AspenAfter one two-hour plane ride where I didn’t die, we stepped outside the airport onto solid ground. A group of human teenagers all wearing fake wolf ears stood mixed in with the reporters on the other side of the loading area. They had their phones out and were screaming questions. I suddenly wished I was wearing sunglasses like Trenton despite the overcast skies. My wolf’s eyes kept flashing with mine as she panicked, overwhelmed by the sights and smells and noise.“Aspen!” Someone screamed my name and I spun around, looking for the voice.A skinny human girl reached over the ropes and tugged on my sweater sleeve.“No touching.” One of the security team whose name I couldn’t remember pushed back against the crowd.“She’s just a kid.” I sidestepped him. “What’s your name?”“Ol… Ollie,” she stuttered. Her grin took up half her face and I felt my panic ease a little. Flashes from the cameras went off in bursts around me.“Move it,” Molly barked in her no-nonsense tone which I was

“Trenton, you’re on the first floor. The concierge will show you to your room. Girls, you’re up on the sixth floor.” Molly pressed the button for the elevator. “Makeup and hair starts at nine in the morning. Breakfast begins in the buffet room at six. Your preliminary interviews will be in the afternoon. Here are your keys. Room 623. You two are fine bunking together, right?”I didn’t have time to respond as Molly thrust the keycards into my hand.Stef growled as the elevator door slid shut, grabbing one of the keys from me. I was dead on my feet and too tired to care. We were past nine o’clock and I was bound to be grumpy soon.Thirty days and twenty-one hours.Plus a $15,000 paycheck.At least there was a silver lining.*When Molly said “bunking together,” I assumed she meant bunk beds and not this. It wasn’t even a normal hotel room–the kind with two queen beds and a single chair because only one occupant could sit at a time–this was a freaking apartment.Our bags were waiting for

More Alphas than I’d ever seen in one place. It should have been illegal to have this much testosterone in one room.Biceps flexed as the Alpha shifters shoveled food up from their trays. Dimpled grins and chiseled chins as far as the eye could see. A deep chested laugh came from the bearded shifter who looked like a lumberjack. The messy haired beast with brooding eyes next to him clapped another guy on the back with a deliciously muscled forearm. Chairs groaned under their weight. The tension was thick.As thick as the thighs that spread out to make space for their massive...I touched the corner of my mouth to make sure I wasn’t drooling as the room spun.Food. I needed food to think clearly.“We’re working on a merger with…”I tuned out the nearest Alpha’s voice, the one with the business suit jacket slung over his chair and hands big enough to engulf his fork as I focused on the breakfast options in the buffet line.Warmth was spreading low in my belly.Biology. That’s all this w

I bit into my second piece of sausage. Already, I was feeling calmer. I risked a glance up, seeing a few of the Alphas were still lingering at their tables. No sign of Ranger or Blue-eyes though. I cut into my French toast and forked a giant piece.“You’re Aspen, right?”I looked to the side with my cheeks stuffed full of French toast and nodded at one of the prettiest women I’d ever seen. Her curly brown hair fell in waves down her back and her voluptuous curves were artfully dressed into a fitting business skirt suit.“How fun,” the woman beside her said. Black hair with violet highlights was pinned up on top of her regal head. She had a Grecian nose and big brown eyes lined with charcoal. Her toned and muscular body melded into her skintight black pants and ankle boots.And… I’m done.I continued to chew my breakfast.I didn’t swing that way, but if I did, I would have to admit defeat. It was honestly the moment I realized that I was way out of my league. Not in the awkward girl wh

9RangerAspen Harper Nuva.I rolled her name around in my mouth, testing it out as I pulled up a basic search report on my laptop. She was twenty-three and didn’t have any social media profiles. Which was strange. Even I had a page on ShifterConnect. I didn’t use it much, but it was there.I knew of her pack and the prison. Every Alpha did. It wasn’t a place that I would have personally used–I preferred to handle issues in house without government interference–but it was there for unruly shifters if we ever needed it.What bothered me though was that I’d never heard of her before. I prided myself on knowing every potential enemy or asset from the major packs. It was one of the reasons I was able to protect McCaw Pack during our seemingly endless negotiations since I’d assumed my position.Assumed.I chuckled to myself.It wasn’t as if I’d been handed the pack like most of the daddy’s boys here would one day do once they inherited the packs they were born to. I’d fought for my pack, b

