~ Cain ~

Her scent was a tangle of conflicting emotions. But the strongest was relief. She was relieved that I was there.

I followed her into the house as my wolf, trotting past her when she turned to lock the door because my wolf instincts were still quivering and I needed to be sure the house was empty before I shifted back. So I raced through the house, checking scents and dark corners, while Kelsie called quietly from the living room asking me to come back.

The bond was thrumming now that we were close again. I needed to be close. It had been a helluva day. But I couldn’t relax until I was sure that she was safe.

When I was confident that we were truly alone, I raced back down

    ~ Kelsie ~“This is so embarrassing,” I said to the cops.There were two of them standing at the door in full uniform, both of them looking between me to the room behind me. I hadn’t opened the door all the way, but it was wide enough that they could see the door into the hallway.

    ~ Cain ~ “I’ll go with you!” she blurted, and I felt the panic that suddenly exploded in her chest at the idea. Shit. My shoulders slumped. “Kelsie—” Her chin came up and she stared right into my eyes, setting her jaw. “No, Cain. Don’t do that! Don’t talk to me like I’m a child. I’m not. And this… this between us? I don’t know what it is, but I can feel you! You’re inside me! How is that even possible? I don’t know but… You can’t just leave me! You can’t!” She had grabbed my arms and was gripping me like I might run right then.

    ~ Kelsie ~ When he growled those words it made me giddy. I could feel a hot need for me rising in him and that made my desire rise. But when I leaned into him there was a flash of warning in his eyes and in my chest. “Not yet,” he murmured, stepping back to give me space. Instead I just felt cold. I wanted to be touching him all the time. That knot in my chest was getting bigger, clearer and it was the strangest feeling to have someone else’s feelings in my body. But it was like a piece of him had taken root behind my ribs. And it just made me want him more. I put my hand to my chest and his eyes dropped. He cleared his throat, then dragged his eyes back up to my face.

    ~ Kelsie ~ Cain swallowed hard. “It all changed in a single day. First my mate went missing, and our bond shut down so the only thing I could sense was what direction she was in. I couldn’t feel her emotions, or link our minds. “When our pack enforcers couldn’t find where she had gone or why, I went hunting for her, following my sense of where she was. And when I reached a place far out in the woods I got close enough to scent her—and through that I could tell that she was in pain and fear. “I warned the males I was with that it might be an attempt from one of the neighboring Alphas to take her in order to get me. They want my power, you see. If they can take my dominance, my pack becomes theirs, and their power

    ~ Kelsie ~ “Are you serious?” I gasped. But instead of laughing or rolling his eyes, Cain’s expression got very intense. He stroked my face again and sighed. “Of course I’m serious. I want to be clear: To a wolf, marriage is… unnecessary. The matebond is so much more binding, so much more intense. But you aren’t a wolf, Kelsie. I spoke with my friend who has a human mate, and things are different for them. I want to do whatever is needed to give us the best shot at success together… I want you to be certain that this is no joke. We’re walking into the rest of our lives. And… I believe it may help your parents feel more certain that I am committed to you when they learn what we’ve done.” His face got very serious then and he watched me for a response care

  • My Alpha Teacher's Pet   29. The Vows

    ~ Cain ~ It took three, frustrating hours to find a marriage celebrant who was available and willing to help us the same day. Luckily our state made marriage licenses available for legal adults online for only a fee. The whole process felt like nothing but a delay, and my wolf continued to press me towards Kelsie. When it had become clear we were really doing this, she had gone to her house saying she wanted to dress nicely. Even though it was difficult to be apart from her, I could sense her presence, so I didn’t argue. And once I had everything in place, I texted her to let her know we needed to leave in an hour, then got in the shower myself. I only owned one suit and it was a dark gray. But with a crisp white shirt and dark shoes, I hoped it would be enough. I had just buckled my belt when I heard Kelsie open the sliding door at the back and trot up the hallway towards my room. My heart beat faster as her scent wafted towards me—she’d put on a subtle perfume, but to me it wa

I could feel his feelings inside my chest, and he could feel mine. He had a talent for showing up exactly when I needed help and just being awesome. But that moment, when he took my hands and started those vows… it was magic. He looked into my eyes and started to speak, and the

Because suddenly, Kelsie could hear all of them clearly, and they could feel her—sense her love, her strength, and her heart.And they were starting to love her as much as I did.Well, almost.For the past hour we had huddled together on a log next to the bonfire, a thick blanket over our legs.

I didn’t know where she and her mother had found such a gown, but she looked stunning in it. It looked like the entire thing had been knitted—like a thick, luxurious cableknit sweater, yet somehow it hugged every curve of her body from the high turtleneck, all the way down to her hips where it flared and hung in heavy gathers—but when she moved, the fabric clung to her legs beneath the skirt as well, revealing every curve and… I had to clear my throat and remind myself we had an audience as Kelsie reached up to hug her father, and the pack began to gather

I wasn’t so sure. I stood at one end of the small clearing near our packhouse, arms folded and my sweater-sleeves pulled up to my forearms because that was how Kelsie liked them. My breath made a cloud in the winter air, b

    ~ Kelsie ~I was stunned when Felix became human again. Then hope rose in my chest, because he was clearly weak and struggling. Bleeding and panting, staring at Cain and struggling to speak.A little piece of me crumbled. He looked so shaky and broken. I wondered if he would submit and Cain would let him live. I could feel my mate’s conflicting emotions, that he didn’t relish killing his brother. But the betrayal…The fiercest emotion burning in Cain was rage—at the betrayal.I knew this wasn’t easy on him.I swayed closer, wanting to go to him, but knowing I couldn’t intervene while they were still technically fighting.All the wolves stared at them, eyes cold a

    ~ Cain ~Had I been fighting another wolf who didn’t know me so well, this was the moment to engage, to rush and take their neck high and bear down, flip the dog on his back and close on his throat if he didn’t submit.But Felix would be expecting that. And sure enough, in the blink where he realized there was no danger behind him and returned his full attention to me, he switched—rushing his longer body and heavier weight forward, on the attack, to make me hesitate.I didn’t even think, just let my instincts take over and feinted, first to one side, then the other, waiting for the third switch and praying Felix would instinctively anticipate it.And he did.A howl of victory started in my head as Felix shifted h

But there wasn’t time to think about it or give in to regret.I had a wolf to kill.I didn’t hesitate.As Felix raised his hackles to make himself look as big—and be as difficult to grip—as possible, I was already flying through the air towards him, ready to take the throat of my own brother.But for the second time in a few hours, time slowed, as if I moved through thick mud and saw ever

And… Felix…” she trailed off. I waited, but then my patience snapped.“Felix, what?!” I roared.Many of the wolves flinched, including Lauren, whose head dropped even lower. She clutched her hands in her lap.“Felix admired me. He needed me. He wanted me. You… you didn’t.”“Didn’t need you?” Are you fucking kidding, Lauren?! You were my mate!”

But Felix went on, relentless.“She’d promised me that she’d raise me. That I would become Alpha over the others, except her. She’d promised me that I would have her all to myself. I just had to make you believe that it was me who was running the whole coup. She didn’t think… she didn’t think she could fool you if you had a chance to actual
