Quinton bursts into harsh laughter and releases my hair. “Are you serious? Felicity doesn’t know shit about the shadow realm or how to use the magic. The small amount of magic she has access to isn’t enough to even properly kill my men. I made them with my stone. I’m master of the shadow’s power. She is nothing.”

I shrug, swallowing down the coppery taste of blood that still coats my mouth. “I don’t know, I’d say she’s something, since you’re clearly scared of what she’s capable of. If you weren’t, you wouldn’t have locked me away and tried to pry her plans from me when you thought I worked for her.”

Quinton growls in fury, then hauls back for another punch.

I let my body go loose and move with the force of the blow this time, lessening the impact. My captors hold me tight, which keeps me from falling to the floor. Nausea roils in my stomach and more blood wells in my mouth. Still, I force a laugh, just to piss him off more.

“Lock her back up,” the alpha snarls. “I’ll decide what to d

    AmoraI open my eyes in bed, blinking into the soft darkness of my motel room.Something woke me—some noise or movement. I sit up, the blankets falling away from me, then shiver as I realize I’m naked.Frost stands in the corner, his pale eyes glittering. He’s focused on me, his body vibrating with barely restrained tension. A pastel desert print rests on the wall over his head, though it’s watery and insubstantial. More like the suggestion of a painting than the actual thing. Frost’s tattoos wave gently over his skin, just as insubstantial in the darkness. We stare at each other as headlights pass the window and illuminate the sharp angles of his face. Chiseled like granite.We’ve already done this, I think, confused. The room in Oscura, when I woke up to him watching me right before the shadow attacked.Although, I wasn’t naked at the time.I glance around, looking for the shadow that almost killed us both through the poison, but it’s nowhere to be seen. Movement passes in my periph

    “Shit!” I roll to the side, slamming into the bar-covered wall right as the shadow’s arm-like tendril stabs into the mattress where I’d been laying only seconds before.Before the shadow can untangle itself from the blankets, I tuck and roll around it, hitting the floor on my feet. I don’t have much room to move in this tiny cage, but I dance away, putting my back to the bars as I glance wildly around, like a weapon will have magically appeared while I fucking slept.The only things in this cell beside me and the shadow are the piss bucket and the blanket. I crouch and grab the handle of the bucket, thankful the old lady came back and dumped it after Quinton’s visit earlier. I swing it wide at the shadow as it twists around and darts toward me..The bucket goes right through it.Fuck me. God fucking dammit!Even a weapon can’t help me now. This isn’t my first rodeo with these things, and it appears that just like the last two times, I have no ability to fight back against these formle

    MalixA familiar screamof rage barrels through my dreams.I wake up in the space of a split second and rocket out of bed, still half asleep even as adrenaline surges through me. I’m on my feet before I’m even fully awake, because I know that scream. I’d know it anywhere, even in my fucking sleep, apparently.A second scream draws me into instant alertness. The sound is faint, but it pierces through me like a knife.Amora.I break into a sprint, slamming through my bedroom door and into the living room.I’m coming.Kian and Frost emerge from their rooms right on my heels. I know, somehow, that they heard her too—even though it shouldn’t be possible for any of us to hear her this far on the outskirts of the village and far away from the jail. I can guess maybe it’s a remnant of connection left over from the broken mate bond, or maybe our hearing has just gotten more sensitive as time has gone on. But the truth is, it doesn’t make any sense.None of us say a word, nor do we bother stoppi

    She slams into me at full speed, and the two of us go sprawling. I hit the bars, taking her full weight against my belly. All the air bursts from my lungs, but that’s the least of my worries as Amora’s head bounces painfully off the bars.I struggle to get my legs beneath me and watch in horror as she slumps to the floor—unconscious.The shadow unfolds from beneath the cot, looming over us both. It grows wider. Taller. More menacing.Then Frost snatches at its back and tosses it viciously from the cell.I’m on my feet in a split second, sailing over Amora to put my body between her and the shadow. The thing tumbles into the aisle outside the cell and ducks as Kian launches an attack.Then it races for the open door again.We don’t let it get far. Frost and Kian descend on the bastard with unmatched speed. Some part of me understands that they’re furious, too. Angry because of the way the shadow attacked Amora with an intent to hurt her. Not a fair fight, at all.I pile on with my brot

