"I don't like leaving you alone." Xander sat on the edge of the bed in our shared bedroom, pulling on his boots. The night before, both Xander and Elias had insisted on staying with me until after Rolf left the Compound. "You won't be safe again until he's gone."

"I'll be fine." I pulled on the shirt of my scrubs. "I refuse to live my life in fear. Besides, I've left Bailey alone in the Clinic too many times as it is." I sat on the edge of the bed and tied my white nurses' shoes, having brought over a change of clothes with me the night before.

"Well, I'll walk you down then." Xander quickly added, "And that is non-negotiable."

I nodded, relenting. If I could carry on with my normal daily activities in peace, then I would be happy. As I had said, I refused to live my life in fear that someone would do something to me. Otherwise, I'd never get anything done. Even though I had a long way to go to mastery, I had enough magical skills now that I felt reasonably safe.

"Well, just in case,

    I was just about to teleport out when Rolph walked back in... followed by Rush Balista. "I should have known you were behind this.""Well, well! It's good to see you again, too." A broad smile spread across Balista's lips as he strolled toward me. "It's a pleasure to see you again."I scoffed, shaking my head. "I wish I could say the same. So, I see you tried another tactic?" I nodded toward Rolph. "Are you even an Arctic Wolf? I know for a fact you're not an Alpha."He smirked, taking a step toward me. "And what makes you say that?"I lowered my head and looked up, my eyes flaring. "Because Alphas are honorable. You have no honor!""I assure you," Rolph said, taking a step closer. "My honor is still intact.""Enough!" Balista yelled, a crack in his usual calm demeanor showing. He snarled as he moved his head to first one side, popping his neck."But we had a deal!" Rolph growled.Balista calmly stepped toward him, looking directly into his eyes. "Yes, we do. Pray that I don't alter it

    "I have a Bloodstone ring here that you can have." Daphne headed to the wooden table on the wall and pulled open the drawer. She looked around for a bit and pulled out a long, slender box, closed the drawer, and brought it to the table."That's very nice of you to give it to her, but we'll pay you for the ring," Elias said.A smile lit Daphne's lips. "No, thank you. That won't be necessary. But I would suggest making Bloodstone rings for the whole pack. Anyone who wears one will be protected.""Sounds good," Xander replied. "Just let us know where to get them, and we'll take care of it."Daphne sighed. "Since we'll need so many rings, they'll have to be specially made. No one has that many Bloodstones handy, let alone already set in rings. But we can talk about that later. Right now, let's get this spelled and on her finger before her kidnapper comes back."Elias's head snapped up. "Can he do that?"She shrugged. "If he follows the residual magic that she left behind, then yes. He coul

    "We're just so happy that you were able to teleport back to us," Elias whispered, holding me close, his hand on the back of my head. "I'm so sorry we weren't able to find you. They must have some kind of cloaking spell on the warehouse."Just then, the elevators opened on the fifth floor. "Are you sure it was a warehouse?" Xander asked, placing his hand on my back as they both led me out. It was as if they both had to touch me to make sure I was really there and safe. I nodded, letting them lead me to our shared suite. "Guys, just to let you know, I need to get some rest. If you like, I can go to my—""If you think for one minute that we're going to let you out of our sight after what happened, then think again," Elias said as Xander opened the door to our suite. "We don't have to do anything if you don't want to." "Thanks. I just want to relax." Then I had an idea. "Why don't we go to the pool? I think a swim would help me."A broad smile spread across Xander's lips. "Great idea.""

