I nod and then realize they can’t see me. “Okay, can you keep talking, please.” I can’t hide the desperation in my voice. I need this to be real, even if I have lost my mind, it can be real in my head for as long as possible. It’s the only thing that keeps me moving forward. They each take turns
“Have you talked to your wolf? How is she?” I ask as we warm ourselves by the fire. “I haven’t talked to her yet. She’s there, I can feel her, but she’s still locked away somewhere. How did yours come back so quickly?” It didn’t even cross my mind that it was a fast return for my wolf and the
The rest of the team sidled into the cave with us. I had to wake Jena up, even with all of the commotion of my reunion with my friends. She was very lethargic and weak even after sleeping across my back for most of the day. She cowered behind me as I suspected she would. So Osiston and Alpha Re
I move closer, facing Jena with my back to Doc Sylvia. It takes no time to find mine. It’s right at the base of my skull, just inside the hairline. So unless you’re someone who plays with your hair a lot you would never notice the tiny scar and bump under the skin. I mean for me, it could be mist
I laugh too at the thought of Mike running all over the place to find us. “What if there is more to it than that?” “Then we work one problem at a time with our team. Alpha King Reggie has some of the best tech people around and now that we know that magic is being used and an idea of how it works
Doc Sylvia tears open a small white packet that has several medical instruments in it. She set the items down on a metal tray propped on two more stacked storage bins. She already has her gloves in Jena’s hair, pulling the majority of it up into a clip. The small section that remains surrounds th
“No! No, I mean I got my standard beating treatment, he likes the brutality, but he seemed to like the audience, so I had to watch.” I shudder with Jena in my arms and Doc Sylvia just nods. She takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. “Let’s get you both back by the fire, get some food in you a
Warmth. Softness. Safety. That’s what I feel right now. I recognize the smells here, even before my brain and body fully wake-up. I’m home, I can feel it in every fiber of my being. A smile creeps across my face as I start to blink my eyes open and take in my surroundings. “SKYLAR!” A scream
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
