Dean
~~~
I groaned as I saw Mom waiting for me outside the men’s locker rooms. “I’m fine,” I said before she could say anything.
“Are you sure? She didn’t just break your nose, she crushed it.”
“Yeah, I know. I was there, remember,” I told her and waved my hand over my face. “But I healed, and I don’t even have a bruise.” I appreciated the worry, but it also irritated the crap out of me. She wouldn’t be acting like this with my older brother, Ryder.
Mom pursed her lips as she looked at my face. “Are you sure about her? I mean, perhaps you are merely fascinated by her.”
I snorted. “Really Mom? I get you all to think I’m out there, but I’m not that far out there

“Where have you been?” Father demanded when I walked into my bedroom. Sadie was there as well. “I was doing some work in the gym.” His thin lips pressed into a thin line as he glared at me through narrowed eyes. “You don’t need to be doing any of that anymore. You’re too hard. Men like their women soft and they most definitely don’t want their women stronger than they are.” I nearly snorted in response, but I controlled myself. I hadn’t been soft in a very long time. “There is another gathering tonight,” her father told her. “You have one hour, be ready — Sadie, make her look less like that.” He waved a hand towards me for emphasis. She bowed her head. “Of course, Alpha.” “G

We walked around a few minutes more when we stopped by the future alpha, Ryder, and his mate. “Alpha Joseph, I was wondering if I could speak with you a moment,” Ryder said.Surprise flashed over Father’s face for a moment. “Of course, what would you like to discuss.“I wanted to ask your opinion on the proposed stance on rogue prevention offered by the Alpha of Death Valley. It seems quite controversial and seems like a lot of the others are against it,” Ryder said, holding out his arm for them to speak.Father glanced back at me. I could tell he wanted to talk to the future alpha, but was afraid of what scene I might make. I told him I’d return to the room when Brook spoke with a bright smile. “Don’t worry, I’ll keep your daughter company, Alpha Joseph.&r

Dean pulled us into a dark room with a large pool in the center. “No one ever comes in here this late, so we should be good,” he said, sitting on the edge. He took off his shoes and rolled up his pants. “Come on, dip your feet in. The water is great. I promise I won’t bite unless you ask.” He waggled his eyebrows at me.I rolled my eyes as I sat next to him. We shouldn’t be doing this. This was a bad idea. But I didn’t want Dean thinking I was afraid of him. Because I wasn’t. Nope. Not at all. “Why are we here?”“Why not?”“My father—”“You worry too much, beautiful. You’ve been here a few days now, and I’ve hardly got to say three words to you before someone takes

All my worrying about Father catching us outside the room with Dean was pointless. Father didn’t come to see me until almost nine in the evening. “So how did everything go?” I asked when he sat in the window seat.“The usual humdrum. That girl, Alice, she’s not giving up on her silly ideas concerning the rogues,” he replied as he narrowed his eyes at me.My throat tightened as he continued to stare. “What?”“I should ask you that,” he said in a gruff bark. “What did I do to deserve such betrayal from my family and those I most trust?”Uh-oh. “W-what do you mean?”Father scoffed, and the glare turned downright glacial. “I’m no fool,

Dean~~~I sat in the living room with Mom in our nightly routine of a cup of tea. I wasn’t a huge tea fan, but I liked that I had my own thing with her and sometimes, Dad. It gave us a good time to catch up on things. I preferred the simple black while both Mom and Dad went for the fancier stuff. “How are things with Nicole?” Mom asked after Dad finished filling us in about today’s meeting progress. It was interesting only as long as I wasn’t the one involved in all the politics.“It’s going pretty good,” I admitted.“She’s not shown any more tendencies of violence has she?” Dad asked, worried.Again, I found the worry to be a little insulting. T

I couldn’t believe Father attacked Dean and, what’s more, lost. How did Dean beat him? I shook my head, forcing myself to focus. That didn’t matter. What did matter was what we were going to do next. “Okay, so Father is detained and Dean isn’t hurt. Where does this leave us?” I asked, pacing back and forth.“I’m not sure how long the alpha plans to detain your father, but when he releases him we are to leave and never return.”My throat tightened at the words. Emotions I didn’t understand flooded through me. Closing my eyes, I took a moment to shove them down. I didn’t have time to understand what I was feeling. The pack needed me. I lifted my chin and squared my shoulders. I had to be strong right now. Opening my eyes, I blew out a breath before focusing back on Wesley. “Alright, this is w

I walked through the house, unsure where I was going until I stopped, light-headed. I leaned against the hallway, my hands covering my face. This didn’t just happen, did it?. Alpha Brent was holding me hostage through my father? This wasn’t legal, even by werewolf laws. He’d all but announced a war on my pack, but only if I could prove it. Some pacifist he was, I thought with a sad scoff. What was I going to do? How could I free Father?“Nic? Nic, are you alright?” Brook said, laying a hand on my shoulder.Anger trickled through me. Did I look alright? “No.”“What happened?”A laugh that was nothing short of maniacal bubbled out of me. “What hasn’t happened? My father attacked Dean, Alpha Brent banished my

My heart pounded in my ears like some primitive and primal drum as we kissed. I’d like to blame everything on Dean, but I couldn’t. My traitorous body leaned into him as Dean’s hand slid around the back of my neck, sending a shiver down my spine, and the other around my waist to hold me against him. The urge to reach out and hold him was so strong I had to fist my good hand, and my arms were trapped between us.The kiss broke with Dean, pecking at my lips a few times before pulling back. I had to blink a few times to refocus on his face as I swallowed. Dean grinned, sliding his hand that held my neck. He brushed his thumb along my cheek. “Totally worth the wait.”My face burned, and I took a quick step back. “You’re lucky I’m right-handed, or I would’ve knocked you off that stool,” I said, but the thre
