"This formula has a high nutrient and electrolyte content." Grace held up a bag of creamy, light-caramel colored substance for me to see. "It will deliver the nourishment Hycinth's body needs to maintain her own health and that of the young pup."

"Okay," I murmured.

"Before and after feeding, we need to flush the line." Grace attached a small vial of clear liquid to the tubing and pressed down on the plunger.

My Wolf's and my attention was riveted to Grace's every move as she then unscrewed the empty vial and deftly attached the bag of nutrition. We memorized the procedure so that we could re-create it when the time came.

Grace hooked the bag to Hycinth's IV pole. She pointed to a small plastic piece on the tubing. "The nutrition is being fed via gravity but the flow rate is controlled by this clamp. It has six adjustable positions."

"How frequently do I feed her?" I asked.

"We'll go slowly to start. We don't want to overload her currently empty gastric system," Grace responded. "Thin

    LeanderGrace gently moved the sheet and light blanket, recovering Hycinth's lower body. With a quick glance at the pump that was pushing much needed nutrition into Hycinth's frail body, her careful brown eyes assessed the steadily dripping feeding tube for a moment. Satisfied with the performance of the medical apparatus, Grace turned back to me. "That's it for now.""Okay." I hadn't forgotten about Luca waiting outside. Once again, I took a minute to focus on my Wolf's emotional stability. The last thing I needed was for him to erupt in a protective violent outburst at the presence of another male this close to our mate.He felt my inquiry into his mind. All was calm, his thoughts somber as he replied, "Bring him in."I exhaled in relief but was also surprised to hear a small amount of hope in his thoughts. Not only was the animal in control of his baser reflexes, but he was ready to try anything, including bringing in a non-blood-related male if it meant there was any chance Hycint

    LeanderLuca raised his head. Tortured green eyes searched mine. "What did you mean when you said her Wolf was g-gone?"I blinked, unsure how to answer. He didn't know? The horrifying loss of Hycinth's Wolf had been immediately obvious to me but clearly he hadn't detected her animal's absence, and Hycinth must not have told him.Mouth opening and closing, I tried to speak, but my heart constricted. Every fiber in my being rejected the words that were just too painful to say."No..." Luca whispered, dreaded coloring his tone as he interpreted the raw agony he saw transfixed on my face.Pain-filled silence lingered between us. As much as he was able to correctly read my expression, I understood his. Shock. Anguish. Fear. He waited for me to speak, desperate for me to correct his wrong assumption. But I couldn't. I just shook my head."She can't be gone. She can't," he insisted.When I remained silent, his shoulders slumped in defeat. "I knew her Wolf hadn't spoken much...but not gone. H

    LeanderA sudden northeastern gust of wind rustled through the trees, causing several russet-colored leaves to lose their already tenuous hold on the branches above us and flutter to the ground. Autumn had settled in since Hycinth had left me. Three long months. More than half of her pregnancy. The thought was staggering.Ever's head came up, his astute gaze automatically scanning the horizon."But I don't think so," Luca murmured quietly."What do you mean?""After Oracle Memoree visited us and we finally knew the truth, in all of its ugly glory," he flinched, green eyes losing focus for a moment before continuing, "the plan was to contact you...figure a way to reach out as soon as I returned from our old pack. Hycinth wasn't in great shape...she didn't think you or the pack would want her back...but she wanted to try.""The pack?" I raised an eyebrow. "Why would Hycinth think the pack wouldn't want her back?"Luca's shoulders pulled back, his tone clearly communicating his personal

    "I know," he replied, "and I'm sorry to put you through this again, but I need to know...what her body went through."I studied his expression.He explained softly, "I can't help her if I don't know.""Okay." I ran a hand roughly through my already disheveled hair as I pulled back images I never wanted to think about again. "From the glimpse I saw into her mind and confirmation from those in the room, I think only two penetrated her vaginally but her wounds indicate her bottom was also violated, probably with claws."Luca's brows went up. "You could see that...in her mind?""Yes," I ground out through my teeth. In my head, my Wolf snarled furiously at the memories. "Thankfully, it appeared Hycinth was unconscious, at least during the time those two bastards defiled her.""What else?""The bruises and wounds on her body were too many to count. She had several spinal breaks that we could feel, likely incurred from multiple kicks due to the massive boot prints left behind on her back, bu

    LEANDER'S POV"Leander," Grace's thoughts drifted through the pack mind link we shared. "Hycinth needs your attention."Instantly, I rose to my feet.Startled by my abrupt change in position, Ever lurched to his feet, chest puffed out, ready for a fight.I expected Ever's reaction, but what surprised me was Luca's similar response. Certainly lacking of any decent Alpha experience he could trust, betrayed by the one male he thought loved him the most, I wouldn't have begrudged Luca's reluctance to blindly follow another Alpha so quickly, especially me. But there was no hesitancy in his response as he stood ready, hands out, naturally aligning himself to Ever's body to provide me with optimal cover."Sorry," I muttered as I walked away toward the lakeside cabin. I hadn't meant to alarm them. No further words were necessary. I felt their heightened emotions calm.Breaching the entryway, I watched Sydney gently release Hycinth's hand, lean forward and place a barely-there kiss on her fore

