[Sylvester]As she takes his hand and they walk up the stairs together, my stomach sinks and my heart feels like it has stopped. As I move towards the car, my leaden legs resist moving away from the place where I held her in my arms, the smell of our mixed scents calming me, relaxing something deep within. “We need to go get her,” Rufus insists. “She needs us.” “Maybe she doesn’t” I push back, “Maybe we need her.”What is wrong with me? I’m acting like a fool pup sniffing around the skirts of his first she-wolf. The way I crave this human girl is not natural, and yet it feels like the most natural thing in the world. My phone rings. It’s the council. I don’t want to answer it, but I know that if I don’t they’ll make trouble for me one way or the other. “Hello, Alpha speaking,” I answer and regret my decision immediately as Beta-Emeritus Clancy berates me for my treatment of Alexis, who went straight to the council after our little discussion this afternoon. “The council demands yo

[Apple]Today is going to be different, better. I can sense it. “I taste change in the air,” Hazel announces as she enters the kitchen and pours herself a cup of coffee. “Can you feel it?”Oddly enough I can. As the Autumn winds blow through our open window they feel electric, alive with possibilities. After school, we all gather back at the apartment to prepare for tonight. Iris brings us all uniforms from her work. “My boss is so grateful that you are willing to help. We’ve been short-staffed staffed and the holiday season will be here soon.” We decided to take my car since it is the nicest and roomiest. Thorne is the last to arrive, and I wave him over. “You’ll have to get dressed there,” I hand him the tuxedo that the male servers are expected to wear. He smiles at the short black dress that makes up my uniform. “We look like we’re guests, not servers. “Hey lovebirds hurry up,” Iris shouts from the passenger's seat and the other two chitter like schoolgirls as I roll my eyes.

[Apple]The Alpha is looking at me like something sweet to eat and I find it very unnerving. As he approaches, I take an involuntary step backward and his eyes go from smoldering to sad in a blink. "You're hurt," his tone tells me that he knows that I'm not just hurt physically. Seeing him with that other Luna just reminds me of all the ways I'm inadequate. "Why are you here," I demand, angry that he'd follow me. Why does he care if I'm hurt or not? I'm nothing to him. "I was invited," he says nonchalantly as if the answer should be obvious. "No, I mean in this bathroom. It's a women's bathroom."He shrugs. "You are hurt. Besides, it's just you and me. I made sure to lock the door."He takes another step forward and my back hits the wall my heart beating rapidly. He could do whatever he wanted to me and nobody would know. I'm so insignificant, he could get rid of the body and it wouldn't matter."You shouldn't be here," I glare at his smug expression and his fancy suit. "Your date

[Sylvester]"Alexis," I close the door behind me, shielding Apple from view. "Why are you hiding in the women's bathroom," she raises her eyebrow before leaning in closely. "And why do you smell like someone else's blood?""I don't need to explain myself to you," I push myself into her space using my Alpha energy to make her take a step back. "I am Alpha. You aren't even my Luna." "Yet," she challenges me, meeting me eye to eye. "But I know you need me, Sylvester. Beta Chancy brought me back because you're so desperate." She flashes a little fang as she licks her lips, pressing her chest against mine. "I don't know why you are fighting me. I know you want me, Sylvester. You aren't fooling anyone with this game you're playing with this little tart of a Rental Luna." Growling, I push her away from me. "Know your place." She falls to her knees and bares her neck, tilting her head submissively while batting her eyes and holding my gaze. "Apologies, Alpha. How can I make it up to you,"

[Apple]Alpha Sylvester turns me away from the lights of the party down a quiet street. The moon is rising to the east, full and bright, over the hillside dotted with expensive homes. In the quiet of the moonrise, he goes over his situation, telling me his dilemma. The council is forcing him to get married. Having a Rental Luna is no longer good enough. He needs a fiance."So are you asking me to be your girlfriend?" I question him, not quite understanding what it is he is asking for. "Your pretend fiance.""Yes," he confirms. "How is that any better than having a Rental Luna?" I'm still confused. "And why me? Wouldn't a real wolf be a better option in this case?"He shakes his head. "I want you for the same reason I wanted you to begin with. You aren't demanding anything of me, you don't want to be my wife or my mate. This is just a business transaction," he insists, almost as if he is trying to convince himself that this is true."Also Rental Lunas come and go. They are temporary

[Apple]When his wolf takes over, everything about this mysterious Alpha changes. His stance, already so strong, becomes even more dynamic and powerful. His expressions become both more open and more predatory, without games or artifice. He is simply who he is, not trying to hide or be anyone else. "Why?" I ask his wolf directly. "Why does it have to be me? What makes me so special?""Because you are you, and you smell like home." He takes a step closer and I find myself mesmerized as he stalks me, his movements more graceful and dancelike, edged in promised passion. "You taste like trust, and you look at me with eyes that are full of respect and honor." "Your words are very pretty," I blush. My body reacts strongly to Sylvester's charms, but his wolf is even more irresistible. "But I need more than pretty words to keep me safe."The way his body makes me hum when he looks at me with his shining eyes frightens me. I know he is hunting me, even now as he is speaking to me calmly. I am

[Apple]"A date," I say a little louder than I intended. A few people turn to look, but then smile and go back to their pizza. "Like a date, date?" "Well, yeah," he smiles, touching my hands without holding them, uncertain of his welcome. "I like you and I'd like to get to know you better." My mind immediately flashes to Rufus, Sylvester's wolf, and the way his eyes glowed when he said I was his and that I belonged to him. The last time I spent time with Thorne, the Alpha nearly took his head off and we had been with a group of other people. It didn't matter to him, however, he had sensed that Thorne might want more than just to be friends."I don't know if that's a good idea," I explain as I move my hands away from his, not wanting to give him the wrong idea. "At least not until I've spoken with Sylvester about me seeing other people.""If you're worried about the Alpha," he interrupts me. "Don't. He won't harm me. He can't. I won't let him." He sits up proudly, confident that he h

[Sylvester]The Board of Directors is unhappy that I reprimanded Alexis at the gala. "If she is to be your Luna, you will need to handle your private issues in private. What you did was an insult to the other packs as well as Silver Crescent."I was ordered to "play nice" and "make a good show.""I have no interest in mating, marrying, or marking that bitch," I scream loud enough that a few employees passing my office windows jump. "Just take her out to lunch and make sure the cameras see you," Beta-Emertis Clancy insists, "You haven't officially declared anyone your new Luna. Rental Lunas don't count, not unless your relationship shifts to something more meaningful." His sneering tone oozes through the phone. I wish he was here so I could punch his canines in. "Unless you were planning to propose to your Rental Luna? Where was she, buy the way, she has been noticeably absent.""She needs some private time to adjust to the pack," I lie smoothly. It isn't a total lie. I intend to retur
