Author's Note: If you read an early version of Wolfbane (Book 1), you will notice that the names of the packs in Quebec have now changed. Here are the changes:> Pack Bois Foncé is now the Bois Sombre Pack> Pack Lune Taïga is now the Lune Nordique PackI apologize for any confusion! *** ALEXANDER Once my sister returned, we finally held a small funeral for my father, burning his body on a pyre, after having stored it in the pack hospital morgue while she was away. In attendance were only our closest family members and the beta family. I couldn’t recall the last time I’d seen my sister cry, but I caught her hiding her face as she wept. Between you and me, I believed my father would have preferred her as his heir rather than me. But even if my father had agreed to go against tradition and hand his title over to a female for the first time in the pack’s history, I was still older, and so the title rightfully remained mine. However, my father and sister always had a distinct connectio
JASMINE When I went downstairs the morning of my twenty-first birthday, both of my parents had big smiles on their faces. I sat down to eat breakfast before getting ready for the day. “Happy birthday, Jazzy. Big one for you today.” My dad grinned as he sat across from me. I noticed he was holding my mom’s hand under the table, something I didn’t often see my parents do. “We’re looking forward to celebrating with you and Alpha Blake at dinner tonight.” My mom gave me an uncharacteristically large smile, looking much happier than usual. They then turned to each other and stared into each other’s eyes, as if they were having a silent conversation. Something seemed to be off. My parents weren’t acting like themselves. After breakfast, I spent time doing my hair and makeup and then threw on a nice top with jeans. At ten, the doorbell rang, and I went to answer it. My dad followed and stayed behind me as I opened the door. “Nice to see you, Drew.” Blake nodded at my dad. “See you at di
BLAKE As soon as I reached the pack gate, I pulled over to where a silver Land Rover was parked outside the entrance. I stepped out of my car and Alpha Alexander quickly did the same. I walked over to him, quite annoyed with the interruption to my day. “Adalwolf, to what do I owe the pleasure?” I asked him. “Wulfric,” he replied, nodding. “I’m not going to lie. This is not great timing. It’s my fiancée’s birthday, and I just had to drive back twenty miles because you can’t come back later.” “Well, hopefully it won’t take long then. I’ve come to collect my mate.” “Your mate is in my pack?” I asked. “So rumor has it. I stopped by the Autumn Moon Pack, and they have not welcomed any rogues recently. However, I’ve been informed by the staff on duty at the entrance that yours has.” Strike two against Derek. His subordinates should know not to give out information. He was definitely not on my favorite warriors list at the moment. “Thanks for letting me know that my warriors need some
TALIA As “payment” for letting me stay at the packhouse, I agreed to help Lucy with her baby. And, to be completely honest, Lucy’s baby was a very strong form of birth control. Libby made me never want to spread my legs again. Bring on the cotton panties and grandma bras! Libby was teething, and so she was spending most of her day crying, with big fat tears rolling down her lobster-red cheeks. Lucy was at work today, so I was stuck trying to soothe her, trying to figure out how to get her to stop. I'd tried stuffed animals, rattles, pacifiers, tickles, rocking. Nothing worked. I began shedding my own tears out of frustration, and, let's be honest, grief. The tightness in my chest that had become a new normal for me refused to loosen. I swallowed against the constriction in my throat. I missed my mom. She was always so loving to me and always knew the right thing to say or do. I bet she would’ve known what to do with Libby. She had always held me so gently, so lovingly when I was dow
ALEXANDER “Well, there’s your answer,” Blake said to me. “I’m not leaving until my mate comes with me,” I responded. Goddess, she was amazing—no, perfect! I’d never met such a beautiful woman in my life—so tall, lean, and leggy, curves in all the right places, and the face of an angel. I gazed as she walked away, her perfect, tight ass teasing me in those leggings. I only had seconds to really appreciate her the last time I saw her. But now that I was seeing her in the daylight, I had more time to really take all of her in, I was really able to grasp what was at stake. She was my perfect match, and I couldn’t fathom the idea of going back home without her. “We had a deal.” Blake glared at me. “Wulfric, please, she’s my mate. You had a mate before too, right? You must know what it’s like.” I tried to reason with him. I was no longer above begging. He sighed. “She doesn’t want to see you.” “Let me stay with you. That way you can make sure I don’t do anything you don’t approve of. I
JASMINE Blake and I were seated in his car, heading to dinner at the casino after spending the perfect day together, well, except for the fact that I had stripped myself in front of everyone stationed at the pack entrance gate . . . “I see you blushing. I can tell you’re thinking about it.” Blake smirked as he held my hand and glanced over at me. “I’m not thinking about anything,” I replied, wrinkling my nose. “I know it’s bothering you. You’re a warrior now. As much as I want to keep your hot body to myself, it’s an occupational hazard, having to shift back and forth all the time.” I groaned. “I loved how you jumped in to defend me today. I had it handled of course, but damn, it’s so hot when you fight.” Blake had a huge smile on his face. “I miss going to training with you.” I groaned again, reminded of how difficult the transition to warrior had been for me. Blake’s face took on a serious demeanor and he asked, “Was Alyssa one of the mean girls?” I sighed. “She’s always bee
JASMINE “You invited my mom’s side of the family?” I raised my eyebrows at him. I hadn’t seen my mom’s side of the family in years and wasn’t expecting them to show up suddenly at my birthday. “It’s about time we meet, don’t you think? Our marriage is making an alpha alliance, which is a big deal. We’re no longer aligned just by politics, but by blood.” Before our conversation went any further, my grandmother grabbed my hand. “Very beautiful ring, Jazzy,” she said, pulling me in for a hug. I hugged her back. “Thank you. Blake did a great job.” I put my hand out in front of me, displaying the generously sized sapphire that sparkled as the light hit it. I couldn’t help but smile as I looked up at Blake, silently thanking him again, for both the ring and for how much he’d been there for me since I’d met him. “Congratulations, Alpha.” My grandfather shook Blake’s hand. “You’ve made a great choice.” “Congrats, Alpha B!” My dad shook Blake’s hand next, then gave him a friendly pat on t
TALIA I awoke feeling the most relaxed I had in years. The most amazing sensation was fluttering up and down my skin, almost like sparks that both aroused and calmed me simultaneously, compelling me to practically moan from the pleasure floating through my body. And the scent—oh my, something smelled so delightful. I inhaled more deeply, allowing the fragrance to fill my lungs. As I became more conscious, I realized I was not alone in my bed. No, there was a warm body, and we were wrapped in each other, with his morning wood pressing against my abdomen. What the fuck? I quickly pushed him from me, causing him to roll off the bed and fall to the floor with a loud thump. He groaned and shot up, staring at me from where he was seated on the floor. “What are you doing in my bed?” I shrieked. He looked around frantically, confusion on his face. I could sense he was panicked. Then realization played across his face, and he said, “This is my bedroom. You’re in my bed!” “What!” I looked
