“Your mom?” he asked. “Was she a doctor too?” Bell nodded. “She must be proud of you, taking after her.” Galen smiled warmly. Bell looked away. “She was the first doctor I trained under,” she smiled. “From the time I was ten, I started going to the clinic with her and training every day. I was performing basic procedures on my own by thirteen.” “That’s impressive.” Galen grinned slightly as he tried to imagine her at that age. “It was necessary,” Bell replied…

Galen felt the warmth of her breath on his lips, sending a ripple of pleasure and anticipation through his entire being. Her seductive voice danced in his ears and played like music down, creating a rhythm in his body until his pants began to feel a little too tight. A soft blush crept over him, beginning at his throat, and spreading to the tip of his ears. He quickly ducked his head out of her arms and pushed himself off the desk. Throwing his body back against the opposite wall. A good three feet of…

When Caleb had left, Galen had made three promises. The first was to fulfill his duty as a representative of Summer. The second was to watch over Ashleigh. The third was a request Caleb had made almost literally as he drove away. “There is one more thing that I need you to do while you are here,” Caleb said as he climbed into the car. “Name it,” Galen said. “You need to find out everything you can about the wolfsbane. When it was used, how much, how many casualties, how they were treated.…

“That is not what I said!” Ashleigh shouted angrily. She was surprised by her own voice. “Didn’t you?” Granger asked coldly. “No, Granger,” she stated clearly, “I didn’t.” “How else am I supposed to take it?” he asked. “Exactly how I meant it!” she answered, “The Goddess made a mistake! There is no record of another wolf having two mates; it’s a mistake.” “Or Caleb is using dark magic against Winter.” Ashleigh growled in frustration. She wanted to be patient…

Granger awoke with a pounding in his head and a heaviness in his body. He was sluggish and dizzy. The dark honey mead was even more potent than the normal one. He could remember three empty glasses and one glass of dark honey. Other than that, he wasn’t sure what he had been up to the night before. He sat up as his alarm blared in his head louder than it should. He needed to wake up. This morning, he was due to begin the long-range lessons at the training grounds. Grabbing his towel, Granger made his…

Ashleigh glanced over her shoulder as she was led back towards her house, but it was already too far away. All she could see was her mother’s back. Her friends asked question after question about Spring and Summer. Granger answered what he could, but Ashleigh was distracted. “What about you, Ashleigh? What did you see of Summer?” Renee asked brightly. “I mostly just trained.” Ashleigh smiled, trying to push away the memories of running through the trees, Caleb’s secret treehouse, and the…

Before returning to the cabin he shared with Caleb, Galen had stopped by the car looking for some of the road snacks Fiona had entrusted him with. He was disappointed to find he had already devoured all the chocolate Pocky. Seeing one package of the strawberry flavor left, he smiled and went on his way, whistling once more. He stopped whistling as he approached the door and tried to put a neutral expression on his face. Then, quickly chewing up the last two Pocky sticks before reaching for the handle. He…

Caleb’s jaw clenched so tightly he felt his teeth begin to grind. He inhaled deeply through his nose, his hands reflexively curling into fists ‘Go away,’ he growled internally, wondering how much patience he had left for the rat blocking his path. “I don’t have any business with you,” he managed to say, exhaling the calming breath he had taken in. “Well,” Granger snapped back, “I do have business with you.” An angry smirk on his face. Caleb let out a low growl. Granger did the…

A bottomless pit opened in her stomach; out of it, an icy wave of panic covered her entire being. Ashleigh felt herself take a shaky step back from him. She tried to swallow, but her throat suddenly became as dry as a desert. She stared back at him with her eyes wide, hoping that she had misheard him. ‘Why did you leave me on the night of the full moon.’ His words bounced around in her mind repeating themselves in a haunting chorus. ‘No…no… he doesn’t remember…’ she thought to herself,…

“Why don’t we head back to the cabin? You get a hot shower while I make you something to eat before bed.” Granger smiled down at her. “That does sound good,” Ashleigh replied, “but I did come out to get some fresh air. I’m not very tired. I slept most of the way here.” Granger looked around. “It’s kinda late, Ash,” he said quietly. “I know, but I’m just going to go for a quick run, just to shake the day away.” “A run?” he asked. “Yea.” “You’re going to…
