  “Something I believe you’ll find beautiful.”

  She nodded, locking her door. “I think seeing something beautiful is rare anymore. Yes, I’d love to see what you have to show me.”

  They left the inn and the keeper said nothing to Ian about his running off the huge number of guests he had though Ian could feel the glare he was delivering to the back of his head.

  He put Nora’s hand in the crook of his arm and led her into the heart of Freebasin. In the early mornings, many of the townspeople set up little stands selling things like food, hand-carved utensils, clothing, and weapons.

  Nora smiled when she saw the stands. “I heard they held an open market here but I’ve never been up early enough to catch it I guess. What do they use as currency?”

  “It’s all trade. I have some things we can trade. What would you like to get?” Ian asked her watching her close her eyes and smell the air that swam with freshly baked bread, tarts, and cinnamon.

  “I don’t know the last time I tasted cinnamon. Let’s go see what they’ve made,” Nora said.

  “Lead the way,” Ian encouraged her and followed her through the crowded street to the stand that was selling cinnamon rolls. Ian traded a tiny bag of the healing balm Killian created that the townspeople valued more than anything else because it meant the difference between dying from such illnesses as the common cold or an infected cut and being cured. In return, he was given the entire bag of cinnamon rolls.

  Nora was salivating for them in such a way that it had him growing hard again between his legs. Ian took out a roll and fed her the first bite, the sounds of pleasure she made had him so hard it became painful for him to walk.

  Luckily the sight he wanted her to see wasn’t far. He led her to the edge of the rocky mountain ledge. “Look down there,” he said gesturing.

  Nora walked out on the ledge and looked down seeing children. Dozens of children running and playing. She pressed her fingertips to her lips. “How can this be? It is too dangerous for them to be together like this.”

  “Look,” Ian said gesturing to the four mountain points. “Two from the human town of Freebasin watch over them, and two of the shifters watch over them. They are a mix of shifter and human children. This way they are both at risk and both have everything to gain by building a foundation of friendship with one another.”

  Nora watched them playing as she ate. The way she was going on about the cinnamon rolls, Ian had to taste them too.

  You taste sweeter, my Nora.

  “Is it my scars that make you draw away from me, Nora?” Ian makes himself ask her at last. “I know that while I may not be much to look at, I would make you a good mate and protector.”

  Nora shook her head and drew closer to him. Her fingers lightly touched over his scars. “It is actually because of these scars I find it easier to speak with you, Ian. I know that you too have been hurt by shifters, even if you are one yourself.”

  “Then it is because I’m a shifter,” Ian stated holding very still so that she would not withdraw her hand from his face.

  “I’m sorry,” she said in a near whisper. “I never thought something like this would be possible. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so lost as I do lately. I don’t want to forget who I am or what happened to my family. What is still happening to so many families.”

  “The Herod pack is gone. Surely the human killing has slowed down. Humans kill each other too, don’t forget the Nothings. Not everything can be blamed on the shifters.”

  Nora’s hand trails down his neck and then over his chest. “It’s harder to believe your own kind will turn on you when there is so much pain already.”

  “Yes.”

  “Do you know the one they call Raffi, Ian?” She asked naming a shifter that was once a member of the pack. He was cast out after endangering the female alpha, Cara. If she was simply just a human wandering and trying to find answers on how to cope with lost loved ones how would she happen upon a name like Rafi?

  Ian nods his head slowly. “He left the Rizer pack last year. Rafi was cast out after he committed betrayal. Tell me, Nora. How do you know of such a name?”

  Nora smiles at him. “I think I heard it in town. People are saying he is making a pack of his own. Have you heard this too?”

  “I have.”

  She’s lying. No one in town ever knew of Rafi. He was cast out before the wall came down. Nora promised Ian she wouldn’t lie and now she has. He is disappointed and wants to confront her but here, in front of the children is not the place.

  He takes her hand and leads her back down the slope only instead of turning back toward town he turns toward Rizer Keep.