    AmoraMy former matesall react as Quinton’s booming voice cuts through the jail.I may be beat to shit, bruised all over, and dizzy from a possible concussion, but even my dazed ass can sense the shift of tension in the room.Quinton’s muscular shoulders are so wide he takes up nearly the entire doorway. I watch him through the bars of my cell as he steps into the cabin that functions as his pack’s jailhouse, his expression grim.Malix unfolds from the floor and turns to fully face his alpha. I get a whiff of Malix’s sunshine and fresh air scent, and it pierces through me, reminding me of how comfortable and safe I felt in his arms only a moment before. Until reality set in.The reality that I shouldn’t feel anything for him at all.He takes a single step sideways, planting himself between me and the broken cell door. Outside in the narrow corridor, Kian and Frost turn to Quinton as well. For an interminable moment, nobody speaks.Finally, Quinton’s glare lands on me behind the bars a

    Malix, who’s closest to me, still standing in the cell with me, turns to take hold of my arm. His touch is gentle, and there’s something almost like an apology in his beautiful violet eyes.What-the-fuck-ever. If he thinks that’s going to make me go down without a fight, he’s out of his damn mind.I yank against his grasp with a growl, forcing him to reach for me with his other hand, too. The moment his body faces me fully, I bring my knee up between his legs and swing my arms around, breaking his grasp on me.Malix grunts and doubles over, nearly falling into me. I dance away, as far as I can in the tiny cell, but I have nowhere to run.Because Kian is taking up the entire doorway.His gold-ringed eyes glint like steel as he snatches for me. One large hand twists into my hair, and he yanks me against him. Tears burn in my eyes, a combination of my already existing injuries being jostled and the hair being damn near yanked out of my head. Kian’s other arm snakes around my torso, pinni

    But who am I supposed to trust? At this point, I’m not even sure I trust myself.Instead, however, the three of them make a formation around me as we race farther into the snowy mountains. Even though I know they can run faster than me, they keep my pace, staying close to my side.None of us speak.I sprint faster than I’ve ever gone before, amped on pure adrenaline. The shadow wrecked me, and even the shift into wolf form wasn’t enough to heal all of my injuries. But I can’t stop. When I finally do, all that pain and devastation is going to catch up to me.For now, I have to run.Summoning every bit of stubborn determination I have, I keep pushing until my lungs burn and my legs ache worse than before. We sprint for what feels like hours, until I physically can’t run anymore.I stumble over my paws and go down on my front, ass in the air. I let the magic flow over me to shift me back to human form and haul myself back to my feet using a nearby tree trunk. Clinging to the trunk with ic

    KianI catchAmora as her eyes roll back in her head. Her body is limp before she even hits my arms.“Stubborn woman,” I grunt, lifting her carefully against my chest. Her head lolls back, and her long dark hair slips over my arm like cold silk. Her pale skin is marred by bruises and cuts from her one-sided battle with the shadow.But even with her unconscious and injured, having her in my arms again is everything. I cling to her, breathing in her scent, that tang of citrus that reminds me of cocktails and sex. Leaning in, I press my nose to her hair and breathe deep, losing myself in her for a moment. She’s my forbidden fruit, and no matter how badly I want to sink my teeth into her, I can’t.Fuck, she came so close to death. If it weren’t for Frost’s preternatural speed, I wouldn’t have her in my arms right now. Those moments before, when the gun was aimed at her and we were silently communicating, making plans to save her…I never want to feel that again.When I open my eyes, my bro

