Wolf Crying Mate of the Alpha by Jazz Ford

‘This is my room, mine and John’s. This room over here is vacant. You can take this room if you like, then we will be near each other, she says excitedly. ‘Sure. I’ll take it,’ I say, smiling. The room is pleasant and straightforward. It doesn’t have a bathroom. ‘Where would I find the bathroom?’…

The elevator dings, and my jaw drops. Two men in suits drag a third into the room. The man’s hands are bound behind his back with rope, and he has a calico bag over his head. New and old blood, stain the man’s shirt. I contain a gasp. They drag the man past me nonchalantly…

‘Answer me, Astrid. This is your last warning, he says. I look James dead in the eyes. ‘Alpha Ryker is my mate! And I’m the Luna of Shadow Crest! I suggest you take your hands off me before Ryker finds out where I am and rips you apart, limb by limb! I threaten. James growls…
