MITCH CHESTER HE SNIFFED THE little stick again to be sure and he confirmed that it was Mountain Ashwood. He took one last sweeping glance at the space around him before he made his way back and out of the tunnel. Holding the stick in his mouth, he bounded down the mountain in long leaps. The storm was heavier on his way back, with wind so heavy that they uprooted some trees and flung them around.Mitch did not pay any attention to the harsh weather, rough terrain, and low visibility. He did not bother to stop for his clothes and gear which he buried beside a tree. He got to the foot of the mountain after another hour.The border was empty. Many people had retired for the night. "Draco," He mindlinked. "My office. Now.""On it," came the immediate reply.He made his way to the palace without coming in contact with anybody. Well, they all knew that their king was a Lycan, but still, he didn't like to shift in their midst unnecessarily.His guards stood to attention as soon they saw hi

ANNA KYLIN CHESTER I WALKED INTO the packhouse and headed straight for the office. It had not changed location since I lived here. I knocked once and then entered.Rick was standing behind his desk, he was smiling sweetly at me which only irked me. He held out the phone and said, "A call for you,"Frowning in confusion, I took the phone and placed it to my ear. "Doctor Anna Chester," I said into the call, noticing that I had used Mitch's surname."Doctor Anna?" A scratchy voice said. "It's Doctor Phil... we worked together in, uh, Edmonton."Edmonton was the province where the Moon Stone pack was located. "Oh, Doctor Phil, Hi." I greeted amicably.He heaved a sigh of relief. "I wasn't sure you were going to remember me..." he said. "You left all of a sudden."I eyed Rick as I replied, "It was an uncontrollable circumstance. How are things over there? I take it that you are calling me about the progress you've made..."I could hear him grinning. "Yes, Doctor. We used the technique and

MITCH CHESTĺERHE DROVE STRAIGHT to the mall. He had built it 5 years ago under an anonymous identity. He parked in the parking lot and stepped out, wondering why he had not brought his children here before. He walked in with confident strides into the mall. It was not as busy as it should. Maybe it was because this was still morning... and it was school season.He looked around and headed for the administration suite upstairs. The receptionist was a petite, young lady. She came around the table when she saw him step out of the elevator."Sorry, sir," she said. "The manager isn't currently taking any visitors.""I'll wait," Mitch said easily. She clearly didn't know who he was.She looked towards the office indecisively and bit her lips. "Okay, sir. You can wait, let me tell him that he has a visitor.""Do that," Mitch nodded, unbuttoning his jacket and making himself comfortable on the chair.The secretary knocked timidly on the manager's office and poked her head in. "Mr Leeds, you

ANNA KYLIN CHESTER I SPENT MOST of the day in the lab, I wanted to get this over and done as quickly as possible. I had not known what to expect when I was planning on coming back here, but it was not a bitter sister and an ex-husband who still wanted to fuck me. He literally undressed me with his eyes anytime he saw me. Not to talk of the imminent threats that he had posed to my children. I didn't know how the time flew by until my neck started aching. I stretched and pushed aside the blinds to glance outside. I was shocked to see how dark everywhere had become.I cracked my neck and stepped out of the lab, making sure to lock it and secure the keycard in my bag. It had taken us most of the morning to gather the pack members to take another sample of their blood, and more hours for grouping. Now, I was in the process of introducing the virus to some samples and seeing the reaction. Luckily, these steps didn't take as much as they normally would, because I had done it before.The h

ANNA KYLIN CHESTER WHEN I ENTERED my suite at the inn, I had an array of food waiting for me on a tray. Shocked, I slowly unveiled each of them, it was like a mini feast.I dropped my bag on the couch as Reine came in from a back room. "You are home, Luna." She bowed. "Welcome.""You did all these?" I asked.She nodded shyly. "I'm sorry I could not send your lunch to you. The Alpha's mate made sure to keep me busy."I frowned. "You didn't have to come in and prepare a 4-course meal for me." I noticed that she started to feel sad, so I touched her arm and said, "But thank you. I really appreciate your gesture, okay?"She brightened up and nodded, "Let me take your bag in, and get a bath running for you." I sat down and eased my foot from my shoes, sighing in relief as I reached behind me and unhooked my bra. Those things had been digging into my back throughout today.I reached for the tray and picked a slice of what looked like chips but tasted like fish. It was very delicious. "Mm
