(Siobhan’s P.O.V) The morning came too quickly for my liking, I was enjoying being wrapped up in my mate’s arms and feeling his breath tickle my neck. His alarm went off at 6:30 to give me plenty of time to get dressed and grab a bottle of water before I headed down to the training grounds. “Do I have to go?” I pout. “You know you have to. I’m going to be training with the spell casters that Winona called here and the male warriors.” “Why can’t I do cool training like that?” I question. I wanted to see the training that the spell casters were going to put the wolves through. It would have been funny. “Because you need to go back over the basics, considering you were just telling me that your hand-to-hand could be better. Also, when was the last time you even trained in your wolf form?” I couldn’t help the blush that covered my cheeks, it had been several years since I had last let Tala train. Like the last time I was home when I was 16, being th

(Tiernan’s P.O.V) Siobhan was now out training with the female warriors of our pack while I was going to be training with the males and the spell casters from Winona’s coven and their sister coven, Coven of the Silver Thread. Siobhan was really aggravated that she wasn’t going to be able to train with the spell casters, but I knew she needed to brush up on her hand-to-hand. Even though she’s in the FBI, they have different standards for their agents and if they encounter combative suspects. They also always have guns on them; we don’t so we need to be able to defend ourselves at the drop of a hat. I walk out to the other training grounds that are on the opposite side of the territory; it’s bigger and allows for more space between partners. “Good morning, Alpha Tiernan, thank you for allowing us onto your pack lands.” Winona greets me with another woman next to her, wearing a dress that hugged her curves. “Good morning High Priestess Winona, thank you for being here with

(Siobhan’s P.O.V) Tiernan is quick to get on top of me, grabbing my wrists and moving my hands to above my head. He settles himself between my legs, with enough of his weight on me that I can’t move. His growl vibrates in his chest as he brings his face to my neck, running his nose along the curve of it while inhaling my scent. He starts nipping at my throat, making me moan which then gets me a growl of satisfaction from him. He's taking too fucking long. Tala then begins purring, the sound radiating from my chest, and it happens in the blink of an eye…Steele takes over. “Kitten.” His voice is deep, raspy, and fucking sexy. “Alpha.” I say, baring my neck in submission. He growls in approval, letting go of my wrists so he can make his way down my body to leave his marks all over me. “Hands stay above your head. Do not move them, if you do there will be consequences.” He says. “Yes, Alpha.” I whimper as he takes one of my nipples into his mout

(Siobhan’s P.O.V) 1 week before the Blood Moon We have one more week before the Blood Moon and everyone has been working hard training and preparing for the battle. Alpha Brock and his warriors showed up a few days after our training began. We hadn’t been expecting him, he had said that his Gamma would be with his warriors, so everyone was all in an uproar that the Alpha of the White Paw Sleuth was here and no one had prepared the appropriate room for him. The packhouse workers were able to get it worked out quickly enough that Alpha Brock probably didn’t notice that we weren’t prepared for him. He was a tall man, burly like most male bear shifters are, with dark chestnut brown hair and matching brown eyes. His beard was something of magnificence and I sort of had the urge to run my fingers through it for some reason. Artis was uncomfortable being in the conference room with him, as we filled him in on the training we were doing and everything we found out through Tierna

(Siobhan’s P.O.V) Well, this is shit. One minute Tala and I are frolicking through the forest and the next I’m in front of the Goddess of death, Scàthach…naked. Great. This James fellow has me by the elbow and is walking me down to the dungeons. “So, what are you, James? Like are you a ghost or some shit?” “No.” “Well then, how were you able to get to the Human Realm and bring me here?” “The Goddess Scàthach turned me into a phantom for a time so I could return to the land of the living and retrieve you.” “Hm, I see. That still doesn’t answer my question as to WHAT you are.” “Does it really matter?” “I suppose not, but I’m an FBI agent and I’m a curious person by nature and I love to learn.” That makes him pause, and I could see in his eyes that he related to the fact that I love to learn. Hmm, maybe I can use that to my advantage. “I was sorted as a Lost soul when I died, everyone here was sorted as Lost. We did…terrible things while we were alive, an
