MalcolmThe ink isn’t even dry on the latest report when I lean back in my chair and smile. Not just any smile. The kind that stretches slow and satisfied, the kind that tastes like blood and victory and smoke.Because everything is finally falling into place. Before long I will get my revenge and settle the score with Hilda and the rest of her damn pack.Redgrave is pacing the upper floors of her opulent estate right about now, clutching that ridiculous old tome like it’s the second coming.I’d bet good money she hasn’t thought about anything else since she first lay eyes on it. She probably lit every damn candle in her shrine of a drawing room, scattered dried rose petals across the floor, maybe even chanted to her dead grandmother for good measure. As if any of it matters.She’s convinced she’s found something of great importance and I made damn sure she’ll gobble it up with relish. It ticks every box in her occult crazed mind. It’s nearly impossible to connect the cold, cal

RedgraveThe bed is cold when I reach for him. My fingers brushing over the silk sheets and finding nothing but air and the ghost of heat.I sit up slowly and stare at the space where he should be sleeping. Warm and grateful beside me. Ready to accept my help and acknowledge that our fates are intertwined.He wouldn’t have left me. Nobody can make love with such heated abandon and then simply disappear like a thief in the night. I know he would never willingly have left me. He must have been taken, spirited from my side by his evil werewolf captor.Throwing the blankets off me, I rise, snapping for my guard. “Alaric!” My voice slices through the calm like broken glass.There’s movement beyond the door and a beat later, Alaric appears. “My lady?” he asks, looking around for the source of danger. “Where the hell is he?” I ask furiously. Alaric frowns, “Your…visitor?” he asks, stone-faced and too slow for my liking.“Yes, Alaric. The man I fucked last night. I assume one of the men

HildaThe journal lies between us on the table like it might bite.Ash and Tara sit across from me, trying a bit too hard not to look at each other. I’ll have to talk to Tara about that soon. I was under the impression she was immune to his charms, but suddenly so polite to each other that it’s uncomfortable to watch.Arlo and Soren are annoyingly bending over me from behind to read over my shoulder, and Cerelia leans against the edge of the table, arms crossed, golden hair braided back and eyes sharp.We’ve all read enough to be aggravated, but not enough to be satisfied. The damn thing is hundreds of pages long, crammed with notes in Isadora Redgrave’s spidery, slanted hand.“So far it’s mainly just logistics,” Cerelia mutters, flipping a page. “Smuggling routes, blackmail lists, names of judges she has in her pocket.”“And extremely detailed notes on their mistresses, kinks and drug habits,” I add, pushing my hair back from my face. “Is she running a crime syndicate or gossip co

Tara I need space. Some time to gather my severely jumbled thoughts. Not because of the meeting, or the journal, or the unhinged prophecy that basically names Ash as the ultimate werewolf whisperer, though, yes, all that is also nightmare fuel.I need space because of him. Because every time he looks at me with those dark, bedroom eyes, my thoughts stop behaving. Every time he says something clever or ridiculous, my heart jumps like it’s trying to escape my chest.And it’s stupid. I’m stupid. Because I know exactly what he’s like. I was sent with him because I seemed to be the only one not gagging to drop her panties the moment he entered a room and now I’m spiralling into something that feels suspiciously like a crush, a craving, and maybe the beginning of a complete personal catastrophe all rolled into one.Things were far simpler when I mostly stayed in my cabin and minded my own business. That’s where I’m headed now, to hide from Ash for a while.The fire is dead in the he

AshI hate the woods. They’re too quiet. Too full of shadows and leaves that crunch underfoot no matter how hard I try to walk silently. Too far from neon lights and concrete and the low hum of traffic that used to lull me to sleep back in Raventon.I don’t belong out here, with my boots sinking into damp moss and my thoughts louder than the breeze. This isn’t my world. I was never meant to stay here.As soon as Scarlett lets me go, I’m gone. No goodbyes. No second looks. Just the city skyline, a bottle of bourbon, and a mattress that doesn’t smell like pine sap and moral obligation.I mutter a curse and shove my hands deeper into my pockets, kicking at a rock on the path. It skitters off into the underbrush. I wish I could kick whatever’s going on in my head with the same force.The girl with the silver eyes. The one who smells like vanilla and smoke. The one who’s wormed her way under my skin without even trying. Tara.I shouldn’t care that she left the meeting early. Shouldn

ArloHilda’s tucked against me, our legs tangled beneath the sheets, her breath still uneven from the intensity of her orgasm. There’s a flush across her cheeks that I caused, and damn if that doesn’t make my chest ache with something fierce and possessive and entirely too soft for a man like me.I trace a finger down the curve of her shoulder, watching her shiver despite the heat between us. Her hair spills across the pillow, wild and dark and damp at the ends. Her eyes meet mine, and something in me still stutters like a boy seeing her for the first time.“You’re so beautiful,” I murmur, brushing my fingers across her cheek. “You always have been. But right now, lying here like this, you knock the wind right out of me.”She smiles, slow and lazy, fingers gliding across my ribs in a way that makes me want to pull her back to me already. “That’s the idea,” she whispers, pressing a kiss to my chest. “I love you.”Three simple words. They shouldn’t hit me as hard as they do after all

