My hesitation immediately lets Wyatt know that I did find something. He quickly shouts, “OMG! You aren’t saying anything! That can only mean that you did find something!”
At this moment, I wish that I’m actually talking to Wyatt on the phone instead of through the mind link. I could pull the phone away from my ear. However, I can’t do anything to block his loud voice as my head begins to throb.
I huff, “Did you have to yell? UGH!! My head is throbbing now.”
I walk back into my apartment with the empty beer bottles in my hand while I lightly shake my head trying to get rid of the dull throb.
In a softer voice, Wyatt asks, “Well, did you find your second mate?”
I walk into the kitchen and set the beer bottles on the container. I guess that even though I don’t want to tell Wyatt about this yet, I don’t have a choice. He a
I peak around the corner and watch the Dean as he stands frozen just inside his office door. Without seeing his face, I already know that he is happy. Shoot, I’m happy that I can finally move around. Granted, I’m not back to being 100% normal, but I still have managed to get up early this morning and fix the Dean breakfast.Besides Noah, Mint has been nursing me back to health. She knew something is off when I didn’t bring food in for the Dean several days in a row.It is a good thing that she had checked up on me back then. Noah was helping, but he didn’t help as much as Mint did to get me back up and healthy again. At the time, I was almost ready to call an ambulance and go to the hospital. However, with Mint’s help, I was able to stay at home and nurse myself back to health.What also has helped me to recover is the thought that the Dean isn’t getting any homecooke
She is back. She is really back.I’m so excited.I stare down at my lunchbox on my desk with the biggest smile that I’ve ever had on my face. I knew in the back of my mind that she didn’t leave me. But that can only mean one thing. She was gone or out of town for a while, or she has been ill this whole entire time. My gut is telling me that she was sick. I don’t know how I know, but I’m sure that she would have left me a note letting me know that she needs to go out of town for a few days, which I never got.If I had only known who she is, I would have gone to her place and helped her recover. Even now, that I’m excited to have her food again, I still can’t get rid of this underlying feeling that she is still not feeling the best. I don’t know why either, but I do. My wolf is wagging his tail and prancing around at the sight of the food, but
With everything happening these past few weeks, or you can say months, I can’t help but to feel guilty towards May. Part of me knows that she would want me to move on, and if the Moon Goddess has decided that I need another mate, May would be the first person to tell me to accept what the Moon Goddess has given me. However, there is another part of me which loves my late wife so much and doesn’t want to move on. I don’t know how Wyatt is handling this. I’m sure he has gone through some of these same feelings. How did he handle it? I glance down at the photo album in my hands. This is the only thing that I brought with me that has May and Matt in it. I wasn’t going to bring anything, but at the last minute, I just couldn’t come here without something for times like this when I really miss them. My hand trembles slightly as I open the cover. I haven’t looked through this photo album in a long time. Whe
I tentatively sit down in a chair in the conference room at the university’s administrative building. I’m still not feeling the greatest, but I’m feeling well enough to make this appointment. Plus, I don’t think that anything could stop me from coming to this interview. I slowly glance around the room as my fingers fidget while I try to rest my hands on my lap. A slight chill rushes through my body, but I’m not going to leave. As soon as Mint has told me about the job opening, I want it. No. I don’t just want it. I need to get this job. Not only will it allow me to have access to the Dean’s office, so I wouldn’t have to sneak the food to Mint anymore, but I can also see the Dean’s face every day. Mint keeps telling me that the Dean smiles every time he sees the food container. I want to see if for myself. I want to know that it makes him happy. The bonus is that I wouldn’t have to
Ugh… Why did Wyatt have to ask me to help with this? Since it pertains to our pack, I can’t just let anyone else work on it. However, I can have my new analysis research and pull the data for each significant person within the pack along with the various companies, if there are any, associated with them. That will help out a great deal. I have pulled a lot of the data on the alphas, betas, and elders for each pack that is going to be at the gathering, but I haven’t cross referenced them with the companies that they run. Now, I need to pull that information and gather it up to provide the necessary information to Wyatt. The whole time that my new analysis is working on that, I will be working on trying to find or remember the contracts from hundreds of years ago. I remember seeing some of them before, but I need to go through my mind and see what I actually saw and where. I’m positive that I haven’t seen al
