Holly WeenI want to thank everyone for their patience in waiting so long for this episode. I had the perfect storm of having to work overtime at my day job, starting school, and getting sick which prevented me from finishing this before now. I'm hoping to be able to post a new episode every two weeks, if not sooner, since work has slowed enough for me to work on my writing. Thank you for sticking with me!

Arec led Eve up the stairs to the kitchen, where Michael and Bella waited. Eve growled when she saw them, and Arec patted her head. “It’s okay, Eve,” he said. “It’s just my sister and brother. You know them.” Eve pressed against Arec’s leg but continued to growl at Michael and Bella. Arec looked at his siblings and said, “I’ll be right back.” Michael and Bella nodded in unison as they stared at Arec, who led Eve out of the kitchen. “We’ll see how you do in my room,” he told her as they mounted the stairs. “I’m hoping that you won’t tear it apart while I’m gone.” Eve just panted as she loped up the stairs beside him. She sniffed the air as they neared his room and ran to his door, scratching to get in. “I can tell you know which one is mine,” he said as he opened the door for her. She bounded inside, smelling everything as she explored the room. Arec grinned at her before shaking his head. “I’ll be back in a few,” he said. “Make yourself comfortable, and try not to des

Arec listened for any sign that Eve was rampaging as he walked to his room, but the hallway was silent except for his footsteps. He paused when he reached his door, listening for any sign of Eve inside. He heard a faint noise, then a scratching at the door. A faint whine from Eve on the other side of the door brought a smile to his lips, and he whispered, “I’ll be right in.” He opened the door and stepped into the bedroom. Eve leaped at him, licking his face. He laughed as he put his arms around her. “I missed you, too,” he said, nuzzling her fur. He glanced toward the window and added, “It’s almost moonset. I hope you’re ready to change back into your regular form.” She yipped, causing him to laugh. “I hope it’s not painful for you,” he said, walking toward the bed. Eve followed him and jumped on the bed. He sat beside her and leaned against the headboard. She rested her head against his stomach as he rubbed her ears. They remained that way until Eve shifted and whined.

At the sound of Eve’s voice, the man on the other side of the room looked up. “Eve? Is that you?” he asked in a scratchy voice. Eve started toward him, but Arec touched her arm, causing her to stop and look at him with raised eyebrows. Arec shook his head and stepped in front of her. “Why did you turn Eve?” he asked, glaring at the other man. Craig turned his focus from Eve to Arec. His expression soured, and he snarled at Arec. “You!” he said, struggling to his feet. “Why couldn’t you have just left well enough alone? Why did you have to get in between us?” Arec snarled back at him and said, “You shouldn’t have changed her!” Craig sneered at him and said, “You should have minded your own business!” “Eve is my business!” Arec growled. Eve stepped in front of Arec, putting her hand on his chest. “Stop it,” she said, looking at Arec before turning toward Craig. Stepping toward him, she asked, “Why did you turn me, Craig?” “Because we’re meant to be together,” he said

“What?” Arec asked, hurrying toward Eve and taking the paper out of her hand. He scanned it and looked at Michael. “Mother has issued an official invitation to Eve to come to the family compound,” he said, holding the paper up. Michael walked to his brother and took the paper from his hand to read it. Arec put his arm around Eve’s shoulder. Lowering the paper, Michael looked at them and asked, “What’s the plan?” “Go and meet your family,” Eve said. “I don’t think I have any other choice.” Arec shook his head and said, “I don’t think that’s a wise idea, Eve.” Eve took the paper back and skimmed it again. “It doesn’t look like I can get out of it, Arec,” she said, shaking her head. Arec strode toward her and took the paper out of her hand. Crumpling it in his fist, he said, “You do have a choice, Eve, regardless of what my mother thinks.” Eve shook her head and said, “I don’t want to cause any trouble between you and the rest of your family.” Arec laughed without mirth and

“You should just tell Linda that you’ve got a family function with my family tomorrow night,” Arec said. Eve bit her lower lip as she looked at him before nodding and saying, “That makes sense.” She bent over her phone as she typed the message. Biting her lip as she waited for Linda to respond, she grinned in relief when she read her friend’s message. “She’s okay with waiting until next week,” she said. “Glad to hear,” Arec said. “I don’t want you to think you can’t keep up your friendships now that you’re a werewolf.” Eve sighed and said, “Well, it won’t be the same. How am I supposed to tell her I’m unavailable three nights out of the month?” “Maybe she won’t notice?” Bella said, shrugging with a hopeful look. Eve shook her head and said, “I think Linda’s a little smarter than that.” “I’m sure she is, but it’ll take her time to catch on,” Arec said. “By the time she does notice, maybe you’ll be able to tell her.” Eve’s mouth dropped open, and she blinked a few times bef

Once Bella had completed her makeup, Eve stared at herself in the mirror. “Is this really me?” she asked, staring at the beautiful woman in the reflection. Bella appeared over her shoulder and smiled, putting her hands on Eve’s shoulders. “It’s really you,” she said. Meeting Bella’s eyes in the mirror, Eve asked, “Will this make your mother approve of me?” Bella’s smile faded, and she said, “I’m not sure even this will make Mother approve of you, but don’t let that get you down. There’s not many people she does approve of.” Eve smiled wryly at Bella and said, “I get the feeling she approves of Sabrina.” Bella rolled her eyes and said, “Don’t even get me started on that woman!” “I take it you know her?” Eve asked. Grimacing, Bella nodded, saying, “Unfortunately, I’ve had the not-so-pleasurable experience of meeting her when Mother was trying to pawn her off on one of my brothers.” “She did what?” Eve asked, her eyes wide. “You mean she wasn’t just trying to get her together

Eve opened her eyes and lifted her head from Arec’s shoulder to stare at the enormous mansion ahead of them. “Is that your mother’s house?” she asked. Arec nodded. Eve saw his lips had pressed together so hard that they looked white from the lack of blood. “Did you grow up here?” she asked, squeezing his arm. Arec nodded again, not taking his eyes from the house. “I left once I had the chance to do so and bought the house I’m living in,” he told her. He looked at her and smiled, saying, “Besides meeting you, that was the best thing that has happened in my life.”“Was it that bad?” Eve asked, frowning. Arec tore his eyes from the house and said, “It was, but since she’s still the pack leader, I couldn’t go far.” “Do you have to stay in town?” she asked. “Why couldn’t you move far away from her?” Arec pressed his lips together before answering. “Lycans are bound to their families,” he told her. “Even if we don’t get along, we have to stay together for the strength and saf

Everyone at the table gasped at Sabrina’s announcement and turned to look at Eve. Arec’s siblings whispered among themselves as they glanced toward Eve. Eve looked at Arec in confusion.Eve leaned closer to him and asked in a low voice, “What does she mean? What is she talking about?” Arec leaned toward her and said in an equally low voice, “She means that she will fight you for the right of being my mate.” Straightening, he looked at Sabrina and added, “That won’t be necessary since I can make my own decisions, and I choose Eve. Besides, she is my fated mate, and no one can override that.” His siblings whispered even louder among themselves. Eve heard them whisper that werewolves and Lycans cannot be mates. She also overheard their questions if Arec was serious about Eve being his mate. She swallowed as she looked at them before turning her head to look at Sabrina. Sabrina scowled at Arec and opened her mouth to say something but stopped as Arec’s mother held up her hand. She

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
