As she opened the door to her upstairs apartment, she was consumed by the most delicious smell. It was the smell of hamburgers on a grill. Her stomach soon reminded her of how long it had been since she had a decent meal. She was very cautious with her meager amount of money she knew she wouldn't receive her first paycheck for three more days and she wanted to make sure she always had at least twenty dollars in case of an emergency.

Katie woke up the next morning determined to stick it out for the next few days. She would try to distance herself from Dan. Again, she wasn't afraid of him. She could simply call upon her wolf side and Dan would with he had never been born. She just felt a betrayal that ran extremely deep. It was Dan who helped her to find her new path and helped her in a fatherly type way. That was probably why her hurt ran so deep, her own father had told her mother he no longer had wanted her as a mate over ten years ago. She watched her mother go through physical pain that could be described as excruciating. It has been said that the severing of a mate bond was one of the most painful experiences a werewolf could experience. Dan had shown her the fatherly caring that she realized she had deeply missed. Katie shook her head as if she could shake away the memory of her father and the pain Dan had caused her. She dec
Ethan's Choice Chapter 16
Ethan believed his father was probably right, Thomas Conway had found out his father was human and that he had been put down by Charles Reid. He wondered exactly how the story had been relayed to him, but in the end it didn't really matter. Thomas had declared war between the packs and they would be ready. At his father's words he found out just how ready they would be, "Call in the warriors, all of them." he began. "If that mother fucker is looking for a war, he just found one." Ethan had never heard his father use that tone or those words. "Ethan, you're in charge. Make sure the troops are called in." After he said this, he and the other five men he had chosen to go with him, took off in the direction of the breach.
Ethan's Choice Prologue
"You're young, you'll love again." although Ethan knew his sister had nothing but good intentions, Emma's words still stung him all the way to his core. He needed comfort from his twin, he was now coming to the realization that this was a journey of grief that he would be traveling alone. With that realization came a feeling of despair it would have been impossible for him to imagine just three days ago.Pushing past his pain and anguish he squeezed his sister's hand. He looked her squarely in the eye and said, "I love you bug, I'm just so tired. Can I call you later?" Emma gave him a skeptical look "Are you sure? I can stay with you as long as you need." With just the slightest, almost unnoticeable quiver he replied, "I really need some rest. Honestly bug, I'll call soon."
Ethan's Choice Chapter 1
There was nothing more exciting for any member of the pack than your eighteenth birthday. That is if the Moon Goddess has mated you with someone who has also reached their eighteenth birthday.Ethan feigned annoyance with the excitement emulating from his little sister, younger by exactly seven minutes. The Reid household was buzzing with a nervous excitement that could only be described as quiet chaos, if it weren't for the fact Emma hadn't stopped talking since she tumbled out of bed barely past dawn. Afterall, there were two members of this family who may potentially find their life-mates this very day."Do you think he'll come to the party tonight? Do you think he'll feel the pull? Do you think Goddess will make us feel the same for each other? What will happen if he's not there? I'll feel so ashamed. Maybe he's not eighteen yet. Oh my Goddess, what if he won't be eighteen for months or even years?" Emma performed this stream of consciousness so quickly it was diff

"Oh, your brother! Goofball, really? You know what? He's actually never said my name! It's always goofball, clumsy, klutz or butterfingers! Do you even remember the time he called me ham-handed? Do you know what ham-handed means? I do! I had to go home and look it up. It's, it's it's...the same as the rest of them! Just who does he think he is? OHHH!" Katie groaned and quite literally stomped her foot.Emma sat quietly and listened to her best girlfriend's rant. As she was putting the last curl in her hair she said, "Katie can you check the back and curl anything I missed?" She knew this would divert Katie's attention long enough to tell her what she had been thinking for quite some time."Katie, there's som

"Thank Goddess we're taking separate cars" Katie told Emma. "I really can't stand your brother. I will say calling me weirdo is a new one. I don't know how in the world you could ever think we would be mated. But, enough about all of that. Tonight is all about you. I just know your mate is at the party. You've waited so long I don't know how you did it." Emma had decided many years ago that she would never have a boyfriend, sure she had guy friends but never even a date, not one. She said that she wouldn't have her heart unnecessarily broken by someone she wasn't mated with. Even her mom tried to convince her that dating was all a part of growing up but she would have none of it.Emma smiled at her friend as the realization that tonight really could be the night that would change her life forever.

