JaxWe were outnumbered by three. Just as my wolf managed to get to his feet, another wolf threw himself on top of me. Around me, wolves roared, and I felt the pain of my shifters through their bonds.My claws ripped through flesh, but they had the advantage. I needed to get to my feet.Distantly, I heard Anna scream again. There was a flash of orange, and fire seared my fur. Two of the wolves yelped and released their grip on me. I rose to see Anna standing with a flaming log in her hand. Twisting, she picked up another log and swung it like a damn baseball bat.Rising, I gripped the one wolf still attached to me and snapped its neck. It fell, lifeless, to the ground, and I launched myself at the other two. One jerked away just in time, and the other one and I rumbled to the ground. It was smaller and leaner but scrappy. It got in a few good blows before I tore its throat open.Turning to search for the one who got away, I watched, in horror, as Anna pulled out the flare gun from the

Instantly, the wolves moved out. My wolf leaned down and gently bit her nose. It was a sign of affection. One he hoped would be returned.Instead, she just stared at us, her eyes glassy with fear.Turning my head, I grumbled at Saul. “Don’t look at me. I’m not hurting her. The wound is already closed, so I’m almost done. I just want to see…” his voice trailed off. “My God.”My wolf rumbled at him again.“Anna, I’m going to turn you over to your stomach,” Saul said in a gentle but strained voice. “Please do not be afraid.”He tried to turn her, but she wiggled and tried to push away from him. She didn’t growl.There was no aggression in her at all.“Jax, a little help here. It’s important.”My wolf leaned down and nudged her with his head. With a whimper, she flipped over.Fury washed over me when I saw what Saul had felt.Scars. Her wolf was covered in scars.Instantly, I yanked the reigns back from my wolf and shifted. When I put my hands on her to part her fur, she yelped, rose, and

AnnaI was in and out of consciousness, surfacing only to feel the racing panic of someone carrying me and then succumbing to my weakness. When I woke up, I was on the ground under a thick patch of evergreens. It was cool and shaded, but I could see the sun shining brightly through the openings of the branches.I’d lost an entire night.“Don’t panic. You’re not alone,” Jax said, crouching in front of me. “Or maybe that will make you panic. Hard to know, but it’s just us.”Letting out a small moan, I struggled to sit up. Leaning over, he grabbed me and gently propped me up next to a trunk. “Water. Food. Saul said it was imperative you replenish your energy reserve as quickly as possible. You lost too much blood.”Eagerly, I accepted the water and energy bar. I drank so fast that I nearly coughed the water back up.“Easy. There’s no rush.”Balefully, I glared at him. Yesterday, he was totally in a rush, and now he was acting like we had all the time in the world.“Where are the others?”

JaxAnna slept until nightfall, and when she rose, there was more color in her cheeks. I watched carefully as she rose and stretched. Her steps were steady and confident, and her own relief was evident in her small smile.“Do you think we’re far enough from the boundary to shift and hunt?” I asked. I wasn’t stupid enough to blindly trust her again, but after that last attack, I knew I needed her input. I’d only been to Wisteria Wood once when I was a kid. We barely survived the first two days before we had to turn back and take the long way around.“Probably. I don’t really know where we are, but I don’t feel…I don’t think we’ll find trouble as long as we don’t get any closer while it’s still dark.”Feel? Why would she stumble over that word?“We?” I asked as I stood. “You’re not coming unless you shift.”I hadn’t meant to snarl at her. I’d never planned to leave her. Not because I thought she would run, but because she was a magnet for trouble. Still, giving her a challenge seemed to

AnnaWhether it was exhaustion or lack of blood, I did manage to get a couple of hours of sleep. Just as the sun started to creep over the horizon, we headed out. Like I asked, Jax pulled his power in, and even I was fooled. He wasn’t hiding his wolf. That wasn’t possible, but when I focused on him, he just seemed like an average wolf shifter.That would make things easier. My injuries were mostly healed, so I moved faster and easier on foot. Jax was never more than an arm’s length away from me, and I liked that even less.He was also in a chatty mood.“You didn’t respond to my order to shift,” he said casually as we walked. “Care to explain how that’s possible?”“Maybe I’m stronger than you.”His growl told me that it was the wrong thing to say. “As I’m sure you’ve already seen for yourself, my wolf is broken. It doesn’t function.”“Since when? Did something happen in my pack?”I snorted. “Worried that your edict to torment me has backfired? You can rest easy. I haven’t shifted since

