RhysonHe’s not father material.Scowling, I watched as they walked away. I didn’t like the look on Gideon’s face. It wasn’t predatory.It was adoration.Maya was a beautiful woman. Here, she’d be something new and exciting. The news that she was pregnant clearly didn’t bother him. Judging from the children running around the camp, he’d welcome a babe. Pups could be hard to come by and were revered. Maya was young, and already proven to be fertile.“You’re growling,” Duke sighed. “Nash isn’t happy to be pulled away from Dante to follow her.”“Nobody should be alone.”“And yet you’re letting her walk around with him.”“He’s going out of his way to appear relaxed around her so he doesn’t scare her. That means he’s letting his guard down. If he’s a threat, Maya will sense it.”“We’re trusting her perception?”“I get the feeling Maya understands danger very well.” The more I got to know her, the more I realized she wasn’t the pampered princess everyone made her out to be. What kind of sec

MayaMy breath caught in my throat as he lowered his head for a bruising kiss. My toes curled, and I sank my fingers into his hair. My brain screamed that this was a horrible idea. The last thing I needed was to give myself to him now that I knew how he felt about me, but everything inside of me was so tense I thought for certain that I would crack if I didn’t find a release. The fear. The pain.I needed his hands on me.“Did you think of this when he asked you to stay?” Rhyson growled as he broke the kiss and ripped my shirt over the top of my head. “Did you wonder if he could fuck you like I did?”His fingers were punishing as they dug into my side. My tits were bare to him, and all I could think about was how I wanted his mouth on me again. Unfortunately, he kept opening his mouth and ruining the moment. I’d often wondered if I would have chosen him that night if I’d known who he was, or if I would have escaped when he gave me the chance.It was a luxury then, the not knowing. And

Wrapping his fingers in my hair, he pulled me out, keeping a hand on my chest to guide me. As he kissed my neck, he started pumping his hips again, a little bit slower this time, and I reached between my legs, running my fingers over his cock and then finding my own pleasure. I rubbed my clit and he fucked me, and the world fell away again. His teeth sank into my shoulder, and I came hard.Pushing me back down on the bed, Rhyson stroked me through my orgasm, roaring before he pulled out and came on my back.“Why did you do that?” I muttered as I collapsed on the bed. “Can’t get me pregnant twice.”Rhyson didn’t say anything as he stepped off the bed, picked up his shirt, and wiped my back. When he tossed the shirt in the corner of the cabin, I realized what he didn’t want to say. He’d done it to leave evidence.To let Gideon and everyone else know that he’d claimed me here.Claimed my body at least.“Marrow was a good wolf. A good brother. We were outsiders. Part of a pack, but our pa

RhysonMy eyes narrowed, but before I could say anything, there was a shout from the cabin next to us. I raced to the door and threw it open just as Duke and Nash came out, dragging a young teenager with them.“What the hell is going on?”Duke threw the boy at my feet. “We caught him breaking into the cabin.”“Fuck off. It’s my cabin,” the boy slurred. Bending down, I caught his chin and stared down at him. His pupils were the size of saucers.“Gideon,” I roared.He cringed. “Wait, no, you don’t need to call him. We’re all good here.”“Then explain what the fuck you’re doing in my cabin.”The boy started to shake. “Your necklace. Looked expensive. Wanted to pawn it.”The amulet. I narrowed my eyes. “Bullshit. What do you need money for?”“The serum. I need the serum,” he whispered.“You expect me to believe that you’re buying your drugs with actual money?” As far as I could tell, money was not the currency of the mountain. The boy didn’t answer. “What’s your name?”“Paisley.”“How old

MayaMy wolf shivered at the mournful sound. Feeling her fear rising, I quickly wrested control and started the painful shift. Everybody gave me space expect Paisley. My slow shift seemed to temporarily distract him from his own pain and fear. Finally, I started to dress.“I’m telling you man, we can’t go this way. Wolves come in here and never return,” Paisley insisted.“We’ve got two things that are going to help us. One is the amulet, and the other is you.” Rhyson smiled grimly. “You can sense magic. Between the two of us, we’re going to navigate this place.”“Fuck that,” Paisley retorted. “I’m not going to piss off some ghosts.”The earth howled again, and I closed my eyes. There was a message in her wails, and it wasn’t the kind that appeared in horror films dripping in blood. This wasn’t trying to scare us off. This was…emotional pain. This was release.“Maybe she’s lonely,” Dante muttered. “Nash can keep her warm at night.”“I can keep anything warm at night,” Nash boasted befo

Maya“Bow your heads,” I whispered to the others as I moved forward.“Excuse me?” Duke snapped. “I will not. She is not my queen.”“She is not a wolf,” I returned in a furious whisper. “She’s the one doing this. She’s a witch and a fucking powerful one, and we’ve wandered into her territory with a magical amulet. Show some respect to her and maybe she won’t kill us with the snap of her fingers.”For a horrible moment, I thought they weren’t going to comply. With the exception of Tessa and Paisley, these were wolves who were used to being at the top, with only Rhyson above them. They didn’t show their necks for anyone else.“I’m not telling you to kneel. I’m telling you to let her know that you aren’t questioning her authority.”Rhyson bowed his head first, and the others followed. Gently, I took the amulet from Rhyson and held it up. “We were told that this was an abandoned but safe way to travel,” I called up to her. “We did not mean to disturb you.”She blinked out of existence and

