“Give me the phone,” Grayson’s gruff voice came closer and Bree could hear shuffling on the other line, so she expelled a sigh of relief. After their encounter last night, Bree expected him to avoid talking to her at all costs. She was hazy about the details. All she knew was that she kissed Grayson, and minutes later, he left like his ass was on fire.So much for using her charms to get what she wanted.“Sheriff Walker, how can I help you, Ms. Stone?” The mere sound of his voice made her skin tingly all over. Bree felt like he was right there, whispering in her ear that it raised the hair on her neck. In order to have a proper conversation with the Sherriff Bree had to take a deep breath to steady her nerves. “Oh, good.” She swallowed. “You already know it’s me, so I—”“There’s only one tourist in town right now calling the office every day, so I assumed it was you. How can I help you?”“Remember last night—”“It’s something you should forget.” He cut her off sternly.“No! I won’t!

That morning, Grayson reported to the Sheriff’s office as if nothing had happened. He lacked sleep, thinking about his inner wolf and why Slate kept insisting Brianna was his mate. Grayson had a lot of questions, but after telling him to butt out when he was with Brianna, Slate never resurfaced, as if he did not exist without her.Just as he walked through the door, he was bombarded with the report of another animal attack, so his entire morning had been occupied by calls, questions, and site visits, pushing Brianna to the back of his mind. Still, she was never far from it, as her image popped into his mind every time he had a minute to think. Visions of her lovely smile, captivating brown eyes, or just the conversation they had the night before jumped up when he was unaware.Grayson had been satisfied with his life. He had lived in Silvercreek all his years, and he did not want to be anywhere else.It had been his dream to follow in his father’s footsteps, and he was proud of the ex

There were beady eyes everywhere the light shone, but she knew it was just the creatures of the night coming out to forage for their meals.After a few seconds, her eyes adjusted to the darkness, and she could see the silhouette of the animals she had been initially afraid of.On the GPS, it said she had walked at most 15 miles into the forest, with a steady elevation of 3000 feet. Bree was surprised the workout did not make her sweat.There was no burn in her muscles, so she thought it would be better to keep hiking, but then the darkness seemed to swallow everything in its path, and she decided it was time to set up camp. There would be more hiking for the days to come, and she had to conserve energy since she had no clue when the search would end. The plan was to hit the popular camping and hiking areas while they were busy, hoping someone had seen or encountered Brandon. But she was nowhere near the campsites or her projected targets.Bree tried not to get disheartened since it w

When the image of Bran and the connection she felt disappeared, Brianna poked around the campgrounds.She could see remnants of fire pits people used for camping, but the ashes were too dry to say if they had been lit recently.It was a popular spot, so she expected to run into someone at the site, but it was empty.Surely, she thought, they wouldn’t have heard about the animal attacks unless someone from town warned them. It made her wonder if the forest service even visited the sites to check on the campers. Sooner or later, she hoped to bump into one of them to ask about Brandon.The fatigue of the first day and the headache throbbing in her head made Bree re-think about her plans for the day. Not having the energy to move forward after having a meal, she took a quick power nap to get her strength back before heading to the next campsite.It was twilight by the time she awoke and Brianna cursed herself for sleeping too long. It would be ridiculous to walk in the dark, so she opted

As the prints became obvious and more defined, Bree became more fearful.Something in the back of her mind told Bree the dream might be real. She did not want to acknowledge that stress made her sleepwalk in the forest with a wolf as a guide.So, instead of checking if her foot matched the indentations on the ground, she just looked for more clues, hoping that it would lead back to the campsite.Their family were experts at avoidance. They skirted around issues that addressed heavy topics, so it was no surprise she wanted the footprints to be a mystery. Ignorance was bliss.They got this trait from their grandma, who never answered questions they had about their heritage.The trail was taking her away from the river and she got worried. Bree looked at the path behind her, but after several minutes of hesitation, she followed the prints again, reluctantly.What was she doing in the wild, playing with a wolf? Was the wolf trying to lure her to its den, only for them to eat her later?Sh

It had been several days since Grayson heard from Brianna. In the beginning, he thought she was just avoiding him because of the uncomfortable situation they got into a few days ago. Brianna threw herself at him and gave him permission to take her to bed. But he knew she was still learning to control her urges, so he had to stop them both from making the biggest mistake of their lives. He had a feeling she was not the type of woman who had a one-night stand and creeped out of someone’s house in the morning, never to be heard from again.She appeared more classy than that and he wanted to believe that Brianna had relationships because she was in love with her partner.Turning her down had been the hardest thing he had to do, but he also wanted to be the better man and make sure that when they came together, it was because she was in control, and her actions were not dictated by her wolf.Grayson had never met anyone like Brianna before. She did not belong to a pack, so she was less su

