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
I’m already in the mood to kill someone. Siegfried is, of course, ever-present at the top of my list to kill. But Darien and his dumbass father are coming in a close second. As glad as I am that Aurelia was able to fight off the little shit, she shouldn’t have to. He should have respected her “no” the first time she told him she wasn’t interested. I swear I’m going to break his arms. No better, I’m going to rip his arms off so he can’t touch anyone again. And Rowan. That little weasel is going to get his, too. I’m still confident he’s who is letting those poachers onto my property. For that alone, I want him taken down. But now he’s going around accusing me of raping my mate of telling her parents these lies. I don’t need that kind of impression left on her parents before they even meet me. The only good thing about this debacle playing out at the camp is her parents believe her and that one of my pack responded to the call. I could hear her han
As thrilled as I was watching Mister Moors and his son getting arrested, I still had this pit in my stomach. The camp was going to close down, and I wouldn’t see Logan again. Or at least it felt like I wouldn’t. What’s he supposed to do, just show up at my family’s ranch and introduce himself as my mate? Yeah, I can’t see that going over very well with my parents. They don’t even know I’m a werewolf. Then again, they don’t know that I know I’m adopted. Overall I just had this nagging feeling. Like something was wrong. Logan was dealing with so much right now. His parents were both dead, and as I looked at my parents, who were busy putting my things in the truck, I fought the urge to cry. I don’t know what I would do without them. I can only hope that my parents will still love and accept me after telling them what I am. Then I saw Elyse crying with Crystal and June watching the spectacle with all the other campers. I started to head in the
I don’t know how long I was out in the forest running. I’d turned control over to Jericho and was letting him run to his heart’s content. I know this wasn’t how an Alpha ought to behave. I shouldn’t have run off like this. I have responsibilities I need to tend to. I have a pack in mourning for this former Alpha and Luna and others who lost their lives fighting off Siegfried and his rogues. My brother is just as hurt by these events as I yet he’s not acting this way. All I want right now is Aurelia, and I can’t have her. I came to a stop at the reservoir at the edge of town. Looking at my reflection in the water, Jericho’s blood-red eyes looked back at me with all the same pain as I felt inside. My body tensed as I smelled someone nearby. Raising my head, I growled, baring my teeth as I saw the cinnamon-colored wolf that came into view across the reservoir. ‘Siegfried,’ Jericho growled. His yellow eyes seemed to be taunting me. I started t
“Aurelia, you tell me everything. We don’t have secrets. So what happened?” Alex questioned, getting up and shutting my bedroom door. He was right. I do tell him everything. He’s the first person I told when I got my first kiss way back in fourth grade from Cooper Barker by the slide. Probably the only thing I didn’t tell him about first was when I got my period. That I told my mom because, well, that’s women stuff, and I needed her guidance far more than I’d ever need Alex’s on the subject. I just wasn’t sure how much I could tell him. I trust him to keep my secret, but I don’t know the rules about telling people. What if I tell him and I find out I violated some werewolf law? What if there’s a law about keeping the existence of werewolves a secret? I don’t want to get in trouble. I also don’t want to put Alex in danger. Whenever he has time to talk to me again, I'll need to ask Logan about it. I also can’t just tell him I know I’m adopted. Because wit
All I wanted was to hear her voice. I would rather have her at my side, but I can’t. So hearing her voice is the next best thing. I wasn’t sure what I expected when I called her. But I didn’t expect to hear her friend in the background. I wouldn’t have minded if her friend was a girl or a mated werewolf. But a human boy, single or not, I don’t trust humans. They don’t have a bond to their significant other as we werewolves do. So cheating doesn’t matter to them. And I can hear his jealousy and judgment with every word the boy uttered. I don’t know how much she’s told him about me. Doesn’t matter. I suspect he’d be jealous no matter what. “Do you want me to come? I could get my mom to drive me,” she offered. I chuckled softly. “God, I forgot you’re a pup. You probably don’t even have a learner’s permit, do you?” I sighed, shaking my head. “Stop teasing me, old man,” she snorted. “How much older than you is this guy?” her friend questioned.
