While Tom and Jake sat in the living room, Darien shook his head at Uncle Sheridan. “Ural is not being made an example of. If he has accomplices who intend to pursue Lelandi, they will do so. Then, we’ll take care of them. He’s okay where he is right now. I want to talk about who was extorting Larissa, how she passed away, and who paid the shooter to assassinate Lelandi. But first, Tom, any news on Ural?“I’m still frozen. We had to move him to the hospital, per Nurse Grey. The guard responsibility falls to Trevor while he is imprisoned. He promised to let us know when he arrived, according to Charlotte.Uncle Sheridan placed his writing pad on the coffee table while maintaining his composure. “This is what I’ve discovered thus far. On the day the shooter killed the gunman, all of the guns that were allegedly taken out into the woods were subjected to ballistics tests. Not a match. This indicates that either the test rules out one of our men, one of them had a second gun and handed us
Darien gladly pushed through another snowdrift.Even though Tom’s four-wheel drive monster truck could handle almost any road condition, he still wouldn’t let either of his brothers operate it. He reasoned that if he had an accident, it would be his fault and no one else would be held responsible.Jake said, “We’ve been driving in this mess for an hour and have hardly moved forward. How was Lelandi acting when you first arrived to speak with us?“Angry over the Ural. To ensure that we didn’t kill him, she likely made her way to the jail. He could hardly tell if they were on the road, the shoulder, or the ditch because of his limited field of vision. The trees on each side of the road were the only thing he could make out. Darien tried to squint, but it didn’t work.“Darien, hold on! Tom yelled from the backseat, “I think I saw something.“Where?”“Looks like the back of a green pickup,” the speaker said.They exited the truck after Darien halted it. The truck belongs to the Woodcroft
Willy Wilkerson alone. He makes the sound of having fluid filling his lungs. It could be pneumonia. Ural also appears to be becoming conscious again.Was Ural present? Unconscious! Lelandi grunted as she spoke. Deputy Trevor came here for that reason. Darien and his troops, be damned.Lelandi didn’t move when the doctor and Ritka passed the office.When they arrived in the examination room, Dr Oliver addressed Mrs. Wilkerson. Willy will soon be on medication and feeling better.Refiling her sister’s medical paperwork, Lelandi left the room. She was going to visit her cousin and learn what they had done to him, whether or not Trevor liked it.As the door slowly opened, Lelandi’s heart almost stopped.But Doc wasn’t there.Joe Kelly quickly in and closed the door. His coat, whiskers, and hair were all covered in snow, and his eyes had a crazy appearance. Trying to locate Larissa’s file? Lelandi was told to lean against the wall while he drew a revolver from his waist.She experienced an
On the opposite side of the mountain, Joe hauled her up. He called out to her, “Climb.”She objected.Her temple was the target of his gunshot. You can’t be saved by Darien in this situation. They wouldn’t get there in time to remove a bullet if I shot it in your gorgeous head. So go up. It is your only chance.She fought to ascend, clenching her teeth, her wet garments sticking to her like ice Saran Wrap, her hands numb from the chilly water.He said, “Go up straight.”She looked up but was unable to see the direction he was planning to lead her. They were not able to climb mountains all day. Unless… She gave him another look. He was dozing off to her right while she was doing so.“Go!”Unless a cave was located above. She resumed her ascent. Maybe the place he had taken Larissa in secret? For shooting Doc and Ritka, Lelandi planned to kill the cretin and eat her meal.Men shouted on the ridge coming from the town’s direction. She was under attack by Darien and his troops. Joe’s expr
From his brothers and thirty of his men blocked. After the initial explosion that shook the mountain, Additional stones started to fall. Darien massaged his eyes so he could see the mess he was in and choked on the dust. He was the only person to enter the tunnel because it was blocked by rocks.He yelled, hoping to hell no one had been trapped in the slide, “Everyone all right out there?”“We’re alright,” yelled Jake. You?”Fiercely irate. “Good here,”In an effort to learn where Joe Kelly and Lelandi were, he listened for any sounds. Nothing. Darien could at least still pursue them.We could move the rocks, but it will take hours, boss, Sam said from the other side of the obstruction. We used to enter in a different method, Mason and I. more easier on the knees.Show the men, Darien demanded angrily. As soon as he got his hands on that son of a bitch, he would kill him. If he had hurt Lelandi in any way…We’ll see you on the other side, but for the love of God, Darien, don’t get yo
I was so worried that the rockslide might kill you, your brothers, or some of the rest of your people.Darien pinned her against him while warming her body, stroking her arms, and kissing her on the lips and cheeks. “Everyone is OK. Everything is fine. A gash that had gone through to her eyebrow on the left side of her temple was swelled, crimson, and the blood was already drying along its seam. Darien remarked, wiping away her damaged hair, “That son of a bitch.”She remained silent, perhaps in astonishment. Despite the fact that the chilly cave was starting to wear on him, he tried to warm her by holding her close to his body. And that’s when he saw the glass in her hair. Lelandi, did Joe throw a glass at you?She appeared as though she may become ill. He uses his pistol. She stopped and fixed her gaze below. Before that, I was in an accident, I said.You damaged the SUV, right?Her eyes were blurry from recent crying as she nodded. He exhaled and gave her another strong embrace. “W
