Patience is a virtue, or at least that’s what my mother, my adopted mother - which that’s so weird even to think, always tells me. But waiting to see Logan again is torture. That’s weird, right? I shouldn’t be this keyed up about seeing a guy I barely know.
‘He’s our mate. This is normal.’ Theia says, and I can feel her rolling her eyes at me. Because to her, this is all normal. But I’m human, and this isn’t normal. I don’t even get this excited to see Alex, and he’s my best friend.
I have a lot of questions for Logan. All of this makes no sense to me. And the idea that I’m adopted is just… I don’t even know how to process it. I’ve resisted the urge to call home and ask my parents. I need to hear it from them.
I need to know the truth. But I’m a coward, and I didn’t. I didn’t even call them when other campers called home. I was too afraid to break down on the phone. I can’t do that.
If I had done that, my parents would have drive all the w
“I can smell your arousal. So I know exactly what the thought of me marking you as mine does to you,” I teased. “Logan…" Aurelia sighed. “Fine. I’ll stop teasing. Part of completing the mate bond won’t just mean me marking you. You would have to mark me as well. Making it clear to all other females, I am yours,” I smiled. She tried to hide it, but I saw her lips twitch, wanting to smile, and the scent of her arousal became stronger. She likes the idea of marking me, of making everyone know I’m hers. “After all that happens, our scents would mingle and become a new scent. This tells people or rather other werewolves that we are together even before they could see the mark. It would also create a link between us. This link has its upsides and downsides,” I explained. One delicate red brow arches in question. “And those would be?" she asked. “Well, the upside is it means we could communicate telepathically. It also means that we’d know what the oth
Twelve. Logan’s twelve years older than me! He’s twelve years older than me, has a kid, and has far more experience than I could even imagine. “So you don’t think it’s weird that you’re attracted to a sixteen-year-old?" I questioned. Because he can’t deny he’s attracted to me. I may not be as experienced as him, but even I know that he’s sporting a hardon in those jeans. “Not really. As I said, it’s not uncommon for werewolves. I’ve known of larger age gaps. I know that you were raised human, so probably to you, it’s weird. That I can’t change,” he shrugged. “Fair enough. So I’m going to age normally anymore?" I asked, furrowing my brow. “Basically. Werewolves age about three times slower than a human,” he explained. “So every three years, a werewolf only physically appears to age one?" I clarified. “You’ve got it. It’s why John looks much younger than he is. So what else do you want to know?" he asked, absently kneading my ass. Damn, he’s
I sighed as I looked and saw her chewing her bottom lip. I haven't marked her, so I can't feel her emotions, but she doesn't have much of a poker face. I shouldn't have told her so much. I can only imagine how I'd feel if she had someone before me she loved. "Aurelia…" I sighed, caressing her cheek. "That was the past,” I tried to assure her. She sighed, nodding a little. "I know. But you loved her. You even adopted her daughter,” she sighed, leaning back running her hand through her thick, fiery locks. "Yes, well. I won't lie and say I didn't love Suzu. I did. She wasn't my mate, and after I explained to her what I was, she always knew that I'd find my mate one day. Granted, I would always argue with her that it wouldn't happen. After all, it hadn't for years,” I shrugged. "I brought her and Hana home to live with me amongst my pack,” I sighed. "No one was happy about it,” I frowned. "Why not? I mean, shouldn't they want their leader to be happ
I’m way too stimulated right now to think straight. Logan’s kissing me and touching me, and I don’t think I’ll be able to think straight again till I find some release. I’ve kissed a few boys in my short life but never was anything even remotely like this. It doesn’t help that Theia keeps telling me we should take option four and let him fuck us, mate us and complete the bond. She wants that so badly she’s impairing my judgment. “I’m not this kind of girl,” I moan as his hands start to lift my shirt. “What kind is that?" Logan’s husky voice questions. His fingers are handing over my ribs, and the contact is sending sparks throughout my body, and they all seem to settle at my core making me want him even more. How is this possible? I know, mate bond. But I don’t get it. I don’t get how his touch can make me feel this way. And it’s not just how badly my pussy is throbbing, but I can feel those sparks in my heart too. “The kind that gets naked with
