Bree peeked from behind the tree trunk, her heart racing. She had never shot at anyone before, so she felt nervous. But it was just a deer looking for a snack, so she ignored it and expelled the breath she held.

She had been so preoccupied with the deer it was too late by the time she heard the heavy breathing of a wolf behind her. He was in midair when she noticed, and there was no time to move.

The wolf was poised above her, and in a second, it had pinned her to the ground. Bree pulled the trigger, sending a bullet through the enormous wolf, but he was unfazed.

He had her shoulders pinned, but her hands were free, so Bree grabbed his balls and squeezed hard, rendering him useless as he yelped in pain and shifted into his human form.

‘Bree, the path to town is towards the west. I’ll go to the east to lure them away. Let me know if someone is following you.’

‘I will. Keep safe, Bran.’

‘Remember, they don’t want to kill us. They want to capture us. Otherwise, I would have been dead a

Horrible wolves. Let Serena eat them alive.

    Grayson was mad that Brianna had outsmarted him, locking him in the cage until Aiden found him the next day.It had been humiliating, and he knew he’d never hear the end from his younger brother, but as they entered the forest and he scented Brianna in the wind together with the scent of other unfamiliar wolves, all his anger dissipated and was replaced with worry.He heard from Maggie that several unknown wolves had visited the bar the previous night without announcing their pack affiliation, and left just as fast as they arrived. It was as if they knew the person they were searching for was not at the bar. Their scents had been weak by the time Grayson arrived, so he could not determine if the men had come through the area before.Aiden reported finding an unoccupied SUV along the road leading to the other entrance to the forest, giving Grayson more reason for concern.He had been running around the forest in his wolf form to cover more ground. It was in this form that he got a str

    Grayson scented another wolf in the air as soon as he arrived and figured it was probably Bran’s scent that lingered in the air.There were some similarities to Brianna’s, so he did not pursue it. Instead, he instructed Aiden to track it so he could speak to Brianna alone.When she moved to wear the shirt he handed over, he scented yet another wolf.Immediately, he stuck his nose on her neck, not caring if it seemed inappropriate. The sudden attack surprised Brianna and pushed her back to the ground. Grayson straddled her hips, sniffed her hair, then neck as irritation multiplied by the second.“Who did you lie with?” He growled, anger rumbling in his chest.“What are you talking about?” She asked, clueless.“There’s another man’s scent on your skin.”“That’s probably my brother’s scent.” She stuttered as the lie rolled off her tongue.“You let your brother lick your entire body?”Brianna choked on a sob, remembering the wolf who had his hands and mouth running across her skin.He al

    Brianna could not believe she had been naked the entire time, and Grayson still had his pants on. She thought of getting up, conscious of where they were, but he pushed her back down, his lips following the path he used earlier to get back up to her breasts, sucking the globes into his mouth, awakening the passion he already started. Brianna could not sit quietly still. She wanted more of what Grayson offered. Bree wanted to roam her hands and feel his naked body under her fingertips and make him feel the same pleasure she did.Slipping her hand into his pants made Grayson gasp, so she felt encouraged to continue. His cock was hard as a police baton, yet the skin around it felt soft and silky, making her want to put the thing in her mouth and suck it like an ice pop.Grayson kissed her hand and stood on the side to discard his pants. He had gone commando underneath for easy shifting, so his cock sprung up as he unclasped the buttons on his jeans.He was built like a Greek god. Perfec

    “My brother is here with our pack members,” he explained seconds before a group of men of varying ages burst out of the bushes, all half-clothed.“There’s nobody else around,” Aiden reported. “…just you and your mate. Congratulations, brother. You’ll be the first. The pack will be delighted.”Grayson pulled Brianna up, her legs still feeling wobbly. The sudden motion of getting up made her woozy. She had to grab onto Grayson’s waist to keep upright. “I’m here,” he said, wrapping his arms protectively around her.“And her brother?” He asked, while kissing the top of her head. Brianna stared in the far-off distance. In her preoccupation with Grayson, she had forgotten about Brandon and whatever had happened the previous night. Realizing her error in judgment made her feel like a horrible sister. She had awoken oblivious of her surroundings and one look at Grayson and she jumped into his bed... forest. It was not important. What’s important is that Bran was still out there. Hopefully,

    “How can you hear me?”“It’s an ability that pack members and mates have with each other since we are now connected.”“Did the entire pack hear me, too?”“No, just me, unless your abilities enable you to speak to people in their minds.”She shook her head. Bree retracted the search for Bran to prevent her from accidentally divulging their secret.She wondered if there was a range to her abilities, or was the mind-speak like her connection to Bran where she could push it further?“It’s so loud. Do you hear all these sounds all the time?”“Loud? It should just be you and me on the channel. Do you hear the other pack members, too?”“No, but I hear murmurs.” Brianna paused to listen. She could definitely hear the rest of the pack talking about her and teasing each other, but she did not think her findings should be shared with Grayson right away. They had sex and all, but she knew nothing about the guy. What if he seduced her to keep her in control?So, until she completely trusted Grays

