“What do you mean you want me to move in with you?” Eve asked Arec, pulling away from him.

He smiled at her and repeated, “I want you to move in with me. From what’s been happening to you, I don’t think you are safe living here on your own.”

She stared at him with her mouth hanging open.

Finally, she shut her mouth and shook her head.

“I don’t think so, Arec,” she told him. “What would everyone at work think if we started walking into the office together after I’ve been there for such a short time?”

He frowned and shook his head.

“I don’t care what other people think,” he told her.

“Not even your mother?” Eve asked, looking at him with a raised eyebrow.

“Especially my mother,” he told her.

Eve frowned as she looked at him.

“I don’t know,” she told him. “It’s so sudden.”

He put his finger under her chin and tilted her face toward his.

“Unless I am mistaken, you feel the same way I do,” he said.

She stared into his eyes before nodding.

“I do,” she said. “I’m just sca

    After Eve packed an overnight bag, Arec led her to her car. “I’ll drive,” he said, holding his hand out for her keys. “I’m perfectly capable of driving my own car,” Eve protested. “You were kidnapped and knocked out by something,” Arec said, staring at her with his palm open. “I’m driving.” Eve sighed and put her keys into his hand. “Fine,” she said. “But I’m still protesting.” “I get it,” Arec said, grinning at her. “It’s hard to relinquish control sometimes, but right now, I just want to take care of you.” He reached out to cup her cheek in his hand. She leaned into his touch and closed her eyes, smiling. “Are you sure you have everything?” Arec asked, breaking the spell. Eve lifted her head, opened her eyes, and nodded. “I packed everything I need,” she said. “I can always come back for more.” “Not without me, you can’t,” he told her. “I don’t plan on you coming back here by yourself if I can help it.” Eve shook her head but didn’t say anything more. She got into t

    When they broke apart, Arec looked at her in surprise. “What brought that on?” he asked. “I just wanted to show my thanks for letting me stay here,” she said, stepping back and smiling at him. Grinning at her, he said, “Feel free to thank me often.” She giggled and glanced away from his gaze.“I’ll keep that in mind,” she said. “Sleep well,” he told her. “You, too,” she said before opening the bedroom door. “I’ll see you in the morning unless you need anything during the night,” he told her, standing in place. “Don’t take this the wrong way, but I hope I don’t need to see you until morning,” she told him, grinning at him. He chuckled and said, “No offense taken. I, too, hope not to see you before morning.” They stared at each other for another moment before Eve blinked and said, “I’d better let you get to your room.” He nodded, so she added, “Good night, Arec. I’ll see you in the morning.” “Good night, Eve,” he said. “Have a good night.” She nodded and closed the do

    Eve could feel her face warm, so she set her cup down, smiling. Arec set his tray on the table and sat across from her. Glancing out the window at the scenery, he said, “Sometimes, I think my favorite time of the day is sunrise. Others, I think the sunset is my favorite.” Eve nodded and said, “I know what you mean. Both are special times of the day. At sunrise, you have all the possibilities of a new day. At sunset, you have the day and all of its problems behind you and the promise of another day ahead.” “That’s beautiful,” Arec said, staring at her. She chuckled. “Some days, I’m more philosophical in the morning than others,” she said. After they finished their meal, Arec stacked everything on one tray, saying, “I’ll take these to the kitchen and let you get ready for the day.” “Thanks, Arec,” Eve told him. Once he departed, she closed the door and proceeded to the bathroom to prepare for her workday. She had just given her reflection a nod when she heard another ta

