Genre: Paranormal
Tension grows between old rivals...
Cold-blooded murder sparks a feud that could lead to the deadliest civil war in Pack history. Alpha Devin Caedmon and his council are tempted to risk all that is precious to protect their bloodline. Tristan Arnou, the rival Pack's leader, isn't the only force trying to tear down the unity holding them together. All threats must be eliminated before their entire race is destroyed.
Forbidden love burns like a wildfire... There is one woman who Blake DeLuca loves more than anything else: Naomi Valentine. Despite the escalating battle and power struggles among their leaders, the erotic fire between these two lovers has yet to be extinguished. Naomi's heart belongs to Blake, but her allegiance lies with Arnou. She's left with two choices...assume her duty or accept Blake's eternal bond?
In Wolf's Strength secrets are exposed, and memories that were buried long ago have resurfaced. The game of deception is a deadly one. There can be no peace until the bloodshed ends.
“Why, Naomi? Why do we have to go on like this?”
She swallowed. “There are a million reasons why, and you’re aware of every single one of them.”
“Let’s run away. Somewhere far…and then we won’t have to worry about it.”
That had been the plan when they were young, but now they were adults with important responsibilities.
“Stop talking nonsense. You know that’s impossible. You have your duty and I have mine.” As she said this, she glimpsed a bit of remorse in his eyes, but there was something strange mixed with it. “You’re different.
Your eyes are…”
“Then the news hasn’t reached your Pack?” he inquired.
“There are traitors among Arnou. Tristan and his Council are selective about whom they share information with.” She peered across the other side of the building, sensing her brothers had not left the area. “I have to go.”
“Wait!” He tightened his grip on her hand and lifted a brow. “What do you mean traitors?”
She nodded. “Real traitors. Apparently, vital secrets were released about Arnou’s plan for our Pack. Tristan has interrogated many suspects. He threatens the life of any who cross him.”
Blake’s nose flared and his fingers tightened on her waist. “Get out before it’s too late.”
“It is too late,” she said firmly. “Back to the subject. What news are you referring to?”
“I don’t want you concerned.”
“Really? Or is it because you think word will reach Arnou after you’ve told me?”
Blake grinned but only for a split second. “Trust me, your leader knows what happened. Maybe he’s ashamed to admit his failure to his followers.”
“What failure?”
In that moment his eyes grew red and he stared at her under heavy dark eyelashes. She tried to pull away, but his firm hold on her prevented them for parting.
“What’s been missing for centuries that both Alphas want?”
Naomi narrowed her eyes. “They both want absolute power of the North American territories. But what do you mean? What has been missing?”
“It’s been so long, but have you forgotten already?” He lowered his voice as he spoke this time.
“As an Elite we’re handpicked to guard the Alpha, eliminate his threats, and clean up after his messes. I’m not paid, nor do I make it my priority to delve into anything else.”
“Ah…is that so? You and I both know you don’t follow Arnou’s rules to the T.” He slid his nose against the side of her neck, causing her to shiver against him. “I’m a threat to your leader and the pledge you made to him, am I not?”
Naomi bit her bottom lip as Blake’s canines replaced his nose against her throat. “Just tell me what the fuck you’re talking about. What is missing?”
His manhood hardened against her belly. “What should I do with that naughty mouth of yours, huh?” He pressed his hot tongue against her pulsing jugular.
Her knees buckled as he released the pheromones from his tongue and awakened her wolf. It was his way of marking her internally, and her hungry pores absorbed all of it.
“Tell me,” she urged.
“I—”
A long howl from the distance startled them both. It was Nathan warning her she needed to hurry.
“Come with me—permanently,” Blake demanded without releasing her. “And you’ll know everything.”
“No.” She pulled out of his embrace. “I have to go before someone discovers us. Why are you still here?
You’ll get caught too.”
“I know the sheriff downstairs. We’ll handle the cover up.”
“Must be nice to have ranking in the human world.”
His lips spread into a smile. “The sheriff isn’t humankind.”
“Figures.” Caedmon royalty had connections like that inside as well as outside the shifter world. It almost made her think they had more of a chance than her Arnou leader.
Blake frowned. “How do you expect me to protect you from so far away?”
“You left me years ago.” She pointed at his chest. “You should have thought about that before you made that decision.”
“Don’t…” He tried to reach her, but she continued to back away. “You still want to use that against me? We agreed to a plan years ago. You didn’t follow through.”
She swallowed. He was right. At the last minute she’d all but betrayed him. “I would go with you, but just like it was years ago, there is more than my life at stake.”
