Night Wolves Chapter 12: Scented
"Kalyssa?"The voice was somewhere... close. But I couldn't quite make out who it belonged to. It was as if I were hovering somewhere just out of my body, just out of reach."Kalyssa, honey. Can you hear me?"Yes, it was Elias. Then everything came rushing back. The clinic. Maria. Macy. The horror that had quickly become my life.I opened my eyes, and I was laying in the back of a van, and Elias was sitting by my side. "Where am I?""We're still at the clinic. Just wrapping things up," Xander said, sitting to my left. "How are you feeling? You scared the tar out of us.""I'm fine." I sat up and held my head. It was pounding. "But my head hurts.""Boss," Cruz said, taking a few steps closer. Xander let out a deep breath and turned to face him. "What did you find?""Well, we found a shell casing," Cruz said. "It's not much to go on, but maybe they can lift a print from it." He held it up and saw a small metal object in a plastic bag."I doubt it, but at least it's something." Xander si
Night Wolves Chapter 13: Opulence
When we pulled into the long drive of the Compound, I knew, somehow, that I wasn't going to be leaving for a while. The guys had me here and I was sure they weren't going to let me go. I had mixed emotions about it. On one hand, I wanted to keep my independence, but on the other hand, I didn't mind being with my men, either."Well, we're home," Xander said when we pulled up in front on the circle drive. Cruz had driven my car, and I drove with Xander and Elias in their van while Eve drove Cruz's car. I nodded, wondering if this was going to be a gilded cage, of sorts. But it was up to me to set the groundwork right away to make sure it wasn't. "I appreciate you letting me stay here until we find the perpetrators." I wanted to make sure they knew this wasn't permanent... yet. After all, I hadn't even known them a week.Xander glanced over at Elias and Elias shook his head slightly, but it hadn't escaped my notice. "Well, let's get you settled in first and maybe we can change your min
Night Wolves Chapter 14: Lucky
"Hey, hon," Xavier said, stretching out his arm to me. "Pizza's on the way. You want to relax and watch a movie while we eat?"Luckily, he didn't say anything about me walking in with Cruz. It was good to see that he was making an effort. "No. Not tonight." I shook my head, needing time. My best friends and colleagues were killed today, and I needed to know why. "Come sit down," Elias said, reading my mind without me having to say anything. He wrapped his arm around me, and I leaned my head against his shoulder. "Everything's going to be okay."I nodded, rising up. "Who could have done such a thing? Why did they 'scent' me? I'm not a wolf. If I were, I would have changed by now, right?"Elias sighed. "Not necessarily. Tell us about your upbringing." "But if you don't feel up to it, we completely understand." Xander rubbed my back and then gave Elias a warning look that I didn't miss. I think you've been through enough for one day."I nodded, giving him a weak smile. "Thanks." I shrug
Night Wolves Chapter 15: Settling In
"Why don't we all sleep in here tonight?" Xander asked. "I know you're upset but we want to take care of you. If you don't want to do anything, then no problem."I nodded. "Well, I'm on birth control—""Throw it out," Xander growled, cutting me off."Seriously?" I asked. "You just seriously growled at me over birth control? Don't you think that's something we should discuss?"Elias smiled, leading me into the bedroom as Xander closed the door behind us. "What Xander means is that we want to have children...." He glared at Xander. "When the time comes."I scoffed. "Okay. I get it now. The sexcapade was all because you wanted to... breed me?""No!" Xander took a step closer to me as Elias bit his lower lip to conceal a smile."Get away from me!" I said, taking a step back.He sighed, not moving any closer. "I'd love to have children, but when you're ready." He smirked. "I'm much older than I look.""How old?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. He smirked. "Older than Elias.""How old?" I dema
Night Wolves Chapter 16: Familiar and Unfamiliar