    “Are you…are you firing me?” Eve asked Arec when she could speak. Arec stood so fast that Eve didn’t realize it at first. He walked over to her and grasped her upper arms. “No,” he said in a soft voice. “I’m not firing you. I’m just asking you to take a leave of absence. Fully paid, of course.” “But why?” Eve asked, staring at Arec. “I don’t understand.”Arec glanced toward the office door and said, “I’ll tell you later today when I return home after work. For now, though, go back to my house and stay there. I’ll call for the chauffeur to bring the car around.” “Should I pack up my desk?” Eve asked. Arec shook his head and said, “Just take your purse with you.” “Who’s going to take care of the work while I’m gone?” she asked. Looking away from her, Arec said, “Mother suggested Sabrina take over your duties.” “What?” Eve asked, her mouth dropping open. “Why?” “I’ll explain tonight, Eve,” he told her, looking at her again. “I promise.” Eve looked at Arec and snapped her mou

    When Arec returned, Eve had already dished up the chicken parm and had set the plates on the table. “Perfect timing,” she told him. “Everything’s ready.” He smiled at her and said, “That looks delicious.” “Thanks,” she said. “It’s one of my favorite meals.” “If it tastes as good as it smells, I can see why,” he said, walking to the table. Stopping, he smiled at her and said, “I see you put out a bottle of wine. Are you trying to get me drunk, Miss Rolands?” Giggling, Eve shook her head and said, “I just thought it would go well with the meal.” He picked up the bottle and looked at the label. “I mean, I’m sure it’s not as good as you would have at your house, but I like it,” she told him. “I’m sure it will be delicious,” he told her, opening the bottle and pouring some into each of the glasses. She smiled at him and said, “I hope you like it.” He walked toward the table and pulled a chair out for her. “Thank you,” she said as she sat in it. He moved to the other chai

    When Eve opened her eyes, she blinked a few times in confusion. The ceiling overhead was unfamiliar to her. Turning her head, she realized she was curled up on a bed. She lifted her head and squinted into the darkness, trying to identify anything that would give a clue to her surroundings. She groaned as her head pounded and closed her eyes again. Reaching up, she smoothed her hand over her forehead, then opened her eyes again. “At least I’m not tied up,” she muttered, turning her head to scan the room again. She sat up and groaned, holding her head as the room swam around her. “What the hell happened?” she muttered. She thought back to what she was doing before she woke here. Arec had just left to return to the office. She walked back into the kitchen to do the dishes and heard the knock on her door. Thinking it was Arec and he’d forgotten something, she opened the door with a smile. The smile left her face as she saw an unfamiliar man standing on the other side. Be

    Two weeks flew by as Eve explored Arec’s house while he was at the office. She watched a couple of movies in his in-house theater, swam in the indoor pool, and roamed through the hallways, marveling at how big the house was. However, restlessness began to set in for her toward the end of the second week. She roamed the hallways, not knowing where to go or what to do. She snapped at the servants, and when Arec arrived from work, she kept as close to him as possible. They slept either in her room or his, but they didn’t spend the nights apart. “I love waking up beside you every morning,” Eve told him as they snuggled in bed one morning. He pulled her closer and brushed his lips over her hair. “I do, too,” he said. “So many advantages.” He moved his hand over her hip, causing her to giggle. “I agree,” she said, moving her hand down his back and tilting her head to kiss him. Before they could go any further, someone knocked on Arec’s bedroom door. Groaning, Arec lifted his

    Eve jumped and slammed the refrigerator door shut. She whirled around to see a strange man leaning against the counter, looking at her with a smirk. “Who are you?” she asked with her hand on her racing heart. “I’m Michael,” the man said. “And if I guess right, you’re Eve, the talk of the house.” Eve lifted one eyebrow and crossed her arms over her chest. “How is it you know who I am, but I’ve never heard of you?” she asked. Michael threw his head back and laughed. “I’m not surprised Arec would leave a woman such as yourself a secret to the rest of us,” he said, looking her over. Her eyes narrowed, and she asked, “What does that mean? Who are you again?” “I’m Arec’s brother,” he told her. “Arec sent me over to make sure you were protected.” His smile disappeared as he added, “He told me what’s been happening to you and didn’t want to leave you without protection.” Tilting her head as she looked at him, Eve pressed her lips together before saying, “That makes sense.” “