MalcolmThe cigar burns low between my fingers, ash curling like a question mark above the polished glass ashtray. I watch it smoke instead of watching Redgrave. It’s safer that way. She’s pacing furiously in heels that echo across the marble floor, and it takes everything in me not to roll my eyes at her dramatics.“You had one job,” she says, each word clipped and deliberate. “One simple task. Make sure we have a werewolf to take us across the border. Why weren’t you keeping a closer eye on them?”I don’t bother answering. There’s no good response to a woman who thinks she owns the ground I stand on. Because she does, technically. Her money pays for the men I command, the equipment I use, the silence I keep.That doesn’t mean I have to like it. Only that I have to put up with it. For now.“They were under surveillance,” I say finally, flicking the cigar into the ashtray. “They moved faster than expected.”She stops dead, green eyes narrowing. “They vanished, Malcolm,” she hisse

RedgraveMalcolm leaves with all the grace of a soldier, his steps muffled by the priceless rug he’s stomping over with his boots. His thinly veiled disdain echoing loud enough to sting.He doesn’t slam the door. He’s too smart for that, but I hear the soft click of it closing behind him like a slap to the face. If I didn’t need him to fetch Ash and Tara for me, I’d have him assassinated for thinking he can play games with me.I stand perfectly still. Breathing in. Breathing out. Then I throw the tumbler and watch as it hits the wall with a satisfying crash, exploding in a spray of crystal and amber that glints like broken promises on the floor."Idiot," I mutter. "Pliable, arrogant, short-sighted idiot." He doesn’t understand. He never has. The prophecy wasn’t meant for people like him. Men who only care about facts and figures. He can’t see the bigger picture. This isn’t about land or profit, it’s about the survival of mankind!I cross the room and pull open the drawer to my des

AshTara won’t look at me. It must sicken her to see me in such a dishevelled state with Isadora. I tried to convince her we should bathe and get dressed first, but I suspect she wants Tara to know what we’ve been up to.I’ve never had any trouble sexually pleasing my partners. I’m an inventive, attentive and insatiable lover under normal circumstances. Last night was the first time since becoming human that I had to close my eyes and pretend.I imagined Tara was the one in bed with me. The one I kissed. The one who sucked my cock with such exuberance. The one I fucked until she was exhausted and passed out in my arms.I didn’t offer Isadora pleasure with my tongue this time. Exceptionally talented as I am at cunnilingus, I know she was hoping I would. I haven’t had the pleasure of tasting Tara, but I know she would burst on my tongue like some exotic fruit. Intoxicating my senses. I couldn’t suckle Isadora’s clit and keep lying to myself about who I was with.“Tell me how to break th

TaraI feel violated and ill when I wake up the following morning. Ash certainly doesn’t have human stamina, based on the information gleaned from the books I’ve read. Human males apparently require a period of recovery between one bout of mating and the next.“Thank you for the books,” I tell the serving girl when she brings my breakfast. She glances at the bedside table and her eyes briefly meet mine before darting to the floor again. “That one’s good, but the other one is better,” she says quietly.So these aren’t from Redgrave at all. “I’ll make sure to hide them when I have visitors,” I promise her quietly. She lowers her head, “I don’t think she’ll know. She doesn’t pay much attention to the house. You can just say you found them in a drawer.”“My name is Tara,” I tell her gently. She looks at me again with a faint smile, “I know. The mistress cursed your name repeatedly when you took Sir Ash from her before.” Right. I wonder how Redgrave believes I managed that. It’s all to t

TaraAsh seems to have accelerated healing abilities like we do. He told me he’s never been sick and he doesn’t think he ages, but he has no idea if that’s pure luck or if he’s not as human as he seems.The black eye took a bit longer to heal than the lacerations from the whipping, but it was still much faster than a human would have mended.I wish I could see him. Just for a minute. Just to be sure he’s in the same shape physically that I am. Logically I know he has to be, but I need to see with my own eyes that he’s fine. Or at least as fine as it’s possible to be while pretending to be enchanted by a completely delusional woman.If Isadora Redgrave hadn’t shown up when she did, I know exactly what would have happened to me next in that cage and I despise having to feel grateful to her, but I can’t deny that I am. I’d rather be beaten for hours on end than sexually violated by Malcolm.I know the only reason I’m being kept in this beautiful room and fed like royalty is because

