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 20: For Better or For Worse
Leila looked at me, her eyes filled with concern. "So, do you have any idea who's attacking the castle?"Sitting on the edge of my seat, I let out a deep breath. "Members of Nightshade."Leila tilted her head to the side. "Nightshade?""Supernatural Hunters." Leila nodded. "Yes, Lance told me there were here and not to leave the castle.""They're hunting every supernatural creature they can find." I crossed my legs, folding my hands on top of my knees.Leila rubbed her very pregnant stomach, her eyebrows pulling together in concern. "I can't they're here." Then it dawned on me that I shouldn't be upsetting her like this. She was pregnant with a supernatural child, after all, and had enough to worry about."I'm sure it's nothing." I waved my hand dismissively. "So, how are you feeling?"She scoffed, raising an eyebrow. "Please, don't downplay anything because I'm pregnant. If something is coming for us, I need to know."I nodded, letting out a deep breath. "Sorry. I just didn't want t
Night Wolves Chapter 21: No Way Out
"Drive!" Elias growled to the driver as he and Xander strapped me into the backseat between them."Let me go!" I yelled, fighting against the seatbelt restraints, suddenly short of breath. "You know this is kidnapping. Right?" I slipped out of the restraints and reached over Xander to open the door, but we were going too fast for me to jump out.Xander grabbed me and pulled me back in. "Are you crazy?" He set me back hard in the seat and strapped me in again. "You could have been killed!""Take. Me. Home!" I yelled, kicking at the back of the seat."Pull over!" Elias said, holding my wrists in an effort to keep me calm."Yes, sir," the driver said.Elias shoved my hands toward Xander. "Here! Hold her!"Xander took my wrists with ease, holding me while Elias fumbled around for something. Then it dawned on me: He was a doctor and he was rummaging through his medical bag. Then he held up a hypodermic needle and a small bottle with clear liquid inside."Do not give me anything—"All of a s
Night Wolves Chapter 22: Crazy Train
The next day, I spent a lot of time alone in my suite, which I didn't mind. It gave me time to think about the future and the present, and what I wanted.That afternoon, there was a knock on my door. When I opened it, what looked to be a team of people was standing there, armed to the teeth with blow dryers and small duffle bags."Hello," a woman said, tilting her head to the side. Even though she was young, she had white hair artfully done into a twist and a figure to die for. "You must be Kalyssa." She started to barge in, but I held up my hand, stopping her."And who are you?" Until I got to know everyone in the pack, I wasn't taking any chances. Not after what we had just gone through at the castle.She smirked. "I'm Daphne, your designer and clothing coordinator, and this is Raphael on hair, Cassy on nails, and Symphony on feet," she said as if she were announcing the Spring Training Lineup at Cardinal Stadium. Then she held her arms out and smiled. "We're your Glam Squad Dream Te
Night Wolves Chapter 23: Golden Chains
"There!" Daphne looked me over when they were finished. She took my hands and held them out to the side, regarding me as if I were a masterpiece, a work of art on mere canvas, instead of a person. "Lovely! A true Luna! All of you should be commended! Good work!" Then she lowered my hands and leaned in conspiratorially. "Try not to muss my creation before the presentation. Umm?""I'll do my best." I smirked. For two cents, I would have snorted or wiped my nose across my arm just to be smart, but I didn't want to hurt the feelings of the others. Instead, I turned to my Glam Squad. "Thank you all. You did a wonderful job."Raphael took my hand and kissed it. "You are truly a queen."I nodded, smiling. "Thanks. It's very kind of you to say.""Don't believe me?" he asked, smiling as he pulled me toward the full-length mirror. "Take a look."In the mirror, I saw the reflection of someone I didn't recognize. My golden blonde hair was pulled up into an elegant updo with a few loose curls spill
Night Wolves Chapter 24: With Friends Like This....
"I want to go home," I said again, smiling sweetly at Xander. He let out a deep breath, laying his napkin beside his plate. "I'm sorry, but that's not possible. But when you're ready, we'd like for you to join us in our shared bedroom.""I can't believe you just said that." I let out a deep breath, shaking my head. "If you'll excuse me," I said, rising from my seat.Both Elias and Xander stood."I'm sorry you're unhappy." Elias took my hand and looked into my eyes. "We will take you home when this is over if you so choose. But not before."I headed across the stage and down the stairs when Cruz took my hand to help me down. Then he and another man followed me. Bodyguards, I'm sure."Kalyssa," he said once we were in the hallway, but I just kept walking. "Just calm down."I stopped, nearly causing both Cruz and the other guard to run into me. "Calm down? You want me to calm down? I'm being held here against my will and you want me to calm down?""Ssshhh...." Cruz let out a deep breath,
Night Wolves Chapter 25: Desire
As Cruz and I approached Xander's bedroom door, I knew I was right. He was going to turn me in. "Traitor," I mumbled to Cruz under my breath."Oh, calling me names isn't going to help." He smirked, letting go of my arm just long enough to knock on Xander's door."I didn't call you a name," I sulked."Yes, you did.""No, I didn't.""Child."I scoffed, shaking my head, trying to think of a good comeback just when Xander opened the door of his suite.He looked first at me and then at Cruz. Without saying a word, he gently slid my duffle bag from Cruz's shoulder and opened the door wide. I gave Cruz a look over my shoulder that had traitor written all over it, and then walked in. But I knew that in his mind, he was just trying to keep me safe. And if I had to admit it, I guessed that Xander and Elias were just trying to keep me safe, too. But my freedom was something I cherished above all else and hard to give up for anyone… even for a little while.Standing just inside the door, I took
Night Wolves Chapter 26: Heaven
When we were spent, I lay in Xander's arms, thinking about choices. "Where is Elias, by the way?""He had to go to the hospital." His eyes were closed as he leaned over and kissed the top of my head. "There was an emergency with one of his patients."I nodded. "I wish there were something I could do, work-wise. I've been working practically since I could remember."He raised up on the bed and opened his eyes. "Even in college?"I nodded. "I worked my way through college." I settled back against his arm. "So the thought of not working at all kind of terrifies me."Xander turned me over and looked into my eyes. "Then why don't you take over the clinic?""Seriously?" I asked, sitting up. "But I'm not a doctor."He shrugged. "You're a veterinarian."I laughed, plopping back down onto the pillow. "Xander, there's a big difference between being a veterinarian and a doctor."He shrugged, tracing his fingers lazily over my skin. "If you have any questions, you can always ask Elias. Either that

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
