Eclipsed Empire (The Wolves of Crescent Creek, #2)

by Tessa Hale

“Her body is a map of her life, telling me everything she’s been through to get to me. To us.”

“Wren. Little Warrior. Mate. I swear my devotion to you and only you. Where you lead, I will follow. What you need, I will provide. My life is yours to do with as you will.”

Annoyance flitted through me. Even my damn cat was in love with Wren. The worst part? I didn’t blame her or any of them.

“Did you give them…swirlies?” Wren shrugged and straightened her corset. “Bullies should get the bully treatment.”

“I highly recommend swirlying your enemies and finding five loves of your life.” The stranger’s jaw dropped. “Five?” Wren nodded, smiling wide. “Five is the perfect number.” “Shit,” she mumbled. “I gotta start collecting.”

“Is it so bad that I prefer the quiet of home?” I patted his shoulder. “No, but it’s good for you to get out once in a while. Remember, there’s a whole world out here.” “The whole world’s stupid,” he mumbled.
