Once past the entry corridor, Zoe, Wyatt, and I and through the dirt tunnels to get to the medical area. As we entered the room, Abel looked up weakly. His face was deathly pale, and he looked like he could fall asleep at any moment. Still, he managed a smile when he saw us.“Hey, guys,” he said.Wyatt and I went to his bedside. “How are you feeling?” I asked.“Like I’ve been hit by a truck,” he said. He pinned me with his eyes. “Kira, thank you. They told me what happened. I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you saved me. That…man.” Abel shuddered. “He’s a fucking monster. A psychopath. You have no clue how awful he is.”I actually had a pretty good idea, but I refrained from telling him that as I put my hand on his arm. “No problem. Hell, I owed you one for rescuing me from that basilisk.”“Abel, do you remember anything about what Simon did to you?” Wyatt asked.Abel flinched at hearing Simon’s name. “Not really. It’s all a big blur. I don’t even remember what happened in

I pulled away, gasping. “We’ve got a lot of training to do over the next couple of days. Are you gonna get this worked up every time?”Wyatt growled and pressed his face into my neck, licking and sucking at the skin below my ear. My eyes rolled back, and I clenched my thighs together, needing the friction as he nibbled at my sensitive skin.Putting his lips to my ear, he whispered, “Who cares? We don’t have to hide anything from the people here. Everyone knows you’re mine.”You’re mine. Words I would have scoffed at from any man a few months ago brought a smile to my lips. I was his, and he was mine. Something about that made me feel content in a way I couldn’t describe. I couldn’t even make fun of him for saying it.“If I want to call a break every ten minutes,” Wyatt went on, teeth scraping against my earlobe, “to take you back to the room and have you, then I will. Screw anyone who wants to say something about it.”My breath came in lilting gasps. “Is that what you’re gonna do? Hav

Finally, with a final thrust and a loud groan, Wyatt’s cock twitched and pulsed, and his cum filled me. He collapsed onto me a few seconds later.“Gods,” I panted. “That was amazing.”“Uh-huh,” Wyatt moaned, face buried in my breasts.The sound of his voice muffled by my tits made me laugh, and once I started, I couldn’t stop. Wyatt chuckled as well, and soon we were both on our sides, arms and legs intertwined, laughing together.Everything else could be forgotten for a little while.Chapter 10WyattZoe clenched her opponent’s forearm in her hands, then jammed her foot into the ground, pulling on it while slamming her hip into his. The man cried out as he flipped over. Zoe didn’t release the arm, but yanked up and pressed her foot down on the man’s throat.“Easy on him!” I shouted at her. “He’s done. He’s finished.”Zoe flinched, tearing herself from her bloodlust, and looked down at the male wiccan who lay beneath her. His face was scarlet from lack of oxygen as her foot pressed ha

“I’m all right,” Leif said. “It’s not that it hurts so much as it feels like…” He trailed off, his face crinkling in concentration. “Well, I guess I don’t know how to explain it. All my memories are out of joint. In the wrong order, if that makes sense. I also have this weird, overwhelming pull to go somewhere on the island. Almost like I’m being called to return somewhere I don’t want to go.”Kira and I shared a look, and she asked the question on both our minds. “Does it have something to do with Simon? The guy who did this to you?”Leif shivered at the mention of Simon’s name. “I can’t go back there. Not to him. I can’t.”The fear in his voice sent chills down my arms. He started to rock back and forth, slowly lowering himself to the floor, slipping back into his strange hypnotic state.J.D., seeing him reverting, turned to Zoe and the other healer. “Can you do more? Whatever you did to bring him around? Please?”Zoe and the other fae gave each other a helpless look before Zoe turn

The question caught me off-guard. I hadn’t given that a second’s thought. After Kira’s rant on live TV about the connections being wrong, I’d never considered what it meant for me. I’d put fated mates behind me when I ran from my own.“I haven’t thought about it much,” I admitted. “Wasn’t planning on doing anything, really.”Kira moved to an unoccupied corner of the room and took a seat, beckoning me to join her.“In hindsight,” she said, “I can’t believe I ever thought Jayson Fell could truly be my fated mate. It’s crazy to think about it now. It’s ridiculous. Now that I know the truth, I can’t stop thinking there’s someone else out there I was supposed to be looking for.”It was like she’d twisted a knife into my heart. I didn’t want to talk about this anymore. Seeing her with Jayson had been bad enough, and the thought of her being with someone else was devastating. Even more so now that we’d admitted our feelings for each other. Internally, my wolf curled into itself, pressing its

