MADDIE POVAs I get closer to the pool area, I see Rooker standing in the corner. He definitely doesn’t look like he’s having fun tonight and he is casting a wary eye on the taller two guys currently playing a round of pool. He’s got a small, unhealed cut on his lip and a neck bruise like they tried to choke him already. Infinity begins growling in my head. Even though she’s not really present much anymore, she still gets irate when we see abuse of any kind.*Brent… I think Ike is correct. Rooker looks scared as shit. Plus he’s got a split lip that’s not fully healed and a bruised neck. I’m gonna put these pups in their places a bit and link my brother. I don’t know what all is happening here, but he needs to know. I’m sending Rooker to the bathroom, get him home.* I link out to Brent. He doesn’t respond but I can smell and hear that he’s moved closer to the restrooms to intercept Rooker when I send him that way.*Nolan.* I link to my brother. It takes a minute, and I realize I probab

JOSHUA POVI slowly sip my bourbon while I sit in the upstairs VIP section of a small mom-and-pop bar called Maeve’s Tavern. Jenna insisted that this is where we needed to meet to discuss a possible contract and the rest of my professional career. I don’t understand why either. Way the fuck out here near Madison, Wisconsin. It took me over two hours to drive here.When I walked in, the old bartenders, a husband and wife by the look of them, recognized me immediately. Not surprising since I’ve been starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers for fifteen years. This last year however, I’ve had injury after injury. The most recent being rotator cuff surgery on the shoulder of my throwing arm.This is not the position I want to be in as my career is winding down. I wanted to go out with a bang! Another big win at the Super Bowl and walk into retirement with my head held high. Not pushed on a gurney into a surgical suite to fade into the forgotten oblivion of retired NFL has-beens.But

JOSH POVJenna enters the VIP lounge as I put the chardonnay bottle in an ice bucket to keep the rest cold and I hold out the full-to-the-rim glass for her. She saunters over and flops down on the couch beside me.“Sorry I’m late. I was still in negotiations.”“Negotiations? With whom? I thought no one was interested, Jenna?” I ask, trying to play off my nerves as she takes the glass of wine from me. I really hope she talked the owners of the Packers into letting me play first string again this year. We have an amazing line up planned and the college draft picks went better than expected. I’ll have new meat to work with and a real chance at another Super Bowl ring. Just one more year…“Well, you’re right. No one was interested. But…” she trails off with a small twist of a smile. Jenna licks her lips of her wine as she continues. “I talked the Packers into a year contract.”I jump up when I hear that and pull her up into my arms for a hug. “You are the best little sister and manager an

MADDIE POV This. Isn’t. Happening. It cannot be fucking happening. I thought I scored BIG TIME when I chatted up my man-meat for the night. They were both young, in shape and very charming. And they were both super into me, their arousal scents were through the roof. I could tell they thought they’d have to talk me into leaving with them. Instead, my proposition of a threesome shocked them. Their facial expressions were quite humorous, but I could tell, shocked or not, they were all for it. Or so I thought. We left Maeve’s quickly after that. They followed me to The Tower Hotel. I rent a suite on my birthday each year, under a pseudonym just in case anyone tries to track me down later. The men, whom I dubbed ‘Viking’ and ‘Geronimo’, were on me the moment we entered the suite. I was in heaven! Four hands roaming my body, helping me out of my clothing. Two mouths on me, heating my skin and bringing my arousal to the surface. Just as

MADDIE POVThe drive is peaceful and uneventful. However, when I get to River View’s packhouse, there is a whirlwind of activity. I see Adaley, my sister-in-law looking frazzled, and I hurry over to her.“Ley, what is happening?”“Oh, Mads! Thank goddess you’re here! Ike is in an uproar, demanding the little shit, Chandler, is put to death for what he’s been doing to poor Rooker. Nolan is having a hard time keeping the peace. Which, of course, makes everyone in the pack flustered because they can feel his anxiety and anger. Can you head in there to help keep him calm? I don’t like being around that much anger, it makes me nauseous.” Adaley asks me with her hand on her slightly swollen stomach. She is such a sweet Luna. She doesn’t have a single combative bone in her body. This stress isn’t good for her right now, being halfway into her most recent pregnancy.“Yes. I’ll head to his office now.” I say as I tip-toe up to kiss her cheek then I quickly turn and hustle down the hallway to my

