Damn

I kissed her. Christ, I kissed her and now I don't know what to do. She's just . . . so damn beautiful, and when she looks at me, I--

Shit. I'm doing it again. Trying to rationalize my own incompetence. This is going to be more difficult than I thought.



But what the hell else am I supposed to do when I can smell her desire? It rolls off her in waves, impossible to ignore. She tries to hide it. But there's only so much one man can take.

I know I shouldn't be thinking about her desire, her lips, her skin... She's Keira Covington, for Christ's sake.



She's not afraid of me and I've got no friggin' clue as to why. I kidnapped her and here she is, gazing at me like I'm some kind of flavor of the week. Maybe she's pretending. Biding her time until she can escape--making me guess at her intentions. I've heard of a woman "faking it", but how she be faking the spicy scent of desire?

Jesus, I can't do this anymore! I have to take her back to Dallas before I do something I'm gonna regret. But now, I'm lost in the middle of the goddamn Texas desert.

This just keeps getting better and better.

What the Hell is Going On?

I've been abducted. I don't know by who, I don't know why, all I know is, I'm bound and gagged like some animal in the back of a foul-smelling Humvee. My abductor seems nervous about something, always peering into his rearview mirror, as if looking for pursuers. What is he thinking? He's got to know I'm the daughter of Senator Clive Covington.




He's going to get himself into a lot of damn trouble if he doesn't rethink what he's doing. But he seems familiar to me, and for the life of me, I cannot figure out where I've seen him before. But I know it's been a long time, and my memory isn't always so great. Hopefully, I'll remember who he is, and maybe then I'll be able to understand why the hell he abducted me from the parking lot of the Channel 6 News.

He seems as if he has at least some kind of moral compass. He's told me more than once he won't harm me. But I've witnessed his eyes flash a strange gold color, something I'm sure no other person on the face of this earth can do. Maybe I merely imagined it, but I could have sworn his eyes glinted a different color when he stared at me in the rearview mirror.



I cannot believe I'm bound and gagged in the back of a truck, no doubt somewhere on a remote highway, thinking my captor is a good-looking man. Is something wrong with me? Perhaps it's the feelings of familiarity I have toward him that's making me even think it. Perhaps it's the way his eyes soften when he looks at me, regardless of their changing color.

Oh God, he's pulling over now. He's going to make me more comfortable. What should I do, run? Or try to get on his good side? I hope, for my own sake, I don't make the wrong decision...

He Will Hear Me Roar

I don't care what anyone says, that bastard Covington is gonna pay. And he's gonna pay dearly. I can barely live with myself any more. How the hell can you look at yourself in the mirror when you know you're nothing better than a goddamn animal?

B*E*A*S*T* turned me into a cougar and Clive Covington is the bastard who funded the whole damn thing.



Noah and Rogan don't want to touch him. I can't understand that. Why the hell not? We know he's behind this whole friggin' thing. I say we take the mother out! Who gives a flying rat's ass if he's a United States Senator? I sure as hell don't. He's not untouchable.

What do I have to lose? B*E*A*S*T* stole me from my life. The man I used to be is legally dead. I DON'T EXIST. Who better to take Covington out than one of the very shifters he created?

I know how I'm going to get to him, too. Covington has a daughter. Her name is Keira.



This is almost too easy. Hit the bastard where it hurts.

There's just one problem. I don't hurt women.

She's Covington's daughter, and that makes her the enemy. But she's so damn beautiful, it's hard not to be swayed by it. Besides, I won't hurt her per se, I'm merely going to kidnap her for insurance. Make sure that old bastard will "talk" to me. Then, when his defenses are down, I'm going to rip out his throat.

These damned erotic dreams I'm having are my own friggin' problem.
