Marta smiled at me softly and nodded toward them. “Have a look. I think you’ll be impressed. Polly is quite exceptional.”
I flipped them over and leaned to expect them in the dimness of the hut.
Lyra Lani lifted the candle closer to me so I could see them better.
I gasped, impressed. “Polly!”
It was a beaming likeness of me. Down to the curve of my hair along my shoulders and my long lashes framing my eyes. But she’d somehow made me seem brighter. Like a bit of smiling light carved into the leather.
Polly finally looked up to smile. “You like them?”
“Love them!”
“May I see?” Lyra Lani held out a delicate hand.
“Of course!” I proudly put a medallion in her palm so she could have a

“I know…” I whispered. Gaze falling. “But my mates thought you hold more power over him than you sound…”“Did they?” The smiling note in her voice made me lift my head.“Does that please you?”“It does some, that they’d think so.”“One confided to me that you’ve had him under your sway since you were nearly pups.”That made her face brighten even in the dark. “Thank you for that Vanna. But please don’t say such things to anyone else.”I understood why she asked. It could make the alpha seem weak.“I won’t.” I promised.***“I will need all your help very soon.” I told my mates around the dinner table.Vanquish set down a hawk’s leg to eye me. “Did you get the Alpha’s permission?”“I talked to Lyra Lani.”“T
The Pack's Girl My Favorite Brother
Killian scooped me up and put me on his knee.“Look at this face.” He caught my chin and turned it side to side as if to display my lovely angles.I turned my head in pretty poses as if to show my innocent, sweetness.“Oh, I see it.” Aviari said. “She’s a tiny, evil, blonde version of you. Equally as dreadful.”Killian clucked in mock outrage.Both my little brothers were snickering behind their hands.I shot them a venomous look then remembered I was supposed to be revealing how angelic I was.Least that’s what Killian always said.That’s why he’s my favorite.“Fair bit of demon in her.” Aviari teased. Giving me a broad grin.“Not in the least!” Killian defended “She’s virtually perfect!” Killian said. Giving me a wink through one of his laughing blue eyes.***Aviari had walked ba
The Pack's Girl Leaving Me
Jaecar helped Samantha out of the water and into a filmy yellow summer dress.I turned away since neither of them seemed bother by their nudity. Being mated suited them.I’d never seen Samantha seem so confident.Soon they were chatting and elbowing each other playfully.Jaecar stepped behind her and tenderly twisted her hair to wring out some of the dampness for her.“Thank you.” She peered at him over her shoulder.“You’re most welcome.” He massaged her shoulders. “Now, let’s go find some critters for you to sketch.”He collected her drawing book from a stand of trees and held it up to show her.She caught his arm and they wandered off into the trees. Looking so happy I wondered if they might take off skipping.Well, they seem to be working out well.***I knelt next to the cool water and began sloshing my face. Glimpsing some small f
The Pack's Girl Ugly Decisions
“How will I know you’re okay?” I asked Aviari in the memory. My small body was jerking with the weight of my grief. I didn’t want any of them to go.And I was so little and felt so helpless at the thought of all my older siblings leaving me. I imagined seeing a breakfast table where only half of our family sat.Instead of a room brimming over with laughter and teasing.“We’ll write you.” Baila Lae stepped behind Aviari and dropped a hand to his shoulder as if to give him strength. She gave him a gentle squeeze.“Dad is going to bring letters back and forth so none of us will feel alone.”“I can’t know where you are?” I looked up at her. Wanting to cling to her dress and beg her to stay with me.“No, Sweetheart.” She dropped to her knees next to Aviari to look at me. “It’s not safe for any of us that way.”“What if you&r
The Pack's Girl Favors
I opened my eyes and found Vanquish staring down at me. Still strung across his thigh.“Did it work.”“You’re a genius.” I sat up and twisted to catch his face. Applying my lips to his in a long kiss. I leapt to my feet to run back to the cottage. But his vise grip on my wrist brought me to a dead stop before I started.I gave him a slow look.“Ah, ah. I helped you. I deserve to know what you’ve discovered.”“So many siblings, Vanquish.” I dropped to my knees next to him. Excitement written over me. “More than I thought.”“More than the two that died?”“Yes.” I nodded.“Are they alive?” His voice rose with interest.“I don’t know…But I desperately want to.”“What are their names?”“Killian, Aviari, and Baila Lae.”“A sister?” Vanquish
The Pack's Girl Time
Lyra met with me later and told me she’d let me know when it was time for us to go.But I found myself increasingly impatient. Agitated enough to spend half the night pacing.Every night for the last sevennight.And I knew that Hunter had been sneaking beyond the wall under the tenuous guise that the Alpha had given us permission to do so, though he’d not condoned it yet.It’s a dangerous game for Hunter. And I was often awake worrying for him until he got home.Looking weary and exhausted and flopping into his bed miserably.Indicating to me, he’d not yet found the house I so desperately needed to see.Come on. I pleaded Heavenward. Where is it?I was sure that if Hunter couldn’t find it, no one could.***HUNTERHunter had been sneaking beyond the wall in the evenings to search for the house as Vanna Rae had asked. Knowing
The Pack's Girl Things to Fear
That thought scared me because I knew how clever our Alpha was and that he missed so little.He seems to see everything…And I knew all the things that could happen to Hunter for doing what I’d asked.What I begged him to.I couldn’t imagine the Hayden cottage without Hunter’s quick smile and booming laughter.It’d never be the same if something happened to him… I felt my hands shake as I had a pang of conscience for putting him in such danger.***Hunter leaned sideways and checked on marks staining the trees to mark a path.I heard a screech from above me and looked up. Ducking low behind a bush as Hunter flipped around to see it. Watching it with a frown.Stunned to see the largest Hawk I’d ever witnessed flying low above me. Coasting below the tree canopy and seeming very intent on Hunter and I. His vibrant green eyes were visible even to me.