This girl was going to be the death of me. I have to abstain from sex for God knows how long till she’s ready. And I can’t even go fuck someone else and get it out of my system. Now that we’ve found Aurelia, Jericho would do something to stop me. Hell, for all I know, my dick wouldn’t even get up for someone else. Cheating on a mate isn’t normal. The only people who do it don’t deserve a mate, to begin with. Even worse to cheat on a mate after you’ve completed the bond because then they feel it. They feel the pain of your betrayal. And while I have slept with my share of women, after Suzu. None of them meant anything to me. They were just ways of me trying to drown my sorrow. It never lasted. It never filled the gaping wound that her death left in my heart. Since I first caught Aurelia’s scent, it feels like that wound is starting to heal. So I have to do everything I can to make her feel comfortable with me. She was raised human, so I n
Wow! Just wow! Tonight with Logan was intense. We may not have covered as much information as I’d planned. But that seems to be the norm for us. We talked for a bit, covered some heavy topics, and then we got distracted in the most panty-melting ways. And tonight took the cake on all fronts. He told me about his ex, how they met and how she died. I’m still livid on her behalf. How could her guards just let those rouges take her?! They knew what would happen. They knew what it would do to Logan, to their Alpha. But because she was human, they didn’t care? I hope that Logan killed them all. That they paid with their lives for letting hers be snuffed out. Because if they are still alive and I ever see them, I will kill them. But before I could ask more, he kissed me, and things just got hotter from there. I’m not sure if the kiss was to calm me down or distract him from the bad memories. Either way, it worked. And now I’ve kissed a fe
I hadn’t wanted to leave Aurelia, especially without notice, but I didn’t have a choice. I had to return home. My father is dead, and my mother is dying. I need to be there for my family and my pack. I couldn’t just sneak over and tell Aurelia I had to go. I also don’t have her phone number, so I couldn’t just text her either. I only shot a text to Rowan about it. I kept it brief, telling him I had a death in the family and had to go home. I took my motorcycle to get home as fast as I could. I’m confident I broke multiple traffic laws to reach the packhouse in record time. There were pack members all around, even at this predawn hour, everyone dressed in black to mourn their former Alpha. As I tossed my helmet aside, members bowed and made sure to get out of my way. I was certain my eyes were red as I threw open the heavy double oak doors. “Where is she!?” I shouted. Silvercloud was the first face I saw. He looked like shit, and his clothes were
“Hi, mom. Hi, dad,” I greeted them as I managed to get out of my mother’s bear hug. It felt weird facing my parents now. I’ve talked to them on the phone since Logan told me the truth about being adopted. But that was different. Now that I’m looking at them, I can see how I don’t resemble them in all the ways. I’m taller than both, and neither has red hair nor the same green eyes as me. I shook my head because this wasn’t the time nor the place to think about that. “Are you alright, baby?” my dad asked, grabbing my shoulders, looking me over as if trying to find bruises or something. “I’m fine. I don’t know what they told you, but it’s bullshit,” I assured them. “What? What do you mean? We got a call telling us that the groundskeeper assaulted you,” my dad questioned, looking back at Mister Moors, confused. I rolled my eyes. “Mister Moors’s full of shit, dad. He was told that by his creep son. His son’s the one that tried to assault me and just this m
Not everyone realizes just how romantic my husband is. And that’s fine by me. I don’t need others getting jealous that their mates/husbands/boyfriends will never measure up. Logan gets me on levels no one else can. Hell, he sometimes knows me better than I know myself. He knew I was struggling. He knew I was worried about the baby after Meridith said I had preeclampsia. I didn’t want to do anything that put me or CJ at risk. But I also couldn’t just suddenly drop my classes or shove all my duties onto Sarael and Sybille. The sneaky little fucker planned this getaway to our cabin. When Logan told me to pack for a month away, I was confused. I am near the end of my pregnancy, and he wants to go somewhere for a month?! I didn’t want to be far from my doctor. I was relieved when he said we wer
We are nearing the end of Aurelia’s pregnancy. And everything and everything seemed to be getting on her nerves. I haven’t known any to act like this, but Aurelia is an Alpha wolf carrying an Alpha pup. I can’t say if it is normal she-wolf wolf behavior. At the moment, she still seems to enjoy my company. I’m sure I have the mate bond to thank for that. Otherwise, I would be sleeping in a guest room at the packhouse. Our OB Meredith agreed that Aurelia needed to rest. Her exact words were bed rest after Aurelia’s recent checkup, where she was diagnosed with preeclampsia high blood pressure. So to keep people from her wraith and her blood pressure down, I’m taking her to the cabin. I smiled, glancing at her from the corner of my eye as I drove away from Mount Hood. The further a
