*****
~ Kelsie ~
Sucking in a shocked breath, I screamed for Cain out loud and through the bond, my voice, piercing and high, penetrating the dark like a laser.
I felt him answer more than heard it. But the first thing I saw was the front door of my house open and my father rush out, wild-eyed, grabbing at the door frame to launch himself out of the house—his eyes going even wider as he caught sight of the animal just feet from me.
“Kelsie! What—”
“Dad, don’t move!” I hissed, throwing my hands up to stop him.
I heard a strange, eerie voice then, that said only two words.<

My Alpha Teacher's Pet 77. No Time to Wait
~ Cain ~The strange wolf tucked its tail and ran.At first, instinct kicked in. I followed it over the fence, gaining an inch with each stride, straining, growling, determined to take this fucker out for threatening my mate—but then Kelsie reached for me through the link, pleading with me not to let myself get hurt, and an uneasy weight settled in my chest.Then, without slowing or turning, the strange wolf scratched at my mind which was such a shock I almost missed a step.I opened a sliver of my mind to him, locking myself down so I wouldn’t reveal even the smallest information about Kelsie or our lives together.‘Why a weak human? You could have been so much more,’

~ Kelsie ~I sucked in a breath and my father’s grip on my elbow tightened. “What is it?” he asked, his voice heavy with dread.“You… I know this is crazy Dad, but I need you to trust me. Cain can talk in my head. He’s coming, and he’s saying that more wolves are coming. You have to leave. Both of you—you have to get out of here. They don’t care about you, as long as you don’t try to stand between them and me—’“Kelsie, we are not leaving you alone to—”“I won’t be alone! Cain is going to protect me—you saw that! You saw what he is! I’m his mate, Mom. I know this is…

~ Cain ~“That’s… that’s not possible,” I breathed, every sense jangling with alarm because I knew I had to leave this place, had to get Kelsie out of here. But what this man was saying… it couldn’t be.Could it?I stared at him, not even breathing, as I tried to get my head around what he was saying. My wolf… my wolf was a part of me. Had always been a part of me. We were… we were the same—weren’t we?But Kelsie’s father turned to look at me, his eyes flickering shadows that I recognized as a strong male wolf’s inner battle when faced with an even stronger male—the desire to dominate battling the urge to submit to a wolf with superior rank.

~ Kelsie ~It was really hard to take it in. Cain and my father went downstairs for some kind of man-to-man that I didn’t think I wanted to be a part of, but it wasn’t going to be long. Cain was really clear that we needed to move as fast as possible—before the pack could send a group of wolves to take me. So Mom stayed to help me find all the little things my brain was too busy to think of, while they went downstairs.Except, even though Mom picked up a few things and threw them in my bag, she did more crying and blowing her nose than helping.“Mom, please… he’s a good man. He’s going to protect me, not hurt me.”“I know that, Kelsie. Probably better than you—your father was the same. I just… we tried to

~ Kelsie (a few minutes earlier) ~I stayed in the hallway with my mother watching my mate and my father walk to the back door, heads turned to each other, their faces serious and protective and…“He’s a good one,” my mom sighed. “I can see it, Kelsie. I should have known you wouldn’t be fooled. I’m sorry.”I wanted to cry. “He is a good one. The best. He’s just like Dad, except for the wolf part.”My mother gave a little huff of laughter, wiping her eyes. “Oh, I think they’re more alike than you think,” she said, then cut me a sly look from the side. “There’s more than one advantage to having a male of the wolf variety. And… you know, the human part of that isn’t lost even if they give up their wolves,” she sniggered.

~ Kelsie ~“I know how this looks, but… Kelsie will explain,” Cain said, his voice so low and hard it opened a pit in my stomach. “Nothing has changed. Our plan is the same.” Then he looked directly at my father. “You have to leave. We have to get out of here. We have an hour at best.”“You think I’m going to leave my daughter here to run away with you and… another female?!”Cain’s jaw went tight and he looked at me, his eyes pleading. But he didn’t reach for me through the bond, though I could feel the turmoil raging through him. When he looked back at my father, his jaw was even tighter.“Kelsie will explain,” he repeated. “I ne

~ Cain ~Lauren turned away from me then as guilt and fear rocked through me. Hating myself, I hurried past her to the shelf in the back corner where I’d stashed the two final boxes of her things that I had brought with me, but not unpacked, because I couldn’t stand to look at the things, to smell her on them, but also couldn’t bring myself to throw them away.As she dug through them looking for clothes, I stood over her, looking up the stairs, knowing Kelsie was up in the living room whispering with her parents. They were too far away for me to hear the words, but I could feel her—feel her fear, and how this made her stomach sick, but also the stone-cold steel of her resolve as well.And if anything else had been happening, I would have howled—she was taking her Alpha. Stepping into her power. I could feel it. T

~ Cain ~“My bag is down in the bedroom in the back of the closet. I need you to open it and check the little black satchel that’s at the top. Make sure it has my ID, the wallet with cash and cards, the spare phone, and one of those charger units. If it’s all there, bring it out here. I’m going to talk to Lauren, make sure she understands the boundaries, then we’re getting out of here, okay?”Kelsie nodded quickly. I kissed her softly, then let her go and she darted down the hallway towards the bedroom. I followed her until I reached the open door down to the basement, then after one deep breath, trotted down the stairs to find her now in clean clothes, though they had the stink of storage on them.She seemed to be standing a little steadier, bu

