After endless crying, hugging, and celebrating, other matters eventually came to the fore. Like Alpha Cillian’s smouldering packhouse bordering on collapse. That in a few hours, the Alpha’s of both Rising Star and White Forest were arriving. That we are to go to war with the humans, killing King Lanfear. Easton and Rhett are still murdered. The goddess tree did not save them. Rami has a wolf, Naomi and I are marked. Plus, waiting for me back at Lyon’s workshop is a trailer full of explosives and a scheme to sneak over the human side solo. “Take a few days. Seriously, it’s an order. I will tell you when I need you. Stay home. Recover,” Cillian urged before planting a kiss on Naomi’s cheek and ruffling Rami’s blonde head. His own clothes are littered with black scorchmarks, his face grimy with soot. “Sawyer, Tucker, Dash, Diane, Jane, Bianca!” he shouts, firing out commands and instructions. Water, find spare beds, clothes, and medical attention, and send scouts ahead to cat

Finn quickly wrapped his other arm around me. Resembling the finale of a dance, he dramatically lunged us both downwards to place the basket down on the stone floor. /Very fancy/ I link, his lips curving up so sweetly as I continued to kiss him. Refusing to break away, he links back, his tongue gently finding mine, my hands fisted in his ashy brown curls. /I have more moves than just fighting, you know Kharkov/ and whatever he is thinking of now just made every nerve in my body tighten with excitement. I gasp as my skin heats and goose pimples, nipples harden and pussy clenches to. Immediately hungry for his body to be even closer to mine. Yet he’s holding me light as a feather, draped almost parallel to the ground, his forearm cradling the length of my spine. A cry of “MAMA!” breaks the spell. We both look to the empty doorway and then back again. Finn kisses me quickly on the lips before effortlessly lifting me back up to standing, picnic basket already in his free hand. I c

We leave tomorrow morning. Sawyer and his band of men are placed all over the border, making sure there are no last-minute surprises. For everyone else, lectures have been attended, and explosives checked. Naomi and I have balanced taking care of Rami whilst the other conducts training, spars, or checks ammunition levels. Rami isn’t kept away from knowledge. In fact, he can’t get enough of copying the kicks and punches during Naomi’s training sessions. He’s watched me fight the men, both shifted and human, the growls and crunching impacts fascinating him as I pin every opponent to the ground. It's foolish, but I've never had someone truly in my corner before when fighting. Of course, my parents loved me, but they didn't approve of the illegal bouts. Zena was flitting about, causing her own brand of madness. To hear Rami’s little whoops or even catch a smile from Naomi makes me try harder than I ever have before. Which is bad news for the new recruits, but they have to learn

Warily, I put one foot on the plate and swung the other leg over. Finn’s eyes don’t miss a thing. He sees the shine between my legs. I don’t care if I’m needy for my mate. My nerves hang on a string, waiting for him to pull the next trick from his sleeve. Driving over, it felt pretty nice, holding onto Finn and allowing the vibrations to rumble through my core. Now I’m back on the bike and already making the black leather saddle slicker. Seated, legs spread, I’m forced to wait as Finn stares at me. “You have any idea how stunning you look. I pictured it enough times, but the real thing…I think I’m going to have to drive you home naked. Ban all clothes from this thing.” I’ll never get used to how broad and powerful he is. The scars left from the fire have removed some of his boyish perfection. I’ve already told him it makes me love him all the more. He’s not perfect, almost, but not quite. Not now his shoulder shows a still-pink line around six inches long. His calf and thigh ha

I would have headed back before dawn and maybe caught a couple of hours' sleep, but there was no convincing Naomi. Just when I thought every wall had already come down, I found one more adorable little stumbling block of shyness. My stunning, warrior queen. Adamo almpst turned savage when she called me her king. It’s exactly what I want to be to her. But there just weren’t enough hours in the evening to treasure her how she deserves. So deviously sexy with that red hair yet reduced to the sweetest little blush with the right question. We had to hightail it back on the quad, barely beating the sunrise in order to get showered and changed. Her lips are a little puffy, her back a little scratched up, my shoulders and chest embarassingly roughed up. But as I quickly helped her fasten on some shoulder padding and torso guards; armour designed to fall away should she need to shift, we were quiet. Silently together, yet mentally miles apart, Naomi sat checking the tension of her bo

It was unsettling without Leona. Remembering that everyone around me didn’t have an automatic sense of how I was feeling. Guiding my women into position, their arrows, and lighter fuel ready to go, I could easily imagine my sister. Face furrowed in concentration. Double checking her equipment. Betting with me on the likelihood the enemy would refer to us as bitches.. She would be magnificent. All those times we defended Cragstone together. Now I'm forced to inhale, stand proud, and give Diane Jackson a wry smile. Although, to her credit, she hasn’t mentioned kissing, laying her hands on, or sleeping with Finn once since the night I returned. /Good. She’d be no use after we’d finished with her/ Impes growled possessively. Our long lines of dynamite exploded, Alpha Nikolai and Zeke sprinted with their men through the shattered minefield. "NOW!" I cry, our flaming arrows soaring overhead like hellfire. Finn’s idea looks to have worked perfectly. In the smoke and confusion, the

The fire seized me. Beyond anything I could control. All the muscles are attached to none of the brain. Those burning buildings took me back to a place I never wish to visit again. Clutching a lifeless Naomi. then Rami in my arms, wondering if the sacrifice needed was my own life. I leapt out of that top window fully willing to offer it. Adamo took care of me that night. After a few seconds 6 panic, I felt my gentle, kind wolf nudging me to look towards the western side of Bridgend. Had my wolf cursed and belittled me, I might have never moved again. Instead, we looked to the non-burning areas. Clearing my throat and pointing, I tried to sound authoritative. “We’ll go this way. Around the far edge of the city. Catch them off guard. They’ll all be running towards the fire, the explosions. Might be prepping traps, gathering weapons back there." “Are we not meant to join the fight straight away?” Dash asked, his freckled face screwed in confusion. “No you’re meant to follow

We could smell Nikolai even before Finn charged through the arched stone doorway. It was a heartbreaking sight. For such a tall, powerful man to be helplessly splayed out, resembling a butcher's discarded cut of meat. Zeke’s hands and arms were raw from trying to lift away the weighted, criss-crossed silver laced netting. Covering his hands just saw Zeke’s arms and even his face branded with silver burns, such was the panic to release Nikolai from his trap. It took waiting for Cillian to arrive to provide the lift and strength to get it away as cleanly as possible. Savages. /All those traps need destroying before we leave here./ /Absolutely. Good idea/ Finn agreed silently. But right now, Nikoali was naked. Seared from head to toe in grisly black lines, angry red boils already erupting around the flesh. “Get me home! Just get me home to Genevieve,” he screamed before his eyes rolled into the back of his head. “I need Vee.” Across our bond flowed sorrow and heartache. If I
