Three Mates for Judith
When Judith Lutterworth’s father, Lewis, tried to have her murdered, the three Meyer brothers, Naftali and identical twins Nelson and Nahum, determined to not just save her, but to choose her for their mate. Simply keeping her safe turned out to be a lot harder than they’d expected. First the pack hid Judi and her mom, Cherise, up on the pack lands for winter. But as soon as they came back to town Lewis and his gang were after the women and their possessions again.
Nahum, Nelson, and Naftali couldn’t romance Judi surrounded by security guards, or under her mother’s watchful gaze. And they dare not take her out alone because of the danger from her father. It takes effort and ingenuity, but kitchen gadgets can be turned into dungeon toys, and by sleeping in her bed they were certain she was safe. But would they ever have the freedom to romance and love her properly the way she deserved?

Chapter One
No matter how hard she tried, Judith Lutterworth couldn’t relax. She wanted to loosen up and enjoy being with the half sister she’d never even known about until two days ago, but she couldn’t.
Judi found herself constantly twisting around watching out the rear window of the bright red minivan, searching for cars that might be tailing them. Or she sat hunched against the window, staring down every crossroad and behind every group of trees, looking for a car hiding behind them ready to attack them.
Her sister, Elsie Parker, patted her arm gently. “Zebulun’s friends will ensure you’re safe. You need to trust the pack to care for you.”
“My brain trusts these men to get us out of trouble should someone attack us. I know Brayden outdrove the men who captured me. My brain tells me the red paint on the van and the black wigs on our heads should make us invisible to anyone looking for a blonde in a white minivan. But I can’t stop worrying no matter how hard I try.”
“Do you play chess?” asked Elsie, picking up a cardboard box with what appeared to be a couple of children’s games in it.
“I was taught how at school, but that’s a long time ago now.”
“Play a game with me. Chess is excellent training in logic and clear thinking. It’ll help you get your life in order again.”
Judi just stared at her. She was pretty sure nothing would ever get her life in order again. It’d basically been shattered into a billion pieces by the events of the past few days. First, she’d thought her parents were reconciling and that her dad was planning a special treat for her mom. Then she found out her father had actually hired two criminals to murder her. It was just pure good luck that they weren’t willing to kill her and, instead, had just decided to kidnap her and hide her away.
But the real worry was finding out what her father had in mind to do to her mom. Was he going to kill her to claim her money? Because the money had belonged to Judith’s maternal grandfather. It had never belonged to her father, and her mother had never changed her will to make her husband her heir. He must think that he’d get it, though, if he got rid of both women.
It didn’t matter that the authorities knew all about her father’s plot. All that mattered was Judi’s need to be back with her mom and get them both somewhere safe. Not that she had the faintest idea where safe would be. Zebulun had promised her a home on his pack’s land and had told her of the tight security there. But it was fall, and the concept of being snowed in on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for months on end really didn’t appeal to her. She could ski, but she’d never been interested in snow sports, so six months of the white stuff was about five months too much in her opinion.
Right now she, her half sister, and her half sister’s three men, were on their way back to Ohio where she and her mom would have to decide what to do next and how to be safe from her father. If they weren’t attacked and killed before they even arrived.
Judi shook off her thoughts and concentrated on her game. Elsie let her go first and gave her a two-pawn advantage. Judi had a vague idea she should be insulted by that judgment on her ability as a player, but she shrugged it off. Beating her half-sister at chess was one way to pass this long road trip.
An hour later she was surprised when the minivan pulled into a truck stop and Favian, who was driving, parked near the diner. “I’ll gas up the car while you all order food,” he said.
Judi looked back at the chessboard. “Lunch would be nice. I’m sure there are still moves I can make, but I can’t see them. I concede the game to you, Elsie.”
“When we get back to the car, we’ll swap pieces and see if you can stop me from beating you.”
“What? You’re saying I can win from this position?”
“I’m saying I think I could beat you from that position.”
Brayden laughed. “She’s a good player, Judith. Elsie, bring the board in with you. Maybe we can help Judith defeat you while we wait for our meals.”
Judi looked around the truck stop as she got out of the car. “Are you sure this is safe?”
“No one will attack you with the three of us here to look after you,” said Amory.
“Four,” contradicted Elsie, glaring at Amory.
Judi hid a giggle. Amory was the Alpha of the Yooper panther pack, and these three men, Amory Willard, and his brothers Favian and Brayden, were determined to mate her sister. Elsie was definitely strong enough to manage them all. No one would dream of walking all over Elsie. Judi wished she was as strong as her sister. Then she straightened her spine.
I can learn to be strong. My father isn’t going to kill me or Mom. I won’t let him get away with it. I’ll take advice from the pack and organize a safe place for us all, although the idea of being snowed in for months on end really, really doesn’t appeal to me. But it’s better than him killing Mom.
