Early the next morning, I dragged myself away to go for a run and train with the guards. I let Cassie sleep in, seeing as I kept her up for most of the night. She was amazing as a lover. Her body responded so beautifully to my every touch. What she lacked in experience, she made up for in enthusiasm, and I was eager to teach her how to please me and give her immense pleasure in return. Both Miles and I were in high spirits when we finished our routine.

I was on my way to meet Joel when I saw Stacey heading for the employee bus. Joel waited for me at the car as we were on our way to the offices of Mr. Lyon.

“Stacey.” I called out to her.

She turned around and greeted me with a smile. I beckoned her to come closer, which she did. I waved the bus driver off.

“You can ride with Joel and me. We’ll drop you off.” I told her and kept my tone short. I didn’t want her to read anything else into it.

“Oh, well thank you, Alpha,” she said, keeping the smile, but there was a wariness in her green

    “Yes, indeed.” I fixed Lyon with an unwavering stare as I took my seat with Joel next to me. “First off, Mr. Lyon, I do not take kindly to threats. If you have a problem with me, why not contact me personally instead of sending your lackey to threaten a defenseless girl? I find your methods deplorable, to say the least.”His smile was supposed to be disarming but came across as cold. “A regrettable mistake for which Max was punished.” He went around his desk to place himself in front of me, so I had to look up at him.I didn’t like that, so I stood up, facing him. A movement at the door caught my eye. His bulldogs were ready to defend him, but he waved them down. Joel turned his head to snarl at them.“Let me explain,” he said, all the while keeping eye contact with me. “I purchased that property that same day you arrived there and Max thought you were trespassing.”I lifted a questioning brow, not quite believing him.He continued, “Let’s just say it was an unfortunate case of right

    CassandraConnor was long gone when I finally forced myself awake. The side of the bed was cold, and the room felt lonely without his presence. I scoffed at myself for allowing myself to feel so needy, like I couldn’t breathe without him. I was just setting myself up for disappointment. But last night… Last night was awesome. I never knew sex could be so…heck, I couldn’t even find the words to describe it. He was amazing. Every muscle in my body was still tingling from our night of passion.‘Of course he was. He’s our mate. You feel the mate bond, don’t you, Cassie?’ Sage purred and sighed with contentment.“Don’t know if I can call it that. He is an experienced lover, that’s for sure.” Not that I had any experience. “But will he be faithful to us?” I was still worried about what he felt for Stacey. She was definitely not over him.‘He wasn’t lying when he told you he never slept with her. I told you he wouldn’t.’ Sage was annoyed with me. I felt her coat bristle with it. ‘Stop being

    Connor“Fuck!” I screamed out my frustration and banged my fists against the SUV’s steering wheel. If only it was that bastard Lyon’s face, I was pummeling.Next to me, Joel sat fuming in silence.What the hell was I supposed to make of this? How far would I be able to go to make sure we didn’t lose our land? I don’t fucking know!“What in the seventh hell does he want, Joel?” I asked Joel, not that he would know. “We don’t have that much capital.”“Fuck him and his mind games. Let’s get in touch with the pack’s lawyer. Should have thought about that sooner. I’ve been meaning to see him about a personal matter as well.” Joel tugged at his unruly red beard.Robert H. Maxwell was our lawyer, a vampire who worked for my father. It wasn’t a bad idea per se, but knowing Maxwell, he would involve my father. But that wasn’t something I wanted. What kind of alpha would I be if I couldn’t take care of matters on my own?“You know what would happen, Joel. Maybe if I just went to the council mys