He grunted again, and I couldn’t help but chuckle. “Don’t worry, if I thought you could do this yourself, I’d be more than happy to divulge my secret. I have no desire to spend any more time with you than necessary. Now that I’m here, trapped with you and facing what is probably my imminent death, why don’t you tell me who told you I was here to begin with.”“Emerson Triggs.”Now it was my turn to stumble. Emerson Triggs was a name I knew a little too well.Alpha of the Blood Moon Pass pack. Irked that my father had kidnapped his niece, Triggs had hunted my father down and nearly ended him six or seven years before Jax did.Unfortunately, my father offered something a little more desirable to Triggs.Me.“Strike a nerve?” Jax asked. “He knew all about your trip, but he didn’t know why.He did insinuate that the two of you were close.”“Jealous?” As soon as the word was out of my mouth, I desperately wished I could take it back. But since I’d come this far, I went ahead and threw my wh

JaxShe wasn’t telling outright lies, but she wasn’t telling the truth either, and that meant that she couldn’t be trusted. Still, we made it through most of the day without attracting any rogue wolf attention.Occasionally, she would stop and stare. I did the same, but I never could see what she saw, so eventually, I stopped and just studied her. Nothing about her motivation made sense. She could have told me how to release the traps and in return, I would have given her the freedom she wanted.Maybe.I could just as easily drag her back to my territory when this was done. Did she think herself safer from me the closer we got to the witch coven?There was nothing that would keep me from her if I decided to keep her.Deep within me, my wolf rumbled. It was not a warning of danger, but rather a warning for me. Ever since Anna had come into my life, my wolf and I had been at odds with each other. He wanted his mate.I wanted to protect my clan. At the moment, we couldn’t both have what

AnnaI may have said it in passing before, but it was the first time I’d ever introduced Jax as my mate.To his credit, he didn’t blink an eye. Not at the fake name or the confession of our relationship. Not even to the revelation that Marsh was a friend of my father’s.A good friend.“A mate! Look at you! Dirk’s sweet little girl all grown up,” Marsh said with a mischievous glint in his eye. “A mate of Anna’s is definitely a friend of mine. I’m sure you have her well in hand. My little Anna used to be such a hellion.”My stomach turned, but I just laughed with him. To show even a little hint of distress would only give him more ammunition, and it was too late to signal to Jax to kill him so we could be on our way. There was something about Marsh I didn’t like. Why was he so at ease chatting out in the open?“She’s under control,” Jax said mildly.“I have no doubt. Why don’t you join me at my place, and we’ll catch up?”I tried to look regretful as I shook my head. “I’m afraid we’re j

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

Ryder nodded, then shifted to his own human form. As he was arranging the wolves into teams, Hayden strode for the house. Mica greeted him at the door, armed with a kitchen knife. She glanced over at him, relief in her eyes, then headed outside to help Ryder. Hayden resisted the urge to grab her and kiss her.He let out a shaky breath, grounding himself, as he headed up the stairs. He stopped in his room for some clothes before heading to Echo’s room. The aura-demon possessing Echo was active in her circle of salt, trying to cross the barrier. When she saw him, a cruel smile twisted over her face.“How’s Mica? I do hope that she didn’t find herself caught up in a wolf fight. Such a weak little human wouldn’t stand much of a chance, after all.”Hayden ignored the obvious taunt. “What’s the name of your leader?”“Monroe.”“And your name?”“Echo.” That cruel smile was still in place.It was expected. No demon that Hayden ever met would admit to their own name. It made him wonder if they