    Using energy to block communication from the rest of the pack and learning to filter the opinions she shared with Grayson took a toll on Brianna. As soon as her head hit the back of the car seat, she dozed off immediately.Grayson tried to rouse her several times, but she was sleeping too deeply, so he had to carry her upstairs to the spare bedroom to get her energy back. Brianna woke up, momentarily oblivious to her surroundings. The last thing she remembered was running out of the cave with Bran and encountering the alpha who tried to rape her and the three wolves who had ganged up on Bran.She was snug under the covers and the heavy comforter paired with the heavy woodwork on the bed frame gave her an idea that she was in Grayson’s house. The air blew in through the window, and Brianna shuddered at the eerie sensation she felt when the cold air touched her skin.‘Bran, I hope you’re safe. I’ll come find you.’ She pushed the thoughts into the darkness as she looked out the window,

    Brianna lifted her eyes with suspicion. They both knew Grayson took the diary because he wanted to read what was inside, but since he said nothing untruthful, there was no lie in his statement.“Are you the one my brother spoke of on the last page? Were your pack members hunting him down because we did not belong to any pack?”“I saw that entry, and I asked everyone, but no one had been in the forest the last few weeks.”Brianna held his gaze. So she was correct that he wanted to read the diary.“Aside from the abandoned car they found a few miles from the forest entrance a few days ago when you disappeared, there was no record of wolves visiting from other packs, either. But then again, it’s a big forest and several trails connect from Mexico to Canada, so they could have come from anywhere.”Brianna nodded. “I see.”“Did you like the bedroom? Were you comfortable enough?” He asked, changing the topic.“I haven’t seen much, but it’s lovely. Thanks for letting taking me in. I want to

    “You can’t let thoughts like that leak out and expect me to do nothing about it.”“I can’t stop it. You make me lose focus.” She looked away shyly, licking her lips unconsciously.“I feel the same way about you, but I don’t want to hear that you’re out of control when you make love with me.” Bree looked up, pursed her lips, and nodded.“I want to know that you feel every kiss.” He lifted the left hand he held and brought it to his lips, giving it a light kiss.Bree held her breath when his mouth continued to up her arm. She never knew the crook of her elbow was an erogenous zone until Grayson licked it.Brianna sighed. Her legs felt like they’ve turned to jelly, she had to lean on the counter to steady herself. The oversized shirt she wore hitched up her thigh, and Grayson’s temperature shot another degree.The pastel pink shirt made her look like a giant cotton candy ready to be eaten.“Gray…” Bree touched his hair to stop what he was doing, but the soft texture distracted her.“I l

    I got up, yet my body remained on the bed. Am I still dreaming?I walked through the house and checked through the rooms, yet everyone else was asleep and nobody even felt that I was there.Downstairs, I heard some sound originating from the kitchen, so I went to investigate. A shadow opened the oven door and took out several biscuits that were still warming on the tray. I hid behind a post, afraid that the oven light would give away my position, but when the person passed by the island and grabbed a few chocolate chip cookies, I knew they were oblivious to my presence.Why would someone steal from the ranch kitchen when Amelia welcomed anyone who wanted to come over and eat? Curious about the person’s motive and identity, I followed the robber and was surprised the person led me to the barn. Keeping a safe distance, I followed several steps away and saw the person go up the stairs to the hayloft. There were no lights around, so I wondered how the person could see in the dark.Are

    “Brandon has burn marks on his back and they looks fresh.”“What? Where?” Bree tried to pull the blanket covering Bran’s body to see the evidence herself, but Grayson used his feet to sweep her aside.“You know that your brother is naked under the sheets. Do you think he’ll be happy to know that you saw him without his clothes?”“I’ve seen him naked plenty of times.”“Brianna,” Grayson scolded, and for a brief moment she had a reason to smile. “I didn’t see any fire at the site. Where did he get the burn marks?”“Must be a cattle prod, alpha. We found one lying around a few feet away from the site. They tried to hide it, but we were better.” Someone from the back replied.“Bring it to the kitchen. We can locate which ranch it came from.”Gray headed to Brandon’s room as Bree followed behind with worry.“Who would do this? Do you think Seth’s grandpa had found out what happened and sent someone for retaliation?” She asked, eager to know what happened and if they needed to be cautious.

