I shake my head and take it. With a quick sip, I dislodge the sour fragment. “I’m fine, thank you.” I am still looking at them like they are each a different version of mess–probably because they are. It does cross my mind, though, that there are only three of them here with me, and I don’t like th
*Tristan* I watch Rose’s expression and start to panic because that’s exactly what I think she’s starting to do. As soon as Trevor says that he doesn’t know where Eli is, her eyes go wide, and she starts breathing funny. The rest of the Alphas seem to pick up on her panic as well. “Darlin’,” Reec
Rose looks up at me pleadingly. “I promise, little flower,” I say, “that I’ll be right back. I’ll let Reece and Mark handle finding Eli, and I’ll come back here and sit with you. I’ll know just as much about what’s happening with Eli, and when the other Alphas find him, I’ll let you know as soon as
*Rose*The way Tristan is looking at me when he says, “Well, it’s just you and me now, little flower,” I know exactly what he’s thinking. He is making those amorous eyes at me, and I feel an ache begin to form between my legs as my pulse races.But then I remember I’m lugging around four kids, and a
*Kelly*Knowing that Rose is okay is a huge relief, and I’m glad that Tristan is with her keeping her safe. I can’t believe that idiot Adam can’t even manage to hold it together for a few minutes to guard a pregnant woman. I wonder what will happen when Shelby gets pregnant. He’ll lose his mind for
“I—I’m sorry, Your Majesty,” Adam says. “Miss Rose is constantly guarded.”“Well, my men saw the Alphas leaving, or at least some of them,” says Gene. “So who the fuck is guarding her now?”“Alpha Tris—” Adam stops himself mid-word, realizing the mistake he’s made.My blood boils, and it’s all I can
*Tristan* Rose is looking at me with a confused expression on her face as she puzzles over my question. “Cora?” she repeats. “Who the hell is Cora?” I nod, not surprised that she doesn’t know who I’m talking about. I didn’t know who the girl was either until a recent conversation I had with Mark.
I do my best to smash myself up against the wall, as if I will somehow blend in and become invisible. While a human probably wouldn’t be able to see me in the shadows, any wolf would be able to, I bet. Even one as old and nonsensical as Gene. I see a familiar face looking at me, wide-eyed, and then
I look at Shelby. “Shelby… why?” She looks like she’s about to burst, and she finally spits it out. “Because I’m pregnant!” My eyes go wide, and I want to grab her and jump up and down, but I don’t want to squish Reeva, so I do a milder equivalent of that, which involves one arm and bouncing more
Rose It feels strange going back to Castle Dark Forest, and it’s going to feel even weirder being there again. It’s been so long since I first arrived there for the stupid contest… well, I guess without that contest, I would have never met my Alphas, so I suppose I won’t call it stupid anymore. I
Eli seems only half-convinced, and once Kelly and this guy are finally separated, he clears his throat.“I’m going to need the name of the guy who just sucked face with my sister,” he says firmly. “And I need to know where you’re from, and whether you have a criminal record, and—”Kelly slaps Eli’s
RoseI can’t believe how much the Goddess has blessed me. I remember all the times I was hunched over on the floor of the sewage plant trying to force myself to breathe through my mouth to avoid the stench. It didn’t work very well. I also remember all those lonely nights in my high school years whe
After a moment, I remember and quickly free him from the rest of his clothes. He pulls my nightgown over my head and tosses it exactly where he thought it should go and then lays me on the bed, All I’m wearing now is a tiny red thong. He stands at the foot of the bed and takes me in. “Damn,” he mur
Mark It’s my turn to spend the night with Rose, and I can hardly wait. It is a little odd being in this position, sharing my mate with four other men, but now that we have our situation settled, I realize I wouldn’t want it any other way. I’m carrying flowers as I go into her room. I think she’s p
“No, little flower,” says Tristan.The smile on his face and twinkle in his eye made my heart skip a beat.“He’s not allowed anywhere near our precious little pups,” he clarifies. “Just the diapers. Dirty diapers, all day long… that’s his new job! We’ll watch him every second.”“But you don’t have t
RoseI love spending time out in the garden, and now I’m doing it with four little bundles of joy. I’ve heard that expression so many times, but now that I’m a mother, I really understand just how much joy those little bundles can bring. And with all the fear of losing them that I’ve experienced ove
“No.” Alpha Alice crosses her hands across her chest. “I’m staying out of this. If these Alphas want to take you, so be it. I know how the contest was supposed to go, and if one of them had a male baby, then that will be the next Alpha King. I’m not getting on their bad side.”“Appalling!” I shout.