    Eve waited, holding her breath, as Arec listened to Michael on the other end of the phone. Arec listened, then looked at Eve and nodded. “He found them?” she asked, hurrying to his side. Arec moved the phone away from his mouth and told her, “He has their trail.” Eve put her hand over her mouth as her eyes filled with tears. She hurried to the couch and sat down. As she waited for Arec to finish his conversation with his brother, she leaned forward with her hands clasped so tightly that her fingers turned white. After Arec hung up the phone, he looked at Eve and said, “He’s going to track them and call back when he has more information.”“Do you think it will take long?” she asked, her brows drawn upward in concern. “I’m not sure,” Arec told her, walking to the couch to sit beside her. “Michael is an excellent tracker, so I don’t think he’ll lose their scent.” He reached over to unclasp her hands and held her hands in his. “Linda’s going to be okay,” he told her. “How do

    Eve gasped as Arec made the suggestion that Linda had been abducted. “Do you really think someone took her?” she asked. Arec and Michael sniffed the air before looking at each other and nodding. “What is it?” Eve asked, looking at them. “What do you smell?” She inhaled, then shook her head. “I don’t smell anything,” she said. “That’s because your senses are dulled when you’re not in your wolf form,” Arec told her. “Whereas we can still access our Lycan senses when we’re not in that form,” Michael said. “So, what are you smelling?” she asked. Arec and Michael glanced at each other again before Arec said, “We smell Craig.” “What?” Eve cried. “You think he has Linda?” Arec looked at Michael before nodding. “His stench is all over Linda’s car,” he said. Eve ground her teeth, and her hands balled into fists. Her eyes narrowed as she sniffed the air. She shook her head before she said, “I can’t smell anything, but I will find him and make him give Linda back!” “You

    “So, how was your day with Linda?” Arec asked when Eve returned to the house, carrying her purchases inside. “It was nice to see her again,” Eve told him, smiling as she set the bags down. “You look like you had a good time,” he told her, grinning and nodding toward her shopping bags. Her smile widened into a grin as she waved toward the bags. “I think we bought out the entire shopping area,” she said. “At least, it felt like it.” Arec smiled and shook his head. “Should I even check the bank account?” he asked. Giggling, Eve shook her head and said, “It’s probably best that you don’t.” “Then, I won’t,” he said before picking up some of the bags in his left hand while holding out his right arm for her to grasp. She picked up the rest of the bags and slid her arm through his. They walked out of the living room toward the staircase. When they reached her room, she dropped her bags and dug her phone out of her purse. “Let me text Linda and tell her I made it home safe,”

    Linda craned her head to follow Eve’s gaze and gasped. “That sure does look like Craig,” she said. “What is he doing here?” Eve scowled and took her napkin off her lap as she stood. “I don’t know, but I’m going to go out there and find out,” she said. Linda put her hand on Eve’s arm, stopping her friend. “Are you sure that’s wise?” she asked. “How well do you actually know that man? What if he’s dangerous?” Eve glared at him through the window and balled her hands into fists while she said, “He’ll find out who’s more dangerous when I go out there and confront him.” Linda frowned at her friend, then released her arm. Eve glanced at her friend and told her, “I’ll be right back.” Linda nodded and watched Eve leave the cafe. Eve marched out of the cafe, glaring at Craig, who leaned against a light post with his hands in his pockets. He spotted her and stood up. Linda continued to watch the scene as it played out. Eve marched out of the cafe, her eyes trained on Craig, who co

    “Where?” Eve asked. “Where is Craig?” Linda pointed to a man standing on the other side of the pond. When Eve looked at him, he grinned at her and walked away. “That sure looked like Craig,” Eve said, staring at his retreating back. “I wonder why he was out there.” “I wonder why he didn’t come in and say hi,” Linda said, frowning. “Maybe he knows about Arec and didn’t feel comfortable talking to us,” Eve said, turning to look at her friend. She chewed on her thumbnail as she looked back out the window toward where Linda said Craig had been. Linda leaned forward and grinned at Eve. “So, how are things going with Mr. Right?” she asked. Eve turned to look at Linda and smiled. “We’re doing good,” she said. “You must be,” Linda said. “I haven’t seen or heard much from you lately!” Eve’s face fell, and she said, “I’m sorry about ignoring you lately, Linda. I didn’t mean to shut you out.” Linda reached across the table to pat her friend’s hand and said, “Don’t worry about

