Gavin deflated. He didn’t say anything, but I saw that she’d gotten through to him. He clearly hadn’t thought about that. His single-minded determination to destroy his brother had blinded him.Power blinded anyone at the top. It was the way of things. The ones in charge never thought about how their actions would affect those at the bottom.“What’s the plan, then?” I asked Kira. “You must have one. I know that look.”“A meeting,” Kira said. “We bring this info. We meet with Jayson in private and show him that we had nothing to do with his father’s murder. Once he sees the truth, he’ll turn his attention to the Seventh Pack.”“Kira,” Kolton said, looking exasperated, “how are we gonna get him to agree to that? He’ll assume it’s a trick.”She pointed at Gavin. “You use half of your plan. You’ll deliver the message that we want to meet.”Gavin gazed at her dumbly for a few seconds, then, like a lightbulb clicking on, he smiled. “He thinks I’m dead.”“Exactly,” Kira said. “Seeing you ali

Chapter 17KiraI felt like I’d been kicked in the stomach. When Gavin sent us word that Jayson had agreed and told us the location to meet him, I’d almost called the whole thing off. Jayson wanted to meet on the mating grounds, where he’d rejected me weeks ago.Had it only been weeks? It was difficult to keep time in a normal frame of reference. I’d gone through more in those weeks than some people did their entire lifetime. I was not the same person who’d been rejected in front of her entire pack. That wasn’t hyperbole; I had completely changed since that day. Looking back on things, I’d built up all these walls and had kept almost everyone at arm’s length because I thought I was a monster. If I was completely and totally honest with myself, I’d been a bitch. Harsh, unfeeling, and driven to the point of obsession. Now, what really mattered and what didn’t were crystal-clear to me.The idea that Jayson had chosen the meeting location as a fuck you to me was probably incorrect. This p

“Let him get it out, Dad,” I said, completely unperturbed. “Maybe being childish for a few minutes will clear his head.” I glanced back at Jayson. “Can we get down to business? This stroll down memory lane has been lovely, but we have things to discuss.”Jayson’s sneer turned into a grin. “Ah, yes. I should have known you’d come crawling back to me.”I wanted to be professional, to stay stoic, but those words broke me. I laughed so hard, I almost doubled over to catch my breath.Jayson’s smile morphed into a frown. Becoming pack alpha had somehow inflated his ego even more than it had already been.“What is so fucking funny?” he demanded.Wiping tears from my cheeks, I straightened, trying to regain my composure. “That was a good joke. You know, after everything I’ve been through, I can’t believe I ever shed a tear over you rejecting me. It’s kinda surreal to think I went on that show because of you. Ugh.” I shook my head. “I spent five years forcing myself to believe you were my actu

I turned to Gavin. “Tell them their alpha doesn’t give a damn that the Seventh Pack and the Tranquility Council orchestrated their last alpha’s assassination.”“What?” one of Jayson’s men gasped. “Are you serious?”Jayson flew into a rage. “Did I fucking say you could talk?”The man glared at Jayson, as did some of the others. Maybe things in the Ninth Pack weren’t as good as they seemed on the outside.“It’s true,” Gavin said. “Jayson never investigated. All he did was point fingers like a child. Your alpha was murdered, and he didn’t—”“Enough!” Jayson snapped. “We’re done here. Let’s go.”Jayson strode away, and his men trudged along behind him. Several looked back at us, doubt in their eyes. If I had to guess, Jayson might have to watch his back in the coming days and weeks. The information we’d just dropped would spread quickly.“Good luck, Jayson,” I called sweetly.He kept walking and didn’t acknowledge my words.It wasn’t over between our packs. Regardless of how things went,

“There’s lots to see.” I opened the front door and waved her inside. “Come on in.”The house had that musty scent that developed when it had been closed up for a while, as though the home itself had begun to forget you and taken on its own scent. I started opening windows to air the place out.“I’d like you to sleep here with me,” I blurted out before I could stop myself.Kira chuckled. “Wow. You get right to the point, don’t you?”“All I mean is, I got used to you sleeping beside me in Haven. Last night was lonely.” I shrugged helplessly.Kira had spent last evening in her childhood room while I’d come home. I’d tossed and turned most of the night, wanting Kira’s warmth beside me. I did not want to spend tonight in the same way.Kira’s smile faded. “Yeah. I barely slept last night without you next to me.”She moved around, studying the few items I’d decorated the place with—a painting of a rising moon, pictures of me and Kolton when we were teenagers, photos of me with my unofficial

