I chewed my bottom lip. Jesse was awesome and I didn’t want to let him down. I wasn’t sure what the rules were exactly for this sort of thing, but I didn’t want to lie to him when he’d been so nice to me.

I might as well come clean now. “Listen, I’m not sure if I’ll even pass the Luna Trials, but I’m only here because my Alpha is forcing me. I’m supposed to help his son through the games. The whole mate thing isn’t even on my radar. I didn’t come here to find a match.”

“Is that all?” Jesse blinked. Not the response I was expecting. “Half the girls here are in it for the money or to keep daddy from setting up an arranged match.”

“Who?” I sat up straighter, thirsty for some tea to be spilled.

“Stylist/client confidentiality.” He bopped me on the nose. “But as for the mate part, I’ve seen crazier things happen on the show. Let’s see what your wolf decides. You can trust your beast to protect your heart. And I’ll take care of your face.”

Jesse left the room with a swagger no normal being

    It also didn’t hurt that he pulled out my chair.Edith and Lilith and Chad were close, raised by Chad’s father and his mother who worked on shifter reform for the state of California. They were rich, rich. Like godly rich. His uncle dealt with buying and liquidating certain businesses, but seemed like the only sully to the Tulia name. And even then, nothing could be proven.I scooted the chair over a bit, keeping all of them in my line of sight like I’d be able to do anything if they pounced. “We talked about gift bags for the children’s hospital yesterday.”Ranger leaned back in his chair, still staring at me as he folded his arms across his chest. I felt exposed, naked under his intense gaze. I twisted the fork in my hand.“I was thinking we could make some games for them.” My voice came out too breathy. I shoved a piece of sausage into my mouth.The corner of Ranger’s lips quirked up as his wolf flashed in his eyes. Why couldn’t he stare at something else? My skin flushed with heat

    “What is it with you Alphas?” Aspen huffed as she marched into the hall. Her scent drifted by me, tantalizing and teasing, as I let the door swing shut.“What do you mean?”“I mean that you need to learn how to take no for a solid sentence.” She spun around, pointing her finger like she meant to lecture me.I bit down on my lip to hide the laughter that wanted to come out. Something told me it would not be well received. “You’re mistaken. I understand the word no. But I also know when to ignore it.”Her cheeks blushed that crimson color again, but this time from anger and not from shame. “You should never ignore when a woman says no.”“No?” I arched an eyebrow. “What if she says ‘no, don’t stop.’”“That’s followed by a second command.” Exasperated, she threw her hands in the air.I could do this all day. “It was a misuse of the word in the first place and should have been ignored.”“I…” She narrowed her eyes. “You’re screwing with me.”“Not at all,” I tried to make my voice sincere an

    I inhaled again, trying to channel some inner peace. “I really need your help.”“You need me.” His smile broadened. I wanted to smack it off his face.“Tomorrow for the humanitarian thing, the other candidates are giving a money donation to the hospital. Can you see if Alpha Derek has anything to contribute?”Trenton frowned and I turned away, already knowing the answer. And that, ladies and gentleman, is why we never ask for help.“I’m sorry,” he said. “You should have asked sooner. I just got him to extend a line of credit to Stef to make up for the clothes she didn’t get.”“What?” I leaned back, looking into Stef’s room as she lifted a garment bag over her shoulder.“Maybe you should sell one of your new dresses,” she offered, unhelpfully. “I’m sure your stylist friend will get you more.”*I spent all night calculating how much sick kids were worth to me and, yes, I felt like a jerk for it.I snuck downstairs after the resort was quiet and found the ATM, sacrificing more precious

    The hospital CEO walked in just as the camera crew finished placing us in the right lighting to orchestrate the perfect shot.“Mr. Stockett.” Edith greeted him first. “On behalf of Tulia Pack, please accept this donation.”She handed him a check and the old man’s eyes glazed over as he took in the amount. He professed his gratitude and shook her hand again. I clutched the sweaty wad of bills in my pocket.“On behalf of McCaw Pack, please accept this donation.” Fallon gave him another check, not bothering to raise her sunglasses as Mr. Stockett thanked her. I made the mistake of glancing at the amount and got a little nauseous.“And this donation is the start of a monthly allotment.” Cindy smiled at the cameras as she shook the CEO’s hand. “Frazier Pack will be in touch to set up funding to extend for the rest of the year.”Vomit rose up the back of my throat and I swallowed it down as the old man turned his grateful, tear-filled eyes to me.“Thank you for coming today.” He held out hi

