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
She looked aside hastily. For what my sister done, I apologize. To find that she’d…” A feeling of sympathy washed through him as her voice broke. Her bottom lip trembled. “I apologize. I wished my sister, whom I loved, had never been matched to him. She had discovered you first, and she had loved you both as you both deserved. She wouldn’t have been harmed, and she would have been happy.Lelandi’s skin was silky soft, and her hand was little like her sister’s. He took her hand and ran his thumb over her fingers. “I assume she had a legitimate reason for acting in the way she did; it wasn’t your fault. In addition, I played a role in it. His hands were on her knees as he knelt down in front of her. Silva was accurate. Larissa and I couldn’t be apart. She continuously refused my advances while providing no explanation. I assumed she was trying to be difficult, possibly out of concern that the grays wouldn’t accept her as I did. She seemed like the perfect match to me. I found she wasn’t

What were your plans for the little lady? As Darien invited his troops to the leader’s pack meeting, Sam questioned in the kitchen.Lelandi was reclining on the couch and the medicine was making her drowsy once more, but she could still hear Sam despite his quiet voice.Darien answered, “She needs to be brought up to the guest bedroom. She needs to rest so she can regain her strength.“Tom has a ton of issues to talk about. Is he in good enough condition to discuss the issues? Sam enquired.The container was filled with ice. “Yeah. He’ll be alright.“Heard Jake lose the copper-coated guy near the bank,”Lelandi exhaled with relief. Her cousin was a beta, the baby of the litter. No genuine family ties. Nevertheless, the chief of the Bruin tribe would undoubtedly force her to mate with his brother Crassus, the idiot, if he brought her back home. There wouldn’t be enough Wildhavens.Silva whispered softly to Lelandi, “I was Larissa’s friend.” The sole female companion she had. Even so, N
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