Oh my gosh. He’s smiling at me.I can’t believe that I’m still standing.A few moments ago, when the Dean first started to smile and talk about working directly with me, I could have sworn that I was going to faint. Luckily, the room spinning didn’t last for more than a few short seconds, before my vision is able to return to normal.If I could, I would stand here for hours staring at the Dean while I memorize ever detail. To put simply, the Dean is perfect.His short dark brown hair practically screams for me to run my fingers through it. Even his small mole on the side of his neck is also begging me to touch it, but not just touched it. No. It is begging for me to lick it and maybe even nibble it a little bit.It is a good thing that I can’t see anymore of his skin and that his clothes are covering him up, or my mind might go crazy. However, I’m
Wyatt’s voice chimes in my head. “So, cous, did you get started on the project that I asked you to help with?”I slightly chuckle and smile as I look down on my tasty food box. I don’t know how my mysterious food lady knows what I like to eat, but it is almost like she can read my mind. As I scoop up some food, I reply via the mind link, “Yes, cous. I even hired an additional staff person to help with it. Well, technically, I didn’t hire the person for this particular project, but this is going to be the first project that Tyler works on. He dove right into it, and I have to say that he is a whiz at analysis and research.”Wyatt’s voice teases, “Cous, do you realize what you just said? Are you feeling all right?”I take a bite of my food and can’t control myself as I practically moan, “hmmmm…”Wyatt’s high pitch voice sudden
I can’t believe that I’m going to be spending the weekend with the Dean. Well, technically, we will be working, but I’m still going to be spending the weekend with him.He won’t tell me anything about where we are going, except the fact that there are some really old documents there that he has to look through. I get the impression that it doesn’t have anything to do with the university, but I don’t care. I still get to spend some time with the Dean.I can still remember the way my heart raced and slammed hard against my chest when the Dean told me about this trip. Surprisingly, the Dean didn’t ask me about my racing heart, but I could have sworn that he heard it. He raised his eyebrow raised slightly, but that can’t be possible though. The Dean is smart and can do a lot of things, but he doesn’t have super hearing.At least, I won’t have to worry about hi
Tyler and I walk out of another university meeting with all the departments heads. After several years, they are finally listening to me and doing what I ask in order to speed the meetings along. It was a rough first year though, but they all have ended up coming around. I think they probably got tired of fighting. I’m not going to back down from my policies and procedures, no matter who they know or how they have gotten their title. None of that matters to me. In addition, I think it have surprised them that I didn’t let Alpha Marcus bully me to get his way. The previous dean had bent as soon as Alpha Marcus applied some pressure, but I didn’t. Well, Alpha Marcus did try, but he had no idea who he was messing with. Still to this day, none of Alpha Marcus’ pack know that Tyler and I are part of the Sun Moon pack, which gives us a leg up. Well, it doesn’t really matter now whether we have a leg up or
Tyler POV I stretch my arms out in front of me while I look at them. I still can’t believe that there was black fur there only a few minutes ago. I really did it. I shifted. I can’t lie. It hurt even more than I thought it would. Man, that hurt like hell. Theo walks up behind me and wraps his arms around my stomach. “Hey, what are you looking at?” A small smile dances across my face as I continue to stare at my arms. “I still can’t believe it. Just a few moments ago, I had fur all over my body and now, it is all gone.” A soft chuckle rolls out of my mate’s mouth as he leans against my back while he tightens his arms around my waist. “Baby, that is what a werewolf does. You are now a full-blooded werewolf and when needed, you will grow gorgeous black fur along with some sharp fangs and a tail. You better get used to it, because you will be a
Tyler POV I tentatively look around the small group. We are the only ones standing in the middle of the field, which is exactly how I want it to be. The elders are here too, but I guess I don’t have any choice on them being here or not. Wyatt smiles at me before he glances around the group. “It is time. Let’s form a small circle. Kane and I, along with Theo, will stand closer to Tyler, just in case we are needed.” He turns back to the Supreme Elder, “Is there anything that we are missing?” The Supreme Elder smiles and glances at me before she turns back to him. “No. The people that need to be here are here. We just need to give Tyler the strength to go through his first shift.” I bite my lower lip. My first shift. My mate has even confessed to me that it hurts the first time, but after that the wolf handles the pain and you don’t really feel it. However, m
Tyler POVI look around but I don’t see anything. I know that I’m not awake, but where am I.I continue to look around, but I still don’t see anything. However, I could swear that I see something all black moving, but I’m not sure exactly what it is.As I try to figure out what it is, a soft chuckle fills the air. “You don’t know who I am. Do I have to really tell you who I am?”I don’t have to try and catch the movement again. Right in front of me, a big black wolf steps out of the shadows and stands right in full view. However, I’m not shocked or even afraid of it. Strangely, I’m comfortable.A smile appears on my face as I stare at the big wolf. “No, you don’t have to tell me who you are. You are my wolf, but I don’t know your name. Wait. Do you even have a name?”