"There you are," Xander said, opening the sliding glass door leading out onto the balcony. "I was looking for—" He followed my gaze and stopped mid-thought when he saw the man. "Who is that guy?""That's what I'd like to know." I looked up at Xander and shrugged. "I'm not sure, but I think he may be responsible for the clinic burning down, but I could be wrong." I didn't say that he could have been responsible for the deaths of my friends, although it was what I was thinking.Xander nodded once. "Come inside. I'll go check it out.""Xander, don't go alone." I went inside and locked the sliding glass door as he hurried toward the door.He shook his head. "I'm not. Just stay here and lock the door."I nodded once and locked the door behind him as he asked when he rushed out.After pacing for a while in my suite, I wondered if Elias had gone with him. There was only one way to find out, so I headed over to the sliding glass doors and looked out, keeping them locked.Xander, Elias, Cruz, R
Night Wolves Chapter 17: Intuition
We pulled down the long, circle driveway of Caprice Casino, which was actually a true castle and served as the main hotel. There were also outbuildings behind it, creating a spectacular courtyard."Wow! I would love to take a tour of the grounds some time," I said, my eyes wide. "Not today, but the next time we come back."Xander gave my hand a gentle squeeze. "We can arrange that. I'm sure Lance and Leila will be glad to give you a tour." He smiled appreciatively. "It really is quite spectacular."Elias held my other hand. "Are you ready for this?"I shrugged. "As ready as I'll ever be."When the limo pulled to a stop, a young man wearing a suit coat, jeans, and tennis shoes was waiting for us, along with several other men, all dressed in black suits with white shirts, resembling Secret Service Agents.Xander got out first and then he offered me his hand to help me out, and Elias got out on the other side. "Kellen," Xander said, shaking his hand. "Drake told me what happened. We came
Night Wolves Chapter 18: Welcome to the New World
I walked with Lance and he placed a protective hand on the small of my back, the perfect gentleman."My wife and I would like you, Xander, and Elias to join us for dinner tonight, if you decide to stay," he said, smiling. "You could meet our son, Jace.""You have a child?" We followed another person, whom I assumed was another vampire down a corridor, and then stopped at an elevator."Yes, Leila and I have a son," Lance replied, smiling, obviously proud. "He has his mother's coloring and good looks.""Wow," I said. Lance smirked. "What?"I shrugged. "I just find it interesting that a vampire could be a loving father.""And why's that?" he asked, tilting his head to the side. "Do you not think that a vampire is capable of love? Or could care for his family?""I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to offend. I've probably seen too many vampire films," I replied. "I guess that I wasn't aware that vampires could even have children, other than in Twilight."Lance chuckled. "We can... with human moth
Night Wolves Chapter 19: Crash Course in the Ways of This World
When we walked into the conference room, Lance stood. "Are you sure you want Kalyssa to hear this?""Yes, of course," Xander said, letting me go into the room first."Mr. Steel," I said, heading toward a chair. "This concerns me as much as it does the rest of you.""Indeed." Lance laughed, holding a chair for me. "You remind me so much of my wife. She's feisty, too, just like you."Once everyone was seated, Lance folded his arms on top of the table and looked over at Xander. "So, did Rory or Casen tell you anything?"Xander nodded. "As you know, Kalyssa's clinic was attacked and two of her employees were killed, but they were human. Thank goodness, Kalyssa wasn't there." Xander shook his head. "And in the newspaper, there was a murder that had all the earmarks of a witch execution. And now the attack here at your casino."Lance nodded. "So, are you saying what I think you're saying?""When we were interrogating Rory and Casen, I discovered that they both were from the Silver Pack in Or

Night Wolves Chapter 120: The Luckiest Wolf
