“How old were you when I was ten?” She asked.

“I was probably fourteen or fifteen. Why do you ask?”

“The date on my mother’s last entry showed Bran, and I turned ten before our trip to move to Silvercreek, so I wondered if perhaps we’ve met once when we visited.”

“Maybe. I remember little during that time except being a teenager.”

“The entry said we met with kids at the ranch and uncontrollably shifted while playing tag.”

Grayson wracked his memory. He would have remembered something as memorable as kids shifting that young. But sadly, he was probably hanging out with friends when it happened.

“I don’t remember. We can ask Aiden. Maybe he was there.”

Brianna felt awkward. They had finished lunch without really noticing the food disappearing. And now that she had run out of topics about the diary, she had nothing else to discuss.

“I have news about the animal carcasses thrown on the highway.” He said to break the silence.

“I hope you’re not here to arrest me because my brother did it.

    An alpha, according to Elizabeth, is a werewolf that was born with extra abilities, enhanced genes, and the ability to lead and command a sizeable group of wolves.Like regular wolves in the wild, an alpha is expected to be cunning, devoted, patient, and resourceful. They have the ability to communicate with all their pack members through the pack link and command them to do their bidding.Elizabeth was born into a long line of alphas who always led the pack. But as with any non-government sanctioned group, someone could always challenge them to relinquish the position. She was born an only child, and their pack did not believe a woman could be the head of their group, so they never gave her a chance to fight for her rights. Instead, they groomed her to become the perfect mate of the new alpha. Elizabeth was fairly young, barely out of her pre-teens when her father passed due to an accident, so they couldn’t marry her off right away, instead they made use of her gifts that manifeste

    Grayson had been distracted since he came from Brianna’s cabin. One would think that the stunt he pulled before leaving was to make her think of him, but the seduction worked both ways. ‘Think of me.’ He sent out through their link when he saw Brianna’s silhouette against the window when he pulled out of the driveway. But all he did was think about her. Grayson could say the reason he couldn’t keep away from Brianna was that he had been bewitched. But since Brianna had been fighting the attraction between them, and was clearly avoiding him, he could only blame his wolf genes for that.Bree crossed his mind whenever he had nothing to do, so he drove around town to order dinner and the chocolate cake early from the shops with strict instructions to deliver them to the station after office hours. He did not want the staff to see he was preparing for the date, otherwise they would be the talk of the town.Grayson thought he could trust the employees when he told them to keep everything

    ‘Think of me.’ Grayson sent out through their link when he saw her appear in the window to watch him drive away.What an arrogant prick, she thought, but thought of him all afternoon, anyway.Reading about her parent’s story made her re-evaluate her relationship with Grayson. Was kismet real?Were people, humans, shapeshifters, and witches fated to have one true love? Was there such a thing?I am a werewolf. This sentence was still hard for Brianna to comprehend, especially when she couldn’t shift independently.Bree agreed to dinner that night for two reasons. One was to know Grayson better. If they were fated to be together forever, she couldn’t promise to stay in the relationship without knowing the man.And the other reason was to coax Serena out. The wolf did not like the mind control and would only come out when she felt safe with Grayson.How would help Bran turn into a human when she can’t even shift into a wolf?Bree was getting impatient because she felt they were running ou

    “She wasn’t?” He asked, intrigued.“No, my mother was a witch.” Now everything made sense to Grayson. He heard of witches brewing concoctions of every kind. So there might have been something out there that could suppress their wolf. Having this information made him wonder if Brianna’s mother stopped their wolf from coming out?“I knew wolves found their mates in humans, but this is the first I’ve heard of this. I guess everything is possible.”“Why do you sound skeptical? My parents were deeply in love with each other. Just like any other normal couple.”“Of course they were, but I didn’t know if you knew that fact.”“Grayson, if you’re going to insult my parents under their roof, then I suggest for you to leave.”“That’s not it, Bree. I wanted you to see that they are of different origins, yet they found each other. Don’t you think it’s the same for us? We were thousands of miles away from each other. There was no chance we would have met in this lifetime had your brother not gone

    It took Brianna a hot second to make up her mind. She could blame Grayson’s muscled body leaning against hers, or the feel of his breath as his lips hovered over her, but it was all her heart’s undoing.Why shouldn’t she fall in love with a handsome man who can cook and has a stable job? Why shouldn’t she stay in Silvercreek when Bran already gave her his blessing?It had always been her pride that kept her from Grayson.Marina could be a nuisance, but in reality, Bree did not consider her a contender because she knew Grayson belonged to her the minute their eyes met after she fainted in front of the grocery store that first day she arrived.Bree didn’t want to admit she was falling so fast because there was no such thing as fated werewolves. Well, werewolves didn’t even exist a month ago. But now everything was possible. So why not romance? Why not love?Embracing the possibilities of being with Grayson opened a new can of worms. The ball was in her court and it was her turn to dict

    Bree stretched out on the bed like a contented wolf, wondering what Grayson was up to. He wound her up earlier until she gave in and then just left her to deal with her pent-up emotions. Now that she was free to pursue her feelings, she wanted to unwrap Grayson as she would excitedly unwrap a Christmas present, tearing the packaging apart, not caring about getting it back together.Grayson had been going around, talking to people, calming them down. There was nothing else he could do but check on the pack and ensure nobody got hurt. Some houses found broken figurines or vases when the wolves began mating inside the house, but so far aside from being horny and wanting to shift. Everything in the compound looked good.Grayson used his alpha authority to calm everyone down and convince them to get back inside. He suspected the lust he felt for Brianna earlier transmitted when they were together, but that had never happened before. Did he cause them discomfort? He was the only person wh

    Grayson was in town early the next morning, checking up on everyone. He dropped by the office to see if anyone reported any injuries. The night deputy reported a very uneventful evening. This was weird because even though Silvercreek was a small town, there was always something happening to people in the area.There were always missing dogs and cats. Neighbors had disputes and the local bar always had people brawling.Next, he went to the cafe that was right beside the bakery and both women seemed cordial to each other. They were competing businesses and on regular days, they would annoy each other as soon as they opened the shop. But today, the owners were smiling and complimenting each other.“Ladies, is everything good today?”“Oh yes sheriff, we have more of those pastries I sent you yesterday. I hope you didn’t finish them yet.”“No, Patrice, but I will get two boxes of baked goods. Can you deliver one box to the station?”“Definitely, Sheriff.”“Do you want anything from the caf

    Marina had been spying on Brianna the last few days and every time she came home, Marina noticed a shadow had been following her. At night when she lays in bed she pretends the shadow transforms into a man and makes love to her. Pathetic, right? But ever since Grayson found his mate, her fantasies about him weren’t giving her the same satisfaction. Marina sighed. When did she become such a shallow creature? Sure, she always pinned for Grayson, openly flirted when they were together, and tried to sneak in once or twice into his bedroom to give their relationship a jumpstart, so ever since Brianna came into the picture, she had become desperate. It was not something she was proud of.Marina did not want to be that person everybody despised, but jealousy and hate had taken over, and she couldn’t stop the hateful feeling she had for the other woman.Marina had been the town’s favorite before Brianna arrived, and though she must admit Brianna trumps her in her accomplishments in life, th

    “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?”
