Keyah stole a glance at Aaron. He had gone unusually silent after the revelation she made about not having shifted for nearly a decade. Despite not living with a pack, she knew it was unusual.

“We are taking a slight detour,” she said to break the silence.

“Where are we going?”

“Palmio Waters. There’s something I need to pick up.”

“Okay.” Aaron fiddled with the music system. Apparently, that was the end of the conversation. Keyah let out a frustrated breath. She had been dropping hints about this mysterious thing she needed to pick up, but he refused to take the bait. Either he was still stunned by her revelation, or he was on to her. He knew she wanted him to ask, and so he was refusing to ask just to push her buttons.

So much for piquing his curiosity.

Palmio Waters was midway between Rockedge, the town where Aaron had exiled himself, and Las Vegas. It was a shifter town, one her dad had apparently frequented.

Keyah took the exit toward Palmio Waterss. Like most shifter towns, there

    Spending a night under the stars was easier said than done. They had scoured the entire town, trying to find a relatively safe place to park the car and spend the night. Finally, they had decided to park on the outskirts, on the far side of the checkpoint.Next, they set about buying some essentials. Or at least, they tried to. The people in Palmio Waters were certainly living in a different century. They hadn’t heard of a butane stove or packaged food. Since the night would get chilly, they bought some firewood and matches from a store that only sold firewood.When Keyah and Aaron had asked where they could buy some food, they had been directed to the local butcher’s. Then they remembered the drive-through fast food joint that served as the checkpoint, but quickly found out that the fast-food joint served no food. It was just a front. Humans who ventured to the checkpoint instantly forgot why they had ended up there in the first place, and the shifters simply drove through; so there

    Keyah fanned her face, watching Aaron’s retreating back. Her heated cheeks had nothing to do with the fire blazing in front of her. While his little strip tease had set her on fire, seeing him in his wolf form had nearly made her swoon. He was breathtakingly gorgeous. She had never felt less in control of her wolf.How was she ever going to resist him?Sighing, she chewed on her protein bar. While she had never spent a night alone in a shifter town on a full moon night before, she had stayed close to one, and despite locking herself in her room, the need to shift had been greater than ever that night. In the end, only one thing had worked to keep her mind off things.Keyah suppressed a shudder as she threw the wrapper of the protein bar away into a trash bag and laid down on the soft sand, looking at the sky. The first stars were beginning to appear. Nights in the desert were spectacular as there was no artificial source of light for miles. Even in the town, all lights had been turned

    Aaron woke up with Keyah’s naked body wrapped around him. The sun was high up in the sky, and it was the heat that woke him up.Last night had been wild beyond measure. Taking Keyah’s advice and shifting earlier in the evening had probably saved him from making a complete fool of himself. Despite that, his wolf had been dangerously close to the surface, especially given the kind of activities they had indulged in. Short of actually fucking, they had pretty much done everything else.He had soon caught on that the only way Keyah could resist shifting was if her brain was drowned in post-orgasm haze. He loved every minute of it.Keyah was pure fire when turned on. He remembered how she’d looked with her lips wrapped around his cock. The image made him hard. His erection was poking Keyah’s thigh, and that woke her up.She shifted position, rubbing her thigh against his erection probably without meaning to. Her eyes blinked open, widening when they met his gaze. Keyah sat up with a gasp,

    Keyah sank into the luxurious king-sized bed, sighing.They had arrived in Vegas an hour ago, and promptly booked themselves into a hotel on the Strip. As soon as they had checked in, Keyah had hit the bathroom and indulged herself with a long bath, helping herself to the high-end toiletries. She was sore all over after their energetic making out sessions. Shaking her head, she tried to push the X-rated images of herself and Aaron out of her mind.Aaron was right. Vegas was bloody expensive. Thankfully, money was one thing she didn’t have to worry about. Not only had she walked away from her career as a bounty hunter with a nice little nest egg, she had also inherited a small fortune from her mama’s side of the family. And although Aaron had made noises about the ridiculously expensive hotel, she knew it had only been to induce her to share a room with him.No fucking way, she thought, hugging her luxurious robe close to her. Despite her reluctance to talk about last night with Aaron,

    Keyah came out of the bathroom, wearing a pair of white shorts, a black tank top, and a thin white, full-sleeved cotton shirt. She’d left the shirt unbuttoned, tying it in a knot above her belly button.Aaron swallowed. Hard.It was pure torture to be around Keyah and not be able to do anything. His wolf wanted out; his wolf wanted Keyah in her wolf form. Aaron pressed a hand against his chest involuntarily. If they ever spent a night together in their wolf forms…Just thinking about it was making him painfully hard.He tried to look away as Keyah studied her reflection in the mirror and applied a coat of pink lip gloss to her pouty lips. It made her lips look so wet, so inviting. The image of her lips wrapped around his cock formed unbidden in his mind’s eye, like it had several times since waking. He wanted it again. He wanted to be buried inside her, to taste her. But it surprised him to realize that what he enjoyed the most last night had been watching her come apart in his arms,