I rush into my apartment. I breathe a sigh of relief when Finn and Tommy look up at me from the couch and shake their head, letting me know that Tyler is still asleep. I’m so happy I have gotten here in time. The downside is I’m still a little tense from having that meeting with Alpha Marcus. I know I was briefed on what the man was like, but that didn’t prepare me for what I actually discovered while talking to him. I didn’t even have to look into his mind to see the arrogance and mightier than thou attitude. I think people on the moon could see it. I’m not surprised when I actually did take a few moments to look into his mind and see exactly what he is doing. However, mindlinking with Wyatt and Uncle Seth, while I was leaving the office, didn’t help to relax me either. That man just infuriates me. There is no way I will sit back and let him try to take control of the werewolf community.&nbs
I still can’t believe what Wyatt has told me. Tyler is a dormant werewolf, who because of Wyatt and Kane’s healing is now transforming into an actual werewolf.I knew that our pack possessed powers greater than what we could ever imagine, but this is something that not even I could have thought about. I can’t say that I’m not happy. I would take Tyler in any form, but I’m ecstatic that he will actually be a werewolf soon. I’m just hoping that he also gets his wolf soon. I wonder when we can start mind linking to each other.I’m brought out of my thoughts as Fai walks into my office and chimes, “Sir, your appointment is here.”I look up at her and nod.I really don’t want to be here, but this appointment can’t be changed. He insists on having a face to face meeting. I have asked my cousin and Tyler if it is all right, along the Supr
Tyler POVI slowly flutter my eyes open.My body isn’t sore at all, and my energy is back up to normal. I don’t even have to ask, Wyatt and Kane must have been here while I was sleeping. I usually walk up at the end of their healing treatment, but I slept right through it today.My eyes instantly travel to the living room, where Theo is sitting and working again. I swear that is all he does is work. Well, that is until he sees me.A faint smile spreads across my face as my eyes are locked on him.Instantly, my body begins to warm up and a burning desire starts building deep inside of me. I don’t know what is happening to me, but if it means that I can have my sexy mate make love to me over and over again, I’m not going to complain. However, at some point, I know that this has to end. The bonding process will be complete, and we can go back to how we
I sigh in relief when Wyatt and Kane show up within only minutes. I know that they have plenty to do and a lot on their plate, but my parents just won’t listen to me. It always takes either Wyatt or his father to get through to my parents.I still don’t know why they are like this. Aren’t werewolf parents supposed to know when to ask questions and when not to? Or even what proper etiquette is? I guess my parents skipped out on those lessons when they were growing up.Before Wyatt can even knocks, I open the door. I lean towards him and softly mumble, “Thanks,” as Wyatt and Kane walk into my apartment. I don’t know what Wyatt has told Kane about my parents, but I hope he has given him the full story and not just a partial one. You have to be fully prepared when dealing with my parents.Wyatt smiles and gently taps my shoulder but walks past me to the couch, where my pa
I stare down at Tyler sleeping peacefully in my arms.This is a first. Tyler is a human, and he shouldn’t have gone into a heat, but he did. I’m going to have to ask the elders if this has ever happened before. Maybe it is because Wyatt and Kane have been healing him every day. I’m not sure, but it could be possible.However, I have to admit that he has turned me on even more than I already am. The look of lust in his eyes while he was moaning my name instantly made my body and my wolf want him.I gently kiss the top of his head and softly whisper, “Tyler, I love you.”In his sleep, Tyler replies, “I love you too, Theo.”***Ring…ring…ring….ring….ring…Ugh. What time is it?With Tyler still in my arms and while I’m still half asleep, I grab my phone off the nightstand. Without looking at
