“I thought you said this was the easy part?” Ashleigh sighed into the phone. “It should have been!” Clara replied in her defense. “Most people don’t lock down basic memory cards like Fort Knox!” “It doesn’t make sense….” Ashleigh said. “He was worried about someone getting ahold of it, so he had to have believed there was a way to get the files open without his passwords.” “Well… it’s possible it doesn’t need his passwords,” Clara said. “You literally just said…

Ashleigh felt an anvil drop in her stomach, her throat was as dry as any desert, and her heart seemed to have decided that it was tired of remaining inside of her chest. “The…the Alpha of… of Autumn?” Ashleigh struggled to form the words. “Alpha Tomas… why, why would you think he had the answers?” Fiona looked at Ashleigh with care, she tilted her head to the side and smiled. “Beat me.” “What?” Ashleigh asked. “You want to know about Cain and Tomas?” Fiona asked. Ashleigh…

“I expected more from you,” Fiona’s voice emanated her profound disappointment. As she held her boot firmly against Ashleigh’s windpipe. As she eased the pressure on her throat, allowing Ashleigh to breathe once more through gasping coughs, Fiona shook her head. Then, she removed her foot entirely and left Ashleigh lying in the dirt. Ashleigh grabbed at her throat as her lungs began to settle down, no longer afraid they would never again feel the air filling them. She watched as Fiona walked…

For seven straight days, they had played this game. For seven straight days, Ashleigh had lost. Normally, Ashleigh wouldn’t have minded these games, sure, she hated losing, but the game itself was quite fun. Capture the flag with more realistic consequences. There was no permanent damage, all injuries were immediately addressed by a physician in the arena, and really all anyone was left with were aches and maybe some bruising. But during the battle, it was all very real. Ashleigh’s goal was to reach…

Ashleigh was down on one knee taking deep breaths as she tried to calm her lungs while making sure she stayed out of sight. She hadn’t expected that last attack. Ashleigh had found a place high in the trees to observe the wolves that were trying to sneak up on her, she had a perfect vantage and was preparing to launch her assault. When suddenly, a pressure on her back sent her flying from the tree. She had barely managed to correct her fall before she landed hard on the ground. Her legs were shaky…

With Galen still in Winter for another week, Caleb was even busier than usual. After their date, he and Ashleigh were only able to spend a few minutes together each day. Just enough time to say hello and then goodbye again. But today, he didn’t even get to have that. He had been in meetings and conferences since before the sun was in the sky. It was almost down again, and he had just gotten a free moment. He knew Ashleigh was at the training grounds, but she had explicitly asked him to stay away…

Once Ashleigh was settled into her room, she joined Caleb for dinner at the restaurant she had no idea existed until that evening. “This is one of three,” Caleb said as they sat at their table. “One is a deli, it’s between the medical and science sectors. The other is more of a buffet style place near the training grounds.” “That makes sense,” Ashleigh replied. “The medical and science wolves are likely more interested in the speed a deli offers so they can return to their research. While…

On Ashleigh’s return to Summer, she had expected to see Caleb, Clara, and possibly even Fiona waiting to greet her. What she had not expected to see, was a small gathering of at least fifty. As she came around the car, she looked on with confusion at the people who smiled and waved at her with delight. She waved back of course, but it didn’t change her lack of understanding. “Ashleigh,” a voice called. Ashleigh was happy to see the owner of the voice, Miss Stacey. “Miss Stacey, how nice to…

As soon as the door was closed, Bell fell back against it. She took several deep breaths slowly through her nose to keep her heartbeat even. Then, she squeezed her hand into a fist, her nails digging painfully into her palm. ‘Breathe…’ she thought to herself. ‘Breathe…’ The panic was settling. She pushed herself off the door and moved to the counter, leaning on her hands against the cold surface. Bell lifted her gaze to the mirror. The look in her eyes was frightened and…

Galen snarled. He reached behind her, slamming the door closed and quickly pinning her against it. He bent his head, placing his mouth on her shoulder. So, near the placed she had already been marked, she almost flinched at the thought. He ran his tongue gently over the small scar he had noticed after she told him about her mate. He kissed it gently. “Then you won’t blame me?” Galen asked, his hot breath tickling against her skin. “For what?” she whispered. Galen turned her chin, forcing her…
