barking and screaming of the wolves made her want to cover her ears but there was no doubt in her mind
who the winner would be.
God, but you do have a mouth on you, girl. Be prepared for a nice, long disciplining tonight. Liam
grinned. Thought Caelan was gonna bust through that door and jump on you for the things you were
saying. Why did you have to taunt him?
I was trying to distract him while Caelan took his sweet time coming in to rescue me.
His belly laugh was drowned out by the snarls. One of the wolves yelped and backed off feebly.
Hayward. His hind legs collapsed beneath him and he fell to his haunches. Caelan stood over him, his lips
curled back, his eyes squinting.
Tieran saw why the detective had yelped. Blood poured from a wound in his neck, draining his life with
it. Her heart pounded. A fight to the death and she had stood by silently and watched it happen, unafraid
even for her mate. Deep in her heart, she knew he would survive. Somehow she understood that when
the day came, she would know when he wouldn t be with her any longer.
It is the way of our people, Liam whispered in her ear, somehow picking up on the direction of her
thoughts.
It s insane.
Caelan shifted and stood on two feet, gloriously naked, sweating and breathing heavily. He swiped at a
patch of blood across his chest. Three angry stripes marked him there.
Hayward whimpered and gurgled one last breath. He hadn t even had the strength to shift back to
human form before succumbing to Caelan s attack.
Caelan lifted his head and stared at her. The intensity stunned her. He stalked to her, his chin dropped to
his chest, his cock& She swallowed. She watched it grow the closer he got. Liam laughed behind her
and she thought she heard him say good night.
Without a word, Caelan tenderly caressed her split lip with his tongue before taking hold of her hands
and laving the tender spots on her wrists. When he was satisfied, he led her out the double doors. Tieran
sucked in a breath. A huge group of people, his pack, most of them in their birthday suits, stood waiting
there, all of them silent and looking at her. How they d gotten there so quickly, she didn t know. Didn t
care.
Heedless of his nudity, Caelan stepped forward.
It is done. Michael Hayward is our traitor.
A collective gasp flowed through the crowd. Caelan was pulled aside leaving Tieran to be engulfed by
the pack. She was hugged, her cheeks squeezed, making her wince, and her limbs checked to make sure
she was still in one piece. Satisfied, they all started talking at once.
Caelan came to the rescue before she could even open her mouth to speak. He grabbed her hand and
tugged her along in his wake. She didn t protest. The group parted and let them pass. Several people
shook hands with Caelan or patted him on the back. Many more simply said, Thank you.

Oh my God, Caelan. Tieran stopped. What about Eli? Hayward said he d disposed of him
somehow. He s out there somewhere. How will we find him if Hayward s dead?
Caelan turned and put a finger over her lips. That s what I was doing a second ago. They ve already
picked up his scent and are going after him.
Don t you need to go with them?
No. I ve got more important things to take care of right now. Caelan started dragging her again and
although he paused more than once within his pack, he never actually stopped moving until they were in
the kitchen. Alone. He closed the door quietly behind them and yanked the blinds closed, shutting out the
spectators.
I promise retribution for the way you tempted Michael Hayward tonight, my own.
She shivered at his softly spoken words. One could only imagine what his form of retribution would be.
He pressed her against the counter. The small of her back dug into the marble and he slanted his mouth
over hers, careful not to hurt her lip. Screw careful. She deepened their kiss, tasting his tongue. A little
cracked lip wasn t going to keep her from doing this. Every ounce of her anxiety and fear vanished with
the simple touch. Tieran wrapped her arms around his neck and held on tight. She needed this. She
needed him. Now.
Bedroom, he said.
Her clothes somehow disappeared along the way and she found herself laid out across the bed. The
wounds on his chest already looked better. She wished she had that kind of healing power.
Caelan knelt between her legs and pushed them wide, making more room for himself. When he knelt, his
breath tickled across her pussy, enveloping her in warm heat.
Please, Caelan, make love to me.
Oh, I will, my own. I will.
His lips caressed her clit and she arched into his mouth, trying to get closer. He backed off until she
relaxed, and started again. His tongue snaked out along her slit, licking the moisture from her and adding
his own. It wasn t enough.
Caelan seemed to understand. Either that or he couldn t wait himself. He reared up, lifting her knees into
the crook of his elbows and sank into her sheath in one long agonizing stroke. Tieran groaned as he filled
her and grasped the blanket in her fists.
Clinching her vaginal walls, she fought to keep his cock inside when he began to pull out.
Fuck, he said, his head dropping back on his shoulders. He pressed in a little quicker this time. Both of
them moaned.
Can t go slow.
No, don t want you to, she begged.

He leaned over her and set his teeth on the crook of her shoulder, prepared to mark her once more. The
headboard shook along the wall with his heated thrusts. Mere seconds went by and she felt the sharp
prick in her skin. His fingers played magically with her clit, circling and teasing it until she exploded. A
shower of white lights sparkled behind her eyelids. The orgasm took her breath away.
With a final thrust, Caelan held himself still inside her. His come pulsed from his cock, bathing her in
warm spurts.
When he collapsed in a panting slump, Tieran hugged him close, accepting and loving his warm weight
on top of her. After a few minutes of catching their breath, he rolled them to the side, his cock sliding out
of her.
I think that s what you call a quickie.
Caelan s chest vibrated on a growl. If you ever do something so stupid again
You ll what? Spank me? she asked, grinning from ear to ear.
God, I thought I was going to lose you tonight. He nearly did right then when he squeezed the life out
of her.
I knew you wouldn t, she whispered.
