Denied for 18 years, Grace finally got the approval of her father, Alpha Dean, to take a vacation. She had never left the safety of the Black Hallow Pack. What her father didn't know, she never had plans to return once her vacation was over. Grace had a secret that even her father didn't know about, and never planned on telling him. However, any plans she thought she had came to a quick halt. Grace had a knack for getting into unfavorable situations and that included her first night visiting the Boone Valley Pack. The bar fight might not have been her fault but the last thing she expected was to be handcuffed. To make matters worse, the person that came to collect them from the human police was her mate. How will her mate react to meeting her for the first time, while being handcuffed? Will he rescue her from the claws of her father? The biggest question, can he keep her safe once her secret gets out?

Do you want me to start crying and cling to you? Do you want me to ask you to never leave my sight and become a scared little girl?”“No. I want you to realize how dangerous this situation is.” Ethan’s anger was starting to grow, but he was trying to keep himself level headed. Putting my hand on his face, I watched as his body physically relaxed under my touch. “I do fully understand the gravity of the situation, but I am a firm believer in not getting worked up over something we know nothing about. I’m not going to tuck my tail and run at the tinest bit of danger. If I did that, I would have been home already before I even met you.” “You got to let the jelly fish go,” Callie said to me. I couldn’t contain the smile that spread across my face, but I kept looking into Ethan’s eyes. His were searching mine for any trace of a lie. “
Stomping back, I was ready to give Ethan more of an ass chewing. “The fu-” I started, but stopped when I realized it was Callie and Damon. “A-are you okay?” Callie looked into my room to see if anyone else was there. “Fucking peachy.” Turning instantly, I went to the bathroom to change. “What happened?” Callie yelled through the door. “He’s your fucking brother. What do you think happened?” “Oh, boy.” I heard Callie sigh. There was some whispering, but I couldn’t make it out. As soon as I was changed, I walked out. “Ready to go lay out?” I asked in a more calm voice. Damon was missing. “I am.” Callie gave me a small smile as I walked past her. “How’s your head?” Turning, I waited for her to shut my door, but Ethan and Damon came out of his room at the same time. Neither one of them said anything, but I could feel Ethan’s eyes on my body. The cover up did little to hide what I was wearing. “It’s my ears that hurt.” I grumbled. “They are bleeding really from listening to so muc
“Nothing. I have already dealt with my internal battle. I told you about my issues of your safety. I’m scared shitless, but the more I spend time with you, the more I’m falling for you. I’ve developed these feelings for you and each time we are together, they strengthen. I stopped fighting my natural feelings.”“You are ready to, mate?” I was shocked to even hear him say these things.“Yes, but we will wait until you are ready.” Ethan didn’t have an expression on his face. As hard as I tried to read him, it wasn’t happening. I didn’t say anything but I must have had a look on my face. “What’s wrong?”“Just feels so anticlimactic. I always imagined it would happen the night we found each other and it would be magical, but we are just deciding to mate. Like it is a job position.”“We will do it when it feels right. Not when we are told to do it, and I will happily stand up for us. I have no problem pissing off anyone who thinks differently.”“Okay.” “Grace, we will continue to learn fr
“Whatever makes my mate happy...” Ethan sighed.“In that case, make my headache go away, get me chocolate cake and I want a back rub.” Pushing my plate away, my eyes met some girls that were looking at us and laughing. “Ready to go?” Ethan ignored my last comment.“Yeah.”“What do you guys have planned?” Callie asked.“We have some things to discuss and have a quiet evening. Watch a movie and relax.” Ethan said as I stood up.“Have fun.” She had a big smile on her face. “Night, LUNA!” the girls yelled. I smiled and waved at them as Ethan put his hand on my lower back and let me walk first. A few others said bye as we passed, but when we got on the elevator, I could finally breathe a sigh of relief.“It wasn’t that bad.” Ethan shook his head.“It was more of the quiet this offers.”“Damon said you looked like you were in pain.” Ethan muttered.“What? You had him watching me?”“Not exactly, but he is being rather protective.” “Oh?”“Yeah, he wants this to work. Apparently, I’ve been
