Ashleigh quickly opened her door, hopping out of the car. “Granger?” she called out to him. A lilt in her voice expressed her confusion at his presence. He smiled at her, rushing to her side and wrapping his arms around her waist. Then he lifted her into the air, eliciting an involuntary squeal from her lips. Finally, he spun her around with a laugh. “What are you—mmf!” Ashleigh started to ask as he lowered her to the ground, her words quickly smothered by his mouth covering hers. He pulled…

“I don’t know why I bothered to share any of this with you,” he sighed softly. “Look, the point is simple, I was in the mountains for almost two weeks. When I finally got back, Alpha Wyatt was waiting for me. As angry and hurt as I had been, when he put his hand on my shoulder and told me I had done good. I felt grateful.” Ashleigh wiped the tears from her eyes that she had been trying to hide. She turned back to Caleb now, hearing something change in his voice. “I spent the next two months…

“Twelve years ago, I was sent to Winter for three months to understand how to protect my people in a place I wasn’t familiar with or comfortable.” Caleb began, he leaned back against the table. “When I arrived, I met Alpha Wyatt. He greeted me, took me into his home, and fed me. He took me to a small cabin in the forest where I stayed for a week. Each day he would come early in the morning, and we would train together until late at night.” Ashleigh tried to think back to see if she remembered…

For the second time in twenty four hours Caleb had no idea why he was suddenly being yelled at, but this time he wasn’t prepared to simply let it go. “What is your problem?!” he shouted back at her. “What the hell could I have possibly done to offend you, and apparently, your entire pack?” Ashleigh scoffed at him once more. “You mock my traditions like they are nothing!” “They make no sense!” he shouted in frustration. “You are a warrior, I am trying to give you a weapon, a tool…

‘Then reject her.’ Galen’s words continued to echo in Caleb’s mind the next morning. Caleb hadn’t followed his friend, he needed time, they both did. But as he sat at his desk, staring at the brand-new laptop that had appeared overnight. Those words just kept repeating. He sat back in his chair with a heavy sigh. If he rejected her, and she accepted the rejection, their bond would be severed. They would feel the loss and potentially get sick for a time. But because they had not marked each…

After sharing the memory, Galen had finally ushered Caleb over to the couch where he currently sat with his head in his hands. It had been ten minutes since either of them had said a word. “Caleb,” Galen began, “they don’t know who she is. They can’t understand your reasoning.” Caleb raised his eyes to look at his friend. “Do you also think I am being dishonorable?” Caleb asked quietly. “Well, I—” “No, wait” Caleb corrected himself, “you think I am ‘some kind of tour…

After his conversation with Alice, Galen had done several things. The first was instructing the security systems team to run every cleaning program they could think of on all their systems. He was sure Alice had given him a clue when she mentioned the bug in his system. He also sent a team of security guards throughout the entire facility to check for physical connections or devices. Just in case. While he was implementing his extermination plan, he also discreetly tried to find the basis of the gossip…

For the first week they had trained together every day, they had competed and learned from each other. Ashleigh thought they had moved past all the awkwardness and had even built a friendship of sorts. But suddenly everything changed, four days earlier, the same day she had met Caleb’s mother by accident. Since that day, everything seemed different between them. Caleb had canceled sessions. He had brought in Galen to replace him or sometimes the other representatives. He rarely showed up to their…

Since Caleb had cancelled the sparring session for the morning, Ashleigh was left unsure of what she should do. Exploring the facilities had left her with lingering questions and frustrations about the differences between Summer and Winter. She could go train in the obstacle courses, except the other wolves training in the area would give her nasty looks or talk about her as though she didn’t have great hearing. Ashleigh had a thick skin, but even she could only take so much. She found herself back in…

Caleb was tired. Everything ached his skin, his lungs, his eyes. His whole body felt as though it were burning. Desperate gasps for air, whimpers of pain. His heartbeat was pounding like a drum in his ears. Sweat covered him. He dropped to his knees unable to keep standing, the chains burning away at his wrists and ankles. He gritted his teeth through the pain and closed his blurry eyes. Her scent hit him suddenly; her heartbeat joined with his in the echoing chambers of his ears. He felt her close…
