Jordan received notification of the attack on some of their pack while they were out at a club for shifters and supernatural beings. It was crazy. Why would they want or care about two fox shifters and a lone wolf pup? There had to be something they didn’t know about. Some power move the Crimson Nights needed them for. This didn’t sit well with Jordan at all. The entire pack wallowed in the criminal. He and Malcolm had their kinks, but they didn’t make a business out of trading in it. The Crimson Nights ran a private club for supernaturals and catered to their kinks. Anything from blood dolls, women who enjoyed being fed off of. To those searching for pain and torture. Those were extremes, but the club specialized in milder things as well. Jordan frequented the club’s milder side in the past. He had no problem with that. What he had an issue with was the rumours the people serving were trafficked, and it wasn’t their choice. Jordan put two and two together. Did t

Malcolm was getting work done when the alarm on his phone went off. It was finally time for him to fetch Melody and David for a visit with the pack healer. There was no way that she was getting out of it. Malcolm wouldn’t allow her to ignore or avoid her health. They’d just mated, and they had a pup to think about. Malcolm locked his laptop up. He’d made sure everything was off his computer that could show them off in a poor light. HR already contacted him about registering them as a married couple. The judgement and disapproval were annoying to the extreme. Malcolm left a message for the pack lawyer to prepare for a lawsuit about discrimination against a married couple. There should be no reason at all that they couldn’t work together. There was no information on the firm losing money or productivity. This was all a load of hypocritical crap. Now that Ellie was in the shop, she could take over. Malcolm would go with Melody and David to the appointment with

“Is this really necessary, Malcolm?” Melody couldn’t see why this was necessary. Neither she nor David were ill. “Why are we wasting the healer’s time?” “I’ve told you. This is too easy on my mind. You haven’t seen a healer, nor has David. I want you both examined to ensure there’s nothing wrong. We’ll have your records set up at the same time.” “So you don’t think I can look after David or myself properly?” Melody was now annoyed and offended by Malcolm’s high-handed actions. Along with his complete disregard for all her efforts. “Melody, I am concerned. They limited your resources to begin with, then they kicked you out of the only home you had left. I’d be remiss not giving you and David access to this. You’re mine and, as I’ve said, I look after what is mine. There’s nothing you can say to change this.” Malcolm was tiring of her resistance. She was resisting any kind of help he gave and was all but cutting her nose off to spite her face. He could see

“Okay, we’re done once you have your vaccines and have your blood drawn for a few tests.” Healer Talan said as Melody got dressed again. Malcolm stayed with David while the healer examined her. He left her there and returned to the consulting room and Malcolm. It annoyed her she couldn’t tell what they were saying. It had to be about her or David. Which she should know, right? She frowned as she entered the consulting room. “Everything is okay, right, Healer Talan?” “I checked her out, but I have a few questions for you. Have you been ill with the flu or cold?” “Yes, months ago. But it’s been over and done with for some time.” Melody didn’t understand why this was an issue. “It took you a while to recover. Fatigue, body aches, and coughing?” She wasn’t certain where this was going. “All the above. But what has that got to do with anything?” The healer’s assistant was ready to take blood and give her the vaccines.” “It was a virus that you

Ellie looked in the mirror. Her shoulder had finally stopped bleeding. She was still in disbelief that he’d done this to her. He was thinking with his dick and not his brain. “It looks fine. The bleeding has stopped and you’re mine now.” Jordan came up behind her and wrapped her in his arms. She could feel the warmth of his naked body press up against her back. Her body still wanted him, even though she was annoyed and angry with him. “What is it with you telling me over and over that I’m yours? What, now you’re stuck with me because I’m no longer in mint condition and you damaged the box? I feel you set me up. What are you going to do when reality sinks in and you have to deal with other people and the pressures, they force you to endure?” She watched his reaction in the mirror over the sink because if she turned around, Ellie was sure they’d be going at it on the counter before her. “First, you aren’t some action figure. You’re my mate. Second, have you every