  “Where are we going now?” Nora asks once they are back inside the forest.

  “We are going to find out why you are lying to me.”

  She stops walking. The forced laugh that comes out is painful to his ears. “Lying about what?”

  “You’re lying about where you learned the name Rafi. You’re lying about why you’re here. You are going to tell me these answers, Nora and you’re going to tell me the truth.”

  She side steps as though she were going to make a run for it.

  Ian takes hold of the back of her dress and plucks her off the floor giving her ass a smack. Nora kicks and thrashes in the air, angry to have received a swat on the rear end.

  “We’ll start small, shall we?” Ian says. He slides his hand up her dress and curls his hand over her soft downy mound. “Do you like it when I touch you here?”

  Her body was vibrating under his hand. “No,” she growled out. Ian parted her folds and ran his fingers through her wetness. “That’s a lie, isn’t it? Want to try again?”

  “Go to hell, Ian,” Nora said kicking her legs but failing to dislodge his hand.

  “Did you come for me yesterday?” Ian asked dipping his finger into her depths.

  Nora gasped fighting still but breathless. When she couldn’t get herself free she sagged hanging from the waist of the dress. “Yes, Ian. Okay?”

  He was getting lost in the feel of her warmth around his finger and it was difficult to pull away. “And what about this?” He asked returning to her clit and massaging her with wet, hot fingers.

  “Is your goal to humiliate me?” Nora demanded as she began to pant.

  “I’m after the truth.”

  “Yes. It feels good,” Nora glared at him.

  Ian knew he’d made his point and he should stop. He showed her that he could get the truth from her if he so desired. Only he didn’t stop. His cock was still hard as a rock from the night before. His ache stronger than anything he’d ever experienced.

  Turning her he took hold of the front of her dress. His eyes were connected to hers as he slowly peeled down the top. Her breasts spilled free of the tight restraint and he groaned a sound of pure need.

  “Do you want me to touch you here?” he asked trailing his fingertips over the pink buds of her breasts.

  Nora gasped and closed her eyes.

  “Yes or no?” he repeated.

  Her green eyes were blazing when she opened them again. “Yes,” she bit out.

  Ian set her on her feet and pressed his palm over the tenting of his pants. He ran his tongue over the tightening pink nipple and then sucked it greedily into his mouth. Nora was watching him and arching toward his mouth with desire in her eyes.

  “And here?” he asked as he sucked her other nipple deep into his mouth taking as much of her breast as he could fit into his mouth.

  Nora whimpered, “Yes,” as she gripped his shirt.

  “More here?” he growled running his hand through her slit again.

  Nora gripped the front of his pants surprising him. She met his gaze as she slid her hand under his pants and curled her fingers around his cock.

  “Nora, I want you so much, do not tempt me,” he said already worried he would not be able to stop himself. His hips jerked with the strong need pumping his cock through her hold. Nora’s eyes widened at the fee
l of him which seemed to shove him even further from any place he had any control.

  She opened up his pants exposing him to her view. “I’m not sure what to do,” Nora whispered. “The man I was with before, he didn’t touch me like you do.”

  “I don’t want to hear about him, Nora. You do to me whatever you like. If you’re touching me I will love it.”

  Her nervousness seemed to drain away a little at his words. She stroked him up and down his thick shaft with her hand looking at him and marveling at the size of him. When she slowed her strokes and looked at him holding him tighter in her grasp he knew he was in trouble.

  “Do you want to put to push this huge thing inside me?” She asked her cheeks turning a brighter shade of pink.

  “Yes,” Ian answered thrusting upward through her hold.

  “Will you let me do this my way?”

  Ian wasn’t sure what she meant but he didn’t want to force anything on her so he nodded. “However, you want me, Nora. I am yours.”

  “Sit down,” She said. Ian sat straight down. He needed to be inside her and anyway she would have him he wanted her. Nora straddled him. “Will you...” she trailed off her cheeks growing red.

