*Tristan* We are nearly to the castle grounds, and I am ready to taste blood. I want to find Alpha Kane and rip his throat out, but then, I hear a voice I don’t know in my head that makes me slow down a bit. The other two Alphas that I’m running right alongside also slow down, and I’m wondering if
*Kelly*We certainly don’t have time to waste, but there’s nothing else to do but try to get the van fixed so we can get on our way. It seems to be the only vehicle these people have, and our utility vehicles were pretty smashed up in the crash.Especially the one with Ben and Liam.I know Liam’s wi
“You’re a nice lady,” she says.I smile and pat her hand, then I look over at Trevor, who has an unreadable expression on his face. Well, I might as well start helping now. “The first thing we need to deal with is these rules….”****Adam*Shelby and I have searched everywhere we can find in this la
*Mark* I don’t trust this Diana woman, but Tristan and Reece seem okay with her being the one to talk to us for Rose. I have no idea who she is, what her motivation is, or what she’s really trying to accomplish. But the other two are perfectly fine with it, so I’ll be out voted. I decide to keep m
*Eli* Everything is taking too long, including this walk to the garage. We’re all quiet as Brent, Sean, and I follow Eustace so we can get the van, which apparently is the only vehicle on the premises, working again. I don’t see any other way to get to Rose as soon as possible. I’m really not much
Eustace nods and leads me over to the Goddess-forsaken thing and points out how bad the suspension is, and I notice a lot more on my inspection. But I do think that if we just get the suspension figured out, we can take along a few more spare parts and probably make the trip. I hope. I start giving
*Rose* I follow along with Diana as she leads me down a dark hall, and it makes me nervous. It reminds me of the tunnels the others found in the walls of King Gene’s castle. It reminds me that I was dragged through a secret passage to get me out of the castle. I have vague memories of being wrapped
*Kelly* “Are you there?” asks Heather. I’ve just started talking to Eli in the mind-link, so I must have sort of drifted off in the middle of my conversation with Heather. But Eli has good news, so I need to focus. ‘This piece of shit just started,’ he’s saying. ‘Hurry up and get to the garage, a
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.
