Chapter 61
CHAPTERI was dragged along by Mario. I knew his eyesight was better than mine because he saved me a few times from braining myself into a tree, so I just trusted him, going along with it. He was sticking to the trees, staying away from civilization. I realized we were heading in the general direction of the villa.Five minutes after Gina left with my dress, we heard howling. Mario stopped short.“They figured it out. Those were hunting calls.” I took two steps forward, tugging at him. “Then let’s keep going. I don’t want them hunting me.”“Wait just a minute,” Mario said. “I’m going to shift. My wolf can go faster than us. Just climb on when I’m ready.” He squished up his face and with a horrific popping noise, shifted in front of me. His wolf was a lot smaller than Lupo and I was worried I would squash him. He swung his head wide and bobbed it and I pushed my worries aside, scrambling on to his back. I felt his legs buckle a little but then he gathered himself, trotti

CHAPTER 62
NICCOHope dropped her tree branch and began to walk over to me. I took it all in. She was in her underwear, hair unkept, dirty and scratched. She was walking like she was drunk, staggering and dragging her feet all at once. As I watched, she began to crumple.I shifted and was by her side, catching her before she hit the ground. She was unconscious, her eyes rolled up into the back of her head. I looked over at Mario who had managed to shift back into himself. He was still winded, bent over double and gasping for air.“Why does she smell like you?” I asked, my voice fierce.“I scented her, Alpha. I’m sorry but I needed to buy us some time.” His voice was respectful but full of fear.“And why is she half naked?” I pressed. “Because I took her dress and led the hunters away,” a voice said from behind me. I turned to look and saw a girl walking towards me. She looked remotely familiar, but I didn’t know why. She looked at me and took exception to the look on my face. “Oh,

CHAPTER 63HOPE POVI opened up my eyes to Nicco staring down at me. I smiled at him and then groaned. Everything hurt.“I need to ask you a very important question,” Nicco said, his voice serious. I nodded and winced. Even that little bit of movement was excruciating.“Hope. Did you know about your wolf?” Nicco’s voice was insistent.I slowly sat up, looking at him with concern. I don’t remember him hitting his head but maybe he did. I know he fought and killed at least two wolves. Or maybe he was poisoned with whatever they gave me. “Nicco, honey. I’m human, remember? I don’t have a wolf. I wish I did, but I don’t.” I spoke softly and in the most reasonable voice I could. Nicco looked at an old woman who was holding a vial of what looked like blood and gave her a helpless look.“She thinks I’m crazy,” he said in Spanish.“Ask her about her strength,” a man said in the same language. I rolled my eyes to the side and saw Mario standing with another woman I didn’t know.

CHAPTER 64NICCO POVI kept the rumble going until Hope dropped off to sleep in my arms. Gina looked at her and then back at me. “Do you believe her?” she asked me, somewhat curtly. I looked at her in mild surprise. No one talked to me like this in the States. I was treated with deference, called by my title and spoken to with respect. Gina was a blunt and a little rough around the edges. Oddly, it didn’t bother me coming from her.“Who?” I asked. “My mate? She had no idea that she has a wolf.”“No, the healer,” Gina said. “I would think that your wolf would sense Hope’s if she really had one.”I shrugged. “Maybe,” I said. There were things that I always had trouble explaining, like why the rumble worked on her. It was a fated mate thing and I had just assumed that it was because we were fated. But I had never heard of it working on a human mate before. She had also accepted me and my Pack quickly. Most humans, when introduced to our world, don’t handle it well. Human

Chapter 65NICCO POVI was brooding. Everything had worked out, but it still felt like something was wrong.Vinnie had sprung into action and taken care of almost everything for me. The house was cleaned out, the staff paid, and I was sticking around to sign a few papers. Each night I went back to stay with Hope at the hotel where she had mostly recovered and was very bored. I insisted that she stay inside where I could be sure she was safe, and she was becoming increasingly irritated with me.“Nicco?” she asked, snuggling up to me. "Hmmm?" I replied, sleepily. I normally didn't need much sleep anyway, but since the night Hope was attacked the little sleep I did get was interrupted by dreams that seemed more than dreams. Memories, maybe."I understand why we can't go home right now but I don't want to be stuck inside anymore." Her voice was soft, like a little girl's. "Please, can't I go out to the beach tomorrow? Mario and Gina would come with me.""Mario and Gina are Omeg

Chapter 66HOPE POV“I don’t care what he said,” I said, impatiently. “I am sick and tired of staying inside. The beach is out there calling my name.” I tried to get past Mario who was blocking the door to the hotel with his body. He looked terrified of me but I knew he was more afraid of Nicco, so he was doing what he could do to keep me in the room. I didn’t blame him, but it still made me mad.“Luna, we could watch a movie,” he suggested. I shrugged, sighed and acted like I was going to go back to the sitting area. He visibly relaxed and I took that opportunity to dart around him and dash into the hallway. “Sucker,” I heard Gina tease Mario behind me. I took off running for the elevator, giggling as Mario ran behind me, trying to reason with me. “Please, Luna Hope. Alpha is going to kill me,” he begged.“Tell him I forced you,” I suggested. I turned just in time to see him roll his eyes. “Just for that, I’m not coming back with you,” I said, jumping into the open eleva

Chapter 67HOPE POVI woke up with a start, not sure of what had awakened me. I was laying in the only private bed in the back of the plane with Nicco. I listened carefully and his breathing was still even. Whatever woke me up didn’t wake him.The only noises I could hear were the normal noises of the plane. There was no turbulence. So what had awakened me?I carefully rolled on to my back, trying not to waken Nicco. There was a moment when his breathing changed so I lay still until it went back to normal. Then I slipped out of the bed.I used the bathroom in the dark, not wanting to waken him. Something was still nagging at me. It was like I had forgotten something very important and my brain was trying to remind me.I sighed. I wasn’t going to go back to sleep anytime soon. I slipped out of the bedroom in the back and into the main part of the aircraft. Vinnie opened one eye and looked at me, going immediately back to sleep. Mario and Gina didn’t move.I reached up into

NICCOHope and I stayed up the rest of the flight, trying to figure out what the signature meant. She was the one who finally did. She had gone to the bathroom and had come back, her eyes tired. Before she sat down she stopped with a start and softly chuckled, staring at the paper.“We’ve been making this harder than we needed to,” she said.I looked at her in confusion. “Yeah? If you have figured it out, I’d like to know. It’s driving me crazy.” I was irritable. She grinned and took the pen from my hand, writing over the top of the random letters and numbers that we had been working on, transforming them into one word. BITE.“I’d guess the hacker is a wolf,” Hope said mildly. I looked at the word, my vision clouded. I knew who went by that name and I couldn’t believe it. Hope picked up on my fury.“Do you know who this is?” she asked.“No,” I lied. I didn’t need her to know until it was over. I was going to confront this wolf and find out everything. I would get my ans
