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 41: Happy Thought
When we got back to the Compound, everything had changed, but nothing had. Then I realized that what had changed… was me.Suddenly, my sense of smell was more acute, and nothing escaped my notice. I saw details that I had never paid attention to in the past. Heard the rustle of tiny animals in the brush under the leaves. Everything was new and I felt alive for the first time in my life.Until now, I was merely a dreamer in a dream. Now, I was awake.When we neared the Compound, Elias headed toward one of the outbuildings. It was small in comparison, resembling a cabin. But when we walked through the enormous double doors, it was one big room."What is this place?" I asked, pacing back and forth along the wooden planks of the floor, looking through the enormous plate-glass windows."This is a cabin for new wolves," Elias said mentally, "a place they can wait until they gain control and can morph back into their human form.""So, it's a cage," I said in the Pack Mind."No, not at all," X
Night Wolves Chapter 42: Claimed
I must have fallen asleep because I woke in the transformation cabin in my human form, naked, with just a blanket draped over me, covering the vital places. "Morning." Xander smiled, sitting stark naked on a chair, watching me sleep. "Morning." I sat up and pulled the blanket up over my breasts. "Thanks for this."He shrugged. "I was trying to be a gentleman." I looked at him hard, trying to read his mind. Now, there was no chatter at all. Nothing. But in our wolf form, his thoughts were as clear as if we were speaking aloud. Xander smirked. "What are you doing?""Trying to read your mind."Xander laughed. "That's only in the Pack Mind."I lifted an eyebrow. "And you can only access the Pack Mind is only in our wolf form?""Bingo."I laughed. "Where's Elias?""He went to the Compound to scrounge some food for us," Xander replied, crossing the room to me. Then he sat on the bare hardwood floor beside me and ran the back of his hand along my cheek, looking into my eyes. "How do you f
Night Wolves Chapter 43: Unexpected
"Don't even start," I teased, slipping into the robe he offered. "I feel so weird walking into the Compound in just a thin robe. I feel like everyone can see right through it."Elias shrugged. "It wouldn't be the worst thing."I chuckled, slapping him playfully on the arm. "I just feel self-conscious... like everyone's going to be looking at me."Xander shrugged. "They will, but it's okay by me." He pulled me to him and gave me a quick kiss on the top of my head. "They can read the menu all they want, as long as they don't order from it.""You're incorrigible." I chuckled, shaking my head. "Yes, ma'am, I am." Xander nodded playfully. "Well, let's go. But don't worry. Everyone's used to seeing people walk around the Compound in robes." He shrugged. "Actually, it's no big deal.""If you say so," I said as Xander held the door open for me. "I do." He smirked. "Shall we?" Elias smiled, taking my hand.I shrugged. "Sure. Why not?"We headed outside, and everyone that was passing by stopp
Night Wolves Chapter 44: A Place in the Pack
Pausing long enough to slip on a pair of tennis shoes and grab my keys and my cell phone, I headed out the door and ran down the hallway, headed toward the elevator. When the doors closed, I quickly hit L1. The doors closed right away, but the elevator couldn't move fast enough. The doors opened a moment later on the first floor, and I ran straight to the Clinic. Four shifters were waiting outside, one of whom was Eve. She growled, but I paid no attention. I walked toward the Clinic and flung the door open.Inside, Cruz stood over Xander, holding a blood-stained towel to his chest. His face was bloody, too, and Elias lay on the other table, his blond hair soaked with blood, but Baily was working on him."Report!" I yelled to her, gently moving Xander's hands aside to assess the damage. I lifted the towel, and blood oozed from his chest. I quickly covered it again. "I've stopped the bleeding with Elias, but he's going to need stitches. He was bleeding the worst when they came in. I've
Night Wolves Chapter 45: The Threat of Death is Real
"Dr. Carran, why don't you take the Alphas upstairs to rest, and I'll take care of everyone down here?" Bailey wrapped gauze around a shifter's head. "I'll take it from here."I shook my head. "No, I'll stay. Also, call me Kalyssa."She nodded, leaning in conspiratorially. "I was calling you that in front of the others." Then she turned her attention back to her work. "Besides, this is our last patient.""Well, then. Don't clean anything up," I replied, noticing that Elias was wavering again. "I'll do it tomorrow."She shrugged. "We'll see." She gave me a wink. "Go ahead, and I'll see you tomorrow."The faint rays of morning sunshine were already streaming through the window."Well, we're not opening today," I said, already making a sign to put on the door. "After this, go home and get some sleep."A broad smile spread across her lips, giving me a knowing smile. "You, too."It was like talking to my grandmother in a teenager's body. "Okay, Grandma."Bailey chuckled. "You can call me a

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
