“Pair up and start going through our normal exercises, we’ll start sparring later. Jane, you’re with me,” Xander said.

Billy whistled loudly as Jane made her way to the front where Xander stood. One look from him though had Billy’s mouth quiet as he faced off with Connor. Jenner stood with the other two trainers and Missy was paired with another girl she didn’t know.

“Alright, I’m going to show you the basics and then we can go from there.”

“Okay.”

Xander guided her through punches and kicks, showing her different stances and blocks, all of which she did perfectly. Jane had never felt so confident and strong and she kicked and punched harder than ever before.

“Who trained you?”

Jane smiled as Xander straightened up and took a sip from his own water bottle. “My dad used to train me, but I haven’t trained in two years.”

“Shit, you could have told me that. Now I look like an idiot teaching you basic stuff when you clearly know what you’re doing.”

“No, rehashing the basics are good.”

    After breakfast on Saturday morning, Jane was herded out of the house by Mae. They picked up June and Missy and headed straight into town to a spa for a day of pampering and relaxation before the Harvest Ball.Glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice was brought in on a tray with little platters of snacks. They were soaking their feet and laying back with cucumber slices on their eyes, the soothing music in the background making the experience all the more relaxing.“This is heaven,” Mae murmured.“Heaven would be half naked men serving our drinks and rubbing our feet,” June said and Jane laughed loudly at that.“Stop being a pervert, June!”“I’m with the Luna on that one,” Missy agreed.The twins in their basketball shorts sprung to Jane’s mind and the never ending steamy dreams she was having about them. She squirmed in her seat and she knew her cheeks were betraying her thoughts. Her wolf’s emotions bled into her and it was loneliness, she wanted her mates.They spent hours getting

    “Come on, let’s go get a drink before all the speeches and announcements start,” Jenner said. He took Jane’s hand and led her to the bar. She looked up just in time to find the twins watching them as they stood at the bar. “They’re at the bar, Jenner.” Jane’s whisper was harsh.“Perfect time to introduce you then.” He seemed much too relaxed for Jane’s comfort as he tugged her forward.Jenner pulled her in closer and she could see Ryan’s fists clench by his sides. Jenner seemed undeterred and stopped right in front of them with a huge smile on his face. “Hey guys, meet Jane. This is Reid and Ryan Heiden, they’re the future Alphas of Blood Pack.”Reid’s eyes were darkening and Ryan was visibly quaking, like he’d shift right in that moment. Jane looked them in the eye, no longer afraid and feeling like she had to look down. She wasn’t that girl anymore.“What the hell are you playing at, Jenner?”Jenner squared his shoulders and glared at Reid. “Well, if you two had treated her with th

    The drive back to Jenner’s pack seemed to take forever. Jane rested her head against the window and at one point Jenner’s hand squeezed her knee. She turned to look at him and gave him a smile. She’d heard him on the phone and she knew that Connor and Billy were following behind them.“I’m sorry, Jenner.”He shook his head lightly. “No, it’s my fault. I should’ve known how hard it would be for you to see them. I shouldn’t have let you go through this.”“It wasn’t me seeing them again. Reid was angry but he was right too. I promised I’d give them a chance but I never really did. In my heart I kept telling myself that it was all a prank and that they’d reject me after a while but nothing they’ve done points to that.”Jenner sighed audibly as he parked his truck in front of the Beta House. “I know the twins. I’ve known them for a few years and I still maintain that they’re good guys. I don’t know what happened to make them treat you like that but I know for a fact that they’d never rejec

    Jane woke up with a smile on her face. Ryan’s scent was calling out to her. She showered and dressed before heading downstairs for breakfast. She had an inkling that Mae was burning with curiosity as to the previous night’s events.“Morning,” Jane said as she entered the kitchen.Mae turned around with a cup of coffee in her hands and a huge smile on her face. “Morning.”Jane kissed Grant on the top of his head as his sticky hands found her finger and he squeezed, babbling as if they were having a very serious conversation. Jane laughed as she sat down next to him and Mae handed her a cup of coffee.“Is Dad up yet?”“Oh … he and Ryan went to do a perimeter check. It was quite an eventful night.”“Uh huh,” Jane said, surprised that Ryan was getting involved like that.“So … Josh tells me your mate was quite forceful last night.”Jane frowned as she looked up. “What do you mean?”“He told your dad that he was staying right here, claiming an old ancient Alpha law of not being separated f

    It was nearing dusk when Jane and Ryan returned to the Beta House. They settled down in the living room in front of the television, sitting side by side, Ryan’s arm around her shoulders. Grant came crawling into the room, sat down on the carpet and started babbling to them.Ryan chuckled as Grant crawled towards them again and pulled himself up using Ryan’s leg as a brace. Ryan removed his arm from her shoulder and picked Grant up. He settled the baby on his lap and Grant seemed to settle down.Jane flicked between the channels and they finally settled on an animation when Grant started clapping his little hands together. “I guess he wants to watch this one.”Jane smiled at Ryan’s words, impressed that he was so good with her little brother. An hour went by when Jane noticed Mae in the doorway. She had a sweet smile on her face and Jane sat upright. Grant was now on his stomach, sleeping on Ryan’s chest.Both of Ryan’s arms were around Grant protectively even in his sleep. Jane couldn

