He moved up my body, kissing my neck and finally his cock was between my thighs. I lifted my hips and locked my legs behind his back pulling him towards me, inside of me and we fell into a whirlpool of emotion and sexual energy that overwhelmed all thought and other sensation. I screamed as I came, in joy and utter delight and the release was incredible. Our bodies locked in a single motion, our limbs molded together as the waves of pleasure rocked us both, together, a moment that seemed to last forever.

Eventually, he untangled himself from me, sliding onto the bed next to me.

“Don’t go,” I whispered.

“I’m not going anywhere,” he said, his hand on my cheek as he leaned over to kiss me, so softly.

I smiled at him. “What are you doing here anyway?”

“I was in the neighborhood?”

I had to laugh.

“You wouldn’t answer my texts,” he said.

Of course, my phone. I was about to explain, when I heard growling and barking at the door. My blood ran cold and Luc and I jumped out of the bed as two wolves came charging into the house launching themselves atLuc. He moved too fast for me to follow, all I could see were whirling shapes, moving together, violent movements and cries of pain. Then I saw the animals slammed together, their skulls smashed with enormous force as they crumpled onto the floor. I saw the bodies transforming back to human form, in the recognizable form of two guards from the club.

“You need to get out of here,” I said to Luc, panic in my voice. “They will be coming here, looking for you.”

“Come with me,” he said, reaching for me. “I will protect you!”

“Not now, but maybe, later,” I said. “Go quickly before they see you!”

We heard the sounds of motorbike engines revving and coming closer. I heard paws outside, in the dirt, scratching. I needed to find a way to protect myself and my family, if I could.

Luc melted into the shadows.

“I’ll be back, soon,” he promised and then he was gone, giving me very little time to figure out what to tell the shifters when they found me. I was afraid, very afraid.

Chapter 8

Luc

I go straight back to the capital and contact Alexandra, asking to see her. She agrees to meet me at the Moonlight Garden outside of the city. I am glad she is not making things awkward because our relationship had not ended well and we did not part on good terms. Some harsh words had been exchanged and she was a proud woman who did not tolerate being treated badly.

She stood at one of the fountains, a tall, slim shape in a shimmering silver robe. She was extremely attractive, with delicate features and slanted eyes, her dark hair reaching to her waist. However, the look she gave me was cold and hostile. I knew I didn’t have much time with her.

“Thank you for meeting me, I know this is a difficult time.”

Alexandra was now the chief Hattari counsel to the rulers of the city. She represented the al-Hattari tribe, who occupied the Western Territory. Even though it was an area of mostly mountains and inhospitable land, it included the coast and several miles of sea in the South, where rich gas reserves existed. VCOM ran huge exploration and extraction enterprises there. We were about to open a new plant there as well.

“I wanted to ask you something.”

“Yes?”

“VCOM is having problems with the Hattari deal, do you know anything about it?”

A small smile twitched her lips.

“Are you asking me for information? I thought that was your department?”

She was not going to make it easy for me.

“I was under the impression we were renewing the contract, opening a new plant. Now I’m told the Harrati government has received a new proposal from a rival organization offering better terms. Do you know anything about this?”

Alexandra turned away from me.

“Marran-Da is exploring her options. You can’t blame her. VCOM have been underpaying for years.”
