Life’s Spiced Up with Some Werewolf Reads
Orphaned and shunned, Alora has always lived in fear until fate binds her to her worst enemy, Colton, the proud future Alpha of a rival pack. Their bond shocks everyone and sparks old hatred and danger. As war returns and dark secrets rise, Alora must uncover the truth behind her cursed bloodline—or die trying.
“Doctor, ummm?” He seems to be dragging his memory as he says it, staring at doc like he can’t quite believe what he’s seeing and trying to remember that mouthful of a name. That hostile jealous need to maim him dies an instant death, as he realizes there is no way in hell, I’m looking…
“It’s a long story, I think maybe it’s better to do it this way. So you can see for yourself.” I whisper, reaching up and laying my fingertips on his temple and wait for his permission. Tensing as my touch seems so light and hesitant on him, that familiarity dragging me to draw closer. Colton…
“He said ‘I hate this not being able to reach you bullshit and it shouldn’t be this way’” I mimic Coles slightly accented dialect in a mocking male low tone, bouncing my shoulders as I say it in pretense macho’ness, and kick the dash in fury when I let it out, hurting my own toes…
Screw you Colton. You weak ass daddy’s boy who should have just manned the fuck up and realized this was bigger than us! I was the one, not her. How could you? I don’t really mean it, well almost not fully, but I’m still completely devastated that he betrayed our bond. No matter the reason.…
This isn’t about marking, or obeying the alpha and respecting the laws, this is about his mom and intervening in something bigger than the rules of the packs. This is about betrayal, and what his father has done, and I literally have no idea about how I’m going to tell him. Once he knows, it’ll…
It’s the complete crumple of his tone and the hint of hurt that peeks through that shakes me out of my rose-tinted stupor, and I know he thinks I might have found someone, as in, a mate. I don’t get why he would jump to that conclusion, unless it’s guilt, because he knows what he’s…
What the hell did you do? Who are they? Not that it matters right now, because I’ll rip them a new one and yes, the sub pack and then some…. You’ve missed so much, Lorey. I have so much to fill you in on. Likewise. I sigh internally and mouth it to myself. I dread…
“What?!?!” that’s not the response I expected from him at all and I blink at him, my mouth open and frown intensely. “I thought you said I was witch and wolf.” I let it out slowly, precisely, as I remind him of how stupid what he’s saying, actually is. “No, my dear, I said you…
He gestures again after blowing out an incoherent sound that I assume was meant to be words, to follow. I shrug and do it. I don’t see any reason not to, he’s proven himself to be a half decent human who isn’t out to hurt me, and a voice at the back of my mind…
“So, what you’re saying is … there’s no plan beyond getting out?” It’s a dry, non-amused response and I stare at him as everything inside of me grips tight. I have to swallow down the rising panic and he half-heartedly shrugs at me. “I’m a doctor, not a masked villain who kidnaps people for a…
