Twins, Brandon and Brianna Stone, always felt they never belonged. Having lost their parents at a young age taught them to rely only on each other. So when Brandon disappears during a hiking trip, Brianna had to follow, only to find there was more than her brother waiting for her. Will the siblings find a home where they belong, or will their new normal throw them into chaos? Grayson Walker, Sheriff of Silvercreek, pack Alpha will keep everything in his power to keep the peace, so when rogue wolves appear in his town, he needs to eliminate them immediately, but what is he supposed to do when one of them is his mate?

Put on some clean clothing too. Good thing we weren’t out mucking horse shit—” Sean earned an elbow to his side. “—excuse me, horse dung this morning.”“Then you’re good.”“Did you plan this?” Bran’s accusing voice cut through Brianna’s thoughts.“What are you saying?”“Am I going to the coven to meet my mate?”“What? No. I told you there’s a tea gathering ritual and most coven elders will attend. I didn’t want to make a special request for you to come see them.”“Yeah, and it just conveniently happened that all the young female witches are also there.”“Brandon, don’t be a tool.”“Don’t be a matchmaker, Brianna, not after I told you I liked Marina.”“I’m not.”“Whatever.”It was easy to disregard the sour mood emanating from the siblings when the two young men at the
Bree glimpsed Marina leaving through the back door as she arrived. It had pleased Bree that the other woman had been avoiding contact. Good, she ought to know her place. I won’t back down this time.She was taking in groceries when she found Brandon coming down from upstairs.“Good morning sleepy head. I heard you’ve been having late night naked jaunts in the forest. How is that going?”“Really? You dangle that under my nose. I heard you were doing the same thing when you first shifted, and I even heard someone had sex in the middle of the forest for everyone to hear.”Bree blushed. “Shut your mouth! I had no control during that time.”“Oh yeah?” He grinned. “Is that how it is when you find your mate? You have no control and you just jump them wherever you are?”“Stop putting words into my mouth. Go back to being sick. I liked it better when you slept all day.”Brandon laughed. “Honestly, tell me how it is to have a mate. Is it like what they said about having a soulmate?”“It’s that
“Tonight you found yourself naked in the fields because you transformed into your wolf, but were too weak to control it long enough. What happened before you shifted?”“I had a dream. This woman was elusive, so I chased her on foot through the trees, then she disappeared. I looked around but she was nowhere to be found. Like she disappeared or was never really there.“After that, I heard howling in the distance like several wolves were now chasing me instead, so I ran like my life depended on it. I got faster and stronger and saw paws instead of hands, claws instead of nails.”“How was your bedroom, did you destroy anything?” Grayson smiled.“I saw a lot of fabric bits and I assume those were from my clothes when I went to bed.”Gray nodded. “Just so you know if you break the furniture, you have to re-build it.”“I’m sorry, I will check again and yes I will fix anything I’ve broken.”“What do I do now?”“I have to lock you up at night.”“You mean behind bars?”“Yes, until you have con
“Marina, wait up! I rarely see you during meal times. Is everything alright?” Brandon had just come down from his room and found Marina on her way out. Like the last few days, she’s been having breakfast later to steer clear of the breakfast crowd. In reality, she was trying to avoid Grayson and Brianna most of all. Brandon wanted to join everyone for breakfast, but lately, he had been too tired. They played tag every night to tap into his werewolf abilities, which depleted most of his energy, and then when his head hit the pillow, dreams of wandering around the farm in the dark drained him to the last drop.He’d never heard of dreams sucking out a person’s energy before, but that is how it felt.“Oh yeah. Dinner with everyone present is too much for me sometimes. The noise level gets too high and it’s difficult when you hear everything.”“I get you, I’m still weirded out when I hear people’s hearts beating too loud.” Marina looked at Bran, wondering what he thought about hers speed
“I know your grandmother.” Victor looked at Brandon and Brianna while he delivered the big secret he’d been keeping since he learned of their arrival at Silvercreek.“You do?” They asked in unison.“Yes. Your grandmother sought refuge in Silvercreek for a while when she first ran away, but our pack was smaller then and though we offered her sanctuary she didn’t stay.”“But my parents came back. Did they know Nana was here before?”“We told them she was here, but to ask her about our encounter.”“I wonder why Nana didn’t bring us here directly after our parents passed away?”“She must have been scared. The accident site wasn’t too far from here and we suspected foul play when we found werewolf tracks.” “We tried to talk to your grandma at the hospital, but she disappeared and took both of you with her.” Amelia sat beside her husband. “She must have found the same tracks on the site and it spooked her.”“We had no idea our family was a bunch of werewolves. I always considered Nana to b
“Brandon, I see you’ve finally come in. Are you happy rolling in the hay all day and getting acquainted with the animals?” Brianna was alone in the kitchen, peeling and chopping vegetables for dinner.“That’s an insult to the cute animals, but even though I wanted to hang out with them all day, I got to muck out the stables for the horses. Have you ever seen one up close before?”“No. They are majestic, but you are wearing more of their dung that you cleaned out.”Bran laughed. “It’s amazing here. Who knew such a place existed? I made up my mind.”“About what?”“Staying in Silvercreek.”“I thought you were unsure.” “I didn’t think there was a life for me here.”“What do you mean? They’ve welcomed us with open arms and we have a house that mom and dad paid for over the years.“I know, but what happens after you’ve settled in? I don’t want to be the third wheel forever.”“You’re family—”“I know that,” he sighed. “But now I have more than one reason to stay.”“Why now? What happened?”
