“Grayson, I found an abandoned house during my search to find a hiding place, a cabin near the end of the property. Aiden said it hadn’t been lived in for fifteen years. I want to stay there until the owners come to take their place.”

“Why? I have a house and it is natural for you to come live with me.”

“I want a safe, neutral space where Bran can visit and my own sanctuary in case you tire of me.” Her chin twisted defiantly away from him.

“That would never happen. But I understand. Things are going too fast and you want to sort things out, but I have a condition.”

“What condition?”

“I want you to promise that moving to the cabin won’t mean you’re getting rid of me.”

“I just want the room to think. We’ve been together since I arrived and I can’t concentrate with all the tension floating in the air when you are around.”

He smirked. “I can’t help but want you all the time. That’s what the bond does.”

“You can visit me at the new place until we figure everything out.”

“Can I sleep over?”

    Bree woke up the next day and found Marina in the bathroom with the shower running.“Grayson, is that you? I’m ready for my back scrub.”Annoyed at the other woman’s boldness, Bree swiped the shower curtain open, ready to battle. A sly grin greeted her. “Oops, I thought you were Grayson,” Marina said dismissively as she turned around to lather the soap on her body. “I didn’t know you were still here.”Bree tried not to fall into her trap.“After the night we had, I needed to get clean. He is such a thorough lover, ain’t he? Skillful with his mouth. Just thinking about him going down on me makes me tingle all over.” Marina snickered.“Stop lying Marina. We both know nobody was in the room with you last night. Did your vibrator do the job your hand couldn’t achieve?”“Bitch!” Marina squealed and tried to lunge at Brianna, but Bree moved away just as Grayson entered the bathroom.He had been listening to the exchange, and the answer Brianna gave Marina made him smile.Grayson reached ou

    “Marina! Marina!” Grayson yelled from the kitchen, knowing she was still inside the house. He could not believe she had been so stubborn the last few days, taunting Brianna when he expressed strict instructions to leave her alone.“Hey there, sheriff!” She grinned while gliding down the stairs slowly, like a carefree cat.“I told you to stop taking a shower upstairs and to stop insinuating we have a relationship when we don’t.”“Not my fault, she’s gullible,” Marina checked her nails while hiding a smirk.“I beg you, please. She’s my wife whether or not you like it, and you should treat her the way you treat me.”“Well, then…” Marina slinked closer, the smile on her face showing her intent, but before she could wrap her arms around Grayson, he stepped aside and pushed her shoulders.“Don’t even think about it. I’m serious. You are banned from my house. Disobey the alpha’s command and suffer the consequences.”Marina could not understand why Grayson was being mean to her when last nig

    Brianna felt tormented the entire afternoon. Grayson had no work that weekend, and she had to endure being with him in the same house since he had nothing pressing to do. She went to the barn to help clean the horse stalls early in the morning, but he came looking for her, breaking the easy banter she had going with Aiden. Grayson tried to be wherever she was, so Bree hid in her room to avoid his presence, forgetting that they shared a bedroom. He smirked and followed her later, after mucking out the stalls, and stripped naked before walking to the shower. Brianna groaned and ran downstairs, earning her a loud laugh.She constantly avoided him, but there was nowhere in the house or on the property she could hide. So she suffered in silence, changing locations every time he came near.Peace finally came when Grayson reluctantly handed her the key to the cabin at the edge of the property. The place was quite dusty from years of neglect. It was a bit disorganized with the mismatched f

    He nuzzled her neck and held her tight.The kiss that followed was tender, absolutely different from the other ones they’d exchanged before.His actions caught her by surprise, that the hand sitting on his chest she would have used to push him away reached up around his neck instead, to bring him closer.There was something about Grayson she could not resist. It was not only because he had an amazing body, and he knew how to pleasure her every time they had sex. She felt they were connected on a spiritual level. But how could that happen when they just met?Bree pushed Grayson back when his mouth traveled to her neck, and his hands cupped her breasts. She felt troubled at the thought that her actions were dictated only by their bond.The need she felt clouded her judgment and made her want to have sex with Grayson constantly. It was the natural cycle of any species. After a werewolf meets their mate, the couple is compelled to bring more of their kind into the world to ensure their

    ‘Serena.’ She reached out to her wolf, only to be rejected.To Bree, it had been only yesterday when she passed out on the floor when she saw Grayson standing naked with Marina in the bathroomBut if Grayson was telling her the truth, that they had been together the past few days, it meant she had been having memory lapses again, which only happened when Serena took over.Bree reached out again, pleading for the wolf to let her in.‘You wanted to forget. But I don’t,’ Serena answered while Grayson observed her with a puzzled expression. Brianna looked like she was in a trance, so he assumed she was talking to her wolf.He learned early on that whenever Brianna’s eyes glazed over; she was busy communicating with her wolf. It was something that should come naturally to werewolves, but since Bree did not grow up knowing she was a shapeshifter, it was taking some getting used to. He could easily talk to Slate and not lose concentration or sight of what was in front of him. It was natural

