“What if he wanted you to be alone?” I cried. “What if he asks for a challenge or whatever it is the guys are doing during the Alpha Games and it involves something with the prison? He could kill you, Trenton.”

And then where would I be?

Alpha Derek would never sign my release. My papa would waste away on Nuva Pack lands.

“Seriously? I thought you were smart. This isn’t like the old days with Alphas killing each other to take over more territory.” Trenton shook his head. “He’s obsessed with you. That’s all it was.”

“Obsessed with me?” My jaw dropped and my wolf purred her approval.

Trenton was delusional.

He was as good as dead.

We already knew someone wanted to kill me.

How was I going to keep both of us alive here on Mating Season?

Ranger

I exited out of the video feed on my laptop and sent a quick text to Ivan, telling him to meet me later. We hadn’t put cameras in the second bedroom and that was an oversight on my part. Thankfully, it was an easy fix.

I dragged my hand over my f

    “Are you ready for today?” Chad popped the collar of his polo-shirt as the doors to the elevator opened and we stepped in.“I was born ready.” I folded my arms over my chest, leaning back against the mirror inside and waiting for him to push the button for the lobby.He noticed what was happening as he reached for it and hesitated.There was a subtle shift in the air as he tensed, his finger hovering a few inches away from the L. It was a childish power play, but he’d moved so easily into it, I couldn’t help but want to win.Chad realized how stupid he looked and chuckled a little, letting the challenge roll off his shoulders even though I could see the anger reflected in his eyes through the mirror. “Let the Alpha Games begin.”Finally, both my wolf and I agreed. I clapped Chad on the back a little harder than necessary as the doors slid shut. “That’s why we’re here.”3Aspen“Is this seat taken?” Fallon didn’t wait for my answer as she sat next to me in the convention center. I stif

    “I’d rather deal with the popular vote than go through what they’re about to,” Fallon’s voice held a note of warning that made me shiver.“Is it really that bad?” I thought of Trenton, wondering if he’d measure up. Even if Ranger wasn’t out to kill him, Alpha Derek would still want my head if anything happened to his precious son.“Have you ever seen the games?” Fallon asked.“I caught the highlight reels.” I chewed my bottom lip, watching as Jay took center stage. I studied a bit more for this round, but it never seemed like enough and I was always playing catch up.Fallon chuckled as she patted my knee with sisterlike affection. “You’re in for a treat.”*“5, 4, 3, 2, 1…”“Good evening, viewers.” Jay smiled for the camera.“Good evening,” we called back from the stands although it was morning, but the people watching at home didn’t know that. It’d be night when the show aired on TV.“Twenty Luna contestants passed the trials and earned their spot on Mating Season thanks to our voter

    RangerLess than two weeks until the Worm Moon graced us with her presence and mating season would officially begin in the northern hemisphere. Already, I could feel the pull of the rut drawing out some of my baser instincts. Thinking about Aspen left me with a perpetual semi and my muscles felt tighter as if I needed to stretch. The countdown was on, reminding me of each second wasted not spent in the company of my mate convincing her to leave with me.She was already asleep. It was amusing to watch her curl into bed early each night. I’d have to regulate our wooing efforts to daylight hours if she kept up like this. Normally, these days would be spent with anxious young shifters talking to each other before their animalistic needs took control. I’d never been too worried about the impending rut because my wolf and I were on the same team most of the time, but my beast was anxious now in a way he’d never been before.I thought coming to the woods to check on my pack as they hung out

    I thought back through the list of things I’d done. The clothes. Getting her stylist out of debt. Protection. Admitting I was wrong and having my pack come out here on a last-minute notice.“I’m not that intense,” I said, looking to my pack for confirmation. None of them would meet my eyes, but I was used to this part of being an Alpha. It was difficult for any except the most dominant shifters to maintain eye contact for long. I still encouraged it even if they were uncomfortable. Everything in life was a lesson and the younger ones especially needed to learn to stand up for themselves.“This is going to go well.” My sister met my gaze and then rolled her eyes. “I can’t wait to see how you handle the speed dating tomorrow.”5Aspen“What are your hobbies?” I sat across the small dinette table from Trenton in my hotel room and tried to pretend I wanted to be here.He growled in frustration. “You know what I like to do.”Gritting my teeth through the fake smile plastered on my face, I

