A slight vibration against her thigh alerted Brooklyn of a message and she fished her phone from the fabric of her cocktail dress.
‘Don’t forget about the Arroyos. They told me they will meet you by the bar. They both have red shirts.’ Vincent messaged.
Brooklyn quickly texted back a response before she squared her shoulders
Red started receding from his sight as Landon focused on his mate. Brooklyn’s blue eyes were wide with terror as she looked at him. Her usually immaculate blonde hair was now messy and looked disheveled. Her black cocktail dress was no longer smooth as the wrinkles rested against her long, curvy legs and slimmed waist. The sight of her instantly helped him regain control of his wolf. His relief was short-l
Brooklyn slipped her key in the door and walked in, leaving the door open for him. Landon immediately was hit with his mate’s intoxicating scent—pears and laundry detergent. He took a deep breath, taking in as much of it as he could.He heard a light scoff and turned his attention to Brooklyn, who was leaning against the kitchen counter. “Why do you always smell like that?” Landon couldn’t help but smile at how ridiculous he must have looked.
Brooklyn scoffed and folded her arms, trying to keep out from under Hunter’s spell. He had so much control over her, especially when he was this close. And Brooklyn hated it. “Hunter...” Hunter’s face lowered close to hers. She heard him take a deep breath and let it out slowly.
Landon watched in satisfaction as his mate dozed off in his arms. It took a lot of coaxing, but she finally allowed him to hold her in his arms. Brooklyn slumped her weight against him and closed her beautiful blue eyes. After almost an hour of talking, Brooklyn finally fell asleep. It was a good thing, too, seeing as though it was incredibly late and she was attacked in the club earlier today. Brooklyn patiently explained her involvement with Vincent and although he was strongly against
Brooklyn jumped out of her skin when she saw a shadow sleeping on the couch.She quickly flicked on the light to her office, illuminating the shadow passed out on the small sofa in front of her desk. “Lacy? What are you doing here?”
He lied to her. She gave him another shot and he had still been lying to her the whole time. The sharp sting of betrayal was followed by a gut-wrenching feeling of despair. What else was he lying about? “Brooke!” Lacy hollered right as Brooklyn unlocked her car.
Soft plush lips finally connected with his again. He could feel the hesitation in Brooklyn’s movements, as if she was testing him. Landon was shocked at first from the velvety feel of her lips moving over his. Unlike the other times he’d kissed her, Brooklyn was gentle, almost pleading with her kiss. He felt the confusion, the desire, and the hesitation in her kiss, almost as if she was pleading with him not to break her.
“Landon, slow down. I can’t see anything,” Brooklyn begged, her hand grasping the door handle and the console in tight grips. Landon pulled her tense fingers from the middle console and threaded his fingers through hers. “Relax, I can see. I have this under control.” Landon turned the car, heading down another road stretched out along the rainy path. More large drops pelted the windshield, obscuring the view of the road in front of him.

Landon watched carefully as his mother stood from the couch, her hands clasped in front of her and a hesitant smile on her lips. “Hey, Landon.” He could hardly believe she was standing in his living room. Shortly after Landon’s mate had “died” ten years ago, his mother left.
Landon growled at the vibration on his nightstand before turning around and pressing ignore on his phone again. He wrapped his arm back around his mate and pressed a single kiss to the back of her neck, loving the feel of her in his arms. “Landon,” Brooklyn muttered in a sleepy voice. Landon placed
Landon felt the wind flow through his matted fur and the crisp mountain air sail around his body as his paws thundered into the ground. Anger fueled him to run faster, to catch his prey. In one swift movement, L
Water consistently slapped against Brooklyn’s feet before pulling the sand she was standing on back into the deep ocean. The salt water was soothing while mixed with the crashing water, making it easy to get lost in its serenity.Brooklyn allowed the serene atmosphere to soothe her. She couldn’t remember much about anything right now and wasn’t even sure where she was, but she found herself succumbing to the calmness of the ocean in front of her.
Landon felt panic grip him as Brooklyn became less responsive. He watched as the bullet slowly started draining her life. Blood bubbled up on her lips as her eyelids started fluttering and Landon felt helpless as he watched, terrified of losing her to another gun. “No, she always ruins everything! She needs to pay for the damage she caused to my family!” Landon finally pulled his
A warm feeling curled her toes at the deep rumble that came from Landon’s chest after her confession. She knew she meant the words, as unbelievable as anyone may find them, even after the short time she had known him. Landon gripped her cheeks between his large palms and brought her head closer, placing a long kiss against her forehead. “Brooklyn, I’ve loved you for ten years.” Broo
Brooklyn could hear Landon’s loud protests as she was suddenly airborne. It didn’t take more than a short moment for her body to splash into the frigid water. Brooklyn instantly gulped in a large breath and closed her eyes as she made contact with the water. Her hands and back stung from the harsh impact of the water. Salt immediately stung her eyes as she cracked them open, but she fought against the sting to take in something that could help her.
“It’s good to see you back, Hunter. How is your brother?” Landon could hardly focus from the unsure feeling rooted in him. He hadn’t heard from Brooklyn since he left. The first place he went to when he came back was her apartment, but he found it empty. Not knowing where else to go, he rushed to the warehouse. He hoped to find some sort of clue or intel of where she could be. He felt he