RedgraveAs much as I despise Tara, seeing her spread-eagled, bloody and whimpering in pain doesn’t bring me any pleasure. I’m not a cat, who needs to play with my food before I deal the final blow.“Do you no longer need her to get you across the border?” I ask with a raised brow. Malcolm frowns as though the question makes no sense. “I do. She’s not dead,” he responds sullenly.“I gather she attacked you?” His jaw clenches, “What are you getting at, Isadora?” he asks irritably. “I’m trying to understand why you’re torturing her. What’s the point?”“She came here to spy on us before. My men only caught her this time because she was chasing down your precious Ash. She may have important information that could impact the mission,” he informs me dryly. Like I’m a silly child asking stupid questions. I wonder whether he knows that the thin layer of ice that he’s standing on has already started to crack.“Have you asked her?” I enquire. I can hear his teeth grinding together before he

MalcolmEither I was incredibly unlucky with the first werewolf I captured, or this one is very weak for some reason. Maybe because she’s linked to the human.I need to know whether most of them are more like Arlo, or like her. It’s going to make a huge difference in the size of the force I need. Arlo bent steel bars and wouldn’t go down until he was peppered with tranquillizer darts.I wouldn’t have stepped into Arlo’s cage for all the money in the world. Not even when he’d just been knocked out. This little female is completely different. One shot puts her down and she hasn’t attempted to shift once.Maybe I don’t even need to keep putting up with Redgrave. I’ve acquired an arsenal of weapons because Arlo refused to bloody die. Something tells me if I shoot this one in the head, she’ll expire immediately.As tempted as I am to test out my theory, I need her to get me into the werewolves’ territory. Her screams are like the most beautiful symphony. Ringing out loudly with each e

TaraArlo’s advice definitely helped. I’ve been drifting in and out of consciousness from the one dart that hit me, but I never fully went under. I’m abruptly pulled from my dreamy state when pain explodes in my head and my left eye starts throbbing.Ash. What are they doing to him? I want to hurl myself at the bars of the cage surrounding me and demand that they set him free, but we have to maintain our cover.“What the hell are you yipping about?” one of the guards stationed around my prison asks. I hadn’t realized I was making small sounds of distress.Based on the sheer volume of armed guards surrounding me, it’s clear King Arlo gave them a lot of trouble. Pride swells in my chest. He truly is a worthy leader for our pack.“Did she just hit herself?” one of the others asked, gaping at what must be significant bruising around my eye.“Crazy bitch,” the first guy mutters. “I’ve been watching her, she didn’t do it to herself. Her head rocked back and then the bruise was there.

AshFuck. This is not supposed to be happening. What the hell do I do now? I’ve never met Malcolm, but by all accounts he’s the scum of the earth and has no conscience. And he knows I’m not a mythical hero. He planted the bullshit that made Redgrave believe I was some kind of Messiah.He may just decide to kill us for the hell of it. No. I can’t think like that. He needs Tara to get across the border. That doesn’t mean he won’t hurt her though. Or kill me, if he doesn’t believe we’re linked. The problem is, we actually are.Cerelia cast a spell before we left, binding our life forces together. I’ll suffer any harm done to Tara, and she’ll die if they kill me.It was meant to keep Tara safe from Redgrave, and provide further proof that she controls me. I would happily offer my own life if it would save Tara, but it’s currently impossible.The men who grabbed me pulled a thick burlap sack over my head. I can’t see anything and even hearing is problematic. I know they put Tara in

TaraAsh is being extremely huffy as we walk toward the border. “I could have done this on my own. There’s absolutely no reason for you to be putting yourself in danger.”“Aside from the multitude of reasons already discussed in the war council?” I ask, matching his level of peevishness without any trouble. “And don’t suggest again that you could have steered them towards a specific area to cross the border, because it would have been too suspicious and risky.”He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, like I’m the one giving him a headache, instead of the other way around.“Look, I know you want to leave the forest and get back to Raventon as soon as possible. This is the best way for us to speed up the timeline of Malcolm’s attack and control the outcome. I’m sure this is why Scarlett called you here and you can leave as soon as the threat is neutralized.”“Dammit, Tara! This isn’t about me getting back to my life in the city, it’s about your safety. I don’t want you to be hurt. I

Arlo“I don’t like it,” I say, shaking my head.“For once we agree on something,” Ash huffs, crossing his arms over his chest. “You’re not going out there like some lamb to the slaughter,” he tells Tara with finality.“I don’t remember asking for your permission,” Tara tells him softly and Ash’s head jerks back like she just slapped him.“Nobody likes it, but we have to act first,” she continues in her quiet, but determined tone. “We have no idea what Malcolm is up to. If we can control when they cross the border, Cerelia can do her thing. Humans don’t know about our ability to mind link.”“We weren’t able to use the mind link while you were in the city,” I point out grimly. Tara nods, “I know. I’ve spoken to Cerelia and she agrees that it’s probably because of the magical barrier at the border. The moment we come across, I can warn you, so you’ll have at least a 30 minute headstart.”“I could communicate with Arlo when Malcolm had him,” Hilda says, a shiver of distaste running down