    Ryan left Jane to get ready on her own and she welcomed the few moments alone. Her whole body seemed alive and she could still feel the tingles of Ryan’s touch. The water cascaded over her back and she closed her eyes while leaning her head against the tiles. She had accepted the bond with Ryan. She smiled as the spot where her shoulder and neck met tingled with anticipation. It was the spot where she’d be marked, well she’d be marked on both sides. Feeling the bond flow between them was something nobody could have prepared her for. No matter what people had told her, living through that moment of acceptance was amazing. She still felt torn though. She wanted to spend time with her father but she knew that at some point she’d have to go back home and face everyone there. She didn’t look forward to it, people would point and laugh and people would whisper about her. Clarissa and Roxanne had already made sure of that part. Now that everyone knew they were mates, people were bound to w

    Jane and Freya’s reunion were filled with shrieks, tears and a lot of screaming on Freya’s part. Her father had watched Freya with wide eyes and then retreated from the kitchen as Mae laughed so loudly she snorted.Reid and Ryan disappeared from the kitchen not long after that and Jane knew they were in her father’s office. Reid had given her a hug, but that was all and the hug had felt like a friendship hug. It had stung a little but she smiled and knew they’d talk later.Freya kept talking, right through dinner, through dessert and all the way up the stairs and into Jane’s bedroom. Reid and Ryan would sleep in the guest room and Freya would bunk with Jane. She’d give her father this small win.“Maybe I’ll meet a hot Mexican boy to fall in love with,” Freya mused and yawned.“We should get some sleep, we need to get up in four hours,” Jane said.They said their goodnights and were asleep within minutes. Jane stifled a groan a few hours later when her alarm on her phone went off. Frey

    Jane and Reid descended the stairs amidst laughter and friendly bantering. They were in the kitchen unpacking groceries, even though the villa was fully stocked. Ryan had somehow procured enough alcohol to shame a frat party. The open plan first floor had large floor to ceiling windows with foldable glass doors that opened up to a wooden deck. The infinity pool looked out over the ocean and with a few steps down to the sand there were sun loungers. A few feet from the loungers was another deck with six four-poster beach beds on a terrace. The rocky beach below had the waves breaking against it and it was the most beautiful sight Jane had ever seen. Everything was just breathtaking. Ryan came up behind her as she stood near the edge of the pool and wrapped his arms around her. “Did you and Reid talk?” Jane could feel her face heat up as Ryan chuckled in her ear. “Sort of.” “That’s good. Tonight will be a first for all three of us.” Jane half turned in his arms. “What do you mean?”

    The front door to the football house opened and Jane looked at Cliff. His eyes widened slightly when he saw her and she felt relief that it was someone she knew. Her heart was pounding and her blood was pumping through her veins. She only knew that she had to find them.“Are you okay?”“Is Ryan here? Or Reid?”Cliff frowned as he took a step toward her. “No, they moved out this morning. They live off campus now. They didn’t tell you?”Jane felt her heart sink. Why would they move off campus? It dawned on her suddenly. They’d done it for her. Ryan had told her that they were a package deal. All three of them. They’d moved so they could be together, all three of them.“I don’t have time to explain now but I really need to find them, it’s life or death,” Jane said. Cliff must’ve seen something in her eyes because he nodded his head.“They got a house over on Blakeley Road. It’s the last one in the cul-de-sac. It has a red door with the forest behind it.”Jane grinned then. “Thank you, Cl

    Her dorm room was empty and it was nearing five am. Jane let out a breath of relief. Nobody would know she hadn’t been here the whole night. She lowered her head in shame as she thought back to the previous night.Would they tell people what had happened between them? She felt like a notch on their bedpost. She tried to remember what Ryan had said, she hadn’t been concentrating, she’d heard his voice but not the actual words.For all she knew he could’ve been telling her to smile for the camera. She shivered, goddess, she hoped there wasn’t a camera. She could still smell their scents on her as she lay back on her bed and closed her eyes.She sat upright again as her phone started ringing and she frowned at the private number that was displayed on her phone’s screen. “Hello?”“Did you really run away from us?” Ryan asked her.“Look … I’m not sure what happened last night … I know what happened last night but it shouldn’t have. I don’t know what I was thinking and …”“What are you talk

    Jane closed her notebook and placed it back into her bag. So far college had been a blast. Summer had passed painfully slow and she hadn’t seen Reid or Ryan again since the night of prom. Ryan had left sometime during the night because she’d woken up alone the next morning.She’d spent her summer holidays with her father and his wife. Reid and Ryan had spent it at some Alpha camp and she’d gone back to Midnight Pack a week before she had to leave for college. She had a dorm room and she spent most of her time in the library.She didn’t see her roommate often and some nights she’d fallen asleep on the couch in the library when the tie was around their doorhandle, which meant her roommate, Shelley, had company. It was the only part of college she hated thus far.She’d made a few friends and she’d actually been invited to a party. It was a football party but still, it was a party. She was excited and care-free and she loved her life at Camden. There weren’t any bullies like in high schoo

