A switch had flipped in Kade as I uttered those words, and his emotions barreled into me at full force. It was Alec’s hands that kept me centered, and Kade’s touch that calmed my mind. The bond wasn’t complete yet, not without them marking me in return. Even with the half-way connection between us, I was feeling their lust and desire as though they were amplifications of my own.I was practically humming with energy, with the link that connected the three of us. I could feel it all around me, buzzing like a million electrified bees. With Alec sheathed inside of me, and Kade palming my breasts, I couldn’t think of anything more fulfilling than this. The threat of what would come had vanished from my mind, unable to live another second when the twins were showering me with their attention.“This is—overwhelming.” I gasped as Kade pinched my nipple and slid the throbbing length of him against my core. He brushed it against my swol

Feeling Kade’s arctic rage and seeing his muscles bunch and tense, I leapt into action. Alec was much better at concealing his murderous appetite, fixing a disinterested look on his face. I pushed myself between the twins, stepping towards the open front door. Zayne’s eyes tracked my movements like he expected me to bolt. I suppressed the look of irritation that threatened to form on my face and gave him a disinterested look of my own. Men like Zayne, they clearly had an inflated sense of self-worth, much like Garrett. “Come in, but make it quick.” I replied haughtily, my arms crossed over my chest. I’m sure I wasn’t the most intimidating she-wolf, standing at least a foot and a half beneath Zayne. On the bright side, what I lacked in appearance, I made up for in power. Zayne’s face was hard, schooled in what I was sure was his threatening look. His emotions told the truth, and he couldn’t even begin to hide them from me. He wasn’t afraid; no, he was

I completely forbade myself from thinking about Zayne Novak until tomorrow, just as we planned to leave for the High Table meeting. I’d spend the rest of today and tonight with my twins, refusing to give Zayne another second of my time.Garrett and Julian were now set on the task of contacting their sources regarding what a ‘Soul Eater’ might be, and how it connects to my abilities. We could only hope the information about what I was did not spread, as their sources might not be willing to give information if they believed a neighboring pack had a weapon primed and ready.“I don’t know about you two, but I’m not letting this ruin my day.” Alec smirked as we trekked through the woods.From what I could tell, we were in the middle of absolute nowhere. We left out the back door and walked through the thickest part of the forest, leaving behind the sparkling lake and its tantalizing waters.The hike wasn’t that

Our relaxing weekend came to an abrupt halt just a few hours later. We were up at the crack of dawn, preparing for the trip. The twins had planned ahead, and already had a suitcase packed for each of us. Alec had this uncanny ability to pop right out of bed and head for the shower. Kade trudged down to the kitchen on my heels, following the scent of caffeine. Two cups later, I no longer felt so cold and bleary. I left Kade in the kitchen to finish his own, and joined Alec in the shower. “You nervous, doll?” Alec asked me, kneading the shampoo into my scalp while I leaned helplessly against him. “Mm, just a bit.” I replied, sighing when he stopped to let me rinse. My throat clenched momentarily, the words heavy. “I don’t want anyone dying for me.” Alec knew what I was talking about. They had also thought of the worst possible outcomes and what they might mean for us. War was a very strong possibility. “I think it’s more than that now. It’s not only

Tori sounded frantic, and if her rapid knocks were any indicator—something had happened. The twin’s and I were out of bed in an instant, shoving on any article of clothing we could. Perhaps there was a downside to sleeping naked.I wrenched the door open once the twins had at least put shorts on. Tori stormed in, her fiery locks an absolute mess and her eyes wild. I was still in the process of putting on my own shirt, forgoing a bra completely.“What?” I stammered, grabbing onto Tori with gentle hands. I searched her eyes for answers but found only fear and questions. “What happened?”Tori shook of the fear that warped her insides, much like I thought she would. She squared her shoulders, and let out a shaky breath before composing herself.“I planned to go down a floor for some ice, figured it wouldn’t hurt because all of the guards posted and what not.” Tori let the words out in a rush, and gave Kade

