They each wrap an arm loosely across my legs and I can feel my cheeks burn at being so close to both of them like this. It’s one thing for them all to throw me around when we are at training or messing around. That feels like brotherly affection, but like this, it’s different. I can’t even touch t
I just want to crawl in a hole. I know my cheeks are flaming and I focus very hard on the uneaten food on my plate. I can’t make eye contact with anyone, I feel like such a freak. No teenager acts the way I do. I didn’t realize I brought that much attention to myself today. Sierra isn’t one to
“Why are you so caught up in this warrior training? It has nothing to do with you. As soon as you graduate, you’ll find your mate and give him pups right away. You have no need for all the training you do as it is.” My father chimes in. I have successfully avoided him all night. He’s not looking
They walk us inside and up the stairs, down the hallway to the hidden staircase that leads up to the third floor. Cam reaches a keypad and types in a code then presses his thumb down. I never realized how much security they had for their private areas. I don’t remember the Luna doing anything lik
“Hey! No hogging the girls!” Kota whines. “You snooze, you lose, sorry brother.” Sam chuckles up at him. Kota responds by smacking him in the back of the head. This starts an all out wrestling match on and over the couches. Sierra and I move to the corners to avoid being trampled, but laughing hy
When I woke up next I was in a bed and the room was still dark with just the light from the moon shining through the sheer curtains. I stretched and took a deep breath in. This smell was all Kota. That warm cinnamon smell just lulling me deeper into the cloudlike cushion of the mattress. I was so co
I learned my lesson though, these boys will come find me and they will be pissed if they have to search. So I found a piece of paper in Kota’s room and wrote a simple note telling them I had to run and would meet them at the training grounds and left it on my brother’s phone. Let’s hope this wil
“It slipped your mind that I was going to be moved out of my home? Do the Luna and Alpha know? Does Dad know? Oh, Goddess he is going to be so pissed. Or maybe not. Did he kick me out? Is that what happened? He hates me so much that he doesn’t even want me in his house now either?” I'm startin
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