  “Yes, whatever it is yes,” he breathed his whole body tense as he held himself back from pumping upward and into Nora before she was ready.

  Nora bent forward pressing her breasts into his chest. “Touch me. I want to feel your hands and mouth,” her voice quivered giving away how hard it was for her to ask.

  Ian raised up onto his elbows and began to lap at and kiss her breasts. He rubbed his hands down over her back and squeezed her ass. He arched upward a little and the head of his cock stroked through the lips of her wet pussy.

  Nora cried out and then quickly covered her mouth with her hand. “I’m sorry,” she whispered.

  “Scream my Name, Nora. I don’t want you quiet,” Ian told her grabbing onto her hips and pushing the head of his cock up into her pussy. Nora gasped gripping his shoulders.

  She was so tight, he did not want to hurt her. Ian remained still waiting for her to adjust to the size of him.

  Nora reached down grabbing his hips and pulled herself lower down his thick, throbbing cock. Her eyes were on his face and the desire there was so strong Ian couldn’t hold back. His hips bucked upward thrusting into her core.

  “Oh fuck, Ian,” she gasped her nails biting into his sides. “More,” she pleaded.

  He rolled them both to the left putting her on bottom. Ian leaned into her pushing deeper still. Nora cried out again her pussy gripping him so good. Ian tried to slow his movements but his body wasn’t listening to him anymore. His wolf roared in his head.

  She’s ours.

  Ian lifted her knees higher. He sank his shaft in another two inches circling his hips as he did. Nora’s body jerked with the movement.

  “Tell me you want me,” he said. As he pulled back and rocketed back into her.

  “I want you, Ian please.”

  She wrapped her arms around him pulling him all the way down so that her chest was once again pressed tightly against his. He pushed in deeper sinking the last of his cock into her core, his balls slapped against her ass as he drilled pushed into her, over and over again. Rotating his hips he felt her clenching around him again.

  He wanted her to come all over his cock before he filled her with his seed. Reaching between them he circled her clit while he ground into her with ravenous hunger.

  Nora arched up against his chest as her orgasm began to take hold. It was blooming and growing as her voice raised in volume. She screamed his name her body shaking with the intensity of her orgasm. Her pussy clenching his cock and coating him in her slippery heat.

  He gripped her shoulders and sank as deep as he could go in rapid succession claiming her deeper than she’d ever been claimed and pouring his seed into her womb. Growling with each of his thrusts that poured his seeing in heavy thick spurts.

  Nora cried out again her orgasm prolonged by the hot come he was pumping into her in frantic greedy strokes. Ian kissed her eating up her cries of pleasure.

  CHAPTER TEN

  HE’S STILL HOLDING me.

  Nora shivered in his arms as tears burned the back of her eyes. He was showing more care and concern for her than Slade ever had. The way he wanted her it wasn’t just lust, it was passion. Sleeping with him was a mistake. If anything, it only made her trust him more.

  “Are you... regretting lying with me?” He asked his thumb sliding under her eye and catching a tear she didn’t know how he could have seen it. His fingers curled around her chin and turned her face back toward his so that he could look at her.

  “I’m scared,” she admitted to him something she never admitted to Slade or anyone else in the faction. “This isn’t how I thought I would feel.”

  Ian didn’t get angry with her though she wasn’t sure why not. He continued to smooth her hair from her face. “I know you don’t want to care about me, Nora but you have no choice. You and I are meant to be.”

  Nora sat up then with a soft smile on her face.

  He’s a romantic, in a time of nothing but bloodshed and violence. How lost he must feel.

  “How do you come to know what is meant to be, Ian? Are you psychic as well as a wolf?”

  “There is one in our pack who can see glimpses into to the future. She is the healer’s wife, Angeline. She warned me that the woman I was destined to fall for would cause my pack to be angry. Your lack of trust must cause that reaction in them.”

  “Angeline? Did she tell you what I look like? How can you know it’s me she’s speaking of?” Nora climbed quickly to her feet and pulled up the bodice of her dress and she pulled down the skirt.