    Joel“Joel, you’re home early.” Agnes greeted me, wiping her hands on her hips. She was arranging some wildflowers in a vase in the middle of the dining room table. Every time I returned home, seeing her there, breathing in her scent, it filled me with a sense of wonder. Part of me couldn’t believe that she was there. That if I blinked, she would have just been a figment of my imagination and gone in a puff of smoke.“Agnes.” There was still some tension between us. I was having a hard time with her refusal to let me help her get a divorce. But I’ve made my decision. I should have thought of it sooner. Locke wasn’t making any progress, or he was too busy chasing tail to help me. I’m taking Agnes to see Maxwell.“I’ll make you some coffee. Have you spoken to Cassie lately?” Agnes bustled about the kitchen, full of nervous energy.“Agnes, sit down.” I pulled out a chair for her. She left the mugs on the counter and did as I asked. When my hands rested on her tense shoulders, she gave a

    CassandraConnor could go to hell for all I cared. I will not let him mold me into being someone like Stacey. What I don’t need is another daddy to tell me what to do, how to act and how to behave like a fucking lady. Gods, I was livid. I didn’t intentionally dress this way to seduce anyone, for fuck’s sake! He could be such a control freak, and I hated that.Maybe I was insecure, like Sage said, but I couldn’t help comparing myself to Stacey. Not that I was ugly or anything. It was the fact that she was Connor’s first love, and how was I supposed to compete with that? I didn’t get this whole mate bond thing. Stacey said it was a con and I could totally believe it. Because it sounded stupid. Fated mates. Like fate or a moon goddess could make you fall in love.‘You are in denial, Cassie.’ Sage grumbled. ‘I know you feel the connection to Connor. Like he is the other half of your soul. Why can’t you just accept it?’“I don’t know what I feel.” It was partly true. I felt horrible. My eg

    ConnorMiles strutted back to the pack house and all the way up the stairs to my floor with Cassie clinging to his back like a limpet. The beast was overflowing with joy at having her close. At least it looked like she accepted him. Maybe it was too soon to speak of love. I shouldn’t have jumped the gun, and she didn’t say it back. Didn’t think it would hurt so much, but it did.But can I blame her? We hardly know each other. I had to give it time. Our mate bond would grow stronger when she had her first shift. I just know it. It’s like she doesn’t trust it. Stacey was right, though. Cassie was insecure and part of it was my fault. I had to assure her of my love and commitment to her and, unfortunately, Stacey’s presence wasn’t helping.However concerned I was about Cassie’s feelings towards me, I was just as worried about keeping possession of Wolf’s Creek. I owed it to my pack. Most of us were born here, it was all we knew. Where would we go if I lost it? Joel told me to call my dad

    I woke Cassie with a gentle kiss. It felt wonderful to wake up and see her sleepy face smiling at me. I could wake up every morning with her in my arms for the rest of my life, and it would never be long enough.“Hey, sleepyhead. I’m going to train with the pack. You want to come?”She wrapped her arms around my neck and groaned against my mouth. “Ugh, you’re a morning person. I need coffee before I can function.”I laughed and nibbled her ear. “No coffee. Training first, then breakfast.”She pushed my face away, pouting. “You’re torturing me.”“I can do a lot more,” I chuckled, pulling off the covers revealing her glorious nakedness. My hand slipped between her thighs, and she squealed.“Connor!” she batted my hand away and fled to the bathroom. “God, you’re insatiable!”She wasn’t wrong. I wanted her all the time. But there were other matters to attend to.***“What kind of business do you have in town?”I didn’t want to worry her unnecessarily. “Nothing big. I must see a client.”“

    CASSANDRANaughty lingerie, he said. I giggled all the way into the shopping center. Would there even be such a shop in this place? I wandered from one shop to another, not knowing what I wanted or what Connor would find suitable. If the dress I wore was anything to go by, I guessed it would be conservative at best. Although I really liked the yellow sundress, it made me look grown-up paired with golden sandals and clutch included. Busy admiring myself in a shop window, I suddenly had an eerie sensation that I was being watched. My first panicked thought was that Frank had found me. But only for a moment, then I laughed it off as being paranoid. There was no way he would know I was there. I carried on walking around, window shopping, and not finding anything that piqued my interest. Until a delicious smell of baked pastries led me by my nose into a bakery.I bought a custard slice and a large latte, using Connor’s card, feeling slightly guilty. But the guilt soon vanished after eatin

