2021-10-28 20:52:49Everything within me was screaming to go to her. God, she looked stunning. Every male in the place must be watching her. How did she possibly think she could pull off the job looking like that?
My wolf was borderline feral knowing our mate was near and having to watch her walk away from us once again. I had asked her to meet me. Would she?
I pushed down the fear, regret, and excitement of having her near. I got hold of the ring and swiftly moved to the fireplace. With the push of a button I was safely in the room next door. Mission complete. All I had to do was walk out before the auction began and they knew it was missing.
My heart sunk realizing Jasmine wasn’t there, but I couldn’t move. I irrationally had to give her a few minutes, even knowing she wasn’t coming. I kept looking at my watch. I could give her five minutes, but no more. I could still feel she was close and that gave me stupid hope, even while I brace

I wanted to hold on to him tightly and never let go. I couldn’t believe how much I’d royally screwed things up. I should have stopped and listened. I should have given him a chance to explain. Sometimes my pride and ego took control and I knew better. Still, I’d let it happen and I’d hurt him in far worse ways than I could possibly understand. I could hear it in his voice.Tom was treating me like a porcelain doll that would break if he touched me. I knew I deserved it, but it caused a separation between us that I hated. I didn’t know how to fix it. How could he ever trust me again?He seemed so certain the team would take me on, but I wasn’t so sure. I felt as though I’d burnt that bridge, but I knew there was still a chance with my mate. It felt like I could see my priorities realigning themselves and Tom moved to the top of the list.I hugged him, holding on like he was the only

Jasmine was out to lunch with the girls again. I was happy to see her settling back in. Having her out of my sight was still hard though. For the last half hour, I’d taken to pacing the living room floor, waiting for her return.It was ridiculous really. I had just spent the morning with her. The paperwork was signed, and she was officially the newest member of Great company, and that meant she was now working out with the team. Sure, the people ragged on me a bit for focusing more on her tight butt than my own skills, but that was set. It was still new just having her there. We’d find our groove, I was sure of it—as long as she stuck around.That was the hardest part. I felt like any second she could leave me again. It had my wolf on edge again, and I wasn’t handling it the right way. When she was there, I tried to be present, but my mind kept going back to the what ifs. I hated it.She was my mate and I had no problems opening up and talk

I didn’t really know what to expect at dinner with the s and I was a little nervous about it. It had seemed important to the girls though, and I didn’t want to let them down. It was so strange having other people to care about. I had been on my own for so long, but I did care though.Sealing my bond with Tom meant also accepting a pack. It was something I had sworn for years that I would never do. I guess I should be more careful about what I say. Never say never.I looked over at Tom and smiled. I had always said that I would never take a mate, but now I couldn’t imagine my life without this sexy man by my side.“What are you thinking over there?” he asked.I shrugged. “Just happy,” I told him.He reached over and took my hand, linking our fingers together, and squeezed. We drove the rest of the way to the Leader House in a comfortable silence.Like a gentleman, he jumped out and

I was amazed at how easily Jasmine and I had transitioned into mated life. It was far different than mating life which had been crazy and stressful. Now we seemed to be in perfect synch.Each morning we woke early, and I started my day by making love to my beautiful mate. Then I left her to shower while I made coffee. When she was done, I took my turn in the shower while she made protein shakes for us to grab with a piece of fruit for breakfast and packed us a hearty lunch for later. We drove together down to the Lodge in time for the morning briefing, followed by workouts.I caught some damn for ogling my mate, especially during warmups, but anytime she caught me staring, she’d blush and yell at me to keep my eyes to myself. That only made the people laugh. I didn’t mind. She had fit right in place and in a matter of days had every one of my Force brothers wrapped around her little finger.She also had scored the whole team huge points

I felt like the people were starting to take me seriously. Tom kept saying I had already earned their respect, but I just found that hard to believe. We hadn’t even technically been on a mission together yet, so we didn’t how that was going to go.I’d done well in all of my buttessments and my meeting with alex was quite encouraging. I still felt like I had plenty to prove, but that would take time. I was fully aware that I wasn’t just the new kid, but the only female on any of the Force’s mission teams. That felt like a lot riding on my shoulders, but I knew I was up to the task and I absolutely loved working closely with Tom. I had no doubt we could make it work.This afternoon I had to meet jordan. He wanted to show me a few things. I had no idea what to expect as I walked down to his desk.“Jasmine, follow me,” jordan said.“ set, hi to you too,” I mumb

