I splashed cold water onto my face, heaving for air as I did so. When my eyes opened, I met my brother's gaze through the mirror. He offered me a tight-lipped smile, holding out a fluffy brown towel for me. Turning, I returned his expression and grabbed the towel out of his grasp, using it to wipe my face.
He cleared his throat and then scoffed under his breath, "You look terrible."
"No shit Sylvain!" I exasperated, throwing the towel at him.
He caught it easily, rolling his honey orbs at me, "I'm pretty sure the saying goes 'No Shit Sherlock' but my name is actually a good replacement," he tossed the towel into the hamper and then said, "you can't hide this from him forever. Sooner or later he's going to figure out that you're sick."
"Yeah, I know but I don't want to stress him out. Things have been going well between us and he's got a lot of stress on his plat

SYDNEYBeing in my parents' home brought me a sense of nostalgia. I hadn't visited their home since I moved out almost nine years ago. There was never a need for me to visit when mom and dad spent most of their time in the pack house anyway. Nothing had changed though. Everything was exactly how I remembered it, from the family pictures hung on the walls to the natural warmth and comfort their home provided. Dad wasn't one for modern decor. He was simple and wanted his home to feel lived in and not as if it were something out of a home decor magazine.I could smell him. Victor's musky scent was thick in the air — it was unmistakable. His scent led into dad's small home office that was fashioned similar to the office in the old pack house. I, of course, made changes to the study that would be mine in the new pack house. The office wasn't big enough for all of us. It would be too cluttered, hence my brother and beta decided to

SYDNEYI quickly forced Rieka back, regaining control and running after Victor. He stormed past Sylvain and Tane who were listening to our conversation outside the door. They were obviously very confused considering most of the talking was done through the mind link. My brother called after me as I rushed past the two but I ignored him, focusing on catching up to Victor whose legs practically ate up the ground he walked on.I followed him out the sliding glass door, running breathlessly behind him as he entered the forest. He could hear me behind him but he ignored me, probably hoping I'd catch the hint and leave him alone. I really should have but I physically couldn't. This wasn't a downpour of information only for me but for him, too. I could only imagine the thoughts consuming him right now. He needed to know that he wasn't alone.I watched in horror as he began unbuttoning his shirt. If he shifted and ra

QUADEIt was because I never thought I could feel for anyone the way I felt for her. That was the reason I appreciated every fucking, perfect moment spent with her. Waking up with her curled into my side, clinging onto my body as if her life rode on my existence alone had my mind frazzled. She was a daydream, a nightmare, all things good, and all things truly wicked wrapped into one package. I thought that I'd taint her soul with mine but, in some fucked up way, her soul was already tainted and complimented mine. Why? Because she was fucking made for me. No one else but me and I would never let a knobhead try to take her from again.Never again! Raking my fingers through her hair, I began humming softly. A vivid memory of my sister, Tatum, laying beside me as a kid flooded my mind. She would wake me, humming softly as she raked her fingers through my snarled hair. My memories of her were growing mor

QUADEI found myself shifting into my black wolf and barreling into the forest. The vibrations of my paws hitting the earth were nothing compared to the sound of my heart hammering in my chest. It was all too much. One would think I'd be used to it by now but even an arsehole like me needed to catch a break every once in a while.Everything seemed to be going well. I wasn't the person I was before — one that hated the world and everything in it. There was something I looked forward to waking up to every morning. She was my reason to not be an arrogant piece of shit all the fucking time but sometimes, I couldn't help it. All I wanted to do after leaving our room was make a beeline for that cunt's room and beat the bloody shit out of him. But that would hurt her and I didn't want to hurt her — at least, not if she didn't ask for it.So, going against everything I would have done, I decided to seek out solace in

SYDNEYI had a strange craving for ice cream. Not any ice cream. Mint with dark chocolate chips. It was my brother's favorite and I personally hated the taste. But now, I craved it as if my life depended on it. I thought I could hold in the craving. It was what I usually did when I craved things during that time of the month, but this was so much worse. This was persistent and so difficult to ignore.I sat back in my leather office chair, running a hand over my stomach, "I can already tell you're going to be demanding," I murmured, smiling down.There was already a connection forming between us and as each day passed, the connection grew stronger. I may not have known much about my pup but I knew I would love him or her unconditionally. I'd like to think that the two men in my life could come to some sort of agreement because, deep down, I knew they would love my pup faultlessly.This morning,