    Bran had never been smooth with the ladies, but he never knew anyone who would knee him in the groin without provocation. He just asked for her name. Was that not allowed in society anymore?After recovering from his pain, Bran limped back to the ranch, spending time with the cows forgotten. He figured having a scraggly beard and mustache did not make him appealing to anyone. He probably looked like a hermit, foraging in the woods.‘Not ugly,’ a voice whispered.“Hello!” He called out behind him, wondering where the voice came from.A sharp pain stabbed Bran between his eyes, radiating to the back of his head. The intensity of his headache made him double over and fall onto the leaf-strewn forest floor.‘Bree!’ He called out before hitting the ground.At the ranch, Brianna was busy exchanging stories with Amelia when she heard Bran through their link. Eyes glazing over, she tried to pinpoint his location and failed. Without saying anything, she ran upstairs, only to find his room emp

    It had been several days later when Bran finally woke up, and even though he tried to recount the events of what happened in his head, Bran could recall nothing.Two months, he had lost two months from his memories and he wondered if he was missing anything else aside from what Brianna had already told him.He was walking in the pasture, heading for the cows grazing the field, when a scent tickled his nose. The sweet intoxicating aroma of newly baked butter cookies teased his senses and he couldn’t help but follow.“Wait! Who are you?” Bran called out as he caught up to the person weaving between the trees, obviously trying to avoid detection.He was surprised to find a woman clothed in black, her hair tucked under a black beanie.“I don’t want trouble. I just wanted to see how you were doing.” “I’m okay. My memory is a little rusty, but everything will return soon enough.” Marina heard about his amnesia, and she wondered if he knew who she was. They were never officially introduced,

    Baked bread, grilled meat, and fried bacon teased the senses as Brandon regained consciousness. A warm, soft hand pressed against his forehead before brushing the hair away from his face.“You’re going to be okay,” an old woman’s voice tickled his ears. Stirring him from slumber.“Nana? I’m sorry…I failed you.”The cushion by Bran’s hip dipped low. “No, you didn’t. You did good. Brianna, Grayson, and the rest of the pack are safe because of you.”Bran struggled to open his eyes, it had been only hours since he had been rescued and his werewolf blood was supposed to wipe out the toxins from his body easily, but the people who captured them dumped too much of the concoction into his body that it would take several more hours to be completely gone.“Do you know you were able to mask every pack member’s presence as they waited outside for their chance to attack?”“What?”“The pack members who were present said the forest appeared like something from a horror movie. Everything was inky bla

    Grayson and their group looked out of place. Muscled men coming out of several sports utility vehicles in a hiking area in the middle of the woods didn’t look like a friendly hiking expedition.The sunlight was fading fast in the mountains, and the pack knew the darkness would help camouflage their identities when they shifted. They can’t have reports of multiple untagged and undocumented wolves running around the park when it wasn’t necessary. It could give away their entire existence.But time is of the essence. Seth had intentions of severing the mating bond between Grayson and Brianna. They figured Seth wouldn’t dare kill her, but he could always take her against her will, and that could damage her confidence and reject her bond with Grayson because of her mental state.Not having the exact location for the turnoff marker and the cabin could be troublesome, but they had to do everything for Brianna, or he would never forgive himself.‘Grayson, where are you?’ He almost toppled o

    Every wolf hoped to have a mate fated for them to love until the end of time. And when this event happens, nobody could intercede, unless one of the couple decides to reject the bond.“I have a fated mate,” Victor replied, challenging James’ statement.James sneered. “Brianna rejected your bond and has mated with Seth, my most promising alpha, and he deserves it.” Grayson remained impassive. “Our bond goes beyond the physical. I would have felt if it had been severed.”“Which only means there is no such thing.” James sneered.“Just because it never happened to you, it doesn’t mean it’s not true. Do you want to remain obstinate by keeping the twins?” Victor inquired.“Leave one of them to show good faith.”“No! The twins are better off together.” Victor replied.“What are you talking about? Never in wolf history did anyone have twins because they often eliminate each other in the womb. So these two will eventually kill each other, whether you like it or not. Why not separate them now

    “Grandpa, what are you doing here?” Grayson was holding a meeting with the Silvercreek pack elders, which included the werewolves, all the magical individuals, and other shape-shifting creatures that called Silvercreek their home. “I know you are the alpha of this pack, grandson, but it’s not frowned upon to ask for help from your elders when you are in a bind.” All the elders gathered around the table nodded. Earlier, most of the group had expressed that Grayson should have asked them for help before meeting with Seth in the clearing, so the kidnapping could have been avoided. “Attacking another pack should be the last option.” Victor Walker, the pack’s retired alpha, had flown on the red eye from Florida when he learned about the abduction. He wanted to get there first thing the next morning to scold Grayson for not coming prepared.“I am sorry. I know I should have consulted you sooner, but I thought we had it under control.”“How could you let a woman string you along and lead

    Something felt wrong, but Bree couldn’t stop from sighing and leaning into the lips that were kissing her neck. She felt a soft hand caress her hip down to her thighs, and she moaned.It had only been a day since she last saw Grayson, but there was a hunger inside her whenever they came together. Would it always be like this?She had never been with a man so generous with his affections before. There was no guessing about his feelings when Grayson was concerned. Bree could always tell what he was thinking, even without probing his mind. And that was usually sex when she was concerned.Bree was glad to be back in Grayson’s arms, in her home, with nobody to hear her moan and pant when he gave her pleasure.She was going through all the motions of seduction, but why could she see Brandon in the corner of her eye?‘Get out of here, you pervert.’ She hissed, scolding her brother through their link.‘That’s not Grayson, Bree.