I kept looking at my watch the longer John was gone. I hate being cooped up in this damn room. It’s not exactly the company’s fault. Obviously, I get along just fine with Chuck and Silvercloud. Alex, however, still gets on my damn nerves. I was glad his bitch of a baby mama declined to be his date. I don’t want her near my mate, let alone our wedding. He’s still not really explained how he ended up with that girl. I get that Aurelia graduating early and moving in with me created a void in his life. But to fill the void with that girl. Yeah, wrong move. He knows how much Aurelia hates that girl. And now, there will never be an escape from her because of the baby Alexander will share with her. I mean, I guess I can commend him for stepping up. Accepting his responsibility to the girl and the baby. Sarael was nice enough to rent her old house t
I will not kill a pregnant bitch. I will not kill a pregnant bitch. I will not kill a pregnant bitch. This is my new mantra. Or at least it’s the mantra I will be using any time I am in the same breathing area as Claire Weston. Ugh, just thinking her name makes me want to vomit. I would say maybe it’s the baby but I’ve FINALLY been vomit-free, knock on wood, for a month now.I have despised Claire well my whole life. Since kindergarten even. The girl was a bitch then, and she’s a bitch now. ‘Well, technically, so are you. Though in the more literal sense.’ Theia unhelpfully points out. I growl for probably the millionth time today. “Luna?” Sybille arches a perfect blonde brow at me as she looks up from bouncing Xavier on her knee.“Just thinking about the one wedding guest who better fucking not

I could not be more proud of my mate and all she’s accomplished in the last year and a half since we met. I can’t imagine anyone else would have so quickly taken to finding out everything Aurelia has. To learn that she’s a werewolf, mated to an Alpha, and is, in fact, the last of an Alpha bloodline, all while handling being a high schooler. My mate is one hell of a woman. After her graduation, we began the plans for her Luna ceremony. We also planned to merge our packs during the ceremony. Linking both packs as one was probably for the best, given some of my pack members had found their mates among the Fire Wolf pack. We were still on alert, and Silvercloud was tracking the movements of the Cholmáin pack. So far, they don’t know about Aurelia or that the survivors of Fire Wolf have come here. Thanks to the massive ego of their alpha, he didn't even consider that Conor and Fianna had an heir. And I plan to keep it that way. But if it ever happens
I'm probably a horrible daughter. I went the rest of the summer without calling my parents and filling them in on what I’ve learned about my birth parents and their not-so-extinct pack. I just didn’t know how to tell them. I don’t know how they’d react. Even though Logan kept telling me I should just tell them I haven’t. And in my defense, I have been super busy. I went from just learning how to fight in and out of my wolf form. The responsibilities of a Luna to now having to learn to be an Alpha to the thirty-six Fire Wolf pack members that arrived at the sunrise after Logan and I completed our bond. There weren’t many available houses in Mount Hood for them to take residence, so they’ve been crashing with various pack members. At the same time, we started construction on a new development of houses to accommodate my pack. We’ve integrated them the best we can with Logan’s pack, letting them join the training, and for those of school age, they were enr
I must have fallen asleep at some point. But honestly, who could blame me after all that. I deserve to sleep for the next couple of days after the workout Logan gave me. There had been two more rounds after he returned from the bathroom. And the last one had been in the shower. When we were supposed to be trying to wash off the heavy scent of sex before going home. Not that it would matter if we didn’t smell like sex. Everyone will know we had it. We marked each other, and our scents had mixed in the way that Sybille and Charles or Aislinn and David smell like each other. I haven’t even gotten a look at my mark. I wonder what it looks like. It hadn’t fully formed by the time I last remember having my eyes open. Mmming, I rolled in Logan’s arm, turning to face him. I smiled as I opened my eyes to see his blue eyes looking right back at me. I was startled for a moment, thinking he was sleeping with his eyes open till I heard him laughing. “Ugh, yo
It’s probably the mate bond pulling us together that makes it so easy to talk to her. It took me months to really open up with Suzu, and even then, it was longer still before I discussed pack business with her. I guess even back then, my gut knew Suzu wouldn’t and couldn’t be my Luna and that treating her like one would only cause both of us trouble down the road. It’s, of course, different with Aurelia. She is my mate and Luna. I know she can’t take on the role officially yet, but it’s best to have her start learning now. And given how she handled things during the attack, minus the scaring the crap out of me with falling out a window with a knife in her side, she’s going to be a fierce Luna. “I think that’s enough pack business. We’re supposed to be on a date,” Aurelia smiled as she slipped out of her chair and moved around the table. There was a sparkle of mischief in those emerald eyes but also a hint of nerves. I wonder what she’s pla