    CassandraAll this time I held onto the hope that maybe Sage was right, Connor would come to save us. But now even that slight hope was fading, and I feel fear tightening its steely fingers around my mind. Sage stayed quiet as well, and her silence scared me even more.I didn’t trust Frank. When he took Agnes, I knew that glint in his eyes. He was going to hurt her. I just knew. And she was terrified. I smelled it, and it was nauseating. What if he killed her? I got increasingly scared as time went on.No, no, he wouldn’t. I tried to convince myself that Frank was much too much of a narcissist. He valued his own life more than anything, and he needed to bring that money back to his criminal boss. Our only hope was that the pack would come to save us. Yes, yes, I held onto that sliver of hope. It was only a matter of time. Right?Alone with four horrible men that discussed me like I was their next meal, I sat huddled in a corner, my hands and feet bound with steel wire they found lying

    ConnorEver since we left Lyon’s place, Joel acted differently. He insisted on driving, but his hands trembled on the steering, his face set in stone, keeping his gaze fixed on the road. He didn’t answer me when I asked him what the matter was, but it seemed as if he were in pain.The gate swung open as we approached, and the guard at the gate acknowledged us briefly. “Ms. Agnes and some strangers are at your house, Beta Joel. I’ve alerted the gamma.”He had hardly finished talking when the SUV sped off, spraying dust and gravel all over. Neither of us spoke. The boy didn’t mention Cassie, and I was going out of my mind. So, this was why Joel said the pack needed us. But it wasn’t the pack. It was Agnes.There was a large man standing next to the parked car on the front lawn. When he saw us, he made a beeline for the house, but Joel was out of the SUV before you could blink.Joel grabbed the man and smashed him with overpowering force onto the car’s roof. Bones cracked along with the

    Agnes“Make yourself decent,” Frank said with contempt in his voice as he pulled his pants up. “Get in the car. How far is this place, anyway?” He was impatient, as if it were my fault we wasted time.Slowly, I slid down from the hood of the car and pulled my skirt down, fixing what I could of my blouse. What was left of my panties lay in the dirt, trampled, like Frank had trampled all over me my whole fucking life and I had let him. I let him do this to me, and that was the ugly truth.Strange, but while he was busy raping me, I felt a strange calm come over me. it was like an outer-body experience, watching from outside myself while he rammed his dick into me. It happened while I thought of Joel. Joel, the only man I’ve ever loved. And I knew that this was the last time Frank would ever do this to me again, because I was done being his punching bag.“It’s not that far anymore.” I said with a voice I didn’t recognize. “Just follow that road until you come to an iron gate.” I pointed

    “Joel?” I shouted through the mind link. “What the hell are you doing here?” He was so going to pay for not following my orders. I felt sick to my stomach, thinking Cassie was still in Lyon’s clutches.“No time to explain,” he growled. “I brought back-up.”Rossi tried to crawl away while I was busy arguing with Joel through our link, but I caught him and pinned him down. Miles let out a fierce roar that shook the building, and the sour stench of urine reached my nostrils. The man had pissed himself from fear.‘Let’s get this over with,’ Miles snarled. ‘We must find Cassie.’ He hovered over the sniveling man, ready to rip through his throat. But I stopped him. Rossi didn’t deserve a quick death.Seconds later, Joel and other unknown wolves burst through the double doors. The sounds of gunshots and anguished screams followed them.I glared at Joel, who bared his neck for me. “No use acting all submissive while you disobeyed my order, Beta.” He wasn't off the hook, and he needed to know

