MILES“What do you suggest we do now? We can't possibly tell her about the bodies and the unrest in the pack. It would only make her scared,” Mike said, leaning on the window with his arms folded. Mitch was going through a last-minute mail he was supposed to have attended to. I'd never met someone as lazy as our last born. Don't inform him I called him that, though. He always gets cranky whenever we address him as the last child. “We aren't getting anywhere with the investigation. The person doing all this is good. I will give them credit for it. They could hide in the shadows without getting caught,” Mitch said, his gaze on the system. “The elders aren't helping matters at all,” I sighed, placing my head on the desk. “I doubt we could keep this from her for a long time. If we don't sort things out now, it would be disastrous later.”“Yeah, that's right.” Mitch closed his laptop, sighing as he relaxed on the couch. “Finally. I thought I wouldn't be able to complete this on time.” H
MITCH“This is getting serious,” I mussed, looking at the corpse. The hunters brought the man down a few minutes ago after we arrived. The cause of death was the same. His organs were taken. The one who did it seemed to have harvested his organs before hanging him on a tree. “Didn't you notice anything strange this morning?” Mike asked, turning towards the hunters. “Nothing, my Alpha. We patrolled this area a few hours ago before we left. This happened so… It was unexpected. We just got alerted by a kid, who was returning from school,” he explained, his eyes wide in fear. “A student? Where is the Student?” Miles demanded, still looking at the corpse as if he might find something by doing that. “She's detained in my house. If you wish, we can take you to her,” he offered. “That will be appreciated,” I said, turning to confront the other hunters. “Why can't you all disperse around the pack? Why go in a pack when you can guard the area in two?” I scowled at them. This made little s
SUMMERI couldn't contain the excitement that ran through my body as I thought of how to break the news to my brothers. I was barely keeping the grin off my face as I made a simple dinner. I would have gone for the complicated one I saw on YouTube, but tried my hand at something basic, so I wouldn't have to cook for a long time. Yawning, I glanced towards the clock. I returned earlier, which means I had enough time to prepare everything before their return. I sat on the kitchen stool, my gaze going towards our dining table. I imagined how I would break the news to them, the expression I would have and how delighted they would look after they heard what I had to say. I chuckled, barely keeping the smile off my face. Fuck! I'd never been this excited before. I was virtually like a bride on her wedding night, visualizing how my husband's touch would feel and nervous at the thought of making a fool of myself in his presence. Sighing, I ran my hand through my hair and sat up, looking
MITCHAfter the session we had with the young schoolgirl, we asked the headhunter to release her when we realized she knew little about what happened. It was obvious that she was telling the truth about not seeing who was responsible for all the deaths. She looked scared just narrating how has found the body. We returned to our office after that, speculating on the turn of events. Things were getting out of hand, and needed to be resolved before Summer got wind of it. We knew we couldn't keep it a secret forever, but the problem was this: none of us knew where to start. The killer left nothing that might lead us to them. We were still in the same place we started, having made no progress at all. “Still thinking of the body?” Miles asked, leaning on the table with his arms folded. “Who isn't?” I checked the time on my wristwatch. “We still have thirty minutes until Summer's return. What should we do about this? Do you think she will listen to us if we ask her to start work this wee
Miles dragged the body away, and we covered the split blood fast enough before the door got ripped open, and Summer peered out, her eyes wide.She looked so tempting, with her hair sticking to her face and her enormous eyes looking up at us with childlike innocence. Everything about Summer was perfect.Mike nudged me, gesturing towards her. Swallowing, when I noticed the suspicious expression on her face, I tried to grin. “… Sum… Darling!” Forcing a smile to prevent her from noticing what was wrong, I approached her. “You startled us. We would —”“Where's Miles?” She asked with a frown, glancing towards our car, which was parked in the outdoor garage.We were eager to get to her, which was why we packed the car there. But with the way her eyes narrowed, I could tell she was deep in thought, trying to figure out why we didn't drive the car in instead of packing it outside. "Oh, Miles?” I ran a hand through his hair, my eyebrows twitching and my mouth pursed. “He went to get something
SUMMERMy mates went into the kitchen to wash their hands before they joined me in the dining, wiping their palms on a napkin. I avoided the flowers they got for me like a plague, making sure I didn't sit next to Miles, who had it placed beside him. Mitch rested next to me like he had always done, raising an eyebrow at the wine in the bucket. He didn't need to ask for me to know why he had such an expression on his face as he looked at the bucket. “It's for a celebration,” I provided, standing to uncover their plates before I sat back. I wanted to bake cookies for our dessert, but wasn't good enough at that. I was still learning how to make a pie and would perfect it soon. Which was why I decided on the simple meal. “This smells delicious, baby girl! It's even better than Mike's cooking!” Miles gushed, and the others nodded their support. I blushed at his words. To be compared to Mike, it seemed I was getting somewhere. Mike was the best cook among his brothers. He can practically
They froze at my words, exchanging glances between them as if they had secrets themselves. I raised an eyebrow at that, waiting for them to come clean, but they didn't. “What is it you want to tell us?” Mitch asked, frowning. “Are you okay? Or — have you changed your mind about helping us at the office? That's not fair, baby girl! You promised. You can't just disappoint us. We have let —” “That's not it,” I interrupted before he could say anything more, knowing that he would only spurt more nonsense if care wasn't taken. Whatever informed them I was trying to forgo my promise? “Then, what is it?” Mike demanded, looking impatient. Though the wine I brought out should have told them that whatever I had to tell them was something good, they didn't seem to think that way. They looked scared, as if I was about to break sad news to them. “I…” I played with my fingers, nervous as I glanced at each of them. They were waiting for my reply, eyes wide as they watched me. It was difficult for
After dinner, we watched a movie before retiring to bed. Since the incident that happened in our room, my mates had locked it up for renovations. They bought a new bed for my chamber and had been sleeping there any time I allowed them in. Most of the night, I wouldn't be in the mood for sex with them, so I would kick them out, to sleep in their room, while I stayed in mine. Tonight was one of the nights that I spent with them, which was why I allowed them into my room without asking them to leave.“Are we sleeping with you tonight, my love?” He asked as he casually brushed my cheek and leaned in to kiss me.I moaned into the kiss, wrapping my hand around his neck as I brought his face closer, wanting him to envelop me with his warmth. Mitch took his time with the kiss before he finally unzipped my dress, and it fell off me. I stood in front of my mates, naked and not shy. I was, after all, expecting this. Which was why I went commando from the night. They seemed very pleased with t
