Boyd POV“This way,” Laura said in a tone that was too upbeat for me to trust. She was holding the arm of her bloody Alpha mate, skipping along like she didn’t have a care in the world. He took long, steady strides, not put off by her attitude or the way she was hanging on his with her jerky movements at all.I was as tense as I could fucking be. My hands were tied in front of me with infused hemp rope, the fibers burning into my skin. Sirius was barely with me, constrained by the wolfsbane. If that wasn’t enough, I have two guards on either side of me and one behind. These three were elite guards. Ones I had trained and worked with long ago. The tension was evident in their faces, and I could feel their concern as they were tying my hands. It made all this feel even more sinister, despite Laura’s upbeat mood.“Oh, Jasper. You’re getting blood on my shirt,” Laura complained, looking down at her loose-fitted backless halter top. She was the one who was clutched onto his bloody arm, bu

Miles POV“You’re sure it was him?” Mick asked Lenny.We were all gathered, all the Broom Stixxx men, Rodger and my men as well. Lenny and the fox shifter, Kai, had just gotten back to the pack and had Rodger call this meeting, saying it was urgent.Lenny took his phone from his pocket and started to pass it around the table. When it got to Billy and Darren, Darren’s eyes widened in surprise.“That’s Mr. Smith. That’s that mother fucker for sure.”“Really?” Billy took his time studying the image on the phone. “I thought he would be older.”“Nope, that’s definitely him.” Darren exchanged a look with Kai. “Did he see you?”Kai looked nervously at Rodger, then back at Darren before shaking his head.I leaned forward and snatched the phone from my Gamma’s hand, eager to see what we were up against. Mick leaned over to stare at the phone with me. The picture was a bit blurry from zooming in, but the middle eastern man was identifiable enough among all the others around him. His clothes we

“What do you mean?” Beau looked confused. I had all eyes on me, and by Lenny’s slight nod, I could tell I was coming to the same conclusion as him.“If she was fully mated to her Alpha, she wouldn’t have been able to use you three and Boyd the way she was. She would have had no enjoyment in it.”“But she was mated.” Alexi looked at me like I was crazy. “We all saw them. They marked each other in front of the entire pack.”“A marking doesn’t form a full bond. Not when another has already been formed between wolves on a spiritual level, or if their emotions connecting a fated pair are strong enough.” I looked at Mick. “You need the spiritual bond and the connection to fully become mates. I think that’s how Chloe was able to take Rome and give him to you. Her spiritual bond with Rome was so strong, even though her emotional one with her ex was nonexistent.”“Is that why Chloe never had any problems sleeping with others?” Darren asked. “I didn’t think it was possible when she first asked

Miles sighed, dropping to sit on the bed beside me. “Okay. We’ll talk about this later.” I grimaced, not agreeing, but not refusing out loud again. Not with their mom, grandma and others listening in. Mick helped me up from the bed, and Miles stood with his arms crossed, a deep scowl on his stoic, handsome face. Their mother had already brought me clothes to change into when I woke up in a hospital gown. Leggings and a comfortable cami. As I was sliding shoes on my feet, Nonna had Taylor at the table putting lids on all the food. “Um, what are you doing with all that, Nonna?” I asked warily. “Packing it for you to go.” I sent a panicked look towards Mick and Miles, then mind linked, “Get me out of here fast.” They exchanged a look, then Mick stooped down, lifting me into his arms and taking off out the door, shoving past Rodger quickly with Miles right behind. My arm bumped into Rodger’s as we went past, and this surge of energy traveled between us. It made me gasp, and in the sp

Emily leaned over my chair again, clicking on another program on the computer. “Most of our employees' salaries are listed in these computer files, along with any requests for time off, bank information, and their evaluation reports conducted by their supervisors each year, but for the employees that have been working since the beginning of Alpha Dario’s reign, the bulk of their files are still in paper form. We didn’t switch to paperless until about fifteen years ago. You also have access to the other pack employee files through this system, like the hospital, school and warrior center. Even the restaurants and shops. Billy handles the warriors, but it will be your job to decide Christmas bonuses and stuff like that.”“Do I get a bonus?” Jamie asked from the couch in the corner of the room. “I am a warrior now, aren’t I?”He and the others, all of them from Broom StiXXX, have now joined the pack. Most of them have been working hard as new warriors, except Winnie and Cindy who are sti