    Eve’s phone rang, startling her from her thoughts. Looking at the screen, she smiled before she answered it. “Hey, girl,” she greeted Linda. “How have you been?” “Long time, no talk,” her friend said. “I’ve been good. How about you?” Eve paused as she thought about the events since she’d last spoken to her friend before saying, “I’ve been good. What’s new?” “Just the same old, same old,” Linda said. “Still single and trying to mingle to find that special someone. Speaking of a special someone, how’s your man doing?” Eve felt her face warming as she smiled and said, “He’s doing good. We’re doing good.” “I haven’t seen you in a bit, so I wanted to give you a call,” Linda said. “I figured you’d been spending time with your man and forgot all about me.” Eve shook her head and said, “I could never forget about you.” “Glad to hear that,” Linda said with a chuckle. “So, what’s new with you?” Eve asked. “Found anyone who has stolen your heart yet?” Linda chuckled and said, “Not

    Eve’s mouth dropped open at Arec’s announcement. “Fight you?” she asked when she found her voice. “Are you serious?” Arec nodded and said, “Of course I am. I’m the best option you have.” He held up his fingers as he counted the ways. “I’m your mate, so I’m not going to hurt you,” he said. “I know you better than Michael, so I should be able to anticipate what actions you’re going to take. Also, if you injure me, I won’t react like Michael would.” Turning to his brother, he shrugged and said, “No offense, Michael.” Michael shook his head and changed back into his human form. “None taken,” he said before asking, “Do you think it’s wise to do this, Arec?” “I would rather be the one to train her so that I can take the blame if any information gets out to the werewolves,” he said. “Plus, she’s my mate, so I don’t think she’ll tell them anything if it’s me she’s fighting.” “He makes a good point,” Bella said, tilting her head and pursing her lips as she studied them. “I don’t thin

    “Is this really necessary?” Eve asked Arec, looking at Michael in his Lycan form on the other side of the gym. Arec looked at his brother, patiently waiting for Eve to finish warming up, and nodded. “You need to know how a Lycan fights so you can be prepared for what Sabrina may come at you with,” he said. “Michael won’t go full Lycan on me, though, will he?” she asked, still staring at him. “He will be full Lycan, but he won’t be using his full strength,” Arec told her. “He wants to teach you how to fight a Lycan, but he doesn’t want to hurt you while doing so. You won’t be able to fight a Lycan until you transform again during the next full moon.” Eve nodded, not taking her eyes off Michael, who noticed her staring and winked at her, his tongue lolling out of his mouth. She started, blinking her eyes rapidly. “Are you ready to begin?” Arec asked her, frowning. “Or do you want me to give you a few pointers first?” Eve tore her eyes from Michael to look at him. “You’d do

    “What?!” Arec roared. “What do you mean this challenge is to the death?”“That’s how we settle things these days, bro,” Samuel said, smirking at Arec. “You’d know this if you attended more Pack meetings.”Arec looked at Michael and asked, “Were you aware of this?” Michael looked at his mother and said, “I had a suspicion that Mother might still follow the old ways when it came to this.” “What old ways?” Eve asked. Arec glared at his mother before turning to Eve and saying, “In the old days, Pack law was settled by a fight to the death, but these days, I thought we’d become more civilized.” Looking back to his mother, he added, “It seems that I was wrong.” His mother pursed her lips and looked away. “Too bad for your girlfriend,” Sabrina said, bearing her teeth in a grin directed at Eve. “Now, wait just a minute,” Arec said, starting to stand. Eve put her hand on his arm. He looked at her before sitting back down in his seat. “I’ve got this,” she told him, staring at Sabri
