I ducked inside the room and closed the doors behind me, needing a moment of quiet to think. There were two plastic bins sitting in the corner of the shed and nothing else. No chairs. The floor was hard. Unnatural. Treated wood. There wasn’t enough air.I set down my gram’s trunk and threw open the window. My frantic gaze swept the ceiling of the box. We didn’t even have light.Stop stalling. We need a nest, my wolf barked.Sweat beaded along my skin and I fanned the bottom hem of my shirt, trying to cool off.Why did this feel so serious?Like I would die if I didn’t figure it out.It was just a nest. But I was worried that he…Ranger’s dark eyes filled my mind.“Nope.” I shook my head to clear the intrusive thoughts. Get ahold of yourself, Aspen.Please do.I took another deep breath. This was totally fine. It was only a nest. All shifter females could make one. And I’d just think of it like a test.I was going to make the best nest the world had ever seen. Not for them or any male

“This is bullshit!” Fallon was growling as she came stomping out of her shed. I caught a glimpse of her nest before the doors closed behind her. It was painted midnight black with stars and an oversized purple beanbag type chair sat against the left wall.The scent of cotton candy drifted up the hill and I looked over to Opal’s crate at the end of the row. Soft cream and light blue shagged carpets covered the walls. A jeweled chandelier hung from the ceiling.Is that a Saint Andrew’s cross?The camera crew moved in, blocking my view.“Could she be any more obvious?” Cindy growled, startling me. I hadn’t noticed her walk up. I excused myself, slipping away from the putrid smell of jealousy, and met Opal on the gravel driveway.“Your nest is gorgeous,” I gushed.“Thanks.” She bounced on the balls of her feet. “I couldn’t get the ceiling straps up in time though so I’ll have to ask for help if we end up needing them.”“Ceiling straps for… oh….” My eyes widened. I hadn’t thought this thro

“I’ll try again to get her out of here,” I said, rising to my feet.“Not in this condition.” Fallon pulled me back down. “Wait until we get more of the pack here to guard her. She’ll be okay until then.”My fists clenched at my sides, but I didn’t argue. I’d already lost control once and I had to make sure it didn’t happen again.“I’m going to make the calls. Do you need anything else before I go?” Ivan asked.I shook my head, staring out the glass doors of the balcony to the woods beyond.Once we were alone, Fallon put her hand on my shoulder. “I know I was teasing you earlier, but I think we need to consider that she might be your fated mate.”My beast settled down with a quiet sigh and I looked to my sister. “I think you might be right.”30Aspen“This is a call from Holton Penitentiary…”“For the love of the Goddess, I accept.”I held the phone like a tether to the outside world, needing a sense of normal in the craziness that had become my life. So what if my normal was a best fr

“Couldn’t say.” Trenton shrugged. “Ranger wouldn’t let anyone near it. I put in a vote for you, but I don’t think it will matter since none of the Alphas even got a chance to see what you made. He hasn’t been letting them vote for you anyway. Did you know that?”“No.” I felt tears burning behind my eyes but I refused to let them fall. So what? There was still a chance I’d continue to pass with the popular vote. I didn’t need any of these stupid Alphas to care.Especially not him.“We told you not to make enemies like that.” Trenton growled. “I can’t protect you from McCaw Pack on my own.”“I don’t need your protection,” I bit back.“Honestly, I think we need to cut ties with her,” Stef said, lowering her eyes. “It’s too dangerous for us to associate with someone who causes problems like this. She’s going to get hurt and bring us down with her.”“Are you serious?” I laughed derisively. “Weren’t you the one begging me a few days ago to throw you a bone? The one sponsor you managed to fi

I was numb as I looked around, seeing those of us who were still here. Everyone was moving slowly with their heads down, distancing themselves from each other. I caught Opal’s eye and she climbed up to me from her spot on the bleachers.“Are you okay?” she asked, looking over her shoulder at the line of females filing through the stage curtains.I swallowed down my self-pity and nodded. “I’m fine. How are you? Cindy isn’t messing with you anymore, is she?”“About that…” Opal chewed her bottom lip. “It’s probably safer for you to stay away from me.”“I don’t care.” I rose to my feet. “This isn’t right.”Her big eyes held such an old soul within them as Opal smiled at me. “It’s not about what is right. It’s about survival.”*When I got back to the hotel room, it was already empty. All of Stefanie’s stuff was gone. They didn’t give her a chance to say goodbye. It’s not like I was expecting a warm embrace from her, but the space felt too big now that I was truly alone.My wolf sniffed, s

