Running from an abusive husband and stepfather, Agnes and Cassandra flee to Wolf Creek where Connor, the young alpha takes them in much to the elders' disapproval. Humans are not welcome in a werewolf pack. But Cassandra is Connor's fated mate. The only problem is, she doesn't know that she is a werewolf and the beta's daughter. The story revolves around four characters who face their individual challenges and emotional problems.
ดูเพิ่มเติมFrankWe’ve been in this tourist trap for only a few days, and I couldn’t wait to get back to Miami and my air-conditioned house. But I still needed to find Agnes and beat Rossi’s goddamned money out of her. I’ve asked around, showing their photos to passersby and shop owners with no luck. Carmine’s men handed out flyers that offered a reward for any information on my wife and stepdaughter’s whereabouts. And still nothing.It wasn’t easy finding Agnes’ parental home, but I had Tony work his magic on the web and eventually he found them. Carmine drove me to the address I got from Tony. What a shocker that was.“I have no daughter,” her father told me with bitterness etched on his face. “She is dead to me.”So that was a total waste of my time. What the hell did you do to these old folks, Agnes? Not that I cared. My parents probably felt the same about me.Now, sitting at a quaint cafe, sipping an iced tea and gazing out at the beach, I wondered what the hell I was supposed to do. Rossi
CassandraLyon’s words washed over me like a tsunami of terror, and I froze in place. No, please don’t let it be true. Agnes’ hand fell away from my arm. She stepped closer to Lyon, reaching out to him.“Please, you can’t… I have money. I can give it to you. Just don’t let him take us. I beg you.” She was close to tears.“Mom…” I pulled her back. As much as I didn’t want Frank to find us, there was no way I was letting her humiliate herself before this asshole.She clung to me, and I felt her shiver. “Cassie…” her eyes pleaded with me. “You know what he will do to us.”I didn’t want to think about it. What worried me more was what Lyon said about Connor. “Why wouldn’t Connor come back?” I asked him.Once again, he gave me that look that spoke of his disdain. “The fool walked right into my trap. There will be no escape for him this time.”Agnes sank to the floor with her head in her hands. She cried openly. “This is my fault. All my fault.”“Stop it! For God’s sake!” I snapped at her.
ConnorFrom where I lay on the floor of the cage, I assessed my surroundings. Now that I was no longer on that steel table, I could scope out the place to plan my escape. I would play weak for as long as it took to put them totally at ease, making them confident that they had won. Peering out from beneath my lashes, I saw the guards approaching with… a water hose? What the fuck?‘Don’t react,’ Miles warned. ‘They probably want to test your strength.’“Mr. Rossi said you needed water,” the guard said, grinning evilly. "Okay, let it rip!" he shouted to another.Icy water shot out from the hose, right in my face. The guard cackled with amusement. I fought the instinct to jump up and shove that hose right up where the sun doesn’t shine. Instead, I groaned and lapped at the water that stung my face. It did little to ease my dry throat. I was seriously dehydrated.“Had enough? You could do with a shower as well, Fido. You stink.” He was thoroughly enjoying himself with that hose, spraying m
CassandraI was happy to see Agnes until I was not. “Mom, what are you doing here?” It scared the shit out of that she was there. It meant nothing good.She cupped my face as if she was afraid that I would disappear. “Cassie, she told me you were injured and needed me. I was so stupid to trust her, but I was out of my mind with worry about you.”“She?”“That blonde girl. Stacy,” Agnes said.“What the fuck? Stacy brought you here?” I snarled. That double-crossing bitch! I knew there was something off about her. “I will rip her to pieces!” as soon as I have my first turn.Agnes ignored my outburst. “I’m only glad you’re okay. Did they hurt you?”“No, I’m fine. Just need to get my hands free.” I pulled and twisted my wrists to escape from the ties, but they only got tighter. Frustrated and angry, my mind whirling with images of what I would do to Stacy when I got my hands on her, I tugged with all my strength. The plastic ties cut into my wrists, but I ignored the pain, and finally, they
ConnorKeep on breathing, I told myself. The wolfsbane still burned through my veins and my brain, although it lessened slightly. Miles was in agony, but he was strong. We trained for this, Miles reminded me. Yes, we trained to withstand torture, but nothing prepared us for being someone’s experiment. This was next level.The only thing that kept me from losing my mind was Cassie. I concentrated on her tiger eyes, the way they lit up when she gave me one of her mischievous smiles. We had to survive this, get her back, get my pack back. Goddess knows what evil plans Lyon had or how many warriors he had waiting in the wings.I prayed Joel made out safely.“Make the enemy believe you are weak.” I heard my father’s voice in my mind. “They will relax their guard, then you strike.”But now, I wasn’t exactly faking it. Miles struggled to regain his strength. Our healing progressed, but it took a lot out of him.“How are we doing today, Connor?” White Coat came shining with his blasted light