When I returned to base, Great unit was buzzing with excitement.“Tom, conference room, stat,” alex barked.I dropped the box of supplies I was carrying, and ran to the room. The team was already buttembled. They’d left an open seat next to Jasmine for me. I took my seat and gave her a quizzical look. She nodded towards the screen just as the lights died down.A quick look around the room told me we weren’t alone. There were representatives from Charlie, Delta, and Echo teams as well. My head was swimming. The only time I could remember all teams buttembling was when we’d gotten a confirmed location of an active Raglan cell. It was the same mission where Ben had delivered his triplets whose biological mother had been a prisoner and died in childbirth. After reports of tests being run on the shifters, no one would take the babies until Ben and Shelby stepped up and adopted them. We’d also rescued dozens of i

A lot has changed in the last few weeks. I am trying to be the best version of myself, for starters. And surprisingly, Jasmine has become different. A lot different. She’s been learning to hack with her friends. I don’t know why. All I know is that she’s ignoring me.“ Tom, you know I’m right. You have a stable job, a good income, and you’re even looking at buying a house. It’s time you find yourself a mate,” Leslie insisted.I groaned cringing over the use of my full name. I had regretted confessing that to her since the motherent the name had rolled off of my tongue.“Leslie, I love you, but I don’t want to settle down and for the millionth time, I am not going to mate the first girl I see just because you want great-grandpups.”“I’m not getting any younger, you know?”I looked at my watch thankful to see I was running late and had a solid excuse to

“You wretched girl, where are you this time?” my mother yelled.I tried to stifle my yawn as she barged into my bedroom. It had been a late night, not that I’d dare tell her that.She threw open my curtains. “You’re late.”I looked at the clock sitting on my nightstand. It was 7:30. I yelped and jumped from the bed pushing past her as I ran to the bathroom.I never slept in like this. I was always up by 5:30am no matter how late I stayed up. I didn’t feel sick or anything, heck, I was a shifter, so I didn’t even know what it really felt like to be sick, but something was certainly wrong with me.I knew I had been staying up into the wee hours of morning every night for weeks, but I hadn’t realized it was wearing me out quite so badly.I was still groggy as I took a shower, quickly applied enough makeup to look sort of human, and ran out of the house. In record time I was acr

I thought when I bonded with Jasmine that we were complete, somehow, I had been wrong. I don’t know why we waited to introduce our wolfes, but somehow that had made a world of difference. I felt whole now, stronger somehow and closer to my mate than ever.We’d gotten back from a short mission where the only real excitement had been the cat Alex had rescued, and insisted on bringing back home. Who knew the big person had such a soft spot? He was now a proud, crazy, cat owner.On the drive back from the airfield he’d made us stop off at a pet store where he bought everything he could think of that the damn cat might need. I was convinced that he had lost his mind, and we were getting close to needing to do an intervention. He was the last single person on the team, and I feared that was weighing on him more than he let on.Then, when we got back to the Lodge, all hell broke loose. The second we stepped out of the vehicles we w

I’d had some weird dreams and didn’t know what to make of them. I awoke with a sense of doom lingering in the air.I rolled over in bed and hit a brick wall.“ Tom?” I asked. “You’re back?”He was already awake and staring at me with a look of utter confusion on his face. “Uh, okay. You don’t remember?”He looked truly horrified. I had to pee badly though, so I climbed over him then froze halfway.He had a heated look in his eyes, and it brought back vivid memories from my dream.His hands found my hips and I gasped. My hand flew to my mouth. “Did I seduce you in my sleep?” I blurted out.My cheeks were on fire with embarrassment as I recalled just how aggressive and turned on I’d been. It had felt like a dream. And then we’d talked, and I had gotten upset and rolled over and went to bed angry.I groaned and covered m

When Alex changed our plans and sent us on an emergency mission, I was not pleased. Jasmine had been gone when I went home to tell her. I was a little grateful for it. I hadn’t called her because of that. Instead, I’d left a stupid note. I did feel bad for that.I’d never had to worry about anyone else before. As a courtesy I would call Leslie to let her know when I got called out on a mission. Mostly that was just because I knew she’d give me shit if I didn’t. I hadn’t called her this time either.I had thought the mission was taking us back to Colorado bear country to extract Sonnet, but this one wasn’t about that. The team was being sent down to New Mexico to rendezvous with Echo team.Alex hadn’t come with us. He was acting a little stranger than usual and was determined to have a clean extraction. He was working closely with Jake and being hush-hush on why we were being delayed. The rest of

