before clapping his shoulder and rounding the front of
the truck. He disappeared on the other side. A moment later, the truck
sped off, leaving a mist of smoke in wake of burnt rubber.

Ah, yes. Everything was coming together nicely. And after this
convenient haul away, she had the clear opportunity to unleash her
men and finish what she and her sisters had set out to do all those
years ago.
Bloodshed would always follow in the path of the white wolf until
the cursed creature was brought down.

Chapter Six
Nox finished leashing Riley to the bed, tightening the last knot
around his wrist. He wiped his hands on his jeans and straightened up,
casting a short glance toward Aya. The longer his gaze lingered on
her, the more he wanted to return to what they had started before
Mase interrupted. He had no shame in his deep-rooted hunger for the
woman. After all, he had waited a quarter of a century for her.
Aya had kept quiet the entire ride home, tossing a few lingering
glances toward Riley’s unconscious figure in the backseat. Nox
focused on the drive, trying his damnedest to ignore the potent scent
of his woman’s arousal, mixed delightfully with a hint of anxiety and
adrenaline.
His carefully coiled control was about to snap, and when it did,
the strings would whip hard and fast, leaving Aya at his mercy. No
phone calls, no sense of urgency outside of their intimacy, would stop
him this time.
He prided himself in control, but with his mate, he found it
nothing more than a whisper. She was his drug, his weakness, hence
why he went to the extreme to tranquilize Riley and bring him back
with them. She needed to know her other mate where he could control
the situation.
“You think that’ll hold him when he wakes?” Aya asked.
“Probably not,” Lenox admitted smugly.
“You’re willing to chance his outrage?”
“I have no choice, little one. He needs to know what’s going on,
whether he likes it or not.”
“Are you going to tell me what’s going on?” Aya asked. Nox

looked at her and brushed a wave from his forehead. She looked
utterly pleasing nibbling on her bottom lip with her arms crossed over
her chest, showcasing the swells of her breasts.
He cleared his throat and shifted, hoping to ease the pressure in
his hard cock. He wasn’t sure how much longer he’d be able to go
before the need to claim her took possession of his spirit. As it was,
his wolf paced at a disturbing rate, yelping his dissatisfaction with
Nox’s stubborn resolve. This was torture of the worst kind.
“Riley and I have history. Some of it will give you warm fuzzies.
Most is fucking cold as mountain snow.” Nox crossed the bedroom
until he had her pressed back against the wall. Her breath caught in
her throat. He listened to the furious tempo of her heart. Resting both
hands against the wall on either side of her shoulders, he dipped his
head and inhaled the sweet scent of rose and wet-with-desire woman.
“He’s been led astray, and it’s my job to pull him back.”
He stole a quick glance into the shadowed encasement of her
hoodie. His mouth watered with want, his jaw tightened with hunger,
and his mind rolled with thoughts of passion. He turned his head,
pressing his mouth to the soft underside of her chin.
“He’ll need both of us, Ayasha.” He flicked out his tongue,
drawing a slow line from her throat to the tip of her chin. The purr he
received stroked his ego. “Just as much as I need you.”
“What happened to him?”
Why the hell did he have to bring up the past now when his blood
seared his veins and his cock twitched against the tight confines of his
jeans?
Because she needs to understand completely.
Nox snaked his arms around Aya’s waist and rolled them into the
hallway. His gaze dropped to the quick rise and fall of her supple
breasts. He couldn’t believe how perfect she was, a true blessing from
the
the truck. He disappeared on the other side. A moment later, the truck
sped off, leaving a mist of smoke in wake of burnt rubber.