    Keyah retrieved a tissue from her bag and discreetly dabbed at her tears. While she had suspected Aaron’d had a difficult childhood, she hadn’t imagined he had been physically abused as a child. She couldn’t imagine a parent doing that to their child. What kind of a monster did he have for a dad? No wonder he didn’t want to talk about his childhood.But when Aaron had told her the story, the kind of feelings it evoked inside her surprised her. She had felt the raw emotional pain as if it were her own, and she had felt angry, so, so angry. It was almost as if Aaron’s feelings were her own feelings.She didn’t know why she felt so deeply. Despite trying her hardest to resist it, she was forming a bond with Aaron. Not just a physical bond, but something much stronger.When he returned with their food, there was no trace of pain on his face. The mask was back on. But now that she had seen what lay underneath the cocky grin and the facade of arrogance, she would always see through the thin

    Aaron’s eager fingers slid under the waistband of her shorts. The farther he slid his hands, the more her zipper came undone. His fingers were millimeters away from touching her clit through her wet panties when the elevator jerked to a halt. From her peripheral vision, Keyah saw a man step in.Aaron’s fingers were still inside her shorts.Since her brain was in a lust-driven haze, she didn’t immediately realize they had company. Her eyes were fixed on Aaron’s. It was only when he blocked her from view with his body and zipped up and buttoned her shorts did her brain register something was not right.Before she could melt into a pool of utter embarrassment, Aaron tilted her chin up with his forefinger, cradled her face and captured her lips in a searing hot kiss. She couldn’t hold back, even if she tried. Her mouth opened, allowing Aaron’s tongue in. The combined scents of their arousal was so potent, a small part of her brain feared the muggle riding the elevator with them was actual

    “What do you have in mind?” Aaron asked as he studied Keyah. There was something brewing at the back of her mind.She was staring into the distance, her eyes shining.He couldn’t help smiling as he studied her profile. Although he had resisted telling her about what he’d been through, once he had begun, the words had flowed easily. And now, he felt as if the deadweight that had been hanging around his neck had finally been shed. Suddenly, his breathing felt easier. Keyah was an excellent listener. He didn’t think he would have been able to open up the same way had it been anybody but Keyah.She didn’t pity him. He marveled over it. How did she know he wouldn’t have been able to handle her feeling sorry for him?“Confronting your mom’s minions will only make them more determined. That’s what she wants, isn’t it? She wants you to fight them; she wants you declared a hazard to the community. Nah, that’s not the right way to go about it.”Aaron banged the back of head against the headrest

    Aaron’s heart stilled in his chest when he heard Keyah’s faint whisper. She never wanted to be rid of him!She loved him. Keyah loved him! While she hadn’t said it outright, Aaron knew without a smidge of doubt her feelings for him were as real as his feelings for her.Aaron wanted to scoop her into his arms, lift her up in the air, and twirl her round and round while telling her how much he loved her. A warm glow spread inside him.His wolf purred inside him and whispered the words: ‘Our mate.’The words ‘I love you, Keyah’, were on the tip of his tongue. Before he could say anything, she went rigid in his arms, as if sensing what he was about to do. Freeing herself from his embrace with a frantic urgency, she got to her feet and walked toward the balcony with the terrific view of the mountains. Aaron followed her. Why did she shut him down so quickly whenever he was on the verge of opening his heart to her? He wanted to stand beside her. Recognizing she needed space, he stood lean

    Aaron had kept his hands off her for the rest of the day, which should have made her feel relieved, but instead, Keyah felt disappointed.She had stepped out of the bathroom only once he had promised he would keep his hands to himself. And true to his word, he had. It was disappointing. She should be grateful, she told herself. If he did put his hands on her, there was no way she’d be able to resist him yet again.The effects of the potion had long abated; and while the aggression had lessened considerably, her lust for Aaron hadn’t gone down even one tiny bit. Keyah had a feeling it had nothing to do with the potion. Her lust for him would never lessen, not after knowing she loved him.If Becky hadn’t interrupted them at the right moment, they would have fucked for sure. And then where would that leave her? Making love to Aaron was a one-way street. There would be no going back from there. If they made love, he would know for sure, even if she refused to say the words, that she loved

    After the blow job, Aaron was feeling more turned on than ever. His horniness, instead of abating, was at its peak. Thanks to the werewolf physiology, he was hard again as well, his refractory period being mere seconds. And with his hands and legs suddenly free, he lunged toward Keyah, trapping her beneath him.He had never come all over a woman’s mouth before. He should feel embarrassed for losing control like that, but all he felt was terribly possessive. Why did his cum look so mind numbingly sexy on Keyah? He had marked her as his with this act. She belonged to him, whether she was ready to accept it yet or not. She’s our soul mate, his wolf whispered from inside him. And this time, Aaron didn’t object. He knew what his wolf said was true. Aaron realized he’d known it since the moment he had seen her for the very first time, but had chosen to ignore it.As Aaron’s thigh held her in place, the tip of his cock touched her pussy lips.Keyah’s eyes widened. There was no hint of doubt

