I’m wishing about now that I hadn’t let them run off half-cocked like that. I’m wishing I’d had my cousins whip up some of whatever potion allowed Wyatt and his betas to get into our village without us picking up their scents.
If they don’t have luck in the next twelve hours, I might ask Erica if she can help with that.
“When I met Stacy yesterday, I touched her,” Veronica says. “And you know when I touch people or their things… I often get information about them.”
“Yeah, I know,” I say.
“I don’t always want information. And I don’t get all the information, just big things. Traumatic events or big secrets. Things that dominate their personalities.”
“Okay.”
“I’m sorry to tell you this, but she’s been very badly abused, Grey. Badly.”
I already know this. It’s not only obvious, she’s dropped a few facts that have pissed me off. But now my blood runs cold. Because my cousin’s tone is severe.
“What does badly mean?”
“We have to find a way to stop them. I don’t know how much Stacy has shared about her upbringing, but Greyson, it’s bad. Like… really bad.”
She’s shared a little. Not a lot. She’s timid. She’s got hangups about sex that I’ve been working on with her. She’s coming around with me but it’s obvious to me she hasn’t completely leveled with me about her old pack, the life there. I know she was forced to shoot Ty. I know she did what her brother said because she was absolutely terrified of him. The entire pack is. He’s a tyrant. I’ve been working at helping her settle in. Working to build trust with her, figuring she’ll open up more as time goes on.
“Thanks for telling me, Veronica.”
“Ronnie,” she corrects. “And call me if you need any help with anything, okay? We’re so happy you’re part of our coven, Grey. Part of our family.”
“I am, too,” I say. “Talk soon.”
I end the call and stare out the window, trying to simmer the rage now boiling in my blood. I wanted to rip Wyatt Meadows apart last night. I really fucking did. If I weren’t freshly mated I’d be on the road looking for him, relentless in my pursuit to stop him and his reign of terror.
My phone rings again, pulling me from my thoughts.
I don’t recognize the number calling.
“Hello?” I answer.
Nothing.
I repeat, “Hello?”
A female clears her throat. “Greyson Blackwood?”
“Yeah. Who’s this?”
“I… I’m Soleil Young. I… wonder if we could meet. And if you agree, I would just please ask… not that you owe me anything… but I would ask that you keep it just between us for now.”
The End (for now)
(Greyson’s story, Claimed, Savage Alpha Shifters Book 4, is coming next. Join my newsletter for information about it. AND: good news, I’ve already started to write this book.)

Interested in the Holden and Isabella story related to the Young witches? I wrote two novellas a few years ago. You can read Hollow (Part 1) and Holden (Part 2) separately or buy the duet and read them together.
If you love paranormal romance, one of my earliest works was my Nectar Trilogy. This is a dark and taboo vampire trilogy about a very possessive vampire who is addicted to his fated mate’s blood, which means danger for a lot of reasons. There’s a little easter egg here with Sergei Voitenko who is in Essence, book three of The Nectar Trilogy. As you can tell, I have plans!
If you love hot alpha men in a non-paranormal world, you might want to check out my Beautiful Biker series, which starts with Detour.
I have contemporary enemies-to-lovers roommate romances too with my Alphahole Roommates Series.
I even have an alien matchmaking series called Hot Alpha Alien Husbands.
And I’ve got lots of dark romance, too. I started out as a dark romance author with The Dominator Series, my bestselling series.
And check out The Devious Games Duet, too, to meet my morally grey antihero Killian Coulter. Book one in the duet, Kill Game, has a jaw-dropping plot twist.
Huge thanks to my readers, my beta team, arc and street team, my designer and friend Hayley, and my author friends. You guys make this so much fun. And you make it so that I can do this for a living. Thank you, sincerely.