  Ian caught hold of her ankle. “Where are you going, Alexandra?”

  “I need to go and get some air.”

  “We’re already outside.” Ian stood doing nothing to cover his nakedness. “You are letting your fear guide you instead of your heart.”

  He pulled her back into his arms and kissed her again reminding her just how much his lips against hers melted her into a pool of butter at his feet. She couldn’t stop herself from pressing up against him and feeling his hard chest against her tender breasts.

  “You undo me, Nora. You make me feel like I’ve finally come to life. As if everything before was all preparation for you.”

  Nora swallowed hard. She didn’t know why his words meant so much to her. They shouldn’t. He was the enemy, not her friend, or her lover. “Can you tell me what Angeline said about me?” If Angeline knew the future then she could see what was coming, she’d know that Nora was the one who would betray them, wouldn’t she?

  “Truthfully, I do not know all that she knows of you, Nora. I have been spending most of my time in Freebasin to be close to you. I know only that my pack will struggle to accept you, she said that I would struggle to accept you too.” Ian laughed at that but his words made Nora tremble.

  All the more reason why I cannot fall for the enemy. Ian is my enemy.

  Ian ran his hand up her thigh, squeezing her bare ass beneath her dress. “Where are you going inside that busy mind of yours trying to find a way to push me away?” He grinned as she gasped and let out a moan when his finger brushed against her slick center. “I don’t intend on letting you slip away so easily.”

  Nora found herself clinging to him tightly as if afraid to let go.

  I am afraid to let go. When I do, I’ll have to be me again a traitor instead of the woman who loves Ian’s touch, his words, and his open heart.

  The bell started ringing the sound coming from Freebasin. The ferocious howl Nora now recognized as Darian’s call.

  “Stay here, Nora. I have to go and protect the city with the pack,” Ian said pushing Nora down into a seated position on a fallen tree trunk. “Stay safe.”

  He took off running and when he leaped up into the air Nora watched as his body shifted. His bones moved under his skin, rolling on joints that hu
mans don’t have. Since Nora was present at more than one dissection of a dead shifter she knew just how his bones moved, but she still marveled at the speed in which the shift took place.

  The blond and white wolf looked back at her before racing off.

  Be safe, Ian. Please, be safe.

  Knowing that Ian will track her if she moves, Nora begins to walk deeper into the forest. She pushes back her heavy red hair from her face and neck. It’s hot and her hair is sticking to her skin. The rock mountainside she saw from Freebasin is up ahead.

  If she climbs the rocky mountain she might be able to see what’s going on inside Freebasin.

  “Where the fuck are you going?” Slade’s angry hiss surprises her. “I had to activate your beacon. You were supposed to meet me.” He reaches for Nora but she scrambles up the rocky incline several feet.

  “He can smell it when you touch me and he doesn’t like it,” she says when he starts climbing up to drag her back down. “You can’t touch me.”

  “Fine. That’s fine.” He smiled up at her. “You fucked him then? He’s attached to you?”

  How can he be so happy about me having sex with another man?

  “Yes, I did. It was a lot different than it is with you,” Nora couldn’t help saying wanting to reach out and hurt him like he was hurting her with his indifference.

  Slade’s eyes narrowed slightly but he gave no other indication that he was in anyway distressed. “He’ll trust you now. Does he care about you?”

  “Yes, he does,” Nora said more out of anger than anything else.

  “Perfect. We’ll capture you both, torture you and he’ll give information to us.”

  You want to use his feelings for me against him?

  “...I’ll have to really hit you otherwise he won’t believe it. If torturing you doesn’t work we’ll simply torture him.”

  “You won’t be torturing him,” Nora said beginning to climb back down. “You said it yourself that he’ll tell me more if he cares for me he does. So, you aren’t going to touch him.”

  Slade snorted, “Shit Nora, if I didn’t know you better I’d think you were actually trying to protect a shifter. You’re not getting feelings for this thing, are you?”
