I didn’t dare have keepsakes of my family on display. I have enough reminders of my shortcomings, I refuse to add to them. The treasures I’ve been gathering over the years are kept in another cave. During the day, some light trickles in through the hole on the side of the den that leads up…

Cindi’s forehead pinches in confusion when I cup her cheek and tuck her hair behind her curved, human ears. She needs only say the words, and I will mark her in return. “Thank you,” I rasp, blood soaring with elation. “I would have preferred my chest or throat, so it is more obvious, but I…

The monster’s eyes brighten when they land on me. “I told you—I am bringing you home.” His voice holds an excited yet hesitant lilt. “I will take care of you. You will always be safe as long as I’m here.” The waves climb up my body. Panic overtakes pain. I claw at him, feeling nothing….

It was only a matter of time before the Gallaghers followed me here. It’s a miracle I’ve even lasted this long. The thing that killed those men could be connected to either of the people who have it out for me, or maybe someone else I’ve inadvertently pissed off without realizing. My best bet would…

“His name is Vasz,” the voice comes from behind me. It— Vasz —lowers his ass to the rug, swishing his shark-shaped tail behind him, giving me what can only be described as a nod of confirmation. I swing my gaze from the shark-dog to the tentacles feeling me up, then backward to the open suitcase…

I shouldn’t panic, but shit, I’m going to drown. Something hard hits my head, sending me into a stunned daze muffled by the surge of adrenaline. I twist my body to try to fight the water’s drag, using every ounce of my power to claw out. Every time I get a glimpse of the surface,…

Never mind. My message has been sent. There’s no need to finish the whole human. A third of his body is more than sufficient. I will never understand why humans were considered a delicacy centuries ago. He should be thanking Cindi he is being granted a quick death. He’d be suffering far more if she…

Fuck. Mey name is Cindi, not Kristy. I step back when he sways forward. “How about you and I go for a little dance?” He touches my hand, and my fist flies before I can think better of it, hitting him square in the gut. Holy shit. What did I just do? The man buckles…

No. She is my mate. I do not need another male to tell me what my mate needs. I extend my hand toward her, and she flinches, stumbling back. A flare of panic goes through me. Did I hurt her before? I tried to be gentle, but maybe I held her too tightly. I must…
