  CHAPTER ONE

  VICTOR

  It was a quiet night on Rizer Mountain. Most of the pack slept back at Rizer fortress while Victor, Ian, Nora, and Kaden patrolled the Rizer pack territory that was over two hundred acres of land and located in what used to be the border between Arizona and Utah. After the shifters came out making themselves known to the humans, war broke out destroying cities, governments, in less than a year.

  The years following took the human population to a new low where they were now the minority on the earth with shifters numbering nearly twice as numerous. Law was enforced only if a person took it upon them self to try and enforce a law.

  Freebasin was different.

  It was a town at the base of the mountain and forest below Rizer Mountain and the humans there made an alliance with the Rizer pack. It still was amazing to Victor to watch his new pack family walk among humans freely without animosity or the need to be on guard.

  This was the town that stood as the sole example of how humans and shifters could coexist. Watching over the town that was continuing to grow was one of the only things that Victor found he could still enjoy doing.

  The Rizer pack, while a great family to be a part of, wasn’t always fun to be around. Not for Victor, anyway. Even now he could hear his two of the pack Ian and Nora a newly mated pair, breathing heavily as they made love.

  Have the decency to go further up the mountain and spare me. Victor thought. They were predestined mates which made their union especially passionate. Half the pack was predestined mated which meant being around them and the strong levels of lust they were sharing with the pack through their connection were miserable to all who did not have a predestined mate.

  Victor felt his case was especially painful considering he had a predestined mate and lost her. He was already heartsick for Nicole Monet, his predestined mate, he didn’t need to be surrounded by sex driven, happy pairs every second to show him what he lost.

  Growling his spirit wolf that shared his human body made known his agreement with Victor’s bad mood and annoyance with his pack. He did his very best to push the image of Nicole from his mind but it was impossible.

  He ran through the forest at the base of the mountain, his wolf spirit guiding him while his human spirit admired the image his mind pushed forward. Nicole had aqua blue eyes that were green around the outer edges and light blue near her pupils. When she was angry, as he often made her, Nicole’s eyes would lock on him like the predator spirit she shared her body with, the tigress.

  Damn that tigress spirit had a way of stirring up Nicole’s temper. She was so full of passion that when she felt anything at all for a person it was strong, there is no halfway with Nicole. He knew that about her and both loved and hated it.

  There were many terrible things that Victor did when he was forced to run with the Herod pack, but if there was one thing in his life that he could change, he would change the way he left things with Nicole.

  What use is there for thinking like this? There is no undoing the past.

  Victor shoved the image of Nicole’s lovely face, long brown hair and tan skin to the back of his thoughts. Instead, he concentrated on the sound of wolves running down the mountain from Rizer Fortress.

  He tilted his head to the side listening to the rhythm of the paws hitting the earth.

  Killian and Angeline are joining the patrol. Great another mated pair to endure.

  Victor leaped over the slow-flowing river seeing the stretch of his silver wolf form in the reflection of the water. He was twice the size he’d been when he met Nicole. Would that make a difference to her now, if somehow, he was able to find her again?

  The hurried pace grew faster sounding more urgent to his wolf ears. Victor turned, starting back up the mountain to check that all was well with the pack.

  He didn’t have to travel far because Killian and Angeline were traveling at their highest speed. Angeline began to shift the moment she saw Victor.

  This can’t be good. The werewolf shifter with the visions is rushing to find me out here? If I was smart, I’d turn around and run the other way.

  Killian too began to shift from his wolf form to that of his human form. The female with the visions looked expectantly at Victor waiting for him to shift from his silver wolf form to that of his human form.

  “Victor, you need to shift. This is important,” Killian the doctor insisted with his hands on his hips.

  Very well.

  Victor rolled his shoulders pushing back the wolf spirit and allowing his own spirit to surge to the front. The silver fur sucked back into the pores of his skin as his muscles and joints began to move and shift under his skin. The cracking and ripping sounds that came with the shift still sounded sickening to Victor even after ten years of being a shifter.

  “Let me tell him,” Killian says to Angeline. He pushes back his black hair and fixes a serious doctor to patient expression on his face as he looks at Victor who is one of the biggest men and wolves in the Rizer pack. Victor is taller than Killian so he’s forced to look up to speak to him since he’s a full foot taller than Killian.

  Victor blinks at him waiting for him to speak.

  Killian squints at him and leans to his left side. “You know Angeline has visions. Right?”

