Mia's POV　　Pressing my hands against Thomas's chest I have every intention of pushing him away. But the feeling of his muscles under my fingertips only makes me want to be closer to him. Running my hands up his chest, I wrap my arms around his neck and intertwine my fingers behind his neck. I press my body against his own but I don't feel like I am close enough to him. I want my skin pressed against him.　　Unwrapping his hands from around my waist, Thomas reaches up and grabs my wrists, pulling me away from his neck. "Didn't you hear what I said?" He asks me with his eyebrows furrowed together. "I think you are in heat."　　Thomas takes a step away from me only for me to take a step toward him, closing the distance between us. "I don't think I am in heat," I say in a sultry way. "I think I just finally know what I want."　　The look on Thomas's face is desperate. It is clear that he doesn't want to take advantage of my situation. But, I finally know what I want and that is Thomas. Eve

　　Mia's POV　　"Come for me," Thomas says in a low growl before his tongue explores the curves and folds of my slit.　　His words act like the catalyst that I need and all of the pressure that has built up within my core explodes all at once. Thomas moans deeply up against my pussy and he wraps his arms around my thighs. He fucks me with his tongue until I am a quivering mess on the bed.　　Running his tongue from the bottom of my slit to the top one last time, Thomas looks up at me and smirks. "You seem winded," he says while he wipes my juices from his mouth and chin with a swipe of his hand. "Don't tell me that you are spent already."　　I look at Thomas who is now standing between my legs stroking his massive cock with his hand. As I watch him pleasuring himself I imagine that it is my hand that is stroking his hard dick and I am instantly ready for another round. Not saying a word, I flip over onto my belly and wiggle my but in Thomas's face.　　"You are playing a dangerous game," Thom

　　Dylan's POV　　As soon as I pull away from the rundown hotel I knew that it was a mistake. Cora hasn't been herself since we left the Red Moon Pack. It is almost as if the bond between us is weakening. I want nothing more than to stay on the run to protect her from the fate that awaits her back at both the Red Moon and Moonshadow Packs. On the other hand, she is determined to run right back into the danger that is waiting for her.　　My wolf is angrily pacing in my mind, demanding that I return to the hotel to make sure that Cora is okay. Growling loudly, I flip a U-turn in the middle of the road. Cars dodge out of the way and lay on their horns as they try not to hit me.　　I am only a few minutes from the hotel but it feels like an eternity. I have a feeling that something terrible has happened to Cora. Reaching out through the mate bond, I try to get her attention but she doesn't answer. She has put up a barrier so I cannot contact her. She has never blocked me out before.　　Pressing

　　Mia's POV　　Nerves bubble in my stomach as we approach the pack house of the Paxton Pack. I know that Thomas and the Luna of this pack have a history together, I am just not sure how deep it goes.　　Thomas pulls our car alongside the pack house like has been here many times before. Glancing at him out of the corner of my eyes I see that he has a death grip on the steering wheel. His knuckles are white as he twists the leather of the wheel in his hands. Finally, he turns to me and tilts my head so I am staring into his eyes.　　"Nothing happened between Emma Paxton and me," he tells me. "I thought I was in love with her but now that I know you, I know that it was nothing more than infatuation."　　I look at him stunned. "Are you saying that you love me?"　　"I thought that how I feel about you would be obvious by now," Thomas says cryptically before he gets out of the car.　　Scrambling to get out of the car, I rush as quickly as my little legs will take me until I have caught up with Tho

　　Thomas's POV　　Thrusting my hands in my pockets, I rock back and forth on my feet, staring at Alpha Ethan. We don't like each other; that much has been established. But I need his help, so I must swallow my pride.　　"So," Alpha Ethan finally breaks the silence. "What is this favor that you need?"　　"I need you to take in a rogue," I tell him.　　Alpha Ethan laughs loudly, "And just why would I do this for you?"　　"Because he is my former Beta and Cora's mate. I cannot take him back to my pack just yet. He has to earn it," I explain.　　"But he doesn't need to earn the right to be part of the Paxton Pack? Emma will never go for this," Alpha Ethan shakes his head.　　"No one needs to know," I tell Ethan. "I just need to know that he and Cora will be safe until we can deal with her parents and Alpha Richard."　　Running his fingers through his hair, Ethan lets out a low growl. "Where is he now?"　　"At some scummy hotel on the side of the highway. He is waiting for me there. I have yet to te
