It seems that every autumn, there’s a random day or two that’s unseasonably warm, a little glimpse back at summer. Today is one of those days- the sun is shining, the air is hot, and in a surprise twist, the afternoon training sessions were called off for recruits and squad members alike. We’re all at the swimming hole instead, and I’m not sure who pulled this thing together, but it’s turned into a real party- there’s kegs of beer, endless plastic cups, and a speaker playing music.
Whether the squad leaders knew we all needed a break or some rogue squad members took charge of planning this impromptu gathering, it has drawn quite a crowd- there’s a sea of bodies both in the water and on the bank, girls clad in skimpy bikinis and cutoff shorts and guys outfitted in nothing but board shorts showing off their muscular chests. The water in the swimming hole is cold, but nobody that’s swimming seems to mind as they splash abou
C.J. PrimerI got carried away with the length on this chapter, so I had to split it in two. This one is still extra-long, but it's the first of a two parter now- stay tuned for the second half tomorrow, from Jax's POV!

JAXLife at the complex is so structured that occasional days like this are necessary to boost squad morale and maintain our sanity. We put it to the squad members and recruits as a last-minute thing, but in truth, me and the other squad leaders have been planning this for a few days now. At our meeting earlier this week, Theo pointed out how unseasonably warm it was going to be on Saturday, and from there the idea for an ‘impromptu’ party at the swimming hole started to take shape.This isn’t the first time we’ve done this, so it didn’t require a whole lot of planning on our part. All we really needed was a hot day, a big speaker for music, and booze. It’s not easy to get the kegs out here- the owner of the Goldenleaf bar drives them out on an ATV, and then me and the guys have to haul them the rest of the way from the trail down to the swimming hole. It’s worth the inconvenience, though

QUINN My blood runs cold as I hear the sound of somebody nearby clearing their throat. I’m in Jax’s arms- he’s holding me tight, his dick still seated inside of me. We just had hot, dirty sex up against a fucking tree and evidently someone saw us. This is it. The moment the other shoe drops; the moment we get caught. The moment it all ends. I’m not ready. For a second, it’s like time stands still. We both freeze, our bodies going rigid as our eyes meet. Silver flecks swim in the pale blue of his irises, his wolf rising up in response to the perceived threat. My own wolf responds, clawing her way forward. Neither of us moves. Neither of us breathes. Dread coils in my gut as I tear my gaze from Jax to peer past him, in the direction the sound came from. My eyes land on a tall male form a few yards away- he’s got his back turned to me, and it’s covered in tattoos. “Uh… Quinn?” Loga

JAX“Hey stranger,” Quinn greets, closing her car door with a hip and flashing me a bright smile. “Where are you off to?”I slow to a stop in front of her little blue car, twirling my truck keys around a finger and trailing my eyes down her body appreciatively. “Back home to Westfield. Sunday dinner with the fam.”“Ah, how exciting.” She props an elbow on the roof of her car, leaning against it. “Does your family do that every week or something?”“Oh yeah,” I chuckle. “Their way of checking in with me, I guess.”“That’s nice,” Quinn says, and it’s not in a sarcastic way- there’s an earnestness in the way she says it, almost like she’s envious of my family’s weekly ritual. “Well, have fun.” She gives me a little wave, turning to head for the complex.I don’t kno

QUINN I shouldn’t have gone home with Jax for Sunday dinner. I knew it from the moment he asked, saying it wasn’t a big deal for him to bring a friend home for dinner- because we’re not friends, not really. I knew it from the moment I stepped foot in his house and met his family- all of whom are lovely and warm and welcoming. I knew it from the moment his little sister said he’d never brought a girl home before, and I knew it when we got cozy on the couch and lost track of time. I shouldn’t have gone, because it took this thing between us across some invisible line, and now I’m not sure if we can go back. I’ve had an unsettled feeling since, like we can’t leave things this way. We need to get back on track, back to the way things are supposed to be between us. Back to simple and uncomplicated. That’s why I send Jax a text shortly after we return to the complex, telling him to leave his door unlocked. I don’t even wait

JAX Waking up with Quinn in my bed is something I could get used to. She looks so damn cute in the morning with her sleepy eyes and disheveled hair, begging for ten more minutes. I snooze my alarm and she lets me hold her for a little while longer, savoring every second she’s in my arms until it goes off again and she begrudgingly forces herself to sit up. I guess we broke the rules last night- we said we wouldn’t risk sleepovers, but here we are. No regrets. “Good morning, beautiful,” I rasp, stroking Quinn’s back. “How’d you sleep?” She looks down at me, a sleepy smile gracing her lips. “Not as well as you,” she teases, ruffling my hair. “I don’t remember you snoring so loud last time.” “What?” I blink, moving to sit up beside her. “No way, I don’t snore!” “You do too,” Quinn giggles, reaching out to cup my jaw in her palm. “Come to think of it, I’ve never actually seen your wolf… you sure you

