Finding Home: A Twin Shifter Romance Finding Home: 20 - Forest
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

“Oh, so is this an added service? I did not know the sheriff kissed all the missing tourists as a reward for finding them?” A man standing a few feet behind Grayson spoke jokingly, jarring him out of the racy situation they were in.Grayson found Brianna easily because of her scent. As she wrapped her arms around him, the intoxicating smell of citrus lemon combined with the creamy coconut scent overwhelmed his sense of smell, which is why he never got a whiff of his brother’s approach.Aiden grinned. He had been on vacation when Briana arrived, so he only knew about her from the gossip going around town, and he was surprised that nobody mentioned the perfect pairing between the newcomer and his brother.The gentle wind changed directions, and he could smell the arousal coming from the pair. Grayson pushed Brianna back to stand on the ground, and Aiden noted he had never seen his brother look so tenderly at anyone as he did with Brianna at the moment.He knew there was something beyond

Bree opened her eyes and was embraced by complete darkness. She did not remember it being dark in the forest, but wherever she was, her eyes were taking forever to adjust.Her head pounded when she tried to get up, so she took deep breaths and laid back on the soft mattress.That seemed to help, so she closed her eyes and listened to the sounds around her, and there was silence. Even her ears felt funny, like they had cotton balls stuffed inside.Rest, her body dictated, but Brianna did not want to succumb to the darkness, so she groped her way around the room. She assumed she was in a room because the smell of dirt and the forest sounds were nowhere near. As she moved, her bladder made it known that she needed to use the bathroom.Grayson. She remembered seeing the sheriff earlier, so she knew he must have brought her to his home.“Agh!” Brianna screamed when her feet touched the cold, hard ground. The floor was dusty and dingy, and she wondered if he put her in the basement without

“Tell me you didn’t feel your fingers tingle before your claws came out?”“No, you did that. It was a magic trick.”He shook his head. “Do you remember what happened after I found you this morning?”“You found me?” Her brows came together to recall what happened. She blushed remembering the kiss, then her eyes grew enormous when she remembered waking up naked in the forest and Grayson draping his shirt as a cover. Her memory had been spotty ever since and there was nothing about the campsite that appeared in her mind.“I found your tent at the fire lookout and followed your scent.”“Where are my stuff? Did you get my clothes?”“Why were you sleeping outside?”“Bran. He told me to get out and run away. Someone was after us.”“Did you find your brother?”“No, I didn’t see him. He woke me up, and I followed his voice. We just kept running in the dark.”“Then what happened?”“I woke up, and you found me. What happened at the campsite?”“We couldn’t save anything. Everything was in tatters.

I got up, yet my body remained on the bed. Am I still dreaming?I walked through the house and checked through the rooms, yet everyone else was asleep and nobody even felt that I was there.Downstairs, I heard some sound originating from the kitchen, so I went to investigate. A shadow opened the oven door and took out several biscuits that were still warming on the tray. I hid behind a post, afraid that the oven light would give away my position, but when the person passed by the island and grabbed a few chocolate chip cookies, I knew they were oblivious to my presence.Why would someone steal from the ranch kitchen when Amelia welcomed anyone who wanted to come over and eat? Curious about the person’s motive and identity, I followed the robber and was surprised the person led me to the barn. Keeping a safe distance, I followed several steps away and saw the person go up the stairs to the hayloft. There were no lights around, so I wondered how the person could see in the dark.Are

“Brandon has burn marks on his back and they looks fresh.”“What? Where?” Bree tried to pull the blanket covering Bran’s body to see the evidence herself, but Grayson used his feet to sweep her aside.“You know that your brother is naked under the sheets. Do you think he’ll be happy to know that you saw him without his clothes?”“I’ve seen him naked plenty of times.”“Brianna,” Grayson scolded, and for a brief moment she had a reason to smile. “I didn’t see any fire at the site. Where did he get the burn marks?”“Must be a cattle prod, alpha. We found one lying around a few feet away from the site. They tried to hide it, but we were better.” Someone from the back replied.“Bring it to the kitchen. We can locate which ranch it came from.”Gray headed to Brandon’s room as Bree followed behind with worry.“Who would do this? Do you think Seth’s grandpa had found out what happened and sent someone for retaliation?” She asked, eager to know what happened and if they needed to be cautious.

