“I will not stay here, caged and restricted. I will leave at the first opportunity and you may or may not be told about it if this is how you are going to react." I changed my focus to the Alpha. "Alpha, may I use your gym? The Luna does not want us to go out alone, and I respect that, but I don’t
When all of my limbs are numb, and I can’t even lift my arms to throw punches, I sit in front of the new bag and just stare at the hole I produced. The bowels of stuffing and sand spilling out onto the floor in front of me. I don’t even know when it broke. I just stare and cry, let the emotional ex
“NO!” She flinches back and I briefly feel bad for being so nasty to her, when she only wants to help, but I shake it off. I walk to the chair that has my dirty, bloodstained clothes. I drop the hospital gown, not caring who sees my scars anymore. If they want to care for me they can look at me
I get about five feet from his door when a hand grabs my wrist. I instinctively twist and take a defensive stance ready for an attack. “Relax! It’s just me.” Sierra whisper yells, dodging my fist as it comes flying at her face. “I told the guys you would show up here, they didn’t believe me. They
That’s strange, I thought he wasn’t going to say anything to the pack until he actually had something to tell. My wolf questions. Maybe news from the Alpha King set him off. We aren’t in the pack house so we aren’t privileged to that info anymore. Or he just thinks it’s a good idea to be prepared
“We all need to report to dad after school, all warriors fifteen and older are going to start running patrols. He wants to pair underage warriors with seasoned warriors so we can all learn the routes and procedures. Ride with us or don’t, it’s up to you, but we’re all going to the same place.” Sam
We play the rest of our day the same. SIerra and I trying to hold awkward, mundane conversations while the guys listened in, but pretended not to pay any attention to us. As I was putting my books away at the end of this mind-numbingly long day while Sierra waited on me so we could head over to che
“We’re going to be late to meet Delta Kyle.” I say over my shoulder to no one in particular. “Are we walking together or not?” I don’t get an answer as Kaley grabs their attention again. “Should Marnie, Jeanie and I meet you at the packhouse Saturday for the ball or are you boys going to come and p
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
