JerichoI allow Amalie to cry until her tears dry by themselves. I’ve seen her cry before, but I’ve never seen her break down like this. It’s as if it all has suddenly become too much for her, and she finally gave in to all the terror she’s had to endure these last six months.When she’s done, I le
“No.”“Yes, and I’m sorry, but it’s the only way I’ll get her to let her guard down.”“Why can’t you just break the bond?”“What happened when you tried to break your bond with Easton?”She’s quiet for a long time. I can feel her turmoil. The unending suffering my words alone are causing her, but I’
JerichoI have no idea how far Lupus Dominus actually is or if Harriet can make it to the edge of the gnarled woods before daybreak, but when the sun rises, I’ll take that as her sign that she doesn’t intend to come.It's a big Hail Mary, and the odds are not on my side.If she doesn't show up, I’ll
“And now you have all the power you ever wanted. All those wolves that mocked you are dead or feral. Was it really worth our son’s life?”“Yes! That was why he was born. That's why I had him. That was his whole purpose in life.”Goddess. Fuck. It's like being hit with a sledgehammer between the eyes
AmalieI cannot stop crying. I sit with my legs pulled up and my forehead on my knees, crying so hard that my whole body is shaking.I’m not just crying about Jericho’s ugly words. Deep down, I know he didn’t mean any of it. I’m crying because it all came crashing down on me at once.I cry for the
“He chose her,” I say to Edira. “He didn’t. He wouldn’t do that to us.”I’m so tired that I can’t think straight anymore. I keep seeing Jericho kissing Harriet. Over and over and over again.Vera switches on the indicator and turns off the main road into a parking lot. “Not exactly five star luxury
JerichoI don’t move when Harriet steps up to me and wraps her arms around my neck. I shudder when her skin touches mine and actively have to stop myself from pushing her away. The bond is there, but it feels wrong now. It's as if I'm touching death itself.I put my walls up so Amalie won’t feel it.
Jericho Amalie does find me, but thank Goddess she didn’t drive herself. Vera did. They pull up right next to me. I can barely move. All I can do is listen to my mate as she falls out of the car, dashes into the bushes to find me. She throws herself in my arms, kissing me hard and fiercely, reaw

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
