The feel of her hand on his taut skin coazed at his personal submissive

The sudden sting of the needle hurt like hell “Blast!” He growled

“Sorry”

Slade noted the suppression of a smile on her perky kissable lips Her manners, defiant Rude He meant to stand and force her to bow, but blackness ensued

Chapter 2

Cricket closed her laptop and glanced at her watch Two hours had passed since they brought Slade up to his guest quarters While in her own roo olves, she’d kept her ears attuned to any disturbance Ti room of Prince Slade’s suite She pressed her ear to the door Just norhtrumbles

Warner’s powerful drug had done its job Too well No wonder Slade and his shrink didn’t seem to have a close patient to doctor relationship From what Rylee told her, Dr Warner requested the prince stay at his private clinic in Maine, but Rylee and Conan, the lycan king had denied it Probably for security reasons His isolated Maine territory didn’t have the armed forces to offer the prince protection while he suffered fro olf of the Yukon pack, Slade must continue his line Dr Warner would see hi at the end of the week Why was Warner not hanging around to e until he healed?

Cricket sighed

Cricket licked her lips What woly join the pack just to wake up to the yummy hunk?
