31. She's Ours

Cain saw the rogue wolves as they reached the end of the road. The warrior had been right; it wasn’t just their scent that was wrong. They had shifted into their wolves and were running in formation. Rogues were never that organised. Once wolves left their pack for whatever reason, they usually died within a month if they didn’t find another pack to join. If they happened to come across a rogue pack, they lived longer, but they had no rules or structure. They stuck together out of necessity, but when they went on a hunt, it was each wolf for themselves. These wolves had their heads lowered, teeth barred, and their ears back as they ran down the streets, one at the front, two in the middle and three at the back. This was a fighting formation. They weren’t hunting for food scraps; they had already run past several houses and not raided anything.And not only that, they were out in broad daylight. Anyone could smell a rogue a mile away, day or night, but they preferred to hunt under th

32. The Morning After

Layla hadn’t meant to fall asleep after Jackson had left the room, but she must have because the next thing she saw was Jackson walking back into the room with blood all over his body. Or maybe she was still dreaming. Her eyelids felt too heavy, and she was still drained after their activities last night. Heat spread through her body when she remembered what Jackson had done to her. What she had done to Jackson.She covered her face and groaned. “Get a grip, Layla,” she scolded herself. Last night had been an unending wave of pleasure. She’d been desperate for Jackson—his touch, his kiss. She wasn’t a prude, but she would never have had sex outside if she’d been in her right mind. And she would never have allowed him to do any of the things he had done once he’d brought her to his room. Everything had been so desperate, and part of her felt like she would die if she didn’t have him. She had to avoid Diedre and her drug shots from now on. She was on a roller coaster with her emotio

33. What If...

“What did he mean, Alpha?” Jackson turned away from the window that overlooked another training field to face Dylan. “You know where we found Layla. She’s not a rogue, Dylan,” he sighed as he returned to his seat at the head of the conference table. There was a pile of business paperwork he had to go over before he started looking at the official reports from the incidents yesterday and earlier. “I know that. She’s human,” Dylan snorted with barely disguised disgust. His fist clenched, crumpling the paper in his hand. He had to stop doing that. He couldn’t react to every single little thing someone said about Layla. “But why would they target her?” Dylan continued. “I think they’re targeting me. The whole pack probably already thinks I’m fucking a rogue. Maybe whoever is doing this wants to undermine me, somehow.” “But why?” He pushed the paperwork away from him and leaned back in his chair. “I don’t know,” he lied. “I’ve pissed off many people in my life. Maybe this is

34. Must Be This Tall To Ride

Layla squinted as she looked in the distance. The sliding glass door to the balcony was locked, so she couldn’t go out to look over the grounds, but there was a building she could see through the trees quite a distance away. Dense trees surrounded it; she wondered what sort of person would live there when wolves seemed to roam freely.She hadn’t heard or seen one since the first night, but that didn’t mean they weren’t still there. Maybe they only came out at night.Like last night.She shivered when she remembered the cold red eyes that had disappeared in the storm. She had just imagined that. It wasn’t the first time she had imagined seeing a wolf. Her imagination had always been wild. As a child, she’d thought she’d seen wolves even behind their house regularly before the bank had repossessed it. And a few times at the trailer, too. It was often a sign that she was stressed; right now, she had plenty to be worried about. Besides, whatever had flown over her had been too big to be

35. Dangerous Territory

Jax waited until the doctor closed the door behind him in the conference room before he spoke.“Who else knows?” he growled.There was a tightness in his chest as he waited for the answer. What was that?Doctor Richards stepped back in fear and almost backed into the door. “No one. I ran the tests myself as you ordered,” he answered. “I’m sorry it took so long; I had to run the tests several times to be sure.”“I appreciate your discretion, doctor, but just spit it out. What’s the emergency?”Was it some incurable human disease? It was just like Fate to keep screwing him over. Kick him while he was already down. He couldn't catch a break lately."Alpha, she's..."Doctor Richards cleared his throat as he hesitated. His fear clogged up his nostrils and pissed him off. Why couldn't the doctor just grow some balls and speak?"With all due respect, Alpha, I don't think she's the one you should try to have a child with. I compiled a list of women who would be compatible—"Cain growled so l

