James tossed his cell phone on the counter and looked out the kitchen window over the sink. His mother was now looking for him. Of course, she was. That was her job right now. How was he going to get everything back to where it needed to be? Nothing felt right, but his mother would make things worse by confusing the issues. He needed more time with Emily. Sex with her proved that. Even now, he wanted to experience it again. That never happened to anyone, not even Rebecca.
He needed to figure out what was going on between them in his head and with her. She needed to know what she was doing would be a mistake for everyone one. But where did he start? How did he start?
How did he tell her he’d never truly felt the need to mourn Rebecca? He’d tol
Damon couldn’t get through to Emily and it worried him to no end. Now he tried to get in contact with the alpha of her pack and still no response. This was his last attempt to contact him before he did something drastic. Dialling the last number, he possessed for that pack. He contacted the private offices of the pack. It rang and for once didn’t go to voice mail. “Hello? Janine DeMarre speaking.” Janine hoped it would be James, but it dashed her hope when a western accent came through the phone line. “Good afternoon, Ms DeMarre. My name is Damon Forsyth. I’m the Beta of the Orian’s Forest Pack. I’m looking for Beta Emily LaMont or Alpha James DeMarre. Are either available?” “Good afterno
Haden found his daughter finally with her latest lover, and he thanked the gods it wasn’t serious because the boy may be a gamma looking to be an enforcer one day. He was no alpha and not her true mate. For that reason, he took the day to pack her off back to their pack’s territory before she could further embarrass him. He worried about the next generation and their ability to function as leaders. His next problem was his obsession with helping Janine. No, the obsession wasn’t with helping; it was with her. She was his obsession, and he didn’t care that they’d started off insulting each other. He would fix this for both of their benefits. He promised himself that they would spend more time together after they found the chil
James enters the bedroom he thought of as Emily’s finding her pacing the room. He knew that look on her face she’d given him that look many times when she wanted to know what he thought he was trying to prove after he’d done something she didn’t want to deal with. “You need to come clean on exactly what you want here and tell me upfront. I don’t understand what you think this will prove or how you’re going to stop unrest or even war between the two packs. Do you have any concept of what position you’ve now put me in? I have a verbal agreement with Damon, and I’m in jeopardy of reneging on it. How dare you be this selfish?” Emily stopped in the centre of the room and waved a finger at him as she threw these words at him. 
With their bags in hand, Damon and his entourage left the landing area to find the car rental shop. But the scent of wolves from several packs caught his nose. One scent was Emily’s pack. They’d sent several people to welcome them and bring them to the Gibbous Moon territory. “Beta Damon, welcome. I’m Janine, the current Luna of the Gibbous Moon. This is Alpha Haden of the Silver Hills. From my pack, we have Eva, Jordan, and Hugh. Jordan and Hugh will help you with your bags, and Eva has kindly agreed to be your liaison and guide during your stay with us.” The older female wolf said as she smiled warmly. He sensed no nervousness in her at all. This was a wolf who was confident in her position and power. Note taken. The petit
Janine watched the others separate and head for the rooms they’d given them. With the late hour, she gave up on doing anything more this evening and headed to her own apartment. She thought she was going there by herself until her door stopped before it closed, and Haden entered. “We need to talk.” His voice was deeper and raspier than before, which triggered something in the back of her mind. Janine’s instincts went on alert. “What do we need to talk about that can’t wait until the morning, Haden?” She turned and tried to smile up at him. But she failed, and it turned in to a frown. “Come on. Let’s have a drink, relax, and talk about what happen
“Just leave. I don’t know when you changed. But you’ve changed, and it’s not in a good way. This isn’t how I want to live anymore. Picking up your laundry, sneaking your lovers out of back doors, and fixing near disasters. You say Rebecca means nothing to you. Then what have you been doing all these years? When are you going to grow up and think of someone else for a change? I have a chance at the life I’ve always wanted. A life it denied me the same day my friends’ lives exploded. Yet here you stand talking about you what you want and what you think. When was the last time you asked me what I want? Or how what you do affects me? It hurts me every time you chase some pathetic human woman in the bar. Do you think the humans in there don’t notice you go in with me, chase them, and then I’m the one that hauls you out of there at the end of the night?” Emi
Damon was dreaming of the small blonde crawling over his bed toward his naked, prone body. Her chocolate brown eyes smouldered as she looked her fill of his body. A thrill ran through his body, causing a shudder of excitement to rock him. She moved slowly between his thighs, moving her lips closer to where he needed to feel them. Her small pink tongue flicked out and sensually stroked her lush lips, leaving them full of promise with what she wanted to do with them on his body. Gods, his mind exploded as her head dipped slowly toward the juncture between his thighs. He saw her lips part as she got within inches of him and breathed in his scent. Damon woke at the most crucial part of the dream. His frustration radiated through his body. His need brought out his wolf’s instincts, and he growled into the darkened room. He was alon
“What do you mean she’s gone missing again and you have a large bill for clothing? Pay it and trace where it came from. She’s not bright enough to cover her tracks like that, and she’s never alone. Find out who’s hiding her. No, that’s your job.” Haden couldn’t spend every day and night monitoring his daughter. Not when she’s old enough to have pups of her own. His greatest is that she’ll put herself to the wrong human or create a breach, and that is why Randolph was her keeper. A knock at the door got Haden’s attention as he disconnected the call. “Come in.” He was happy that it was Evan with the documents. In the last few days, they’d pushed them aside. He wanted to look them over again before signing. Though he’d hoped to find out what was g
