FIRE AND FLUORITE
Amy’s singing from the other room woke me while it was still dark out. Not because she sounded offkey, but because she was so damn good.I tried to enjoy the softly sung words that were sending shivers down my spine, but then my skin began to itch and the need to move overwhelmed me.I was out of bed in the next second and opening my bedroom door without really thinking things through. Moving down the hallway, I found Amy in the living room. She was already dressed in leather pants that melded to her skin but looked soft and pliable. She had on a white tank top, and her midnight hair was pulled back into a ponytail.Basically, she looked like a badass biker chick. I was in awe.She turned her smile on me, acting friendlier than she had the day before. “How’d you sleep?”“Not as well as usual, but good enough for the few hours I got,” I answered, scratching at my skin.Her eyes watched my movements. “Shifter jitters. I forgot about those. They’ll go away eventually.”Right, I thought.

DISGUSTING
My skin began to crawl, and not in the itchy way it had been before, but in the “my stomach was churning and something wasn’t right” way.“Pull over,” I told Atlas when we’d already passed the vehicle.“No,” he retorted.Fine. I didn’t need his permission before when I’d jumped out the window, and I didn’t need it now.Though I hadn’t considered that last time the jeep had been stopped before I’d leapt onto the road…I heard Amy’s shocked gasp and Atlas snarl my name, but there was nothing I could do once I’d committed to exiting the jeep one way or another.To my surprise, I didn’t fall into a heap of arms and legs, knocking the shit out of my body like I’d expected. I somehow managed to land gracefully on my feet, then kneeled quietly in the tall grass at the side of the road.Atlas hit the brakes, but I wasn’t paying attention to the jeep. No, my sights were set on the van still on the side of the road. I could faintly hear a child crying and two men arguing.“You fucking moron!” o

KIDNAPPER
“What do we do with him now?” Amy asked, looking between me and Atlas.Since I wasn’t the professional kidnapper or killer here, I let him answer.“If he doesn’t know anything, we have to kill him,” he muttered with annoyance.Boris wailed beneath us. “Please, don’t. I swear I won’t tell anyone what happened here today. I’ll say I gave Mario the kid and went on my way.”With how easily Atlas had killed the other dude, I wasn’t sure he was in the “letting kidnappers go” kind of mood, but I previously hadn’t expected him to kiss me and stick his hand down my pants, either. Crazier things had happened in the last few days.Atlas picked the guy up from the ground and held him in the air with one hand. “You’re coming with us.”Boris’s muddy eyes widened. “Why? Just kill me now if you’re not going to let me go.”I scoffed. This asshole wanted mercy after he’d stolen a kid? Not fucking likely, but cool of him to think it was possible.“You’re going with us to Fire and Fluorite,” Atlas said.

LATER
I could see the boy giggling in Elena’s arms as she seemed to keep talking to him until he pointed up ahead.Amy turned down a street and he pointed again.Houses began popping up, and I saw a few curtains flutter, but nobody came out to see who was creeping through their neighborhood. Interesting.Thanks to not having a top on the jeep, I caught Silas frown at Elena, then shake his head. He must have gotten lost. Not surprising, considering he was maybe six years old.Elena looked back at me, and I could see the frustration in her eyes, but when she turned back to Sammy, she was smiling again as if everything was okay.How could anyone have thought this woman would pass for a murdering witch? That had been Jacob’s first mistake. His second had been trying to trick me into doing his dirty work.I glanced back at the guy I had tied to the metal floor of the van. “Where did you take the kid from?”“I’ll tell you if you promise to kill me quickly,” he pleaded, snot and tears covering his

UNSPOKEN WARNING
She didn’t answer right away, a crease deepening between her brows. “I don’t know.”I didn’t continue with any other questions.Jack’s men didn’t need to know anything more about us than they had to. All that mattered was that they were offering us refuge in a House that was as volatile as a homemade bomb.For now, that was good enough.ElenaWe were taken to a small house with dark-green siding and cream trim. There was a small porch out front that looked like a nice place to relax until I noticed the scorch marks and bullet holes in the chairs that were sitting next to the door.Right. We were in somewhat of a warzone. Just because we’d made it inside Fire and Fluorite safely didn’t mean that we would stay that way.More importantly, something within me was off. I was freaking out at first, but the longer we were within the House, the more the stirring inside me seemed familiar.I had no idea why since I’d been trapped at my coven for nearly three decades, never even venturing throug

