"You're a liability."

"But I could be an asset," I tell him. "I know how to navigate the city without being caught. I did it for two years. And if I'm packed up, if you all mark me--"

He whips his head toward me, his eyes narrowed. "No."

"But--"

"Listen, princess," he says. "We're bringing you to the Enclave, and then we're getting you out of Solstice Bay. End of story."

My blood boils. I won't...Ican'tleave without Liam and Phoenix. After what we did together, I refuse.

But I'm not going to tell Mercer that.

I'll bide my time...wait...

And I'll seduce him too.

Then, he won't be able to stop me from staying with the pack.

I'll rescue Jade and Kendra.

I'll join the Enclave myself.

Liam

Wakingupfromarut feels like waking up with the worst hangover of my life. And opening my eyes to find that I'm cuddled up with my best friend...? That really ups the ante.

I sit up straight when I see Phoenix lying across from me, both of us still drenched in Olivia's scent. I process things slowly--that I gave into Olivia, that Phoenix walked in on us, that he joined us...

...and now we're moving.

Mercer must be back.

And he must be fuckingpissed.

I reach out and nudge Phoenix, who's sprawled out on the bed with his dick out. I don't remember exactly what we did during Olivia's heat...but I'm pretty sure we touched each other alotmore than we ever have. As I look at his dick, I find that I'm weirdly okay with it.

As long as Olivia wants it, I'm down.

I'd do anything to turn that girl on.

Phoenix groans and his brow furrows as he blinks his eyes open, green irises landing on me. He frowns for a second--then he joins me in sitting straight up, looking mortified as he yanks the blanket over his cock.

"Fuck," he mutters. "What the...where's Olivia?"

"I don't know," I tell him. "She was gone when I woke up, but given that it's morning and we're on the open ocean, I figure Mercer came back and got us underway."

"Fuck," Phoenix repeats. "Mercer...he's gonna kill us."

I chuckle and scratch my head. "Worth it."

Phoenix frowns. "Are you serious?"

"Don't you think so?"

He goes quiet, looking around. The sheets are rumpled, a single long pink hair stuck to them. Phoenix fixes his eyes on it for a long moment...
