101. Girls Night In

~ JESSE ~ “…my mother always told me every male can only be led by two things—his stomach, and his prick. So there’s little point trying to engage his heart before you’ve satisfied the other two.” I spluttered, choking on the mouthful of popcorn and leaning forward in my seat because I was afraid I might actually inhale it. Around me, gales of giggles and snorts from the five women—females—I had gathered and eventually brought back to my room because I didn’t know anywhere else we could just sit around without worrying about other people. Wolves. Without worrying about other wolves, I reminded myself. Brenna, the oldest of us, who I gathered was nearing fifty, just grinned and popped a berry into her mouth while the rest of us snickered. Wylde, the servant I’d been speaking to in the visitors wing before Cazz found us, was laughing the hardest. She was a year younger than me and clearly enjoying being included in this circle of female wolves. I was learning about all of them as

102. Imparting Power

~ JESSE ~ “That’s…. that’s interesting that you bring that up,” I said carefully. Tynker’s eyes cut to me sharply. Wylde’s brows rose. “Oh?” “Yes, I mean… I had heard about the Selection coming up and I wondered which of you were going in it, or already had mates, or… whatever…” I trailed off because Wylde’s eyes went wide at the same time Tynker choked on her apple. I knew Brenna and Alys were already mated, but I wasn’t sure about the other three. Reeca stared at me like she’d never seen me before, and Brenna and Alys exchanged wary glances. “What?” I asked them all, looking back and forth between them. “None of us will be in the Selection,” Brenna said briskly. “We either already have mates, or aren’t high enough ranking to do so.” Oh. I frowned. “But… I thought it was the males who were ranked for this?” “It is. Alphas and Betas, and a few heirs, probably. But understand that there are many, many wolves. They’ll be drawn from every nearby pack for this, as well. Only the

103. Highest Quality

~ JESSE ~ Alys smiled at me and clasped her hands together at her chest, but it was Brenna who looked truly concerned. “Sire—sorry, Jesse—I don’t think you understand. When a high ranking female puts another forward in this way, the younger carries her reputation. If you were to select poorly—” “I know a good female when I meet one,” I said firmly. “Maya has been telling me to trust my instincts, and to start showing my leadership and initiative. Besides, you all came to me commended by Maya, which is the highest regard, right?” They all nodded, though half their mouths were open like they were stunned. I frowned. “I don’t get it, what’s the big deal?” “It’s just… someone like yourself… the mate to the King… the Queen. The Queen would usually present one of the highest ranking young females in the packs. Select someone of the highest quality. In terms of its attraction to the packs, your presentation would be second only to the King’s.” “Okay, so am I wrong in thinking that if I

104. Cast Your Eye

 ~ CASIMIR ~ I shouldn’t have come for her myself. I knew that. Ghere had almost swallowed his own tongue when I said I’d do it. But the truth was, it had been… uncomfortable keeping my space from her after that delicious time in the visitor’s wing. I had needed to move, so I had said I would come for her myself. But I hadn’t wanted to reach for her, to warn her that I was coming, because I had wanted to see what state she was truly in. And no matter how she might needle me, it was a relief to see her not shrinking after I left. So why was it making my neck itch that she’d been… just fine? I had been braced for her shivering and pleading. To find her eating and talking with others was a welcome step forward from our previous separations. Yet, I couldn’t shake that irritation, like a gnat buz

105. The Mission

~ CASIMIR ~ Jesse looked up at me, her face tight but smooth, like she was stifling laughter. My advisors rumbled behind us and Jesse’s smile faded when she looked over her shoulder at them, but I was too busy discussing this in the link with them. ‘A game would explain why they are noisy at times,’ Rake sent carefully. I nodded. We’d been confused by that—why sneak and hide, only to cheer and scream every few hours so that the entire wood heard you? ‘But it could be a ruse? She said they don’t usually do it in this area—and we know that’s true,’ Ghere offered. ‘It also explains why they’re all so young.

106. Make Sense of It

 ~ JESSE ~ It was stupid. Stupid to be so scared. Cazz could tear out Ryan’s throat before my brother could blink, I was certain of it. But, seeing his face… My heart was thumping and my fingers had started to tremble. It was so dumb! If Ryan was here, even if he was looking for me, it wasn’t like he was coming to kill me, or anything. For fuck’s sake, he sold me to the wolves. He didn’t give two shits about me. So why did my body feel like he was creeping up behind me, holding a gun to my head? Because coming here was supposed to be the escape. I kept flipping through the photographs spread out ov

107. Wrestle with That

 ~ JESSE ~ As our eyes held, the bond came alive—heat, fear, anger, and something frantic under it all that I couldn’t quite define. I instinctively took a step towards Cazz, but his head jerked back and he tensed, so I froze again. Then the door to the chamber opened and Ghere trotted in, ushering a huge wolf-man behind him. My first impression of this creature was that he reminded me of a professional wrestler—so I found myself swallowing back a nervous giggle and trying to keep my face straight. I’d never seen this guy before, but as Ghere melted into the background, the man strode forward. He was a complete beefcake—dark hair, hea

108. Get to the Bottom

 ~ JESSE ~ The tension in the room ratcheted up another notch. “Yes, I do,” I seethed. “So, did you buy all of us, or just me?” Khush didn’t even blink. “We take whatever approach is most likely to be successful with the least consequence. In your case, it was clear that the males in your family were open to… negotiation. They saw it as something like an arranged marriage,” he said with a shrug. “That’s not marriage, that’s trafficking!” I hissed. ‘Don’t let him see your emotion. It will only weaken you in his eyes.’

109. Be Gentle

 ~ CASIMIR ~ It was the first time I’d drawn on the power in full since I’d claimed her and it almost washed me away. My body thrummed with it. A tsunami of strength and compulsion and sheer might. I sucked in a breath and had to work to keep myself from dropping to my knees in submission to myself. Feet planted on the stone floor for a moment I ignored Khush and all the others, just let it hum through my veins as I wrestled it under control. I was panting, I realized, my skin throbbing as the power coursed through me like electricity in my veins. Dear god,

110. The Threat

 ~ CASIMIR ~ Mind still open to Rake and Jesse so they’d hear every word, I stepped forward to put myself right in front of Khush. The male was larger than me by at least fifty pounds. If we’d been men, I would have needed to use skill rather than brute strength to defeat him. But we were not men. And he did not stand a chance. Snapping a thread of compulsion at him like a whiplash, I smiled as Khush’s eyes glazed, then he blinked and focused on me again. “Tell me the things you’re holding back—the things you think I wouldn’t approve of, or that protect someone else’s interests,” I said casually. I kept the others in the room ignorant to the conversation, their ears sto
