"This is what they wear on patrol. Blue with the soft body armor over it. Or under it depending on where you are." Dani nodded. The officers were level with the back of the truck now and she had very little doubt that they knew exactly who was in the car. She felt her canines lengthened and pushed her wolf down as she took slow, deep breaths. There would be no shifting in front of humans today. "Excuse me, Sir?" The older of the two men had reached Waylon's window and Waylon smiled at him in his most friendly manor, as if it would somehow make a difference. Dani heard a sound and her attention was drawn away from what the man was saying. There was the sound of gravel popping under tires as another car pulled off the highway. This one was an SUV. Waylon had rolled her window down too when he had stopped the truck. Taking a deep breath she could smell the brakes of the truck, and the sharp scent of the evergreens in the forest. "Waylon." She whispered his name, in a voice so low sh

Dani felt teeth sinking in just above her right shoulder and snarled in pain. She kicked out with her back legs and slammed her weight backwards towards her attacker, attempting to throw him off balance. She was at a disadvantage because as a She-Wolf she was quite a bit smaller than every male in this fight. But she had one thing going for her. She was nearly certain that the three men who had arrived were sent by Alpha Harding and if that was the case then they couldn't harm her. Well, at least not too badly. If there was one thing that Dani was certain of, it was that Alpha Harding wanted her back in his hands alive and conscious so that he could begin his sadistic torture all over again. And it's always a little easier to fight someone when you can kill them, while they are trying not to hurt you too badly. Dani turned her head and nearly managed to sink her teeth into the large wolf's chest but just as she was about to make contact, he surged back onto his feet and shook her har

Dani mentally patted herself on the back for not letting a single tear spill over as she said the last word. The older wolf let out a low whistle and shook his head. "You don't think the two of you can work it out?" He asked after a few moments of silence. Dani frowned and shook her head. "I only ask because he's going to a whole lot of trouble for a guy who's going to go along with what Alpha Harding wants and who plans on rejecting you. If he was going to do that he could just say the words and it would be finished and over with." Laying back flat against the seat, Dani closed her eyes. "I can't do it. I can't go back. I can't have him fight a war for me. I can't raise a family alongside Lyra Harding. I can't-" her voice trailed off. "But if Lyra weren't having his kids?" Waylon asked in a quiet voice. She was quiet for so long that the two men looked at each other and wondered if she had fallen asleep. "I don't see the point in thinking about things that won't happen. This is w

"Since your memories seem to be far clearer than my own, why don't you jog my memory. I have no idea what I'm supposed to be remembering.""We had a picnic that year to celebrate the opening of the week. My mom had spent all week planning it. Our house was tense. I didn't know that Dani was my little sister then. I wouldn't know for a long time yet. But her mom was having a really hard time back then and went on a bender. She dumped her on our front door with a little pink suitcase. I don't remember exactly how old she was, but five or six I think? That's got to be around right. I think she was missing her bottom two teeth.""Anyways, my mom told my dad to take her to one of the old ladies in town to watch her and he told that she could go fuck herself. He hadn't really spent any time with Dani and I guess he was curious what she was like. Fuck, she was just like him, except not evil. Stubborn and willful and clearly Alpha-born. I think he was proud of her after spending an hour wat

Teo was pacing back and forth across his bedroom. He'd been excused for the day by Lars, told to go home and sleep for six hours before he was expected back to work again. They'd all been working around the clock since the attack, snatching bits of sleep in rooms in the packhouse when they could afford to take them. And Teo knew that a six hour break was a luxury. But despite the fact that his body was nearly overcome with exhaustion, he couldn't sleep. He lay back on the twin bed in the undecorated room that he'd picked for his break and stared up at the smooth white ceiling. He was missing something. It reminded him of the time when he'd been wrestling with one of the bigger boys when he was still pretty small and he had dislocated his shoulder and his father had run across the exercise yard to pop it back into place. There was something that was just slightly askew in his mind and if he could only shift the idea, feel it move into place, everything would make sense and he could

When he returned he'd claimed his position as Beta. He'd stuck by Luca's side. But he hadn't been the same. There'd been some talk in the pack of his new, nearly silent personality, with occasional outbursts of rage. Most of the older wolves said it was because he'd grown up. When things were good with the pack, Lars was somber and serious. He didn't laugh. But he worked hard and he was devoted to his Alpha. And he was extremely devoted to Lyra who many assumed would someday be their Luna. Teo had hated Lyra. She'd acted like a princess who was above most of the pack. He'd been happy not to have to guard her, even if it was, technically, a big part of his job. Fuck. He cursed silently. It was all so obvious now. Teo would have been willing to bet his left nut that Lyra was Lars' mate. And had she rejected him? Not exactly. What she had been doing for the last twelve years was warping his soul. Lars had stepped into the position. He had guarded Lyra closely. They were often alone t

"I missed a call. I didn't even feel it vibrate." Luca frowned down at his phone, his mind still reeling with the pieces of history that they were beginning to put together from the year Vos' pack had hosted the yearly Alpha meeting. Luca's body was still shaking with anger, but at least he'd managed to convince his wolf that it wouldn't help anyone if he exploded out his skin right now in the passenger seat of the SUV.Luca pushed the phone back into his pocket. He'd already missed the call and the signal here was extremely weak. He'd check for a voicemail once it was stronger. Right now all he could focus on was what Dani's older brother had shared with him over the course of the previous two hours. And he had to admit as the days went on, he was beginning to view Alpha Vos as Dani's older brother because Vos was stepping into the role with more and more confidence.The night that Luca's father, the then Alpha West, had arrived with Alpha Harding at the Vos household, Vos' mother

Stella opened her eyes, blinking twice before closing them again quickly against the light flooding in through the window. Her entire body ached. She reached out with her mind, seeking the comfort of her wolf, but found only silence, an empty hole in her psyche where her wolf's presence usually filled the void. A wave of nausea rolled through her body, forcing her to push herself up onto her elbows, her eyes opening again, one hand shielding them from the light of the window.Someone had placed a wastebasket with a plastic bag in it right next to her bed and she slid down on her knees, emptying the contents of her stomach, which by now wasn't much more than stomach acid, into the bottom of the thin bag."Welcome back to the land of the living, Stella West." Stella froze, her fingers digging into the edge of the thin metal bucket as she realized that she wasn't alone. She wanted to stand and wield the small trash can as some sort of weapon, proving to herself and her weapon master th