    "I need to call Bailey and make sure she's okay." I slipped into a fluffy white robe and grabbed my cell phone. Then I remembered. "Wait. She's away with Cruz.""Don't worry. The Clinic will be fine for one day." Elias sat up in bed. "Besides, it's too late to go in now."I nodded. "Well, I'm going to go home and take a shower and relax. Come over later. I'll make us dinner tonight." I quickly gathered my clothes before they could object. "I'll watch you walk over." Xander slid out of bed stark naked, looking good enough to eat."Thanks." After waving goodbye to Elias, I headed toward the front door and gave Xander a quick kiss, but he pulled me close and deepened the kiss, his enthusiasm evident. "I have to go."One corner of his lips curled into a sexy smile as he opened the door and leaned against the door facing. "If you must.""If I don't leave now, I never will." I could say that I didn't know why I was lingering, but I knew.Xander shrugged. "Then don't. We can all move into th

    "Why don't you hold onto this for me?" I asked, holding it out to her when I was ready to leave. "You can give it to me the day of the Presentation Ceremony if you don't mind." I didn't want anything to happen to the stone before the ceremony. With it being in the pack for centuries, I didn't want to take a chance on losing it, even though I knew I wouldn't. Daphne's lips curled into a small smile. "No problem. I'll bring it to the Luna Presentation Ceremony." She put it back into the box and slid it back into the drawer, and then turned to face me. "So, the next full moon begins tomorrow. We can do it on any of those days. If we don't do it now, we'll have to wait until next month."I nodded, suddenly nervous. "Which day would you like to do it?"She shrugged. "Let's do it the day after tomorrow. It will give us both enough time to prepare. Also, I'll need to coordinate with Xander and Elias, as well."I nodded. "Sounds good." I pulled her in for a hug. "Daphne, thank you for everyth

  • Night Wolves   Chapter 93: Face-Off

    "So, are you headed over to work out this morning?" Bailey asked the morning of the Luna Choosing Ceremony. The day before had been hectic, getting everything in order. In fact, Bailey had insisted that I not come in to work today, saying that I needed the time to "prepare," whatever that meant. But I would go stir crazy just sitting around my suite just waiting for my glam squad to arrive before the ceremony tonight. I had a feeling I was in for something. Exactly what? I had no idea.I nodded, taking in Bailey's workout attire that matched mine. "Yeah, I was headed that way. Needed to burn off some energy before tonight."She chuckled, slinging her bag over her shoulder as she rolled her eyes. "Yeah, right!"I rolled my eyes, ignoring the jab. "So, how was your weekend with Cruise?" I asked, following her out. Even though I was perfectly happy with Elias and Xander, and wanted only the best for Cruise, an unreasonable part of me didn't want to know. A broad smile spread across her

    "Just go already!" Bailey finally told me halfway through the day. We hadn't had a patient all day, and she had clearly grown tired of me being distracted.My head snapped up. "What? In case you forgot, I'm your boss."She smirked as she took my purse from under the front desk and handed it to me. "Yes, you are. But in case you've forgotten, I'm much older than you, even if I don't look it.""I wouldn't say much older than me." I chuckled. Bailey scoffed. "Well, being a World War II nurse makes me quite a bit older than you. But age aside, you should go upstairs and take a long, hot relaxing bath." She shrugged. "You want to be ready when your glam squad arrives.""Don't remind me. They're an army just looking for a target to unleash their skills upon." I laughed. "Not that I'm complaining, though."Bailey chuckled, shaking her head.I sighed, my lips forming a straight line. "I just wish I knew more about the ceremony."Bailey gave me a sympathetic smile as she guided me toward the d

    "After I got word that your people were killed," Daphne said as we stepped into the elevator. "I found the bracelet along with the grimoire. I found some other things, too. I've been holding for you until you were ready."I nodded as pain gripped my heart. "I only remember the attack on my people and my mother and my grandmother. I don't remember my father or anything else. Is there any way you can restore the rest of my memories?" I bit my lower lip. "I know my grandmother suppressed my magic and took away my memories so I could blend in with the humans. But if my magic came back, could the rest of my memories come back, too?"Daphne nodded, giving me a sympathetic smile. "Maybe. 'Tis not for me to say. But Kalyssa, keep in mind that you were only four years old at the time of the attack. Many human children have no memories before that time. The fact that you even remember that is miraculous."I nodded, understanding. If the only memory I have of my family is of the day of the attack

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    "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

    "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

    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

    "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
