Damien was going over his plans when his aide arrived. The new council member had just been sworn in and the member was in his pocket. Not that anyone knew. He had decided to begin the attacks against per his plans and the council had reacted beautifully so far. They were split evenly. Some of them wanted the detained suspects released as they'd been proven innocent while the other sect felt that it could be a copycat masterminded by the heir that Reece and Breeana had failed to apprehend so far. Most important of all, none of them spoke about what they would do to address the problem. His time was coming now and while he should have been overjoyed, he was anything but.Sarah's rejection had left him astounded. Maybe he should not have been surprised that the wildcat he took in turned on him yet he was surprised by the drasticness of it. He had taken an interest in her for her backbone after all then he had taken his time in breaking her down until she had become pliable. He had w
"Bree." Reece's voice held as much shock as Breeana's face did as he fell, a bleeding wound in his middle. Ivy was on her knees and had managed to get to the gun Reece had kicked out of her grasp."Reece!" Breeana screamed, dropping to her knees, obstructing Ivy's line of fire with Reece's body unintentionally.Ivy pulled herself up so she could aim properly. She has missed before. She wouldn't miss again. Breeana would not leave this place alive. She ignored the trickle of pain in her midsection from where she had hit when Reece had flung her down hard. She straightened partway wondering where her men who had been guarding this abandoned had gone. Perhaps Reece had dispatched them. She had no idea how he had gotten here so quickly though.Breeana was still trying to shake Reece awake, blood smearing on her hands as she sobbed.Ivy took aim, her arm feeling heavy and strained from the fall. Breeana looked up from Reece to her, finally seeing her death. It was too late. Even though
Breeana helped out at the hospital. She should go to the house and relax but even if she had just seen Reece alive and well she was worried. She wouldn't be able to relax until she checked in on him again so she would help out here until she was sure he was asleep again. Then she would go and see him again. She had eaten some fruits at Ari's insistence and she had also gotten some juice as well as a quick shower and a change of clothes. It was crazy that she could be so angry at him yet care so much about him. She didn't want to think too much about it so she moved. It wasn't like there was much work to be done anyway. The rescue operation had mainly been Reece. He had come to Spain after Ari informed him. "I had to tell him. He is your mate no matter what happened. I'm not saying what he did was right or even justified. But you were missing. I had to do something. Plus he could track you with the bond."While she had been initially mad at her sister, she understood why she had d
"So you are still not going to talk with Reece?"Ari stood by the archway of her room watching her dress her bed."No, I'm not. We've said all that needs to be said. All that is left is for him to finally leave me the hell alone."The kiss they had shared two days ago must have given Reece hope because he had followed her around these past two days. He didn't speak, he just helped her with whatever she was doing.She hated him for it, hated how every single thing he did weakened her already fragile resolve to stay away from him. Ari stepped into the room. "You might just get what you want then."Breeana scoffed. If only. "Yeah, I don't think so. I think he intends to stay here for a while.""Maybe he did," Ari conceded. "But not anymore. He got a call. The pack was attacked two nights ago. He'll be on the first flight out."Reece was leaving? Breeana stopped what she was doing to look at Ari in shock. "The pack was attacked? Why the hell didn't you start with that?"She began to wal
Breeana poured herself a glass of water acting as though she hadn't just separated two people who were so in love with each other. Reece crossed the distance between them and took the glass out of her hand."Serious Bree, couldn't you have done that in a more sensitive way? Allen was so distraught."Breeana paused to look at him. "I did what needed to be done. It was better to get it done with quickly. Rip it off like a bandaid so to speak.""Better for whom? You or him?"Breeana rolled her eyes. "You are being way too sensitive about this. But then again what else do I expect from someone who prefers lies over the truth?""Bree." Reece growled.She was so aggravating. Could she not see how insensitive she was being? The only reason he didn't counter her decision with Sarah openly was that he didn't want to undermine her authority and the fact that Sarah had looked guilty as hell."Don't pull that with me." Breeana looked angry and her blue eyes crackled like there was a little thunde
The full moon shone down on the abandoned warehouse, casting eerie shadows across the empty streets.Inside, a group of werewolf hunters sat around a large wooden table, their faces twisted in anger and determination. "I have received word from one of the twisted creatures. Apparently, they are having dissent amongst themselves." The others expressed similar looks of disgust. The animals could barely control themselves, it was a wonder they hadn't hunted themselves into extinction yet. It irked him to no end that they had to rely on intel from one of them but that would soon be dispensed with and even this informant would die for being an abomination."The hunter organization has become a mere facade of what it once was. Our leaders have betrayed our creed but we will right that wrong if it is the last thing we do."The leader of the hunters, a grizzled man with a scar running down his chin, slammed his fist on the table. "We've had enough of these creatures terrorizing our city. I

Breeana looked at Reece suddenly unable to speak as he walked towards her with the bottle hanging limply from his hand.He reached her.She didn't know what to expect. No, that was wrong. She did know what to expect. It was Reece after all. He would yell at her and question her about why she hid it from him and then he'd–Reece fell on his knees and pressed his ear against her belly, his arms encircling her waist delicately.Breeana froze as he listened for the heartbeat of their child and he reacted in the most peculiar way that she could never have anticipated.He began to cry.Not loudly but softly. Breeana was confused but tried to comfort him in her own way by cradling his head against her belly.And for some minutes they stayed that way. They just stood and it was okay. Strange but okay."I'm sorry, Bree. Sorry that I made you feel the need to hide this from me."Oh, Reece. How could he be so uptight and downright annoying sometimes only to soften up and be nice later? She felt