    “I love it,” the human woman gushed as the cameraman leaned into the front of the van, showing her the feed on his screen. “This is gold. Look at those babies smile.”I grinned to myself, knowing exactly what she was talking about and still riding the high of the afternoon. There were so many giggles, so many little hands clinging to my wolf’s fur, and tons of sweet kisses given.“It was fun,” Fallon admitted.Yeah it was. My wolf settled down with a tired sigh.“I’m excited to see the footage.” Edith was smiling.“Molly might freak out, but this is a cinematic masterpiece,” the assistant kept talking. “I wish all of you would have shifted. Could you imagine the shot with five wolves stalking down the hall?”“I know why Opal didn’t shift, but why didn’t you?” Fallon asked Cindy.I glanced at Opal, wondering what else I was missing here.Cindy’s bright smile contrasted with the scowl still in her eyes. “I didn’t want our dear little Omega to feel alone.”Omega?I choked on my own spit.

    21Ranger“What is Ivan doing here?” Fallon slammed the door to the penthouse suite.“Hello to you too,” Ivan said. He looked at me for permission to leave and I waved him away. If I had the chance to avoid this conversation, I’d take it too.“I want answers.” Fallon crossed her arms over her chest. “And you owe them to me. Starting with, why did I have to keep Aspen occupied for the last hour?”“There was something I needed to take care of,” I said as Ivan hurried out of the room, away from the coming fight. Smart wolf.My sister looked to the door as it closed after him. “Something that required keeping Aspen busy?”I arched an eyebrow, waiting for her to come to her own conclusion.She smacked her hands over her face. “Oh Goddess, what did you and Ivan do?”“Security,” I explained.“Ranger, listen to me,” Fallon pleaded. “Aspen is not the kind of female who is going to appreciate a male going all stalker on her.”The words gave me pause, but I shrugged them off. “I don’t need her t

    Stop biting your nails. I like our claws sharp.I pulled my finger from my mouth.This was stupid. Why weren’t we allowed to watch the show if everyone else got to? I was about to call my papa and make him put the phone on speaker, but the thought of dealing with his commentary made me cringe.I didn’t want to see the show. I just wanted it to hurry up and end so I could get the hell out of here. This place was making me crazy. It felt like the walls were watching me. Or I might have been delusional because I wasn’t getting enough sleep.Yeah. That was probably it.*At least I was able to sneak in a quick nap because tonight was going to be a long one. My alarm buzzed, telling me it was time to head downstairs for the makeup session before they potentially kicked me out.The phone rang with an incoming call and I was confused to see the unknown number. Even more confusing was the connection made to Holton Prison.“How are you calling me this late?” I asked.“Bishop worked his magic o

    The video reels played on a drop-down screen beside Jay and I chuckled a little, seeing Stef scowling as she cleaned out cages at the animal shelter.“Don’t you dare laugh,” she growled next to me. “At least I didn’t kick one of the rat dogs.”“Someone kicked a dog?” My eyes popped wide open at the image on the screen.There were a few gasps from the contestants as we all looked at Karen whose face was flaming red.Jay tsked and the videos kept rolling.Warmth filled me as I saw the clip of that two-year-old boy going through chemo who snuggled my wolf on his bed and read me the red train pop-up book at least ten times.Totally worth it.“Contestants aren’t allowed to fully shift during the trials for the safety of our crew,” Jay explained to the cameras.Which was bullshit if you asked me. We were just as strong in human form and partially shifted, but I guess there was a little speciesism going on here.I twisted my hands in my lap, preparing for the worst.Jay smiled. “But the prod

    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

    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

    “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.
