“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

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Keep it Locked

    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

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Not Negotiable

    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

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   In Love with the Wolf

    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

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Letting Her take Control

    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

    Connor“Lyon! I swear…”“Now, now, dear boy. Don’t get ahead of yourself. If you kill me, my boys will take your lovely mate apart. Neither of us wants that. Calm down. Have some tea.”I swiped the glass jug and all the glasses off the ornate table with a roar that shook the house. The jug exploded on the slate tiles, spattering brown liquid over Lyon’s crème linen suit, but he didn’t bat an eye. While I stood fuming, hair sprouting all over my face, canines elongated, he leisurely took out a handkerchief and wiped at the stain spreading over his pants leg.A patter of high heels on the wooden floor alerted me to the receptionist hurrying towards us. It was unlikely she knew what I was.“Control your wolf, Connor. I wouldn’t want to kill Ms. Jaffa. She’s excellent both in my bed and as my employee. Expert help is so difficult to find these days.” He said, confirming my assumption.Miles retreated just in time.“Oh, dear!” she exclaimed, taking in the mess I made and rushed forward to

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   My Lucky Day

    FrankWe’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

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   His Luna

    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.

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Give a Dog a Bone

    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

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Torture

    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

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Would have Could have

    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

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   No Rescue in Sight

    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
