From dodging airborne slot machines to an unplanned swim in the fountain of a luxury hotel, it's safe to say that a trip to Las Vegas doesn't go as Carrie Blair had planned it to. A part-time teacher by day and an artist by night, Carrie thought that a fun, relaxing weekend in Vegas with her best friend was exactly what the two of them needed to unwind. Instead, her presence in the city of lights attracts the attention of a rival Alpha. Luca Ronan thunders into Carrie's life with plenty of demands and expectations of his new mate. Unfortunately for him, Carrie isn't one to fold under pressure-even when it's applied by the most intimidating Alpha in the country. Stubborn and determined, Carrie puts as much space between her and Luca as she can. But how long can she remain ill-willed against the charm and passion that comes with the formidable Alpha she has been destined to love?

Chapter 1

"Would you hush?""I didn't say anything.""Well, stop thinking so loud."I heard Mady huff from somewhere in the room behind me, but my eyes were glued in front of me.With stiff and aching fingers, I lifted the small detailing brush from the palette and leaned forward, ignoring the pain in my lower back.Holding my breath, I gently swept the brush along the canvas, letting the beige acrylic paint cover the markings of where I had outlined with a graphite pencil.I let out a long, exasperated sigh of relief as I finished the last upward stroke of the brush. "Are you done? Can I see?"I felt Mady's presence invade the space behind me as she leaned forward to get a better look at the canvas propped against the wall that I sat in front of."Carrie, that looks great.""I hate painting hands," I admitted, feeling a sudden wave of exhaustion pass over me."No, it looks really good."I glanced over the canvas that was partially painted and partially outlined with a graphite pencil.

Chapter 2

The childhood memories made me smile as we pulled into her parents' driveway. Both of our dads were outside already, her father and mine loading their luggage into the back of my dad's truck."Well look who it is," her dad said, glancing down at his watch."We were about to leave you two.""You wouldn't have left us, Mr. Reid," I said confidently as we got our own luggage from the back of my car. "You threaten us with that every time but you never have."He raised an eyebrow. "There's a first time for everything, Miss Blair."I walked over to my dad and he took my duffle bag to pack it away."Ready to go?" he asked.Mady and I nodded. We waved to our mothers, who were watching us from the kitchen window.Mady's mother, Shannon, raised the window."Drive safe! Be sure to text us when you get there!" she yelled. "And don't spend all your money in Vegas!" my mom added. Giving them a thumbs up, Mady's dad and mine got into the truck. She and I followed suit, blowing kisses and waving t

Chapter 3

I looked over at the alarm clock, noticing that it was around six in the morning, too early for vacation. I laid there for a while longer and begged my brain to turn off so I could go back to sleep but it never did.Sighing in annoyance, I rolled out of the bed.I showered before brushing my hair and my teeth, hoping all the while that Mady would wake up. When I exited the bathroom and saw that she was still sound asleep in her bed, I was slightly jealous that she had yet to be woken up by the sunlight that was peeking through the curtains.I was in desperate need of caffeine and I decided that I couldn't wait on her to wake up. I grabbed my sketchbook and pencil bag and walked towards the door.Quietly, I left our room and wandered into the elevator. Riding ball the way down to the lobby, I found the hotel's coffee shop and grabbed a seat.I don't know how long I was there, but I drank almost two cups of tea and nearly finished a sketch of the Vegas skyline before I began to get jit

"He said the scent was coming from here," one of them said."No one leaves until we find her."I looked at Mady only to see she was already looking at me. "He said 'scent'," she noted quietly. "They aren't feds."I shook my head, still trying to make sense of it. "He also said 'she'." I whispered."Who on earth could they be looking for?" I just shrugged, feeling uneasy about it all."Let's get out of here."Mady nodded in agreement as we came out of our hiding place.Ducking down so no one could see us, we quickly ran between slot machines and card tables, trying our hardest to make it to the exit door before someone saw us. Just as we were a few feet away, Mady's phone began to ring I felt my heart stop as I turned to see she was frantically searching for it in her purse."Shit, shit, shit," she muttered."Who keeps their ringer on?!" I asked incredulously.I looked over her shoulder to see that a few heads had turned. We had been spotted. "Forget about it," I said quickly.I turn