36. Is It Happening Again?

She hadn’t imagined that.Just that morning, she thought about wolves and how she’d imagined seeing one during the storm. The sound she’d heard had sounded very much like a growl.She had felt it vibrate through her body.It had come from Jackson; she was sure of it. Something flashed in his eyes when he turned back to her, something cold and dark. Something evil.And there she was with her legs still wrapped around him.She pushed him away quickly and hopped down from the table.“What’s wrong?” Jackson asked.Was he serious? Who growled at people like that? It sounded so... real. So terrifying. Not human. It had raised the hair on the back of her neck and her arms, and her instincts had told her she was in danger. She never ignored her instincts.Maybe she was overthinking things because of all the weird things she’d heard and seen, but... She had to get out of this room. Put some distance between them so she could think.“Nothing,” she lied.She pulled her t-shirt lower to hide her

37. Walking On A Tightrope

Jackson balled his fists and looked to where Dylan stood with Micah and a few other warriors. They all turned to look in his direction as he stood on the patio and then immediately lowered their gazes.But he could feel their disgust, even if it was laced with a bit of fear. If he had come to sort out the mess the rogue had caused instead of fucking Layla on the conference table, this wouldn’t have been happening. He wouldn’t have threatened Dylan like that, either. He knew it was only the fact that he’d still been buried inside Layla and holding her against him that had stopped him from ripping his friend’s throat out. ‘Get back to work!’ he ordered through the pack link.While the warriors turned away to go and start their training or patrols, Dylan approached him. Cain watched his every step while still growling in his head. His wolf’s possessiveness made his blood run cold and pushed forward what he had realised from the first time he’d been between Layla’s legs. Diedre was righ

38. Stuck In Her Head

Layla had no idea how long she lay on the bed. Jackson had returned at some point and brought her some dinner before he disappeared again, but she hadn’t touched it. Was she losing her mind? The growl, the super strength those mean girls had had and the fact that she had been referred to as ‘human’ a couple of times. And the blood on Jackson’s body? She’d seen and heard all of that, hadn’t she? That hadn’t been an episode.Had it?She rolled over and punched a pillow. It hadn’t happened in a few years. She’d almost forgotten how frustrating and terrifying it was to be stuck in her head like that. Jackson had already looked at her as if he knew something wasn’t right when he’d brought her the food.Not that she cared about that. It was probably better if he thought this was one of those ‘defects’ the doctor had mentioned so he could forget about this deal and let her go. But her mind was sometimes a dark place to get lost in. It was always a downhill slope the moment she started seein

39. Putting The Human First

Jackson walked through the doors that the door attendants held open for them. Micah had stayed behind to protect the pack with his Gamma, Jon, but Dylan insisted they needed a few warriors when they met the Circle. Almost like he had no faith in him anymore.He balled his fists, something he was doing too often lately, as they walked through the lobby. The sun was just rising, so there was thankfully no one—“Mr King, welcome back.”Fuck’s sake.He ignored the voice and continued walking to the elevators. What the hell was that woman doing here so early, anyway?“I heard you were coming, but I wasn’t sure if you plan on staying for a while. We cleaned your suite again despite that very young girl you have staying as your guest.”He sensed the judgement in her tone. He had no time for this shit. Layla had still been asleep when he had gone in to see her before he’d left, but he had sensed something wrong with her all night. Cain wanted to go back and make sure she was alright, but sh

40. The Circle

“I don’t understand why the Circle is coming. We haven't dealt with them since the last king was murder—”Alpha Chase cut himself off and glanced at him.“Sorry. Since King Jackson ascended to the throne,” he continued.That wasn’t a mistake. Chase was his biggest ally, but he never failed to mention the circumstances surrounding his father’s death every time they met. Most people outside his pack didn’t know what Alpha King Richard had been like in the end because they had kept him hidden. “They’re not here to see you, so don’t worry about it,” he answered with a tight smile.Chase had never openly challenged him. Like most Alphas, his ego was the size of a small country, but he was strong enough and intelligent enough to back it up. He would be a dangerous enemy for Dylan if he didn’t deal with him the right way. “But we’re neighbours and allies. I have to worry about the things you and your pack do,” Chase said, adding—as if it was an afterthought—“Your Majesty.”His fists balled
