“Why don’t we go take a walk.” Rando says in a low voice, that, I’m sure, was meant to be inviting, but I am just stuck having never been flirted with by anyone other than the guys, who I don’t take seriously at all. He slowly starts to trail his hand up my statue-like arm and gently wraps his hand
“We first want to thank Alpha King Reginald and Luna Queen Anne and their son Prince Alexander for joining us this week for Elite Warrior trials. It truly is an honor to be a host pack and I know all of our young trainees have had an amazing time with your warriors. I know they are all excited to
“You seem to be the only person aware of those differences though. For example, mom, what color are our eyes?” Kota looks pointedly at Luna Ava. “You both have that beautiful teal color, why?” “Sky, tell her what you see.” He looks at me. Now I’m nervous about being put on the spot. I take my
I finally had to step away to get some water and take a break. I was standing at the island in the kitchen, chugging a bottle of water and heard voices from the back hallway that leads to the garage. “I just don’t know why she wants to keep it a secret. If I was her, I would tell everyone.” “I
“What, why?” His smile falls and he almost looks like Sam pouting. “That smile is going to knock her on her ass. I take that back, you are going to be in trouble when you find your mate. She is going to lock you up after you throw that smile her way. I thought you were good looking before, but t
What in the hell is going on? Why are all my friends in my room? This cannot be comfortable and I don’t smell alcohol on them, so I don’t think it is a drunken thing, but who knows. I’m too wide awake now to try and wiggle my way between the twins, so I grab Cam’s sweatshirt from the floor and he
I nod and turn to walk back up the stairs. “You were put up with Cameron and Dakota?” She takes a deep deliberate inhale. Obviously catching the scent off the sweatshirt to answer her own question. “How did you manage that? I was told no one but warriors were being added to that floor, even when a
We stand in silence as the elevator rides up to the fourth floor. It’s tense, but not uncomfortable. Even my wolf knows something important is going on and is taking in every detail she can. I try to steady my breathing, just like waiting for an opponent to strike in a fight. Finally, the eleva
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
