Jane lifted the lid, and a cornucopia of smells filled Xenia's nose. She looked down at the plate of meats and veggies piled up and could feel herself salivating. She would've dug in, but the thought of Barrick poisoning her flashed in her mind.

What if he did something to the food? She wondered, looking at Mason.

"Eat," Mason ordered. "You're going to need your strength if you're going to continue to try to escape."

She could see a faint smile on his face. Yeah, he definitely did something to it. She made a big show of pushing the plate away from her. Almost causing it to fall off the table. Jane rushed over to push the plate back to the middle before stepping back. Mason sighed.

"Xenia-"

"Don't," Xenia snapped at him. "Don't say my name like we're friends. You don't know me."

Xenia turned away from him, and soon after, she could hear him moving toward her. Yes, come closer, you bastard!

"You're right. I do not know you, but I could hear your hunger even from miles away."

    The moment the door closed, Xenia fell to the floor, a bit shaken. She took measured breaths to try to stop her body from trembling. She zoned out thinking about her situation until she felt a hand on her shoulder. She jumped, pulling her fist back, ready to pounce, when she realized it was Jane. The girl looked as white as a ghost, cowering away from Xenia. A momentary flash of guilt came across Xenia's face. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Luna," Jane shrieked. "I brought fresh food and water." Xenia didn't realize she had so much tension in her body, especially when he was around. Still, she didn't eat the food. Instead, she walked over to the bench and looked out the window. Her body felt hot, and the coldness of the pane was soothing. She waited a moment before addressing Jane. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to jump at you," Xenia said, walking over to the table. Jane gave her a small smile as Xenia looked at the food. She slowly started to eat, hoping that it was poison. That would be bett

  • Fearless Human Mate   The Sisters

    Mason sat in a dark cave surrounded by lit candles. He has been here for hours trying to contact the Three Sisters. The room was moist from the spring running through the cave into a small waterfall leading outside. He took a knife to his palm, dropping his blood over the crystal inside the circle as he chanted. A moment later, the fire from the candle simmered down, and the only light came from the cave's entrance. Then suddenly, the flame from the candle exploded with dark shadows billowing around like a dance. Mason barely moved or showed any reaction to the display. "Ah, little Alpha Mason." "How sweet of you to call." "Missing us already." The shadow changed its appearance with each voice looming over him. He rolled his eyes, wanting this conversation to be over already. He didn't have time for pleasantries, nor did he like witches. They were…unreliable. Only a few weeks away from the Blue Moon, and he couldn't afford any distractions. "Aww…you didn't like our light displ

  • Fearless Human Mate   Impossible Task

    Mason left the cave feeling irritated as thoughts of Xenia flashed in his mind. He remembered finding her lying across the floor the other day as if she had decided to nap there. Then he saw the box glowing on the table and wondered if she had done something to it. He stared at her for a moment. She looked so peaceful, with her hair framing her face.He picked her up and laid her back in bed. He pushed her hair out of her face and caressed a hand down to her cheek. She sighed and leaned into his hand. The pull of the bond was clouding his mind, making him want to lie beside her and hold her. But he had to quickly pull away before Rodin got any ideas.Now, the Sisters wanted him to mark her, which only meant their bond would become stronger and controlling Rodin would become more challenging. He sighed as he walked up the steps through the door leading to the packhouse from the caverns. He made sure it was locked before walking into his office. Not a moment after sitting down, his offi

    Xenia opened her eyes and immediately tensed up when she felt a presence near her. She thought she saw him staring down at her, so she quickly sat up in bed, and the image disappeared. But, unfortunately, it did scare poor Jane, who was standing at her bedside. "Sorry, Luna. I was only trying to wake you." She walked to the front of the bed with her head hung low while Xenia climbed out. "I brought these clothes for you to wear. We are still working on getting some that fit better but-" A knock on the door interrupted Jane as she walked over to it and opened it. Xenia walked around the bed to see who she was talking to. Someone whispered something before Jane opened the door to let them in. "Luna." The woman bowed slightly before flocking over to Xenia with a tape measure. She quickly measured her before Xenia could get a word out. She wrote down everything in a little book before turning Xenia around to size her up. She stepped back to give Xenia one more look. "Hmm, more fabric,