Darn it, Lelandi, I won’t let you put yourself in such risky circumstances while you’re looking for your sister’s murderer.She squeezed and released his buttocks while running her nails down his back. He let out a gruff groan and immediately gave in. “Well, OK. When you want to look into something or someone, just let me know and I’ll make sure you’re protected.She grinned secretly and grew to adore him even more.He grinned lustily as the moist tip of his erection protruded against her mound.His gaze grew more intense when she first started to rub against him, and he reached up to touch her breasts. “Darien, you may work as a masseur for hire.”He continued, his voice rough, “Just one body I’d be interested in massaging. “How much longer are you going to abuse me?”He plunged his fingers deep before she had a chance to speak, pressing his fingers between her legs, parting her folds. His damp hands caressed her sensitive skin.While his tongue danced around her nipples, coaxing the

While his eyes were so smokey with want, she wasn’t sure he was listening when he offered a short nod. However, she spoke with intention. Perhaps they discussed it when they came home, or she decided to handle the situation on her own.Her bodice was then slid down, revealing her breasts, after he pulled off the thin steel crinoline and tossed it aside. Her body began to heat up from the want to mate, and her resentment at his leader’s stubbornness vanished. She loved how his hands felt on her breasts, how he massaged and elevated them, how he knelt down over one and kissed the nipple, making it thrill and pucker. She ran her fingers through his hair and detected a hint of frosty moisture. Snow.His hand moved down her waist as he raised the long skirt once more. He had a single focus. His frown was forced away from his temple by her fingertip kiss, and he was briefly stopped.Immediately after feeling a tremor, he put his palm between her legs, spotting the opening in her crotchless
Thank you, but I’m fully recovered. Perhaps a fresh bruise though. Ritka received a warning glance from Lelandi that she would deal with her later. “Thanks for your assistance.”“I respect a woman with grit. Your bravery makes me think of my sister, who is roughly your age. She has occasionally gotten herself into situations where I have had to save her.She secretly wished her brother had stayed around and helped her family more like Chester. What did you mean when you said I was self-observing?“Darien is too involved in the events involving your sister. I’ve already been there. He requires a stranger. Someone who is less susceptible to being influenced by their family or lifelong friends.Someone similar to you?“I’ve been a private investigator for a while. I am not personally invested in the cases I’ve worked on. That’s all I have to say.What are your knowledge on this case? Lelandi believed he could provide her with some context.“Nothing. My pursuers keep watch over me day and
Angelina was haughtily leaning against the bar, and Lelandi longed to close her mouth for her. Lupus garous were cautious about what they revealed when in mixed society. And this woman was too enraged to give a damn.A blonde human female asked, her blue eyes wide, “Three gunshot wounds? She appeared uninterested in the Victorian-era festivities as she sat on a heavy-duty parka wearing jeans, snow boots, and a tight-fitting ski pullover that displayed her large breasts. She isn’t the subject of everyone’s attention, is she? Who, according to some, appeared to have been claimed by death?“Surface injuries.” The lupus garou bitch received a warning glance from Lelandi.“You ought to be dead,” Ritka and Hostene joined Angelina as she sat down with a glass of Coke she had just retrieved from the counter. I suppose Hostene had recruited another person to staff her costume rental table for the day.She’s a pain in the ass, Angelina. Silva took a full tray and set the empty one down on the
German cuisine, music, and beverages are abundant during Fest. Although we don’t promote the events, more people are coming to visit us every year as a result of word of mouth. The boys will get ready in a different room.The space was filled with shelves, and two doors opened to reveal a walk-in wardrobe where clothes were strung on rods. At one end of the closet, Silva opened a drawer in a chest. It’s time to go back to a time when the men in the household wore the pants.Shaking her head, Lelandi They believe that they still do. She took off her sweatshirt and took her bra off. She had abandoned her corset during the Victorian era and had never imagined wearing one again.Lelandi fingered the dresses before removing one made of beautiful blue satin.Silva held up two garters. Do you recall these? “No one will see what I am wearing beneath the gown.” Silva grins. Daniel “will”He probably doesn’t dress up for these events, I bet. Hey, Silva exclaimed. “He made the demand, after all.
