SHADOW “Can mercury, like STD, be passed on to someone?” “That’s a stupid question. It can’t,” my mate answered. “Your emotions are just more human than Lycan. And maybe you should finish whatever you have unfinished dirty business with your mate. It helps a lot more than you know.” That last part made my cheeks flush. “You’re not listening, Zarah. I watched the man walk toward us, and he would shoot me. He was already pulling the gun from his back, and I just stared like a scared deer caught in headlights. If it wasn’t for Califf, I could be dead now.” “You froze, Shadow. It’s normal. It happens to everyone in that situation when it brings back bad memories. There’s nothing wrong with you.” Zarah was hiding what she saw in my head and wasn’t planning on telling me. “I didn’t have a flashback. And you said it yourself that something is blocking you. And I supposed to sense dangers and hear it a mile away,” I explained, needing more of her support than telling me there was nothin

CALIFF “I’m so sorry, Claire. I wish I had good news.” “I want you to be honest with me, Alpha. Is my husband dead?” “I don’t know, Claire.” I shook my head. I didn’t know how to answer a grieving woman waiting for her mate to return to her. And she looked like she had been crying and hadn’t been sleeping well. “The PD in the city and the sheriff hadn’t found a body. So we have hopes. That’s why we’re not giving up.” She smiled sadly. “I know he’s still alive. I may not be able to reach him out through our link, but I know he’s just somewhere having a midlife crisis and will come back to me once he realizes he has someone waiting for him at home.” “I’m sure they are doing their best to find him, and we are doing the best we can.” She stood up. “I can feel him, Alpha. I know he’s still alive.” I held the woman’s hand and smiled. “Then we will hold on to that.” “Thank you.” “No, Claire. Thank you. Just stay home. When he comes back, you will be there for him.” Once she left th

SHADOW My eyebrow arched. Califf’s phone rang, and I didn’t know it was a call from Grady, who took over the pack after Keane lost his chance. Well, he deserved it. Keane was nothing but a dirtbag and took advantage of his power, killed werewolves, conquered packs, and slept with women because he was the alpha. “Alpha Grady, it’s good to hear from you. How have you been?” He put it on speaker before putting his phone on the nightstand. “I’m good. Thank you. The pack has been great. We managed to salvage what was left, and now we’re starting to get there.” I lay back in bed as I listened to their conversation. I was already dressed in my hiking gear while Califf was still in his towel. Water drops rolled down his shoulders to his bare chest. “Good to hear that. By the way, you didn’t call just to say hello. Is there anything I can help you with?” His eyes glimmered as he caught me ogling him. I let my eyes wander down his abs. Damn, those eight packs made me drool, and the deep

CALIFF “What is it?” I stopped dead in my tracks. I sensed the anxiousness coming from Shadow. “I smell blood.” We began sniffling the air. The metallic scent became more pungent. “It’s animal blood.” She was right. “Yeah.” “I’ll go check it,” Kairo volunteered himself, but Lyon stopped him. “You don’t go alone. That could be a trap. For a smart guy, sometimes, you’re an idiot.” “Okay, big guy,” Kairo said, but without flaring his nose at Lyon. “What’s the plan, Alpha?” “Lyon and Kairo, go check if it’s an animal attack or killed by some animal hunters. Tor, stay behind them. Be the lookout.” “Right, because it did not die naturally,” Shadow said. “Just look out for traps, and—” “And be vigilant. Got it.” Zack groaned, pissed off at how Kairo replied to his Luna. “Show some respect, Kairo.” Kairo slightly bowed his head at me and Shadow. “I’m sorry. I mean no disrespect, Alpha, Luna. I was just excited. That’s all.” “Are you done?” Lyon waited impatiently for him. “Righ

SHADOW “You’ve been teasing me since morning, and I’ve been having trouble controlling my unruly dick since then.” “How is it my fault?” I countered as he pressed his prominent bulge against my ass. “Get naked, Shadow.” “Nope,” I disobeyed with a pop. “Do it. You’re pissing off my wolf.” He just dropped something on the floor. When I checked it, it was his t-shirt, and the next thing to pile down was his khaki pants and socks. “What are you doing?” “What do you think I am doing? Getting naked and giving my cock the satisfaction it craves. Aren’t you wet, my Luna?” He came behind me, pulling my shirt off over my head, then unhooked my bra. “We have work to do, Califf,” I protested, but a whimper rose up my throat. “Screw it,” he murmured. “I want to fuck you right now, or I can’t work with my head full of dirty sex thoughts of what to do to you.” “Wow.” I was still not facing him, but he was already unbuttoning my pants, dragging them down with my panties. “What if I refuse?”

CALIFF “I’m just connecting the dots. I mean, come on. Didn’t ever cross your mind the possibility?” “That’s fucking absurd.” I gritted my teeth in enraged. I couldn’t believe Shadow, of all people, was accusing Calder of being a murderous rogue. What was his angle? Why was he killing random people? Culling the herd? “I’m not accusing him,” she said, defending herself. I couldn’t even believe I was still listening to this. “He may not know what’s going on with his wolf, but there’s a possibility that he’s—” “It’s impossible, Shadow. Are you even hearing yourself right now?” “I know we all have blind spots when it comes to our family, blood, our pack, but we should take into consideration that he could be sick. The same week he came to visit you, the sheriff found a dead body and then the mercenary. Sean Nest was found just a few miles from us and from his residence. Is that a coincidence? Am I the only one seeing this?” She made an awful kind of sense, but there was no way Clader

SHADOW “Why are you exactly here, daughter?” “I need a dress for Grady’s party.” I came to Italy two hours ago for other reasons, but I couldn’t choose between white and black gowns. “The new Alpha?” “Yes.” I grabbed the red gown to check the designs and make sure it wasn’t itchy. It was gorgeous. Of course, it was. It was a haute couture gown. Sebastien took me to a high-end brand, and I was hoping he would pay for this because I wouldn’t waste my money on expensive clothing that I would only wear once. “I felt your anger when you came earlier. I guess you and Califf had a misunderstanding.” “Father, be useful. Which one of these two?” I grabbed the red and black gowns, hoping he would give me some helpful ideas. I rolled my eyes and put them back on the rack when he shook his head. “You’re useless.” “My dear,” he called the saleslady who had been showing off her cleavage, batting her lashes at my father, while Sebastien didn’t even give her a second look. “Have you picked

CALIFF “You look stunning, and you’re not wearing the gown and jewelry I bought for you.” And not only that. She was still mad at me and sleeping in the other room. “You cleaned up pretty well, yourself, Alpha. And yes, Sebastien paid a lot to buy this gown.” It was the longest sentence she had ever said to me in the past three days. And I missed my mate. I missed the sweet and funny and caring Shadow. I just couldn’t believe this was happening, and she was making it her mission to prove herself right and make me suffer in the end. If there was one thing we had in common, we were both stubborn, strong-headed, and never yield. As the limousine drove smoothly through the night road, Lyon and Zack gave us privacy. “You’re making it personal when we should work in this case together, and hunters are still hunting while we are fighting for nonsense.” “Sebastien is right after all.” She scoffed. A disgusting smile appeared on her red lips. She looked absolutely stunning tonight, thou