    Fuck. Could Amora even survive what exists in the other realm? Unease prickles up my spine at how close we just came to losing her.We need to take those shadows out, I tell my brothers. As fast as we can.We’re yanked back into combat as several of Quinton’s wolves burst into our little circle, breaking up the party.I pounce on the nearest Blood Moon wolf, taking him down to the ground, while Malix and Frost tag team a shadow shifter. Picking up the wolf with my teeth, I fling him at two more advancing wolves, taking them down like pins in a bowling lane.When I glance back up, Malix and Frost are having trouble with their shadow shifter. The beast is big, and he must’ve been pumped full of more shadow magic than the rest, because he fights almost like a Berserker, wild and brutal. I leap over one of the fallen wolves and head toward them to help, only to stop cold as Amora screams my name.Kian!Whirling around, I find her darting over the uneven terrain in a mad zigzag pattern whi

    KianJust like thenight when Quinton nearly executed our mate with a bullet to the head, I don’t hesitate.I’m in the air a split second after my old alpha’s paws have left the dirt. I intercept his leap and slam into him in mid-air, angling so that I hit his head with my chest. He’s so massive that it feels like a rock wall slamming into me, and I huff out a pained breath. If I were any smaller or weaker, I have no doubt his skull would have broken a few bones in my torso.Quinton flies away from me while I fall to the ground, winded. I barely manage to land on all fours as he skids away from me, kicking up dirt and stones and clumps of grass. All around me, chaos breaks loose as the Silver Crest wolves and Blood Moon pack launch into an all-out war.In the very short half second I have before Quinton stands, I glance around and consider our odds. We’re on Felicity’s turf now, and there are more of us physically than there are of them. Both will give us an advantage. Unfortunately, t

    AmoraFuck. Not Quinton. Please, don’t let it be Quinton. We’re not fucking ready.I’m not sure who moves first, but within seconds of the piercing howl outside, the four of us are racing across the dark, silent cabin toward the front door.Kian reaches the door first and flings it open, launching himself out into the night with Malix and Frost right behind him. As I come even with the door and prepare to shift, I pause for a fraction of a second, mesmerized by the sight of them leaping from the small front stoop.They trail black smoke as they shift, morphing like shadows. It’s beautiful in a deadly sort of way, as if they’re more than limbs and torsos and heads, but something more metaphysical. More fluid. A macabre dance of shadows.Then they land on the dusty front lawn in full shadow wolf form and take off. I hurry to follow behind, letting my own shift take over my body in the split second after I leap off the porch stoop.Another howl lights up the night, and I put on a burst o

    AmoraI surfacefrom a dreamless sleep to the deep, dark of night, cocooned by the warmth of the three men sleeping around me.I’m on my back, completely pinned in by them—something that, once upon a time, would have sent alarm bells clanging through my head. Instead, it’s peaceful and comforting, if a little too warm.The ceiling is barely visible in the blackness, small cracks in the paint standing out like spider webs made of ink. I take a couple of deep breaths, staring up at them as I try to figure out where I stand. How I feel.The past few weeks still weigh on my shoulders, although I imagine that’s not something that’s just going to go away. Things still aren’t good here. We lost against Quinton, and I’m not naïve enough to think he won’t retaliate. Felicity is dead, and that’s a pretty permanent problem that’s going to throw her whole pack into a state of flux for a while.On the other hand, for the first time in a while, I’m okay. Even if the external world is chaos, my inter

    In this moment, it’s just me and my men.Finally, Malix lifts his head and drops a kiss to the tip of my nose. “God, I love fucking you,” he murmurs.“Good.” I chuckle. “Because I’ve got lots of plans for more of this.”He waggles his eyebrows. “Dirty girl. You really are my fated mate.”I breathe out another laugh at the idea that my dirty mind is the true proof that we’re a fated match, shaking my head and grinning at him as he draws back, his cock sliding out of me.Frost, Malix, and I all look toward Kian next.The final piece of the puzzle. My third mate.He’s kneeling on the bed beside me, and when I reach for him, he comes willingly. He settles between my legs, his cock hard and thick. But he doesn’t slide into me right away. Instead, he trails one hand down my stomach, and all four of us watch the path of his fingers as they move lower and lower. When he reaches my pussy, he dips two fingers inside. I moan at the feeling, and heat flashes in his eyes.“You look so stunning lik

