"What the fuck, Lyra? You gave up your mate?" Alpha Luca West had slipped out of his house and left for the pack house early that morning, intent on making sure this nonsense with the Bear Moon Pack was settled the very next day. He wasn't going to let his little mate be threatened, even by the man who was supposedly his greatest ally. "I didn't feel anything for him." She said the words in an odd flat tone, without looking up at him, her eyes focused on her nails. "Bullshit Lyra. That's not how it works. You must have felt like you were splitting your soul in two. And for what, power?" They were sitting alone in his office inside the packhouse, where Lyra had apparently returned to her spacious room rather than returning home to her pack as she had been ordered while still on the plane. "It's about more than just power, Luca." Her eyes flashed with rage as she looked up at him, her canines beginning to peek over the edges of her crimson lips. "Do you know what he was? He wasn't

"I was," he said after a moment. "It's been a very busy morning, with some upsetting news that I definitely don't want to think about now that my day has gotten significantly better." Picking her up easily he respositioned her so that she was straddling him, her chest now directly in his line of sight. Her breasts strained against the thin blue cotton of her shirt as his hands wrapped around her waist, pressing her down so that she was grinding against the hardness of his cock.Goddess, he wasn't going to be able to resist her for much longer. And it didn't seem that she wanted him to. Dani bent forward grabbed the bottom edge of her shirt, lifting it up over her head, so that she was only wearing a white lace bra, that left absolutely nothing to the imagination, dropping it on the floor before crashing her lips against his, her arms wrapped around his neck. She pressed her body hard against him, the sweet intoxicating scent of her desire impossible to ignore.Her lips parted, and s

Dani had walked into the boutique, which Stella had informed her was named Blush Bella by the proprietor Janice some thirty years earlier after a trip to Paris, wearing her short shorts, a t-shirt and her same well worn sandals that were on the verge of falling apart. "Not exactly the look we expect for our future Luna." Stella said in an exceedingly prim tone, that Dani simply couldn't take seriously both because of the expression on Stella's face, and also because what Stella was wearing today looked nothing like what she'd been wearing while she was out with her mother.The beautiful young woman had on black cargo pants that were tucked into her enormous black combat boots. The shiny boots looked enormous on her slight frame. On top she wore a heather grey tank top that exposed quite a bit of her toned midriff and chest, with a comfortable light grey shrug that just covered her shoulders and obviously toned arms. Around her neck, dangling on a gold chain just below the line of h

"Alpha West?" There was a knock on the meeting room door and Luca sat back in his chair, pushing his hand roughly through his hair as he stared down at the map."Who the Hell is that?" He muttered the words to himself.One of the younger pack warriors had taken over watching Lyra's door and now Lars was back by his side. "Can you find out how long until the jet arrives back here with Alpha Vos and his contingent. I want to be there to meet them at the air strip.""They're still a few hours out." Lars replied immediately."How many are they bringing?." Luca asked, turning towards the window, and staring off into the forest again."Ten. And before you ask, yes his third in command is with the group. He's her childhood friend and Vos said he wasn't going to leave him behind. If you want Vos' help Kent is part of the package.""Ridiculous." Luca growled the words."Sir?" The door had opened and Teo had been standing frozen in the doorway, waiting for a chance to speak. As Luca's

"We need someplace close and I know the perfect place. This is where my brother usually takes me when we come here to shop." Stella was practically dragging Dani, and their giant shopping bag across the parking lot. "Come on, we've got to hurry. Who knows how close they are. And I'm starving. And I'm guessing once my brother gets here I'm not going to be eating out again for a while. Glass of water! Crust of bread!" She managed to keep a straight face as she barked the words before breaking down in laughter and rolling her eyes. "Okay, so it won't be that bad. But I'll definitely be at home with mom for at least a few days until he cools down."But you're taking me the place you two always go? Isn't that one of the first places he'll look? Dani looked around nervously as if she expected Luca to appear from every empty car they passed."Oh, he's going to find us. And soon. I'm just hoping I have a chance to tell you a bit about his history first. And to eat first. I was thinking abou

"Hi Baby, I didn't know you were coming down to Fairbanks today. Do you want to have dinner with us? We would have waited if we knew that you were coming?" Dani smiled brightly at her mate as if she hadn't run off and ditched her guard halfway through the day and then driven for hours on the back of his little sister's motorcycle to buy a coffee pot. "Andraste Hayes." He growled her name in a low voice and she narrowed her eyes at his use of her full name. "We have a lot to talk about." He was next to her now and he gripped her upper arm tightly as she rose gracefully from her seat, unwilling to make a scene."Teo." She turned her head quickly, before he pulled her outside. "Please pack up our meals. And could you order extra quesadillas and burgers for everyone please. This place is really good." Next she turned to the woman working behind the counter who was watching the scene unfold with a worried expression. "Thank you so much. We'll definitely have to stop by when the boys are

It was hard for Dani to stay mad at her mate when he had brought her to such a magical place. She lay back on the luxurious bed and stared up through the enormous dome that showed the sky and forest around her, as she waited for her mate to come in from outside. She had pulled off her boots and collapsed backwards to stare up at the still light sky, watching the small wisps of clouds overhead and wondering exactly how angry Luca was with her. She knew that he was upset. She had expected him to be. But how upset was he? And how did he deal with his emotions when he was upset?Dani had been reminded, as she tried to gauge her mate's emotions back in the car, that she didn't know Luca all that well, and that she had gone far past just teasing him. Her entire life, but especially after she came back from being away from her mother, she had had a tendency to push boundaries, sometimes simply to see what would happen.After all, she frequently reminded her wolf, whenever her wolf questi

Dani sat and stared out the window over an hour later. Luca still hadn't returned, but almost immediately after he left Lars appeared with two guards who were stationed on either side of the glass dome. Lars had come inside to make sure she was alright and to search the small space quickly, to make sure no one had gotten inside in the small span of time Luca had been gone.Dani jumped when the door opened, her face lighting up hopefully, but her disappointment was obvious when it was only Lars."They think they caught a scent and they're trying to chase him down." Lars explained, settling into one of the chairs."And you're my babysitter?" Dani attempted to say the words in a joking tone, but they fell flat."I have a feeling that this isn't the night that Luca had planned either." Lars turned and offered her a weak smile. "And I know we haven't had much time to talk since you only just arrived and it's always a bit of a whirlwind with our pack and Luca keeps me pretty busy.""Probabl
