Chapter 11
Isabella was certain no other person—wolf, human, or otherwise—had ever infuriated her more than Jeremy Lennon. She’d always considered herself a mild-mannered person. Having grown up on a ranch in the Deep South, she’d been taught to be polite, accommodating, and generally pleasant. Sugar wouldn’t melt in her mouth, her mother used to say of her. Some would have called her bookish, shy even—when she wasn’t donning her lab coat overtop her cowgirl boots, that is.Yet, at the moment, as she looked into this cowboy’s ruggedly handsome face, all Southern hospitality flew out the window. Everything about him turned her tosalt instead of sugar. Who did he think he was, bossing her around and acting as if he gave a crap about her safety?The high commander of the Grey Wolves, that’s who.And now he was baiting her. Playing on her sense of curiosity with that dark, playful grin on his face. And she was falling

Jeremy had almost let her walk away.That thought haunted him as they rode down the mountainside atop Silver. The snow-covered pine trees and surrounding scenery passed in a steady blur. Or maybe he was too distracted by the enticing scent of a certain beauty’s dark hair inches from his face. She smelled of spring, of lemon verbena and sweet wildflowers, despite the cold winter air surrounding them. It was a warm, intoxicating mixture that made his cock ache.What had he been thinking? If he’d let her go, Maverick would have been beyond pissed, but that paled in comparison to what really vexed him. It was the thought that if he’d let her walk away, that would have meant he couldn’t guarantee her safety. This woman was an enemy to him, but all things considered, the thought of leaving her open to potential attack was torturous. He never showed an enemy mercy, yet he wanted to help her.And he hated it. He fucking hated it.The last

“Excuse me?”He’d surprised her when he’d let slip that he wanted to protect her. Help her. But…Isabella couldn’t have heard him correctly, could she?“I want to make it clear that our prior agreements still stand, and they have no relation to your decision. Regardless of my position, you have a choice, of course.”Maybe she had heard him correctly. He couldn’t possibly be serious. She gaped at him. Yes, there was heat between them. Tension. She sensed it, too. But she wasn’t about to admit that. Definitely not to him. She couldn’t risk another relationship with an alpha wolf—no matter how attractive and brave he might be, or how tempting the offer. No matter how much she wanted to see that softer side of him again.No. She needed to nip this in the bud before it got out of hand.She settled on being saucy. It worked with him, and that seemed to be the only way they could conver

“You seem distracted.” Dean stood inside the Missoula ranch barn beside Jeremy, a clipboard in one hand and a pen in the other as he took inventory of the ranch’s supply stock.Distracted was putting it lightly. Jeremy had spent the morning on the subpack’s small training field running drills. Considering the Missoula ranch was only about a quarter the size of Wolf Pack Run, their training field was less than what he was used to. The Missoula ranch, though fully operational and similar in function to Wolf Pack Run, didn’t boast Wolf Pack Run’s underground training facilities and an additional training field like his men were used to, but they were soldiers and cowboys, so they’d make do.Even with the field cramped with men, the monotony of drills had left his mind far too much room to wander. After a short lunch break, when they’d regrouped for sparring, it’d become clear to Jeremy that, for once, his head wasn&rsq

The door to Jeremy’s private cabin burst open, allowing the cold to blow in. The fire in the hearth flickered, the flames briefly dimming to a steady burning ember before roaring to life again. Jeremy stared into the fire, his thoughts racing. The cold at his back sent a chill down his spine, but it wasn’t the wind that caused him to still. It was the feminine voice that accompanied it.“You wanted to see me, Commander?”It had only been two days, but her voice sounded throatier, deeper in timbre than he remembered, the kind of voice meant for late-night phone calls and meetings in dark corners of a hotel lobby.Austin held her by the arms. Her wrists were bound again, though he knew she’d been roaming around without handcuffs inside the guest cabin that served as her house arrest. She watched him with incredulous eyes, as if he’d had nerve to summon her. He’d missed that cheekiness, stubborn woman that she was.H

