AmalieFor the first time since my wedding night, I went back to Easton’s bedroom. It’s as clean as always, but the scent of blood is not that easy to get rid of. There’s no mattress on his bed, and all our clothes have been removed from the wardrobes.My phone is still on the dresser where I left
Jericho“Amalie!” I try to get her attention through our open mind link, but she ignores me. She has been ignoring me for thirty minutes or more now. “Amalie! For fuck’s sake, answer me.”Nothing. Dead silence.Brent and Victor slide in on either side of me. I am forced to break the mind link with A
JerichoMy warriors come dashing through the trees, already in their wolf forms. I don’t shift unless I have no other choice. Even on the full moon, I shift by myself. My wolf draws too much attention.I never knew my mother, and my father was tight-lipped about her. The only thing I know about her
AmalieOne moment, I’m still dragging the unconscious Luna Gayle into the panic room, the next it feels as if I’m being consumed by a white light that’s both warm and cold at the same time. It’s terrifying, yet comforting at the same time.A slow, low buzzing echo inside my head and then something t
AmalieJericho actually looks stunned by what I said. Even I am surprised. I did not expect to tell him right here and now that I’ll be his mate. Nor did I expect to say the words revenge and Easton in the same sentence.“I told you already…I’ll kill Easton,” Jericho says.“Death is too merciful,” I
JerichoI have to be very careful with what I do and say next. My plan was only to take Amalie back with the story that Piers poisoned her out of spite…but Zephyr won’t let her go, and all I can do is run my fucking mouth.No amount of arguing with my wolf will change his mind. I’m a hair away from
“No. I think allowing your wolves to do whatever they want is weakness.”“It’s the other way around, Landon. It’s very easy to be cruel, even easier to take what I want when I want it. Dominating weaker wolves is the easiest of all. Going against my Alpha nature takes a lot of strength. Taking good
JerichoAfter a restless night of tossing and turning, I wake at the break of dawn and immediately open a mind link to Amalie.She’s still asleep, but at least I know she’s alive and well. I didn’t feel any fear from her during the night. She was calm and completely in control of her emotions. She
Dear Readers,I would like to take this moment to thank those of you who stuck around to follow along on this adventure.I had the most fun with you guys and exploring this story with you by my side was an amazing experience. Please know that I always try to read every comment, and even if I don't a
JerichoI look at Amalie where she sits on the windowsill, watching the flurries of snow drifting past the window. It’s a quiet, peaceful winter. We’re snowed in, and we will be for the foreseeable future. I welcome the reprieve, but Amalie’s going a little stir crazy.It’s time to tell her about o
AmalieMaggie’s wedding is beautiful. She is radiant in her blue and silver gown. She decided to forego the traditional white and gold gown, claiming that she had no right to wear it, but the blue suits her perfectly.In the absence of our father, Jericho walks her down the aisle. A knot forms in my
“She’s in heat. She’s ready.”If only life was as simple as our wolves wanted it to be. “Her body is. Her mind isn’t. She trusts us. If we don’t keep our word, she’ll stop trusting us. Is that what you want?”He goes quiet, but flee to the back of our consciousness where he can sulk in peace. The s
JerichoA nesting she-wolf doesn’t want to stray far from her nest. In the old days, long before we understood fated mates and lived like savages, a she-wolf’s heating cycle was one of her most vulnerable times. She’d built a nest for herself and her partner, a place where they’d be safe from other
JerichoThe last three months passed in a blissful haze of peace and quiet, although it made a massive dent in my finances. It doesn’t matter. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that you can always find ways to make more money, but finding peace - that is much harder to come by t
Amalie“I’ve always wanted a fall wedding,” Magnolia sighs wistfully, and sits at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee.She has a huge folder with her. It contains all her ideas and plans for her upcoming wedding. We’ve been back home for three months now. Summer is behind us, and winter is fast
AmalieOur last night at the compound is a restless one. Neither Jericho, nor I, get much sleep. My thoughts are with Shawna at first, thinking about what she must be going through. I hope that Brent treats her gently, alhough a big part of me knows that he will. He loves her too much to hurt her on
AmalieI find Shawna sitting outside at a little picnic table. The compound is actually quite nice and peaceful now that all the unsavoury elements have been removed. That prevailing sense of dread that hung over the place is gone. Jericho purged it somehow.It reminds me a little of a holiday reso
