Finding Home: A Twin Shifter Romance Finding Home: 73 - Patrice
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

“Bree—help—Silver—having dreams—wolves—out of time—don’t come.”Beep! The answering machine recorded the message just as Bree opened the door. The key always stuck, and she always thought of fixing it but never had the time.Her heart sank when the last beeping sound signaled that the person on the other line had dropped the call. She heard Bran’s voice on the other side of the door as she wrangled with the stubborn lock.He never called during the week, knowing she was at work, so she felt disappointed that she made a last-minute decision to pass by the grocery store instead of heading straight home.Bree tried to call the number back by dialing *69 but it gave her the busy dial tone. It had been a couple of weeks since they last spoke and not having her brother nearby for more than half the year got her concerned. And after the puzzling message Bran left on the machine, she felt more anxious. Why would he ask for help, and then tell her not to come? He had been in trouble before,

Days after Bree got that nagging feeling that something significant was about to happen in their lives, she made time to confront him.“What is happening, Bran? Why now? Why are you leaving? Aren’t you happy here with me?” She stood to level their stare, but he had grown more than a foot taller in just a year, making it hard to plead her case when he looked down on her.“I just want to find out who I am, Bree. See if I can do this on my own.” Bran stood by the bookcase in the living room, picking at the well-worn books on the shelf, ignoring her, so she sat back down.“Of course, you can do anything,” she said encouragingly. But then tried to pull at his heartstrings. “But why now? I’ll have no one.”He raised a brow. They were adults, and Bree had been always independent since they were kids. So he knew this was an attempt to make him stay.“Because we’ve always talked about this hiking trip with Mom and Dad, remember? And it’s time to conquer the great outdoors.”“I remember, but th

“Bran, is it too late to convince you not to leave?” Brianna asked as she picked on the straps of his backpack. She was still hugging him and wouldn’t let go. They were at the airport and Bree took the day off to drop him off before his big adventure.“Bree, I’m just a few states over.” Brandon pushed her off his chest a few inches so he could see her face, but she had her head bent because she did not want him to see the tears in her eyes. He grimaced and kissed her forehead. “You can always hop on the plane and see me if you want.”He hugged her again, making her tear up more.“I know that. I guess I just don’t like being left behind.” She mumbled.“I’ll be back in six months and then you’ll tire of having me around the house. Enjoy your time without me. Grab a boyfriend or two while I’m gone.”Bree snickered. “Sure, let me flirt with the hot police officers while I’m training. That will do me good.”“As long as you like them, then I’m okay with that. Don’t let them intimidate you

Bree paced at the car rental shop. The number of customers ahead of her could be counted on one hand, so there should be no reason for the delay when there were two employees present.She could hear the person in the front struggle with signing up. They were having issues with the mode of payment as the credit card company put a hold on the approval.Bree usually had the perseverance to stand on the sidelines and listen to people’s issues, but today she was getting short. As if sensing her anger, the other staff member finished making small talk with the person they were helping and directed them to another employee to get their car.When she got the approval to find her brother, Bree immediately booked the rental. The place he last called from was an hour away from the closest airport, so public transportation was definitely out of the question.Chicago had very awful traffic, and they had trains and buses everywhere, so there never was a need to get a car. And now she wondered if ma

“What can I get you, honey?” A middle-aged lady asked as she sat on the counter.“A cup of coffee and pancakes if you have them.” Flying out early that morning made her miss breakfast, and because of the short flight, the airlines did not bother to serve any snacks.“You new around town or just passing through?” the woman inquired politely.“Actually, I am looking for my brother. He was here a week ago, using your phone to call me. I wonder if you’d seen him around.”“What does he look like? Lots of people come around here and I’m good with faces.” The lady looked sympathetic, which put her at ease.“He looks exactly like me, same brown eyes and black hair. Probably scruffier around the face because he has a beard by now and is more than a foot taller.”“Can’t say I’ve seen someone like that pass through here.”“Do you have any cameras we can check? Maybe you weren’t here when he came in?” “How are you so sure he called from here?” The old lady asked suspiciously. Bree noticed she ha

`“Marg, I heard we have someone new in town. What do you think of our visitor?” Grayson sauntered into the diner and sat at the counter to get news about the newcomer.“Who told you? The office grapevine?” He smiled and shook his head while accepting a cup of coffee.“Hmm… I can’t put my finger on it. There’s something different about this one.”“Not your typical lost tourist?”Marg pursed her lips. “You’ll find out when you see her. Use your nose. I think she’s one of us.”“One of us? And she didn’t announce her affiliations?” She shook her head. “Pack?” “Don’t think she’s aware. Something is masking her scent. I barely caught it.” A growl began in his chest. It was one thing to pass through town undetected, but to stop by the dinner and not declare which pack she belonged to meant the person was a rogue or was trying to stir up trouble and did not want anyone to know where she was from.Grayson Walker, alpha for the Silvercreek wolves, kept the peace among the packs around the tri

In the car, Grayson did not hesitate to interrogate Bree as soon as he set the car in motion. “So you want to tell me why you were looking for me?”“I called and left several messages a week ago regarding my brother, Brandon Stone, and nobody called me back.”“Brothers disappear all the time. I take it this is not the first time he left home without telling you?”“My brother has been on this six-month-long hiking trip on the Continental Divide. He was supposed to come home two—no, three weeks ago when he decided to extend his trip, said he wanted to see the waterfalls here in Washington.”“Silvercreek is a long way from that trail. Are you sure he was in this area?”“Yes, I’m sure he was in this area because the last phone he called from was the diner’s landline.” The sheriff’s brows furrowed. “Bran calls me every weekend without fail and it’s been two weeks. I have a feeling something bad happened to him.”“Why did you wait two weeks?”“I called your office and the ranger station a fe

Finding Home: A Twin Shifter Romance Finding Home: 72 - Alpha
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

“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.

