ALLISON KEELER "You haven't written anything," Gamma Adrian sounded paranoid as he returned from freshening up to meet the sheets still blank. His face was white from the shower and his blond hair was brushed nicely. I just couldn't look away from him. "I already told you I know nothing about Colton. That's the truth." I spoke quietly so as not to rile the handsome Gamma up. He glanced at the questionnaire and then to my face again, "The first sheet has to do with you. He growled. "Well I don't know what to answer there," I shrugged. "You fucking don't know your name, age, wolf's name color and weaknesses?" His hardened tone raised with irritation. "Oh!" I gazed blankly at the sheets again. I swiped my sweaty palms on my outfit as I picked the pen up, I went over to scribble something down but what and where? Adrian didn't have enough patience to spare, he slammed his hand on the stool, this quickened my nerves and made me incredibly scared. "I'm dyslexic." I confes

ALPHA COLTON Ron placed my coffee on my desk, he didn't look his usual self. His eyes were sullen and his face grim. I never meddled in his private affairs, anything other than work was best discussed outside the office premises if ever he cared to share and Ron was never the type to wear his emotions on his sleeves. The one reason why he fitted perfectly into my executive assistant position. "There's a response from Hornsgate. They accepted our invitation." He announced with an inscrutable tone. "With their plus ones?" I looked away from his face at the computer on my desk. "Yes, my Alpha!" He bowed slightly. "Great. I will need you to have an apartment in the mansion prepared for their stay. An apartment with room enough to contain everyone." "But the hotels are reserved exclusively for the dignitaries..." "I want Grimsby close. I need him as close as possible." I took the phone to my ear, "Grimsby's attending the festival... I'm in my office." I hung up and in no tim

ALPHA COLTON"You've changed. Big time." Shirley muttered when she got to my table at the restaurant where I had lunch out with Vinny later that noon. "Shirley, please give it a break, damn!" I released a breath. This was exhausting. Having her nag me about our baby was draining. "No!" She pulled out a seat and dropped on it. A waiter darted forward to take her order. "I'll have the chicken Caesar salad with no croutons.""Why are you here?" I asked when the waiter had disappeared to bring her order alongside Vinny and mine. "I need a little cash to get some things done." She flashed me her sensuous smile. I couldn't help but get lost in her bright stare. "How much do you need?"She delved into her purse and retrieved a nicely written list. For the first time, it was short. She dropped it before me with another radiant smile on her lips. My eyes skimmed through the list."You're buying a house?" My confused gaze left the list to her face. "You don't imagine I'll be having my

ALLISON KEELER The Pack nurse checked me and gave me some drugs and supplements. For the first time since I was declared pregnant by Glomé, I could see the bump starting to grow. A smile creased my face. "You look happy." The nurse returned my smile and handed me my card. I placed it in the little bag which held my drugs and other supplements. "Of course I am happy." I waved at the nurse and headed back to my room. The only place where I felt at peace. I stripped and stood before the mirror, the bruises and the ugly marks on my skin were fading. It was a good thing. I had a shower, got into my uniform, and headed out for lunch. "Phoebe's here," Evelyn whispered as she linked our arms. "So?" "You've forgiven her?" "I have nothing against her. We have different lives, we chose our paths."I sat on the wooden seats where a few other girls joined us as we awaited lunch. "Allison?" Payton approached our table with flushed cheeks, leaning into me she whispered, "Gamma Adrian is

ALPHA GRIMSBY EVANS "She's just a thirsty whore." I spoke softly, not daring to avert our speared gazes.Faye broke our gazes first, moving away to the balcony. Letting out a muffled exasperated breath, I tailed her to the balcony. "You don't imagine I'm attracted to such a lowly runt...""Are you?" She snapped the question in a way that was supposed to trigger the truth, her eyes searching my face for the slightest flinch to suggest I was about to lie to her. "I won't consider this an insult to my face." I feigned annoyance to scare her off from the subject. Other than the runt energy, Allison was very attractive in a sensuous way. If only she wasn't pregnant. I sighed out my frustrations. It was going to be a sin against the goddess to lay with an already pregnant wolf, especially a sin against Colton, for if the goddess spared me, the Westerners never will. "I just don't understand why you will choose to bring her here to my stalk. You know we aren't a strong Pack. What if Col
