I walk next to her and wrap her up in my arms, she buries her face in my stomach and holds me tight around the waist. She’s not crying though. I’m not sure if that’s because she is focusing on staying calm for him, since they can feel each other through the bond, or if she’s coming to terms with t
Firm hands grab my shoulders and I stiffen. He doesn’t try to move me, just keeps me from opening the door. I take a breath in and that’s when I noticed it, I can smell Cam’s thick citrus smell, but faintly blending with that is her. The smell might be a day or so old, but it’s there on his skin. He
I go back to sitting on the cot and lean my back up against the wall, pull my knees up to my chest and just stare at the Alpha. The three of them want me here, fine, but I don’t have to play nice and friendly. I want to link Sam and Oliver, but the twins don’t know that I can yet and I don’t want
“Repeat it, please! Talk to Oliver if you can’t talk directly to me, but say the words, PLEASE!” I gowl out between clenched teeth. I have started to sweat and feel really nauseous. Dakota gets the words out and we all start to vibrate. I have chills running through my whole body. Every time Ca
“That’s it.” “What?!” “I think I know why I feel like sh*t at least. I think my healing powers were siphoned off to get rid of whatever that sh*t is.” I point at the ceiling. “I’m probably healing normally now.” Luna Ava looks over at the twins. “Boys, I need to talk to Skylar now, alone.” She
They don’t need to ask, we all felt it. Alpha Lucas is gone. The new Alpha bond formed immediately. “What needed to be done.” Gamma Brett said. “You know magic was being used against us, through the Alpha. He and Ava made a decision and it's the right one, to save us all.” He’s holding Ava tigh
“We need to move you and your team back into the packhouse, Bitty. You can’t be on the other side of town. You are too close to the border too.” “We’ve been fine and being on the border helps with patrols and checking in with Elena, Osiston and Alpha Reggie.” Cameron scrubs his face with his han
Thank the Goddess the Elite warriors are made of strong stuff because Kaley was at least smart enough to not follow Oliver and I, but the minute we were not in her eyesight she started ripping into him. I mind linked him to apologize for leaving him with that hot mess. “You need to move into the 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
