“Seriously, I need to make a bet on who says something first. They won’t last ten seconds.” She mumbles to herself. “What are you talking about? Let’s go get this over with.” I open the door and we both head back down following the voices still in the kitchen, although it sounds like less than ea
I don’t know what Mateo told them about my birthday, but it feels like he is personally trying to make up for the last 15 years all in one shot. I discovered quickly that I had to watch what I showed interest in. If he thought for even a second I liked something, he would ask if I wanted him to buy
I walked out, stepped up onto the platform and all the guys looked up from their phones and just stared at me, frozen in their movements. “Yes!” This is a great color on you. Sierra cries. “Spin, slowly, please.” She indicates by twirling her finger. “I like it, but you don’t look super excited.
“I think we have found it, my friends.” She claps her hands. “Go change so we can buy it and get shoes to match!” Her voice had gone a few octaves higher in her excitement. “Wait a minute. I said not happening. And stop drooling you f*ckers.” Mateo looks over to his friends. Sam was the first to
“What did you get? Anything special for a special person, maybe?” She points to the very feminine shopping bags the twins held then clasps her hands in front of her twisting back and forth at the waist like an excited little kid. Maybe she thinks it’s cute and innocent looking. She really just look
“You got her?” Cam asks from behind me. It’s the first time any of them have spoken on the ten minute walk back to the truck. Before I can ask what he means, someone steps close to me. “Yep.” Oliver slides an arm around my waist from the back and pulls me close to him. My back is touching his st
We step into the industrial sized open concept kitchen. It is all stainless steel, black countertops and white cabinets. Very masculine compared to the rest of the house. But it is designed to be able to host large pack functions so fashion doesn’t really play a role here. Although the Luna has

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
