“You ready Sky?” Delta Kyle calls out to me. I nod my head without looking away from my target. “Ready? GO!” A torrent of sound comes from the kids. Several charge my way as I run towards them. Just before they reach me I break left towards the side walls of the arena and jump to the ledge conti
“Well, thank you for the absolute destruction of our fragile egos, but we have a date after all of that and Oliver has some lunch to buy us.” Sam walks up and puts his arm around my shoulder. “Actually there's another class.” I say biting my lip, looking as apologetic as I can. “But you guys can go
An older woman comes out with a tray full of drinks. “Oh! You boys brought company. How did you manage to get these lovely ladies to even come near you like this? You smell like a locker room that hasn’t been cleaned in a year.” Oh Goddess, I love her already. I stifled my giggle. Sierra didn't ev
“Oh, really?” She just notices us sitting here. She looks daggers at me then at Sierra and there’s nothing I can do or say. I’m stuck between these two giant guys and I just stuffed a large bite of burger into my mouth. “You never have extras at your table. We are with you all the time and have nev
“There’s no way, just wishful thinking on her part probably. That’s what you get for giving into the crazy ones. Now that she’s had you two in the sheets, she thinks she’s got her claws in you permanently.” Mateo supplies. My face goes beet red again. All this open, nonchalant s*x talk is new for
After two weeks, I was pulled into a dark closet following school, a large hand covering my mouth and part of my nose making it hard to breathe, another gripping the back of my neck, squeezing the muscles tight enough to render me motionless. Then I felt punches to both sides of my ribs from the ba
About a month after the diner incident Sierra pulled me into an empty classroom. She looks around to make sure we are alone. “Talk, or I am going to Delta Kyle and Luna Ava. They clearly know more than the rest of us. I saw the marks on your back and you have more and more bruises all the time. Yo
“Wait, what? No way! Didn’t I just say I wasn’t running to anyone for help?” “Not for help. You don’t have to give me details, I want to know so I can help you heal quickly. You won’t let anyone step in, but you at least let Delta Kyle give you stuff to treat the really bad injuries. Let me be
Thank you all so much for reading my story and sticking with me for the long haul. This book was over a year and a half in the making and all the support and comments have truly been inspiring. I appreciate you all more than you know. I am a new writer and learning as I go and you have all shown
Epilogue 85 years later.“There’s no way you’re going to make that happen.” Silas is challenging Mack to a timed speed race. “What’s going on here?” Cam slades up behind me, wrapping me in his arms.“The boys just heard about the challenges we used to do and that I beat all of you guys at one ti
Epilogue 7“You couldn’t just ask one of our warriors for a meeting? You had to interrupt our family dat and demand we see you here.” Oliver comes up next to me.“Seriously? There’s no way any of you would have seen me, and you never would have let her talk to me. If she was my mate, I wouldn’t l
Epilogue 6I was kept in the hospital for a full week after I woke up. Sierra’s parents took all kinds of samples for testing and actually packed a bunch up from me and the girls to take back to their lab to see if they can find a pattern or a way to help our family in the future. Elena and Gentry
Epilogue 5“Yep. On it.” Dakota blurts, momentarily disturbing the tiny girl in his arms. He recovers quickly whispering to her, holding her close to his face and smiling like an idiot, but she loves it smiling at the sound of his voice, or maybe his familiar scent. I'm not sure what they can sens
“I think you’ll find giving us three pups will wear you out a bit.” Oliver says sitting next to me gently tilting his pile of blankets.The tiniest most precious face I have ever seen peeks out. She’s barely the size of his forearm, but looks completely at home snuggled into him. I look at Oliver’s
Epilogue 4“No! Stop that thought right there. Once we start that, I get nothing done the rest of the day.” I put my finger up in his face then move past him to wash my hands, which is another amazing feat since I have to stand sideways. He just laughs behind me. They used to try to hide when th
Epilogue 3“What do we do? What can we do to make this better for you?” Cam climbs behind me, resting against the wall of pillows behind us and pulling me back between his legs. Oliver’s head drops to the bed unceremoniously.“Not okay man.” He half grumbles, half laughs, then crawls towards me t
“We’ll talk more about this tomorrow.” She turns to run at Sam, I’m sure crying again. This hormone sh*t is no joke.Before I can even think about her fast retreat, I am scooped up and carried away. Oliver’s honey scent doesn’t surprise me as I bury my face in his neck to calm my nerves. We obvi
