Fenrick

 Maggie had been smart. She hadn’t boarded another bus out of Millstone, nor had she checked her and the kids into a hotel. She had purchased an old clunker from one of the small car lots in town, paying cash. The car was too old to have an onboard GPS tracking system. If I hadn’t been worried about the reaction I would receive at not being able to locate her, I’d have been impressed.

           “I could just run myself.” I chuckled, tossing my duffle into the back of my rental. “If I never go back, the Alpha will never know I failed.”

           The ringing of my cellphone interrupted the c

    Selene“Our conversation about your work isn’t over.” Lucas cautioned me as he rose from the table.“You’re going to have to accept that I am an assassin, and I will always be one. Your sudden male ego bullshit won’t change that. I will never be the she-wolf that plans parties and sits at home with the children. If I were, you would be dead already.” I drawled, staring him down as I spoke.“It’s not male ego. My mate was almost blown to bits. I will never be ok with almost losing you for the second time.” He said, pulling out the puppy dog eyes.“Low blow, Alpha.” I scoffed. “I will promise to do my best not to get blown to pieces, but you have to back off and let me do what I’m good at. Speaking of what I’m good at, how do you want to deal with Celia and Alpha Tyson?”“The Alpha should be at the hotel where the rest of them are staying. I’m waiting

    Lucas“This is a stupid plan.” Zane said as we sped toward the hotel. “If he wins, everything we’ve done to protect this pack ends up being for nothing.”“He won’t win.” I growled. “He may be almost ten years younger, but he hasn’t trained against you.”“I hope for your sake, you’re right. I wouldn’t be surprised if your mate manages to survive your dumbass just so she can bring you back and kill you herself if you lose.” Zane laughed, lightening the mood in the car.We parked in the hotel lot, the cars with the pack warriors filing in beside us. I made sure they knew the role they played; they were only there in case Tyson tried to run. If he accepted the challenge, they would serve as witnesses on the training field. It was the only way to ensure there were no doubts that a challenge had been won fair and square. The receptionist gave me Tyson’s room number and we

    Zane“Looks like you’re with me, orders from the boss.” I grumbled as I opened the cell door.Lucas had ordered me to release the man and take him along to the prison to interrogate Alpha Lauren’s prisoner. With EJ’s escape, it was more important than ever that we used every resource we had to figure out who the spy in Dark Moon pack was.“I’m not the bad guy here man.” He smiled as he stepped out of his cell. “I told your alpha, the moment EJ slipped and said he tried to kill Selene, my allegiance changed.”“You’re still an assassin. Just because Lucas trusts you to keep your word, doesn’t mean I do.”Marcus filled the silence in the car as we drove to the prison. For someone who was meant to deal in secrets and death, he had a lot to say. I wasn’t happy to be working with him. Whatever he had told Lucas didn’t matter to me, I still viewed him as a potential th

    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

    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 “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,

    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

    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

    “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 café 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