‘Are you mad I did not tell you?’‘Why would you ask that? We are going through this werewolf thing blindly and every day is a revelation. I don’t begrudge you in keeping some things to yourself.’‘This is the last one, I promise. Do you want me to visit Grayson in his dreams and scare him a little?’‘Don’t. We need to keep some secrets to ourselves. I know, Gray says we’re mated forever, but I want us to have the upper hand if we need it.’ ‘I agree.’‘Do you want to keep reading?’‘Sure. Bree, I just want to apologize. I didn’t tell you sooner. I thought I’d have time.’‘Bran, what’s important is that we’re communicating and we’re together.’‘Okay, keep reading.’‘I’m skipping mom and dad’s courtship. I’ll go straight to something that involves us.’‘As you wish.’-=-I heard them arguing again. Elizabeth did not want the kids introduced to the new pack. She said it was dangerous. Packs were dangerous groups and Patrick knew nothing about them.But how could we be in danger when th

Elizabeth warned me of danger several times, making me wonder if she was an oracle. I had the mark of the sisterhood and anybody in a coven recognized each other, but since she never opened up about it, I had to see for myself.Was she a witch in hiding? Is that why they kept moving?‘Wait! What?? Brandon. Mom is a witch?’ She was glad he had checked in earlier and accompanied her while she read the diary. A big revelation, such as their mom being a witch, would be hard to contain.‘No wonder we always had those herbs hanging around in the kitchen and little bottles with all sorts of things inside them.’Brianna slapped her forehead. She should have gotten a clue from the books when she put them away. The covers did not look like any regular storybook. Then the pages looked timeworn and most of the text was handwritten in cursive, which is the reason she did not read in the dark.‘There were a lot of clues and we never connected them together.’‘Well, we were kids when witches and wer

Bree flipped through the pages and found information about their father.Patrick Stone, even his name, sounds dependable and strong. Okay, I’m grasping at straws. What can I do? I love the guy.I met Patrick when we were both in college. He had just moved from Los Angeles with his mother. I’ve never been there, but Patrick said it was beautiful, and promised we’d visit someday.He told me about LA, and I could already picture us traveling there together.We hit it off right away like we knew each other forever, even when we’ve never met before. Maybe this is what they meant when you meet your soulmate. Everything just works out perfectly.Patrick shared they moved to different places since he was a kid, never staying for more than a few years.When I asked, he said his mom had a job that required them to travel all the time, so they did.It sounded like they were hiding from someone, but I didn’t pry. Everybody had their secrets. There were things he couldn’t share, but I accepted him

Marina woke up the next day fully satiated and happy. Nobody would ever guess what had her grinning that morning.She had uncovered a secret desire when the wolf licked her body. Her dream felt so real she could imagine the smoothness of his tongue and the silkiness of his fur brushing against her bare skin.Marina had to calm the beating of her heart or the wolves around her might get curious and she was afraid she might blurt out the truth. People would surely laugh at her if they learned the object of her desire was an animal.It was the beginning of the work week, so Grayson would be hers all day and she could pretend they were together.She was a secretary at the sheriff’s office, and working with him was the highlight of her day.In the office, Grayson treated her like an adult. They discussed important details about Silvercreek and he respected her opinions.“Gray, do you want me to order lunch?” She asked after knocking on his door.“Marina, I need to talk to you. Would you mi

“We are destined to always go back on our word, aren’t we?” Grayson smiled before kissing her sweet, red lips.There was nowhere he’d rather be at the moment, and he was afraid speaking would break the spell.“This thing between us, is it real?” Squeezed tightly together on a medium-sized couch was the weirdest place to question the validity of their relationship. But he was glad that Bree was open to talking about it.“It is, and the house deed only proves we would have been together earlier had your parents not met their accident.”Brianna looked away. It was not helpful thinking about the what-ifs when it would never bring her parents back.“Thank you for comforting me last night. It was hard to learn about all this without Bran.”“Happy to help. Do you want me to stay and make you breakfast?” Grayson wanted to lie with Bree on the couch all day, but her tummy made some grumbling noises.“No, thanks. You’ve done enough already. We should get up.” Bree lifted her head, the close quar

Marina fumed with anger as she returned to her house. It had been empty for a while since her parents passed. 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. She pampered herself by lathering on her expensive lotions to hydrate her skin and dolled her face up. She went out to attract other people’s attention since none of the ones that mattered did.This always
