            I tucked myself into the bushes, concealing my scent, as I watched the Alpha’s house. Word had gone out that the entire guild was to move on the Dark Moon pack, the King was growing impatient over his soldier’s inability to conquer them. I had slipped into the territory through the main roads, posing as someone visiting on vacation. It wasn’t unusual for wolves to travel back and forth across the border, though those who fled tended to use secret routes to avoid being stopped by border patrols. Not that I could blame them, most of them were refugees from attacks against their pack or family, they would have good reason to be afraid of crossing at the normal places.

            In the short time I had been in Mercius, I had discovered the Alpha had a mate and children. That information had been omitted from

The call is coming from "inside the house", perhaps? 😉

And the enemy starts approaching the walls. Hmm, wonder who would have lead them to their weakest spot. Someone who knows the territory well, maybe?

    Between Lucas refusing to mark me and seeing him with Maggie in the restaurant window, I had been avoiding him to nurse hurt feelings. I threw myself into growing my assassin training. Three new wolves had joined us. While Lucas had made the normal training mandatory pack wide, the additional training had been volunteer only. Out of ten wolves who had shown promise in the early stages of pack training, only three had agreed to join my team. I was disappointed, but with time, my numbers would grow. “You think you might wanna ease up on them?” Fenrick asked after one particularly brutal training session. “No. This isn’t like anything we’ve experienced as guild members. We’re defending an entire pack from the king and other a

    We followed the scent to the midway point to town. My eyes scanned the thinning woods before me, catching sight of a man’s back. I shifted, snagging clothing from the pack on Vic’s back before signaling for the group to shift and fan out, each armed with weapons and tranquilizer guns from the pack. I crept quietly toward the man, recognizing him as I closed the distance between us. “Hello EJ.” I called out, suppressing a chuckle as he turned wildly toward the sound of my voice. “Alive and well I see.” He replied, a sinister smirk playing on his lips. “No thanks to you.” I sneered. “Come to finish what you started?”&nb

    Maggie My hands trembled in my lap as I sat on the exam table waiting for the pack physician to return. Something was wrong, but I didn’t know what. Though I had done well to hide it, I hadn’t been able to shake the fatigue that cause Lucas to send me to the pack hospital a few weeks before. I didn’t want to worry him with the threat of the guild moving on his territory. He had already had one close call with an assassin, I didn’t need my health distracting him on patrol. Though I hadn’t told Deven about the absence of his wolf gene, I knew stress wasn’t the source of my feeling unwell. The tension between Lucas and I at the reappearance of his mate had dissipated. We had returned to a comfortable routine, growing even closer than we had been before Selene showed up. Training with the pack left me feeling more confident, which m

    Daniel “Aurora. To what do we owe the pleasure?” I grinned at the older she-wolf standing on my porch. “This isn’t a social call Daniel.” She frowned. “Can I come in?” Stepping back, I motioned for her to come inside. I had known Aurora since my days in the guild. She had been my handler as well as my daughter’s. We had been close enough that she attended my wedding to Abigail. One of the few members of the guild that I maintained contact with once I retired. It wasn’t unusual for her to pay us a visit, her and Abigail had become fast friends over the years. What was odd was her demeanor. In all the years I had known her, she had never visited my home on business. “Aurora! I’m so glad

    Selene Making my way to the pack hospital, my mind replayed the moment in Lucas’s office. He had forgiven me for breaking the bond, now I just needed him to give into our reforged connection. A plan formed in my mind as I strolled into Rory’s office. “What’s got you so chipper?” She smiled at me from behind the stack of medical records on her desk. “Did you find a place?” “Actually, I was thinking about tonight’s haze.” “Oh?” She raised an eyebrow at me, folding her hands beneath her chin to indicate I had her full attention. “I know I’ve been kind of dodgy about discussing the Lucas issue, but I’m hoping if I can

    We talked for hours, with me eventually shifting my position so that I was curled in his lap against his chest. I had never been so intimate with anyone, sharing with him my fondest childhood memories. Even though my attitude had changed toward our mate bond, it was the first time I truly understood how well we were matched. It made me wonder for a moment why I had fought against our bond in the first place. Lucas stood from his seat, scooping me into his arms as he did, eliciting a giggle. Toying with his loosened tie, I looked into his eyes, plastering on my most innocent face. “Whatever are you doing, Alpha?” I laughed.

    EJ The alpha and the she-bitch Selene left me in the interrogation room. My hands and feet were shackled together with silver, connected to a chain bolted to the floor. If it wasn’t for the silver, I could have broken free. My wolf was too far out of reach thanks to the metal burning into my skin. I was as weak as an average human male. Still, I refused to give them the satisfaction of seeing me break. I sat back casually in the hard metal chair smirking at the door. By the time another wolf waltzed into the room, my facial muscles were aching. He sneered down at me as he drew closer. It was obvious he thought I wasn’t worth his time. “Time to strip.” He grunted. “Alpha’s orders.” “And

    Lucas Rustling sounds woke me and I rolled onto my side to see my mate digging through the dresser in the dark room. The clock on the desk showed it was just after three am, neither of us has slept very long. “What are you doing?” I asked, almost afraid she would tell me she was leaving. “I missed training yesterday. It wouldn’t look good for me to miss again today.” She whispered, pulling on one of my t-shirts before settling on the bed beside me. “I hope you don’t mind, I had to borrow your spare clothes. You destroyed mine.” My eyes raked over her. My shirt swallowed her even more in her seated position. It was both sexy and adorable. I tugged the sleeve, pulling her against my ches

