My beast thumped his tail as she smiled at me.

“Are you ready to go?”

I finished off my beer and tossed it into the trashcan, moving around Andrea as she tended the bar. Crossing the hardwood floors, I met the owner of the bar halfway, then scooped her up into my arms. “You missed my show.”

I didn’t care if I sounded pathetic; Fallon was the one who insisted I put on a festive performance each Thursday night for the month of December. “We need more fun in this territory,” she’d said. “Make them want to stick around.”

Fallon was a tough Luna, but she had a vision. It was something beautiful to watch it come alive. Because that’s what she’d done. Slowly but surely, she’d brought more life into this pack.

A public playground sat by the new elementary school. She’d recruited some small businesses and created a boutique shopping center right outside the resort. Shifters were coming back and bringing their families with them. Especially now that Chase and Kimberly Williams were running the

    I reached up and turned the TV off manually, scratching the back of my head as the room quieted and eight pairs of eyes looked my way. “Can someone tell me what’s going on?”“Wasn’t he on the show?” The coyote shifter looked at Aspen. “I swear I saw him there.”“You can be on the show and not have a clue what’s going on. Ask me how I know.” Aspen giggled, leaning back so her head rested against Ranger.He affectionately squeezed her shoulder as he pulled out his phone and scrolled. “It’s true. They finally got enough dirt to bring her in. Took them long enough. It’s been almost three months since our settlement against the network.”“Thank the Goddess.” Aspen sighed. “Wait, this doesn’t mean we have to go back to court, does it?”Ranger pocketed his phone. “No. They have her on a technicality and the feds are involved with the interstate gambling. Jesse’s testimony should be all they need. It’s bigger than us now.”We all glanced at the cheetah shifter. Jesse laid back on the leather

    Aspen“The 7th annual Mating Season is shaping up to be another cutthroat competition.” Jay Renfro, America’s favorite wolf shifter TV show host, smiled at the camera. “We’ve got the latest rumors for the anticipated Alpha lineup and you’re not going to want to miss–”Click.“Papa! I’m home.” I tossed the remote onto the side table next to his ratty and well-loved recliner.No answer.I listened for the sounds of water running or him rustling around in the back of our little two-bedroom trailer. The house was quiet. But the door to the workshop outside squeaked on its hinges.Damn that stubborn old wolf.After marching across the yellowed and peeling linoleum floor of our little kitchen, I threw open the screen door and stormed through the yard.“You’re supposed to be resting,” I growled. My fist beat against the plywood door to the workshop, rattling the chain he just locked. The Polaris ATV was parked outside and the scent of gasoline still hung heavy in the air.Which meant my papa

    2AspenI chewed my bottom lip, trying to find a parking spot for our old truck in the lot of Duke’s Bar. The building was the only place big enough to host pack events besides the prison, but the lot was already almost full. It wasn’t the urgency in Alpha Derek’s tone that had me worried. It was that he never bothered to call all the lower ranking wolves to meetings and I usually avoided all pack functions like the plague. My position in the prison kept me from having to interact with a lot of my pack on a day-to-day basis.And I really didn’t like this pack.I finally found a spot near the sagebrush in the field across the street from the bar.“Leave it. I can walk.” My papa growled as I moved to get his wheelchair out of the bed of the pickup truck. I didn’t bother to argue.But I did frown when he straightened his shoulders as much as he could muster, leaning on the cane to support the weight of a missing leg. I knew it pained him. I could hear his wolf howling and itching some ni

    3Aspen“She can’t go,” Stefanie kept talking as the three of us stood at the business end of the bar with Alpha Derek behind the counter. “Look at how she dresses.”I glanced down at my overalls and tattered sneakers, preparing to defend myself, and closed my mouth. I wouldn’t say we were in agreement, but I wasn’t about to argue Stef’s point if it got me out of this.“Silence,” Alpha Derek commanded, rubbing his temples. Like he was the one with the building headache. I was inching toward migraine territory over here. Screw him and his commands…My wolf sat back on her haunches, smirking. I mentally kicked myself. Do. Not. Challenge. The. Alpha.Alpha Derek raised an eyebrow as if he could hear my inner dialogue and I panicked that he was going to drag me back to his office for another lesson. But he only seemed mildly amused at whatever vibes he was getting from me as he turned to Stefanie. “I’ll give your father the pack credit card. Take Aspen to buy new clothes.”Stefanie deflat

