Connor

I was up before dawn, having spent a restless night thinking about Cassie and what I planned to do. She needed to be accepted into the pack as soon as possible. Maybe even tonight. Of course, there had to be a ceremony, as was our custom, and a party afterward. I only wished it could be our union ceremony. But all in good time.

After training, I would give orders to my chefs to prepare a feast for the night. Joel, my gamma Eric and his mate will see to the preparations needed for the ceremony. The elders would need to be present as well. I wasn’t looking forward to that, particularly. But it was necessary.

Miles worried they would object to her being accepted because of Agnes.

“Why the hell would they, Miles? She’s a werewolf.” His constant worrying was exhausting.

‘She’s half human, Connor. That could be grounds for objections, especially if you tell them she’s our mate.’

“Well, that’s why we wait until she has her first turn. So, stop worrying about it!” Gods, he was just loo

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   The Claiming

    AGNESI was alone in the house, or so I thought, when I went downstairs to make some coffee and a bite to eat. But what I found was Joel, busy making breakfast. He was shirtless. I stood in the doorway, watching the muscles in his back ripple underneath his bronzed skin as he whisked eggs into a bowl. I shouldn’t have stared, but I couldn’t help it. He was even more handsome than he was eighteen years ago. Only now his body had filled out, was no longer that of a boy. He was all lean, hard muscle, broad shoulders and narrow hips. His fiery hair was long and curled on his shoulders. I never thought I'd be into a guy with a beard, especially one as wild as his, but it suited him. “Are you going to stand there gawking at me the whole day or are you going to give me a hand?” he drawled without turning around.How did he know…? Of course. Werewolf senses. “I wasn’t gawking.” My face felt like it was on fire.“Whatever you say.” He turned, and I saw a long scar marring the skin on the l

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   New Friends

    Cassandra“Lift your hands, Cassie. Protect your vulnerable parts.” Sam stood close behind me, helping me learn the proper fighting stances and blocks. Were all of them so good-looking? I have not seen a single unattractive person here. It was very distracting being surrounded by powerfully sculpted bodies.“Why do you do it?” I asked Sam. “Train to fight? Connor told me everyone must, but I don’t get it.” It seemed peaceful there being surrounded by nature. Were they expecting trouble?“Connor, is it?” he chuckled like I had said something inappropriate. “Well, honey, we live in a dangerous world. Didn’t Alpha Connor explain to you what we’re up against?” he stressed the word alpha.“I grew up in the city. Of course I know.” My thoughts immediately went to Frank and the people he associated with. They were a different breed of wolves. Ones with guns.“This is not the city, sweetness.” Sam corrected my stance. “Put your weight on your back leg. It makes it harder for me to do this…” h

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Rogue Attack

    I followed Henna down a steep slope to the creek. We walked along the bank near the water bubbling over rocks and debris.“Careful, the ground is mossy and slippery as snot.” Henna grabbed hold of my arm when I stumbled against her.We hadn't gone far when I heard voices and laughter on the breeze. There were five of them, two girls and three boys playing around in the rushing water. Their ages ranged between sixteen and eighteen, if my estimations were correct.“Hey, guys! This is Cassandra. The new girl.” Henna called out to them.“Oh, is she Beta Joel’s daughter?” the girl flicked her wet hair out of her face and waved at me. “You’re all everyone’s talking about.”The others climbed onto the bank and regarded me with open curiosity. The curiosity was mutual. They looked so ordinary; just some teens having fun. Could they really be werewolves?“I didn’t realize I would be the topic of so much interest.” I said with a grin.“Yeah,” a tall, blonde boy walked up to me, water glistening