Over the next few days, we prepared for our Pledging Ceremony and Eve and Dannan's wedding. Their wedding had been a few days before our Pledging Ceremony and had been nothing short of an event—the complete opposite of Cruz and Eve's Wedding. But it suited them well. After all, Dannan and Eve were much more flamboyant than Cruz and Bailey. Also, nearly every member of Dannan's pack had arrived for their Wedding, adding to their numbers. But it was a lot of fun.Xander had performed the ceremony, and we had danced into the night. Eve and Dannan looked happy, too. Since they had found each other, both of them seemed to be less grumpy and easier to get along with. And with the trial behind her, Eve was able to concentrate on the wedding and enjoy it. She had surprised me by asking me to be her Maid of Honor, and I had graciously accepted. After what we had been through together, we had continued to grow closer. Even though she was still Eve, she was a better version of herself than she h
Night Wolves Chapter 119: Promise
The next day, Sasha was found guilty of treason and sentenced to fifty years in the Alpha Supreme's prison. Eve and Dannan were in attendance, along with Xander, Elias, and me. Seven, her brother, was there, too."I'm so sorry, Seven," I said, patting his arm after the trial. "But the evidence was overwhelming."Seven nodded, a crease forming between his eyes. "Yes, I know. Who knows? Maybe the next fifty years will give her time to think. She should be punished for siding with Nightshade against the wolves." He let out a deep breath. "But I'll visit her in prison and will try to help her in any way I can."I gave his arm a gentle squeeze. "You're a good brother."He shook his head. "Thanks, but I don't feel like it.""Seven, this wasn't your fault." I let out a deep breath. "You had no idea what she was up to."He nodded. "I know. I had a feeling she was up to something, but I had no idea what it was." He smiled, looking at Xander, Elias, and me. "Thank you all for everything you've d
Night Wolves Chapter 118: Surprise
When we walked into the Main Dining Hall, Gray was already at the table, talking to Dannan and Eve. Cruz and Bailey were sitting at their usual table, but I stopped, scrunching up my nose as I took them in."What are you two doing here?" I chuckled. "You're supposed to be up there with us!"Cruz smirked as he looked over at Bailey, arching an eyebrow. "Well? What do you think?"Bailey looked up at me and shrugged. "With the Alpha Supreme here, we didn't want to intrude.""Get up here!" I teased. "You're never intruding! Besides, I'd like to introduce you two to him."Bailey looked at me sheepishly. "Are you sure there's enough room?""Absolutely!" I glanced over at Xander. "We could always have another table brought up. Couldn't we?""Yes, of course!" Xander smirked, holding Bailey's chair. "You two are part of the family now."Cruz chuckled. "You go ahead. We're right behind you."I pulled Bailey in for a quick hug, smiling sweetly. "If you don't come up there, then I'll come back for
Night Wolves Chapter 117: Time Alone
Chapter 117: Time Alone"You don't think Rolph would do anything, do you?" All we needed right now was for Rolph to find out that we're being Pledged and then do something to stop it. Xander shook his head as we headed toward the elevator. We had just taken the Alpha Supreme to his room to rest before dinner and had a few minutes alone. Xander shook his head, looking toward Gray's room, and his door was closed.We stepped into the elevator before Xander spoke. "No, I don't think so. If he hadn't done anything by now, then I don't think he will."I nodded. "I hope you're right."Once the doors closed, Xander backed me against the wall, placing his hands on either side of me. "Kalyssa, the only thing I want you to think about right now is the Pledging Ceremony." He brushed a strand of hair back away from my face, looking into my eyes, causing my heart to quicken. With him so close like this, it made it difficult to concentrate."Okay," I breathed, lacing my fingers through his light br
Night Wolves Chapter 116: Alpha Supreme
We spent the next few days getting everything ready. We had our work cut out for us, helping Dannan and Eve plan their wedding as well as planning our Pledging Ceremony.Come to find out, a Pledging Ceremony is just as much work as a wedding. The only difference is that the couple is bound to one another instead of married. In the shifter world, it's usually common as an engagement ceremony, during which time either party may choose not to marry the other without fault. But it's okay to use as a semi-marriage ceremony, too. Legally, I couldn't marry two men, so this was the next best thing. But in our eyes, we will be bound to one another, whether we're technically married in the eyes of the law or not."So, what kind of flowers would you like?" I asked Eve as we planned with Bailey at the Clinic. Since Sasha ended up being the one who betrayed our pack to Nightwatch, it left Eve with very few, if any, close friends. So, Bailey and I had offered to help her plan since we were planning
