“Come on, brother. I love their teasing and I smile to myself as Ragnar tilts his head to the side. I grab my flashlight, and he takes it from my hand.“No, not this time. I'm going to change and we need to stay in the dark. Moonlight will guide us,” he says gently, placing the flashlight on the ground.“I can't see in the dark like you can,” I remind him.He moves closer and my breath catches when he reaches out and tucks a runaway strand of hair behind my ear.“You are a wolf, Mai. Let your wolf guide you.“Okay,” I whisper, as he steps back and starts undoing the buttons on his shirt.I look away, listening to the rustle of clothes and then taking in the distinctive scent that they've changed when everything smells like magic for a second. I look back in shock and awe at the black-furred wolves, which are beautiful. All of them are pure black, but Henderson and Ragnar's wolves stand out compared to Trey and Phim's as they are truly magnificent. They are literally twice the size.H
"I don't think it can hurt." He lets out a long breath. “She was smart, curious, and so beautiful it was almost as if the gods had made her in their image. For some insane reason, I enjoyed spending time with myself and my brothers. When we were fighting everything, she was there. Always been there for us.Valentine looks at me, so I nod and take another sip before he continues.“At first it was more like a family relationship when we were younger, but then we grew up and I came to think of her as more than the girl we treated like a pack. It became more. We wanted more. And I think she did too. Neither of us ever mentioned it to each other, but the attraction and deep feeling was only growing.He explains this to me with a soft laugh. I don't dare interrupt him, pull him out of the memories he has."And one of us could have been brave and said she was that for us after all...The fact that he leaves the sentence incomplete says it all.- I am really sorry. What happened to her?“Some
I don't stop."Do we have the same hair, the same eyes, the same body?" What is it?“Everything,” he says dryly. “Absolutely everything, except that you're not her.“Of course not.- You are different. Broken,” he grunts. “And I want to break every wolf that hurt you.I blame my racing heart, my convoluted, messy, complicated emotions when I do something stupid, impulsive, and dangerous. Something I think I've been planning for a long time, but not like this, not with feelings... not real.He knew it would be the only way to get what he wanted.I kiss him.I kiss Silas Fall, alpha of the Fall Mountain pack.He pauses, my lips pressed against his, and I wait for him to pull away. But when he doesn't pull away, when he deepens the kiss, pulling me tightly against his body, I open my mouth and melt into his arms as if we were lovers long separated. This is not what I planned. Her lips taste minty perfection. His taste is everything I've ever wanted, and our bodies fit together like we'r
“You are a total liar. It's horrible,” I say, laughing so hard that tears well up in my eyes.“We've got some instruments stashed away,” Henderson finally says, after we've stopped laughing. "I can look for them." Which would you like to try?“Maybe a violin,” I say, thinking of the violin at school. “I don't know, it looks like such a graceful instrument.His eyes flash red for a second, confusing me, and then he jumps to his feet, stopping in front of me.- What is it? I whisper, getting up and letting the block fall to the floor.Henderson doesn't respond for a long second, and then he relaxes, straightening up and looking at me over his shoulder.“Only Ragnar. He must feel left out.I laugh, looking across the forest when I see Ragnar's wolf running fast towards us. He stops and transforms on the fly.I look away from all that golden skin.“We have a problem and we need to go to the lighthouse,” Ragnar says, and I hear him approach."Another reject?" Henderson asks."No, but a wou
“May!” someone screams, someone I know well. I giggle and hide behind a wall, pressing my back into the cold stone. I brush the blond hair out of my eyes and close them, stretching my senses. He's getting closer.Just before he reaches me, I jump and he catches me, spinning around until we're both dizzy and laughing as we land in the grass.“You will always be my best friend. You four. No matter where we run, we will find each other.”I wake up with a start and find that I'm still sitting in the chair with my back bent over the bed where Daniel is sleeping in the middle. I lift my head from my arms, struggling to remember what I was dreaming of. I vaguely remember a boy with blond hair before the dream slipped from his mind like most of them do. Except for a single sentence that plays over and over in my head like a broken record:"No matter where we run, we will find each other."I shake my head, clear my throat, and lean down to place my hand on Daniel's forehead, hoping that someth
“How long will it take to find this stupid fucking alpha?Heads turn my way as soon as the words are out of my mouth. Impulsive of me to say, but justifiable. “I haven't come in five goddamn days. I am going through a withdrawal.Kai punches my shoulder, mocking. Some chuckles come from the other members.Luckily, my pack laughs at the jokes, or I think they would hate me. Honestly, they probably know at this point, but it is too late. They will have to deal with me for the rest of our lives.Ha-ha. Motherfuckers.Stone sighs, looking out the motel windows. He was the first to bear the mark of our Alfa… it burned right into his shoulder. When he woke up to the burning sensation a week ago, it was as if someone had branded him with a hot iron like cattle, and then there, the shape of the symbol in all its glory.A diamond is on top with a line running through it, extending beyond the bottom. An 'x' shape crosses below the diamond with the horizontal line still between it. Within the mi
One guy's face changes from a resting bitch face to a soft one when our eyes meet. His jaw tightens and his icy blue eyes soften. My skin tingles, making me rub my shoulder where a slight burning sensation forms. His eyes send a shiver down my spine and straight to my pussy. I take it for a second. Tattoos run up his strong arms and disappear under the black T-shirt. A short beard is growing against his square jaw. The sides of his hair are shaved to the same length as his sideburns and beard, leaving the top angled to the side.Delicious.“Anyone,” one of the other guys says in a Latin accent. His voice is so deep and smooth it makes my pussy shiver. His hair is pitch black and falls to his shoulders. His sharp chin is covered in stubble. He is not as tall as the first, but just as broad and strong.I give a quick nod, picking up five menus and taking them to a table. When they sit down, I look at the other members of the group. Two of the other guys have the same traits: slender chi
— When do you leave? Stone asks, leaning forward.I look at the clock. - Half an hour."So… how busy are you after that?" Her eyebrows jump.I bite back a smile. - I do not know. I am a very busy person... Why?— Can you show us something about the city that you like?I think for a second, looking at the other people. They are strange to me, but it does not seem like it. They made the air feel familiar as if we all knew each other. It is weird agreeing to go places with them, they can be killers. Still, I know the perfect place to hang out on a hot day like this one. I frown, nose wrinkling. “Okay, but I don't normally date random strangers.Stone's lips curl into a smile that makes my knees weak. “It's my charm, for sure.I snort. - Right. I step away just as the person enters to relieve me of my shift. I meet my best friend's eyes and our hands move to our faces, index fingers landing on our nose. Very slowly.“Bitch,” Goldie mutters to me.“Be quicker,” I mutter back with a wink. I
esmerayKai stands up, unbuttoning his pants andpulling them down right in front of my face. I think he's comfortable enough around Stone thathe is able to do this.Your long dick jumps right into mineface, dripping pre-cum. I lick my lipswanting to taste it, but before I can, he orders me to get on top. He sits down on the bed, backing up against the headboard and waiting for me to sit on him. I look at Stone who moves so he's on themy vision.I straddle Kai's thighs. I pull mylip between her teeth, watching him for any signs that he might want to stop. He leans forward, kissing me and I can taste myself on his lips. Waves of heat wash over me.- He is sure? "I pull it back." —Are you two sure about this?"A little too late for that,"Stone says in a husky voice.Kai laughs, shaking his head, “I want to.be inside you, Esmeray.My legs shake with anticipationas I guide your swollen cock into my soaking pussy. Then I slowly push myself over him as he stretches me out. Once our