Isabella gaped at Jeremy. For once, she found herself at a loss for words.He believed her…when no one else ever had. That thought was enough to undo her. The tears came fast, pouring down her cheeks. They were a mixture of relief, gratitude, and regret that she hadn’t told him sooner. She’d never expected anyone to believe her, let alone the Grey Wolf high commander. And now…“You can’t possibly mean?” She whispered the words. It felt as if speaking at a normal pitch would cause the possibility to evaporate into the ether.Jeremy gave a hard nod. His jaw was drawn tight. “That’s exactly what I mean. You’re free to go.”“What about my testimony to the Seven Range Pact?” she breathed. “I’ll think of something.”Her eyes grew wide. He would do that? For her? “But it can’t be that simple. They’re expecting me to testify. If I don’t sho

Chapter 17
Jeremy prowled toward Isabella, crossing the cabin in three quick strides. Her back was turned toward him, and he knew she hadn’t prepared for his onslaught. He caught her shoulders in his hands, and she stilled beneath his touch, bracing a hand against the door for support.Slowly, his hands slid over her, one resting on the delicate skin of her neck and the other cupping the side of one breast. She inhaled a sharp breath, and he eased her closer. The full curve of her ass pushed against the throbbing erection behind the fly of his jeans, and he growled, low and deep.His words were a fevered whisper against her ear. “I want you, Isabella Beaumont. I’ve wanted you from the moment I laid eyes on you, naked and about to steal my horse.”She opened her mouth to protest, but her words caught on a gasp as his canines brushed against the delicate skin of her throat. He caressed her breast, massaging and kneading until the hardened peak of her

Isabella shivered as Jeremy ran a hand down over her thighs. She was nude, spread wide before him, but he was still fully clothed. His gaze blazed a trail of heatthrough her as he admired her. As if she were a breathtaking sight down there. And the lights were still on…He could see every detail of her in full color. It should have mortified her, but she couldn’t bring herself to look away. He seemed entranced by her, as if she were a moving work of art meant for him to touch, feel, taste. The surge of power that thrummed through her in response was addictive. He was going slowly, which she knew was solely for her pleasure; she’d felt how ready he was. He idly ran his fingers between the lips of her pussy. The movement was so casual yet intimate that she felt the build of arousal rising in her chest again. He touched her as if she were his, as if there were no restrictions between them and he found pleasure in every part of her.It’d ne

“What?” Isabella’s eyes grew wide, and she surged forward against the ties.Jeremy had no doubt that if she’d been untied, she would have throttled him. It took every ounce of his strength and control to move this slowly, to ease her into it, but he needed this to be good for her. He wanted to take her rough and hard right now, pumping into her until the bed frame banged against the wall, but this was about her, not him.“That’s so unfair,” she breathed. Her hazel eyes narrowed into a glare as she shook her head at him. “You have to realize I have a hard time talking about… about that.”That was the whole point. Isabella needed to push her boundaries. He’d seen that in her from the very first time they’d met in the clearing. She didn’t care much for rules, especially the ones he set. It was what had drawn him to her from the start.But when it came to her sexuality, she was tim

Chapter 20
Jeremy stepped out onto the cabin’s wraparound porch, easing the door closed behind him. The silhouettes of the pine trees cast dark shadows over the shimmering white snow, promising an unknown world within their depths. The forest wasn’t the only unknown laid out before him. His mind drifted to the sight of Isabella lying naked on his bed, her legs tangled in the sheets and a look of pure, sated bliss on her face. It’d taken everything in him to walk out of the cabin and leave her to her own devices.But he needed to clear his head—and fast. He’d never had any trouble walking away after sex, but as he’d retreated out to the silence of the cold night, he’d had to fight to put one foot in front of the other. That’d never been a problem before. His break post-sex was ritualistic in nature, putting distance between him and whatever partner he happened to be with. It was the way it’d always been for him, even back before he&rs