  • Fearless Human Mate   The Need to Leave

    Xenia remembered Lottie telling her about her mate, Spencer. There was something between them she couldn't explain, but she knew she wanted to be with him. Xenia thought it was love at first sight, but maybe it was this bond. It would explain the connection she had with Mason on their first encounter. How he takes over her mind when he enters a room, how her skin feels when he touches her, and the intensity in his eyes like he wants to… "No," Xenia yelled. "I'm not his mate!" She didn't care that all the women looked at her with shocked expressions. "And I'm not staying here to become one either." The women looked at each other before laughing, which made Xenia angry, ruining a few eggs. Lacey grabbed Xenia's chin and angled it at a diagonal. "Well, I don't see a mark, so that's good news. For now." "Mark? I don't understand." "Humans," Lacey said, rolling her eyes. "When a werewolf finds their mate, they mark them right here," Lacey said, touching her neck. "It's to let others k

    The next few days were the same routine for Xenia. She would wake up and work with the girls in the kitchen. They were talkative, and every day she would learn something new about them. However, they were still cautious about telling her where they were exactly. While helping the girls clean the tables after breakfast, Xenia noticed Mason's seat was empty the entire time. She looked around to see if she could find him. Instead, she saw Lillian walking her way and didn't have time to turn away. "Looking for someone in particular?" Xenia didn't respond and moved away, but Lillian grabbed her arm and pulled her close. She could feel Lillian's breath on her ear as Lillian whispered, "Remember what I told you, little cockroach." "Leave it up to you to not let me forget," Xenia muttered while yanking her arm away from Lillian. The two women stood a few feet apart, face to face, neither wanting to back down. The smile on Lillian's face made Xenia feel uneasy. There was no way she

    It took her a moment to look at Lacey, whose smiling face was only a few inches away from hers. Lacey's mouth was moving, but Xenia wasn't paying attention. The only thing Xenia could picture was Mason forcing himself on her. Would he drug me like Barrick so I wouldn't fight? She wondered before another thought even worse than that came to her. Would he…OH GOD…would he shift? "I think you broke her," Lacey said to Frieda, trying to shake Xenia out of her mini coma. "Hey, girl. Did we break you or something?" "I…I have to get out of here," Xenia managed to say through her shaky breath. "Hey, hey, hey. It's gonna be okay," Lacey laughed a bit. "We're just kidding." Xenia looked at her again, searching her eyes for the truth. "Right?" Lacey looked at the other girls, who smiled and nodded. "I didn't mean to scare ya white, hon," Frieda said while laying a comforting hand on Xenia's shoulder. "Sex can be scary for the first time." "Frieda!" Celia playfully tapped Frieda on the

    So is this what I am looking forward to? Xenia wondered. She didn't have an answer to that either, but she wasn't planning on staying long enough to find out. She had to get out, and she had to do it now. Later that day, Xenia was sitting in her room, lost in thought, until someone touched her arm. It was Celia who offered her a warm smile. Apparently, she was taking over for Jane, who had something more important to do. "Don't think too much about Lillian's threats. I don't think she would do anything to hurt you. Not while the Alpha is here, at least." Celia gave Xenia a slight squeeze on her arm. She started to leave when Xenia stopped her. "Hey, about before, I'm sorry if I brought up bad memories for you two." "Oh, it's no trouble, Luna. I learned to live in the present and let the past be the past." "Has an incident like that happened before?" Celia's eyes went wide before she returned them to the floor. "I'm sorry, Luna. I…I don't think I should talk about that anym

  • Fearless Human Mate   Silent Anger and Dark Shadows

    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

    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

    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

  • Fearless Human Mate   The Edge of Control

    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. She tried to fight the rush of heat flooding her, swallowing hard as she placed a hand