    Keyah watched Aaron’s retreating back as she sank into the soft pillows. He had a fine, fine ass. As the image of his ass with her teeth marks on it formed in her mind, it brought a flood of color to her cheeks, but at the same time, she really, really wanted to bite his ass again. She wanted to bite him all over, leave marks on him, mark him as hers. She wanted to run her tongue all over the gorgeous ridges and planes of his hard, muscular body. Other than the few tattoos on his arms, he had one right at the base of his spine. How come she hadn’t noticed it before? Perhaps because the last time she had seen him naked, her brain had been fried by the twin assault of the shifter pheromones in the air, and her uncontrolled lust. She vowed to ask him about all his tattoos.It should have embarrassed her mightily when Aaron walked in on her with her fingers buried in her pussy, but it hadn’t. Well it had, but just a little bit. Was it the potion that made her feel wanton? Or had she achi

    Aaron slowly tried to back away, but collided against the doorjamb. Keyah’s eyes flew to him.“Aaron,” she whispered, her eyes dark. And although a hint of color tinged her cheeks, she didn’t close her legs or remove her hand from her breast.“Sorry, I didn’t know… I’ll give you some privacy,” he said, turning on his heel.“No. Wait.” Keyah’s voice was hoarse and thick. “Be with me. I’m trying but it’s not enough.”If she asked him to touch her, he’d be a goner. His cock would be buried inside her in minutes, irrespective of the promise. “If I touch you, I won’t be responsible for my actions.”Acute lust coursed through his blood, making his heart pound. It seemed like all the horniness he had worked off after his run was now back with a vengeance. He clutched the bundle of basil tighter, hoping to regain a semblance of control.“I’m not asking you to touch me. My fingers just aren’t doing the job. Make me come without touching me. Tell me all the things you want to do to me. Talk dir

    “Breakfast will be served everyday in the cafe downstairs between eight am and ten am. The bathroom’s through here. I’m sorry we give you a room with twin beds,” Becky apologized, twisting her hands.Aaron wished the hare-woman would leave already. She had a tendency to ramble, and she had apologized ten times on the way up to the room. He knew he’d say something rude if he spoke, so he walked to the Juliet balcony attached to the room. At least, the view was stupendous. From here, he could see both the lake and the Direwolf Mountain.Becky was still talking, telling Keyah all about how she had inherited the villa from her great-grandmother and turned into a B and B, following a life-long dream. They were a little short-staffed today, she explained. Aaron wanted to shout–we fucking don’t care. Leave!But the only thing stopping him from pinning Keyah against the queen-sized bed and ripping off her clothes was Becky’s presence. So in a way, Becky was probably doing him a favor by linge

    Keyah read the text, feeling perplexed. She glanced at Aaron, and he was studying her intently, taking deep inhales.Keyah now knew why he did that. With the potion, her senses were heightened. His natural scent permeated her nostrils, trying to envelope her brain in a fog of desire. If she let it, it would cloud her senses completely.Shaking her head, she forced herself to read the text out loud. “Tara says: ‘you can alter your scent and throw those goons off your track. Just chew on some basil before taking the potion.’ How the fuck did she know?”Keyah banged her fist against the dashboard, suddenly needing to vent her frustration. Now she knew how Aaron had felt. When her fist connected with the dashboard, she was horrified. Her car! Her poor car! How could she ill-treat it?Aaron growled low in his throat, probably feeling triggered by her aggression.Fuck, it was going to be difficult. Keyah looked at the lake again, trying to calm her mind. “Let’s find an auto repair shop. We

    “Keyah?”When Aaron gently shook her shoulders, she jerked, suddenly coming awake. She had passed out. When had she passed out? She had only closed her eyes for a minute; it had still been dark out. Now, the sun was high up in the sky.Sitting up, she rubbed a hand over her face. After they had fueled up and left Fanny Pack, Keyah had been at the wheel until they crossed the Direwolf Mountains. The paved road ended soon after, and Keyah had begun to feel her eyes close. Since she knew better than to stubbornly stay at the wheel when feeling sleepy, she’d asked Aaron to take over, promising to relieve him after she’d had a few minutes of shut-eye.Well, it had certainly been more than a few minutes.“What time is it? Why didn’t you wake me up? Were we followed? Did we cross the streams?”Aaron grinned. How could he look so handsome despite not having slept a wink? She was sure she looked like a racoon with purple circles under her eyes despite having slept for a few hours.“You went fr

    Aaron got out of the car and stretched his legs, his face upturned, looking at the star-studded sky, trying to feel a sense of calm under the ocean of stars. Ever since he had kissed Keyah earlier, his feelings were all over the place. He couldn’t make sense of anything.When Keyah had asked him if he believed in destiny, he was sure she was hinting they were fated mates, but when she laughed off his suggestion, it hurt. Which was ridiculous. He knew they weren’t fated mates. They couldn’t be. His fated mate couldn’t be a Silver Wolf. If the circumstances had been different, if Keyah had been raised by her pack, she wouldn’t even have come into Aaron’s life. The only reason they had met was because she wanted revenge.But circumstances aren’t different. She found you, the one wolf who can see the Boulder Mountain. If anything, it proves she is your fated mate. She found you against all odds, his wolf argued from inside him.Aaron shook his head, not having a counter argument. His wolf