QUINN “Maybe it’s time we tell Theo about us.” I stare at Jax, blinking. Did I just hear him correctly? This is certainly not what I was expecting when he asked me to meet him in the indoor arena tonight. I figured it was to get a little frisky, do it somewhere new. Hell, I even changed into a cute top and freshened up my makeup for this. After I arrived and he locked the door behind me, and my heart started pounding in anticipation. And then he opened that beautiful mouth of his and killed the mood. Alarm bells go off in my head. Jax can’t realize what he’s asking- can he? Telling Theo would effectively end things between us; he’d lose his shit. If and when he ever forgave Jax, he’d never allow us to continue doing what we’ve been doing. And as for me- my brother and I are just building a relationship; would he forgive me for lying to him and sneaking around with his friend behind his back? “What? No.” I scowl

QUINNI wake up the next morning feeling so fucking numb. I cried myself to sleep, then tossed and turned all night. I regret everything. I regret getting involved with Jax in the first place, I regret catching feelings for him that I knew couldn’t go anywhere, and I regret cutting things off with him last night before hearing him out. What if I was jumping to conclusions? What if he wasn’t trying to end things and I ended them prematurely?Even if he shared the same feelings I do, there’s no way things would’ve worked out between us. First of all, there’s the Theo factor. We’d both have to sacrifice our relationships with Theo to be together, and he’d never approve. Then there’s the fact that we’re from two different packs, and in a mate pairing, the girl always goes to the guy’s pack. I’ve always felt so connected to my pack, especially after losing my mom at a y

JAX It has now been two full days since I’ve seen Quinn, and every moment has been agony. If I was an addict before and she was my drug of choice, I’m now fighting through withdrawals in the worst way. And I’d do just about anything for one more hit. Fallon, Casey, Adrian, and Logan have been doing a great job with the reserve squad recruits and they have everything well in hand as far as training goes. I’ve basically turned it over to them for the past two days both to figure out my own shit and in an effort to give Quinn some space. The first day was pretty pathetic- I did a lot of wallowing in my own damn self-pity. Today, though, has been all about planning and plotting. Today’s the day I get Quinn back. At least that’s what I’m hoping- this could all go horribly wrong and I could make a goddamn fool of myself. If that’s the case, at least I tried. I can always go back to wallowing. I’ve put a lot of though

JAX I lift my nose in the air, catching her scent again. It’s the faintest hint of strawberries and vanilla, carried on the breeze from somewhere to my right. I veer in that direction, paws pounding the forest floor as I take off running again. My adrenaline is pumping, my wolf frenzied with the thrill of the chase. I’m getting closer, I can feel it. It’s not only her scent that I’m following, but the pull of the bond. Over the past few weeks, I’ve learned how to reach out for it, to tug on the connection between us to get a sense of where she is or how she’s feeling. Since we sealed the bond, it has only continued to develop and grow stronger. The more it does, the more I feel like we’re becoming two halves of the same person. I must be getting closer, because I can feel her excitement through the bond- it’s palpable, and it only serves to rile my wolf up even more. I see a flash of silver fur ahead and I know that I’

QUINN “I’ll get it!” I call out in response to the knock on the front door of the packhouse. It may seem strange for me to be answering the door of the packhouse in Westfield, but this place already feels like a second home to me thanks to Jax’s family. That, and I already know who’s waiting on the other side of the door. I grin as I pull it open and am met with Brooke’s shining smile, Theo’s classic smirk, and Dad’s stiff, inscrutable expression. “Hey, you guys made it!” I chirp, waving them inside. It has been just shy of two weeks since the full moon confirmed Jax and me as mates, and his mom wasn’t kidding about wanting to have my family over for dinner soon. With the battle in Denver drawing closer, there’s no time like the present. The danger of the fight and the uncertainty of the outcome has been weighing on us all over the past couple weeks. “Nice place,” Brooke comments as she slides her black

JAX“So you’re going to Denver to fight, huh?” I ask as I pull my t-shirt on overhead and tug it down my torso.We made it a whole three steps inside of Quinn’s door before we ripped each other’s clothes off. I set Quinn on the edge of the dresser and spread her thighs, bringing her to orgasm with my tongue before I fucked her senseless. Good thing these rooms have cinderblock walls, or I might’ve shoved the dresser right through it.Quinn slides her leggings up her long legs and turns to me, resting her hands on her hips. “If you’re going, I’m going.”There’s a determined glint in her eye, her wolf showing herself to me by way of shimmering copper swirls in Quinn’s irises.I can’t help but crack a smile. “Hey, I never said I was gonna stop you.”“Good, because you couldn’t stop me if you tried,”

