Violetta"I don't understand. You accessed your magic in human form before, when your wolf forced you to use it. Do I need to fatally wound someone to let that happen?" Evalina snarled in frustration at my recent failure.Today's assignment? Offensive magic. All I had to do was move a stick.One lousy stick.Instead, I was covered in sweat, and the stick just sat in its original place in the grass, mocking me."I wouldn't risk it. I don't think me moving this stick is going to save anyone today," I panted and sat down in the grass. This was a better workout than any cardio. Muscles I didn't even know I had ached at the strain of trying to move that damn branch.I expected the Crone to force me up, but she just went unnaturally still, and her eyes grew vacant. Worried it was Maeve, I jumped to my feet, but she held out her hand. "It's Lunessa. They've made it to the compound. She and your mate are fine."Blowing out my breath, I relaxed. I knew Ferrara was fine. I could still feel him

ViolettaOne by one, I bonded with the others. Lucy, Raven, and Carla. I was desperate not to show it, but bonding the four women in quick succession drained me. Finn and Kenzi left to shower and rest, and Jenson escorted me back to my room."When was the last time you've eaten?" he asked in a low voice."I had a box of crackers on the way here," I claimed proudly. Okay, a box was stretching the truth. I'd had maybe five or six crackers."Rest. I'm going to have food sent up to you," he ordered.I was tired, but that didn't mean I was going to shirk my duties. "As soon as Finn and Kenzi have showered, I need to talk with them," I protested."They've been pushing themselves for days. They're going to need more than a shower. They're going to rest, and we can all have dinner together."He stopped at my bedroom, and I narrowed my eyes at him. "You are not supposed to order me around.""Uh-huh. I liked it better when you were a submissive," he sighed. "Rest. Eat. There will be plenty for

ViolettaAnother night without Ferrara. I wasn't sleeping well, and as I trudged up to my room after a late night dinner in the mess hall, I considered calling Jenson and asking some more questions about the operations that were not day-to-day. Pulling out my phone, I remembered that he was planning to spend the night with Irene. So far, Maeve had not made another appearance, but I knew Irene was scared.She needed Jenson more than I did.Pocketing my phone, I turned down the hall and stopped short. There were noises coming from my bedroom.Loud noises.Squealing?Laughter. It abated, and I opened the door cautiously. Amelia, Kenzi, Cindy, Janelle, and Ava had piled onto my bed. There was a huge spread of food on the table, and music playing from a speaker somewhere."Hi," I said dumbly. "What is happening here?""Girl's night!" Janelle called out. When I stared at her, she frowned. "You've never had a girl's night, have you?""Did Jenson put this together because he was tired of me c

FerraraI didn't relish sleeping in the bed with a woman who was not my mate. With cameras up, we couldn't risk anything looking suspicious, so when we slipped into bed together, I pulled the covers up to my chin to hide the fact that I'd created a little sheet barrier between us.There was discomfort for Lunessa as well. She held herself so stiff and still in the bed. I had a feeling she'd never shared her night with another man.London would be pleased.We slept fitfully, and by the time the sun rose, I was already awake and pacing in the small room. With a yawn, she sat up. "What's wrong?""Nothing. Just worried. How did you sleep?" I sat on the edge of the bed, my back to the camera, and let the pretense in my expression drop just a little."I wandered a little in my dreams. Everything is fine," she said carefully. Did that mean she'd made contact with Evalina and Violetta and the others were doing all right? While I knew there was no one else who could have taken my place here, I

FerraraThat wasn't the only guard I saw armed with a gun. Unease filled me as I looked around. I hadn't anticipated the weapons. Most wolves preferred to fight in their beast form. "Are you expecting trouble?" I asked when the tour ended. We stood in a glass room looking down at what seemed like a gymnasium. At least thirty people were below in a circle, passing a flame along the black candles they held and chanting something in a language I'd never heard of before."The weapons? Where there is information, there is always someone who wishes to steal it," Broderick said mildly as he looked down. "It's midday. When the sun is highest in the sky, we ask for her protection.""Not the moons?""We ask for hers as well, but we are the Protectors of the Land. We must see to the earth's nourishment as well as our own. It is our hope that the sun's magic can protect it against all invaders, including that of ancient spells. We perform this every day."I lifted my eyebrows. "Does it work?""We

