[ Pobierz caÅ‚ość w formacie PDF ] Not my fault she was slow on the uptake. Took some convincing. Davie sighed. She never was the sharpest tool in the box. Eva looked from one to the other, realizing the situation wasn t exactly as Isabella had painted it. The sense of wrongness hit so hard it almost stole her breath. What wasn t she seeing here? What didn t she know? What s going on? How did you get out Davie? The scared act had disappeared and the female lycan shot her a look of hatred and irritation. She turned back to Davie. Get it over with, then our deal is done. Shit. Her instincts howled at her and Eva began to back away. This was wrong, very, very wrong. Do what? Before she d finished her sentence, Davie moved and was behind her. Thin arms with the strength of steel cable caught her in a tight embrace. Kill you, sister dearest. And perhaps this time, you ll fucking stay dead. *** Alex jerked awake, going from deep sleep to total consciousness in a heartbeat, his wolf on alert. Something woke him. Everything was dark and silent. Turning his head, he scanned the room. This late at night, it was in almost perfect darkness, but that made no difference. He could see perfectly well. Lycans were nocturnal predators. They might walk and talk human, but they were nothing of the sort. The same bedroom he d brought Eva into earlier met his eyes. The feminine décor, the frills on every available surface and more cushions than one person could possibly use in a lifetime the same as always. Nothing was out of place, but the sense of wrongness remained. His wolf paced and snarled within him. Alex frowned. He d never felt the creature so agitated, but why? Eva wasn t in bed next to him. He reached a hand across the sheets. The spot next to him was cool, her scent fading slightly. She d been out of bed a while. Taking a breath, he calmed himself. He d spent so long wanting her, and they d been through so much shit, that now he finally had her, a certain amount of anxiety about losing her again was natural. Eva? he called out, expecting an answer from the bathroom. There was no light on, but she never turned the light on at night even if it meant she tripped over anything and everything on her way to the bathroom. Something about not wanting to burn the sleep out of her brain with the light. It was one of the adorable yet frustrating things he loved about her. She had to be in the bathroom. Any moment now she d answer him, then emerge to walk across the room with that sexy little hip wiggle of hers. Slide into bed with him& His wolf snarled and snapped his attention back to reality. Although he knew Eva wasn t in the bathroom, he still called out again. Eva. Are you in there? A small breeze fluttered the curtain at the window as if to answer him. The current brought a wolf s scent. One he knew. Strong. Close. Female. His lip curled back in a low snarl. Isabella. Launching himself out of bed, he was across the room in a heartbeat to check the en suite. He skidded the last few feet, his shoulder slamming into the wooden doorframe. The en suite was empty. Shit. He knew Isabella had an issue with him turning Eva, but she wouldn t actually do anything, surely? A laugh broke unbidden from his lips. Hell yes, she would. Isabella was an alpha, just, and she had ideas above her station. She wanted to be the pack alpha female. She d do anything to achieve that goal. Up to and including removing a rival for his attention. Never mind the fact he had absolutely no interest in the woman and had made that clear on the several attempts she d made to get into his bed. The house rushed by in a blur. He hit the kitchen and his bare feet gave way to claws that clacked over the tiles. The back door crashed open and he burst out of the house onto the lawn, massive paws digging into the soft turf. Fully shifted, he paused for a moment to breathe deeply. Two females had been here, then headed for the forest. Throwing his head back, he gave voice to his fury. The howl ripped through the night air. Deepened and swelled. It was both a declaration that the pack alpha was pissed, and a summons, a command to all wolves within hearing to attend him. The night filled with answering howls, and as he watched, wolves emerged and raced across the grass toward him from all directions. Approval and deep visceral pride filled him. This was his pack his family and they were his to command. His wolf took over and he ran. Followed the scent of his mate and the lycan who had [ Pobierz caÅ‚ość w formacie PDF ] |