He wrapped his finger in a curl of her hair. You have to inquire? It was like a connecting of our souls, the conclusion of a lifelong search, and the realization of a goal I’ve been working for for months. I can’t even begin to describe how that made me feel.She exhaled deeply. “I feel the same way. Only I anticipated you would be smaller.He chuckled. The genuine article feels better. “Real.”Tom said, “See you at the opening ceremony,” and slammed the front door.Darien cried out. Must leave. So, we’re leaving the party early so we can come back here. You’re certain you don’t wish to remain here till my return?“No, I’m not going to prison; you promised to get me out, and I’m going to the fair.”“Lelandi, I want to keep you secure.”“I’ll be secure and considering the celebrations following the wedding.”Lelandi was completely exposed as Darien got out of bed and turned around. “You’re gorgeous. Absolute gift from God.You’re not that horrible yourself, either. “Adonis, remember?”
Her waist was squeezed by a firm erection that was eager to smash through her virginal barrier.She maneuvered around him so that his back was to the bed, then using his shirt to hold him prisoner, she forced him onto the mattress. His eyes glittered with evil delight, and his mouth curled upward. His legs were forced apart as she stepped in between them. She was in charge this time and unfettered like in her dreams.She already desired flipping on her back and letting him take her, but she planned to build herself up slowly and punish him instead. She obviously didn’t want to be in charge. He saw her struggle as she reached down to loosen his belt while folding his arms behind his head. Despite her best efforts, she was unable to remove the belt’s hook. He finally let out a low-pitched chuckle, hurriedly undressed, and then pulled her onto him, bare skin to bare skin.Every muscle in his lean, corded body strained in admiration of his beauty. She thought of how his erection was alrea
Lelandi intended to push Darien away, but she tentatively caressed his waist instead. She wanted to pull off his shirt and caress every inch of him while he touched her, just like the man had done with her in her dream. She checked to be sure he wasn’t the dreamy figure.But between her legs, liquid heat collected, and fire filled her stomach. No Lupus Garou had ever grinned so seductively, and no Lupus Garou had ever ignited her blood the way he did.“It’s…” She intended to inform him that it wasn’t proper. He only desired to rediscover the love he had previously shared with her sister. He didn’t genuinely want her.But he put his hand over her mouth to silence her protests. Greedily, hungrily, and blatantly kissed her as if she were the last woman on world and he had been without a woman for years.Her breathing became faster. She recognized his feel, hardness, power, and the delicate way he caressed her and claimed her now that she was no longer in agony or taking medication that
“Leidolf’s the alpha of the pack? Where?” Oregon’s “Portland.”“Have you let him know I’m here?”Shaking his head, Darien. “No. I had no idea who he was in the world.“Oh.”Do you wish for me to inform him?She was unsure. He’ll want me to become a part of his pack.Backing up in the love seat, Darien. “You’re not leaving,” I said.She inhaled deeply and fiddled with the shirt hem, her fingers brushing her exposed skin. “I’ll tell you everything I have to say about my pack, so listen up. Bruin managed his pack and didn’t put up with any lions that tried to revolt. When Larissa left, I was afraid he would get even with the rest of us. Later, in a terrible vehicle accident, my mother and father passed away.“Murder.”She let out a little hmpf. “No question,”“But, your folks gave you flowers.” “Someone’s sick joke. Insisting that he would declare Larissa dead and match me to his brother, Bruin kept me under observation. The night before I was to be mated with Crassus, I received the let
DARIEN’S entire body went numb as he stared at Larissa’s letter in disbelief. He reread the note in an effort to decipher its hidden significance.He got up from his seat and left the eating area. How was he able to be so blind? Had the woman he had been with another man before? Who? He’d murder him.Darien couldn’t recall entering his office or sitting down at his desk. Jake! He yelled as he glared at the letter and clenched it.Jake walked into the office sporting a perplexed expression.“Bring Lelandi in right away.”Jake’s brows furrowed, he gave a brief nod, and then he shut the door.A minute later, Tom came in, his eyes wild. “Darien, what’s wrong? Jake claims you are prepared to murder someone. To let me in on the small conversation to let me in on the small talk to filling me in on the little talk about the“No.”“But—”“No!”Tom nodded for a short moment as his neck muscles tensed. “You’re in charge.”Lelandi was invited into the space by Jake. Her eyes suddenly darted from