“Fuck, we’re five hours from the hotel and even farther from the High Table.” Kade hissed under his breath, quickly shoving a handful of waters into our small cart.If it weren’t for the weight of everything looming down on me, this moment would’ve been hilarious.We had woken up completely naked, as all werewolves do when they shift back into human form. We had trudged through the woods for an hour before finding an actual paved road—with actual street signs. Hiking through the forest, completely naked—it’s not something I’d do again given the option. Half an hour later, we found the only full-functioning store in this little town.Apart from the faded lettering, “Mini Mart” on the sign at the front of the parking lot, there was no other indicator of what this place might be. I was expecting a gas station, but was surprised to see people emerging from the store with carts full of groceries and ot

I was seeing red in an instant, unable to hear anything past the blood rushing to my ears. My ability gave me insight into the strong emotions of our wolves. They felt things just like we did, though their reactions could vary tremendously. I had never felt my own wolfs anger in this way. Perhaps I had felt it during the battle, but there was too much commotion for me to truly taste the emotion in its prime. I wasn’t sure when I had stood up from my seat in front of the vanity in the room, but I was horribly hot and itchy, my skin uncomfortable and much too tight. When the towel fell from my body, it did nothing to cool me down.I could see the twin’s mom back out of the room, shutting the door quickly behind her. I didn’t have the time or need to care. I was too busy connecting the dots in my head, the dots that would lead Zayne Novak and his father to an early grave. Zayne had made it fairly clear his father keeps white wolves for their abilities; whether or not

The hour after my somewhat feral sex with Kade had gone by in an instant. His mom was back ten minutes later, fixing my hair and ignoring what had clearly gone on between me and her son. She put a light coating of make-up on my face, darkening my large eyes and making the two different colors more pronounced. The meeting before the High Table meeting wasn’t a formal event—it was more like business than anything else. Assessing potential enemies, seeking out weaker Alpha’s, and generally causing havoc for most of the lower ranked werewolves. Kade’s mom helped me into a slate grey dress, zipping up the low-neck back in a smooth motion. The dress reached my knees and was tight around my curves. It showed just enough cleavage to look classy, and brought out the silver tones in my one blue eye. It was best everyone viewed me as a capable adult, and not an emotional teenager. They needed to believe I wouldn’t use my abilities recklessly, or for my own vengeance. I

“Explain that again.” I deadpanned, the tears that burned in my eyes turned to acid.“It’s exactly what it sounds like.” Tori swallowed heavily, taking another chug from her second glass of water.Other than severe dehydration and low blood sugar, Tori was virtually unharmed. Her biggest injury was the bump on her forehead, and that was from her tumble when the gas had spewed into the room.She was incredibly lucky, especially considering the sudden influx of white wolf kidnappings over the last fifteen years. The High Table had been hiding it for quite some time, but it was surprising what Kade could find out when motivated by the kidnapping of his twin.While I was beyond elated that she was alive, there were a few things I was struggling to come to terms with. She had little to no information about where her and Alec had been taken. They had both passed out from the gas, and by the time Tori had awoken, Alec was gone

I hadn’t really known the twin’s all that long, around six months if you wanted to be more accurate. We bonded quickly, though it was much longer for werewolf standards. The bond helped us all feel familiar and comfortable around one another, but there were still things I didn’t know about my dashing mates.One of those things was how truly terrifying Kade was when in a murderous rage.I had seen him on the battlefield, though my attention was horribly divided between him and his injured brother. I had seen him move in wolf form, but there was something sickeningly attractive about watching Kade move in his human body.Kade raced forward, much faster than Tori or I could intercept and barreled into Zayne. Even in a suit, he was much faster than I would’ve anticipated.Unfortunately, Kade was faster.“Kade, don’t!”My mouth clamped shut as Tori’s heightened voice rang out, practically drowned by
