Sarah met Damien when she ran away from that cold shithole they shipped her off to. He wasn't her mate like she had made Breeana believe but then again not everyone was lucky enough to find their mate like Breeana. But he was different. They'd met at a fine dining restaurant. One so expensive and exclusive that you reserved six months in advance and a meal could easily cost an average human's yearly wage. She'd been waiting tables to keep food on the table. It was good pay and free food. Plus a place to sleep. Damien had come in with a stunning werewolf and by scent alone, she had identified them as part of her race. While she served them, Damien had caught her gaze and less than an hour later they were fucking in his car. She wasn't such an easy lay usually but there was something about him. His raw sexual appeal, his gaze that always made her feel special that he had chosen her. And of course, there was his money.Afterwards, he had given her some cash and his driver had driven
Ivy was thoroughly fucked. She touched her neck feeling the phantom touch of Reece. He would have killed her. She had seen her death in his eyes. If it hadn't been for the child that she carried, she would be dead and gone.That little bitch had played her so well. She must have realized that if she had insisted that she couldn't bribe her, Ivy would have had her killed before her testimony. But she had been blindsided. The girl had successfully deceived her. She should have killed Rhea when she had the chance. Now she was well out of reach that Ivy with Reece letting her go. She would be trapped here and the moment her baby popped out, Reece would execute her. He had even taken away her father's power as well. He must have been waiting for the right excuse to do that and she had given it to him.There was a knock on her door and a warrior stepped in. He was the no-nonsense type with his shorn-off hair and numerous scars from the many fights he had been in. She would be unable to br
Damien was going over his plans when his aide arrived. The new council member had just been sworn in and the member was in his pocket. Not that anyone knew. He had decided to begin the attacks against per his plans and the council had reacted beautifully so far. They were split evenly. Some of them wanted the detained suspects released as they'd been proven innocent while the other sect felt that it could be a copycat masterminded by the heir that Reece and Breeana had failed to apprehend so far. Most important of all, none of them spoke about what they would do to address the problem. His time was coming now and while he should have been overjoyed, he was anything but.Sarah's rejection had left him astounded. Maybe he should not have been surprised that the wildcat he took in turned on him yet he was surprised by the drasticness of it. He had taken an interest in her for her backbone after all then he had taken his time in breaking her down until she had become pliable. He had w
"Bree." Reece's voice held as much shock as Breeana's face did as he fell, a bleeding wound in his middle. Ivy was on her knees and had managed to get to the gun Reece had kicked out of her grasp."Reece!" Breeana screamed, dropping to her knees, obstructing Ivy's line of fire with Reece's body unintentionally.Ivy pulled herself up so she could aim properly. She has missed before. She wouldn't miss again. Breeana would not leave this place alive. She ignored the trickle of pain in her midsection from where she had hit when Reece had flung her down hard. She straightened partway wondering where her men who had been guarding this abandoned had gone. Perhaps Reece had dispatched them. She had no idea how he had gotten here so quickly though.Breeana was still trying to shake Reece awake, blood smearing on her hands as she sobbed.Ivy took aim, her arm feeling heavy and strained from the fall. Breeana looked up from Reece to her, finally seeing her death. It was too late. Even though
Breeana helped out at the hospital. She should go to the house and relax but even if she had just seen Reece alive and well she was worried. She wouldn't be able to relax until she checked in on him again so she would help out here until she was sure he was asleep again. Then she would go and see him again. She had eaten some fruits at Ari's insistence and she had also gotten some juice as well as a quick shower and a change of clothes. It was crazy that she could be so angry at him yet care so much about him. She didn't want to think too much about it so she moved. It wasn't like there was much work to be done anyway. The rescue operation had mainly been Reece. He had come to Spain after Ari informed him. "I had to tell him. He is your mate no matter what happened. I'm not saying what he did was right or even justified. But you were missing. I had to do something. Plus he could track you with the bond."While she had been initially mad at her sister, she understood why she had d
"So you are still not going to talk with Reece?"Ari stood by the archway of her room watching her dress her bed."No, I'm not. We've said all that needs to be said. All that is left is for him to finally leave me the hell alone."The kiss they had shared two days ago must have given Reece hope because he had followed her around these past two days. He didn't speak, he just helped her with whatever she was doing.She hated him for it, hated how every single thing he did weakened her already fragile resolve to stay away from him. Ari stepped into the room. "You might just get what you want then."Breeana scoffed. If only. "Yeah, I don't think so. I think he intends to stay here for a while.""Maybe he did," Ari conceded. "But not anymore. He got a call. The pack was attacked two nights ago. He'll be on the first flight out."Reece was leaving? Breeana stopped what she was doing to look at Ari in shock. "The pack was attacked? Why the hell didn't you start with that?"She began to wal
Breeana poured herself a glass of water acting as though she hadn't just separated two people who were so in love with each other. Reece crossed the distance between them and took the glass out of her hand."Serious Bree, couldn't you have done that in a more sensitive way? Allen was so distraught."Breeana paused to look at him. "I did what needed to be done. It was better to get it done with quickly. Rip it off like a bandaid so to speak.""Better for whom? You or him?"Breeana rolled her eyes. "You are being way too sensitive about this. But then again what else do I expect from someone who prefers lies over the truth?""Bree." Reece growled.She was so aggravating. Could she not see how insensitive she was being? The only reason he didn't counter her decision with Sarah openly was that he didn't want to undermine her authority and the fact that Sarah had looked guilty as hell."Don't pull that with me." Breeana looked angry and her blue eyes crackled like there was a little thunde
The full moon shone down on the abandoned warehouse, casting eerie shadows across the empty streets.Inside, a group of werewolf hunters sat around a large wooden table, their faces twisted in anger and determination. "I have received word from one of the twisted creatures. Apparently, they are having dissent amongst themselves." The others expressed similar looks of disgust. The animals could barely control themselves, it was a wonder they hadn't hunted themselves into extinction yet. It irked him to no end that they had to rely on intel from one of them but that would soon be dispensed with and even this informant would die for being an abomination."The hunter organization has become a mere facade of what it once was. Our leaders have betrayed our creed but we will right that wrong if it is the last thing we do."The leader of the hunters, a grizzled man with a scar running down his chin, slammed his fist on the table. "We've had enough of these creatures terrorizing our city. I