RhysonI could feel the panic around me, but I just arched an eyebrow at the man in front of me. “You gave your pregnant mate a flare gun?”“Actually, I keep taking them away from her. She keeps finding more. I haven’t figured out who her supplier is. Honey, let’s not immediately murder the guests Lunessa just dropped off. You’ve been complaining about how she never visits.”“I don’t like him,” Anna said as she rubbed her belly.“Neither do I,” Maya said behind me. “But since he’s the father of my child, I would appreciate it if you didn’t shoot him.”Anna’s eyes flitted to Maya, and she relaxed her arm. “Fine, but you really shouldn’t sleep with wolves you don’t like.”“A lesson I’ve noted for the future,” Maya said smoothly. “My name is Maya. This is Rhyson. Dante. Nash. Juniper. Tessa. Paisley. And Duke is the wolf who is not going to tear out your throat.”Turning my head, I looked as my second practically foamed at the mouth. I nodded at him, and he immediately sat down.“Jax,” t

“Jax,” Anna said in a shaky voice. “Let him go. He was protecting his mate.”“I’m not his mate,” Maya snapped, and I glared at her. Jax’s hands released me, and he stepped back.I rubbed my neck. “I see that name tends to trigger a lot of people, but we’ve traded her location once for help. We won’t do it again.”“Very well. We can get the information from Lunessa. We offer you our hospitality,” Jax said warmly as he stepped back and put his arm around Anna. “We have enough guest rooms for you here.”How kind of him. He was itching to tear out my throat, and yet he was letting us stay.Keep your enemies close.“We appreciate the hospitality for the night. Any information you can give us on Emerson’s successor will be appreciated, and then we’ll be on our way,” I said diplomatically, trying to let him know that I wasn’t here to challenge him as alpha.He didn’t even begin to relax. “Let me show you to your rooms.”There were enough rooms that nobody needed to double up, but the alpha d

Mica squeezed her eyes shut tightly. Her stomach churned. It was exactly what she thought—they weren’t even going to try to save Echo, too certain in their own knowledge.“It has to happen soon, Hayden,” Ryder said, his voice low, urgent, and… sorrowful. “I can’t keep holding my tongue. You are my Alpha, and I’ve tried to respect your decisions, but the situation is becoming untenable. This is my mother and my sister we’re talking about. I will tell Mica, if that’s what you would prefer.”“No,” Hayden answered.Why? Why did he not want Ryder to tell her? Tears filled Mica’s eyes and she crept away, not wanting to hear any more. Was Hayden afraid she’d let Echo go? Did he think it was up to him as her mate to tell her that he was going to kill her mother?He doesn’t consider it killing Mom, though. He considers it a mercy, freeing her from the demon.It didn’t make Mica feel any better. She carefully opened the kitchen door, slipped through, and softly closed it. Her heart pounded in h

MicaMica stared at the page. She’d been reading for so long that the words were starting to blur, but if she was right in her interpretations here… She blinked, rubbed her eyes, and focused again. As she reread the section, her heart started to beat faster.“And the demon was taken from its host and trapped in the stone,” she whispered. “Where it was trapped for all eternity.”She scanned the rest of the page. Hope swelled through her, even though she fought against it. It had been so long since this started, she wasn’t sure she could take it if this didn’t work. But there was the ritual all laid out. The way to force an aura-demon from the person it was possessing, and trapping it into an inanimate object. Once in the object, the demon would be trapped until said object was destroyed.Her mind whirled as to what they could use to trap the demon inside of Echo. There was a size limit to work with. A rock would be the best; then she’d put it in a plastic, air-tight box and bury it as

Monroe laughed. “Spoken like a true female. Completely wrong.”Spencer and the rest of his people burst into laughter as well. They all stalked away, taking their torches with them. A flash of lightning flickered soundlessly in the distance. Hayden turned to his pack. They watched with uncertain gazes.“Two days,” he said loudly. “And then you will know you put your faith in the right Alpha. We will have Bluebell Valley, and things will get better.”He smiled at them reassuringly. As they dispersed, Finn and Blayke sidled over to him. Finn spoke in a low voice.“Spencer is the only one not showing signs of possession,” he said under his voice. “Everyone else is either claimed or at least influenced. It’s spreading.”Hayden nodded once. Finn would prefer they take more decisive, more immediate action. Hayden couldn’t blame him, knowing his history. He had a particular reason to hate demons, seeing how they robbed him of any chance he might have had to have a normal family, a normal lif

