I walk over and stand right in front of him. With the height difference his eyes are right at my lips. He parts his legs so I can step in, but I shake my head and he looks confused until I push his knees closed and sit on his lap, thankful he chose the armless chair so I can scoot close enough to w
They seriously try to hold me down as Lil counts, “5…4…3…” “Oliver, if you don’t let me go right now I will not let you touch me until AFTER my birthday.” I have not been righted, standing on my feet so fast ever in my life and he looks a little terrified. “Well, we know who will cave first in
“AH hahahahahaha! It’s a ‘getting busy’ beacon for Midge.” Lil and Jena both start laughing hysterically at me and I bury my beet red face in Dakota’s chest. This is so embarrassing. I can’t look at anybody, because everybody knows what we were doing in the office. “It’s not just me.” I say not
“I’m sure if it was connected to Sam and Sierra, they would be putting on a show just to see how crazy they could make it.” My brother laughs and I’m thankful for the attention shift. Gentry moves over by the fire and sits on the ground, Elena came though the kitchen with a book like my grimoire b
“Can I touch it? Now that I know I’m connected, will it hurt me if I touch the fire?” Elena and Gentry look at each other. “We don’t know. And, until we know if it is harmful or helpful, I would advise not making contact.” Elena pushes my hand down, I didn’t even know it was raised. I look at my
***’Whoa! Elena. You can mindlink now?” ***”Apparently so, being your father’s mate and accepted by the leadership of this pack has allowed my magic to connect to the magic of your wolves. That is also a subject that we will have to navigate at some point in the future Little One. I have heard
I want to say that I’m sitting right here, but this is way too much fun to watch. Dakota turns to look at me and under the table he rubs the inside of my foot with his. “I was kind of hoping we could hang out tonight, just the four of us.” He tries to sound sweet. “We finally have you after wait
I tried my best to concentrate on the conversations that are happening around the table. It sounds like Ava and Brett have a good start on the warriors moving to the ranked street. She seems to be enjoying having something to focus on. She doesn’t engage as much as she used to as the pack’s Luna, bu
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
