Time Stands Still

             Returns to her room to find Sarah Ann putting away clothing in her closet. She’s taken away the bag she’s packed. Sapphire can’t believe they expect her to wear clothing like this. She’s used to wearing hand-me-down or discarded clothing. But these still have the price tag on them, and they’ve never been worn. These are clothes Ivory would wear. Shows new toiletries in the bathroom and she’s got multiple pairs of shoes. Even winter boots.             Sapphire finally returned to her room to find Sarah and a pile of clothing on a chair. “What’s going on here? Where did all this come from?”             “Colette returned. Poor dear got stopped by one of the annoying police officers. Which made her late. Don’t worry,

Time to Leave

             Sapphire pretended to go to bed just so that Sarah Ann would leave. But it took far longer than she expected for the house to grow silent. There were so many people wandering about suddenly, with the new pack members staying within the walls of the packhouse.             This confused her even more. Everyone treated the packhouse as if it were their own and not the private residence of the Alpha family. Only a handful of people should dare to enter it. They’d allowed her to use the basement door because she was family.             Not here. Sapphire could hear a pup crying most of the evening, but all Magnus did was push someone to finish preparing a place the pup could sleep in peace. He also searched for a missing stuffed wolf the pup lost somewhere in a vehicle.

Follow the Lead

             Magnus followed her scent. It wasn’t hard to find. He was curious about what she was doing and why. He understood that her previous pack had badly used her. Sapphire might even believe that all packs were like that. He’d hoped she would stay around to see that they weren’t lying to her. That she was truly safe. Did she fear her uncle and his pack that much?             Sarah Ann believed she didn’t say half of what was in her head because she feared it was being used against her. Was this part of it? She wouldn’t stay because she couldn’t believe she could trust anyone.             He needed her as much as she needed him. They’d kissed a lot, and he thought it meant something to them. Perhaps she went for a run to clear her head? The da

Daddy Knows

             Ivory helped bring Cliff into the old healer’s cabin. It was dark, smelling like old people and dying people. She hated it here, but Cliff needed a healer right now. That monster who beat him made a mess of him. There’d been so much blood that she feared Cliff would die. He’d not awakened since they left the Black Hole. Ivory didn’t know what else to do. This was supposed to be her mate and that other guy walked all over him like he was an unskilled pup. What was she going to tell Daddy? How was she going to get him to agree now that Cliff should take his place as Alpha of the pack?             Sapphire again messed everything up for her again. This time, Ivory couldn’t express herself with Sapphire because she’d left. Just up and left, not even a bye or sorry. No remorse. When Ivory got her hands on her, she

The Price of Being Alpha

             Magnus stood there bare in the moonlight; signs of the recent fight still covered his now human form. Sapphire was glad she wasn’t in her human form because she would not have found the words to respond. No man or shifter should look like that. She waffled her head and shifted her gaze from him. In her discomfort, she took a few more steps back from him. It was a show of meekness, respect, and self-preservation. What was he doing here? Did he follow her all the way? Why? He should have gone to sleep hours ago.             “Sapphire, who was that? I need to know, and I need to know now. Who did I just chase off my land? Who invaded my territory? Was he a member of your old pack?” He stopped approaching when he realized Sapphire was backing away from him. “Hey, hey, stop that. I’m not mad at you. I’m unhappy ab

Return to the Packhouse

             Sapphire ran off a distance with her dress in her mouth and hid. She shifted and dressed, thinking about everything Magnus said to her. What did he mean by the rules she’d learned in her uncle’s pack differed from the rules in his? Her uncle was proud that he ran a traditional pack, and we enjoyed the privilege of that. Were there diverse ways to run a pack? Is that why their family ran off all the other packs?             It was a relief to get away from the staring eyes of the enforcers. She disliked being the centre of attention. Nothing ever good came of it. Now she debated whether she should return or wait for the enforcers to leave.             “Sapphire. All you needed to do was put your dress on. Come back here now, please.” Magnus sounded tired.

Dawn Comes Too Soon

             Hayden walked down the hall to leave a note for Magnus. Eric needed him to visit the library and the town’s archive at the town hall. He’d already found some confusing pieces of information about the sale of the land. Eric needed the verification of the true boundary of their territory. His documents bore no less than five different references to different boundary placements. He needed to know which one, if any, were the current boundaries.             What Hayden didn’t expect was to find Magnus curled up on a rug outside of his mate’s apartment door. He stopped dead in his tracks blinked a couple of times. Magnus had a rather large bandage on his side, and his clothes lay in a pile beside him. Well, Hayden figured at least he didn’t sleepwalk from his apartment here. He leaned down and ‘booped the snoot&rs

Hayden’s Librarian

             Hayden left Magnus to work out exactly what he needed to do to keep his mate safe. He couldn’t comprehend how the girl didn’t understand she was safe with them. Maybe she’d experienced such a sheltered life with all its abusive horrors, and she didn’t understand right from wrong? He didn’t know. Hayden found his own issues on the front burner right now. She was there, unlocking the library doors. His work took precedence over her. She was safe as long as she didn’t know about wolves and how close they were to her. That didn’t stop him from wanting to spend time with her and trying to ease her into his world. Gods, why did they choose a human for him? He needed a human mate right now, like a snowman needed a sun lamp.             With that amusing but morbid thought in his head, Hayden jogged up the ramp

The State of Ivory

             Ivory now found herself trapped in her room with a guard at her door. All because Daddy didn’t like what happened. She hated how he was obsessed with Sapphire and her betrayal. Sapphire and all the secrets she might blab about to whoever would listen to her.If Daddy wasn’t thinking of her, then he was thinking of the upstart pack leader and what he could do with what Sapphire could tell him about their pack and him.Her Daddy didn’t care about Cliff at all. Ivory couldn’t visit the healer’s cabin anymore. So Cliff was alone, not with the old healer. She didn’t know what her father would do to Cliff when he got around to dealing with him.All Ivory knew was her perfectly chosen mate was now a pipe dream. She didn’t want to mate with who her father chose for her. Daddy warned her he would do so as soon as he dealt with the betrayal of Sapphire, and s

Failed Departure

             Sapphire again found herself in the dark, suffocating space of the basement, with something moving around her. Hunting her, she couldn’t find the way out of the basement. The stairs weren’t where they should be. She couldn’t see anything to orient herself with, and the creature was always close behind her. She didn’t know who or what was making the noises or following her. But she didn’t want them catching her because she knew it meant she’d never get out of the basement alive.             With tears rolling down her cheeks, she sat bolt right up in bed, throwing off the covers as a terror filled scream wrenched from her throat. Breathing heavily, she only got a moment of peace before the door to the room she was in nearly ripped from its hinges and Magnus was there, looking around, wild-eyed. “What wro