QUADEI woke up this morning with a purpose. One of which Sydney did not like. She wanted to be that strong Alpha that dealt with everything hands-on. I respected that because the way she handled things demanded everyone's respect. No one could fault her as an Alpha. However, with her expecting, things had to be taken care of differently.And she did not like that one bit!I had suggested that I handle the Huxley situation only because I still had my doubts about the arsehole. He was a man that never got caught unless he wanted to and he was a man that wasn't easily broken. For him to willingly want to talk to someone, it was suspicious. Even if that someone was Victor.I feared if Huxley figured out that Sydney was pregnant then the news would somehow make it back to my father. Under no circumstances was he allowed to find out that my mate was about to have a pup. I would keep it a s

QUADEWe left the cells, Enzo and Zen getting to work on the task I set out for them. It was some sort of poetic justice having Huxley dumped on the castle's steps with no regard just like my sister had been. My father cared for no one but himself but I wanted him to feel a sliver of what I felt to find a dead body sprawled at your doorway. It wouldn't scar a monster like him as it did me but he would be angered and I fully planned to use that anger against him.Tane, Sylvain, and Victor followed me out, all of us making our way to the pack house. I had to admit, I was a little curious as to why Victor couldn't snap Huxley's neck when he had the perfect opportunity. It made no sense. After everything that man had done to him, wouldn't he want to execute some sort of revenge? An eye for an eye — that was what I was taught.I was never one to stay silent. It was part of the reason I was partially forthcoming wi

SYDNEY"How did you get these?" I murmured, tracing the pad of my finger over one of the many pink scars marking Quade's skin. He wished the tattoos did their job of hiding the scars away from me but they caught my eye each time. There was something painfully beautiful about every one of them. They held a story, the story of how he survived and persevered.He hissed, clenching the sheets in his tattooed fist, "You don't want to know."I looked up at him, meeting his cold gaze. His green orbs reminded me of the eerie forest at night. Cold, dark, and haunted with untold secrets that could scare the devil himself. I never thought I could remotely feel anything for the man holding me in bed at this moment, but the more I understood him, the deeper my feelings became. They were scratching on the surface of love but it wasn't there yet. I wasn't certain how he arrived to love so quickly but then again, I was the on

I'm His Mate Epilogue
SYDNEY We were a few miles away from the Midnight Sun pack's border. Quade didn't want this meeting to be held on pack lands. In a way, I understood why. He didn't want to put the members of his pack in danger. So, here we stood in the middle of the forest that surrounded us in shadowed darkness. The array of colors that I could see during the day had transformed into blacks and dark greys and the cold breeze that whisked the air had shivers of unease crawling up my spine. "Here," Quade shrugged off his jacket, draping it over my shoulders, "he should be here soon. Enzo is lurking somewhere in case we need backup." Holding the jacket closer to me, I inhaled the scent that I could only associate with Quade. A scent that had my entire body calming instantly, "I can't wait to get back home to Titus." I hated leaving his side. How would I protect him from anything this far away?
I'm His Mate Chapter 42
SYDNEY It was cloudy. We arrived at the castle last night. It was nothing like what I expected. The place was genuinely scary with its gothic, grey stone outlook and high towers that reached up to the gloomy sky. When we arrived last night it held an even scarier air to it. The massive castle was both intimidating and cold. It was the perfect fit for a horror movie. When we arrived last night Quade's mother had already succumbed to the pain of losing her mate. Quade's reaction to the news was a simple shrug. He didn't seem to be bothered about it. The loss of his mother didn't seem to hurt him in the slightest. I couldn't imagine feeling that way in such a situation. Complete and utter nonchalance. I remembered when Quade had jumped in front of me to take that bullet all those months ago. He may have been my mate but I didn't care for him much then. Yet, I still couldn't stand the thought of losing him. I couldn't imagin

SYDNEYRieka purred as we watched Quade interact with Titus. We were proud of our mate and we sent a wave of that prideful feeling through the mate bond. A larger-than-life smile split his lips as he felt it. His wolfie grin had little dimples indenting in his cheek, his nose piercing catching a glint of light from the dull lighting fixtures of the hall.We had just had a ceremony officially making Sylvain the Alpha of the Green Forest pack. As much as it pained me to give up the title, it had to be done. It wasn't as if any power had drained from me in doing so. My brother may have gained strength by taking on the title but my power still outweighed his. At the end of the day, I was still an Alpha.It was quite late but Quade refused to part from Titus which meant we ended up bringing him to the ceremony. And Quade had never let him go, cradling Titus' little body into the crook of his arm with a glorious smile constantly pulling at his lips. He rocked Ti