AspenI couldn’t get my phone off the charger fast enough. There were two missed calls from unknown numbers and no messages from Papa, but I wasn’t worried about that now. I needed to see this for myself and make sure I wasn’t hallucinating.Reality was worse than I imagined.Who did these people think I was?There were running polls with early voting, allowing viewers to make predictions on the twenty winning Luna contestants. My name hovered near the top next to Edith and another girl named Meghan. Fallon was a few spots down. I quickly counted about fifty Luna contestants, not proud of myself when I smiled noticing Stef’s name in the bottom ten. This was crazy. I knew viewers got to vote on their favorites, but something about the whole thing made me a little sick. Accidently, I clicked on the Alpha profiles, just looking quickly to see the fan favorites. Chad and Ranger were the top Alphas.And Trenton was number twenty.Dead last.It didn’t matter that much though. The males didn

I took the phone off speaker and pressed it to my ear. “I’ve got to go do this makeup thing.”“Fine.” Clara sighed. “Hannah needs to call her lawyer anyway. But listen, don’t piss anyone off yet. I’ll see what I can do to help you from here.”“What exactly are you going to do from jail? You know what? I don’t want to know.”“You probably don’t.” She giggled. “Keep your phone on you this time. You know how hard it is to get a call out. And don’t sleep with any more reporters.”“I didn’t s–”The line went dead.Instead of throwing the phone across the room like I wanted to, I tucked it in my back pocket.This was fine. It was all a big misunderstanding. I wasn’t worth the attention. The truth would come out eventually and the media would be disappointed. They’d move onto shinier and flashier things soon. And maybe this was a good thing. I needed the public support to pass the Luna Trials, right?Everything would work out in the end.I took a deep breath and opened the door.Stef sat per

“Honey. No.” Jesse looked ready to cry.I was close to tears too as I stared at the outfits laid out on my hotel room bed. “Seriously. What is wrong with my clothes?”“They’re not bad.” He was a terrible liar. “But if you want to make a good impression, these are not it.”“What if I don’t care about making an impression?” I was still reeling from the earlier shock of seeing my name so high in the polls.“Too late for that.” Jesse pulled out his phone and started swiping. “You’re building a fan base. We have to give the people what they want.”“Do we really have to do that?” I cringed away from the predatory look in his yellow-green eyes.“You want sponsors, right?”Huh? Both my wolf and I cocked our heads to the side. “Sponsors?”“No.” Jesse froze as his gaze darted around the room. A struggle played across his face and he seemed to come to some sort of resolution as he turned his sad smile back to me. “You poor little pup. They were going to feed you to the wolves.”“I’m not little.”

He startled, glancing up as I stood to my full height. Trenton Nuva. A pretty boy with dirt still under his claws from the desert.I was wondering when he’d show face.“Are you done?” he asked again, motioning to the treadmill.I pulled out my earbuds, stretching my arms over my head. “What?”“I asked if you were done,” he spoke through clenched teeth.“Sure, man.” I stepped to the side, smiling as I did. “Hey, aren’t you from Nuva Pack?”He nodded. “And you’re Ranger. Alpha of McCaw. Nice to meet you.”Well, the kid did his homework and had manners, I’d give him that.“You brought two Lunas for the competition, right?” I asked casually, grabbing my ankle to stretch my quad.Trenton tensed as he stepped onto the treadmill. “Yeah. They’re both good candidates, I guess. We’ll see how they do in the trials.”I could respect him for the fuck off vibes if something about his tone didn’t rub me the wrong way. “Not good enough for your wolf to pick though.”My beast started growling and I pu

“Dressing up for an interview isn’t exciting news.” I closed the bathroom door behind me, purposefully not thinking of Aspen or if she was wearing those tights and the fluffy sweater again. She was a passing fancy. A distraction from what I was really doing here. It would go away if I ignored it.“Hurry up and shower off the stink of musk,” Fallon called after me. “And then let’s go find something exciting to do since fashion bores you so much, dear brother.”12Aspen“Mic check,” the attendant spoke into the little speaker he clipped on my shirt, brushing my hair over the cord as I adjusted my seat on the round chair in the center of the trifold green walls.Cameras moved on either side, carried by wheels and positioning themselves with black lenses pointed at me. In the dim light behind them sat Molly with two other human males at a table. I knew Molly was the PR consultant, but she wore too many hats here. It was making me nervous as I thought back through our interactions so far.