Ahead of us, Mika and Zoe ran toward the exit. Zoe had her arms up above her head as she ran, pulses of her magic bursting from her fingertips, trying to hold up the ceiling. Right behind us, J.D. shouted at someone to hurry.At the exit, a wiccan and Crew worked like mad, disarming the traps to let everyone out. Chelsey was right at Crew’s side. Kira and I huddled with the others, pushing forward with the group. I could sense the crowd wanting to bolt, to stampede away from danger, but we’d be dead in seconds if the traps weren’t disarmed.Finally, Crew stood and waved toward the cave mouth. “Run! Go, go, go!”We rushed forward, streaming out into the late afternoon jungle. When the fresh air hit my face, I released a shuddering breath. I put Leif down and turned to help whoever needed it. The noise from inside rumbled louder than ever. J.D. and two shifters ran past me, and he knelt to check on Leif.I ran back to the entrance, ignoring Kira’s call for me to stay. Fifteen feet insid

The crowd gave terrified nods and clumped together. Eli moved to the right of the group with Kira at the left. Crew took the point position, and I had the rear, effectively pinning the survivors in with the best fighters on the outside. Gavin and Mika, along with a few people who’d scouted with Crew before, could handle themselves.“Let’s go,” Crew said, and he took off at a slow jog.The going was slower than I’d have liked, with the group weighed down carrying the unconscious forms of Leif and Abel, but at least no one straggled behind or complained. The jungle roared with a cacophony of sounds. Behind us, I could hear the snapping of twigs and crunching of leaves as beasts rushed toward the destroyed Haven. There was a bit of heartache, thinking of that place crushed under all that earth. It had been a bastion of safety in a world devoid of it.If I was feeling like this, then I couldn’t imagine what Crew was going through. The place had been his baby. A society he’d built up with

“I’ll go,” I said. The next few hours would be the most dangerous. The creatures on the island tended to be most active in the five or six hours after moonrise.“Me too,” Mika said, standing and dusting his pants off.Another guy—a wiccan—volunteered as well. Crew thanked him and added, “That works. I’ll go on this watch, too. Eli, you’ll relieve us in a few hours. Go ahead and figure out who’ll be with you, then get some rest.”The four of us walked out to find the others and sent them back for food and sleep. Crew and I headed out to do the scouting, leaving Mika and the wiccan to watch the entrance. As the minutes and hours ticked by, I had a hard time not glancing up at the volcano in the distance, rising high above the dark jungle. Our one small slice of safety had been torn away. I grieved for Crew and the others who’d called Haven home.Just past midnight, I stood in a small clearing a few hundred yards from our camp and glared in the direction of the volcano again. My anger ro

Leif nodded and let out a heavy sigh, then leaned back against the stone wall. He winced and put a hand to his forehead. “I can’t remember much of what happened while I was half-feral. It’s all jumbled and mixed up. The last thing that’s really clear, other than what happened in Haven, is when I was out in the jungle on that last challenge looking for you. I was walking through a grove of trees, and then…black. Whatever hit me got me totally by surprise.”“A lot has happened since then,” I said.Leif chuckled humorlessly. “Yeah. I can see that.”“Zoe says she thinks you can be cured once we get you off the island,” I said. “A good psychic healer and some top-notch spellcasters—people fully trained in healing—and you’ll be right as rain. This will all be a bad memory.”J.D. put a hand on Leif’s knee, massaging his leg gently. “Yeah, and I’ll make sure to replace all the bad memories with good ones.”Leif glanced over at J.D. Even in the moonlight, I could see the blush creeping into hi

Mika shrugged my hand off. “I need to check on her.” He hurried off, joining Zoe, who smiled gratefully at his appearance.“I cannot believe that’s the same guy who came onto this island,” Wyatt said. “He never smiled and barely spoke. Now the grumpy fucker is a plush little wolf when it comes to Zoe, and she’s a smiley chatterbox. Like oil and water.”“No, not like that,” I countered. “They’re just different. Opposites attract. Mika had a rough life—no one on his side, lots of betrayal. Zoe is warm and kind and severely loyal. I think they suit each other.”Crew walked out of the cave, four volunteers following him. The four headed off to begin their watch, and Crew broke off and joined us.“Zoe gonna be okay?” he asked. “Someone said she was hurt.”“I think she’ll be fine,” I said. “One of the healers is looking at her.”He nodded, glancing at Zoe and Mika, then back at the cave. Most folks were huddled inside, but a few were milling about outside, being sure to stay far from the cl
