would like to see them both dead.

Arianna’s bliss couldn’t be any greater.
    She was snuggled up with Jak, under the covers of their too-small cot, all tangled limbs and happy afterglow from their lovemaking. Her submission bond to him was an absolute wonder to her. Unlike her bond to Mace, which always fuzzed out her mind and her will, her submission to Jak was a warm comforting blanket wrapped around her mind, calming her and lifting her up. It was magic filled with love, and with it, she felt that anything was possible. They had escaped Mace, and Jak had lived! If that wasn’t defying the impossible, she didn’t know what was. Even though she wasn’t free of Mace’s mating bond, it had become buried under her love for Jak and the fresh strength of her submission bond to him. She wished she could be free of Mace forever, of course, but if this was all she could ever have—this hot shifter by her side, loving her, commanding her with his sexy growl voice—it would be enough.
    Jak snuggled closer to her side, burying his face in her neck and dropping delicious kisses there. If he was ready for more lovemaking, she was more than ready to help him out with that. Her hand floated over the rippled muscles of his chest, traveling down to his stomach. He groaned when she reached his cock, which was just growing stiff again.
    She would be happy to help with that, too.
    Just as she started to burrow under the blanket, eager to take him in her mouth and hear his moans of pleasure, a chirp started sounding in their room. Jak groaned, but in frustration this time, and his gentle hands stopped her progress. The sound was coming from the pile of clothes Sarra had brought in from the car. Jak dug through it and came up with his phone.
    He frowned, swiped a few things, then stabbed at the face of it. “Shit.”
    Arianna frowned and sat up, gathering the blanket around her. “What’s wrong?”
    He gave her a mournful look, tapped off the phone, and tossed it back in the pile before answering her. Then he came back and took her in his arms, pulling her close, her back to his chest. He snuggled his face through the mop of hair on the side of her head, nuzzling her cheek. She thought he might not answer her at all, until he finally said, “We have to talk, my love.”
    She turned in his arms to face him, touching his cheek with the tips of her fingers and gazing into his eyes. They were so serious, it make her stomach clench. “No matter what it is, I will always be yours.”
    His shoulders dropped with that, and the look in his eyes made her heart glow. He took her cheeks in his hands and kissed her gently. Once. Twice. When he pulled back, the serious look had returned.
    “I have something to tell you that…” He paused. “I’m not sure if it’s real or not, but you deserve to know.”
    “What is it?” Her hands found his, holding them even though the two of them were only inches away.
    “The people who sent the bounty hunters after you. I think they might be your family.”
    Her eyes went wide. Her brothers were trying to rescue her. It was foolish and crazy and reckless… and just the kind of thing Marco would do, especially now that he was the alpha of their family, since their father died.
    Arianna grinned. “That’s great!” She glanced to his phone. “We have to call them.”
    Jak bit his lip and dropped his gaze.
    “What?” Arianna asked, her heart sinking.
    The look in his eyes was so gentle. “I said I think it might be your family. I’m not sure.”
    She frowned. “But it doesn’t matter. Thanks to you, I’m free now.” She smiled wide. “Kalis will be so happy. And my mom…” She stopped, choking up. “Oh, Jak, I’ve missed my mom so much.”
    Jak looked pained, like her every word was stabbing into him. Which she didn’t understand at all, but she knew he wanted nothing but the best for her.
    She tamed her smile and reached for his face. “Tell me, Jak. I don’t understand. Why is this
