As River swung open the door, I could see the surprise on his face when he spotted me.

Honestly, I was a bit taken aback myself for showing up at my older brother's place.

On a Sunday evening, no less.

This wasn’t really my style. Sure, we were a tight-knit family, but there were certain times during the week when we all intentionally took a break from each other.

Social media was the biggest nuisance out there.

Though his daughter would probably disagree, as she was all about it.

"Did the world end, or did your house explode?" River joked, chuckling as he stepped back to let me in. For a guy who usually donned only the finest handmade suits from his Italian tailor at work, he looked surprisingly laid-back.

Dressed in jeans and a Chicago Bulls hoodie.

At least he had good taste.

"Or maybe you just couldn't resist my fabulous company from yesterday," he quipped.

"You, the construction worker? Not quite. I just wanted to pick your brain," I replied, shutting the door behind

    J U L I A NRiver stayed quiet while I downed my drink, then topped off my glass. "What’s up? Is it the anger from the meeting?""Nope. It’s because a woman I’m really into was nearly attacked. I just reacted. I almost took out those two guys right in front of her.""You acted without thinking?""Yeah.""And did you shift?"I sighed and shook my head. "Not completely, but I was close. I could feel my wolf itching to break free. The urge for blood was overwhelming. I could see those guys' veins pulsing and wanted to tear them apart." I barely recognized my own voice.He rubbed his jaw and looked away. "We can’t let that happen. We’ve come too far and have too much at stake. Whatever’s going on, we need to stay focused on our daily lives and our beliefs. I’m starting to sound like Calix. I don’t care about their rules anymore.""They’ve kept us safe and out of trouble.

    S U M M E RLife had been a bit chaotic, and I felt that intensity magnified over the past few years.I was content with the path I had chosen, yet the echoes of my past were always lurking.Perhaps everyone needed those reminders to avoid making the same errors again.At least I had moved on from my old life and the guy who tried to hold me back, seeking new adventures.Still, it came with its share of headaches.I kept seeing the wolf card and let out a sigh. I really shouldn’t have stepped into that shop.Lumia's response was still heavy on my mind. The whole thing felt surreal, to say the least.Here I was, a scientist, and I couldn’t come up with a solid explanation.I knew I wouldn’t find any answers on a Sunday night.I knocked on the turquoise door of the charming Cape Cod house, feeling a bit hesitant as I waited.

    S U M M E RMy little minion took her sweet time getting ready for bed. When I walked in, she was still chattering away, holding out one of three different books for us to read."That one, Mommy! I love alligators. And wolves. Do we have any books about wolves?"Only my daughter would choose an alligator book over a cheerful dog or a cuddly teddy bear. But wolves?"I don't think we have any wolf books, but how about a doggie story?"She huffed and rolled her eyes. "Not the same."I couldn't help but think about the autopsy and the tarot card. No, I wasn't going there. I didn't believe in that stuff. Nope, not me."Alligators it is. Scoot over, sweetie." I dimmed the lights just how she liked them and climbed onto her bed. She had picked out her own comforter as a gift after our move. Deep down, she was a little princess but desperately wanted to be grown-up.At least her room still showed her age for now. I had a feeling that wouldn’t last long.As I began reading, she rested her head

    J U L I A NWolfen Industries was operating smoothly, with offices, production sites, and dealers spread across various cities and rural areas in the U.S. We were also in talks with some European diplomats, but it seemed like Italy was really pushing back against our entry into the market.We had a meeting lined up with a group of Italians to try and ease the situation, but I wasn't too optimistic about it.From what I gathered, they were genuinely worried that we would capture an even larger share of the market than we already had. Should I feel bad for them? Not a chance.I had earned a reputation as one of the toughest businessmen in the field, and for good reason.The two production facilities located between Cambridge and Chicago were the original sites established by my great-grandfather ages ago. Although they had been upgraded with top-of-the-line equipment, they still retained their original charm.This included a set of offices on the ground floor of the very first building.

When she took off her sunglasses, it was clear she hadn’t had much rest.“Gentlemen, let me grab some coffee, and then we’ll head to the boardroom.”Today’s meeting was supposed to focus on selecting a new board member.Since we hadn’t gone public yet, we still had control over our board composition. With Tom Jones passing away from a heart attack, we needed to fill the fifth seat. He had been a dedicated member, living a long and fulfilling life.His death wasn’t unexpected; after all, we’re not invincible and can fall victim to anything from food poisoning to tragic accidents, illnesses, and organ failures.Nonetheless, it was a significant loss for us.Currently, our options were limited, and we needed to find a replacement quickly, especially with the upcoming votes on European opportunities.