Hayden“Stay here. I’ll be back shortly,” Hayden ordered as he stalked back to the bedroom. As he threw on his clothes, he frowned. Mica was dressing as well. “I said—”“I’m your mate. I’ll stand with you,” she said shortly.Hayden shook his head. “You’ll stay within the property bounds.”Mica huffed at him but didn’t respond. The two of them were ready quickly. Mica swept her hair into a bun as they headed downstairs. Torches lit the night, dozens of Monroe’s pack carrying them as the flames flickered and glowed. Hayden’s wolf snarled at the sight of Monroe, standing with his toes against the PCP piping at the gate.“Ah, decided to join us, did you?” Monroe drawled. “I was starting to think that your little challenge was all talk and no action.”His people laughed. Hayden ignored the low-hanging fruit and stopped just inside the protective barrier. “Are you finally going to accept my challenge, or will you continue to be a coward?”Monroe smirked. “What do you think I’m here for? It’

“Brother coming through,” Ryder called from outside, then he stepped into the entrance. He grabbed a pair of shorts and yanked them on, carefully not watching Mica and Hayden. Mica kissed Hayden’s cheek. “I’ll be up in a bit.” He nodded, and Mica slipped back outside. It was utterly dark now, and she had to use a flashlight to navigate the camp. Everyone else could simply see in the dark but with her weak human eyes… But nobody brought it up, not like they wouldhave in other circumstances. She headed upstairs once she was satisfied everyone was set for the night. Hayden waited for her in bed, scrolling through the most recent demon research on the laptop. He closed it and set the laptop on the nightstand as he grinned at her. His hair was damp from the shower, the smell of soap mingling with his manly scent. Mica grabbed a nightgown from her dresser and changed. “I don’t like that nightgown,” Hayden told her. “It’s old and worn.” “And comfortable,” Mica snarked. “Yes. Whi

MicaThe beast-demon stalked along the boundary's edge, snorting as it tested the protections. With Hayden and the rest of the special ops in the forest, Mica had ordered that they let the demon wander and not engage. Hayden had taken all the best fighters with him, meaning her order was gladly obeyed. Nobody wanted to tangle with the beast.Unfortunately, such a sight was getting more common. Even the children who used to scream and hide now ignored it, snuffling around the edges of the property. Its twisted horns glowed in the rapidly oncoming darkness. Clouds shrouded the sky, making it even darker.“Hayden will be back soon,” Mica told Tess as she nervously looked at the beast.“I know.” She shook her head. “Let’s go back into the house. I don’t trust the sources that say the beast-demons are dumb. I don’t want it to report back to Monroe about what we talk about.”Mica nodded. That was the smarter idea. The two headed into the house and went up to Mica and Hayden’s room. With all

HaydenThe scent of tilled earth met Hayden’s nostrils as he drove through the town. The team was spread through a handful of vehicles, each one keeping watch. They had just escorted the cargo van to and from the city for the latest shopping trip. Last time, Spencer had attempted to stop them from leaving.This time, they had barely seen a sign of any other wolf in the town. It seemed as though Monroe was keeping them busy elsewhere. This was why, along with food, Hayden bought a handful of camera drones from the city. Patience was a virtue, but sitting idly by without finding any additional information was a flaw that could easily prove fatal.He pulled to a stop in front of Monroe’s house and got out of the car, leaving the engine idling. The team all hopped out of their vehicles and gathered in formation around him.“Monroe,” Hayden bellowed. “Quit hiding and face me!”The door slammed open, but it wasn’t the possessed Alpha who came out. Instead, it was Spencer. He walked with a s

Mica didn’t want this to end. She never wanted it to end. And if that meant holding her questions inside and refusing to let any of them out? That’s just what it would have to be.She wasn’t going to give Hayden up. Now that she had him, she wanted to keep him. So she held him tighter, fighting against the pressure building through her. Instead, she kissed him, the way he wanted. And their eyes remained locked open on each other as they continued the dance as old as time.***Chirping birds just outside of the window woke Mica in the early morning. She sleepily buried her face into Hayden’s chest, unwilling to get up just yet. Their naked bodies pressed together, soft and warm in the cool morning. Being in Hayden’s arms always made her feel safe and secure. His strength seemed to seep into her, giving her everything she needed to face their situation.The previous night’s activities had kept them up quite late. Mica hoped she wouldn’t be too tired to perform her duties today. Not that

MicaThe pack took the news of Monroe's possession by a demon reasonably well. At least, none of them went running around flailing their hands in the air, proclaiming they were all doomed. What they whispered to each other was another thing altogether, but Mica didn’t spare the worry about that possibility. For the time being, she focused on taking care of injuries.Once she was done, Mica sought Hayden out. He was with his team, plotting out their next course of action. Mica found a spot at the side of the room to sit and wait until they were done.Maverick shot her an uneasy glance but focused back on Hayden. It seemed to Mica he didn’t want her there, but until his Alpha was going to say something, he’d accept it. Hayden hadn’t paid much attention to her entrance into the room except to briefly glance at her. “That’s enough for tonight,” he said finally. “Tomorrow, we’ll start training the pack on how to fight the beast-demons. Until they’re ready to fight, we’ll have to keep the
