All Chapters of Night Wolves: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Xander shook his head. "I doubt if the guilty one would flash that piece of paper around, but it may help to make them nervous." He let out a deep breath, talking about the note I had sent to the spy. "Go take your shower. I'll call someone to check on things."I nodded. "Thanks."A moment later, I stepped into the shower, letting the warm water run over my body, loosening my muscles. I hated the thought of not being able to spend any time alone for a while. Not that I needed a lot of time to myself, but it was just the principle of the thing. Having my freedom taken from me like this was crazy. I just hoped we found Rush Balista and the spy in our pack soon.When I finished my shower, I dried off, hitched a towel around my breasts, and walked through my suite and into my dressing room. Xander nodded as I passed. He was on the phone talking to someone.I dressed in jeans, a T-shirt, a long sweater, and boots, and then ran a brush through my wet hair. Then I pulled it back into a ponyta

"Come here." Elias lay back on the pillows, and I curled up on his side as he wrapped his arms around me. "Try and get some sleep."I nodded, not wanting to think about Xander leaving us. Tears came to my eyes at the thought."Hey...." Noticing I was crying, Elias rolled me over and propped himself up on his elbow, wiping a tear away from under my eye with his thumb. "Kalyssa, we don't know if he's leaving for sure or not. But everything's going to be okay."I nodded, knowing he was right. "Yeah, but the thought of losing either of you is devastating."Elias nodded. "I know." Then his lips descended upon mine in a kiss filled with promise, a kiss to last the ages. As a shifter, we could live hundreds of years, and I planned to spend every moment with him and Xander.I parted my lips for him and took him inside. He moved to my side, running his hands over my arms, my legs, and then hitched my leg on his hip and massaged my breast. "Make love to me," I breathed.His eyebrows raised, sin

KalyssaWhen Xander came back, I was waiting for him in his bedroom. When the door opened, I listened to make sure he was alone, and stepped out. I had to know, and I couldn't wait until morning to find out."So, what have you decided?" I asked Xander. His brother was leaving the next day, and I wanted to know if he was going with him. I hadn't slept much, thinking that he might leave. But then again, I didn't want him to feel obligated to stay either. Xander placed his hands on my arms, looking into my eyes. "Kalyssa, I'm not going anywhere. But if I did, you could always come with me."I shook my head, my heart breaking. "No. I couldn't leave Elias any more than I could leave you."Xander nodded. "I'm not going anywhere until after we catch Balista. I won't leave you and Elias to fight him alone."I shook my head, willing the tears behind my eyes to stay at bay. "Xander, don't stay because of that. We'll take care of Rush Balista. Don't stay just because of him. If you stay, let it

"What was that all about?" I demanded from Elias after Seven left. "I'm sorry, but when I saw you here... in your suite... with Seven—""You jumped to conclusions," I finished. I stared at him for a moment and then let out a deep breath, shaking my head. "Elias, you should know better than that. You should have trusted me—""After you stormed out of the dining hall, and then I saw Seven here, what was I supposed to think?" Elias asked, holding his arms out to the side. "You were supposed to know that he was fixing my sliding glass doors!" I yelled. "Nothing else!"Elias motioned toward the Amaretto and pineapple on the table along with the two glasses. "And what's this?""Oh, you caught me!" I yelled, my voice filled with sarcasm. "Even though wolves can't get drunk, I planned to get him drunk and take advantage of him!"He scoffed, shaking his head. "Kalyssa—""No," I cut him off. "Seven explained why you didn't want Eve to leave, that the Alpha mentality is different, and that you

"Good morning!" Bailey chirped as I walked into the Clinic, ready to start the day."Good morning," I smiled, giving her a knowing look as I put my things away and started getting ready. "So, how's Cruz?" I hadn't talked to her about him yet and I was dying to know how they got along.A broad smile spread across her lips. "He's much better. Thanks.""So, you two hit it off?"She shrugged. "So far, so good. I don't know why I never noticed it before, but he's a great guy once you get to know him."I chuckled. "Yes, he is. Did he tell you how we met?"Bailey laughed. "Yes. You hit him with your car, right?""Yes, but in my defense, he ran out in front of me. I didn't see him coming." Then I thought of something. "I never did find out what he was running from. Now that I think of it, there had to have been someone chasing him.""He said that he was running from some hunters," she replied. Then her expression suddenly turned serious. "I wonder if they were Balista's men."I shrugged. "You'
