“Alright, burgers are all done, everyone go and fill a plate.” Alpha Lucas calls and ushers everyone into the kitchen with the large platter of grilled meat. We all filled up plates and went back out to take seats at an oversized table off to one side of the pool. Everything was so delicious. We w
“But what about dad, and his reputation?” I tense up in Mateo’s hold. “He’s going to be so angry at me when he finds out people know he doesn’t really want me and he blames me for mom’s death. He’s going to lock me in my room for a week after this. Maybe worse if the Luna yelled at him.” I can feel
The parents must have decided to leave us alone after my emotional display. So it’s just Sierra, the guys and I sitting at the patio table now enjoying dessert. I can still hear the adults talking somewhere inside the house though. “So, you get to pick my birthday cake every year Sam! This was gre

“A lot of this has gone on in your presence and you were too caught up in yourselves to notice, you nonverbally gave permission for this to happen to me and, more importantly, to others. So no, you don’t get to “handle this’ or ‘deal with it’.” I air quote. “I am handling it in my own way, and that
Skylar Choruses of ‘Sky,’ ‘Skylar,’ and my various nicknames are being shouted behind me, but they don’t follow. I don’t know if they are respecting what I want or if Sierra is keeping them back, but I just need to walk away and cool off. I walk into my back door and through the kitchen straight t
When we got to our destination, I was thrown to the ground. I heard whispering, which means these kids didn’t have their wolves yet to mindlink. The Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta had the power to push a mindlink through to anyone, wolf or not. It made giving directions in a crisis easier. But, un

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
