The wolf's destiny CHAPTER 14
He would never have dated a red who had a family if she hadn’t been his soul mate; not without the approval of her parents and the leader of her pack. He had a strong suspicion that she had not abandoned her group and lived alone as she had claimed.He inhaled deeply as he climbed inside the car and smelled the fresh leather. The car was advertised as being ideal for families, with four doors to fit the triplets. He clamped his eyes tight and held the steering wheel firmly. Despite numerous people warning him against choosing the red as his partner, he was unable to shake the vivacious and spirited woman from his system. She wouldn’t have been powerful enough to be a pack leader’s mate, but he should have known that.He saw the enormous number of cars when he parked at Silver Town Hospital. Very likely, some of Sam’s relatives show up to look at him. The twenty-four-year-old quadruplets, Uncle Sheridan’s boys, were also present and were probably watching cousin Tom. Darien burst.He l

He barked.In all honesty, Darien, I don’t know. Nevertheless, something is amiss now that her sister has arrived and riled up the entire village.The twin of his mate moaned heavily. She briefly blinked but didn’t pay attention to anything.She must remain in this location for three more days, eh, Doc? Darien enquired.“Yes, in town. She shouldn’t have to go very far. She can, however, relocate for the ensuing few days. I want to keep an eye on her tonight. Once she leaves this place, she’ll need someone to watch over her.Silva said, “You’re the boss, boss, but Sam can go without me for a few days. I’ll take care of her. Since I’m pretty much the only woman in town who liked Lelandi, perhaps I can help her sister.What if Larissa is still a target for someone? Doc enquired.Darien thought about how sleepy she was. Peter is ensuring that she has 24-hour security.Will you have Trevor conduct the interior surveillance? Silva smiled.Uncle Sheridan burst into the space with the appeara

As soon as Landani opened her eyes, brilliant white lights flooded her field of vision. The ceiling fan in her bedroom wasn’t there. She tried to get her bearings by closing her eyes and inhaling deeply. The air was thick with the smell of antiseptics. Her eyes suddenly opened. She was confined by white sheets and bars on an elevated, little bed. What the…?As her thoughts began to race out of control, she attempted to reach up and rub her temple but was unsuccessful. Not the dream partner, but leather cuffs around her wrists held her to the bed.Her sibling. Oh my Goodness, her parents were also gone. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her heart felt like a stone in her throat. She whimpered in agony as she sobbed, and the tears clouded her vision. Her body began to gradually warm up as she yanked at the restraints in an effort to stop the growing frustration.She licked her chapped lips while closing her eyes. What she wouldn’t do for a glass of pink lemonade on ice. She felt as t

Oh My God, She Was Gorgeous and exasperating. Beautifully exasperating. Silva was correct, though, in that the patient was barely awake after surgery and heavily doped up. She was only able to muster a sad chuckle at Darien’s expense.After tightening her hold on the bed’s bar, Darien let go and marched out of the room. He motioned to talk to his uncle when he saw him interrogating some other people.“Darien, what’s going on?”Check out Larissa’s bedroom. Given that she was moving in that direction when the shooter shot her, she must have been a guest at the Hastings Bed & Breakfast. Bring me the letter if she received one from Lelandi.No warrants were required because pack laws applied.“Then, gather her belongings. After she exits the hospital, she will be staying with me. But until then, I’ll accompany you nonetheless.“You’re not going to fall for one of them again, are you?” The furious condemnation in Uncle Sheridan’s voice as they left the hospital was audible.Darien humorous

With the exception of the dresser jammed up against the door obstructing it and the mess his uncle had made, they were able to remove enough of the glass to climb through the window and discover the space tidy as if the maid had just done the cleaning.Shaking his head, Darien reasoned that the intruder had come seeking for the identical piece of evidence as he was. The lace-covered canopy bed, the space underneath it, the dressers and bedside tables, the closet, and the tiny bathroom were all investigated by him and Sheridan, but they came up empty-handed. Nothing, not a toothbrush, comb, bag, garment, or anything else.Darien then noticed a tiny rise in the mattress on the right side of the bed. He approached the bed with a swagger and pulled up the coverlet. In one particular area, the mattress rode high. He discovered the grip of a revolver by shoving his hand between the mattress and box spring. His heart beat more vigorously. He took the 9mm out, examined the safety, then took t
The wolf's destiny CHAPTER 20
Before something fell to the floor, there were several curse words, and someone shouted.Lelandi opened her eyes. Holy sh*t! Lelandi laid on her side in her wolf form while shape-shifting in her delirious state, the IV pulled out and dangling over the floor, and the dreaded medical gown wedged between her front legs. If not, people would be perplexed as to why a patient would lose red fur, thus she prayed that whoever washed the linens was a lupus garous.Rushing in, Darien and Trevor first noticed the mess Ritka had created on the floor before turning to look at Lelandi, the extraordinary sleepy red wolf.Darien muttered under his breath, “Odin’s wounds, she’s a royal.”“Hell, Darien, she’ll have a whole bunch of suitors if the word gets out. She ought to be at the veterinarian, though, if she’s going to shape-shift without warning, Trevor said.Silva entered the room.Darien commanded, “In and close the door.”She quickly inside, shut the door, and grinned at Lelandi. “My, my. She’s

DARIEN hovered over Leandi while placing his other hand on her and reaching for the nurse’s call button. Despite how sharply the pain ran through every nerve ending, she wouldn’t take any more painkillers and turn into a zombie once more.When Nurse Grey entered the room, she cast a confused glance from Lelandi to Darien.Darien remarked, “She’s hurting very hard. “No.” Shaking her head, Lelandi “I can handle it,”There is no use in putting up with it. Reaching for the IV line was Nurse Grey. It might as well be cozy.“No.” Lelandi attempted to free herself from the IV as she narrowed her eyes, sent the nurse and Darien a scathing glance. I’m done, thank you.Darien and Nurse Grey exchanged brief smiles.She wanted to yank her hand out of his grasp, and she even believed she had succeeded, but he held it captive.She wasn’t sure what had changed him as he stared down at her with such compassion, a hint of uncertainty, and even a trace of want. The impulse to force her to confess about
The wolf's destiny CHAPTER 22
Lupus is extorting her.The heart of Darien almost stopped. “What, who—”She studied the blanket, her fingers twisting the thin fabric.“Yours or mine?”Larissa looked up at him, her eyes revealing confusion. “Do you think it was one of my grays or one of your \sreds?”She didn’t answer, which made him suspicious. “Why would anyone blackmail her?” Darien considered Lelandi’s nightmares, her reluctance to discuss her past with him. It fit. When he opened his mouth to question Larissa, she had shut her eyes again. “Larissa?”She didn’t respond and appeared to be sleeping. He growled under his breath, swore he would not tell anyoneTo give her any more pain medication if she needed it, and took his seat again.Two painfully long hours later, Larissa opened her eyes, and immediately Darien launched in with his questioning, determined to get the truth out of her this time. “What about the man who accosted you outside of Hastings?”“Gunman?”Being evasive on purpose? Or confused again? “No,
