Routine operations. Everyone acted accordingly as Sam planned the drinks in the dining room, Tom planned the side dishes, Jake oversaw the turkey deliveries, and Lelandi, Carol, and Silva completed the pie making. Lelandi’s stomach grumbled as the aroma of roasted turkey and gravy filled the air, but she didn’t believe she would be able to eat because she was so tense.The table was in an alcove in the kitchen, and Carol gazed out the window. Snow continues to fall. The ski season in Silver Town will be the finest in the past five years.Lelandi was given a suspicious glance by Silva, but despite seeing it, she chose not to respond. Everyone was smiling politely, and there was no discussion of the purpose for the feast—only the weather, a hunt, and some whispered rumors about Sam and Silva. Lelandi was certain that those discussions had already taken place in private.Lelandi was greeted with a smile by Darien as he entered the kitchen and raised his arms above his head.Silva mumbled
Then dessert once more.A few brown sugar crystals gleamed on his chest as he rolled off of her. He assisted her off the table and wiped the flour off her back after she licked them up. She muttered, “We’re a mess,” her face flushed from effort.He grinned wolfishly at her. “You received the brunt of it.” She moaned as he removed the flour from her hair. “At least the cinnamon granules are gone from the hue of your hair.” She looked at him angrily. “The next time, I win.You may have cinnamon, sugar, and flour all over you. He helped her dress while grinning. “I’m in.”He touched her belly. I know Carol thinks we’re going to have triplets.“Conjecture.”“Right. She won’t, though, say what sex they are.Lelandi was happy that Carol believed she was pregnant, but she still had trouble believing Carol could actually know such a thing. She shook more flour and sugar out of her hair.He gave her a forehead kiss. “I invited your parents, brother, and uncle to the feast. Ural was dragged alo
Carol possesses a second sight. Renewed inaudible talk.In the vision, she did not see Trevor but rather another man who removed the chair from under Larissa’s feet so that she could choke herself to death.Being the pack leader’s mate, Lelandi had to maintain her strength, so Darien held onto her when she was about to pass out. She choked back her tears, wishing for them to hold off.Carol told me that her visions weren’t always clear. He did, however, wear a police uniform.Sheridan spoke the word “Trevor” in a loud voice.“At first, Carol believed that because all the evidence pointed to him. She nevertheless touched the rope that the killer had formed into a noose. Uncle Sheridan, you were that man. You killed my mate, who was an embarrassment to the pack because she was already mated and carrying another gray’s offspring, and then you went on vacation believing you’d done the ideal crime. But, you had not anticipated Larissa starting a family. A sister would arrive to get revenge
Lelandi recognized Sheridan as the stalker as soon as she saw him dressed in his wolf coat. It’s a shame the pickup did not run him off the road.The majority of people loped outside into the winter landscape in their wolf forms, where the snow’s upper layer was crisp and enormous snowflakes were drifting earthward. Lelandi reasoned that Sheridan wouldn’t slide through the snow like a moose or elk might, slowing him down, despite his greater size, since wolves had an edge over larger animals on deeply crusted snow. Although she had some optimism.Carol didn’t shapeshift since she wasn’t prepared to watch another bloody conflict with the wolf pack. She might have been scared of becoming wolf or of being attacked by another wolf again. Carol sat by his side as Lelandi’s father, who remained in his wheelchair, observed out the sunroom window. She was aware that he had lost the ability to shapeshift since the accident, that he struggled with sadness, and that he frequently wished he had p
“Oh, recall? Eventually, she was able to grab you by the neck and drag you to land, but she was still shaken from the experience. It took her three days to change back into a human.Leidolf grinned sinisterly. “Yes, I do recall. It was terrible to live with her.Lelandi hissed softly. She had no control over her relationship with her siblings’ emotions or their feelings towards her. Yet only she had experienced her siblings’ feelings to the extent that she could get so distraught over them. She snarled once more.“Fine.” Lelandi was raised off the ground by Darien. “Delight in the meal. When we do, we’ll be back. She was carried up the steps by him.How is Uncle Sheridan doing? Jacob queried. “No memorial. He’s vulnerable to the devil.Lelandi was carried by Darien up the stairs to their bedroom, where she was then placed on the bed. You require silence, my dear.She yearned for food. The elimination of the gray who had killed her sister and their union are reasons to celebrate. She a
elandi felt suffocating before she became fully conscious. The room was completely dark, but because to her wolf vision, she should have been able to see perfectly. Her wrists were once more shackled when she attempted to move them. Something crushed against her face, making it difficult for her to breathe. Something that clings and is dark. Zero oxygen falling asleep. Where had her guards gone? Within a room? Outside…As someone frantically tore at the plastic, eventually ripping it away, holes started to appear in it. She cried out for air. He kept tearing at the bag as she saw Darien’s worried face and the glaring lights of the hospital room.She tried to approach him while trying to fill her lungs. After pausing to remove the tape from her neck, he took her hand and gave it a firm squeeze. Christ, Leland. Holding her hand and looking into her eyes, he said nothing further.Jake entered the space quickly. Why the heck not He took hold of her wrist. “Her heartbeat is racing.”“Find
Damnably amusing She would bite him if his arm weren’t so far from where her fangs were.Silva hurried into the room and exclaimed, “No, oh no. “I shouldn’t have let you be by yourself for so long. Nurse Grey will arrive shortly. Doc was unconscious in his office, and she was attempting to revive him.He is fine, right? Lelandi was picked up off the ground by Darien, but one of his hands accidentally entered the back opening of the gown. Her temperature increased as a result of his heated fingers touching her bare flesh, and based on the expression he gave her, she was certain that it alarmed him just as much as it concerned her. After placing her on the bed, he moved her medical gown such that the scant material fell past her knees. “Go on, Jake.”“What?”“We’re dressing her up and getting her out of here.”I’ll be staying at your house. Silva took clothing from Lacy Garments & Accessories’ pink bag. I’ll have to help her get dressed and take a shower. So, boys, make plans for a slee
Cursing, Jake started running Towards lelandi’s cousin.Lelandi tried to exit the wheelchair as her chest hurt, her heart thumping. She yelled, “Let him alone!”Darien told her to calm down before further injuring herself as he took her writhing body from the wheelchair and placed it in the backseat of his SUV. Silva, enter and force her to remain in place.But, I was planning to stay behind and—He shouted at Lelandi, trying to hold him motionless, “Go in!” “Hell, get behind the wheel. I’ll make sure the hellion stays seated. When someone unlocked the backseat’s second passenger door and grabbed Lelandi by the arm, she scrambled to extricate herself.She screamed. She squeaked, “Tom.”She smiled toothily at the unfortunate guy, whose head was still bandaged, but it was obvious that he was hurting as he tried to calm her down. Eventually, she stopped resisting him. What did it really matter? She wasn’t moving, and since her cousin had longer legs and greater strength in his movement t