    Grayson sighed. He knew it would take time to convince Bree of his sincerity, but he had an explanation that would allay her fears. “Nobody but Aiden knows this, but before you came, I’ve been sleeping in my office every evening. The couch becomes a bed at night.”“Why?”“I’m the alpha and I have certain duties. I can’t have a horny teenager dictate my sleep schedule.”“You said nothing can stop her. She can just as easily get into the office as in your bedroom.”“That’s not true. It’s the one room in the house where nobody but I can enter without an invitation.”“And you think I should believe that?”“I will be here first thing tomorrow morning and you can sniff me all you want, for evidence.” He grinned.“I have a lot to think about. Maybe you should go.” Bree couldn’t pry herself from his lap. She had comfortably sat on his knees and it was hard to move from the snuggly position. One move was all it would take, and they’d be naked and doing the horizontal dance again. So Brianna

    After Bran left, Bree went inside and found several sheets in the boxes, so she made all the beds in the house. To make it look more welcoming. Having all the furniture and boxes sitting around made it feel eerie.She laid her head on the pillow, but sleep wouldn’t come. How could she stay indoors when she knew Bran patrolled the area around their new house? So she stayed up the entire night and opened more boxes. There were a lot of books about werewolves written by fantasy authors and she thought it would be a good idea to pass the time by reading the materials. As Grayson said, not everything that was written about the wolves was accurate, but at least she could compare notes using her experience.She found a bookshelf downstairs and started stacking it up. The family seemed to have a penchant for reading fantasy books, as they also contained stories about mermaids, fairies, and witches. There were tomes that looked old and dusty, so Bree set those on the bottom where all the he

And she used it when she needed space.Most of the time, she spent her days at the Walker Ranch and was welcomed by Grayson’s family. So now that he told her to leave, she felt lost.She had never felt alone even when her parents died, but now, without the brothers constantly nagging and teasing her, the loneliness was magnified.Grayson had given Marina the ultimatum, and she was not happy that he threatened to banish her just because Brianna, the bitch, complained about her.She was supposed to be the alpha’s wife. The pack’s most treasured member, but now everything had changed.Disgusted with the turn of events, Marina did as she always would when faced with adversity.

    “Come, the food is ready.” Brutus was in charge of the barbecue and as he opened the cover for the grill, the glorious smell of roasting meat made Brandon’s stomach grumble.It had been days since he last ate. He doesn’t even know how long he’s had grilled meat and hearing the fat sizzling on the hot red coals made him salivate. The men around him laughed, but his attention was focused on the darkened slab of ribs Brutus took out, and seeing his hungry expression, the pack enforcer did not hesitate to give him the first serving. “Hmm…” Brandon closed his eyes as he savored the meat melting in his mouth. The sauce dripped down his fingers and he licked it off clean, not caring that people were watching.Slice after slice of meat appeared in front of him together with potatoes, cobs of corn, and several pieces of bread, and Bran gobbled them all up like the starving man that he was.“Save some for us,” Rick joked after seeing Brandon had stopped growling and slowing down. “I’m sorry,

    Brandon couldn’t walk out of the cabin even if he wanted to. It had been a struggle to keep his wolf form, and he doubted he could even walk upright since he remembered crawling most of the way to get to the cabin.Every muscle in his body was tingling and his bones felt weak, making him wonder how he helped the woman the last few days when he couldn’t even move.Then he remembered he had been handling the Calabar beans without gloves and had been inhaling the fumes every time he brewed the tea.He heard Violet mention it was poisonous, and he did not heed her warnings about brewing the tea in an open area to have the least amount of contact with the poison.The effect on him had been gradual, given that he was also a werewolf whose body could heal itself. But over time, and with no sustenance to replenish the energy used to flush it out of his system, the poison stayed in his body longer.It was Brianna who figured out what was making him weak when he was unresponsive after two days

    Brandon woke up the next day with his back touching a mattress so soft he thought he was dreaming. It had been a while since he slept indoors. He was sure it was a trick his mind was playing on him.Bran was weighed down by several blankets to keep the cold away and as he peeled them off slowly, he noticed the scents of the items around the room reminded him of home. He hadn’t expected to stay in his human form, but after his drastic shift, it became difficult to switch back. Thorne had warned him not to interfere. But the thought of leaving a human in need felt wrong.He only had to think of Brianna lying alone in the woods and his protective instincts kicked in.Bran remembered visiting this human in her dreams repeatedly, giving him another reason to help.He could feel the sorrow and the pain she felt, and he wondered if he was empathetic towards her because he had felt the same feelings while growing up. While in school, he felt lost and alone, despite being among people he thou