FerraraLunessa's fury was so real that for a moment, I thought it was fueled by magic. When she'd shimmied out of her underwear in the shower, my eyes instantly closed.She turned off her recorder and laughed awkwardly. "What did you say?""What?"A beat, and then she shouted. "Are you fucking kidding me? You are such an asshole!" She stormed out of the shower, and I quickly shucked off my boxers."Baby, wait...""Don't you baby me! You called me Cindy! Are you not over her?""It was an accident...""Accident, my ass." Still soaking wet, she pulled on a dress and glared at me. "You talk a big game about this wolf mating, but I can't feel it, can I? How do I even know that it's me? Sounds a whole helluva lot like it was her. Were you with her the night they took me?""Shit, no, of course not! I...I mean, I was, but it wasn't like that!"Her scream pierced my ears, and she picked up the lamp and threw it at my head. Then, she wrenched open the door and stormed out.I heard the poor gua

ViolettaAt the sound of the crash, I dove out of the bathroom. After last night's slumber party, I was wary of whatever Jenson had planned for tonight, but it wasn't another ruse to keep my mind occupied."Saul," I bellowed, not thinking that he wouldn't be able to hear me. "Jenson. Kenzi. Help!"Blood was fucking everywhere. Ferrara groaned as he tried to sit up, but I pushed him back on the mattress and cradled his face in my hands. His eyes were open, and he appeared alert, although I could see the pain in his eyes. Jesus, was that a burn on his side?Lunessa wasn't conscious. I put a hand to her throat and prayed. There was a pulse. Just a flutter, but it was fading fast. Gritting my teeth, I pulled hard on the pack bonds. There was a loud grunt outside the door before it flew open. Saul fell through."Damn it, Violetta, give a warning before you do that. When you pull on the pack bonds it feels..." his voice trailed away when he looked at the bed, and he immediately snapped to a

ViolettaThe house was empty except for the submissive wolves. Families with children were streaming in to take cover while alarms blared all over the territory.And there were three of Finn's sisters. "Where's Lucy?" I asked, trying to remain calm. The tremble in my voice gave me away, but if the other sisters were suspicious, they didn't lead on."Finn asked for her help. She has some experience healing. He took her to the infirmary," Raven offered."You stay here. I don't care who comes to tell you to move. If it's not me or Ferrara, you don't fucking move. Do you understand me?""Is she here?" Raven whispered. "Maeve?""No, but you do not trust anyone. Not unless it's me or Ferrara." I paused. "Not even Finn. Stay here."Slamming the door shut, I took off after Finn, but once I reached outside the house, I looked around in fear. It was unlikely they'd go to the southern border, but that left three more borders. I didn't think Maeve could hold Finn long enough to actually force the

FerraraThe son will kill the mother.We locked Finn in one of the cages below that we reserved for wolves who'd broken pack law. In most cases, they were dead before we ever got to this point, but I had no plans to kill Finn. We didn't know if Maeve could also control Finn's wolf, so this would hold him.Amelia stayed with him as a guard but also to talk him through his pain. We couldn't give him another bond until he was coherent enough to take it.The son will kill the mother.We lost fourteen wolves, and two dozen more were in the infirmary. Three rogues were locked away, in the same area as Finn, but they were like zombies. It was like they were waiting for instructions. It would take time before Saul got to them. Our own wounded came first.The son will kill the mother.The spell that had taken us back had drained Lunessa. Evalina had revived her, but she was still in a deep sleep. The bag of items were by the bed. I hadn't even had a chance to look at them."Was there a Fae the

Violetta"We are not sacrificing anyone," I snapped. I still couldn't believe what I was hearing. Evalina was related to me? "You're not...you're...how?""Katherine was my niece," she said, never taking her eyes off Ferrara. He'd gone predatorily still. "When I began Darkwyn Coven, I brought my younger sister, Dessandra, with me. She was the original Mother and already pregnant with Katherine. Our younger cousin was the original Maiden. When Katherine was ten, she desperately wanted to go out and see the world, so Dessandra began taking her out more and more. Then another witch killed her and kidnapped Katherine. I felt my sister's death, but it was two months before I could rescue my niece. The other witch was a seer, and it was the second time someone told me of my death. It was also when Katherine began to doubt her magic. The seer had told her the kind of child her womb would bring. When her wolf came along, she was more than ready to give up magic all together, and he was the per
