11 - LIBRARY STACKS

Paige pointed her finger at the indoor balcony and asked if I knew the terrifying man in the dark suit. I forced myself to look away from Evan, and I turned my attention back to Paige's worried face so she would not see the genuine fear in my eyes."I do not know him personally," I lied, although my heart beat very fast against my ribs. "I heard he is just a private security guard for some of the wealthy legacy students here on campus, so we should just ignore him."Paige frowned and looked up at the balcony one more time. "He looks very intense, and I do not like the way he was staring at that track guy.""Rich people always hire intense security because they are paranoid," I said to brush off her concern. "Let's go drop off my work forms at the office so we can finally eat that pizza."Paige accepted my explanation without asking any more questions, and we walked down the quiet corridor together. I handed my yellow folder to the administration clerk at the front desk. The clerk proc

12 - PUSHING BACK

The cold metal of the bookshelf pressed hard against my spine because Ryder had me pinned in the narrow aisle. His thick arms formed a solid barrier on either side of my head, and I had absolutely nowhere to run. The dark scent of pine surrounded me while the heavy air made it difficult to catch my breath.I stared up into his amber eyes, and I felt a brief wave of pure terror wash over my body. He had managed to track me all the way from the crowded student union down into the isolated basement without anyone noticing him. He looked dangerous enough to hurt someone, yet my initial fear quickly morphed into hot, burning anger.I realized exactly how he knew about my brief conversation in the lobby.Evan was standing on that indoor balcony earlier so he could spy on me while I dropped off my employment forms. Ryder sent his best friend to watch my every move, and Evan clearly reported back to him the second I spoke to another guy. The invasion of my privacy was infuriating, so I refuse

13 - THE ALPHA'S GIRLFRIEND

I dropped my hand away from Jaslyn’s chin before my control shattered. My chest heaved with every breath I took because the urge to kiss her right there in the dusty basement was overwhelming. I looked at her soft lips one last time, and I forced myself to step back. I had to create physical distance between us so I would not do something I would regret later.I turned my back to her and walked out of the narrow aisle without saying another word.My heavy dress shoes echoed loudly on the concrete floor as I headed toward the stairs. My thoughts raced out of control, and my inner wolf paced back and forth inside my skull. The beast hated walking away from our mate while she was unprotected in a public space. My biology demanded that I turn around and carry her back to the safety of the estate, yet I knew my father would ask questions if I dragged his new stepdaughter out of her college library.I climbed the stairs two at a time and pushed through the main doors of the basement. I igno

14 - CONFRONTATION

I pushed the heavy glass doors of the library open and stepped out into the bright afternoon sunlight. The warm air hit my face right away, yet my hands were still shaking from my intense encounter with Ryder down in the dusty basement. I shoved my trembling hands deep into the front pockets of my jeans so no one would see how much the confrontation affected me. I walked across the large green quad toward a busy campus coffee shop because I desperately needed an iced drink to cool my racing thoughts.My mind replayed the way Ryder had caged me against the metal bookshelf. I hated how his close proximity made my heart beat faster, and I hated that my body betrayed me by reacting to his touch instead of pushing him away. He acted like a territorial jerk who owned my schedule, although he had treated me with absolute disgust just twenty-four hours ago. I needed to clear my head, so I joined the long line of students waiting inside the campus cafe.The noise of the loud espresso machines

15 - SAVIOR'S MISTAKE

I stood on the elevated stone walkway that overlooked the busy coffee shop patio, and my hands gripped the cold concrete railing. I had followed Sienna and her friends across the green quad because I needed to ensure they did not corner Jaslyn alone. My enhanced wolf hearing allowed me to hear every single word they spoke below me, so I listened closely while Sienna delivered her pathetic threats. Sienna truly thought her family wealth gave her the right to terrorize a human girl, yet Jaslyn did not back down from the challenge.I heard Jaslyn tell Sienna to keep her boyfriend on a leash, and a massive surge of dark pride rushed straight through my blood.My mate was brave enough to stand up to a dangerous werewolf without showing any fear, although she had no idea what kind of monsters she was dealing with. Her defiance was beautiful to witness, and I admired her strength. However, her harsh words pushed Sienna over the edge.I watched Sienna’s fake smile vanish, and her expression c

