Grace Charles sighed, running a hand through his hair. "We're still gathering information, but the timing can't be a coincidence." "Where's Thorne?" I asked. He smiled and checked his phone to see. "On his way to the airport." "You have a tracker on the liaison?" Eason asked, grinning. "Grac
Edgar snarled. "But Alpha," he stammered, "the President--" "The President," I interrupted, my voice leaving no room for argument, "is not a medical professional as far I know. I don't give tours of my lab." I smiled. "You're welcome to have a walk around Mooncrest... with Mooncrest Police and a
Grace A few hours later, a knock on the door of my office startled me out of my self-imposed stupor. Pushing aside the lingering unease about Sean, I forced a welcoming smile and welcomed him into the office. Magnus entered. His face was bandaged, but he looked find, but he wasn't alone. Beside hi
"I know," I admitted, "but think about the potential. We can gain a foothold in a key location and disrupt Fenris' operations. Sean already threatened me... I'm pissed." I glanced at Gareth. "And apparently, they're holding Gareth Fox's wife, Olivia hostage." "... Gareth Fox?" He asked. "Descended
Grace Eason made an interface for me that showed exactly how close I was to fulfilling all the requirements, when I had it released to the pack's website, the rolling social media attention did more to help me than anything. Gareth, Magnus, Amelia, and I shook hands and made the announcements. The
She... She wanted to dance with Devin. "One more surprise for the night," he said. "After dinner." We ate dinner. It was everything Cecil loved. She was so excited, clutching her new wolf cub stuffie. She was half asleep when Charles carried her up the stairs to a suite. It looked like something
Grace The next morning, Charles was adorned in his ceremonial robes. We ate breakfast in the garden with Cecil. Charles led her around the gardens and then he sent her off to play with the attendants. Then, he led me to the grand hall of the Blackwoods Castle. The air buzzed with an electric tensi
"--And in the name of blood and fidelity and bonds broken, I severe the bond between us and submit to the Goddess' will." The air shook. A bright flash of light filled the air. Devin let out a blood-curdling scream. The Greenvalley Elder blanched. Devin was wrapped in a bright red light, swayed on
I nodded. "Don't let me trip." "I'll do my best." With a shared laugh, we headed out the door. Esme was there at the door, hanging back. Gracian stepped away from me and linked arms with her. "We'll see you soon." I nodded and watched them go. We stood in the foyer of the building. From wh
Grace A month later... After the attack, the remaining members retreated into the cabinet to figure out what to do. After all, the other half and the president had been killed in the attack because they attacked Mooncrest. Luckily, Astarte had simply fixed everything, and aside from the aches an
Fire spilled over the doors as we fought our way down the stairs. Something swiped my cheek, but I didn't heed it. We stumbled over the bodies and slipped in the blood. I tried not to think about how many people I'd killed. I didn't want to think about it. "Back up is coming, but we need time, "
Grace I heard dying screams as I ran. The sound of battle echoed down the hallway. I found Astarte holding a group of attackers off at the door of the other stairs. "There was no way off." Astarte snarled. "Your mother's office! Lock the door." "What about--" "Go!" I bit my lip and ran
"A good PR move comes with a splash of fun." Astarted nodded forward. "I believe you should get to your command room, yes?" I nodded and headed upstairs to my father's office, adrenaline pumping through my veins. An attack, contained or not, was a serious threat. The city needed to be locked dow
Grace As we boarded the crowded bus, a knot of unease tightened in my gut. Astarte made a show of being intrigued. She smiled for every photo and seemed genuinely delighted, all the while, she explained her plan. I promised to help you. PR is important. Having me here will get you attention beyo
"Thanks." "Really well," Xavier said, setting his laptop on the table. On one side was a report on my interview, a headline streamed across the bottom. "Alpha Wolfe: A Beacon of Hope in Dark Times." Below it, a graph charted a dramatic rise in public approval for both myself and Wolfe Medica
Grace A nervous flutter danced in my stomach as I smoothed out the wrinkles on my blazer. I'd rather be orienting all the students, including the bright-eyed Westridge students, but Xavier and Amira swore up and down that this was for the best. Charles leaned into my office and grinned. "Nervous
I set my phone down and scoffed. When had my alma mater allowed so many idiots since I'd been an undergrad? Their loss. The lycans, humans, and witches had no problem. Seraphina, Margaret and I met everyone who had signed on in the conference room at City Hall. The excitement was palpable as the n
