QuinnWe arrived at the packed camping grounds just as the sun started to set. The four packed SUVs driving into the park attracted attention, and when the impressive men got out and began to unpack, the cars every eye was on us.I squirmed under everyone’s gaze, and stood closer to the other she-wolves, unconsciously seeking refuge in the safety of my pack.Troy glanced at me and smiled, then start to whistle softly while he helped his warriors to unpack. “Princess,” one of the she-wolves whispered. “My name is Olivia, I’m Casper’s mate.”“You’re not supposed to call me that when we’re…with humans,” I whispered back.My mate looked up from his work, smiled, winked and started to pull one of the tents out of a canvas bag.“You should just call me Quinn while we’re here,” I said.Olivia’s face lit up and she beamed at me as if I gave her a bar of gold or something.“Handsome group of men yah got,” someone said to us.I looked up and straight into a human woman’s face. She was older, ma

Troy When I brought up the topic of murdering Cher Nixon, I did not expect any resistance from Quinn. I felt her bloodlust earlier, the intense need to kill something. It was partly the approaching full moon, but mostly it was because of everything that had happened with her family's unexpected visit. I have had the urge to kill just so I could feel better, and I knew exactly what my mate was going through and how to help her. If Quinn allowed Salome out now, she’d go straight to Cher and kill her without thinking twice. An angry, emotional, homicidal werewolf was a dangerous werewolf, and if she didn’t get it out of her system, Quinn could turn on someone she loved. I should have taken her into the woods to shift a few times before the full moon. It would have made the last month so much easier on her, taught her how to control Salome better. Even I needed to shift, needed to set my animal free from time to time - it restored our equilibrium. “I thought you don’t kill women and ch

Quinn Even as I walked up to Cher, I still wasn’t sure if I wanted to kill her. My human morals were getting in the way. But when she called her daughters little shits, I lost control of Salome for a few seconds, and she tackled the human to the ground before I could stop her. When I had Cher on her back, I looked up at Troy who had shifted back to human so he could taunt the woman. I wanted to know why she didn’t just leave. If she hated them so much, why didn’t she just leave? But Troy didn’t ask the question, and I couldn’t shift back no matter how hard I tried. It was a question that would forever go unanswered. I just wanted my mate's permission. I wanted him to reassure me that it would be okay, that I could kill her because she deserved to die after the things she'd done. “Go ahead,” Troy said. “Rip her throat out.” When I looked back to the human she became everyone I hated. My mother who hurt me so many times, all the Carolines and Freddies that took so much pleasure in

Troy “You’re home earlier than expected,” Sebastian said when we got out of the car. "I thought you wouldn't be home until tomorrow." The others detoured to the camp in the woods so they could leave their mates with the pack, and I already felt Quinn’s longing to have her friends back and by her side. She-wolves needed other she-wolves, and I had no idea why I didn't remember that. “We ran into some problems," I replied. "The Northern wolves…obliterated the humans where we camped out.” Sebastian’s mouth dropped open. “They what?” “They killed them all. Even the rogues.” "Because you were there?" I shook my head, and looked over at Quinn. Her eyes were swollen and red. She was pale and quiet. She was used to violence, she accepted that I killed people, but in her mind, they all deserved it. The people at the campgrounds did not deserve to die. What broke her for good was when we stopped at the police station in Haverton to had over the child. I told the police a cock and bull st

QuinnI had no idea why Troy suddenly wanted to talk about our bedroom activities. We went from being deadly serious, to talking about sex in an instant. It reminded me of that day when we came home from the castle – except on that day, we went from talking about sex to more serious things without so much as skipping a beat.Maybe that was just how it went when you were a prince slash crime boss slash husband. You took the five minutes at your disposal to talk to your wife about how boring your sex life had become.I went down the list that he marked as hard no’s. It was all neatly typed up without a single mistake – not so much as a comma or space were out of place.It felt a little like a business transaction. Granted it was a very intimate business transaction, and I could tell that Troy took it seriously.It was the hard no for voyeurism that caught my attention. I had no idea why that one in particular piqued my interest so much. But it was there, and now that it was I couldn't
