LYRA

I jumped on a bus heading down the river to a place called Ruswarp. It wasn’t that much different from Whitby except for not being directly on the coast, but it did have one serious advantage, and its name was Hazel Cox.

My nerves ramped up again as I got off the bus and walked along the river where, in summer, people took little row boats out for fun. I’d been on one of those things many a time since I arrived in Whitby and through a series of ridiculous events—fuelled by good old ale and a touch of tequila—became friends with Hazel.

I could see her now as I approached the small building where people could rent the boats. Hazel’s many braids were piled on her head, a knot of purple and red, and the freckles dotted across her pale brown cheeks were practically invisible now the sky had gone overcast. She spotted me as I came to the shed and raised a hand, her smile as big as the sun. It faded a bit when she saw my gloomy expression but not much; Hazel was like that, always in a good mood. God knows why we were friends.

“What’ve you done now?” she asked, hooking me around the neck to draw me into a lemon-scented hug. I got the straps on my jacket tangled up in the fringing of her denim dungarees—dungarees with fringing, who knew?—and snarled as I tried to get disentangled.

“Nothing,” I said defensively, freeing myself of the dread fringing. “Why do you assume I’ve done anything?”

She just levelled me with a look.

“Fine, it’s usually my fault. But this time… Look, can we talk?”

I heaved a sigh and spat it out. “Cas wants to be my mate. And he wants Gray and Jack to be my mates too. He says it’s the only way to protect me from the lone wolves hunting me because of the pulse of red power, and because I’m in season.”

Hazel just blinked. “Try again, and slower this time.”

I explained everything fast enough that I forgot to draw breath but she got it by the second time around. Her mouth pressed into a thin line. I thought it was at the seriousness of my circumstances until she said, disbelieving, “Are you seriously complaining to me because three super-hot men want you to be their woman? Lyra.” She grabbed my shoulders and shook me. “Three guys. Crazy sexy. Who all want you to be with all of them. What’s the problem?”

I scowled at her with all my attitude and she grinned back at me, refusing to let go. I managed to keep it up for all of eight seconds before I slumped and said, “I don’t want it go wrong. I can’t lose them, Haze.”

“Oh, Baby Cub,” she sighed, dragging me into her arms. I snarled at