MADDIE POVRooker looks up at Chandler and they meet eyes. Chandler’s look panicked and pained. I think he doesn’t want to lose his fated, but he is too conflicted with what his father has been trying to beat into his head. Rooker looks back to his Alpha, “May I speak to Chandler alone?” He asks. We all nod and leave the room.Chandler’s father looks livid that he’s being asked to leave his son alone in the room, but no one gives a shit what he wants right now.My sense of hearing is better than most wolves, so I eavesdrop once the door has closed, just to make sure Rooker is okay. I would feel guilty about not giving them their privacy, but those who can and choose to abuse their mate don’t get the benefit of the doubt. Or privacy. “Are you going to be willing to accept me and our bond?” Rooker quietly asks Chandler. I can hear the pain and heartbreak in his voice.“Being mated to another male is wrong.” Chandler says in defiance, but it’s lacking any real conviction.“Says who? Your

MADDIE POV I strip quickly and pull Infinity forward. I scream out in pain. Has it really been that long since I’ve shifted to cause this much pain? Damn!! Zeus whimpers at hearing my pain and rubs my side in comfort. When the shift is over, I lay on the ground for a minute to get my bearings and energy. Panting hard, like I just ran dozens of miles. When we stand and sense the others around us, Infinity pushes me back and takes full control. She rounds on Zeus and growls out loudly in warning. Zeus growls back, as do Fang and Bolt, Thomas and Niall’s wolves. Zeus lets out a whimper again and Infinity relaxes her stance as she gets a good whiff of their scents. Infinity whimpers back at Zeus and he approaches with caution. As she sniffs him again, she begins to purr at Zeus. I want to shout out in glee when I feel her happiness. I haven’t felt her happy in so long. *I can’t believe it! She is so happy, Daddy. She’s still not speaking, but she is happy

MADDIE POV “I am incredibly proud of the two of you. I have had the honor of being your father and watching you grow into the wonderful and powerful women that you are today. I know you will do great things in your life, and I pray every day that the world will see you for the special women and Alphas that you are. I hope that you are both blessed with strong mates who will help you lead your pack and the shifter world into a prosperous and peaceful legacy. Alexandra, Charlotte… are you ready to accept your titles?” “Yes,” they say in unison as they hold out their hands, palm up. “I, Alpha Tyson Eziah Evans, do hereby transfer the title of alpha of Cold Lake pack to you both, Alexandra Lee Evans, and Charlotte Helen Evans. Do you accept the responsibility of Alpha?” “I, Alexandra Lee Evans,” Alex says while daddy cuts into her left palm. “I, Charlotte Helen Evans,” Daddy cuts into her right palm. “Do hereby accept

MADISON POV I didn’t sleep for shit! Worrying about what was happening on my territory. Wondering how this Joshua Logan got on to where our pack is located. Concerned about who could know his whereabouts. It was all a swirling, jumbled mess. And to make matters worse, the moment Greta uttered his name last night, Infinity began pacing and snarling in my head. Unfortunately, she hasn’t stopped. I can’t tell if she’s pissed that some rando human got onto our territory or if it’s something else. She’s given me a huge, painful headache due to how agitated she has been all night long. I can tell she’s ready to be home so we can investigate this incident. I was ready and packed by 7am when I met Daddy for breakfast in the hotel restaurant. Informing him of the border breach and who it was, let’s just say his face gave me a chuckle. He is determined to accompany me into interrogation today, although I think I will at least start without him. He may be the o

JOSH POV Dozens upon dozens of muscular men and women are racing toward the main house, all eyes trained on me. As they get closer, I think I’ve lost my damn mind when many of them shred through their clothing and begin running on four legs. They even have fur. Oh God!! Holy fuck!!! They just turned into animals!! I’m dreaming, right? I’m having a nightmare. That must be it, because there’s no way, IN REAL LIFE, that people suddenly turn into animals! I really don’t have time to contemplate it all right in this exact moment. These people and creatures are coming for me. My fight or flight kicks into high gear. I drop the flowers and take off running for the trees that flank the house. Maybe I can use the trees as cover and hide. Hide? Really dumbass? They’re animals… THEY CAN SMELL ME!! And did I seriously just act like a dumb blonde in a horror movie? Running away from the axe murderer by going UP the stairs kind