The Pack's Girl Reverie
The pain I felt was suddenly overwhelming as I missed them.Aviari came back to me in flashes of him taunting me mercilessly. A cocky smile and a jokingly rotten nature that often drove him to hold toys above my head. Or hide my favorite doll.But then there was Baila Lae. And I saw her face in a sudden flash. Haloed by light from the window behind her as she laughingly swatted at her brother and told him to be nice to their baby sister.As if I were something precious to be guarded.Then I thought of dancing blue eyes and wild dark waves and knew that I was remembering Killian who was tall in his own right but nowhere near like Aviari. He looked much more human.Normal. Almost.But I thought he was surely the most handsome young man in the world. Because he was my hero.And as he’d left, he’d hugged me tight and whispered to me that he’d always come back and he’d always be watc

The Pack's Girl Time to Return
Marta was willing to follow Lorem to the ends of Ferus.It made me consider how far I’d go to be loyal to my mates.What would I do for them?How many awful things would they have to do before my image of them changed?My instant thought was that they would never do something like what Lorem had.It’s not even a comparison.I looked at Marta.“My father should’ve banished you from the pack with Lorem.” Draven murmured. “I wonder how you’d have fared then?”“I’d have been with him.” She clawed at Fury’s grip but that was like trying to get a tree to release a trunk.He’s unmoveable.“What you want to do with her?” Fury asked.“Take her with us.” Draven said. “We’ll give her to the NightHunters and let them toy with her awhile.”Marta looked intensely nervous despite all her bravado.I bit my lower lip. Pitying her a bit for her fate.***Fury, Killian and Aviari had been talking ahead of us. Our army of wolves and mages were tromping through the woods so loudly that there was no mistak
The Pack's Girl A Different Scent
“Her smell has changed.” Draven was staring at me as he announced it.I skittered into a sitting position. Reflexively drifting backward to put more space between he and I. Trying to protect myself.Which I’d suddenly had a much stronger urge to do, today.“I know.” Vanquish said. Rolling to lean up and give me a warm look over Hunter’s shoulder.I flushed. Biting my lip.How can they already know?I’m not even sure yet.“The Asara’s first pups are being carried by the Gallion Princess.” Vanquish murmured proudly. Meeting my gaze with infinite tenderness.My males all stretched to reverently place their palms over my flat belly. Rubbing it soothingly in a way that had me leaning back. Offering myself to more of their touch.I subconsciously flattened back out and ducked my forehead against Racer’s chest. Avoiding everyone’s permeating study and finding comfort in the warmth of my mate.Lyra Lani’s voice rose. “That’s why you’d not share the drink!”I nodded slowly without looking at h
The Pack's Girl Abstaining
I knew I’d hugged Lyra Lani a bit longer than I needed to but it was so nice to receive affection from a female after so long with only my mates for company. I gave her another quick squeezer before letting her go. She slid her hands down my arms and did the responding squeeze to my fingers right before she let them fall. Reassuring me that I had her support. And that she’s here. Her kindness nearly brought a tear to my eye. Hearing Killian’s voice behind me, I peered back at him. He bobbed his head in greeting and waved his hands in a motion for me to come to him. I did. Returning to hug him just as eagerly. I didn’t know how many times I’d embraced he and Aviari and BailaLae now, but I was beginning to feel like it would never feel like enough. Probably because I’m so scared of losing them again. Giving his dark, waving hair, a fond caress before turning my attention back to the girl
The Pack's Girl Home
“Perhaps they do.” Killian nodded to the three identical males stepping into the small grove. My blood coated mates. They, all three, looked exhausted but unharmed. Thank Heavens! I was incredibly relieved to see them okay. Glad that the sounds of battle had died down. We won. Seeing how shaken I appeared, Vanquish immediately whirled to see the others appearing from the camp. “What’s going on?” He backed up toward me. Casting a worried glance over his shoulder before eyeing all the mages pouring from behind trees and the edges of the camp. Looking at them all just as warily as he had the first time, he’d seen them.