My eyes drop to the round curve of her ass. Fuck, I feel like a horny teenager again. ifI look for too long, I know I'm going to get a hard-on.My wolf moans to her, wanting to matewith her now. Shortly. Calm down, horn dog, I say tohe.Stone stays. “You took a long time. His eyes drop to her neck, the one I was biting. Did I leave a mark? “Oh. I see. “I can't believe he's actually okay with this. I can't believe I'm okay with this. Sharing her kind of turns me on more than I thought. I loved watching her interact with others, and even listening to Stone fuck her.sometimes it made me hard.Esmeray pushes away his hand that touches herneck and buttons his shirt. “Come on, Sugar Daddy. II need a phone!— Well-heeled crown? — Stone drops one.laughter. “We're all paying over the phone.She

I don't need Stone's money.He agrees. "You're right, but youYou're going to need to get a job if you're going to keep breaking phones.I push him. He smiles, tucking his handsin the pockets. We walk towards the woods next to the gym which has a stone path, and I run at night. — Phones look better when they're on the ground after being squashed by a mini hulk, onlysaying.He smiled. "I heard that youscolded.I look down at my sneakers. — I can'tremember right.He looks at me out of the corner of his eye. —Why?— I tend to faint when I get mad.

It reads instantly, and the typing bubbles appear, but I put my phone on 'do not disturb'before putting it aside.I touch my sore chest before bedon the couch.

“No…” I pick up my phone, seeing amillion messages. Between Kira and Kia, there were a lot of them.There are some messages from Krew, but not many.Team: Esme.Krew: I'm sorry.

krewThis hurt more than I thought it would. I watch her until she completely disappears into the campus darkness and the tightness in my chest grows. How could I do something like that here? I know we're not mates and we're barely dating, but seeing her hurt,it hurt more.A hand taps my back. - Goodwork. Hurt the bitch.- Sorry? I pull from Reed's grip. "What the hell did you call her?! ’ Anger rises in my chest. How can I let him get inside my head like that? How could I let him talk me into hurting her? My eyes look around us.

Let's go! Kira screams.Krew jumps, running through the door. —Arriving!I can't help but smile. Idiot. Whatmade you so anxious? I grab Stone, pulling him out. The night air is already full of music. Holding Stone's hand makes me feel guilty about almost kissing Kai. Everything is so confusing. It doesn't feel wrong to have them near me, an
