Repeating Papa’s words like a mantra kept me buoyant enough to not shed any further tears over the situation I found myself in. Nina pushed me to see there were more positives than negatives. The long term joy will surely outweigh this tiny chunk of pain.I’d thrown myself in, I’d trusted, and there was no backing out now. Cillian wanted me to believe in him. I do. I always will. When he called me darling, his sweet, Nina purred in delight. When he called me his little Luna in that husky voice of his, I nearly jumped back onto the table for another round. It made synapses shatter in my mind. Never in my wildest dreams did I think he could bless me with such an endearment. Nina whirled with unsated desire, my iris instantly flaming with gold all over again.My mind was a mix of emotions. I was proud of declaring how I felt. Too often, I sat and watched others make their move. I took a chance and landed on his table. Forcing myself to focus, I created huge batches of brownies and cupc

“So did you tell her?” Franz witters on, asking for the fifth time that day. Checking the map I snap back, “I swear I will throw you out of this truck. No hesitation.”“You should have told her,” he murmured, tapping his fingers to a silent tune on the steering wheel. "She's not stupid."“I’m more concerned about Zeke to be honest,” I replied. “You know Kharkov came to see me, he wants Zeke beaten in public for talking poorly about me in an inn outside of town?”Franz laughed and slapped the wheel, hooting with amusement. “I would love to get back for that! Kharkov dishing out a spanking!” As stupid as it was, I couldn’t help a smile rising, stroking my stubbled jawline. Zeke with his cheeky, expressive face having his ass tanned by the bull-like Beta would certainly be a sight. Franz calmed his giggling down “I guess it means he is doing his job?”“Not subtle enough if people are running back to base to snitch on him,” I shrugged, struggling to work out how the hell people navigate

Lucien was correct. The truck would have been no use. I doubt we would have ever found their location if he hadn’t approached us. Hidden right at the edge of a river lay the most beautiful log cabin. Surrounded by trees and greenery it was a stunning creation.Noticing the shed full of axes, tools and other equipment I tried to open with friendliness. “Did you build this house yourself?”“I did.”“Well it’s very impressive.”He merely grunted. I can take a hint. It doesn't bother Franz who is smirking when the wooden door flies open and the equivalent of a goddess steps out of the door.He literally gasps, like the mate bond has sparked there and then. She's pretty, yes, but she knows it. Long black hair, shimmering under the sunshine like ravens wings. Her eyes are grey, her cheeks rosy, lips plump and she's squeezed into leather pants and a black tank top."Well well," her dark, shapely eyebrows rising with interest. "You two look like trouble.""I don't think that's entirely true,

It’s so dark here. The sun obviously rose but instead of bathing the rooms with light, the huge pines obscured it all. The Cragstone contingent have been given some storage spaces converted into dorms for the proceedings. It reminds me of some kind of twisted summer camp. I am on a cast iron bunk bend with the hefty, blue eyed Rex above me.If it hadn’t been for him complaining to the guy on the next top bunk I would never have even realised it was morning. Pulling the itchy blanket over my head I tried in vain to drown them out.“I hope there's rooms set aside for those who find their mates!”A dirty snicker followed, “you’re saying you wouldn’t want to watch them get down and dirty in here?”“I’m just after a sleep and a bus home,” Rex replied with irritation. His friend sniggered, the creaking sounds of a huge body rolling on the iron bunks making my teeth rattle. “Whatever. I’ve got money on you finding your mate. You best ask Tange about those spare rooms.”“Fuck off Riley-”“Both

Thanks to Zena being one dramatic little wench we had to wait a full day whilst she gathered “supplies.” All of which fit in one small rucksack and half of which I suspected was merely makeup and clothes. Everything she did seemed designed to test my patience. She might have thought herself some kind of seductive minx, I saw her no different to Zeke, an irritating little menace. We set off back to Cragstone the morning after the full moon. Thankfully, Franz was keen to show off to Zena and had absolutely pounded the truck down the dusty roads, as if she would somehow be interested in him again if he drove like a demon. Unfortunately, she still only had eyes for me. “So…Alpha just what were you up to talking to strange women in run down taverns?” she smirked, leaning over from the back passenger seat to whisper in my ear as the truck thundered through the countryside.“I was tracking down the scent of my parents' killers.”“You weren’t looking for a random, anonymous bit of fun?” he

I’m on a terrifying form of auto-pilot. The cheering, the insane rushing noise as everyone squealed at our good fortune was maddening. I was the centre of attention and couldn’t even think straight.Tange held my hand with a grip of steel, keeping me close to him. Nina was whirling around, so thrilled to be close to the wolf the Moon Goddess has chosen for her. His hand was warm, yet the skin roughened by years of working. Calluses grittily rubbed against my softer skin and yet under his touch my fingers curled around his welcomingly./Our mate! Our perfect mate!/ she cried over and over.Nina, I have to reject him. /No! No, we will never know this feeling again if we do that!/ Nina snapped.Is this feeling better than a kiss from Cillian? I chose to love him with my free heart and mind and now I’m meant to jump completely the other way? The way Cillian made me feel when I laid on that table for him. I could live a life with that being my only affection. This mate bond does not have

Franz dropped me and Zena off over ten miles outside of Cragstone. If I had had a wolf to grumble to about the lunacy of this, I'd have been deep in conversation. With only my own silent grumpiness, I follow Zena deep into the leafy forest, following a muddy trail. "Don't mention Zena to anyone," I reminded him."Obviously," he said drily, "see you both in a few hours then."Franz carried on without us in the battered grey truck. His brown eyes were rolling away, and his long brown hair pulled into a high knot. He could catch up and see what is happening at the pack in my absence. Get some truths.Maybe I'm paranoid, but I worry the way things appear when I'm at home is…coddled. Like I'm this Alpha baby who needs soothing or distracting into thinking everything is okay. Plus, Zena had insisted some alone time between us would be good. I had no idea what the hell she thought was likely to happen. I know I don’t require any alone time with her, but seeing as she's my only link to find

The night the mate bond was activated with Tange I didn’t sleep a wink. Not that the small room Briss so kindly lent me was not comfortable. He was truly sweet to have given me his small space.Only a few minutes after I locked myself in, Tange came looking for me anyway. Thankfully Briss was there.“My mate?” he growled. It shamed me but the deep husk of his voice instantly made my thighs clench. Nina begged me to speak, to run to the door and beg him to break the hinges off. I clamped both hands over my mouth instead.“She has asked to be given time to accept the situation Sir,” Briss replied calmly. “She asked for a safe space she could lock herself in with, this seemed an easy solution.”“Your room, indeed Briss, what’s your game here?” There was a possessiveness to his voice that made Nina keen with pleasure but I only clamped my mouth shut tighter.“There is no game. The young lady asked for help. She is only just eighteen-”“I should have been consulted!” and the sound of somet