BREE WAKE UP! Brandon’s voice screamed, jolting her from a deep sleep. She opened her eyes and looked around, searching for Bran, but she was still lying on her inflatable camp mat. “Bran? Where are you?” She asked, closing her eyes, trying to pinpoint his location, but all she saw was darkness.It was just a dream, but she got up anyway. “Bree, get out! There’s no time!” A stabbing pain pierced her head, throwing her off balance while getting out of the sleeping bag. “Run Bree! Run to the west, away from the sounds.” The urgency in his voice had her unzipping the tent and scampering in the direction he instructed.Before going to bed, she oriented the opening of the tent to the west so that when the sun came out, it wouldn’t shine on her face.“Bran? Where the fuck are you, and what am I running from?” She asked, trying to collect her bearings.“Just follow my voice and you’ll be okay.”Fear gripped her heart as she ran. Waking up in a dark place with only her brother’s voice guidin

Brianna was too busy rubbing her face against the soft fabric and taking in the musky male scent she now associated with Grayson, so he had to ask again.“Does your face hurt?” He cupped the area she was caressing when he saw the adoring look on her face and a flash of yellow in her eyes. “Are you okay?”Brianna did not understand why she was having tender feelings for Grayson at that moment. Maybe it was hero worship. After all, he was the one who found her when she was lying naked in the middle of the forest and offered his shirt.She did not answer, instead focused her hands on buttoning down the shirt he lent her.It took him an enormous amount of self-control not to stare as her hands moved down her body, clasping the buttons together. The shirt swallowed up her frame, but he could still see the beautiful curves underneath when he closed his eyes. “Can you stand?” He asked after clearing his throat. It was hard to get a grip when invasive thoughts, like running in the forest nake

“There you are.” Sean appeared after a few awkward minutes and saw Bran first. Then, when he came into the stall, it surprised him to see Marina in the corner. “Both of you.”He looked outside and wondered how Bran and Marina appeared in the stall when he checked the entire stable, bedding storage, and the surrounding areas, but never found them. Something felt off, but he kept his mouth shut, afraid Marina would cut his head off.“Is this the last stall, Marina, or do you guys need help?” He asked when no one acknowledged his presence.“I’m here to do her bidding. She just needs to instruct me what to do,” Bran said and Marina’s ears perked up with the double meaning.“Do the other stalls. I have this almost done.” She instructed without looking at Sean, afraid that her flushed face and kiss-swollen lips would betray what they did.“Okay, let’s go, buddy,” Sean grabs Bran by the shoulders, dragging him and the rake alongside him as they check the next stall.“What’s with the tension

“Let me prove it.” Their lips touched, and Marina moaned. It was far different from all the kisses they’d shared before. Those were all in her dreams, and nothing prepared her for the real thing.Soft lips peppered her with kisses as his insistent tongue drew her lips apart. Marina breathed in and she could taste the mint he was chewing on earlier. Brandon nibbled on her lips and Marina felt her legs weaken she had to grab his neck for support. She was heady with desire and didn’t even notice he lifted her from the ground until her back hit the wall. Marina wrapped her legs around Brandon’s waist and as their pelvis touched, she could feel the bulge in his pants. Were they moving too fast? Or was this normal speed? She was not sure what the norm was anymore because being with Bran was all she thought about. All he needed to do was utter the words, and she would willingly give up her morals.She saved herself for Grayson all those years by not sleeping with anyone, but having Brando

She hovered above Grayson and kissed him hungrily. “Bree,” he gasped when her fingers wrapped around his shaft to guide him inside her.He slid into her core with little resistance, making him moan louder. “Oh, Brianna.” She rocked her hips and projected images of what she remembered on their first time on the forest floor when they made love. Grayson had to clasp her hips to stop from cumming. “Slowly, or you won’t—”“No, I want it faster,” Brianna brushed off the hand holding her still, and she moved her hips at a quicker pace. Pushing in and pulling out, following the motions of someone riding a galloping horse.Bree lay spent on top of Grayson, his hands tangled around her hair and their limbs wrapped around each other. “I like this afternoon break. What brought you to ask about our first meeting.”“The boys were asking about our first meeting and I told them it took a while for our bond to appear.”“Did you, now?” He asked with a mischievous smile as he tilted his pelvis. “I t

‘It was okay. The witches were nice. Aunt Violet spoke a lot about Mom and the elders asked about my gifts.’‘What did you tell them?’‘I told them I could visit people I know in dreams. Just the minimum because I didn’t know whom we could trust.’‘That’s good we can’t give them all the details of your powers.” “I told Gran and Gramps I could visit people in dreams and sleepwalk. The werewolves that rescued me have been warned to keep quiet about it, but I wanted them to know because I didn’t want them to think we are hiding things from them.’‘Anything else you’d like to share?’‘What do you want me to say? I met my soulmate and I don’t want to meet anyone else.’‘I told you I was not there to find any prospects.’‘But you still hoped I’d match with someone else. Didn’t you?’‘That’s not the point, Bran. I will always want what’s best for you. But your memories are still hazy, so there are things you don’t remember. You might still change your mind when you do.” “I know that. But m

“Are you sure Miss Brianna?” Chad and Sean had grins on their faces as they shoved each other playfully.“Did you guys bathe last night?”The duo at the back sniffed their clothes and their pits and smiled. “We sure did. 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
Finding Home: A Twin Shifter Romance Finding Home: 132 - Secrets
“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