    “Damon, Felix, it’s time for dinner!” I called from the dining room. I smiled to myself as the boys stomped into the kitchen like a herd of elephants. Damon was the spitting image of his father. You could hardly tell the difference between pictures of them at seventeen. Felix resembled his grandfather with his mousy brown hair, but he had my striking green eyes. I couldn’t believe he was turning sixteen soon and would be finally connecting with his wolf. “Your father has to work late.” I told them, sitting the steaming lasagna pan on the table. “I expect you both to have your homework and chores done before he gets home. Am I understood?”&n

    I felt slightly guilty for leaving Lucas to deal with the execution of the spy Alpha Lauren had brought to us without me. He had agreed that it was too early for me to leave Damon with a sitter though, encouraging me to meet with Rory for lunch instead. Life had been hectic in the months since our wedding. We had only spent the weekend at the cabin, not wanting take too much time away from the pack after everything that had happened with King Jonas. By the time I went into labor, I had a strong group of elite warriors, and Victoria was more than ready to take charge for my maternity leave. With Fenrick by her side, there wouldn’t be any issues. I was glad to see that she was still making time for Rory with the added responsibility as I caught sight of them seated at the cafĂ© waiting for me.&n

    I smoothed my gown, letting my hands settle over my protruding bump as I admired my reflection in the mirror. My mother had done an amazing job pulling everything together for the ceremonies. We had opted to have the Luna ceremony as part of our wedding, inviting the entire pack. Lucas had even set up a streaming option for the pack members that wanted to witness the event and couldn’t attend in person. “You look radiant.” Rory grinned, pinning my veil in my hair. At my mother’s recommendation, I had found a stunning empire waist gown to accommodate my growing belly. The lace overlay added the extra layer of elegance with the added bonus of hiding my white flats. Heels were out of the question. The more my belly grew, the more off balance I became. The downside w

    Selene “Thanks for fitting me in, Ror.” I smiled as I took a seat on the exam table. “I could use a little of whatever it was you gave me when we first got here. All this wedding, luna ceremony, and training is wearing me down.” “So, just some generalized fatigue then?” Rory asked. “I’m honestly just exhausted. A few days to sleep would probably have me ship shape, but there’s too much to do for me to do that.” I chuckled. “Have you and Lucas been indulging in a little bedroom rodeo since the haze?” “I mean, we finished the mating process so yeah.” I replied, not sure what my friend was trying to get at.&nb

    Lucas Selene glowered at me from the passenger seat. The other four had opted to take the vehicle she had driven to Cerathe in, leaving me alone with my very pissed off mate. I refused to make eye contact with her as I drove. I wasn’t really sure what I could say to ease her anger. Rory had shocked us all, killing the king while the rest of us had been forced to submit. The soldiers had backed off the moment she commanded them too, none of them certain what they were supposed to do without the king to give them orders. Daniel took charge from there, instructing the soldiers to find the King’s mate. King Jonas hadn’t had a mark, leaving us to hope his mate could survive his death. We had been wrong. While his chosen mates were alive and well, his true mate had succumbed to death moments after the King. The

    RorySelene was pacing, her face twisted in anger when we arrived where she waited for us. It had taken us about twenty minutes to catch up to her after she took off in her wolf form. I could tell by the way she twisted her hands together, something worse than just not catching up to her mate had happened. “Selene,” I whispered, handing her clothing to her. “What’s wrong.” “Lucas, they have him. He was being silvered when I got here.” She wailed. “I was too late. Rory, the King, is going to kill him. There’s no way he won’t. I should know; I was the first person assigned to take him out.” She paced as she spoke, her words laced with an ache I had never seen in her.&nb

    Selene “Where the fuck is he, Zane?” I demanded, barging into the Beta’s office. Lucas hadn’t answered his office or cell phones, leading me to check for him at the pack house. Instead of finding my mate, I found Zane. The guilty look on his face made it clear that he knew something about my mate’s whereabouts. “He’s in Cerathe.” “And you didn’t try to stop him? Are you insane?” I screeched. “You just let your Alpha waltz into the arms of the enemy.” “I swear, I didn’t know until it was too late.” Zane retorted,

    Lucas My mind worked over what Tyson has said on the training field as I watched my mate sleeping peacefully beside me. I wanted to believe he was lying, just trying to make me lose focus to gain the upper hand, but I couldn’t shake his words. Fenrick had lost all signs of Maggie in a small town called Millstone. He believed she had purchased a car that couldn’t be tracked before leaving the place. I wanted to believe him, but she was carrying my child and I couldn’t risk her being in the King’s clutches. Kissing Selene’s sleeping face, I slipped free of her arms and the bed. I had to know for sure whether Jonas had Maggie or not. The only way to find out was to confront him myself. I would link Zane once I was across the border and well on my way. I couldn’t risk him trying to

    Selene Lucas’s hands roamed my body, his erection pressing into my backside as we moved to enter the house. “Bath first.” I ordered, freeing myself from his grasp. I laughed as he pouted in response to my words. Rolling my eyes, I dragged him by the hand to the bathroom. “You smell like sweat, blood, and Tyson.” I said, scrunching my nose. “I’d prefer not to smell another man while fucking my mate. Now strip.” “Yes ma’am.” He chuckled, removing his pants and shoes as I filled the tub. He had left his tattered shirt behind on the training field, returning home in only his pants and shoes. The few places Tyson had managed to slash him had alre
