*Rose*Alpha Kane rushes off, leaving me alone with just the woman who was in here earlier. She is staring at me with a puzzled look on her face, and I want to tell her she should go help with the invasion, but I am under the impression that she has been assigned to guard me.At least it’s her and n
*Eli* It would be faster to heal if I stayed in wolf form, but the tiny seats in these utility vehicles aren’t exactly built for four legs. Since my hand is still injured, I’m stuck riding shotgun while Kelly drives. And I wish she’d go faster. She’d insisted that I eat, but I didn’t want to waste
The landscape flies by at a dizzying pace, with specks of green blending into the deep browns of tree trunks as the smell of pine and cedar fills the air. I close my eyes, needing a moment to regroup inside my head before we meet up with our troops. Images of Rose flow through my mind—lingering on o
*Rose* “Where are we going?” I ask Diana as she leads me out of the room where Kane had intended for me to stay toward the sound of troops shouting and running outside. I think they must be preparing to shift in order to go fight against the Alphas, and I don’t want to go that way. It seems dangero
*Eli* A sharp pain is pounding in the top of my skull. In front of me I see nothing but tree bark, so I try to turn my head, but the pain radiates even stronger. I’m guessing I hit the tree head-on, so I’m pretty amazed that I’m even awake. I move what I last remember to be my broken paw, but it’s
*** I wake up again, and this time I’m in a room of some sort, and now my head hurts even worse. I hope they didn’t actually stab me with that dirty needle since I passed out on my own, although I’m afraid that’s what they did to Kelly. I look down to see that I’m wearing some tattered, dirty swea
*Rose* “What the fuck are you two doing in my office?” Alpha Kane bellows as he comes charging in through the door. “L-looking for you!” Diana says quickly. “We had an important piece of information to tell you, and Miss Rose needed to find you immediately. But obviously, you’re not in here, so we
*Tristan* Reece, Mark, and I have shifted and are running full speed toward Stephen’s castle. There is no way any of us are going to sit patiently on a military vehicle and wait to arrive by truck. No, we’re going in fast, and we’re going in now. We’re surrounded by our best warriors. Though some
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.