JOSH POV I check my appearance in the hotel’s floor length mirror one last time. I just had a haircut in preparation for tonight’s date… hopeful date, anyway. I have it styled short on the sides and back with a little longer on top. Several of the guys on the team say it is a soft, modified version of a high and tight and I can’t disagree. I don’t like my hair long. Never have. It makes my helmet sit weird if it’s too long. That’s a distraction on the field that I don’t need. So, I’ve set a haircut schedule to every three weeks and that seems to be the perfect interval to keep it manageable. I dressed in all black for tonight. Not that I dislike colors on myself. Hell, I even own a pink button down and I know I rock the shit outa that shirt! But all black elevates the semi-casual clothing I picked. The black, long-sleeved button down is open at the top four buttons, showing off just a bit of my tanned chest. It is tight across my biceps and pecs, accentuating my

MADDIE POVI school my expression as I turn to look at the elderly male approaching me. He stands at exactly six feet, with white hair cropped short and a thick white moustache, emerald green eyes sparkle out from under equally thick and bushy white eyebrows. He’s wearing an expensive suit that does nothing to hide his beer gut and overall smarminess. His smile is smug, like he’s happy he finally won something.“Not going to greet your gramps?” Armaros asks me as he gets up into my personal space. He smells like a combination of black licorice and cilantro, not a pleasant pairing, I assure you. I can also smell the cheap cigar and stale whiskey on his breath. I take several steps back to try and redefine my personal bubble.“You aren’t my grandfather.” I say simply as I move to go around him and to head back to Daddy’s office.“Don’t you turn away from me, runt. You will do as you’re told for once,” he sneers as he pulls me back toward him by my elbow, claws digging in, piercing my ski

MADDIE POV“Oh, baby girl, no. I’m not doing this to trick you.” He gets up and joins me in the other chair at the front of his desk and holds my small hands in his large ones. “I legitimately want you on the council. I think you’d bring something new and fresh to the group. Intelligent and logical thinking are your forte. Those are qualities many on the council lack.“However, I know that taking a chosen mate isn’t really what you want. I know that you’d reject coming to the council if it meant you HAD to take a chosen mate by a deadline. Council seat or not, either way, I’m going to do everything within my power to help you find your fated or someone who is worthy of you to take as a chosen.“You mean the world to me Maddie! What kind of father would I be if I didn’t fight tooth and nail to keep you with us forever? It is my job to look out for you, no matter how old you are. Not because I have to, but because I choose to, I want to. I love you with my whole heart.” Daddy pulls me in

MADDIE POV Daddy picks me up around 6am on Saturday morning. We are driving to the council’s headquarters that’s located just outside of Indianapolis, Indiana. It is almost a five-hour drive from us, so leaving early is a must. It is a fairly easy and pleasant drive. It gives us plenty of time to catch up on the happenings of our businesses, the packs, and all the other stuff going on in our lives. We arrive a little before lunchtime, so we stop for food at a family-style Italian restaurant that is owned by shifters. No one blinks an eye at how much we order or when we finish it all because they know what we are. After our delicious meal and we’re full, we get back in the car and drive to the council’s property. As we approach the ornate iron gates, I begin to wish I hadn’t come. It is a foreboding property that does not scream ‘welcome’. Instead it says, ‘stay away’. I can kind of understand why; the council doesn’t want humans to just randomly pop

JOSH POV It’s been a week. A whole week since Jenna gave me the news of the coaching contract. I’ve been calling everyone I know, trying to get someone to give me another chance. One more year as a quarterback. That’s all I’m asking for. But no one is biting. It has already gotten to the point that teams, coaches, and owners aren’t taking my calls. They’re not taking Jenna’s calls either. I don’t know what else to try. Jenna keeps telling me that I need to face facts that no one wants to take that risk on me again. But I’m digging in my heels. I’m going to get a contract, dammit! I don’t care what I have to do. Well… I’m not giving anyone a blowie. I better asterisk that right now. When I haven’t been thinking about my career and staying in the NFL, my brain has floated back to my mystery biker woman. It has gotten so bad, that I’m having wet dreams about her. Seriously! I wake up while cumming in my boxers. I feel like I’m living in the