“Do you want to feel my mouth?” she asked, dragging the nails of her free hand down my thigh.“Yeah. I do.”She took me in her mouth, her tongue wet, slick, and hot as it glided over me. Gripping my sheets, I watched her move up and down on me. The wet, smacking sounds of my cock going in and out of her mouth were the most erotic thing I’d ever heard.She worked me slow, so achingly slow. All the way down until I grazed the back of her throat, then back again. I rocked my hips in time with her mouth. Sensing my desire, she curled her hand around me and stroked in time to the movements of her mouth, her other hand cupping and massaging my balls.“Kira,” I rasped, “you’re gonna make me come if you don’t stop that.”She pulled her mouth away and looked up at me, still stroking with her hand. “Isn’t that what you want?”My mind was so consumed with lust, I couldn’t think straight. “I do, but…”Kira winked at me. “You’re a big, strong man. I’m sure you have a couple rounds in you.”“Fuck,”

When we finally collapsed in absolute exhaustion, I tried to think how long our climax lasted. Ten minutes? An hour? I had no clue. All I knew was that my body felt like it had lightning running through it. Pulling Kira close, I wrapped her in a hug.“Can you feel that?” I said, still shivering in postcoital bliss.She nodded her head, her hair tickling my chest. “I’ve never…never felt anything like it.”As I held her, I did my best not to freak out. My senses were much more vibrant and heightened. I could hear more, smell more, sense more than ever before. At the same time, I caught glimpses and flashes of Kira’s emotions. My inner wolf mewled happily, and for the first time in my life, he and I were complete. Until this moment, I’d never known he was so hollow inside, so desperate to find the one thing he longed for.In a flash, I understood, and Kira did as well. I could feel her surprise fluttering through my head like an echo at the back of my mind.A smile spread across my face.

“No. Nope. Gotta be grown-ups,” she said, though she looked disappointed by her own words. “We have important things to do. Jayson might attack us at any time. We need to get everyone ready.”“Ugh,” I groaned. “Why do you have to be the adult? All I want is to fuck your brains out all day.” I sat up. “You know, usually newly mated wolves get a week or two to be together until their hormones and pheromones calm down.”“I know. Too bad we’re at war,” Kira said, standing to get dressed.“Fine,” I pouted. “But no promises I won’t pull your pants down and bend you over at an inopportune time.” I held my hands up in surrender. “You’ve been warned, so you can’t get mad at me.”She threw my pants at my face in response. I snatched them and watched her grab her stuff.“Don’t bother with all that,” I said. “Check my closet. I have a surprise for you.”Kira frowned at me before opening the closet door. Inside, two outfits hung side by side. Tranquility Ops gear—one fitted for me, the other for h

A knot of worry filled my stomach. They did not look pleased. There was no hiding the marks on our necks. Whatever reaction I’d been hoping for was obviously not going to happen. This would not end well. In their minds, I was the last person they’d have chosen to be their daughter’s mate.But I’d be damned if I let them rain on Kira’s parade and ruin her happiness. While Kolton and Kira continued talking, I hurried inside to discuss things with her parents. Maybe I could smooth this over before they ruined what should be the happiest day of their daughter’s life.“Morning, Mr. and Mrs. Durst. I trust you slept well,” I said as I stepped into the kitchen.Her dad strode toward me, his finger shaking as he pointed at Kira and Kolton through the window. “I suppose you’re gonna come in here with some crock of shit about asking for my blessing? I hope not since, apparently, it’s already too late.”Kira was mine, and I was hers. Her father or not, I would protect what was mine. I leaned int

It warmed my heart. I loved my parents, but Wyatt was right—they had to understand the world was changing. Things wouldn’t continue the way they had before.My whole life, I’d thought I wasn’t good enough for my pack. Not worthy of my family’s legacy. A broken shifter and a monster. Wyatt had seen beyond all that and showed me I was more. He’d always protected me, even when I didn’t want him to. I’d been a brat and a bitch to him, but his loyalty had never wavered. I was lucky to have him as my mate.Leaving Kolton by the door, I stepped into the kitchen and cleared my throat. My parents were almost cowering under Wyatt’s fierce glare. When they noticed me, they almost flinched, and I saw shame on their faces.Wyatt spun in surprise, shoulders relaxing at the sight of me. “Kira? Hey. Did you…” He trailed away, and his worry seeped into me.“Yeah, I heard. Most of it, anyway.”The shame on my parents’ faces deepened.“Mom? Dad?” I said. “I will always look out for you and the pack.
