The Last Day
Emily left the bathroom, and she pouted through most of the breakfast as they ate. “You know what bothers me the most?”
“No, but that’s never stopped you from telling me before. No, that’s not true, is it? You’ve been keeping things from me for years. Just saying the bare truth with none of those pesky embarrassing details. Am I right and this will be one of the more biting ones?”
“At least, you recognize what you’ve been doing. What would have been the point? You showed no interest in me as a woman. I was always an afterthought, or don’t you get it? I’m the crutch you fall back on. Maybe you should be the one looking for truths about why I said nothing about this before? Or perhaps you might try remembering the times I told you and it fell on deaf ears.”
James looked at Emily like he was seeing her for the first time. But she was sure that this was only a momentary lapse on his part.

Haden could get used to this. What caused her to go from cold to hot like this? He could get behind and he wasn’t about to look a gift horse in the mouth. He quickly divested them of the water bottles, then pulled her in close. So not to scare her, he let her be on top and take the lead. Janine decided if her son could play fast and loose, why couldn’t she? When a gorgeous wolf of a certain age came knocking and showed an interest. Why did she have to spurn him? Now she thrilled at having him at her mercy and she got down to business. With her hands on his belt, she easily opened his jeans. She heard him gasp as she revealed what he offered. Janine resisted giggling when she realized he still had it all. When she stroked him, his whole body responded like he’d been deliciously shocked.&nbs

“Hate you? No, I don’t hate you. But I am at the end of my rope. I can’t take watching you damage yourself and put this pack at risk anymore. That means if I can’t fix it, then I can’t stay.” Emily decided now she’d tell him the unfiltered truth, even if he wasn’t ready. The fact is, he’d never be ready. “Bull. I have never put the pack at risk.” James couldn’t believe she said that about him. He was a good alpha. Truth was now that she said it, something niggled at the back of his mind, and he didn’t like it. “Don’t make me count the ways. We’ll be here for days. But I’ll say it this way. This is just the latest in a long line. You disappeared on them f
Second Chance for the Alpha Let the Hunt Commence
Janine woke to the pale morning light filtering in through a loose board on the barn’s side. The rain stopped recently; she could still hear the water dripping off things outside. “Well, good morning.” A deep voice said into her right ear. That’s when it registered with her. The pillow she was using was a little too hard and warm. Because it wasn’t a pillow but Haden’s arm. Janine sat up quickly when she remembered exactly how she got into this position. What was she thinking, kissing him, and then letting everything get out of hand like that? What must he think of her? This was all too humiliating for her to think about. “We should get to the house and find them before they disappear on us again.”&
Second Chance for the Alpha Time Up, Explain Yourself
James woke because he heard something. He wasn’t sure what. But something woke him. His first thought went to Emily, but she lay beside him, asleep. He needed to get her squirrelled away safely before he investigated the noise. It could be nothing and it was a member of his pack or a stray forest animal trying to find a dry place to stay. Either way, they were just coming to some agreement, and he didn’t want anyone interfering with her staying with him. “What’s wrong? Why are you so tense?” “Heard something, like someone on the stairs. Stay here. If it gets noisy, hide in the bathroom.” “You know I’m trained to fight at y
Second Chance for the Alpha Trapped in the Lake House
“I can’t believe it. Just when we begin searching, it rains. Geez.” Eva stormed about inside the lake house. “Don’t drip on the floor. There are towels in the bathroom over there. But clean up the puddles you leave because I’m not doing that.” She grabbed a kitchen towel and started rubbing at her hair.Damon stomped into the bathroom and easily found a series of shelves full of fluffy towels. Drying off, he fumed over her attitude. Eva was about to learn that she didn’t make her mate suffer. He’d kept her clothes dry, but does she thank him? No, she didn’t. He was fuming as he left the bathroom. He’d thought she was joking until she slammed the door in his face and left out there for several minutes. “Find I’ve stopped dripping on your precious floors. Now stop acting all prickly. We’ll g
Second Chance for the Alpha Rash Decisions
His phone pinged, distracting him for the come-hither stare of his mate, silently begging him to do all sorts of delicious things to her. A quick look showed a text for his alpha. “Sit tight and do nothing either of us might regret.” A glance at his bars told him that this would be the last text or call he got for a while. There were no bars or internet access out here. Their phones were paperweights for now, while the storm raged outside.“Who’s it from? What does it say?”“That was my alpha. It basically says he knows me too well. He’s worried I’ll do something foolish and put everything at risk.” Damon threw his phone on the counter. “Now where were we? Right, I wanted to know if you want
Second Chance for the Alpha Momma Doesn’t Always Know Best
Emily followed Janine downstairs to the kitchen. “Now dear, we need to get food together on the road. That rain last night was quite bad, and we don’t know how the cliff will respond to it. I don’t want to be here if or when it goes finally. So, I’ll make something portable to eat. You pack up what’s in the kitchen. I seriously don’t know why my son keeps this place stocked. It’s not safe, and it’s encouraging people to come here.” “I can see where you’re coming from, really, I do. But it’s done for those in desperate need. Hikers and such. A night or two with a roof over their head. Someone checks on this place regularly, so we don’t have people taking up residence here.” Emily automatically explained their reasoning for the decision to keep the old
Second Chance for the Alpha Uncomfortable Truths
“Fix my reputation? What is that supposed to mean?” James didn’t know what started this or why Haden thought it was his right to say anything. “Exactly as it sounds. You have the eyes of several packs right now and they are all betting on you screwing up so royally they’ll walk right in and take over without having to lift a claw to fight for it. We’re wolves, boy, and you’re supposed to be the one at the top. But you’re acting more like a moody preteen pup.” James stood up and looked the older man in the face. “You’re seriously standing there and insulting me?” He was ready to do something about it. &ldq
