from the east,” Luna stated, staring in that direction. She tilted her head, listening as we all followed her gaze.
“Friend or foe, Luna?” Sabine asked softly as if she feared they would hear her.
“Silly sister,” I chuckled darkly. “They’re all foe.” I watched the dark highway behind us and then narrowed my gaze as headlights finally came into view.
Luna sniffed the air and smirked generously. “I smell men, and nice smelling ones at that. Alpha wolves or something else similar to the genetic makeup. I smell raw power and violence in the air that screams of danger. Eight men or so,” she said, sniffing once more before nodding. “I’m thinking foe.”
“But we like men,” Aine said as her own nose lifted, inhaling deeply. “Especially ones that smell like these creatures. Meow, mommas, get ready. Get your game faces on.” She fluffed her hair and fixed her breasts before speaking again. “Definitely foe, but I can use some hate fucking about now.”
“How do you know they’re foe?” Sabine asked, worrying her lip between her teeth as she waited for their answer.
“Easy, Aria just said they’re all foe,” Luna snorted, rolling her eyes as she adjusted her breasts and compared hers with her twin, Aine’s. She withdrew a tube of lip gloss, slathering it on her lips as we all studied her prepping for sex.
“You guys are disturbing sometimes,” I muttered.
I reached up, hooking my silver hair behind my ears, not that it would help with the wind howling around us. I didn’t need a mirror to know my eyes would be bluer than green with the lack of sleep I’d had in the last twenty-four hours. I’d had nightmares and had given up trying to sleep at the thought of returning to this place.
The car’s pulled up, aiming high-beams directly at us. It forced those who were sensitive to light to cover their eyes as it shined over us. I silently inspected the men unloading from the black SUVs, moving toward us in a dark, lethal way that couldn’t be concealed, no matter what mask of civility they’d donned to enter this realm.
My eyes locked onto the tallest male, inspecting him as muscles pushed against the shirt he wore. He was a good head taller than the others. Power exuded from him, pushing against my flesh as he reached up and pushed light brown hair away from his face. Ocean-colored eyes slid over the lot of us before they moved back to me, lifting his nose, inhaling our scents.
“You’re unwelcome here. Leave, and you can live; stay, and you die,” he announced with an accent I couldn’t place. He was sex in the purest form, and even I couldn’t tear my eyes off him—or couldn’t until Kinvara snorted.
“Is that how you welcome ladies to town?” she asked, her pheromones filling the air to tempt him to her. Hussy.
“I won’t ask again, ladies.”
“You don’t have the authority to tell us to leave,” I said, pulling his lethal glare back to me and off of my sister. I crossed my arms over my chest, daring him to tell me I was wrong. When I got mad, I dug my heels in deep and didn’t give an inch of room for anyone to push me around.

He smiled coldly, studying my face while I did the same to him. His power wrapped around me threateningly. It was debilitating power that tightened around my throat, causing the hair on my neck to rise in warning. The smirk on his sinful mouth told me he had done it on purpose, knowing it wasn’t something that could be ignored. His intense gaze swallowed me whole, drowning me slowly as it beckoned me into the deep waters, white-capped waves that promised to consume me.
“Oh, but I do, little girl,” he chuckled darkly. “I am the king here. That means I hold all the power over any who enter Haven Falls and my jurisdiction,” he snorted, stepping closer to where I stood, silently taking him in. He stopped mere inches away from me and sniffed the air again.