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   The Return

    ConnorOn the way to Alpha Harald’s pack, Joel told me how he deducted that Agnes’ husband had gotten hold of them. I listened in silence, holding back my anger at his disobedience. Although I had to confess, I was angrier at myself. I blamed myself for putting Cassie and my pack in the position we were in. Joel did his duty as was expected of him. I couldn’t fault him for it, and I should thank him for what he did, getting the alphas to help.We cleaned up at Alpha Harald’s, washing the stench of death off, and got ready for our trip back. As promised, Alpha Harald’s helicopter was waiting for us.“You can’t be sure, though. It could be someone else.” I told Joel as we were waiting for take-off. The blades of the helicopter whirred overhead, the noise overwhelming, and the interior cramped. But it was our best option. Time wasn’t on our side.“You’re making assumptions based on your emotions.” I knew he was hellbent on finding Frank and making him sign the divorce papers. But then th

    AgnesFrank wore an expression I knew too well. It meant nothing good to me. His fingers bore into my bicep like he wanted to leave permanent marks on my flesh. I knew he was possessive, and the mere mention of another man made him livid. Cassandra’s connection to the pack was our only hope. If we could just get near enough for her to call them through the mind link.But that hope faded like mist when he told his men, “Tie the little bitch up. If you don’t hear from me within the half hour, you can have fun.”The men snickered at his words, and I felt sick.“No, no,” I protested, my throat constricted with fear. “She must come with. Frank, please. Don’t leave her with them!” I was desperate, near hysterical. Not that it bothered Frank. He laughed at my feeble attempt to free myself from his grasp.“Hey, asshole!” Cassy shouted at Frank. “You need me to get into Wolf’s Creek!” She struggled with the man holding her, but it was in vain.Frank turned around to sneer at her. “I’m sure you

Don’t tell me my beta didn’t obey my orders. I will have his head for that!Adrenaline surged through my muscles, dulling every ache and pain. Miles, energized with the urgency to get out of the place, pushed at his boundaries. ‘We must act now, Connor! Kill them! Kill all of them. Our pack and our mate are in grave danger.’ He howled with rage. ‘Let me shift! Now!’I got up off the floor, feeling the power of my wolf strengthening me.“Cassie? Oh, of course… She’s with Lyon. As for the others… I gather you don’t know.” Rossi tapped his chin with a gnarled finger. “This was the deal I made with Lyon. For you and the young females of the pack. Cost me a lot of money, but I have eager buyers ready to bid…”“You’re auctioning them off?” I moved closer to him, but he didn’t even realize it, being too caught

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   A Gamble

    CassandraAgnes and I sat huddled together at the back of the speeding car. We stayed silent because words were unnecessary. I knew her thoughts. She would take Frank and his henchmen as close to the pack as possible so I could link them. My only concern was that Frank and his men were armed, but the pack could then safely transform into their wolves and attack. Frank and his buddies were in for a nasty surprise. It made me smile thinking about it.Agnes pressed my hand, and our eyes met. We didn’t need a mind link to understand one another. Yes, it was a gamble, but it was our only chance.“Where are you taking us?” We were driving out of the town, but further away from Wolf’s Creek.Frank turned around in his seat to smirk at me. “Somewhere no one would hear your screams,” he said, and I felt Agnes stiffen next to me.I stroked her arm to reassure her. He wouldn’t kill us. At least, I didn’t think so. But he was also unpredictable. There was a fifty-fifty chance if he got his blood

The girl was nothing but a living corpse being kept in limbo by the beeping machines.“We’ve seen you heal, Connor.” The doctor puffed out his chest, trying to look important. “There has to be a way we can apply your power.”“Look, I don’t know what Lyon told you, but he obviously doesn’t know everything. She’s barely alive.” I shook my head. “My bite will kill her. I promise you.” They were completely delusional. No matter what they did, her death was imminent. They would have no use for me then. Unless there was more to it than just this. “It’s not me, it’s the wolf that heals me. But you cannot separate me from it. I was born with the spirit of the wolf, gifted by the Moon Goddess.” I had no problem exposing myself to them. They wouldn’t live to tell anyone else.“That is what we have test subje