    J U L I A NCalix had no interest in hearing about the legends or the methods that had taken generations to shape our way of life. He despised the mandatory training, skipping more classes than he actually attended. Because of his refusal to adhere to the rules, despite being born an Alpha, his rank was demoted to a lower status. This marked the beginning of his disdain for who we were and where we stood."Supreme beings capable of slaying both wolves and humans," River recalled the ancient tales our mother had insisted we listen to.Admittedly, the old folklore about our curse to roam the earth as hybrids since the Viking era was hard to digest. It felt akin to a ghost story or a horror film crafted by humans.From my scientific understanding, we were created like any other creature, but we had found a way to evolve."What are we discussing?" Parker inquired as Calix continued to seethe.I leaned back in my chair, the thought of our predicament feeling like a personal nightmare. "Wer

    S U M M E RFear.I felt a sense of numbness, a stark contrast to the emotions I had experienced the previous night. Sleep eluded me, just as I had anticipated.It’s hard to rest when all you can envision are sharp teeth. No, that’s a vampire. Werewolves have canines, right? Or are they also called fangs?Massive ones.And claws.Long and razor-sharp.And fur. A lot of rough fur. I had a sample to prove it. I should know; I had the DNA. I could run tests, and I had, though I worried the samples might have been compromised.For someone who usually excelled at focusing, my thoughts were scattered. Perhaps I had consumed too much coffee.I had made the mistake of researching wolf capabilities online before heading to bed. They were formidable beings, but they didn’t come back from the dead.“So, the police were here?” Todd inquired. He was one of my two assistants, alongside Daphne, my computer and 3-D specialist.

Honestly, I could use a new car anyway."That's nonsense, and you can't wiggle out of this so easily. You agreed to the date. Remember?""I was... pressured."

He was given a special honor in creating a hybrid. My scientific mind has to wonder why. Oh, yes. I guess my identity could be a secret? Maybe your great council was told or had premonitions of the fact werewolves would try and destroy the world.”Summer’s voice was filled with a half dozen emotions as well as anger.I tossed the phone onto my desk and closed my eyes. Had my mother known a mate had been pre-selected for me? Had the council members? I knew the answer.Yes, to both. Should I be angry? Likely. Did the situation make more sense? Yes.

I deserve to know who and what I am.”Raising my voice wasn’t something I usually did with either my mother or my father. But… With everything I’d been through over the last week or so, I believed I was owed the single opportunity.She cleared her throat. “You are part Wolfen.”There it was. Right out in the open.I couldn’t deny it any longer, no matter how many scientific aspects I attached to it.“Why didn’t you tell me?”“Because we weren’t allowed to do so until you were ready.”“Ready? For what?” I almost missed my turn, my mind so damn foggy I could be living in London.“For when you took the throne.”Now I was heading straight to hell. “Throne? As in some kind of kingdom?”“In a manner of speaking.” Her tone was contrite or full of fear. I wasn’t certain which.“Okay, I’m a wolf and I’m a queen. Awesome start to my day.

My pussy was still aching from the rough round of sex, but I wanted more.I craved everything the man could and would give me.“That’s tough around you, little wolf,” Julian said in a low and husky voice, easily finding the bedroom in my tiny house. Once inside, he struggled to close the door without slamming it.He’d ruined my panties and I had a feeling that was a habit I’d need to break him of. As soon as he tossed me onto the bed, he yanked down my skirt, pitching it aside within seconds.His needs were insatiable, more so than before.

I was no longer the kind of nerdy girl who’d adored romance, but had given up on finding the right one.No matter how I played it in my mind, he was the right one.

I know that upsets you.”She rubbed my face. “I’m not certain it does any longer.”“That’s good to hear.” Her arousal was increasing.“Your eyes are glowing. Do they always glow in the moonlight?”“I honestly don’t know.”“I think they’re perhaps the most beautiful pair of eyes I’ve ever seen.”“Do you want to talk about my eyes?” I was still burning for her, even more so now.“Not really,” she mused.“Good, because I need to devour you.”Her lips parted as if in a blatant invitation, which I took.

But I do have a dishwasher.”Only after finishing washing the last plate and placing it in the dishrack did I turn around to face her. The shorter skirt accentuated her long, tan legs, the flimsy tee shirt unable to hide her fully aroused nipples.I yanked the dish towel into my fingers, wiping my hands as I allowed my gaze to fall. “I thought I’d keep myself busy while you were getting Britney to bed.”Summer walked further into the room, taking a deep breath as she did so. “You are quite the hit with my daughter.”“I am, huh?” I returned the towel to the spot where she’d hung it over the stainless rung on the microwave and leaned against the

Luck was on my side for a moment, and I found a sturdy piece of wood. But I was running out of time. In a last-ditch effort to escape, I took off in a different direction, sprinting as fast as I could. I didn’t even notice I was heading back toward the driveway until the bright lights came into view. I felt a wave of relief, but it quickly faded when I turned around. I had seen that video too many times—the guy coming back to life. The blurry footage had shown me enough horror and fascination as I watched him grow larger, his spine twisting. But those white lights wrapped around the trees gave me a chilling realization.I could no longer hide behind science.The high-pitched howl