JoelI knew this was a bad idea. Gods damn it! Letting my alpha go into imminent danger was unforgivable. I could lose my status. Fuck that! We could both lose everything. Choosing between saving my alpha and rescuing my daughter was unforgivable. Why the fuck did I listen to him?Oh yeah, right! Because it was a damn command. I hit the steering wheel with both palms, screaming out my frustration. I turned the car around. There was no fucking way I was going back to Santa Barbara without Connor. I pulled over on the deserted road, made sure the car was out of immediate sight, and sat there to get my thoughts in order.‘What would you tell Troy if they kill Connor?’ my wolf added to my turmoil. ‘It will devastate the pack.’“Connor is tough.” I needed to convince both of us. “I will get help.”‘But what about Cassie? And our mate?’ Ross was relentless. His restlessness to return to Agnes was like an itch that begged scratching. But my priority was still to the pack and my alpha. I coul
CassandraThose two idiots had a huge argument over what to do with me. While they were busy, I pried open one window in the bedroom with some effort. The opening was boarded shut from the outside, but if I tried hard enough, I would have been able to loosen one just enough for me to squeeze through.And I would have succeeded too had Max not burst into the bedroom to check up on me.“Hey!” He grabbed me by the scruff of my neck, lifting me like a toy. “Trying your luck again, are we?”Hearing the commotion, Alex appeared to intervene. “Max…” his tone held a warning.“Bitch was trying to escape. I’m tying her to the bed.” Next minute he threw me down onto the dusty mattress and pinned me down with his weight. “Give me the zip ties!” he snarled at his brother.I struggled and cursed at them, but they secured both my wrists to the bedpost.“There!” Max grinned. “Now we can get some decent sleep.” He pinched my cheeks together and blew me a kiss.I almost threw up in my mouth. They left
Connor‘Let me shift! I’m fast!’ Miles roared in my head. He might not be faster than a bullet, but we were risking it. Desperation to get back to Cassie outweighed our own safety. But on the off chance we didn’t make it…‘Joel! It’s a trap! Get out of here!’ I yelled through the mind link while shifting into Miles. ‘Go back and save Cassie!’I heard Joel cursing through the mind link, yelling at me, refusing my orders. If they catch him, we’re all done for.“Impressive,” Rossi said, looking down at me from the landing. “Unfortunately, I can’t let you get away. You were expensive.”Expensive?Miles lifted his massive head and snarled at the old man. Then he turned and launched himself at the French windows.Simultaneously, Rossi ordered his men, “Shoot, but don’t kill him!”A deafening salvo of gunfire shattered the silence. Glass exploded as Miles barreled through the large windows. Bullets whizzed over his head. Some found their mark high on his left shoulder and right flank. But Mi
AgnesI should have gotten a burner phone, I berated myself. What was I thinking? Now I have no way of getting in contact with Joel or Connor. Everything happened so fast, though. I’m still reeling from seeing Rossi’s picture in that file. Gods! My past threatened to catch up with us. Will I ever be free of Frank and his goons?“Aaah!” I tore my hair in frustration. Now they had Cassie, and God knows what awful things they were doing to my baby.No, I couldn’t sit here in this stifling house for one more minute. I had to find her. A wave of dizziness and nausea came over me when I stood up too quickly from the bed.With a groan, I sat back down, waiting for the sick feeling to pass. It had to be all the stress making me feel so dizzy and awful these last two days. I couldn’t keep anything down and the heat wasn’t helping, either.But I was determined not to let my health stop me. Connor mentioned a man named Lyon, and that was where I would begin my search.If Lyon saw Rossi as a riva
CASSANDRAWas there such a thing as destiny? I’ve often wondered about it. Were our lives really planned out from birth to our imminent death, or was it just purely coincidence and our own actions that determined our fate?Decide for yourself. I still can’t.But what happened three days ago was the turning point that changed my life, not just mine, but all of ours, even the people that I didn’t even know existed. All our lives changed as the result of one minor act of defiance. Well, alright, it wasn’t all that minor.*****“Hurry, Cassie! Before he wakes up.” The frantic woman screaming at me was my mother, Agnes Morelli, née Browne. She hurried from the kitchen, her heels rapping a tattoo over the tile floor. Two black bags in hand, she rushed upstairs, while I marveled at the blood pooling at my feet.I stared down at the inert body of my stepfather with mixed emotions. “Are you sure he’s not dead?” Would it be a loss for humanity if he were? Certainly not.The brass naked woman I ...