Gran glares at Grayson. “You don’t need to be so mean to her. You know how tragic it was to lose her parents to hunters, and she’s just craving for attention.”“She’s used that card for far too long and it’s time she grew up. We’re not kids anymore and I have a good reason not to let her sleep in the house.” He said, taking his stance.“Bree, are you bothered by their relationship?” Gran turned her focus to the other person in the room.“Marina and I don’t have a relationship.” Grayson interjected rudely before Bree could reply. “Don’t worry too much, dear. It’s a harmless crush. She used to follow my grandsons around when she was younger, and I guess she never grew out of it.”‘Are you going to tell your grandma the real reason or will you let me look bad in her eyes?’ Bree asked Gray with annoyance.“Don’t argue with me, Gran.”“Why don’t you let Brianna speak?”“I don’t think she’ll ever forgive me for stealing Grayson from her.”“Oh, that child, she’s still a selfish little girl
“I heard Gran call my name. I’ll see you at the house.” She used her werewolf ability to run from Bran, thinking she would get there first because she got a head start, so she was surprised when he ran beside her, yelling for her to go faster.He made the task look easy. The distance from the barracks to the house spanned several acres of land. To a normal person driving a truck or a golf cart would be ideal to get around the property, but werewolves have the speed and strength to use their own feet which would definitely get them to their destination faster, and if they couldn’t use their feet, they could use all four paws.Both got to the house at the same time and Marina did not know if she was really that fast or if Bran made adjustments, so she didn’t feel bad.“What is your ideal breakfast?” Bran changed his choice of topic, seeing she would never talk to him again if he kept broaching the same subject. “Whatever gran makes. Everything tastes good.”“You don’t have that one thi
“Brandon! I thought you left?” Marina almost jumped out of her skin when the object of her dreams manifested when she opened the door.She made sure everyone had left before getting up and starting her day. Using her enhanced hearing, Marina listened to every movement and every conversation, training her ears to detect Brandon’s voice.Aiden knocked on his door. “Bran, we’re heading out. Don’t delay or you’ll have no food to eat. Gran’s breakfast won’t last long.”“I’m right behind you.” Brandon got up, shuffled around to pick up his clothes, peeled the sheets off the mattress, and followed the other pack members.And as soon as the main entry door banged shut, Marina was sure everybody had left.She got up, stripped the sheets from the bed and pillow, then wrapped a towel around her body. There was no way she’d go to breakfast without removing the sweat and evidence of what happened while she was dreaming about Bran.It was time to wash the sheets and take a shower so she could go b
“Bree—help—Silver—having dreams—wolves—out of time—don’t come.”Beep! The answering machine recorded the message just as Bree opened the door. The key always stuck, and she always thought of fixing it but never had the time.Her heart sank when the last beeping sound signaled that the person on the other line had dropped the call. She heard Bran’s voice on the other side of the door as she wrangled with the stubborn lock.He never called during the week, knowing she was at work, so she felt disappointed that she made a last-minute decision to pass by the grocery store instead of heading straight home.Bree tried to call the number back by dialing *69 but it gave her the busy dial tone. It had been a couple of weeks since they last spoke and not having her brother nearby for more than half the year got her concerned. And after the puzzling message Bran left on the machine, she felt more anxious. Why would he ask for help, and then tell her not to come? He had been in trouble before, b...