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Safe

    ConnorBy the Gods, she was pushing my boundaries. If only she knew how much effort it took for me to leave her there at Joel’s house, when all I wanted to do was take her to my room and ravage her.‘Ravage her?” Miles snorted in my head. Those were not the words you were thinking at all. Sounded more like f…’“Shut up wolf.” I had to get her out of my head so I could get my work done. Miles wasn’t helping at all. He kept sending me images of her in that skimpy outfit and of her sparring with Sam. Of course, she knew what it was doing to me, seeing her being touched by another male. The little tease. I ought to…I stomped into my bathroom. What I needed was an ice-cold shower. She had wanted me; I smelled her arousal, the damp scent between those shapely legs when I pressed her against the tree.“Fuck!” I slapped my hand against the shower wall, cracking a few tiles. The cold water assaulted my body, but it only intensified the heat in my balls. I craved release and was just about to

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Staying with the Alpha

    CassandraBefore I blacked out, my last thought was how unfair life was. Dying a virgin after meeting the man of my dreams. I would have laughed at the irony if I weren’t so terrified.It was only when I heard Joel’s voice that I realized I was still alive and in Connor’s arms. Connor had saved me. I had a second chance! Pretending to be out of it, I snuggled into his muscular arms. Safe. I wanted to stay right there.If this was the danger that lurked here in this place, I would rather take my chances in the city. How could a person fight against such monstrous things? What were they, anyway? They looked like they had rabies or something: Cujo on steroids. Only they weren’t dogs.Then I heard Joel say, “We’ve completed the mating,” and my ears burned. How could I look him and Agnes in the eyes after what I heard? Will they be going at it every night? Hell, it was in the middle of the day, and they were screwing each other’s brains out.Oh, God! Now I have that mental picture stuck in

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Acceptance

    ConnorThe rogue attack created a buzz among the pack members. I felt their restless energy surging through the collective mind. It was good. We should never let our guard down. Just because peace reigned between the various packs didn’t mean it would last forever. Peace was a very fragile thing in our world. The slightest confrontation could set off a full-scale war. As packs grew in number, the need for territory increased, and our territory was significant, and the game was bountiful. My pack wasn’t one of the largest, but what we lacked in numbers, we made up for in strength.More pack members arrived while the omegas prepared the tables for the feast. The mouthwatering aroma of various dishes teased the senses. By the looks of it, my cooks had outdone themselves. There was more than enough food. I watched as a group of pups chased each other around the tables, squealing with laughter, and I wondered what our pups would look like. I imagined they would inherit Cassie’s stubbornnes

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   A Taste

    CassandraThere was an infernal buzzing in my mind that wouldn’t go away. I imagined that was what a hangover would feel like, even though I had never experienced one.Connor led me away to sit with Agnes and Joel. I only let him because I still couldn’t trust my legs. If I weren’t starving, I would have gone straight to bed.“You look pale, Cassie. Here, have some water.” Agnes held a glass to my lips, and I took it from her.“I’m fine, Mom,” I said, somewhat irritated, but gulped the water down, anyway. I still tasted Connor’s blood in my mouth and found it strangely sweet. It wasn’t as gross as I thought it would be. Who does that anyway? They’re not vampires.Joel leaned toward me. “It will get better. You will learn how to tune most of it out. Focus on someone you want to speak to. It’s like a phone connection.”Wow. That was the most words he’d spoken to me since he tried to give me the rundown on werewolves.Connor returned with plates stacked with food and took his place next

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Fate is a...

    My wolf? Now? I was just about to have the best make-out session with Connor, and now she showed up.“You’ve got to be kidding me…”“This is wonderful. This is great news, Cassie.” He was grinning like a fool and I was just… damn!“But I can’t,” I moaned. “This is… I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.”Connor shook me by the shoulders. “Just let her speak to you.”As if that was so easy. This was insane. I shook him off and stomped to the living room and collapsed onto the couch. I’ve heard her voice before, but that was when I thought I was losing it and I ignored it…her. Now there was just silence. Right. Now you decide to shut up.Connor came over and sat next to me. “Cassie, just try to let her through. Look at me. Miles will help her.”He cupped my face, and I leaned into his palm, staring into his eyes. They changed from blue to red instantly.“You’re not going to shift, are you?” Panic flared in my chest. I was still not used to see him in wolf form.“No, I’m letting Miles cal