    4Ranger“It’s Friday night.” My Beta, Mattox, stared at me as if that was supposed to mean something.“And?” I kept packing my suitcase, motioning for him to hand me the slacks hanging in the mahogany armoire. It, like the rest of the dark wood furniture in my bedroom, was picked out by some designer my sister hired when I took over the McCaw Pack as Alpha.Mattox let out a frustrated growl as he grabbed the pants from the hanger. “It’s the first Friday in Goddess knows how long that you aren’t working. We should be out celebrating,”“Celebrating what?” I folded the slacks and zipped up the suitcase.“I don’t know.” He ran a hand through his hair, messing it up further, as he shrugged. He took that hipster clothing style to a whole new level with his flannel shirt and washed-out jeans. Looking at him now with his trimmed beard and bright blue eyes, you couldn’t tell he was a prized cage fighter back in the day besides the one bump to his nose that hadn’t been set before it healed.I

    Someone who had the POA in my name.“Don’t kill the messenger.” Mattox rocked on his heels as I put the suitcase on the ground.I opened the back of my Jeep with the key fob, groaning when I saw her suitcases already loaded in the trunk and taking up most of the space. “Fallon, we talked about this.”My sister rolled her head back on the reclined seat to look at me as the overhead lights flicked on. Her bored expression told me exactly how this conversation would go. “You talked. I didn’t listen.”I turned to growl at Mattox.He put his hands in the air. “You can blame the rest of the pack. They’re worried. If you aren’t taking a team with you, at least take Fallon.”“See? We voted.” The power seat hummed as she pressed the button, slowly moving it into the upright position. My annoying little sister checked her reflection in the visor mirror. “Let’s hit the road. We don’t want to be late for our debut on Mating Season.”5AspenMy papa left the house before the sun came up, leaving a

    “Oh my Goddess, I can’t do this.” I stared at the screen in my office. It was the only computer in this prison I had access to that wasn’t on a secured internet.“I’m more concerned with the fact that you’ve never watched the show.” Clara’s small booty was perched on my desk atop the testing materials I had laid out for the week.All this work was going to waste.It never was my dream job anyway.“Hey Teach. You know it’s Saturday, right?” Bishop called out. The guard on duty across the hall locked up the barber shop.“Is he good with you?” the guard asked.I nodded, waving him over.Bishop, the grizzly shifter-slash-barber, was one of my best students. Not academically. He’d failed his GED test four times already. But he was a sweetheart and worked really hard, especially when candy incentives were involved. Ironically, he was in prison for holding up an ice cream parlor.Yes, it was cliché.But I wasn’t going to tell the giant beast of a man with biceps bigger than my head that.Bis

    I shoved my clothes into a plastic bag that I’d grabbed from the commissary and shifted just outside the prison fence where the sagebrush dotted the barren field. My jaw elongated and bones broke, spine cracked and nail beds splintered, as each part of my human body rearranged into the anatomy of my wolf.It wasn’t as painful as it sounded.Finally. She shook out her brown coat and picked up the bag with her teeth, eager to have control of our physical form.Ears twitching, she set off on a trot through the open high desert. The chilling late winter winds blew down from the mountains and whipped through her fur as she picked up speed, chasing the illusion of freedom and enjoying the earthy scents.I settled down with my thoughts, letting her take point. She was so much stronger and more focused than me. Yes, we were both fighters, but she didn’t have these human doubts holding her back.And she wouldn’t be expected to perform on some human show.Mating season is mating season. My wolf

    “Well. I didn’t think…” Tim looked around the room as he stuttered. “She just…”“Come on, man.” Bryant laughed as he clapped the old man on the back. “Did you lose a nut or two back there?”“I need you to leave. Now.” John growled.Tim scrambled out the door.Bryant sighed as he followed him. “We’re going to have to burn this table.”“Out.” John’s Alpha strength washed over me, giving my wolf a heady rush as it mixed with my own power.I gave him a seductive smile, practically tasting his pheromones and desire pulsing in the air. “What seems to be the problem, Alpha?”“That was so fucking sexy.” He moved me over so I was standing in front of him, spreading my thighs apart with his knee. I was bare under the makeshift dress I’d made from his flannel shirt.Bare and already aching with need.His hand slid up between my legs and he groaned at what he found waiting there. “How did I get so lucky?”“Ask the Goddess,” I teased, gasping as he pushed me back so I lay flat on the table.He mad

    I placed her scent as soon as I’d shifted and entered the lodge through the back door. The widowed Luna of Williams Pack. It was only a matter of time before she showed up. I pulled on one of John’s flannel shirts from the hooks in the mudroom and cinched it at the waist with one of his belts, grabbing my spare thigh-high black boots from the mat in the hall.Reminder to self:Leave more clothes easily accessible here.Especially if we’d be hosting representatives from the neighboring packs at random times.“Fallon.” John smiled at me as he came out of the bathroom. His eyes traveled hungrily up my thighs as I zipped my boots.“Later.” I put my hand in his. “Do we know what Janice Williams wants?”“Probably something about the debt from the show and my bargain with Chase.” A menacing aura pulsed around John that made my beast purr in delight. We hadn’t seen him in his dominant stance yet. He’d been mostly cinnamon roll around me and the pack. But this version of him was definitely get