“How are you feeling?” Callie was across from me.“Headache from hell, but okay.” “I’m sorry. I really wasn’t trying to do that.”“It’s okay. I’m really not upset.” Shaking my head, I took a sip of water. “How do you like her tattoo?” Callie asked Ethan.“I only looked at it briefly at the hospital, but it looked good.” Ethan was still pissy with his sister. “Come on, you can’t stay mad at me!” “I can and I will.” He narrowed his eyes at her.Callie crossed her arms and pouted, but Alpha John stood up. “Thank you all for coming. We have an exciting announcement to make.” Alpha John looked over at Ethan.“You okay?” He looked at me and asked.“Sure.” I shrugged. He frowned, but stood up and adjusted his shirt.“Some of you are aware, but we wanted to let the pack know I have finally found my mate!” He sounded so cheerful and the entire dining room erupted in cheers. As much as I tried not to cringe, the noise was a lot for my headache. My eyes closed for a second for me to open th
“Whoa!” It was Damon.“Ow...” I whined. Damon picked me up bridal style and carried me to the car. “I’m sorry. Alpha John wants you in his office. Ethan will meet us there.” “Okay. Just get me Tylenol, please.” I sat back as he got in the front and drove to the pack house. It was a short drive, but it saved me from walking.“For what it’s worth, I think he is getting more pissy because he is starting to really care. The thought of losing you is making him act irrational. Now he wants you. He is scared of you.” Damn said before getting out and opening my door to help me stand.“Maybe he needs some Midol.” I groaned as we walked. “Tattoo looks good.” Damon said as we walked up the stairs. He kept an arm around me so if I fell, he would catch me. “Thank you. I really like it.” We made it to Alpha John’s office, but Ethan wasn’t there yet. “Grace, are you okay?” He asked as Damon sat me down.“I’m fine.” I said and looked at Damon.“Ethan is bringing it.” He leaned against the wall a
“GRACE!” The sparks on me told me it was Ethan. I was still crying. “Baby, you’re okay. Please be okay!” I didn’t respond, but curled into him. Grabbing his shirt, I just buried my face and tried to collect myself.“Did you sleep with her, too?” I finally whispered.“No. I didn’t. I wasn’t going to. I put you on my lap to show you and her I wasn’t interested.” Ethan pulled back my face. He was holding me like a child. “Is this how this is going to be? I’m going to have to fight off all these horny she-wolves?”“When we make the announcement tonight. I’ll put a warning out that all attempts will be punished severely.” Ethan pushed some hair out of my face, but stopped when I flinched. Pulling his hand back, there was blood on it.“Callie!” I yelled.“I’m okay!” She yelled. “You okay?”“Yeah... I think.”Ethan sat me up and looked at my head. “There is some glass here.”“Wonderful. Just pull it out.”“No, you will go to the hospital.” Ethan sat down beside me. Grabbing his face, I kis
Ethan: good luck, beautiful. Me: thanks.“Grace!” I got up and went over to her. It took three people to put the transfer paper on me. Using my pictures, she positioned it on the side of my knee and wrapped each part around my leg. Slowly, they peeled it off. I looked at it as they did it. “How does it look?”“Amazing. You did amazing at capturing it!” I was blown away by how accurate it was. “Great, have a seat and we will get started.” Anson said. Getting on the chair, she got the supplies out.“Turn to your left a little... Perfect.” Doing as she said, she cleaned my leg and got started. “Here we go.” As soon as the needles went in, I was shocked.“Well, shit.” I said as she stopped and got more ink.“First one?”“Yeah.”“Are you okay?”“Yes, ma’am.”Pulling out my phone, I texted Ethan. Me: shit hurtsEthan: ha! TherapeuticTaking a picture, I sent it to Stella. Capturing it, tattoo time! Me to Ethan: sure, let’s go with thatStella: holy shit! Wish I was there! How is it?Me
Knock! Knock! “Grace!” Callie’s voice filled my room as I opened my mouth to respond to Ethan. “Oh! I’m sorry, I can come back?” She looked at our body language and knew she had interrupted. “No, it’s okay.” I said, as Ethan walked out of the bathroom and out of my room. “I’m sorry...” Callie looked sadly at the open doorway. “Ready to go?” I asked, grabbing my purse. “Yeah, let’s grab breakfast.”“Here or...”“No, somewhere with fried foods.” Callie rubbed her stomach. “Can you drive?”“Of course.”“Thanks.” Callie still looked ragged, so I had a feeling we were staying home this evening. Walking out of my room, I was able to lock it before she hit the elevator button.The elevator dinged, and we could get on, but she looked even more questionable. “Are you going to throw up?”“Maybe.” Callie gave me a look. Thankfully, the elevator was fast. Callie ran straight out of the pack house and threw up in the bushes. I made it just in time to see Damon shake his head before walking up t
