It seemed as if there had been a lot happening both on Karal and on the deep space missions since they had left. One by one of the missions had returned, and data had been collected on various other alien species that had been encountered. One of these was the Hrokili, who had consistently shown ...
At last he was driving them to the Talamo Pride Lands. Frasier had left them for a while earlier, hauling Serrif the lion single-handedly to his truck, and then driving to the border. While the other three had returned to the cabin and dried off and found some food. When Frasier returned, nobody ...
she said as they tended the vegetable plot out in the back garden of her mom and dad’s house. “You think? Sometimes I wonder if I’m cut out for this fighting lark,” he said. His words worried her. Since Tallis had beaten him last night, he had lost his confidence, his will, to fight. “Listen,” sh...
Always one to trust her instincts, she took a step back, looking along the street to see if there was anyone lurking there. No one. Still she could not shake the sensation that something was off. Shrugging, she headed back to the front door and lifted her hand to knock … the door opened before sh...
Kane said. They had run through the grasslands together, climbing the hill to the highest point in the valley. Now they were looking out over the Talamo Pride Lands, and Daniel wondered if Kane was expecting him to be impressed. “I didn’t want it, you know?” “Didn’t want what?” Daniel asked. “Any...
How did he keep doing that? He knew it was due to him talking about his house. It always led to him thinking about having a family. His biological clock seemed to be speeding up. Making him desperate to have young cubs of his own. He couldn’t exactly tell Kayleigh it was her arrival in Bear Creek...
He knew he would die trying this time, that he could not let anything happen to her or Connor. His bear roared in agreement, and it was then that they both realized that the only way to keep them safe was to get rid of this Gable, or whatever name he went by now. Thoughts of revenge would have to...
Even outside of bear country, he was recognised as one of the best value and reliable haulers. It had given him all the material things he could need, but it had never provided him with the thing his heart desired. His mate. Yet now all of his hard work and dedication was about to pay off. The ho...
They were supposed to be going dancing, to cheer her up, but all she wanted to do was stay inside and hide. Let’s face it, all the men would be falling over themselves to dance with, Sarah Jane, she was after all stunning to look at, unfortunately that was all that seemed to matter to men these d...
There was a feeling of triumph in his heart, but he kept that from her. She didn’t need to hear the bear inside his head as he roared in defiance. He had claimed his mate, and she was his; she would breed his cubs and live in his den. Yes. The bear would stay cooped up for now, until he could be ...
If only he could break through her emotional defences once and for all. Yet he knew if he pushed too hard she would throw up everything she had to protect herself. He knew first hand what it was like to pretend to be something you weren’t just to protect yourself. Greg let her cry herself out. Un...
Over the last two days, he had worked like a demon to get the farmhouse protected from the elements. His muscles ached, but he was happy. Of course, that happiness was magnified by finding his mate. When he wasn’t thinking about what he needed to do next, he was thinking about Alli. A sound behin...
she asked. She peered behind him, trying to see her brothers, but there was only the dim flicker of a flashlight coming towards her; she couldn’t see if they were all together. “Colin gave them some rope in case they had to tie him up. They couldn’t make him turn back into his human form.” “Rope?...
In that moment he thought of all the years he had lived alone in this world. How unfair it was that now he had found everything that made his world complete, his long life was about to end. He wrapped his arms around Serena, and held her close. “Enough, Marcas. He won fairly.” Marcas, his fire al...
Sam lifted the table and walked to where his mom pointed. “There, I think. When Kayleigh gets here, I’ll check with her. You’ve worked really hard getting this barn in shape for the wedding. I thought there would be so much more to do.” He had worked solidly on it, apart from doing his rounds of ...