QUINNI wish we could stay at the Westfield packhouse with Jax’s family and just forget the world for a while. Forget about the security squad and the shadow pack and Denver and just be together. But life doesn’t stop for anyone, and we’re already running late as we say our goodbyes to Jax’s parents and sisters, promising that we’ll be back for dinner on Sunday.I’ve always wanted a big family, and now I’ve got one. Jax’s family fits me like a glove- from the moment I met them, I know they were my kind of people. Guess it makes sense now, in hindsight. This is how fate designed it; the way that things were always supposed to be.Rather than heading straight back to the complex, we take a detour to Summervale to retrieve my stuff. It makes us even later, but I can’t return to the complex without my phone and computer, can I? Theo and Brooke have already left, but D

JaxI blink my eyes open as a wave of pleasure courses through me, pulling me out of my half-asleep haze. The first thing I see is Quinn- her hazel eyes peering down at me from above, the mischievous glint in them telling me that I’m in for some of her delicious brand of trouble. Her long dark hair is swept to one side, cascading down like a curtain, the ends tickling my chest as she reaches out to press a finger to my lips.It takes me another second to comprehend why she’s got her finger to my lips, urging me to be quiet. As I start to come to, I realize that her other hand is tucked inside my boxers, wrapped around my dick. It’s getting harder by the second as she strokes it, and holy shit what a way to wake up. My girl’s on top of me, jacking me off, and I’m… wait a second, I’m in my childhood bedroom?!The pieces start to click into place. The council meeting last ni

QUINN “Tonight?” I parrot, searching my dad’s face for answers. “But it’s late… what’s going on? Dad forces a smile, stepping closer and setting a hand on my shoulder, giving it a reassuring squeeze. “It’s not for you to worry about, honey.” His patronizing tone has resentment and frustration curling in my gut as he withdraws his touch and all but ignores my concern, turning instead to Jax and Theo. “You boys are coming too, Gray said squad leadership needs to be present. Cory took Ellie home, but he should be back any minute…” “Dad,” I interrupt, balling my fists at my sides and speaking through gritted teeth. “Please just tell me what’s happening.” He heaves a sigh in annoyance, casting me a sideways glance. I feel Jax step up behind me, his chest meeting my back as he slides his large hands to rest on my shoulders. “Respectfully, sir, it won’t do any good to keep her in the dark,” Jax says, h

JAX The way she says my name nearly makes me shatter. Even though I felt certain Quinn was my mate, confirming it is far better than I ever could’ve imagined. It’s earth-shattering, life changing. It’s everything- all I’ve ever wanted, she’s all I’ll ever need. My Quinn. My girl. My mate. Despite the chill in the air, our bodies are warm, slick with sweat. I slip a hand between them to seek her clit and push her over the edge, and it only takes a few gentle rubs of her sweet spot to get her there. Her body trembles, her head falls back- I hold her tight in my arms and watch in awe as she rides out her climax, doing all I can to prolong reaching my own. She’s so fucking gorgeous in the throes of bliss that I can hardly take it. My control’s hanging by a thread, but now that I know for sure that Quinn’s my mate, I won’t leave this spot until I mark her as mine forever and seal the bond between us. Slowly, beautifully, sh

QUINNWhen you’re in a new, exciting relationship, three days apart feels like an eternity. As the days pass slowly, I start to get nervous that something’s going to go wrong and Jax isn’t gonna show on Monday. Of course, the thought is irrational- Jax is the best guy, he has a heart of gold! There’s no way he’d stand me up. Still, I can’t help but agonize about all of the ‘what if’s’ while riding the high of something that feels too good to be true. Guess I’m my own worst enemy in that way.You’d think the downtime at home would be relaxing, but really, I’m just bored. Theo has been spending a lot of time with Dad- he’s teaching Theo everything he knows so he can transition him into the role of Alpha this spring- and while Brooke spends her evenings here with us, she spends her days at her parents’ house a few streets over. So basically, it&rsquo

JAX As Quinn and I walk back into the Summervale packhouse after our little ‘chat’, Brooke pokes her head out of the kitchen doorway, a smile spreading across her face when she sees the two of us. “So?” she asks excitedly, rushing over to meet us as Quinn pushes the front door closed behind her. The smug expressions that Quinn and I are sporting must give us away because Brooke lets out an excited squeak, clasping her hands together in front of her chest. I slide an arm around Quinn’s waist and tuck her into my side almost instinctively as she laughs, shaking her head at Brooke. “Please just play it cool in front of my dad?” Brooke nods, quickly reining in her enthusiasm. “Of course. I’m just glad you two figured things out.” I’m not sure if we ‘figured things out’, per se, but at least we’re finally on the same page with admitting we have real feelings for each other and wanting to give this th
