[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

[Apple] My phone feels like a rock as I place it in my pocket. I thought I'd feel better, texting Thorne for a date. But I don't. I just feel angry, hurt, and confused. Just last week I was head over heels in love with Zion, ready to share the last of my body and all of my heart only to have it shattered into a thousand pieces. And then I met Sylvester. One of the sexiest, most powerful creatures on two legs. He tells me I'm exactly what he wants. Me. But I rejected him. Because his power and passion terrifies me. Because a girl like me shouldn't crave something so dangerous. When this Alexis person showed up it felt like a confirmation of every dark thought I've ever had and every nasty word that has ever been said about me. I'm too weak to be wanted, not enough, pathetic. And while part of me wants to just accept and let go, another part of me feels an overwhelming possessiveness that makes no sense. We have a contract, nothing more, a contract I hope to break as soon a

[Apple] "Thorne," I let my arms fall to my sides. "I need to speak with you." "I'm guessing we aren't going out on our date," he looks so angry his hazel eyes seem to almost spark as he turns his head towards the sun. "Just tell me one thing," he keeps his head turned as he closes his eyes and sighs. "Did I even stand a chance? Or did you already have your heart set on this wolf?" He says wolf as if it is a curse. "It's not that," I try to explain. "I'm just fulfilling the requirements of my position..." "I thought you were going to quit," he cuts me off. "You said you didn't want this job and now all of a sudden you're moving in with him," his voice raises. "That escalated rather quickly, don't you think?" Before I have a chance to reply he stomps up the stairs, leaving me alone on the street. Do I follow him? Do I give him space? In the end, the decision is made for me when Hazel pops her head out of the window. "Are you coming up, Apple? We have a surprise for you! I jog u

[Apple]The sticky smell of stale popcorn and spilled soda mixed with old pizza and teenagers seems to be universal in roller skating rinks regardless of species. If it weren't for the fact that a few of the faces were a little more furry and a few had a bit of a glow to them, I could anywhere in the world right now--even Pleasant Valley. "This is what I wanted to show you," he opens the door to a private room overlooking the rink. It is dimly lit with colorful overhead holiday lights, strung in chains across the ceiling. On the table are several large pizzas, a few pitchers of different flavored soda, an oversized basket of fries, and a couple dozen hamburgers. "You aren't a vegetarian are you?"Did he rent this room out just for us? This is almost like something a "normal" date might do, except that a normal date wouldn't order enough food to feed a football team. He drops my hand and begins making himself a large plate. "This place has the best burgers in town. I've never found a

[Apple]Grabbing a towel, I scrub the writing from the mirror as best as I can, but instead of coming clean, it leaves a pinkish-red stain across several panes of glass. Next, I try soap and a bit of cleanser I find under the sink, but the best I can manage is to make the letters a little less clear as if reading them while wearing a friend's glasses. Giving up, I look around for something to cover my face, I tie a hand towel over my nose and run around the room opening every window in an attempt to dissipate the smell. When I look over at the bed, I see that my nose didn't deceive me when I first walked in. "That nasty bitch peed on my bed!" I growl. "Come on! All doesn't she know I'm just doing my job!""She's just trying to scare you away," the voice inside my head suggests. "Don't let her win." Grimacing, I hunt under the sink until I find a pair of rubber gloves and pull the comforter off of the bed along with all of the sheets, blankets, and ruined clothes. Once I have everyth
