Night Wolves Chapter 33: Hunter and the Hunted
After Xander left, I ended up eating dinner alone, wondering where Deven could be and why he had infiltrated the Compound. And to go so far as to break his arm so he would have an in was way beyond normal.He had to be part of Nightshade. But if that were the case, then why didn't he kidnap or kill me? Unless he was just scoping everything out. It made me wonder if Bailey and I should open the Clinic in the morning. I hated to cancel like that though. Here I had just gotten my freedom back, and now I took a chance of losing it again. But then again, the safety of the pack was critical.After I finished eating, I wrapped up the leftovers for Xander and Elias and then slid them onto the top shelf in the refrigerator, where I was sure they would find it, just in case I fell asleep.After talking to Bailey, it made me nostalgic for old movies. So, I put on Casablanca, and was halfway through the film when it dawned on me. The only place Elias and Xander may not have checked was the Clinic
Night Wolves Chapter 34: Unexpected
"So, what are you thinking about?" Cruz asked as we headed toward the elevator.My head snapped up. "Why?"Cruz shrugged. "I just noticed how quiet you were all of a sudden."I chuckled. "I'm usually quiet.""Yeah right." He rolled his eyes. "You, my dear, are not quiet."I scoffed, laughing. "Thanks a lot!""Hey, the truth hurts. But don't change the subject," he teased, giving me a sly smile. "What were you thinking about just then?""I was thinking that Deven probably wouldn't see the light of day." We walked into the elevator, and the doors closed. "But we can't let him go back to Nightshade and tell them everything that he learned either.""Now you're getting it," Cruz replied, smiling."Getting what?"He shrugged. "This is how it is in our world. Loyalty is probably the most important virtue that we hold dear. If you betray the pack, then it's certain death."I nodded. "Well, he was old enough to know better."Cruz nodded. "Yes, he is.""And we can't trust him, either."Cruz shoo
Night Wolves Chapter 35: Clinic
"Wait." I stood and walked toward Xander, keeping the sheet wrapped around me. "Deven was my first customer yesterday morning."Xander turned to face me, his eyes filled with concern. "Yes. Why?"I let out a deep breath. "Well, I think it's pretty suspicious. Last night, he told me that he had a friend break his arm so he could have an in at the clinic, knowing that I was human and new to the Compound. But I didn't even know I was opening the clinic yesterday until the night before.""Which means, that we have a mole," Elias finished, buttoning up his jeans. "Either that, or there was more than one that infiltrated the Compound," I replied. Xander shook his head. "No, I don't think so. Deven wasn't at the Compound until yesterday morning. No, someone had to have been telling him when to come, where to go, and what to do." Xander placed his hands on my shoulders and kissed the topo of my head. "Go ahead and shower and I'll meet you both downstairs.""I'll shower in a little while," El
Night Wolves Chapter 36: Surprise Attack
"Are you sure you're going to be okay?" Bailey asked as I locked the door of the Clinic later that evening. I nodded, giving her a small smile. "I'll be fine. I'm just going to go straight up to my suite," I lied. I had been worried about Cruz all day and wanted to check on him to make sure he was okay.Had I told Bailey the truth, there would be no way that she'd let me go alone. Either that or she would go straight to Xander and Elias. Not that I wanted to hide anything from Xander and Elias, but I just wanted to check on him myself. After all, he had brought me into this supernatural world and had introduced me to my Mates. But more importantly, he had been a good friend."Oh-kay," Bailey said, dragging out the word. "If you're sure, I'll see you tomorrow then. I have a hot date tonight."I laughed. "No problem. Thanks for everything. I really appreciate you cleaning up the Clinic for me today."A broad smile spread across her face. "There was still a lot to do when you got here, b
Night Wolves Chapter 37: It's Not Over
"What was that all about?" I flailed my arm in the direction that Eve had gone. "Why is it my fault?"Cruz let out a deep breath, shaking his head. "I have no idea. She just needed someone to blame, and it happened to be you.""Nope. I'm not buying it. Is Nightshade looking for me for some reason?" After all, the note pinned to River said, "You're next". At the time, I had thought it had meant the pack. But could it have meant me?Cruz motioned with his head toward the elevator. "Come on. I'll walk you back to your suite."I shook my head. "No. I'll be fine. But tell me, Cruz. Was Nightshade looking for me and found River instead?"He scoffed, stopping in the center of the hallway. "Kalyssa, why would they be looking for you?" He started toward the elevator again. "The note didn't say it was you. It meant the pack.""Are you sure?" I asked, pulling him to a stop. "Eve said that it was my fault! Could Nightshade have been looking for me?"Cruz placed his fingers on his forehead, as if t
Night Wolves Chapter 38: Answers
"Xander, slow down!" I said, trying to catch up. "Take a minute to calm down before you confront Sasha. She probably has a good reason for not telling you everything.""What?" Xander asked, stopping so abruptly that I nearly ran into him. "Kalyssa, what could she possibly say that would justify her not telling us the complete truth?""I have no idea!" I replied, placing a hand on my forehead. "But you need to calm down before you do something that you'll regret.""Like what?"I narrowed my eyes. "Like tearing her head off, for starters."He let out a deep breath, turning away, taking a moment to calm down. "Kalyssa, I need to talk to her, and find out why she lied to us. Trust is a virtue that we value. If someone betrays that trust, they'd better have a d*mned good reason." The elevator door opened, and he put his arm out, holding it open for me. "Shall we?"I nodded once and then walked inside. "Where's Elias?""He's going to meet us at Sasha's suite," he replied, hitting the button
Night Wolves Chapter 39: Shielded with Sacrifice
"Come here." Xander pulled me in for a hug, holding me tightly to his chest. "I'm so sorry for losing it like that earlier." He pulled back and looked deeply into my eyes. "Will you ever forgive me?"Elias's head snapped up, narrowing his eyes, but Xander shook his head, silently telling him that he would tell him later. "Yes, of course," I replied. "But from here on out, try not to lose your temper with me. I'm on your side. Remember?"He nodded. "We'll talk later, but will you be okay?"I nodded. "Yes. You two go. I'll be just fine. Daphne will be here in just a minute."I gave Xander and Elias one last hug and saw them out, hoping we could get to the bottom of this before anyone else was killed. If someone wanted me dead, I wanted to know who they were and why.As Xander and Elias were walking out, Daphne walked up, carrying a leather briefcase. "Alphas," she said, bowing her head slightly. "Thank you for coming on such short notice," Elias said. "Please, take good care of our gir
Night Wolves Chapter 40: New Wolf
I was about to run for the glass when I heard a voice behind me. "Kalyssa, no!" Elias shouted. "You'll hurt yourself! Let us help you!" I paced back and forth, a caged animal needing to be free. "Open the door, so she doesn't hurt herself!" Xander yelled, bursting into my suite. I looked over at him, and he gave me a knowing look as Daphne ran in behind him. "She changed during the reading!" she yelled, but everyone ignored her. A low growl erupted from deep within my chest as I paced in my suite.Elias stood in front of me and looked into my eyes. "Kalyssa, it's okay. You're one of us.""No!" I ran for the glass, but Elias flung it open just in time, and I leaped through the door and propelled myself off the balcony. I landed on four white paws on the soft green grass, and then ran. I had no idea where I was going or what I was running to, but I had to get out, to escape the horrors. I was a wolf, and my mother and grandmother had died to save my life, and probably my father, to

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