SYDNEY"Mother," I groaned under my breath, placing Titus into his crib. It took me a while to get a male name close to Tatum's but I eventually found one to my liking. Quade still insisted on calling him Wolfe, though."Sydney," Lucille greeted, reluctantly stepping into the room. I was too tired to fight her.Some part of me, the little girl that still craved to have her biological mother's affection sort off rejoiced at the fact she came. The logical part of me, however, still grew angry whenever I thought of Lucille's life decisions."I'm glad you and the baby are okay," she smiled but it's faltered. Those eyes of hers, chocolate brown orbs that eerily reminded me of my own turned glassy, "thank you for letting me see him.""He's your grandson and," I paused, shifting my gaze to sleeping, Titus. He had a warped sleeping schedule — by that, I meant he hardly slept

QUADE"What the bloody hell's taking them so long?" I growled, pacing across the white floor of the waiting room. The smell of disinfectant agitated me. I couldn't wait to be out of here."It's going to take some time. The doctor said that what she did had weakened her body and induced her labor. They had to take her in immediately," Julian voiced. I wasn't sure if he realized this or not, but his foot kept tapping in a quick rhythm and he kept biting into his knuckles."Do you have somewhere to be?" I snapped, cutting him a glare but that did little to help. He only began tapping his foot faster."I can smell blood," he deadpanned, lips drawing into a thin line as he pushed off the wall he leaned against, "blood activates my hunting instincts.""If you're thirsty, you could..."Monica let her sentence trail off, eyes meeting every person in the room before shrugging, "I me

QUADEMy father's fear was palpable. I could feel it pricking the tips of my fingers, could taste it on my tongue — it was my favorite type of poison. It had been so long since I had felt this rush of adrenaline filling me. My body was on a high I never realized I missed. Even through the fucking pain and exhaustion I couldn't get enough of the pleasure coursing through my system. As sadistic as it sounded, knowing I outsmarted my father had me on cloud fucking nine. He thought he could kill me during the blood moon. He didn't realize it wasn't me meant to be dying today.I had too much to live for now. Then, I would have happily died for my course. Now, I had no other choice but to win. For Tatum, for my pack, for Sydney and our pup, but most of all for myself. I held out this long so I couldn't lose now. It would be a crying fucking shame if I made it this far to lose against a cunt that couldn't beat me fair and square.
I'm His Mate Chapter 37
SYDNEYA scream from the very depths of my lungs had the walls of my room vibrating. My room door was shattered, laying on the ground with splitters and larger pieces of wood surrounding it. I didn't scream because I was scared — or maybe I did — but that fear wasn't for me, it was for the pup inside of me."Julian," I crouched as much as I could into an attacking position ready to fight for both my life and the life of my baby, "you don't need to do this. You've tasted my blood before. You know it's terrible. Fight this, I know you can."His jaw clenched, stone-like features faltering as I spoke. Screwing his eyes shut, he fell onto his knees and clutched the sides of his head, "Sydney, run..." Julian gritted, voice strained as he tried to fight the effects of the blood moon.Time would make this easier but, right now, time was something I didn't have. I wasn't one to run but I didn't even ha

QUADEI stood at the window of our room, bathing in the silver glow of the moonlight. It wouldn't be silver for too long. Each member of the pack could already feel the effects of the blood moon. I hated feeling so fucking weak. My mind felt caged as the moon suppressed my beast. The pack link was no longer in play as well.With everything that had been happening, the blood moon couldn't have picked a worse fucking timing. We were left completely and utterly defenseless against anything that wanted to attack us. I didn't want to show it because stressing Sydney was the last thing I needed to do but I was scared. We all were scared.Julian already took up residence in the holding cell for the night. Silas and Victor were there to watch over him if anything had to go wrong. I remained with Sydney, knowing if he got out, her scent would draw him to her. She smelt more human than wolf which was a massive downside in such a situation.The more I
I'm His Mate Chapter 35
QUADEJulian had arrived a few days ago looking like the literal definition of shit. I couldn't blame him. Two people he cared about had died, for him. That must have been a tough pill to swallow. It certainly was one for me when my sister died. I gave him the space he needed. Sydney thought it best to inform him of Ambrosia's death which meant he didn't want to talk to me either way. But things were getting worse as each fucking day passed and we couldn't wait for him to finally wake up from his stupor.This morning news from a pack in Texas had reached us. Some of their patrol wolves had been found dead. There was no trace left behind as to what the fuck had happened to them but I had a feeling they would have told me the same thing Ambrosia did — it was an invisible threat. But that only led me to believe that said threat could mask their scent because even without eyesight, wolves could have used their sense of smell.