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Frank's Punishment

    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

    Connor“What the hell do you mean you have buyers for my pack’s females?” Did that mean others knew about our kind’s existence? “Where’s Cassie?” Joel should have had her safe by now. 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 Alpha of Wolf Creek   Bite Me

    Connor“I want you to heal her,” Rossi said.What did he take me for? Some kind of magician?“What makes you think I can do that?” The smell of decay was overpowering to my werewolf senses. 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

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Bad News

    JoelI left Maxwell at the hotel to get to my appointment with the alphas. It was safer for him to stay out of it, because there were some alphas that still hated the vampires. Some people just couldn’t let go of their grudges and prejudices.Gods, I hated the city. Seemed like every goddamned person in Miami was out on the road. Didn’t they have work to do? But of course, it was Friday afternoon. People were rushing towards the weekend. The sooner we get Connor out of Rossi’s clutches and get back to our pack, the better. I needed the tranquility of the country, to breathe the fresh air and let my wolf run free.Also, the constant worry about everyone was giving me a fucking headache. Eric hasn’t reported back to me yet. I didn’t know whether Agnes had returned to the pack, and it ate at me. Why would Stacy do that? It just didn’t add up. Unless…No, if Stacy knew where Cassie was, she would have told Eric or an elder. It was useless trying to speculate.I felt relieved when I saw th

    Max still held my arms in his vice grip when Frank slapped Agnes, cursing because she spoiled his shoes. I screamed, my throat hoarse, watching my poor mother crumple in a pathetic heap at his feet.“Frank! You fucking monster!” No matter how hard I tried to squirm out of Max’s gorilla hold, I couldn’t.Frank stepped over Agnes’ form to get to me. Sage howled with frustration that consumed us. Both of us wanted nothing but to feel Frank’s life leaving his body. If only I could shift…“Little bitch! You near killed me. You and your whore mother left me for dead,” he snarled at me. Spittle flew from his mouth and landed on my face. He grabbed my neck. Those dark eyes said payback was coming. I hardly felt his fingers pressing into my windpipe. The only thing I felt was this overpowering rage.“Next time I won’t fail,” I grunted. It was a promise. One I was hellbent on keeping.Agnes groaned and sat up, and Frank’s attention diverted to her. He let go of my neck and I could breathe again

    CassandraTime seemed to stand still. There was no knowing what time of day it was. And the waiting was getting on our nerves. Alex brought us food and water, but no matter how much I complained and begged, he didn’t budge. Not even to let us use the bathroom. Eventually, Max brought us a bucket to use.“What the hell! Do you think we’re animals?” I ranted. “Where is Lyon? I demand to see him.”“You demand?” Max guffawed. “Princess, you are too much.” He stalked towards me, and Agnes put herself in front of me to shield me from him.“Don’t you touch her!” she snarled at him, although she shook with fear.He scoffed at her. “There’s plenty of me to go around, Mom,” he said with a wink, and laughed when he saw her shudder.It was not in my nature to flirt with random guys, especially not with disgusting pigs like Max. But I realized I’ve been going about it all wrong. I skirted around Agnes and went to him. Trying my best to look all innocent, I touched his arm, swallowing my revulsion.

    ConnorSurely, they didn’t want to turn their subject into a werewolf, did they? And how the hell do they expect to get my werewolf venom from me? I’m not a snake that they can milk it from my fangs. These people are even more insane than I thought.I heard their footstep approaching and feigned sleep.“We will have to sedate him. I’m not taking any chances.” The doctor stood a few yards away from the cage, eyeing me with suspicion. I peered at the two of them from under my half-closed lids.“Won’t the horse tranquilizer affect the venom?” Rossi asked. “I don’t have to tell you what would happen if this failed Dr. Fleischman.” There was an unmistakable threat in the old man’s tone, which made the doctor break out in a sweat. The stench of his fear disgusted me.“O…of course, Mr. Rossi. I will not fail you. I will test it on another subject first, naturally.”Godsdamnit. How many test subjects did they have? What the hell were they up to? Whatever Lyon told him, I’m guessing he didn’t

  • 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
