"Please tell me something." Lacy trailed a finger along his cheek, looking into his eyes, giving him her sexiest look.

One corner of his lips curled into a breathtaking smile. "And what's that?"

"Why do you want me as your mate?" Lacy asked sweetly.

He returned her sweet smile. "I don't... yet." He let out a long, slow breath and looked deeply into her eyes. "I want to try out the merchandise first." Then in one swift movement, he threw her over his shoulder and headed toward the stairs.

"Oh, no you don't!" Lacey yelled, beating against his back with her fists, which didn't have any effect on him at all. "Put me down!"

Everyone laughed and parted the way for Julien. He held her over his shoulder with one arm going up the stairs with Lacey screaming the whole way. "Let go of me, you brute! Let me go!"

He stopped halfway up the stairs. "Shut up unless you want me to throw you over."

Lacey gasped. "You wouldn't!"

"Try me," he said, and Lacey could hear the smile in his voice.

"Ugg!" Lacey groaned as he started back up the stairs.

"Which way to her room?" Julien asked someone at the top of the stairs.

Lynette laughed. "That way." Then she pointed down the hallway.

"Oh, no you are not!" Lacey resumed beating against his back.

"Oh, yes I will!" Julien yelled, walking purposefully down the hallway as everyone moved aside. Then he kicked open her door, threw her onto the bed, and then closed and locked it.

The Alpha's Companion

Lacey pushed herself harder through the mountains, needing to run. Then she caught the scent of a herd of elk and slowed. Lacey crouched low, eyeing her prey, but then caught the scent of something else. Something big.


"Grrrowwwaaallll!" She knew that sound well... and it was right behind her.


Lacey’s head snapped up as a low, guttural growl erupted from deep inside her chest. For behind her was a huge, black bear. "Why not?" Lacey thought, knowing she needed to work off some steam.


The black bear rose on its hind legs and growled loudly again, staking its claim on the territory. However, when Lacey rose to her feet, revealing her massive size, the bear turned and started to run... but Lacey was faster.
