FAYEI loved the way Axel’s one hand rested easily on the steering wheel while the other held the gear shift. I loved the way the warm breeze whipped in through the windows of his new Porsche. I loved the easy conversation, and the easy silence — because we knew each other so well now. Better than when I'd left home. Axel let me choose the playlist as we caught up, him filling me in on his work, and what was going on with Yvonne, while I talked about my relief at finishing school finally, and reminisced about the things I would miss about Uni. Even though it had been hard, studying for a business degree, I had finally gotten it. "I can’t believe you're driving a Porsche now," I commented, running my hands along the edge of my seat.It was literally brand new, decked out, and it was dark and edgy. The interior was leather and sleek, the dashboard advanced, and the paint job was matte black. Even his rims were a dark charcoal gray, and I loved the way he looked in the driver seat —

FAYEI strolled the exquisitely landscaped grounds of the pack estate. It was a cold evening, and I'd only worn a silk top and loose trousers to step out of my room. Probably not the best choice, since the cold bite of the wind was now whipping me. I rubbed my hands up and down my arms, trying to rub away the chill. I continued to look around, taking in the Eclipse pack estate. I stayed in a detached duplex with a little fenced lawn, a little way away from the huge pack house, which stood squarely in the center of the land. Painted a pale white, its color was giving off a glow similar to that of the moon at midnight. It was a magnificent house, large and in addition decorative.It felt surreal. Being back here in the states. It had only been four years, but it felt like a lifetime. I'd only ever learnt to stand by myself there. My day-to-day care and living depended solely on me, and the decisions and made. And of course on Axel. I could feel a smug smile pull at my lips as I rem

FAYEI stepped out of the elevator and turned right, heading down to Kate’s apartment at the end of the hall. I was excited to see her again, after not seeing her for such a long time. She knew I was back in the States, but she didn't know I was on my way to her apartment right now.I knocked solidly three times and waited for Kate to open the door. She did so without hesitation and stood there; the shock written all over her face.Her right hand whipped up over her mouth and she stared at me with wide eyes, as I stood there grinning from ear to ear. My surprise had been effectively carried out. "Gonna invite me in?" I asked with a smile.The next minute she squealed and threw the door widely opened, and then flung herself on me, screaming the entire time. I vaguely wondered what her neighbors in the other apartments would think, even as I hugged her back and squeezed, trying to imprint her body shape on mine. She broke the hug and then brought her hands to grip my palms. "Your ha

NATHAN"I'm just saying. She's been missing for a year now. And the Black Saint can't be without…well a wife, a hostess for the gatherings you hold, or a spouse to stand in for you when you need it." He finished and flashed me a wide sickening grin as though he had come up with the most fantastic idea of the century.I rolled my head, wondering why my neck was so fucking stiff. "Listen, Eastwood, I have a lot of work I need to get done, so could you just get to the point?""Oh…my daughter, Erin. You've met her before."Yes, I had. And what an unpleasant meeting those days had been. "She's a beautiful girl, if I say so myself. I'm very proud of her—""And so what if she's beautiful? What, you want me to sponsor a modeling career for her or something?""Ahh, no Black Saint. I want you to marry her." He fidgeted on the word marry and I almost laughed. "What the are you saying, Eastwood?""Faye has been missing for over a year now. It's obvious she doesn't want to come back to you. And

NATHANSomething was different. The sounds I was hearing was one. I pushed open the door and walked in. The sounds were getting louder. I walked further into the room and froze. That was when I knew what I was hearing. Sex noises, and the sight before me confirmed it.A shirtless Lannon was making out with Zelda. To think neither of them heard my car pull up. Lannon especially. He was a werewolf, and yet he didn't notice that they were no longer alone. I was about to make my presence known when Lannon suddenly froze. His back went rigid with tension and then he relaxed. Thought he wouldn't figure it out."What's wrong?" Zelda asked him breathlessly."Nathan." He whispered to her.I cleared my throat, and Zelda snapped her head at me. Her eyes were wide with visible shock.Lannon stood up and looked at me while Zelda fixed her hair and muttered curses at him the entire time.I arched a brow and smirked at him.The question I wanted to ask was plain on my face."So, how's the treatme
