First, thank you all so much for your well wishes and concern about me and my health. I am so lucky to have such an amazing, understanding, and positive group of readers. And thank you for the positive comments about the story. I’m so glad you’re enjoying it. I apologize for the slow updates lately. Please know I am doing my best. I know how frustrating it is to wait, and I hate that I’m doing that to you. My plan after this book is to write the next book completely before putting it out so I don’t have unavoidable pauses in updates.

“What if my mate doesn’t want to mark me?” I asked. “Then you have to reject him,” the doctor said. “The sooner, the better. The longer you wait, the worse it will be. You could lose your wolf. Even your life if you wait too long. I’ve heard of people being okay if they rejected each other right aw
ALPHA STOLL’S POV: I had been miserable since Ledger broke things off. I still went to our spot between our packs, hoping he would be there, but he never showed. Maybe I didn’t expect him to follow through when he said he was taking a step back. I didn’t want to give him up. It was torture not bein
Amethyst squeezed Ford’s knee with her hand. “How’s the search for your former members going?” I asked. Ford had told me that many of his pack members had left the pack under his father’s rule, and he wanted to get them to come back. “Great,” Ford said. “Amethyst used her magic to locate them. I v
“That’s unexpected.” I leaned back in my chair. “Goddess knows we didn’t make it easy. I’m sorry for my part in that. I should have supported you from the beginning.” “Thank you for acknowledging that.” “I know the irony of me coming to you,” Noah continued. “I’ve challenged you for the Alpha tit
“Are you going rogue?” “That’s the plan.” “You know how dangerous that is?” I sat forward and put my arms on the desk. “Noah, you don’t have to go. If you’re willing to live by the rules and be a productive member of the pack, you should stay.” “After what I’ve done, it doesn’t feel right to stay