He lay still, his cock deep inside her, his mouth soft on hers. Around his hard length, her sex held him tight, a sheath so snug it was as if they were made for each other. When he began to move again the friction was almost too much. Her inner walls, already sensitive from where he had fingered ...
he said as he held the car door open for her. “Thank you,” she said, glad he couldn’t see her blushing furiously. No man, apart from her dad, had ever complimented her over anything. “I thought we would leave Bear Bluff for a couple of hours. Is that OK with you?” “Sure. I guess it’s one way to s...
Almost immediately, the ship told them it was not Karalian. What was it, though? She held her breath as they drew alongside. “Do you know what it is?” she asked. “No.” Rikka said, shaking his head. “It is not a ship we have encountered before. Our onboard system has a log of all known space craft...
Usually Rian would help calm her, but her slave wasn’t here. She had sounded different when they had spoken over the comms, and Tallia wondered what had happened in the days she had been missing. At least she was safe.By worrying about Rian, she was preoccupying herself. It blocked out what she r...
And he didn’t want to take her here, not on a cold, wet cave floor. He wanted to make love to her in a warm bed, where they could relax and explore each other, not huddle together to stop from getting hypothermia. So he slid his hand over hers and stilled it. “I should take you back to Cougar Rid...
After Brad had gone, she had been unable to sleep. Instead, her brain had zeroed in on every single creak of the house. Noises in the woods outside also conjured up images of things lurking unseen. Closing her eyes and burying herself under the blankets didn't help. Her loneliness was magnified b...
It had been centuries since he had killed so many men. But he reasoned it was self-defence. If he hadn’t set their bodies on fire they would have killed him, and then Serena. Through all of this he still held onto the pleasure he had experienced when his fist had broken Samuel’s face. The look of...
Why do they care what I have for breakfast?” he asked. “Thank you for doing it,” she giggled. “I thought when he asked you what your favourite movie was you were going to strangle him.” “I do not know what your movies are. Stupid man with his inane questions.” “Still, wasn’t it worth doing it jus...
She still didn’t know if Larka had been kidnapped, but if she had, going to Haripor with that big hunk of man flesh was the surest way to get her back. He knew how to protect himself, and he would protect her, because she was his ticket to riches. Maybe she should try to get a message to Kilma fi...
The whole thing had been so emotional and yet so unsatisfying. Her body still craved the release it felt cheated of. Her tears had nothing to do with him leaving her so soon after he had come inside her. It had nothing to do with him making her feel like a whore. A baby whore. “I’ve brought you s...
It had taken every bit of his strength to walk out that door and leave her. It was so against everything he stood for, women did not tell you what they wanted, and they toed the line. However, where Faith was concerned he was a different man. When he had arrived, back at the bar he’d got all the ...
He was too early, but he had dreaded getting stuck in traffic and being late. So he waited in his car, watching people going about their business, trying to switch off the internal cop, who was always on duty. Only a few short weeks ago, he had come here, his life in turmoil, his emotions drained...
Maggie.” Opening her eyes, she saw Aiden towering over her. Her first thought was one of relief that at least it was not the bear about to eat her. Then she panicked, unable to figure out how he had caught up with her so quickly, and how he managed to chase the bear away. “Let me go,” she said sc...
He couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her. Yes, he knew that Wolf Valley was lawless, even though they had a sheriff. He tried to figure that one out. Was the man an incompetent fool, or did it go deeper than that? “So, the sheriff?” Cole asked. Her hands tightened on the wheel. Without taki...
He had just returned from a family wedding, one of his younger brothers had at last found his mate and settled down to breed the next generation of Greystones. Nat should be happy about it, but the main topic of conversation at the wedding seemed to be his own lack of a mate. Usually there was no...
she said as they entered the small Sheriff’s office. For once Brad looked frazzled; he was standing up trying to organise everyone. Without much luck. It was a mixed crowd. Five of Will’s bikers, Malcolm and what looked like a bodyguard, her father and Eirik, plus her and Will. For a room used fo...