    Momentary silence…then angry growls erupted around her. Bree tried to reach for Bran through their link, but all she felt was fear. The terror she felt from her brother had been too great. It consumed her as well. She did not know what was happening, but if Bran was scared, it meant something horrifying was happening. He was the bravest person and feared nothing, so she knew to keep quiet instead of crying out for help.Heavy footsteps thudded closer to her location, and Brianna strained to see what made the sounds. Labored breathing told her they were closer. Sitting upside down distorted her perception, but a window to the left that remained uncrushed offered her the opportunity to see the feet of an animal twice the size of any regular dog she’d seen. It had such enormous claws that Brianna almost let out a scream.‘Bran, I’m scared.’ She cried to him as her body shook in fear. ‘Close your eyes, Bree. It’ll be over soon.’She could feel the end coming. The wolves she saw in the

    Marina woke up in the comfort of her bedroom a few days later, weak and thirsty. A glass of water sat on her bedside table, and she gulped the liquid greedily, spilling some of its contents down her sleeping gown.She sat up in bed and wondered how she got there. The last thing she remembered was running through the forest and crying her eyes out. She had eaten the berries by the riverbed and asked for death to take her, so when the hooded figure appeared, she was sure all her problems were gone. It was death, come to take her home.Marina laid back down and screamed at the top of her lungs. She stomped on the bed and used both fists to pound on the soft cushion like a child throwing a tantrum.She was mad that even death wouldn’t allow her the peace she wanted, so she blamed other people. Why me? I wanted to die. This is all Brianna’s fault. That bitch keeps interfering with my life.And the first thing she did after taking a shower and hatching out her plan was to call Seth.“I s

    Brianna just stood to the side, and Violet pushed her toward the house. “No, Vi. This is Brandon. I told him we found the cure.”“You talk with him through your mind?”“Yes, we’ve done it since we were kids.”“That is astounding. I’ve never heard of a wolf having telepathic abilities outside the mate bond before.”“I guess we are rare. They said wolves never had twins before, either.”Brandon scolded her for telling their secret, and Brianna just smirked. How else could she explain his sudden appearance?Brandon was getting impatient. ‘Give me the pods so I can make the cure.’‘You have to shift. Violet says every part of the plant is poisonous and putting it in your mouth might kill you before you can help your friend.’‘Place it in a bag and wrap it around my body. Hurry Brianna. We do not have time. She might die and I can’t—’Brianna ran into the house and found a kid’s backpack. She emptied its contents and hurried to gather some of the pods, a few of the leaves, and the flowers,

    Brianna had been worried about Brandon. After he almost ran into Seth’s men, she had been more worried, but he was stubborn, unwilling to compromise his freedom.Grayson was right. They were more vulnerable apart. So she tried to convince him to stay in the cabin with her, but Bran insisted Grayson was enough to do the job of guarding her. So she let him be. There was no convincing Bran to do things when he’d already said no. Not having her link with Bran made it more difficult to stay in the cabin and read through her mother’s books. She couldn’t bother Grayson too much during the day because he needed to concentrate on doing his job as the sheriff.Bree was amazed at the amount of information the books contained. It had everything from the beneficial uses of everyday household items to love potions, curses, and cures for every ailment.She wondered if modern medicine would benefit from reading through any witch’s journal.‘What is the cure for Belladonna?’ Bran interrupted her thou

Proceed with caution.Brandon had finally shaken off the goons after him and was on his way to check on Brianna when a brown wolf darted across his path. He sniffed at the odor it left behind and discovered it was a female wolf.The trail she took would lead her deeper into the forest, and he wondered if he should follow. There was something familiar about her, but a scent masked her true identity.Thorne, his wolf, objected to following the unknown wolf because they just evaded four of Seth’s pack members and didn’t want to run into them again. They had been relentlessly on his trail the past few days, but Brandon won the argument. Leaving a stray wolf to two rival packs bent on finding each other might mean trouble.Thorne, like any wolf who grew up taking care of Bran and Bree, could not let a lost wolf wander in the forest without protection. So Bran pursued the brow

Proceed with caution.Seth was using his alpha command on Marina, and she had no escape. There was no choice but to follow his every command.“I want you to suck my cock, but don’t worry, we’re not having sex. That is reserved for Brianna, my little angel. And so are my seeds. We need that to make beautiful children.” “But, Seth—” He grabbed her hair with his right hand and shoved her face to his crotch.Marina felt mortified as her face came into contact with his balls.“We both saw what they were doing. Suck my cock like Bree did with Grayson. And don’t think about biting me, or I will end you.” “But I haven’t done this before.” Marina angled her head away and felt him tug at her hair. Stronger this time. “Well, there’s no better time to start than now. I’m an excellent teacher,” he sneered while using his left hand to cradle his cock and raise it to her mouth.“Ple