"This can't be happening, he's my mate." Katie had this thought running through her head over and over again as she ran down the street. She didn't know where she was going, she only knew she had to get as far away as possible. "What have I done that Goddess would be so cruel to me? My best friend and my boyfriend mated." The plans Katie had for her life began to disappear from her own mind. What would she do? Where would she go?She then did something she had only done a handful of times in her young life, she shifted. Her wolf was stronger than her human form and was sure to cast away the pain. Only Katie still felt all of the anguish she felt before the shift. Her wolf began to run, she ran until Katie's human mind was exhausted and Katie submitted fully allowing her wolf to take her wherever she wanted,

Ethan was a little sad when he realized Emma was all grown up. He'd never called her anything but Bug their entire lives. He knew that soon it would be up to someone else to protect her and surprisingly that seemed okay to him. He was lost in these thoughts as he started to head upstairs to get ready for their party, he was actually more excited for Emma than himself. Just as his foot hit the bottom stair the doorbell rang.He knew it would be Katie as he yanked the door open, in an attempt, to scare her. This was a little game they played together. He would scare the shit out of her and she would stumble, drop something or knock into the closest object. It worked again! He yanked the door open and as if on cue, she dumped out the entire contents of her bag.

Ethan's Choice Chapter 13
Katie had no idea there was any danger or chaos at home. She knew that she had to take a break from her old life. After she had spoken with her mom, she powered down her phone and never turned it back on. She wasn't angry at anyone. She had actually decided to be happy for Emma and Brian, and she was. She hoped they had a happy life together and realized what she had felt for Brian was a slight infatuation not love. Besides, she was enjoying her life in the human world. She liked her job at the grocery store she made a few friends and Dan, her manager, was a really nice guy.The first couple of days were kind of hard. She had less than forty dollars and had to buy some clothes to look presentable. Dan had looked at her clothes and offered to buy her a few things at the second-hand shop to get her started. He did it in a way that didn't shame her and made her comfortable, so she took him up on his offer.If she was being honest, she would say the first few n
Ethan's Choice Chapter 12
Charles and Ethan talked a little about the information Charles had shared. There really wasn't a lot more that could be said. Everything made sense now. The rumors about Robert Reid's death were always stopped at it was very cruel. Ethan did not think that cruel was a strong enough word, but he was glad he did not know the truth before today. Every werewolf knows that there is no pain that can compare to being touched by silver. Ethan had never even considered that there would be people in this world who were evil enough to inject it. He felt a pain for his grandfather, a man he had never met. The agony that he faced while not only being injected but also learning of his mate's murder while being forced to listen to how his son would die was vile.
Ethan's Choice Chapter 11
Ethan had known for a very long time that his grandfather had been killed during the last breach of the lower territory nearly twenty years ago and it was rumored that the murder had been overly cruel. His thoughts were a jumbled mess. His father was telling him that it was important to know the details, but did Ethan really want to know? Afterall, his life had been quite peaceful. He was told at a young age that he would train to become a warrior, but a life was much more fulfilling if that training was never needed.Charles stared straight ahead in the direction he was driving while he contemplated how he would begin his story. "When your grandfather was a young, an age to become mated, it wasn't uncommon to be mated with a human or the product of a human-werewolf relationship. My mother, your grandmother was a half-blood." Ethan let out a slight gasp. He had known that type of mating was more common in the past, but he hadn't known that he had human blood running through h

Ethan repeated the words his father spoke, "There's been a breach in the lower territory?" Only Ethan's words came out as a question, not a statement. He was so confused. He had never known anything but peace within The Great Lakes Pack. His father broke the spell he was under when he said, "Yes, son. I can explain everything later nut right now I need you. I need you to gather all of the pack members who you've been training with. Find as many as you can. I will meet you at the house in thirty minutes. Please son, hurry."At the seriousness he heard in

"Ethan, can you come here a minute?" Ethan heard the familiar voice of Bella, his lab partner in his high school chemistry class. Bella had the look on her face that Ethan was starting to become quickly familiar with. "Not you too." He whispered under his breath. Although this time he welcomed the distraction. The thought of Brian being welcomed into the party was not a thought that he found welcoming. "Hi Bella, how's it going?" He gave her a friendly smile but nothing more, he had unconsciously decided he would not be leading anyone on ever again...even if he had to pay for sex. Bella's mouth formed into a pout as she said. "I dropped my keys in the grate on the corner. I can't reach them. Could you help me?" He was more than willing to put a little more distance between himself and the party, "Sure, lead the way."
Ethan's Choice Chapter 8
As Ashley walked away from Ethan with the saddest look Ethan had ever seen, he saw Stacey coming towards him with a very-determined look. He thought to himself, "I need a change of scenery." He headed toward the door on the front of the building pretending he couldn't hear Stacey call his name over the thump of the music that was coming from inside. He was much faster than her and was able to make it inside and into the men's room before she even crossed the threshold. Brad had watched this play out as he sat at the head table with Meghan. He gave a small chuckle, stood up and placed a kiss on his wife's forehead. "I'll be back." He laughed. Meghan replied happily, "Take your time, I'm really enjoying myself." Being sat at the head table was a huge honor and Meghan was completely engrossed in her conversation with Luna Catherine Reid. Their talk of babies had Meghan even more excited than she had alrea