My Alpha Teacher's Pet 100. Forever Yours – Part 3
~ Cain ~The celebration lasted late into the evening. We talked and joked through the afternoon until the bonfires were lit. Then we feasted and danced. And the pack… whatever had happened between all of us was a miracle. Because suddenly, Kelsie could hear all of them clearly, and they could feel her—sense her love, her strength, and her heart.And they were starting to love her as much as I did.Well, almost.For the past hour we had huddled together on a log next to the bonfire, a thick blanket over our legs. But then Kelsie leaned into my ear and whispered, “I need to go to the bathroom. And I’m going to have to put pants on, there is just too m

~ Kelsie ~I’d been giddy all morning. Nervous, but only the kind of anticipation that came with something exciting. Cain and I were already mated, already claimed and marked. So I didn’t expect the ceremony to have any real impact, except to make me and my mother cry.But the moment the wolves closed in around us, it was like the air began to crackle.And then, when Cain started the words, goosebumps trickled down my spine.He swallowed hard, his voice deep and husky—and echoed a second time in the pack link.“See here my will that is bowed to yours,” he started quietly. “I eat my pri

SOUNDTRACK: “Every Part of Me” by BASHAM. ***** ~ Cain ~ Staring at Kelsie as she looked up at her Dad—whose face was a picture of relief and pride—made my heart begin to beat even harder. I didn’t know where she and her mother had found such a gown, but she looked stunning in it. It looked like the entire thing had been knitted—like a thick, luxurious cableknit sweater, yet somehow it hugged every curve of her body from the high turtleneck, all the way down to her hips where it flared and hung in heavy gathers—but when she moved, the fabric clung to her legs beneath the skirt as well, revealing every curve and… I had to clear my throat and remind myself we had an audience as Kelsie reached up to hug her father, and the pack began to gather

SOUNDTRACK: “N E W H E A V E N” by Conquer Divide ***** ~ Cain (three months later) ~ ‘Where are you, beautiful?’ ‘Won’t be long, they’re just finishing my hair.’ ‘Your dad is just about ready to plan a siege of the house if you don’t come out soon.’ ‘Mom will keep him under control, don’t worry,’ she laughed. I wasn’t so sure. I stood at one end of the small clearing near our packhouse, arms folded and my sweater-sleeves pulled up to my forearms because that was how Kelsie liked them. My breath made a cloud in the winter air, b
My Alpha Teacher's Pet 96. The Last Betrayal – Part 3
~ Kelsie ~I was stunned when Felix became human again. Then hope rose in my chest, because he was clearly weak and struggling. Bleeding and panting, staring at Cain and struggling to speak.A little piece of me crumbled. He looked so shaky and broken. I wondered if he would submit and Cain would let him live. I could feel my mate’s conflicting emotions, that he didn’t relish killing his brother. But the betrayal…The fiercest emotion burning in Cain was rage—at the betrayal.I knew this wasn’t easy on him.I swayed closer, wanting to go to him, but knowing I couldn’t intervene while they were still technically fighting.All the wolves stared at them, eyes cold a
My Alpha Teacher's Pet 95. The Last Betrayal – Part 2
~ Cain ~Had I been fighting another wolf who didn’t know me so well, this was the moment to engage, to rush and take their neck high and bear down, flip the dog on his back and close on his throat if he didn’t submit.But Felix would be expecting that. And sure enough, in the blink where he realized there was no danger behind him and returned his full attention to me, he switched—rushing his longer body and heavier weight forward, on the attack, to make me hesitate.I didn’t even think, just let my instincts take over and feinted, first to one side, then the other, waiting for the third switch and praying Felix would instinctively anticipate it.And he did.A howl of victory started in my head as Felix shifted h

~ Cain ~‘Kelsie, get back!’ I screamed in the link as I leaped into my wolf to meet an attack for the second time in a handful of hours.There was a sick pit in my stomach, something that told me I would hate remembering this day. But there wasn’t time to think about it or give in to regret.I had a wolf to kill.I didn’t hesitate.As Felix raised his hackles to make himself look as big—and be as difficult to grip—as possible, I was already flying through the air towards him, ready to take the throat of my own brother.But for the second time in a few hours, time slowed, as if I moved through thick mud and saw ever
My Alpha Teacher's Pet 93. A New Day
~ Cain ~Shaking with the intensity I turned to Lauren. “You hated me that much?”“I never hated you,” she breathed, but she didn’t meet my eyes. “I just… I wanted to have what you had. And… Felix…” she trailed off. I waited, but then my patience snapped.“Felix, what?!” I roared.Many of the wolves flinched, including Lauren, whose head dropped even lower. She clutched her hands in her lap.“Felix admired me. He needed me. He wanted me. You… you didn’t.”“Didn’t need you?” Are you fucking kidding, Lauren?! You were my mate!”
My Alpha Teacher's Pet 92. A Brother's Love
~ Cain ~“Tell me,” I growled, low and hard. “Tell me how that day went down when I ended up betrayed by my mate and my brother.” I seared him with my eyes, let him see and feel my fury.But although he tensed, Felix only sighed.“I had already been… enticed,” he admitted.I felt sick. But Felix went on, relentless.“She’d promised me that she’d raise me. That I would become Alpha over the others, except her. She’d promised me that I would have her all to myself. I just had to make you believe that it was me who was running the whole coup. She didn’t think… she didn’t think she could fool you if you had a chance to actual