    His gold-rimmed eyes gleam darkly, as if he knows exactly what I’m doing—trying to get a rise out of him. But the heated possessiveness never wavers in his expression as he gives me an answer.“Because I want to look at you. I want my brothers to see what’s theirs. What’s ours.”Oh.Oh fuck.I didn’t expect his answer to turn me on so much, but after everything that just happened between us in the bathroom, every word he just spoke is loaded with meaning.So I don’t push back against his order, staying still just like he told me to and allowing the three men to stare down at me. Frost reaches down to grip his cock, and I wonder if he’s squeezing himself to get a little relief or to try to get his arousal under control. Maybe a bit of both.That thought makes me whimper softly, and although I make no move to reach for the feral shifters, I can’t resist reaching down to slide one hand between my legs.“Shit, kitty,” Malix chokes out as I use my fingertips to spread my pussy lips, giving

    “Fuck prophecies,” I repeat as I swipe at the tears threatening to crest over my eyelashes. “I make my own fate. We’ll make our own fate. Together. And it won’t end in murder. Got it?” I jam my finger into Kian’s chest and cut a glare toward Frost. “We aren’t going to go down like that. Not like them. I couldn’t stand it. I can’t even stand the thought of… of hurting you or killing you. Jesus. I can’t believe I ever tried—”Suddenly, Frost’s arm snakes out and hooks around my waist. He yanks me to him, my arms crushed between us as my fingers still cling to my towel, and his lips cover mine, cutting off my rant.There’s a salty, spicy taste to his skin, and when his lips part in that tentative way of his, I’m surrounded by the familiar scent of his body. Warmth unfurls in my belly, heating my skin, and I tilt my face up to his, opening to his kiss.It’s soft at first, but then he catches my face in his hands and deepens the kiss, his tongue sliding against mine with deliberate possess

    AmoraHeat risesin my eyes as I flip the water on in the shower and climb inside. I don’t even wait for the water to warm, and the shock of cold zings through me, giving me a rush of adrenaline to chase away the sheer exhaustion that’s settled over my bones. The cold quickly fades, replaced by lukewarm water. Another twist of the pipes gives me the scalding temperature I need to ease the emotional turmoil I feel.Weeks of grime slosh off my body beneath the shower head while my tears disappear into the water on my face. I dump shampoo on my hair and scrub vigorously with my fingernails, scratching harder than necessary. If I focus on the little pinpricks of pain, maybe I can get the sight of Quinton standing over Felicity’s body out of my head.If only for a moment.His mate.His mate.How could he do that?I turn, ducking my head under the water to rinse out the suds. I grab the bar of soap off the ledge beside me and lather my hands, then use my nails again to scrub at my face.How

    So we travel quickly, digging deep into our energy reserves to race headlong across state lines. Micro-naps and brief pauses to eat or drink are the only breaks we allow, and surprisingly, nobody falls behind. I assume the weaker shifters are still running on pure adrenaline.Most of the adrenaline has faded by the time we cross the state line into Wyoming, but it doesn’t matter. We keep pushing anyway.When we finally reach the Silver Crest pack’s boundaries two days later, a heavy feeling falls over the group. Felicity’s shifters slow, as if dreading to bring the news of her death to those left back home.Many of the wolves limp or nurse wounds that have yet to fully heal, and it doesn’t take more than a glance to understand every one of them is completely demoralized by what happened. It’s late in the day, and although the last rays of the sun paint the buildings with a warm, glowing light, despair hangs around us like a weight in the air.When pack members begin to emerge from the