    Jane looked at herself in the mirror. The silver dress she’d chosen fit her perfectly, showed off the curve of her hip and the back was so low that she’d actually debated buying it. It swept the floor and her silver heels sparkled in the light.She’d swept her hair up with silver pins, leaving her neck bare, except for the diamond necklace Kyle had given her for her birthday. She matched it with the earrings she’d received from the twins and her make-up was subtle, except for the bright red lipstick.She had five minutes before Kenneth was due to pick her up and she grabbed her small clutch and ventured out of her bedroom door. She felt beautiful, knew that she looked beautiful too but she was waiting for her mother’s reaction before letting happiness completely fill her.She took a deep breath when she reached the staircase and four pairs of eyes latched onto her. Her mother gasped and Kyle’s eyes narrowed just like she knew her father’s would have. Reid and Ryan stood watching her,

    This time when she walked back into the meeting room, she walked in with Ryan and Reid next to her. They all went to their respective seats. Ryan hadn’t wanted to tell her what the Council had said to them about their part in everything and now she was more worried than ever.She took a deep breath and sat down, her heart beating erratically, her blood rushing through her veins and the sound of it drowning out everything else around her. She looked up as everything quieted down and the three Council members walked in and sat down in front of her.“Welcome back, everyone. We’ll start with Clarissa and Roxanne,” the first man said again.Clarissa and Roxanne both stood up behind their table and Clarissa sent Jane a scalding look. It spoke of contempt, malice and she seemed to enjoy the predicament Jane currently found herself in. Jane looked down, not wanting to look at her any more.“Your current status of omega will remain in place for six months after which your previous status’s wil

    Jane woke up to a cold and empty bed. The bite marks on her shoulders had healed and she could feel them pulse inside her. She closed her eyes and focused on Ryan and smiled. She could sense him, his emotions were stable and she turned her thoughts to Reid. He was happy and that made her smile more.Jane showered and got dressed, ready for a new day. She hadn’t been to school in more than a week and she really didn’t feel like going back but the knock on her door told her that Joseph was probably ready to leave.“Morning,” she said with a fake smile and Joseph grinned at her when she opened the bedroom door.“We’re not going to school today,” he said as he leaned against the doorway.“Why not?”“Alpha Kyle has called for a meeting,” Joseph said.Jane straightened up and looked at him with a serious expression on her face. “Do you know what it’s about?”Joseph snorted and furrowed his brows. “Really? Did you really just ask me that?”“Oh, come on. You know everything that goes on aroun

    Jane looked at the faces around the dinner table. Her mother, Sarah, was holding Kyle’s hand. She wondered what Kyle had told her about Callan, but whatever it was, she was supporting him now as he faced his sons.Neither Reid nor Ryan were happy sitting there. Ryan was still pissed off and Reid wanted answers. Jane knew that any discussions they would have that night would probably end up in a fight and she wasn’t looking forward to it.“You kept this from us for eighteen years,” Ryan spoke first.“With good reason,” Kyle said and Jane turned her head as the door to the dining room was opened.“He’s here, Alpha.” Kyle nodded his head and stood up from his chair.Callan walked into the dining room and Ryan’s jaw was clenched tightly together. Callan smiled when he saw Jane and she gave him a small smile. “My men have orders to burn your pack to the ground should I not return alive.”Ryan was in Callan’s face in seconds and he slammed him against the wall. “If and when you die, it will

    Jane sat in the backseat of a large SUV with two men on either side of her. She’d gone with them willingly, not wanting anything to happen to Joseph or Travis. She knew they’d follow her and probably raise the entire Midnight Pack army to follow as well.“Where are we going?”“We’re taking you to speak with our leader, Alpha Callan.”Jane didn’t recognize the name but her heart rate increased when she realized they were driving towards the Moonstone Pack territory. She had no idea what had happened to the people of that pack, hadn’t even thought to ask since their Alpha was incarcerated.Warriors were posted throughout the territory and the SUV parked in front of their pack hall. It was a large building, not as large as theirs but still impressive. Their territory didn’t look like it had been attacked and Jane had to wonder what exactly was going on here.She was led out of the SUV and into the pack hall. It was deathly quiet and warriors stood on either side as her footsteps echoed i

    Ryan led her into Reid’s old bedroom, right across from where Rein lay sleeping. Reid closed the door behind him and Jane looked around. She’d never actually been in Reid’s bedroom before and his scent overwhelmed her senses.“Why did you do that?” Reid’s intense stare was fixed on her and Jane didn’t really know how to answer him. She had mixed feelings about everything, Rein included.“The omegas are busy and she needed a bath,” Jane said. Reid shook his head but the smile on his face resonated sadness and Jane wished she knew what was going through his mind. She hated feeling like this, so unsure of herself, so insecure about her own future.“What did you want to talk about?” Jane looked at Ryan first and then back at Reid as she asked that question. She wasn’t sure she was ready to talk about everything.“Britney’s death has left Reid free to ascend with me,” Ryan began. She couldn’t decipher the look in his eyes.“I’m sure you’re both glad about that.” Jane felt uncomfortable. T