Night Wolves Chapter 115: Love is Magic
"So, I see that my brother and Elias finally put a ring on your finger." Dannan smiled as he took my hand to admire the engagement ring Elias and Xander gave to me. "So, when's the big day?"I shrugged as Xander took my hand and kissed it. "I'm not sure. We haven't set one yet.""Well, why don't you do it while Dannan's here?" Eve suggested, slipping her arm through his."Hey! That's a great idea!" Dannan looked between Xander and Elias. "Why not? I could help you get everything in order while I'm here."Elias smiled, taking my hand as he looked between Xander and me. "Well, what do you think?"A broad smile spread across Xander's lips. "I'm game if you two are."I nodded, smiling. "Let's do it! What day?"Xander shrugged. "A week from today?""That won't give us much time to prepare." Elias suddenly looked lost in thought. and then glanced over at me, arching an eyebrow. "Will that be okay with you?"I nodded. "We can do it if we keep it small. It doesn't have to be an elaborate affai
Night Wolves Chapter 114: Family
"Well, hello, brother."When we walked in, I nearly fell over, for standing a short distance away was Dannan Reed, Xander's brother."It's good to see you, Dannan." Xander gave him a manly handshake, pulling him in for a hug, and then released him. "So, what brings you here?"He shrugged, arching an eyebrow. "So, I need a reason to come see my brother?""Usually." Xander burst out laughing, giving him a friendly slap on the back. "Come. Join us. We just held a Celebration of Making and was just about to celebrate with a feast.""So, has the she-wolf Eve been claimed yet?" Dannan asked, looking around. I smiled, biting my lower lip, knowing that was the real reason why he had come. "Why? Has the love bug bitten you?"Dannan scoffed. "Please." He shrugged. "Just wanted to check on her while I was here." His expression turned serious as his eyes met Xander's. "So, has she been claimed?"Xander chuckled, shaking his head. "No. Not yet. She and Kalyssa got into a bit of trouble--"Dannan g
Night Wolves Chapter 113: Ceremony of Making
The next day, I woke in the arms of my Alphas, sure, for the first time since we had been together, that I belonged."Good morning," Xander rolled over on me and brushed back the hair from my face and kissed my neck. Then he kissed my cheeks as he slowly pushed into me, moving his lips down as he kissed my breast, his pulls soft and slow, arching his back as he went deep. Then he moved slowly in and out, holding me as he pushed into me.I pulled him to me and kissed his broad shoulders, enjoying the feel of this powerful man in my arms and my bed. Then I pulled his lips to mine and deepened the kiss. When I pulled back, I pushed the hair away from his face to look into his eyes, matching him thrust for thrust.Soon, want and desire overtook us as his pulls became harder, more forceful. He held himself up with one hand and caressed my pleasure spot with the other, while never breaking his stride. His kiss was filled with want and desire as he looked deeply into my eyes. Then he slid my
Night Wolves Chapter 112: Irrevocably Mine
"That's enough, everyone," Xander said, holding everyone back so I could walk through the garage.When Bailey and I got back, everyone wanted a ride, but Elias and Xander had something else planned for this evening, and I didn't want to disappoint them. Surely, the last thing they wanted was to have me spend the rest of the evening giving members of the pack rides in my new sports car.Bailey pulled me in for a hug. "Thanks for taking me." She arched an eyebrow when she pulled back. "See you at the Clinic Monday?"I nodded, knowing it would give me a few days to rest since this was Friday. "I'll be there."She crossed the room to stand by Cruz, and he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and nodded toward me, giving me his usual mischievous grin. "You know, you're going to let me give it a whirl. Right?"I scoffed. "Yeah, right," I teased as everyone laughed. Even though I was kidding around, I would probably let him drive it at least once anyway.Elias placed his hand on the small of
