88. Never Alone
~ CARA ~
…Anything they do to you, they do to me. You don’t have to handle this alone, okay?
Those words were mind-boggling to me. I’d ached to hear them my whole life, but now that they were there, hanging in the air between us, it felt like they would be blown away by the slightest breeze.
Rig stared at me, waiting for a response. I didn’t know what to say. Wasn’t sure I could say anything. I kept swallowing.
I was at work, I reminded myself. This wasn’t the time. But the words were inside me and bubbling for the surface, forcing themselves out—
“I’m afraid,” I whisp

Hunted by My Alpha 89. In the Dark
~ RIG ~I crouched in my wolf-form in the bushes near the sidewalk that ran under the trees alongside the library listening as the last of the students descended the stairs down to the parking lot. Luckily none of them decided to brave the forest tonight, though they wouldn’t have seen me even if they had.I’d been hidden there since I left the library over an hour earlier. Cara had insisted. She’d desperately needed to get some things done so her boss wouldn’t be mad, and she’d insisted that if I was there she wouldn’t be able to concentrate.I didn’t know about her, but I couldn’t concentrate on anything else anyway.It had been so hard watching her fight tears… feeling the hollow ache of loneliness in her che
Hunted by My Alpha 90. Allies - Part 1
~ RIG ~I waited in more shadows, more bushes, hidden from the street under the window of her dorm room until the window finally creaked open and she leaned out, her face going from worried, to happy in a blink.“There you are. Sorry, one of the girls caught me in the hallway.”She pushed the window wide open, then stepped back so that I could leap inside.I peered through the bushes, examining the night-dark street and listening until I was certain the coast was clear. Cara had left the interior lights turned off so that I wouldn’t be seen.The minute I leaped inside the frame, then over her desk to the carpet of her room, she pushed past me to lean out and pull the window closed, checking out in the str

~ CARA ~I didn’t understand until Tessa dropped her head and rolled her shoulders forward, hunching slightly and keeping her eyes on his feet.“I’m not here to make trouble, I promise.”“Rig, what’s going on?” I breathed.He didn’t take his eyes off Tessa, but he spoke to me. “Tessa’s from an ally pack—but not mine, not a direct bloodline. She could be a spy.”“I’m not! I swear!”Rig moved so quickly my heart hammered, putting himself between me and Tessa, his arms slightly back to box me in as he stood over her.“I’m loyal, Rig! Ask Natalie! Natalie talked to me because she knows—"
Hunted by My Alpha 92. Don’t Trust – Part 1
~ CARA ~I cracked the door assuming it was only one of the girls from the hall wanting to borrow something, but instead I found Meg standing in the hallway, biting her lip, her eyes pinched.“Meg, what’s wrong?” It was instinct to pull the door wider, and the moment I did she rushed inside, looking over her shoulder like she was afraid someone was following her, then nudged me deeper into the room while she quickly closed the door and locked it, then turned back to face me.She looked scared.“Meg, what—”“I’ve been researching,” she whispered, like she was afraid someone would overhear us.I frowned. “About the D

~ CARA ~I tried to look casual. “Oh?” I asked hesitantly.Was she afraid I was going to start shape-shifting when the moon came up or something? Because Rig had already told me all that moon stuff was bullshit. I had to swallow back a bubble of hysterical laughter.“What?”Meg shook her hands suddenly, then a shiver rocked through her. “I can’t be sure,” she hedged, not looking me in the eye. “But I think… I think you need to be careful about Rig.”I froze.“Some of the stuff these people are saying… it fits, Cara. It fits for Rig, and Charlie, and Mack, and Jack and this whole pack thing they have g
Hunted by My Alpha 94. Don’t Trust – Part 3
~ RIG ~Shit. Shit shit shit. Shit.Cara was staring at me like I’d grown a second head—but I could feel her anger rising too.Shit. She didn’t understand.We both took a second to breath and calm down, but my head was racing.I didn’t want to kill Meg. Of course not. It wasn’t even the first thing I’d thought. But I couldn’t deny it was more than possible. She hadn’t just come to believe the wolves were real, she’d connected them with me. With us. That wasn’t something we could just ignore.“Car—”&l
Hunted by My Alpha 95. Too Afraid
~ RIG ~It had been such a tense night—a tense week—I couldn’t let her go. I was supposed to return to the packhouse so there was no risk of anyone questioning where I slept, or who I was with. But if anyone had followed me, they’d seen me leave the library hours earlier, and they’d seen Cara leave alone too. I’d come here as Ralf.It was risky—if a wolf really wanted to find me and knew I’d gone to the library, they could follow my wolf-scent.I wavered back and forth, but decided to stay, at least until she slept. Looking at Cara’s eyes, bloodshot with weariness, but shining and pleading with me, I didn’t even talk to her about it.We both needed rest, her most of all.

~ RIG ~The guys were all still up when I got home. I’d chugged a beer at the bar that made me feel sick, then walked home, making certain I got the attention of a few people before I got there.Natalie had made coffee. I was sipping a cup since it didn’t look like I’d be sleeping anytime soon.When I sat down they all gathered and now I sat on the couch, staring into my cup, resisting the urge to walk out and go back to Cara.“How is she?” Charlie asked.I shrugged. “Asleep. I hope.”“So?” Mack asked.“So, what?”
