Chapter 121 -I am here–I tell her through the mind link. There is a rustling above me and she drops down from the tree, leaves in her hair and soot on my cheek. She stands, her eyes filled with tears and fear as she reaches for me. My human form

Chapter 120 Chapter 120 *Merikh* Warmth spreads over my face, a light misting of blood from the unfortunate wolf that is still being controlled by Lily’s shit spell. I know there are more coming, but I can’t help but pause and glance around, trying to determine where they will come

Chapter 119 Merikh’s thumb rubs up and down my hand as he holds it tight. The air is thick with tension, as if nature knows what to expect. There has not been a single tweet or chittering of forest animals since we set foot here. All life has run from

Chapter 118 *Colette* I lean back against Merikh’s warm bare chest, the water from the tub tinkling with the soft movement as he wraps his arms around me. My stomach flutters at his hold, his hand splaying across my water covered stomach, a soft stroking of his thumb right below

Chapter 117 Caspian enters the kitchen looking a little better than he had when he arrived. He rummages in the fridge looking for anything he can find to eat as I sit with a cup of warm tea, waiting for Colette to get back. “How are Hayes and his mate?”

Chapter 116 *Merikh* “Shit, Merikh.” Hayes exhales, dragging his hands through his hair. He turns to face me, his eyes tired and his shoulders slumped. I have asked too much of my brother, constantly leaving him at the helm of things without a thought of what weight I am laying

Chapter 115 Hayes paces the border, his hands in his pocket and his eyes up toward the sky. He is anxious, his inability to sit still and his erratic movements as he checks his watch and scans the forest are all telltale signs. And if that wasn’t enough to let

Chapter 114 *Colette* Percy’s hand steams, smoke rising at an alarming rate, a grimace forming on his face as Jennifer tries to transform. A bright orange orb bounces in her throat, as if her flame is trying to break free to take over, and Percy is the only thing keeping

Chapter 113 I don’t look behind me as I spin her and give her a rough shove forward. Even without my lycan, I can run and fast. It’s rare I am one to retreat. Shit, it’s hardly happened more than once or twice that I can recall, but now is

Chapter 112 We creep toward the main area of the pack, where I know we have at least a defense of some sort. Well, I hope. In theory, once we hit pack grounds, we should have been under the safety of my pack, but clearly, things are a little more

Chapter 111 *Merikh* I hold Colette close, knowing that the second we arrive there will be no time to be close to her. There is a very real probability the people we love will die. Not all of them, but some, and potentially one of us. The reality of that

Chapter 110 “Why do you have that phone?” Merikh grits out as he rushes toward the trees. Johannes puts his hand up in a display of surrender, but it does nothing to slow the raging lycan within. “It’s not what you assume,” He says as I rush after my mate

Chapter 109 *Colette* Silence falls over us as we wait anxiously for Merikh to explain what he means. It is clear as day to me he is still feeling awful, but he puts on a brave face, like always. I watch my mother as she gives him an encouraging nod

Chapter 108 *Merikh* My neck throbs in pain as I frown at Ezrah. This is someone I trust, someone I considered to be a friend or at least friendly, even when the council refused to be that way with me. But Colette is right to question him and where his

Chapter 107 I pace the old wooden porch of the small cabin we have been staying in. Well, where I have been sleeping and Mom, Merikh and Calvin have been living. Guilt runs rampant in my mind, tearing apart a decision I have made in the last near week. Should

Chapter 106 Ezrah brought her here? I wonder as I whirl around, searching the trees and shoreline for the messenger who is always everywhere, always in everyone’s business. Caspian stands with Zale, the two of them carrying my enormous lycan mate up onto a less sandy part of the beach.

Chapter 105 *Colette* “We need to get him to Calvin.” My mom says, trying hard to remain treading water. “But that vampire won’t leave the shore.” I scowl at the bitch who started it all. The one who broke my mate and made our relationship so hard. The one that

Chapter 104 Chapter104 “Hey baby,” Lauren says with a sly, seductive grin. 14% “What do you want?” I ask her, and she stops, sighing heavily as she places her hand on herwaist. “What? No, I’ve missed you. How was death?” She asks in a snarky tone. I lick my lips

Chapter 103 Chapter103 It’sbeen days now, and with every a stronger, more confident Colette. sunrise come She wakes before the sun, barely eats play with the water. Not that and then she is off to I am bitter. I get to hold her as she snores all night long, watching

Chapter 102 *Merikh* “How is she looking?” Melody asks me. My heart is in my throat watching her swim, afraid she will love this world better than the one she lives in with me. Could I handle it if she told me she longs for the sea? Would I regret