    “Are you going to let your Alpha in on these plans?” I asked as I tossed the towel into the laundry basket.“There will be signs,” she said mysteriously.And like a love-sick pup, my beast wagged his tail, ready to do whatever she asked.“Come on.” Fallon grabbed my hand and dragged me off the bed.“Where are we going?” I hobbled after her, realizing I’d probably be doing this for the rest of my life. Which didn’t sound all that bad.Fallon pulled open the front door as the cool spring breeze entered the warmth of the cottage, blowing a gust of her intoxicating scent around me. The morning sun shone down on her raven-black hair, giving her an ethereal glow. Her fangs descended through her smile.“My wolf needs her apology now.”11FallonBits of green sprouted through patches of muddy snow that crunched under my wolf’s paws as she raced through the quiet forest. The morning sun peeked down past the branches overhead. My beast’s lungs burned deliciously with the exertion. She was fast–

    With my hands full of plastic bags, I jumped out of the truck onto the dirt road to the lakeside resort. I had a feeling she’d like it here. Her own little safe haven, especially when it was off-season and the pack stayed inland where the hunting was better and the air was less cold. Come summer, they’d all be out fishing and swimming and soaking up the sun. Fallon could have full range of the lodge then.I tapped into our mental connection, not wanting to disturb her if she was sleeping. Her emotions washed over me. The anger. The loneliness. It squeezed at my heart.My beast whined as I sat down on the front porch, putting the bags beside me.“What’s your favorite type of candy?” I rested my arms on my knees and waited. Back at the show, I’d gone through so many questions and she never answered. But maybe, just maybe…“Dark chocolate with salted caramel.”My beast howled his triumph as I looked into the plastic bag. Hopefully milk chocolate with caramel filling was a close second. O

    “But you won’t because, despite your tough exterior, you aren’t a complete asshole.”“I…” I didn’t know what to say to that.“Listen, I know you and Ranger had a shit life. And we’re wolves. We’re used to fighting for what we get. But it’s different when it comes to you and your mate–especially one who is the Alpha. He’s going to protect you. It’s in his nature. You don’t have to fight every battle alone anymore.”“But–”“No buts. It’s biology, girl. Your wolf could only be tamed by the male strong enough to be an equal, but being equal doesn’t mean you do the same type of work all the time. He’s supposed to protect you in his way. You’re supposed to protect him in yours. He’ll take care of you when you’re sick and when you can’t do something. Just like you’ll do the same when he falls short. You don’t have to prove your worth anymore. If you did, then he wouldn’t be your perfect mate.”“What if fate got it wrong and he’s not perfect?” I swallowed down the lump of emotion in my throat

    I shook my head. “How did you do it?”“Do what?”“One second everyone was talking shit. The next, they were eating out of the palm of your hand.”“Not everyone,” she huffed.“More than half the pack.” I started to unbutton my shirt, loving the hungry look in her eyes. “It was magic. Princess magic.”“I’m serious.” She licked her bottom lip as I dropped my shirt to the ground. “Don’t call me that.”“If you want me to stop, I’m going to need your passcode.”Her fingers traced the neckline of her shirt. “Passcode? I prefer the light system for safe words. Green to keep going. Yellow means slow down. Red is–”“Damn it, woman.” I groaned as I held my cock through my jeans with one hand and waved her phone with the other. “Your passcode.”Her eyes narrowed. “Give that to me.”“Are you hiding something?” I teased.She better not be.“It’s none of your business if I am.” A dismissive tilt of her chin had my beast growling.“I think everything about you is my business.” I caught her by the ank

    “But the dams sure think so.” Aiden nodded.“It’s not your fault though.” Alice patted my hand. “You can’t help being a pampered city girl.”Did she just call us…I guess she did.I burst into laughter, laughing even harder at the horrified expressions on their faces. This was great. More than great.The O’Neil Pack thought I’d left my comfortable position in McCaw, with my own house where I made all my own rules and had more money than I knew what to do with, for a life like this?They were all high as a kite.8JohnIt took a massive amount of liquor for shifters to get and stay drunk, but that didn’t stop the O’Neil Clan from testing the limits. Pitchers of beer and jugs of homemade apple pie moonshine were passed around the picnic tables out front of the lodge. The far tables were laden with potluck casseroles and Shirley’s kitchen creations.Young pups came running through the maze of adults, causing chaos as I searched the crowd, looking for Fallon.