Chapter 5

Several silent hours later, we arrived back home in the dead of night. Neither of our fathers felt comfortable with Mady and I going back to our townhouse, especially while it was unclear as to why we had caught the attention of a rival Alpha.Not wishing to cause any more trouble than necessary, we both agreed to stay with our parents until things smoothed over.We both returned to our townhouse to pack a bag, taking time to gather a few things. I made sure to cover my painting before carrying it out to the car where my father was waiting.Along with paint supplies, I grabbed an extra set of pajamas and clothes for a few days. I could only hope there was a spare toothbrush at my parents' house because mine was still in Las Vegas.I said goodbye to Mady as the two of us went our separate ways, promising to meet for coffee the next morning. When we got home, I said goodnight to my parents and went upstairs to my old bedroom.After what felt like an eternity of laying in the bed starin

Chapter 6

I wanted to cringe at the pet name, but there was a part of me that desperately needed to hear him call me that again.My reply was quick."No," I said firmly." I have two jobs that I work, I can't just leave. Besides, my family would disown me if I left our pack for another-especially yours.""You misunderstood me," he said. "I didn't ask a question. I told you to come with me."I scoffed."Forgive me for acting upon my rights of autonomy," I told him, sarcasm lacing every word.My eyes drifted over his shoulder again, landing on the backdoor. Luca followed my gaze and stepped back away from me."Don't pretend you don't have a choice here," he said."You pick the door you walk through."I began to walk towards the backdoor."Okay, I guess this is goodbye then," I told him.Opening it, I walked through and turned to close and lock it behind me, leaving him to stand out on the patio. As I turned the corner to walk up the staircase, I leaned against the wall and placed my hand over my c

Chapter 7

An eerie, early morning glow settled over the fog that fell on the acres of rolling farmlands outside my window.We made it over the Oregon border into Washington after a few hours had passed and neither Luca nor myself had spoken a word.I kept my head turned towards the window for most of the ride so he couldn't see the slow, silent tears rolling down my cheeks. I already missed my family and Mady.There was also the issue of the fact that I was exceedingly uncomfortable-not just because I was somewhere I didn't want to be and alone with someone who I only knew to be a murderous tyrant, but also because my hair was still damp from the rain that had also soaked through my shirt and pajama pants.My bare feet were freezing, despite the heat being on in the truck. When Luca noticed me fidgeting uncomfortably in my seat, he sighed."We'll stop when we get to Spokane," he said. "You can change there."I turned to look at him with eyes that were red and swollen from crying."Where are we

Chapter 8

After driving around for a few minutes, we stopped next to a water tower that was so tall it peaked over the tops of the trees around us.A man was standing under a tree at the base of the tower, waiting for us. He was tall and of an athletic build. His skin, a rich shade of brown, was a stark contrast to the white t-shirt he wore. His shirt was tucked into cargo pants, which were held at the waist by a thick belt that holstered a gun. Hair shaved to his scalp, I could immediately tell he was of the no-nonsense types.Luca drove up next to him and rolled down his window to hand him my phone."Carrie, this is Lincoln," Luca introduced.I smiled and he nodded curtly.Never saying a word, Lincoln took the phone from Luca and turned to walk back towards the tower. He opened a door at the base of it and went inside."He works inside a water tower?" I asked."It's not a water tower, it's an office. He's my chief officer of information and technology. He runs a team out of IT guys out of the

Chapter 9

Luca used a PIN pad that was attached to his door handle to unlock the door before opening it and letting me walk past him. I noted it was the same four numbers that were used to open the gate.When I walked in, a large laundry room was to my right with windows that overlooked the driveway. To my left was the entrance into a kitchen that was bigger than my old apartment.White cabinets sat along the lower and upper part of the walls with a wide window along one wall where the sink was, letting in ample amounts of daylight. A large soapstone-capped island was sitting in the middle of the kitchen and was lined by six countertop chairs on one side.I had never been in a kitchen that big.Natural hardwood floors ran the length of the kitchen and into the dining area that it opened up to where a long wooden dining table was placed under a simple iron chandelier. To the right of the dining area was a circular staircase that led up to the second floor and down into the basement.Further on w

"So what else do you do besides build houses and run a pack of over five thousand people?" I asked, backing away from both his gaze and the awkward tension."I don't have time for much else, I'm afraid."We were both quiet for a moment before Luca cleared his throat awkwardly."Speaking of the pack, I have a few things I need to see to. You're more than welcome to look around. If you need me, I'll be in the apartment that's over the garage. I typically utilize that space as an office."I nodded quickly, glad that I would get some time to myself.Luca walked back into the house and disappeared.Immediately, I felt like I could breathe normally again. I slumped into the couch that was beside me, trying to figure out what to do next.It wasn't long before I felt my eyelids begin to get heavy. As I tried to wake myself up, it occurred to me that I had been awake for over twenty-four hours. I hadn't slept since our only night in Vegas.As soon as I came to this realization, I felt a wave o