  Victor looks over at Angeline
with her round light blue eyes pinned on him and then back to Killian who shifts his weight again. He doesn’t say anything because it should be obvious that he knows of Angeline’s visions.

  “He knows,” Angeline says giving her husband Killian a pat on the back. “Keep going.”

  “Right. Well, she had one about you. No not about you. It was about the pack. We’re all going to be slaughtered unless you fix things. You can’t fail the pack, Victor. I mean, I just got Angeline all situated and safe so she can have our baby-”

  Angeline put her hand over Killian’s mouth. “Sorry, he’s one track minded ever since I got pregnant. You know who your predestined mate is,” she says pointing at Victor. He’s looking at them both with a slight scowl. They aren’t making much sense.

  “Nicole, right?”

  Victor’s jaw tightens locking tightly.

  “I’m going to take that as a yes,” Angeline says tossing her long white blond hair over her shoulder. “We need to find her and get her back. You need to get her back.”

  “No.” Victor turns and begins to walk toward Freebasin.

  “The pack will be executed if we don’t get Nicole away from her new pack. Besides, Victor, this is your only chance to see her again. Are you really going to pass that up?” Angeline says in the form of a question but her tone sounds knowing to Victor’s ears.

  He turns back toward her. “Nicole will go nowhere with me. In fact, I know she will kill me the moment she sees me. Whatever you saw, Angeline. It must have been a dream.”

  “It wasn’t a dream. She’s with Rafi’s pack. He’s using her, Victor,” Angeline says nodding when Victor fixes her with his disbelief clear on his square face.

  “You’re wrong. Nicole would never allow herself to be anyone’s tool.” Victor flexed his hands open and closed. In truth, he didn’t know what she would do these days. It had been so long since last, he saw Nicole. “She won’t leave a pack that she views as family.”

  Angeline nods. “That’s true but it doesn’t change anything. You have to get Nicole, willing or not.”

  CHAPTER TWO

  NICOLE

  Closing her eyes, Nicole shut out every other sound except the laughter of the children. It was such a melodic, happy, and soothing sound. It made being around so many different kinds of shifters easier.

  “They are so fragile. We should watch over them,” her tigress spirit said within her.

  Nichole kept her eyes closed. She could hear and smell far better than she could see anyway. If anything, threatening was coming she’d know it. Years of solitude made her senses so fine trained that she could feel how many sets of eyes were on her, watching her.

  She knew that Rafi was having the mixed shifter pack make camp around her, always putting her at the center. He was afraid that she would leave the pack. He was wrong. While his strength of authority in his voice was strong enough to command most of the pack, there were some who were unaffected by it. Nicole was one of four who could not be forced to do anything by the alpha.

  The tigress spirit sharing her body bowed to no authority but her own. Rafi told her that this did not bother him because he did not wish to hold anyone prisoner. It didn’t change that he still tried to put as many pack members as he could between herself and any exit.

  Nicole was happy to be around people again. She craved the interaction. Her tigress loved the children and craved having some of her own.

  “Nicole?” Rafi spoke her name. “May I approach?” he asked.

  She opened her eyes but did not look at him. He was standing off to her right. The children were playing games about four yards in front of her. “Yes,” Nicole responded.

  Rafi sat down next to her on the ground. “Are you feeling at home with us yet? You tend to keep to yourself. There are many of us who love you Nicole. I love you, but you know this already. I want you to be happy with us.”

  Nicole smiled at the children. They were playing tag with blindfolds on and using their shifter senses to catch each other. “You ask me this nearly every day, Rafi. What is it you really want to know?”

  “You haven’t mated yet. When you joined the pack last year, you said it was because you loved to see the shifter children playing together.” Rafi paused smiling at the children too. His slanted eyes shrank a little as his cheeks rounded. Rafi turned his smile toward Nicole. “Your aching to be a mother. We can all see it.”

  “He is not our mate.” Nicole’s Tigress spirit complained from within.

  We have no mate. Nicole responded internally to her tigress.

  Nicole forced her body to relax. “I am. Are you volunteering to get me pregnant, Rafi?”

  The startled expression on his face made Nicole laugh.

  “Is this truly what you wish for? I am a wolf, I mate for life.”

  His offer is very attractive because any child they would have would be born with alpha werewolf traits as well as tiger traits. It would be a very powerful shifter which would give the child a greater chance of surviving.

