GUY

She’s near,and her powers arerising.

My beta reported seeing it happen yesterday. Nicolas, one of my closest friends, works at the Crossroads Gentleman’s Club as a waiter. He popped into the dressing room to offer cold drinks and saw Steph’s hands glowblue.

She tried to hide it, my sweet Stephanie, but Nicolas knew. He had waited for that moment since the day he obtained that job as a floormanager.

As much as Nicolas hated leaving our home in Colorado to live in Cheyenne, he did it forme.

He did it for the three of us, who need Steph and what she can giveus.

The owner of the apartment complex where Steph lives was only too glad to give me a place to live so he could aid the alpha wolf who rescued his daughter from drug dealers. I myself made sure those bastards never again corrupted a young person, either skin orshifter.

Punishment with my fangs and claws is final. My pack knows this. They have seen me deal swiftly with the scum who would violate aninnocent.

And then there is my precious Stephanie, who comes to me eager and willing in her dreams, but who resists wolf shifters whileawake.

She will not resist me for much longer now that her magick is tingling, urging her to act upon hersexuality.

I have waited for that moment since Stephanie and I dream-walked together when she was only ten. I heard her crying in my dreams and reached out to comfort her, the terrified girl who thought monsters chasedher.

Monsters in dreams are nothing compared to the real monsters walking amongstus.

I know this, because they are closing in on my pack, my people, mylife.

If I don’t find a way to fight them, to renew the power of three, we aredoomed.

I need Stephanie. I need to bond sexually with her, and my betas. I must trigger her newfoundsexuality.

But Stephanie fears my kind, almost as much as the monsters that are drawn to mypack.

I will never let them hurt you, my darling Stephanie, who has dreamed of me, and waited for me her entire life. I will protect you to the last breath of my body, my heart, mysoul.

You are meant for me, and I am meant foryou.

I am coming for you, and I will haveyou.

Even if I must abduct you from your safe littleworld.
