Bree peeked from behind the tree trunk, her heart racing. She had never shot at anyone before, so she felt nervous. But it was just a deer looking for a snack, so she ignored it and expelled the breath she held.

She had been so preoccupied with the deer it was too late by the time she heard the heavy breathing of a wolf behind her. He was in midair when she noticed, and there was no time to move.

The wolf was poised above her, and in a second, it had pinned her to the ground. Bree pulled the trigger, sending a bullet through the enormous wolf, but he was unfazed.

He had her shoulders pinned, but her hands were free, so Bree grabbed his balls and squeezed hard, rendering him useless as he yelped in pain and shifted into his human form.

‘Bree, the path to town is towards the west. I’ll go to the east to lure them away. Let me know if someone is following you.’

‘I will. Keep safe, Bran.’

‘Remember, they don’t want to kill us. They want to capture us. Otherwise, I would have been dead a

Horrible wolves. Let Serena eat them alive.

    Grayson was mad that Brianna had outsmarted him, locking him in the cage until Aiden found him the next day.It had been humiliating, and he knew he’d never hear the end from his younger brother, but as they entered the forest and he scented Brianna in the wind together with the scent of other unfamiliar wolves, all his anger dissipated and was replaced with worry.He heard from Maggie that several unknown wolves had visited the bar the previous night without announcing their pack affiliation, and left just as fast as they arrived. It was as if they knew the person they were searching for was not at the bar. Their scents had been weak by the time Grayson arrived, so he could not determine if the men had come through the area before.Aiden reported finding an unoccupied SUV along the road leading to the other entrance to the forest, giving Grayson more reason for concern.He had been running around the forest in his wolf form to cover more ground. It was in this form that he got a str

    Grayson scented another wolf in the air as soon as he arrived and figured it was probably Bran’s scent that lingered in the air.There were some similarities to Brianna’s, so he did not pursue it. Instead, he instructed Aiden to track it so he could speak to Brianna alone.When she moved to wear the shirt he handed over, he scented yet another wolf.Immediately, he stuck his nose on her neck, not caring if it seemed inappropriate. The sudden attack surprised Brianna and pushed her back to the ground. Grayson straddled her hips, sniffed her hair, then neck as irritation multiplied by the second.“Who did you lie with?” He growled, anger rumbling in his chest.“What are you talking about?” She asked, clueless.“There’s another man’s scent on your skin.”“That’s probably my brother’s scent.” She stuttered as the lie rolled off her tongue.“You let your brother lick your entire body?”Brianna choked on a sob, remembering the wolf who had his hands and mouth running across her skin.He al

    Brianna could not believe she had been naked the entire time, and Grayson still had his pants on. She thought of getting up, conscious of where they were, but he pushed her back down, his lips following the path he used earlier to get back up to her breasts, sucking the globes into his mouth, awakening the passion he already started. Brianna could not sit quietly still. She wanted more of what Grayson offered. Bree wanted to roam her hands and feel his naked body under her fingertips and make him feel the same pleasure she did.Slipping her hand into his pants made Grayson gasp, so she felt encouraged to continue. His cock was hard as a police baton, yet the skin around it felt soft and silky, making her want to put the thing in her mouth and suck it like an ice pop.Grayson kissed her hand and stood on the side to discard his pants. He had gone commando underneath for easy shifting, so his cock sprung up as he unclasped the buttons on his jeans.He was built like a Greek god. Perfec

    “My brother is here with our pack members,” he explained seconds before a group of men of varying ages burst out of the bushes, all half-clothed.“There’s nobody else around,” Aiden reported. “…just you and your mate. Congratulations, brother. You’ll be the first. The pack will be delighted.”Grayson pulled Brianna up, her legs still feeling wobbly. The sudden motion of getting up made her woozy. She had to grab onto Grayson’s waist to keep upright. “I’m here,” he said, wrapping his arms protectively around her.“And her brother?” He asked, while kissing the top of her head. Brianna stared in the far-off distance. In her preoccupation with Grayson, she had forgotten about Brandon and whatever had happened the previous night. Realizing her error in judgment made her feel like a horrible sister. She had awoken oblivious of her surroundings and one look at Grayson and she jumped into his bed... forest. It was not important. What’s important is that Bran was still out there. Hopefully,

    “How can you hear me?”“It’s an ability that pack members and mates have with each other since we are now connected.”“Did the entire pack hear me, too?”“No, just me, unless your abilities enable you to speak to people in their minds.”She shook her head. Bree retracted the search for Bran to prevent her from accidentally divulging their secret.She wondered if there was a range to her abilities, or was the mind-speak like her connection to Bran where she could push it further?“It’s so loud. Do you hear all these sounds all the time?”“Loud? It should just be you and me on the channel. Do you hear the other pack members, too?”“No, but I hear murmurs.” Brianna paused to listen. She could definitely hear the rest of the pack talking about her and teasing each other, but she did not think her findings should be shared with Grayson right away. They had sex and all, but she knew nothing about the guy. What if he seduced her to keep her in control?So, until she completely trusted Grays

    Using energy to block communication from the rest of the pack and learning to filter the opinions she shared with Grayson took a toll on Brianna. As soon as her head hit the back of the car seat, she dozed off immediately.Grayson tried to rouse her several times, but she was sleeping too deeply, so he had to carry her upstairs to the spare bedroom to get her energy back. Brianna woke up, momentarily oblivious to her surroundings. The last thing she remembered was running out of the cave with Bran and encountering the alpha who tried to rape her and the three wolves who had ganged up on Bran.She was snug under the covers and the heavy comforter paired with the heavy woodwork on the bed frame gave her an idea that she was in Grayson’s house. The air blew in through the window, and Brianna shuddered at the eerie sensation she felt when the cold air touched her skin.‘Bran, I hope you’re safe. I’ll come find you.’ She pushed the thoughts into the darkness as she looked out the window,

    Brianna lifted her eyes with suspicion. They both knew Grayson took the diary because he wanted to read what was inside, but since he said nothing untruthful, there was no lie in his statement.“Are you the one my brother spoke of on the last page? Were your pack members hunting him down because we did not belong to any pack?”“I saw that entry, and I asked everyone, but no one had been in the forest the last few weeks.”Brianna held his gaze. So she was correct that he wanted to read the diary.“Aside from the abandoned car they found a few miles from the forest entrance a few days ago when you disappeared, there was no record of wolves visiting from other packs, either. But then again, it’s a big forest and several trails connect from Mexico to Canada, so they could have come from anywhere.”Brianna nodded. “I see.”“Did you like the bedroom? Were you comfortable enough?” He asked, changing the topic.“I haven’t seen much, but it’s lovely. Thanks for letting taking me in. I want to

    “You can’t let thoughts like that leak out and expect me to do nothing about it.”“I can’t stop it. You make me lose focus.” She looked away shyly, licking her lips unconsciously.“I feel the same way about you, but I don’t want to hear that you’re out of control when you make love with me.” Bree looked up, pursed her lips, and nodded.“I want to know that you feel every kiss.” He lifted the left hand he held and brought it to his lips, giving it a light kiss.Bree held her breath when his mouth continued to up her arm. She never knew the crook of her elbow was an erogenous zone until Grayson licked it.Brianna sighed. Her legs felt like they’ve turned to jelly, she had to lean on the counter to steady herself. The oversized shirt she wore hitched up her thigh, and Grayson’s temperature shot another degree.The pastel pink shirt made her look like a giant cotton candy ready to be eaten.“Gray…” Bree touched his hair to stop what he was doing, but the soft texture distracted her.“I l

    “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

    “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?”