The Pack's Girl Tattered
I flattened my back against the tree and held my breath. Praying that no one would hear me. That my bits of torn clothes wouldn’t guide them. And that I would still be whole by the time my mates returned from ambushing the camp. Please. I held one hand over my stomach. The other over my mouth to hush any sound escaping my throat. Boiling fear nearly paralyzing me. Making me feel choked as if I’d never get another breath of air through my throat. I felt the urge to move one of my legs, to alleviate the ache boring through me from my mates loving last night but I didn’t dare move. Stay quiet. I was reminding myself over and over in a steady chant. I’d never been so relieved when I saw the face of the dark-haired girl peek around a tree a distance from me and meet my look. I blew a relieved breath. Recognizing her immediately as my brother’s mate. Jade was her name. I recalled. Feeling my whole body rela
The Pack's Girl Hunting for NightHunters
Just then Hunter scampered up to us. “I got his line.” “Which way.” “Headed North.” “Toward the WildWood?” Vanquish asked in surprise. “He must be thinking if he can make it there, we won’t follow him in.” Racer suggested. “We can’t.” Vanquish agreed. “Not with the wolf-hunting-Roamer there.” “What’s that?” I asked. “A troll. I think.” Racer murmured. “A giant. He hunts anything with fur and ears that seems like it might be a wolf.” “Why?” “It’s said that a vicious mage cursed him to forever be trying to destroy the Moontower Mob.” I gave him a questioning look. “Really?” Vanquish groaned. “Memory loss.” I tapped my head pointedly. “There was a castle beyond the WildWood-” “It’s still there.” Hunter injected. “I’ve glimpsed its ramparts now and then.” “Truly?” Even Racer looked surprised. And he’s usually the historian amongst us. V
The Pack's Girl A New Day Dawns
The morning was chilly and there was a knock at my door very early. Hunter rolled to his feet from before me. Walking barefoot to pull open the door. Heedless of the fact that he was entirely naked. I lifted my head enough to see Killian was there. I moved to rise but Vanquish’s arm draped over me kept me from going anywhere. “It’s time.” He murmured from the doorway. “Get dressed.” “Time to fight?” “Not you.” Aviari joined Killian near the doorway, staying just from view. Unwilling to glimpse me in here with my mates. Even though my nakedness was shielded by Racer lying between us and the door. Killian glanced at him to the side of the doorway then back at me. “You’re going ahead to find the next camp for us…To track the NightHunter.” “What are you going to do?” I asked warily. “We’re going to confront the beast after us.” Killian said blandly. I could feel the rise of Aviari’s glee at

Racer’s fists dug into my hair. Pulling my face harder against him. But this time he brought me against the base of him. Pressing so far into my throat I couldn’t breathe. “Ah. Ah. Ahhh.” He too shuddered with pleasure. His head falling back, and his entire body angled toward my face in offering as his nerve endings exploded with life. I licked along his length. Coaxing the last few drops out of him until he too yelped in objection because he was so overly sensitive from his rough climax. He stumbled backward and dropped to the floor. Lying on his back as spent as his brother. But Vanquish was staring at me. His green eyes unblinking. Unwilling to allow me from his sight for even a moment. The intensity of him was nearly overwhelming. With his brothers out of the way he rolled us over. Hooking my thigh with his knee and turning me onto all fours, aligning him with me still. He re-entered me. Flexing through me. His power evide
The Pack's Girl A Mating Den
That night we scattered to the emptied huts. I had no time to even look at the others. As soon as the strange ceremony was finished and wolves began to scatter to obey their new King of Alphas, I was pulled backward into the hut we’d still been standing in the doorway of. Racer kicked the door closed and all three sets of eyes landed on me. I sighed. A bit nervous that their aggression might be more than I could take tonight after the violent beating I’d endured. “Be gentle, Lovers.” I breathed. Waving them toward me. They nodded gravely. Knowing how careful they would have to be. All of them nearly shook with expectation. The pink haze of the Mating Moon was now in full effect, and it was reflected in the hardened arousal of my mates. I bid Vanquish to me and he dropped to his knees before me. Lifting me over his bent knees to settle down on him. Hunter slid in behind me. Crossing his knees next to Vanquish’s a