16 - RETREAT

The loud, terrifying sound of my own roar tore through my throat, and it echoed off the brick walls of the campus buildings. I gripped the concrete railing of the balcony, because I wanted to vault over the edge and drop down to the patio. The college students below screamed in absolute panic. They dropped their heavy backpacks and their plastic coffee cups onto the pavement, so they could run away from the noise. They did not understand what kind of animal could make such a massive sound, and they scrambled to find safety.I did not care about the terrified humans, nor did I care about the public scene I was causing. My glowing amber eyes remained locked on Connor. He still had his hand resting on Jaslyn's left shoulder, and that physical contact pushed my rational mind away.My body betrayed my human control because my raw protective instincts took over my biology. The dark heat in my blood grew overwhelming, and my physical transformation began right there in the open daylight.Lou

17 - CAR RIDE HOME

I sat at a quiet corner table inside the basement of the library, because I needed a safe place to hide for the rest of the afternoon. The loud, terrifying animal roar that echoed across the campus earlier still rang in my ears. I remembered how the college students dropped their heavy backpacks and screamed in pure panic. They ran across the green quad to find safety, yet the campus security guards never found the source of the massive noise. Connor had walked me back inside the building right after the terrifying incident, so I would be safe from whatever wild animal escaped into the courtyard.My work shift ended at exactly three o'clock. I packed my yellow folder into my backpack, and I texted Paige to let her know I survived my first day. I walked out to the main university gates, and I felt incredibly exhausted. My legs ached from walking all day, and my social battery was fully drained. I spent my morning dealing with Sienna's mean threats, and I spent my afternoon hiding from

18 - SPARK

She pressed her spine against the leather passenger seat, and her eyes grew very wide in the dark vehicle. The confined space of the SUV felt incredibly small while her sweet vanilla scent surrounded me and clouded my rational thoughts.My inner wolf pushed hard against my mental barriers since the beast wanted to close the final few inches between us. I leaned my upper body over the heavy center console, and I let my gaze drop to her soft lips. My biology demanded that I claim her right now so no other male could ever look at her again.I wanted to kiss her right there in the dark driveway, but I forced my muscles to stop moving before I made a terrible mistake.I knew she did not understand our supernatural world, so a forceful physical advance would only terrify her more. She already viewed me as a cruel jerk, and I did not want to push her further away. I clenched my jaw and pulled my face back a few inches, although my chest still heaved with heavy breaths. I needed to establish

19 - MOTHER'S DECEPTION

The unnatural heat from his large hand burned against the sensitive skin of my wrist, and the massive shockwave of electrical energy still traveled through my veins. I did not understand how a simple touch could produce such a strong physical reaction, yet my body recognized the strange power connecting us. He leaned closer to me with an expression of raw awe on his face, so I knew I had to get away from him right now before he tried to kiss me.I yanked my arm backward with all of my strength, and I ripped my wrist out of his firm grip.Ryder let out a low gasp, and his fingers flexed in the empty air as though he wanted to grab me again. I did not give him the chance to trap me, because my survival instincts screamed at me to run away. I slammed my left hand against the electronic door panel and hit the unlock button.The automatic locks clicked open with a loud mechanical sound, and I pushed the heavy passenger door wide open.I scrambled out of the dark SUV before he could reach a

20 - DAMIEN'S INTERVENTION

The heavy canvas backpack rested against the wooden hallway table after it made that loud noise, and the silence in the corridor stretched for a long, uncomfortable moment. Vanessa stared at me with pure terror on her face, yet her fear did not last very long. Her expression morphed into raw, defensive rage because she realized I had heard her secret phone call. She dropped her expensive cell phone onto the thick Persian rug, and she marched toward the open parlor doorway to confront me."What are you doing sneaking around the house?" Vanessa screamed at me, and her loud voice echoed down the long, dim corridor. "You are supposed to announce yourself when you walk through the front doors, so you have no right to skulk in the shadows like a common thief."I refused to back down or apologize for walking into my own home. I dropped my old sneakers onto the cold marble floor, and I crossed my arms over my chest so I could defend myself. My legs ached from walking across the huge college c