    The cabin door opened just wide enough for Sydney to slip inside. Cool blue eyes flickering to take in the scene around her, Sydney naturally settled into the chair across the room and waited for me to speak.Not wanting to risk stressing Hycinth, I continued to use the mind link, "I need you to stay with her tomorrow night."Sydney nodded, no break in her stoic expression, ever diligent to her duties. But I knew her better than that. The slightest twitch of pain in her eyes didn't escape my attention, revealing her struggle just as all of us mourned such a heavy loss."I don't know how... I'm going to leave her, "I murmured, getting to the heart of the matter.It was Sydney's turn to read my expression, to hear all of the words I'd left unsaid, just as I knew she would. She couldn't repair my stress but immediately, the Delta in her began to plan, "For those hours, we could increase the Sentinels in number and tighten the perimeter around the cabin. Additionally, the bikers-""Bikers

    Leander"No!" Hycinth's scream pierced the darkness.Instantly awake, every particle in my body felt like it had been lit on fire. "What is it, love? What's wrong?"Little fists pummeled my chest. Her frail body thrashed in the bed next to me. "Don't touch me!"Still snared by unconsciousness, it was clear the battle was in her mind.Primal instinct drove me forward. I had no intention of letting her fight this adversary alone. Without thought, I blew our partial mate bond. wide open and delved into her subconscious. For a moment, I was disoriented by the chaos in her head. Stark fear swirled amidst nightmare images-darkness stained with slashes of red, so much blood. No concern for her own welfare, but desperately fighting for the precious innocent she carried in her belly."It's okay, you're safe!" I whispered urgently while trying to contain her flailing limbs without hurting her.Torment all-consuming, she couldn't hear me. Continuing to fight her imaginary foe, she violently wres

    Leander's povShort beams of moonlight descended from above, intermittent strokes of luminosity breaking through the dense forest canopy as we ran. We didn't need the light. Wolf vision provided striking clarity of the landscape in almost absolute darkness, but even without such a gift, we probably would have been able to successfully navigate the terrain blindfolded. Each of us knew these woods like the back of our hands.Within minutes, the dimness of the forest gave way, revealing a soft glow twenty feet ahead. Not much farther now. My gait slowed, legs feeling heavier with every step. I hated losing wolves. It never got any easier to say goodbye.Finally crossing the tree line, I stepped out into the clearing and stopped. The drums fell silent.To my right stood four unmistakable structures. Meticulously prepared, each fallen Wolf had been anointed with spices and dressed in noble tribal fare. Six feet off the ground, bodies cradled in suspense by an intricately woven labyrinth of

    Blow after blow, I wounded him, bruised him and released the ball of anger I had been holding back for days. I wasn't entirely furious over Noah for coming here and taking his revenge. It was also about all the rage I had been storing since I arrived here, all of the emotions I had to go through, the pain and the sadness. Finally, I had the chance to release it and I wasn't going to waste my chance.I fought with Noah for as long as I could. He fought back, bruising me, biting me and wounding me. Every time I got hurt, the anger just grew.While the music played inside the ballroom and the people danced, I battled with Noah outside in the parking lot, tossing myself here and there, feeding my anger, my own hunger for blood and death.I laid on the ground, my left eye burning as it was nearly busted. My back was against the ground and I flickered my eyes open and shut, I gazed at the starry sky above me while breathing heavily and remaining conscious. The taste of metal appeared in my

    "Missed you in the city. Wondered where you ran off to."I snorted at him while the impulse to claw him out of this place grew stronger within me. "What are you doing here, Noah?" I asked, my jaw clenched and my hands twisting into fists.I had met him a few times, he was always in the shadows, watching me while I killed his and Cade's men. He took the information to his Alpha every time like a submissive Beta.I surely couldn't harm him here, in a middle of an event where my own mate was present along with other Alpha's but I couldn't resist the urge either.He folded his arms across his chest while the corners of his mouth turned into a corrupt smile. "Sudden disappearance and the sudden death of my Alpha, Cade. Something's suspicious. I know you killed him.""I did not." I hissed at him."I know you didn't but your mate did and I'm here to take my revenge," He grinned, rocking his muscular body back and forth. I moved closer to him while anger rocketed through my veins. He rose his

    The burgundy strappy dress flowed down just above my knees. It wasn't revealing but it snitched on the right places and seemed perfect. After getting all ready, I descended from the steps to meet with Leander who had been bothering me for the past hour to leave the room without getting my hair done.I didn't listen to him. Not once.His gaze met with mine and crashed. His eyes quickly spread, roaming over my body. It had been a long while since he had seen me dress up."You wish you fucked this." I stated, rolling my eyes and rushing closer to the door.His loss.His lips parted and his mouth remained open for the next couple seconds at my words. I had been irritated since yesterday, since he had rejected me and my advances and hadn't given me enough information to believe him that he still loved me."Let's go. Aren't we getting late?" I asked, snapping him back to reality and forcing his eyes to level with mine instead of my ass that barely went in through the dress.The hunger was v

  • Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha   Hiding something from me

    "I killed him," I mumbled before rolling the pages and turning around to the next page. The silence was thick when I told Leander who I had killed. Meeting with his eyes, I quickly added, "He wasn't a good guy, someone told me that he once saw him with Sydney and secondly he had molested quite a few women around the pack. I wasn't comfortable in living with a rapist and my motherly instincts were acting up, therefore, the need to kill.""You created a whole mess." He sighed and then shook his head in disappointment. His eyes lowered to the next image of a young, teenage boy. "What about him?""No, I didn't kill him!" I said, speaking the truth.Over the past hour, we had gone through different deaths that happened in the pack under Cade's ruling while I was living there. I managed to find most of the men I had killed out of anger and spite but the rest murders weren't on me."Are you sure?""He's a young, teenage boy. I wouldn't kill him and he didn’t know anything about Sydney's whe

    Leander's office at the building was larger than I had thought. He really changed a lot in his pack in my absence. Most of the furniture and the walls in his office were a shade of wooden brown. The color scheme was enticing for me. It gave me a sense that only work went down here and nothing more."You can sign here." He said, slipping the papers forward while standing on the other end of the desk.I grabbed a pen off the thick wooden table and quickly spread my ink over the papers. Once the ink was dry, my title in this pack was going to be changed. Just as I finished signing, I raised my head to glance at Leander who seemed a bit distraught at what I had forced him to do."I'm your mate. You should've thought about this long ago and you shouldn't have kept a female as your Beta." I stared at him in disbelief.He nodded his head, "And I apologized for that, Hycinth." He spoke while slipping the papers back to him as he had enough for me, at least for one day.It was the next mornin

    Bury his dick?!I swallowed hard while Leander caught my gaze. He slipped a hand behind my hair, tracing his fingers across my lower neck till desire fueled itself inside me.Leaning forward, he placed his lips on mine, a gentle kiss that lasted for long. Our tongues fought and our breaths became uneven. My heart thumped hard in my chest while he pushed me further back till the wall was pressed against my back.I pressed my eyes shut, exploring his mouth while he did the same. There was something different in the kiss -it was much more passionate and true than it had ever been.Leander kissed me with need as if he had been craving for my mouth for a very long time. I didn't hold back. I ran my hands down his muscular body, feeling every inch of his skin as he towered over me.I curled my fingers around the elastic of his pants, reaching further, wanting what I always needed. The electricity was there, it wasn't yet gone.Breathing heavily, I broke the kiss and our lips parted for a mo

    I reached home by a cab and poured a drink for myself while leaning over the counter. I kept my legs closed for a whole year, I barely made contact with men unless I was killing them, I never found anyone attractive as I was devoted to Leander and now, after learning that he clearly wasn't, I was devastated.My head whipped around at the sound of shoes thumping down the stairs. Looking up, I found Gwen coming toward me."How did the shopping go? Did you have fun?" She asked, stepping inside the kitchen. Her eyes wandered to the glass I held in my hand and she let out a long breath, "It didn't go well?""It was okay," I turned around and pressed my back against the counter. "Until I learned that Leander appointed a young female Beta and he had been working with her all this time.""I suppose you're talking about Melissa, "I nodded my head, "Do you know her?" My throat burned as I took another sip of the drink while wondering about that female Leander had been cozying up to.Gwen hesit

    Why did he bring me here? That was the sole question running in my head. All my years in this town, I had never been invited to a pack meeting, even after being marked by Leander.I quietly followed him inside the office and studied everyone. Some of the faces were familiar while the others weren't. Usually, high-ranking wolves were only requested to come to the pack meetings, the others were left behind.My memory sharpened when I thought about Ever. I have never seen him ever since Leander brought me back in the pack. What really happened to him?! He was among the pack members I no longer saw in Leander's house hold. Where did he go?!'I forgot to ask Grace about everyone who used to take about me when I was unconscious. Though dumbfounded, I crouched over an empty seat and sat down while Leander fled to the corner where a man approached him and then a woman. The unfamiliar woman was the only woman in the meeting apart from me.I tried to recall who she was or if I had seen her be

    I wasted Leander's precious time by taking my time to choose a perfect dress. Well, I didn't care about the dress but I did care about taking my sweet revenge on him after last night's mishaps. Only if he had let me finish, I wouldn't have been here and he wouldn't have to put everything on hold just to cater to me."I look fat in this," I said, running my hands through my belly and legs. It was a short red dress that made my stomach look like I had been surviving on junk food over the past year.Leander groaned and leaned back in the dressing room."Can you just pick anything? Fast? Please?" He asked, for the third time in a row. He had been dying to leave the mall after spending two hours here, with me.I was hell-bent on making his life miserable after he tried to make mine. Unzipping the dress, I let it fall over the carpet before I walked out and grabbed another one while completely ignoring what he had just told me.He stared at me in disbelief, lips parted open and eyes wide wh