    The PA finished clipping on my microphone and I took a seat at one of the wrought iron bistro tables with two matching chairs that were set up in the garden. The other Luna contestants found their own tables. Fallon must have been late because I didn’t see her anywhere. I watched the other females passively, still waiting for someone to show themselves as my enemy. But like the last few days, most of them wouldn’t meet my eye. I had to wonder if the rumors were that I’d purposely done something to Opal.Whatever. Let them think what they wanted.I knew the truth.The days were getting a bit warmer with spring on its way and the cherry blossom trees planted around the rose hedges were blooming in earnest. Soft pinks and dusty white petals were in stark contrast to the clear blue skies above.I smoothed the pleats on the dress Jesse had picked out as I crossed my ankles under the table, ignoring the beads of sweat gathering in my bra. My wolf was pacing. I tried to breathe slowly to cal

    She laughed nervously, crossing her arms over her chest. “Even if the mountain lion was a shifter, I don’t think I’d want that kind of favor from someone like you.”“Someone like me?” I cocked my head to the side, watching the color drain from her face.The bell rang.“Alphas, please switch seats.”Aspen gave me a tight-lipped smile. “Your time is up.”It felt like we’d done this dance before. Tucker walked toward to the table. It took one glance to send him scurrying away.Anger simmered under Aspen’s skin as she turned her heated glare to me. “You’re breaking the rules.”That was cute.I laid my forearms on the table. “I’d do a lot more than break some stupid show’s rules if it meant spending time with you.”I wasn’t exactly trying to be smooth, but I didn’t expect her expression to completely shut down.“My apologies, Alpha. It must be nice not to adhere to the rules like the rest of us wolves have to do.”I blinked, taken aback. She would think that about me. I remembered the clas

    Ranger stared, confused. The intensity of his gaze made me hot all over. It was early spring for Goddess’ sake. Where was the breeze?“Will you ask me one of them?” He leaned back against the chair like he had all the time in the world. I guess if he could pay for it, he did.I glanced at the paper I’d already memorized, trying to give myself a second to calm my racing heart. All these questions were dumb. What was his hobby? Killing people? He couldn’t even answer what he did for fun.“What’s your idea of a perfect mate?” I blurted out before I could think it through. I didn’t want to know. Not really, seeing as how I could never measure up to some…“You.” His tone left no room for argument.It was so cheesy, I had to laugh. “You don’t even know me.”“Why do you think I’m on this date with you?” he quipped.I shook my head in disbelief, looking around at the other contestants who were talking with the cameras filming them. “This isn’t a real date.”“No, it’s not.” Ranger’s deep voice

    At Molly’s demand, Ivan escorted me to the conference room. I was still flustered from Ranger’s presence and my wolf was acting goofy like an eager pup.He’s freaking hot.Yeah, you’ve said that a few times.I glanced at Ivan, embarrassed that he could probably smell the scent of my response to Ranger still clinging to my skin. “So… Did you draw the short stick or something to get stuck on babysitting duty for me?”His lips quirked, just a little, making a tiny crack in his otherwise stone and scarred face as he pushed open the door. “I requested this detail, Luna.”I brushed off his weird comment, enjoying the small win. He probably just took his job seriously. “Right. Well, it’s good to have you around. Never know when a piece of cake or cherry pie might try to take me out.”Ivan’s jaw clenched. “I swear on my life, that won’t happen again.” His deep voice echoed down the hall to the conference room, making me even more nervous.And he completely missed my joke.Admittedly, it wasn’

    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.