His teeth grazed her tongue, his mouth sucking on it as she pulled back from him. He excited her, made her feel alive. All the crap that was her life melted away, all that mattered was Joel and he was perfect. Her perfect mate. Setting her down on the bed, he knelt on the floor before her. She wa...
he asked. “No. They were all great. Although I can’t remember all of your brother’s names.” “Don’t worry. They won’t mind. They are all good-natured. So they’ll find it funny.” “I can’t imagine having such a big family.” “Good, because I don’t think I would want that many cubs. I think my mom kep...
But here was not the right place, despite the hardness of his cock in his pants and the overwhelming desire to take her by the hand, drag her round the corner, and take her up against the wall. In public. In daylight. She would never forgive him. Or would she? No. That would be wrong; he had to b...
After waiting so long, she was about to lie with her mate. He was the most beautiful creature she had ever seen and she didn’t compare to him. Yet, he wanted her, curves and all. Her stomach fluttered with desire. She didn’t want to speak in case she spoiled what was between them. All she could t...
While he waited for his brother, Nat, to answer he watched the young woman walking to towards the stage. A mixture of emotions raged inside him, but mostly he was angry. He had come to the club to speak to the manager about security, which was his speciality, supplying doormen and other added sec...
Whatever he was thinking was cold and calculating, the man who had shown her such warmth and kindness had retreated. The man before her frightened her once more. All she wanted to do was go back to her room and slip into a numbing sleep, but he intended to mate with her again. Yet despite her fea...
This is something I cannot help you with. You need to see Tara.” “And how am I going to get there? You can’t carry me in your talons all that way.” “We’ll have to get you onto my back.” Zoah had managed to sit up. He was certain there was no way he was going to be able to climb onto Connor’s back...
But once she got the hang of how her legs moved, she soon ran around in circles, watched over by her big, bad wolf. Who looked so goofy while he watched her, it made her want to laugh. She wondered what he thought of her, and maybe he wished he hadn’t helped her discover this other side of hersel...
After looking at his watch for the thousandth time, he went back into the hospital. Where Greta pounced on him. “Thank you for the flowers, Ben.” “It was the least I could do after last night.” He smiled at her, but was casting a glance around for Beth. “Oh, you have nothing to apologise for,” sa...
So why did it thump so loudly in his ears now? It was an old abandoned cabin; it didn’t look as though it had been used for years. There was no sign of anybody in the immediate area, so he could let the tension in his arms go. With a conscious effort, he unballed his fists. The first step onto th...
It was cold, and she kept looking at the door leading out onto the street, willing it to open and for someone to come in. Although she had avoided meeting people since she had moved to Bear Bluff to look after her nephew, now that she needed help, she cursed being left hanging around. The weather...
Elissa said, as Marin poured boiling water over a red powder. “I refuse to make that stuff, it’s disgusting.” “I like it,” Elissa insisted. She wanted to use the stimulant to ward off the way he made her feel. It was down to his skin and the way he could affect her emotions; she was sure of it. I...
He wasn’t on the porch, so she sat down on the bench, taking in all the sights and sounds of the cabin, wondering if she would ever come here again. Not that she would be able to find the way. The trees were thick around them. He might have chosen this place for the view, but he also had chosen i...
Was she going to reduce him to a dog, begging for scraps? Why wouldn’t she just do as he asked? “I cannot agree to those terms.” “Then we are done.” She carried on down the ramp, out of his space cruiser and out of his life. “There is an island. You may have the freedom of that.” He didn’t know w...
she said as the big Karalian came over to say his goodbyes. “Garth is a good man; he will look after you.” Okil’s look made her want to question what he meant, but she was still in awe of the aliens. She didn’t know anything about them. Other than the fact that they had healed her, saved her from...
he said as he steered the Hrokili ship away from the planet. They had stayed there for two days, where they feasted on fruits and meat, and drank the clear water from icy pools, and bathed in hot springs while watching the sun set. Then made love under the soft fur blankets in the small tepees th...