SINCERLLY
I choked on a laugh. “If you’ve done something? I thought I’d done something. You weren’t around much yesterday when I expected you to be, and I don’t know. I just… Well, I’ve never had a friend, so I don’t know. Just ignore me. It’s dumb.”Her bright eyes stared directly into mine, and she glared. “Elena. Don’t you ever say your feelings are dumb. I won’t tolerate that kind of bullshit. Not in our friendship. Even if you’re not seeing the situation fully, what you feel matters. You matter. Never be afraid to speak your piece. That’s the only way to build a true friendship. Something I hope you and I will have one day.”Emotions burned at the back of my throat. “Seriously? I thought you were only here because you felt like you had to be and that you’d probably be gone just as soon as your obligations from the visions were met.”She waved a flippant hand. “Hell no. Not unless I need to be for reasons beyond my control. I haven’t had a vision in years. Learning about you in the weird wa

PSYCO
“If the horrible moment is something you need me to help you get revenge for, just know, I have no boundaries when it comes to giving people their comeuppance.”The laugh that bubbled out of me felt so freeing. Like shedding a layer of my prior life and finding something new and exciting that offered a bright spot in my future.It was…unexpected, yet something I wouldn’t soon forget.“Thank you,” I said. “I don’t think that will be necessary, but I’ll keep your offer in mind.”She closed her eyes and leaned back against the couch. Her eyelids fluttered, and she took several breaths, then sat straight up. “I need to go.”“What? Why?” Panic rose as I glanced back at the door.Sure, I could kick some serious ass in hand-to-hand combat, but being alone in a house owned by a bunch of wolf shifters who looked like they murdered people for breakfast didn’t seem all that appealing.“Atlas is almost back,” Amy answered as she got up and tightened her ponytail. “I promise, you’ll be okay. I wou

NOT YET
My hand came down firmly over her right cheek, but not enough to leave a bruise. The sound was drowned out by Elena’s gasp. Though, if I was reading the situation right, it wasn’t because of pain. Nowhere near that.“You bastard,” she hissed, but there was a slight moan lacing her words.I spanked her again. “Keep it up. I can do this all day.”“Fuck you,” she spat, moving out of my grasp, and then she was shoving me until I was lying on the bed and her knees pinned my arms down.Her move wasn’t anything that I couldn’t get out of, but given her ass was settled over my hardening cock, I decided to see what this innocent, mouthy woman was going to do next.“Fuck me?” I challenged. “I didn’t think you were being literal.”She took in our compromising position, then raised her hand, but I blocked her attempt to punch me in the jaw.“Uh-uh. I don’t think so,” I said, then I flipped our positions. Violence wasn’t what I was in the mood for.Regardless of the voice in my head telling me tha

DID IT MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER?
As soon as her pants and underwear came off, I finally saw the flash of uncertainty in her face. She nibbled at her lip and slowed her movements, but before the nerves could completely unravel her, I bent forward and captured her mouth with my own.I normally wasn’t one to give a shit about a woman’s feelings, but this wasn’t just any woman. This was Elena. My mate, even though I hadn’t been looking for her. I had to be what she needed, even if she didn’t know what that was.She kissed me back, and her hands began tugging at my shirt, but I pushed them to her sides. “No.”Her brows furrowed as she settled down onto the mattress. “No?”“I won’t leave you how I did back at the circus,” I promised, “but we’re not having sex until I know you understand what that means.”And given I didn’t want to have that conversation with my cock aching and her writhing beneath me, I dropped to my knees before she could respond.My hands pushed her thighs farther apart, meeting no resistance from my lit

EXTRA CONNECTED
“All things considered, yeah. I’ve wanted to find a life beyond Earth and Emerald for years. Sure, I could have gone without being kidnapped, but the end result is going to be the same.” I added a wink, trying to lighten the heaviness around us.“How do you know things will be the same?” he asked with a tilt of his head.“I just do. Something about all of this feels right.” I paused. “Not like Lia’s intuition or anything, but being here doesn’t make me nervous like I’d expected it to after everything I’d heard about this House.”Atlas’s eyes darkened. “What do you know about your parents?”That was a swift change in conversation.“Nothing,” I answered. “Well, besides the fact that there was a woman I assume was my mother who left me at the coven when I was a baby.”He looked away and nodded before turning back to me with a softer look. “About earlier. Do you know much about mates?”I knew enough. Or at least, I had thought so before he’d asked me. Once I’d learned what I’d considered
