After washing her hair with Fern's help and bathing in the oversized bathtub in the bathroom that was connected to the luxurious room that was now her prison, Stella felt slightly more human than she had when she had first opened her eyes and realized that she was no longer on her pack's lands. Fern had brought her a pair of soft grey sweatpants and a t-shirt, and had helped her to make her way back to the king sized bed as she began to really look around the room for the first time. The room was the furthest thing from a prison in appearance that Stella could imagine, but she knew without a doubt that she was a prisoner there all the same. The bed was huge, with a golden Parisian headboard that arched above the head of the bed, and pale blue silk sheets. The walls were every bit as grand as the bed, which Stella couldn't help but think had been inspired by some European palace like Versaille, with more gold snaking its way up the high walls, and an enormous crystal chandelier domin

Alpha Vos,Attached are the pages of your father's journals that I scanned after you called me last night. It didn't take long to find them once you gave me the months and the years since he was always so meticulous and orderly and since you left his cabinet largely untouched after his death. I had my son help me with the lock because it was giving me a fair bit of trouble, even with the keys that were in your desk. I hope this helps with whatever you and Alpha West are working on. If you need anything else don't hesitate to call. I'll have my cell phone with me day and night.Please be careful.IrisVos hadn't gotten a wink of sleep, half an hour later, when he flipped open the laptop that he had brought with him to check his email. One of the calls he had made, when Luca was calling his mother, was to his personal assistant back home. Iris was an extremely efficient woman who had raised her children and watched her grandchildren grow and begin to find their own mates, and if the

"Look at that, it healed. I'm going to take that as a sign that the Goddess is in your corner today. Welcome to New York, Luna."Dani's eyes flickered open and she tentatively moved her shoulder, flexing it and then rotating it when she didn't immediately feel pain. Maybe it was a sign that the Goddess was blessing their mission. The thought was fleeting, as Dani's lips curved into a frown. It felt more likely that the Moon Goddess had decided to dangle a bit of hope in front of one of her least favored children before she was crushed completely, her life force snuffed out. Or maybe there was no Moon Goddess.Dani nodded towards Michael and Waylon as she pushed herself into a sitting position, brushing the back of her hand across her mouth, and checking for drool. She was surprised that she had managed to fall that deeply asleep with everything that they were about to face looming over them. However the sleep she's stolen on the plane ride seemed to be exactly what her body needed.

"Miss West." Fern ran into the room, out of breath with a light sheen of sweat glistening across her forehead. "Everyone is rushing around getting ready. It's total chaos downstairs. You're brother and another Alpha are on their way at this very moment. Everyone says that he's agreed to marry Miss Harding and he's coming here to finalize the details with our Alpha." "He's what?" Stella felt vaguely nauseous at the news, her fingernails digging into the bedsheets as she stared at the slight girl who had just slipped inside the door and said those horrifying words in such a cheerful voice."He's marrying Lyra. Alpha Harding is happier than I've seen him in all my life. And we need to get you up and dressed for breakfast. We only have fifteen minutes.""My brother has agreed to marry Lyra Harding?" Stella's voice was incredulous. Fern shrugged as she walked to the closet and disappeared inside before emerging with an armful of light and airy dresses that didn't look like anything Ste

Luca stepped off the jet and onto the runway at Newburgh airport, the limo that Harding had sent for them already waiting a few meters away. "I thought we were going to JFK." Vos picked up his bag and rubbed the back of his neck as he stared out at their surroundings, stifling a yawn. "I thought so too." "Your Beta didn't know that Alpha Harding has been staying in the Chateau. What I believe Lyra calls the 'Villa.' He hasn't been to the Penthouse in several months. Not to worry. Your sister is there as well. I'm certain she'll be overjoyed to see you." "Have you seen my sister?" Luca fixed his intimidating gaze on the driver, his question laced with the tone of his command. "No Alpha." The driver replied quickly, dropping his eyes as he opened the door for them before moving towards their luggage. They hadn't brought much with them, so there wasn't much to take. "She has been-" he paused as if searching for the right word- "sedated, for her own good, and so she's been in her bed

Poor Little Andraste." Dani cowered on her knees, her hair falling in dark waves around her shoulders,her long hair the only protection her bent, naked body had left from his penetrating eyes. At the Alpha's harsh tone, her eyes closed and her head bent further forward. The collar around her neck was excruciating. It had been custom made to fit snugly against her skin so there weren't any gaps that offered the delicate burnt area where it rubbed even a moment's relief. The outside of this collar was studded with diamonds, with one large silver hoop dangling from the front. Today the hoop had a chain through it that was locked into a piece of hardware that was bolted on the floor, which prevented her from moving more than a foot from where she had been placed, or from rising above the half kneel that she was now allowed."I heard you spoke to one of my assistants. A boy.""No. Master." She wouldn't lie to save herself. She knew that that was useless. No matter what she did she was

Luca was pacing back and forth across the floor of the enormous room that he was supposed to be spending the night in. Someone would be there to get him in a few minutes to escort him to the dining hall along with Vos and, he hoped, Stella. But all he could think about was the email from Vos with the attachment of those journals that his father had kept all those years ago. If he wasn't certain that he was being watched he would have put his fist through the wall.He had had a bit of time now to come to terms with what had happened to Dani. He'd had less time to accept that it was Harding who had hurt her. But to find out that she had been taken and abused because his father and Harding had recognized their mate connection long before she or he had felt it was almost more than he could bear. He wanted to destroy the world, or at least, to destroy Harding's world.A knock at the door caused him to stop his pacing, turning to face whoever had come to get him. "Enter." He called, tak

They had stopped two miles away from Harding's compound, parked down an overgrown dirt road that Dani remembered seeing years ago the first time she had been brought into the compound. Thankfully it was every bit as deserted as it had been back then and the little group, which had arrived in the two vehicles, was now huddled together around a clipboard a few hundred yards back from the main paved road."The entire compound is surrounded by open grassy areas. I think this is part of Harding's defensive strategy. He can see any enemies coming before they get to him. But there are older parts of the manor that I believe I know even better than he does. And that is how we're going to get in tonight."Dani had been crouched down, staring at the drawing she had made on the clipboard, but now she stood up and stretched her legs, staring north and west in the direction of the compound."There are catacombs underneath the manor. Harding knows about the most obvious part of them because the d
