t give in to the fear. Not now. Not when they still had a chance to save her baby.Kicking furiously, Delilah forced her way to the surface, gasping for air as she broke through the waves. Her eyes darted around, searching for the others amidst the chaos. Pieces of the boat floated around, and she could barely make out the figures struggling ag

    Xenia’s breath hitched as she took in the sight of Lacey, bruised and broken, barely clinging to consciousness. Next to Lacey, sat Frieda in the same condition. Xenia’s nails bit into her skin as her fist tightened from the fierce anger that had been burning inside her. She tried to look away but something wouldn’t let her. The air around her was thick with the scent of blood. She took one shaky step forward, keeping her gaze on Lillian, who had a sickening smile on her face. I want to kill her. I want her dead! Was on repeat inside Xenia’s mind as she got closer to the cell door. I could do it, she thought. I was fast enough to dig my nails into that pretty face of hers. Nova’s power flowed through Xenia and out into the room. She felt Nova pushing her, urging her to act, to tear Lillian apart limb by limb. Every muscle in her body tensed, ready to spring into action.Lillian’s smile was gone now, replaced by a wary glint in her eyes. She had felt the shift of power, the surge of e

    The cannon ripped through the side, sending vibrations through the ship and rattling the planks and bolts.“What the hell!” Micah yelled over the noise. “Did you signal them to attack us?”“No,” Archie responded, looking just as confused as the panicked crew. “This is all wrong.”“Maybe they attacked because we’re onboard,” Eric suggested.“How would they know?” Archie asked. “This is a civilian ship with King Gerald’s flag colors.”Another cannon exploded above them. Gunpowder filled the air and like before Micah could taste the silver. Before he called out to Laurie, she already created a whirlwind to keep it away from the crew, especially the wolves.“I think your notion that they don’t know werewolves are on board is wrong Lieutenant,” Micah growled.“I don’t understand,” Archie said in disbelief.“It doesn’t matter what you don’t understand,” Laurie yelled. “Just know right now we are being attacked!”The crew sprang into action, each member knowing their role as Micah and his te

    Lottie paused mid-pace, her glare sharp enough to peel paint. “Just great. Now we have two lovesick puppies on this boat.”“Better two puppies than one seasick alpha, amirite,” Spencer quipped, trying to lighten the mood. Silence greeted him like an old, unfriendly acquaintance. “Tough crowd,” he muttered, looking around for a lifeline, None came.The boat swayed gently as the crew exchanged uneasy glances. Delilah emerged from the cabin, stepping right into the middle of the Micah-Cris showdown brewing on deck. Micah, who swayed in perfect time with the boat, looked both determined and like he might hurl at any moment. Despite Eric steadying him like a weary mother holding up a toddler, Micah’s glare at Cris was unwavering.Cris’s laughter broke up the tension. “You can’t be serious, right?”His arms crossed, voice dripping with disbelief. “You realize we’re still together. Have been for a while now. You can’t think you can just come in and break up something as real as what we have.”

    Micah stood at the edge of the pier, watching the water lap at the edge of the boat. Sweat was building across his forehead as he took a deep breath, steeling himself to walk across the plank leading up to the boat. The salty tang of the sea filled his nostrils, and the sound of the water was anything but comforting.“Alpha, we have to go!” Laurie’s voice rang out from the haul, carrying a note of urgency. Her usual calm was slipping. “Just pretend it’s a moving house!”Micah growled low in his throat, frustration evident in his tone. His usual bravado was faltering, replaced by a rare vulnerability. “Wow, thanks for that, Laurie. Super helpful. If I hurl, it’s going to be your fault.”“Can’t believe the big bad Alpha is afraid of boats,” Cris laughed, his amusement clear. “This is priceless.”Lottie, standing beside him, quickly hit him across the shoulder. “Said the guy who once jumped on Xenia’s back in the dead of night, screaming like a banshee,” Lottie shot back, a smirk playing

    Xenia’s heart pounded as she narrowed her gaze, locking onto Mason’s intense expression. What are you playing at? Xenia wondered as she stared at Mason, searching for any signs of deception. But all she found was a raw mixture of lust and determination.“You can’t be serious,” she scoffed, hoping her laugh would push him back. But instead, Mason smiled, a slow, predatory grin that sent heat pooling low in her stomach.“I think you know me well enough to realize I’m very serious,”he replied, his gaze flickering down to her lips, making his intentions crystal clear. “You realize every time we’ve kissed it was Rodin who was in control. I can’t help but feel a bit…”“...jealous,” Xenia replied.“...left out,” he finished, his eyes darkening as he moved closer, closing the gap between them. She felt her pulse quicken, her body betraying her mind. His nearness was intoxicating, and that made her furious.
