“What do you mean?” She closed her eyes, “I may have asked my brother for a favor." Selene rolled her eyes, but I didn't find a hint of irritation towards her brother, "He had another lost soul on his hands that I was interested in taking.” I furrowed my brows, thinking silently that this woman must have gone crazy. Have I driven her mad? Am I the first wolf to finally push her over the edge? She chuckled, glancing around the vast open space before her eyes landed on an empty space and another wide smile played on her lips. Just then, I saw something moving in the distance. When it got closer, I felt my heart skip a beat. The air was instantly sucked out of my lungs and my eyes flooded with tears. “How?” I choked out. I was starting to get up when Wyatt tackled me to the ground. He wrapped his body around mine as if we were welded together as one. I couldn’t see through the blurring of tears, but I felt him peppering my face with kisses. “Is it really you?” He le

As soon as I stepped over the threshold of my hospital room, I ran. The ache in my head grew with every passing second. My legs carried my faster than I ever imagined possible. I could see everything passing me like I had HD vision, but I knew I was moving at speeds that wolves could never. Twilight Woods was quickly in the past as I kept moving. Kept running. I don’t even know if my feet were on the ground any longer. Honestly, I didn’t care. ‘Dex, please. Please give me anything. This can’t be real. You can’t be gone.’ My head was deafening silence. Nothing. Not a grunt. Not a whine. Not a single smart-ass remark. I abruptly stopped running. Looking around, I was still in the forest. Thick lines of trees filled the space around me. Walking up to one, I slammed my fist into it, hearing a sickening crack, but not from my bones. The tree snapped, splintering down the center. It fell with ease, smashing into the ground. I heard birds escaping the area, fluttering and

I reached up, freeing her hair from the tie that held it together, letting it flow freely down her back. I laced my fingers through her curls, pulling her face to mine.Her lips parted slightly and our breaths mingled for a moment. I dipped my tongue along her lower lip, sliding it slowly, before pulling her lip through my teeth. She moaned quietly as her tongue plunged deep into my mouth, spreading an unfamiliar warmth through my body and straight to my painfully hardened length. Our tongues danced, fighting for dominance. I savored the way that she tasted. I’d missed it and never wanted to taste anything else. I could live solely on strawberry milkshakes forever and die a happy man. I could hear her heart beating erratically, like a melody in my head. Pulling away from her mouth, I kissed slowly down to her pulse, flicking my tongue over the sensitve skin. I lifted her up, grasping on to her butt and squeezing gently. Her legs wrapped tightly around my waist, and I could sme

“I will talk to Kiera. Parker is going to have to work through this on his own. He’s had issues with Wyatt for a while now and I’m not sure that’s ever going to end,” my voice lowered as I muttered, "Especially now."We left Kai’s office, heading home for the night. I knew the air in the house was going to be thick. The way Parker has been acting was out of line. Part of me wonders if he didn’t even try to heal Wyatt when he was in the hospital, but the other part of me knows the man that I'd fallen in love with all those years ago would never rob Wyatt of a chance to live. If for nothing other than me. I hated thinking that way, but something is going on with him and I’m not sure how to fix it. When we walked through the front door, I could hear Kiera and Parker arguing from their room. Hushed whispers sounded angry between the both of them. Sighing, I walked through the house and banged on the door. No need to waste any time when Wyatt’s life was on the line. Again. Parke

I watched from the kitchen as Wyatt played with Helena in the living room. I don’t think my heart will ever get used to the feeling of seeing them together. She was stumbling around in what I would call a “baby” run while Wyatt crawled around on his knees, chasing after her. Her giggles and laughing screams filled the room. I glanced up at the clock, my stomach twisting painfully. In an hour, we would be meeting with the Elders, and they had decided to bring the head of the Vampire council here with them to discuss Wyatt’s fate moving forward. It had taken almost six months for them to coordinate a time for both to be present here in Twilight Woods. Not only will Wyatt's Beta position be up for discussion, but his murder of Vincent. And the vampire must decide whether or not he should be punished for killing a sire. I was so fixated by the slow ticking of the clock, that I was nearly knocked down when Helena launched herself onto my legs in an attempt to escape the “Daddy
