“How soon do we need to do the next one and which one needs to go? And when we get done with all of this I have so many questions.” They both smile at me, but I’m not sure if it’s indulgent like with a child being cute or if they actually like that I am curious. “We will do the Oleander next. I b
“She’s not wrong.” “What do you mean? I ask questions all the time. I think I annoy people with how many questions I ask.” “Those are training questions or school questions. This is a boy question, otherwise you would have brought everyone in and gotten opinions.” My jaw drops open. “Stop dera
Elena and Gentry were right, the Oleander patch was not nearly as bad. The magic surrounding it was a soft pink and just like the wolfsbane it appeared friendly and inviting, but it sure attacked when we started to work against it. This time the images I saw were the guys, my brother, my friends a
“Why are you guys being weird?” I call over from the sink as I wash my hands. “What do you remember this time? From the magic release, I mean.” He lets me pass him and puts his hand on the small of my back, steering me towards the bed. Cam and Kota have switched spots. “Seriously. What is go
Turns out trouble finds me more quickly than I want to admit. Everyone is downstairs in the formal dining room. We have actually turned it into our version of a war room from the warrior house. There are maps and lists everywhere. Nathaniel hung a large screen to show surveillance videos in here
I take a deep breath collecting my thoughts and I look down at the box again. “What the hell?” I say more to myself. I only saw and smelled the Luna’s hands at first and I was so angry I missed the rest of the package contents and I want to throw up. “That’s how we knew it was for you.” Jena whi
They both look at me with concern and I think they are going to fight me pushing this. I know it’s going to be hard, but when has anything I have ever done not been hard? Never. Obviously, I was designed more like a cat than a dog and we are going to use all nine of my lives before this is over. S
We load up, this has become second nature already, and head to the Belladonna patch in the Northeast corner of the island.The forest here is so lush and green. I don’t normally run this part of the patrol. We don’t tend to get a lot of ocean based attacks so we patrol here, but it is light. I instan
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