I woke up all alone in a strange bed in a room I didn’t recognize at first. The only thing familiar at all to me was the intoxicating scent of my mate.“ Tom?” I called out but I could tell he wasn’t there. He’s left without even saying a word.I sat up with a huff.Feeling the call of nature, I jumped out of bed and ran for the bathroom. While there I went ahead and jumped in the shower trying to wash away some of the fears I had as the reality of my situation was starting to sink in.I’d mated a man I didn’t know. I’d sold my business and currently my only source of income. I’d uprooted my sisters and dragged them down this rabbit hole with me. I gulped. I lived with a very large pack of wolves. There had to be hundreds of them if not thousands.My head felt like it had been in a haze since the motherent Tom walked into my life.That veil was slowly lifti

The drive back to San Marco was just as stressful as the drive to Womack. Leslie still wanted to stop every hour to stretch and pee. I even tried banning liquids and that woman still had to pee. I suspected she was doing it just to drive me insane.With three cars our caravan ran at a slower pace than I normally would have driven by myself. We had five drivers to rotate between them, so it wasn’t too bad. Leslie had even taken turns riding in each vehicle.“I just want to get to know my new granddaughters is all,” she insisted.I loved that she was already accepting them into our little family pack. It meant a lot to me, but I suspected it meant a great deal to her too.It was late afternoon before Jasmine finally took a break from behind the wheel and road shotgun with me. I held her hand grateful for a few minutes alone with my mate. I’d missed her even if I did see her at every single stop Leslie insisted on.We were making good

We had no idea where we were going or what to expect. My car was largely packed with all of my stuff. We still had Sapphire’s car to fill with her stuff. Sage’s would have to be dispersed between the three vehicles. Not wanting to pay for a moving truck we all agreed to stop and buy air mattresses. We weren’t going to take any of the furniture or big stuff. Only necessities and important personal items.That proved easier said than done. While I had never really had much, Mother had spoiled the other girls with an over abundance of clothes, shoes, and well, stuff.“If I’m being honest, I don’t even like this stuff. Can I just pick out the things I actually want to wear and just start over buying what I need when I need it and can afford to do so?” Sapphire asked. “I mean look at these?”She pulled on an orange, yellow, and green dress that had the gypsy appeal our mother loved. She fancied herse

“ Tom,” I said as I answered the mobile.“Well at least you’re still alive. We just got back, and I figured I’d check in since I hadn’t heard anything. I’m assuming no news is good news?” Alex asked.“Yup. All good on this end. How was the mission?” “In and out, nothing exciting. Yours too?”I almost smiled. Mine was far from boring.“I identified our attacker.” For some reason I didn’t want to share the fact that she had been my mate, at least not yet.“So he’s been dealt with?”“She, actually.”“Oh really?” he asked, suddenly sounding interested. “Tell me.”“Shifter. She’s looking for her sister. I’m going to need to put an inquiry out on one Sonnet— hold on.” I covered the receiver with my hand even knowing Alex would st

I wasn’t opposed to going with Tom. Despite what he had tried to say, I knew what I had done when I tied myself to him. For me to believe otherwise would take time and examples. Layla had always warned me about it. “Don’t give away your soul and body to a man. Bonding it forever, Jasmine,” she would say.I had done it in a motherent of passion, but Tom appeared to be a good man and for some reason I had no regrets. Logically, I thought I should, but I didn’t.Tom motioned for Sapphire to come back over.“Check please,” he said.“No,” she said.“Look, I need to talk to your sister and not here in the open,” he said as if I weren’t sitting right there between them.“Did you realize you handed me over $800 yesterday?” Sapphire asked him.“I am and you aren’t giving it back.”“ Tom, that&

I awoke to an empty bed. I had reached for my mate with a huge smile on my face, but the bed was cold beside me.I was on full alert as I jumped up from bed and checked the bathroom for her. It was empty. I swept the room for any signs of Jasmine. The only thing I found to show that she had even been there at all, was one shoe peeking out from under the bed. Well, that and the mark she had left on my neck when we had sealed our bond.My heart ached and I was finding it hard to breathe.Had she regretted binding herself to me? Anger erupted within me. It was too late for regrets. What was done was done. As far as I knew, there was absolutely no way to undo a bond. She was stuck with me whether she liked it or not.Logically I knew my thoughts were merely a firewall protecting my heart. It was failing though. She had already breeched that too. I had to find her.I was trying to think through what I knew about my mate when there wa