HaydenAt the first howl, Hayden rushed to meet the attackers. He leaped from an upper window, exploding into his wolf form as he did so. Spencer howled again and charged over the fence at him. Hayden let out a howl of his own, rushing to meet him. They clashed head-on, fur and snarls flying through the air.Spencer lunged, his teeth white against his black fur. He feinted to the left, but Hayden anticipated his motion. He lightly leaped to the side and ducked, coming up at Spencer’s throat. Spencer clawed at his flank while the wolves of the pack clashed on every side.Pain burst through Hayden’s side as his teeth snapped just shy of Spencer’s jugular. Blood soaked through his fur. Spencer grabbed at his ruff, but Hayden twisted himself, rolling. He kicked all four feet into Spencer’s stomach, his claws ripping through fur. He flung Spencer through the air.Hayden jumped to his feet and took half a second to take stock of the others around him. His team was at the forefront of the fi

Mica smiled up at him, squeezing his arm. “And if they refuse to swear allegiance, they can’t stay. For now, though, I’m accepting them under my protection. Unless you wish for me to send them away, Alpha?”Hayden gave her a dirty look but jerked his chin toward the hastily built lean-to on the south side of the house. There were three such structures now. The south was for the unmated women, the north was for unmated men, and the west was for family groups. The special ops team all shared rooms inside the house now, too, with the other rooms holding any injured wolves.“You can keep them, for now,” Hayden said. “But see that you put them to work. I don’t want them causing us any trouble.”“Of course.” Mica bowed her head toward him, fighting back a smile.Unlike Monroe and his people, Hayden cared about the pack. He might say that he only returned because Ryder and the others from Bluebell Valley wanted to save the pack, but he did genuinely care. It reminded Mica so much of the Hayd

MicaMonroe sent someone to the house every day for the next few days, demanding Elin back. He even went so far as to send Elin’s father. Hayden refused every time, but only allowed one of them onto the property. Or, as Mica learned later, only one of them could come onto the property.Spencer, it seemed, had no demon influence on him, but many of Monroe’s people were possessed.Mica tried not to think about that. She tried not to think about her own mother under a demon's influence. The few times when she and Ryder ended up working together, Echo was a topic neither of them brought up. Mica couldn’t bring herself to ask. If Ryder said there was no way to save her, then the last bit of hope she clung to would shrivel up and disappear.“Mica, we’ve received three more women,” Tess told her one morning. “Clarissa, Monique, and Rachel.”“Really?” Mica reluctantly closed the laptop she’d been working at. “Spencer’s daughters?”Hayden had been up at the crack of dawn, and Mica had gotten u

Hayden chuckled, enjoying her demanding side. He pushed in until he was fully seated, groaning as her greedy heat sucked him in. Mica whimpered and Hayden rested his forehead against hers. He waited there, letting her adjust. Her fingers dug into his shoulders. She was the one that started moving first, rocking her hips back and forth to move him inside of her. Her eyes were at half-mast, her mouth slightly open. He swelled, his skin feeling too tight to contain him.She kissed him, panting into his mouth. Hayden started to move, slowly at first but with increasing momentum. Mica matched his rhythm, her hips thrusting upward. Soon, she was crying out every time they came together. Hayden gritted his teeth, fighting back on the pressure building inside of him. Hewould see her finish first. He was getting dangerously close, so he reached between them and stroked her clit again.“Hayden,” she cried out. A flush rose up her neck and face. Her back arched, and her mouth fell open.“That’s

Mica shivered. “But I’m fat.”“You are beautiful, Mica.” He ran his hand down her hip. “Your skin is soft and smooth. Your breasts are perfect. I want to get to know the rest of you.”He slid his hand between her legs and cupped her. She felt even better without the clothes between them. The heat of her sex radiated into his hand, already growing damp. He massaged her slightly, watching her reaction. The tension melted from her shoulders. Her head fell slightly back and she let out a soft moan.“You’re beautiful,” he repeated. “And I want you.”Mica turned back to him, letting her legs open for him. Her sea-green eyes didn’t leave his face.“I think that’s the first time someone didn’t say ‘You’re not fat, you’re beautiful’ even though I am… without a doubt—” She cut off, biting her lip.“Do you want to continue?” he asked.Mica nodded. “Yes.”Hayden waited a moment before adjusting his hold on her. He slid two fingers deeper, exploring her. They brushed over her entrance, already wet