  “I know you have lost everyone that you’ve ever loved. I know that you say you cannot love as any mate would expect to be loved, that your heart is broken.” Rafi reached forward and took her hand in both of his.

  His hands were larger than hers and the texture rough, but warm. It did not touch her soul, or make hear heart sing like she knew it would if Rafi were truly her mate. However, he was patient and he was protective of the pack.

  He would make a good father.

  Rafi, leaned in slowly giving Nicole ample time to pull away. She remained still, even closed her aquamarine blue eyes to invite his kiss. Going year after year, untouched and unloved hurt.

  You can’t hurt me anymore. She thought hoping the words would somehow find her destined mate and dead or alive he’d know she was finished with him.

  Nicole leaned into Rafi meeting his lips with hers. The groan of lust that came from Rafi was an encouraging sign that he enjoyed her touch. The feel of his warmth pressed against her was comforting. Perhaps it didn’t need to be love that brought two people together, maybe this comforting friendship would be enough to form a lasting relationship.

  When Rafi’s hand slid up her arm and curled around her breast, Nicole stiffened. He pressed his tongue into her mouth groaning as his fingers squeezed her breast lightly.

  It was too much.

  Nicole pulled back. When Rafi saw the expression on her face his hand dropped away from her breast. “I’m sorry. You are a beautiful woman. I will remember you need me to go slowly.”

  Breathe.

  Nicole sucked in air and then let it out slowly. His hand was no longer at her breast, in fact Rafi scooted back a few inches and was waiting for her to tell him what she wanted. Another deep breath and slow exhale brought her back to her calm state of mind.

  “Will you let me try again? I can wait until you’re ready. I won’t push you to do more than what you want to do, okay?”

  Nicole nodded because she didn’t know what she should say to Rafi. She would never enjoy his touch but she might get to the point where she could tolerate it. This would give her another chance, perhaps her last chance at having an heir.

  “It is our duty to bring an heir.” Her tigress spirit echoed her own thoughts but it was no less annoying. To silence the nagging that the tigress was certain to begin again, Nicole smiled at Rafi offering him more encouragement.

  The children raced by grabbing Nicole’s attention again. Her blue eyes followed them as they raced about the camp. They might not be her children, but it didn’t change the fact that she loved them and wanted to make certain they were safe.

  Members of Rafi’s mixed pack were drawing in closer. Each of these shifters was either the last members of their families or outcasts. They gravitated to Rafi. Craved his acceptance and attention as the pack leader.

  Their closeness was making her tigress feel closed in, caged. Nicole fought the urge to shift and demand the shifter pack give her more space by allowing her
tigress to spring forth.

  I’ve let you take charge for far too long. You don’t get to push everyone away. Nicole told the tigress.

  “You know that very soon we will be traveling in more dangerous areas,” Rafi said leaning in close and speaking loudly.

  This kind of behavior usually meant he’d already asked her this question more than once but she’d been somewhere else in her mind instead of in the present.

  “Yes, you’ve mentioned this to me several times now. I know what you are going to say next too. You don’t want me to take my run alone.”

  “I worry for you. I know that you are a very strong but you and I both know this world has been cruel to your kind, long before the humans even knew of shifters. You are special, Nicole.”

  Nicole pushed back her shoulder length brown hair. “I can’t always control my tiger. You know this. For the safety of the pack, I go alone.” Standing, she ignored Rafi’s body stiffening.

  He did not like it that she chose to disobey him. “Allow me to follow you this time. I will keep a respectful distance. You will not even know that I am there,” Rafi promised.

  “I’ll know.” Nicole could feel the tigress spirit crouching within her, ready to spring forward. She dashed forward a hundred yards beyond the campsite. The pack was spreading out to try and watch her, to keep an eye on her and make sure she didn’t leave them.

  Her tigress growled within her body, demanding to be set free. Nicole held her back as long as she could, trying to regain more of her strength over the tigress. It was going to take time to get back the control she used to have over the tigress, but she would do it again.

  When she was nearly a mile from the camp she relaxed and the tigress pushed forward as Nicole knew she would. The roar of her tiger always sounded when she shifted. It cleared the trees of birds and told all the animals to take off.

  Her bones shifted over rolling joints, thickening and changing. The teeth of the tigress long and sharp felt more like her teeth than her human teeth because of how long she stayed in tiger form. It was so much easier in tiger form. Hiding from the world as a tiger was no longer an option.