Aspen“Hello?” I rubbed the sleep from my eyes.“You’re still in bed again.” My papa huffed through the phone. “That place is changing you. Turning you into a city slicker. I’ve never known you to be this lazy.”It was 5am.“Sorry. I must have overslept.” And this is why I always went to bed so early. “How are you?”“I’m fine. Just fine. I did have an incident with my ear the other day. But it’s still intact.”I sat up straight, sleep forgotten. “What happened to your ear?”“Uh. Well…” There was some shuffling around the kitchen as he turned on the coffee maker. “It itched and I partially shifted, but my darn claw got caught up.”“Oh. My. Goddess. Papa.” I struggled not to laugh. “You don’t have too many body parts left to lose.”“Don’t I know it.” His deep chuckle made me smile. “How are you doing? The last trial is tomorrow.”“Don’t I know it.” I sighed.“Uh oh. What is that sound for?”I pulled the blankets closer around me. “Nothing. It’s just… Papa. I don’t belong here.”“You kno

“Both.” He sighed. “I’ll be alright though. There’s never been a time I didn’t land on my feet. But you know what always makes me feel better?”I wasn’t sure I liked the way his eyes gleamed when he looked at me. “A nap?”“No. Dress up. I’m going to turn you into my masterpiece for the final event.”Yay.Not.“About that… Do we really have to do the final trial alone? I’ve never been great at being the center of attention.”“That’s only because you’ve never worn the right dress before.” A grin spread across his face.I couldn’t help but smile back. “Alright, but apparently it can’t be blue.”“Who says?” He finished the rest of his cocktail as I cringed.“Genie.”Jesse’s pupils turned into slits as his cat flashed in his eyes and his claws extended around the empty glass. “I am going to murder that bitch.”*“Um, what’s going on?”The crew standing outside my door turned the cameras toward me as I exited the elevator.“Mail call.” Molly stood back watching as a few of the security team

“Good… Good morning.” I swallowed hard. His masculine smell was messing with my senses and it was way too early for this. “Can I help you?”“You can.” Something wicked gleamed in his smile. “May I come in?”“No.” I panicked, moving to shut the door.His foot slid in the way. “Please?”I shoved against the door, but his foot was a boulder. Why did it feel like he was only asking as a courtesy? “What do you want?”Ranger ran a hand through his hair, tousling it further as he looked me over. It was then that I saw the dark circles under his eyes. The tortured expression called to something deep within me.“Are those llamas on your pajamas?”And just like that, my sympathy was gone. “If you came here to mock me, you can leave.”“I’m not here to tease you. Yet.” He licked his lips and I felt a tug in my core. “But I don’t want to stand in the hall. There are cameras out here.”I knew there were cameras everywhere! “Cameras are good. That means there are witnesses.”“Witnesses?” He cocked h

I ducked under his arm, moving to open the door. He was there in a heartbeat, blocking me.“You don’t want to be here.” There was a tightness around his mouth. It wasn’t a question.“And how do you know that?” I asked.Ranger growled. “It’s not safe for you here. I can’t explain everything right now and you have no reason to trust me yet, but I need you off the show so I can focus on the Alpha Games and then I will explain everything.”Because that didn’t sound like the world’s lamest excuse. “How about you give me more than that cryptic bullshit and maybe I’ll think about your offer?”“Are you always this frustrating?” He yanked his hand through his hair.“Sometimes, but you wouldn’t know because you don’t know me at all.” I shrugged.If I’d hoped that would shake him from the trail, it did not go as planned. His eyes lit up and I felt myself drawn into them, wanting to tease more humor out.“I plan to get to know you very intimately.”My toes dug into the carpet as my wolf purred ag

I caught Molly just as she was rushing out of the conference room with the production team by her side. The color drained from her face when she saw me.“Mr. McCaw.” She forced a smile. “I’m a little busy if you don’t mind.”“Is that so?” I leaned against the wall, blocking her way. “Heading to your lawyers I hope since they are the only ones who can save you right now.”She signaled for the team to run ahead and Molly turned to me, pressing her hands together under her chin. “I understand that you’re upset.”I smiled with my fangs extending. “What gave you that idea?”Molly let out a shaky breath. “Technically, there was no breach of the contract. Nothing happened to Aspen.”I didn’t like the way she said her name.Molly must have noticed because she quickly corrected herself, “Miss Nuva is still unharmed, correct? I think I can use this situation to our advantage. Just give me a few more days and I promise to work something out.”“What I wanted was for Aspen to stay safe.” I growled