Bran had never been smooth with the ladies, but he never knew anyone who would knee him in the groin without provocation. He just asked for her name. Was that not allowed in society anymore?After recovering from his pain, Bran limped back to the ranch, spending time with the cows forgotten. He figured having a scraggly beard and mustache did not make him appealing to anyone. He probably looked like a hermit, foraging in the woods.‘Not ugly,’ a voice whispered.“Hello!” He called out behind him, wondering where the voice came from.A sharp pain stabbed Bran between his eyes, radiating to the back of his head. The intensity of his headache made him double over and fall onto the leaf-strewn forest floor.‘Bree!’ He called out before hitting the ground.At the ranch, Brianna was busy exchanging stories with Amelia when she heard Bran through their link. Eyes glazing over, she tried to pinpoint his location and failed. Without saying anything, she ran upstairs, only to find his room emp

It had been several days later when Bran finally woke up, and even though he tried to recount the events of what happened in his head, Bran could recall nothing.Two months, he had lost two months from his memories and he wondered if he was missing anything else aside from what Brianna had already told him.He was walking in the pasture, heading for the cows grazing the field, when a scent tickled his nose. The sweet intoxicating aroma of newly baked butter cookies teased his senses and he couldn’t help but follow.“Wait! Who are you?” Bran called out as he caught up to the person weaving between the trees, obviously trying to avoid detection.He was surprised to find a woman clothed in black, her hair tucked under a black beanie.“I don’t want trouble. I just wanted to see how you were doing.” “I’m okay. My memory is a little rusty, but everything will return soon enough.” Marina heard about his amnesia, and she wondered if he knew who she was. They were never officially introduced,

Baked bread, grilled meat, and fried bacon teased the senses as Brandon regained consciousness. A warm, soft hand pressed against his forehead before brushing the hair away from his face.“You’re going to be okay,” an old woman’s voice tickled his ears. Stirring him from slumber.“Nana? I’m sorry…I failed you.”The cushion by Bran’s hip dipped low. “No, you didn’t. You did good. Brianna, Grayson, and the rest of the pack are safe because of you.”Bran struggled to open his eyes, it had been only hours since he had been rescued and his werewolf blood was supposed to wipe out the toxins from his body easily, but the people who captured them dumped too much of the concoction into his body that it would take several more hours to be completely gone.“Do you know you were able to mask every pack member’s presence as they waited outside for their chance to attack?”“What?”“The pack members who were present said the forest appeared like something from a horror movie. Everything was inky bla

Grayson and their group looked out of place. Muscled men coming out of several sports utility vehicles in a hiking area in the middle of the woods didn’t look like a friendly hiking expedition.The sunlight was fading fast in the mountains, and the pack knew the darkness would help camouflage their identities when they shifted. They can’t have reports of multiple untagged and undocumented wolves running around the park when it wasn’t necessary. It could give away their entire existence.But time is of the essence. Seth had intentions of severing the mating bond between Grayson and Brianna. They figured Seth wouldn’t dare kill her, but he could always take her against her will, and that could damage her confidence and reject her bond with Grayson because of her mental state.Not having the exact location for the turnoff marker and the cabin could be troublesome, but they had to do everything for Brianna, or he would never forgive himself.‘Grayson, where are you?’ He almost toppled o

Every wolf hoped to have a mate fated for them to love until the end of time. And when this event happens, nobody could intercede, unless one of the couple decides to reject the bond.“I have a fated mate,” Victor replied, challenging James’ statement.James sneered. “Brianna rejected your bond and has mated with Seth, my most promising alpha, and he deserves it.” Grayson remained impassive. “Our bond goes beyond the physical. I would have felt if it had been severed.”“Which only means there is no such thing.” James sneered.“Just because it never happened to you, it doesn’t mean it’s not true. Do you want to remain obstinate by keeping the twins?” Victor inquired.“Leave one of them to show good faith.”“No! The twins are better off together.” Victor replied.“What are you talking about? Never in wolf history did anyone have twins because they often eliminate each other in the womb. So these two will eventually kill each other, whether you like it or not. Why not separate them now

“Grandpa, what are you doing here?” Grayson was holding a meeting with the Silvercreek pack elders, which included the werewolves, all the magical individuals, and other shape-shifting creatures that called Silvercreek their home. “I know you are the alpha of this pack, grandson, but it’s not frowned upon to ask for help from your elders when you are in a bind.” All the elders gathered around the table nodded. Earlier, most of the group had expressed that Grayson should have asked them for help before meeting with Seth in the clearing, so the kidnapping could have been avoided. “Attacking another pack should be the last option.” Victor Walker, the pack’s retired alpha, had flown on the red eye from Florida when he learned about the abduction. He wanted to get there first thing the next morning to scold Grayson for not coming prepared.“I am sorry. I know I should have consulted you sooner, but I thought we had it under control.”“How could you let a woman string you along and lead

Something felt wrong, but Bree couldn’t stop from sighing and leaning into the lips that were kissing her neck. She felt a soft hand caress her hip down to her thighs, and she moaned.It had only been a day since she last saw Grayson, but there was a hunger inside her whenever they came together. Would it always be like this?She had never been with a man so generous with his affections before. There was no guessing about his feelings when Grayson was concerned. Bree could always tell what he was thinking, even without probing his mind. And that was usually sex when she was concerned.Bree was glad to be back in Grayson’s arms, in her home, with nobody to hear her moan and pant when he gave her pleasure.She was going through all the motions of seduction, but why could she see Brandon in the corner of her eye?‘Get out of here, you pervert.’ She hissed, scolding her brother through their link.‘That’s not Grayson, Bree. You have to wake up or you’ll regret this for the rest of your li
