Outside The Pack (Mated To The Night Book 1) 81
“I’ve been thinking about that,” I said. “Iggy mentioned that she’d scented them around our borders. I asked her to keep an eye on it.”Dom cursed under his breath. Iggy’s death was not only a tragedy and a massive loss for the pack, it had also created a loose end—one that had come to bite us in the ass.I sighed and crossed my arms. “We need to verify that these were the same wolves she was talking about. They didn’t smell like pack, but maybe they were from a group that was just wandering through town.”“I’ll send some men into Colville. You could be right about the wandering packs, but I think they were hungry ferals. They looked scrawny enough to be.”I thought back to the fight and nodded. I hadn’t even noticed how gaunt those wolves looked at the time. My wolf and I had been so focused on keeping Bryn safe that the other wolves were little more than shadowy dangers that were in my way. Now that she was safe, I reflected more about the incident. If those wolves were desperate an

Dom waited until I finished my tirade, and then he asked, totally deadpan, “So, why do you think that is?”I paused. The question was so far out of left field that it actually gave me pause. “What the fuck, Dom?”“I’m just saying,” the smirk was back on his face, “that you’re doing this thing again. You only get this way about Bryn. It almost makes me wonder if you and her might be—”I pointed at him. “Don’t you dare fucking say—”“—mates.” Dom finished with a grin that was a mile wide.I groaned and shook my head. But the more I heard the word, the more I thought about it, the more right it felt. I couldn’t deny the way I reacted when I thought Bryn was at risk, and I certainly couldn’t ignore how recklessly I had behaved when she was threatened right in front of me.My wolf had completely taken over, something he had never done before. I couldn’t let that happen again. My immediate response was to assure everyone that I would keep myself in check, but a promise without taking action

Violet surprised me when she patted the pack of my hand. “Bryn, honey, how much do you know about your past?”I was caught off guard by the question. I thought I’d already told Violet about my origins, but I didn’t mind telling her again.“My mom, Glenda Hunter, found me in the woods. I was just a newborn and apparently abandoned by my birth parents. I still had the umbilical cord attached to me. None of the wolves in the Kings’ pack had been pregnant, and no one knew where I had come from. At first, Mom was certain that I was a wolf, but when she took me home, she quickly realized that I was human. Gregor wanted her to get rid of me, but she chose to raise me anyway. Mom always said to me that the magic of the world had brought us together,” I finished.Violet smiled. “I think I’ll like Glenda very much.”I gave a sad chuckle. Violet said that as if she was going to meet my mom sometime soon, but that was silly. Mom was a four-day trek away, and Troy stood between us. For now, I woul

I started to walk to the door, but Violet was already most of the way there.“Don’t worry. I’ll get it.” She walked to the door and pulled it open.“Hello, Violet.” It was Jasper’s voice. “Is Bryn awake?”Violet must have answered in the affirmative because he bounced into the kitchen, a bright smile on his face.“Hey, Jasper,” I said, smiling back. “Long time no see.”“Yeah, no kidding. It’s a huge relief to see you on your feet again.”I finished washing the mugs, and Jasper and I sat at the table to chat. It was the first time we’d had a conversation with just the two of us, but things weren’t awkward or stilted between us. Jasper could talk and talk like Tavi, but his ramblings were more chilled. He had a smooth voice, and it was nice to listen to.As he spoke to me, I tried to admire his lean, muscular frame, his soft, bronze hair, and his big, blue eyes. I knew I ought to be more attracted to him, but whenever I thought about getting closer to him or kissing him, my mind wandere

The sudden voice came from behind Night, and it startled us both. Jasper emerged from behind his Alpha. He wore a pair of dark gray slacks that looked tailor-made for his lithe form and a light blue button-down shirt. The top few buttons were undone to show a few inches of his tan chest. He looked hot, for sure, but he didn’t make me feel hot. He didn’t make moisture pool in my panties the way Night had with one look.Jasper took in my dress, cursing gently under his breath. “Amazing,” he said to me.He looked at Night to address him formally, but Night was already growling. Before I could react, he grabbed Jasper by the collar of his shirt and threw him off the porch. I gasped as Jasper caught himself on the ground like a cat. He stood up straight, sending a bewildered look from Night to me before bowing his head. Night stomped off the deck and stood over Jasper. His erect posture and broad shoulders made him look so damned commanding.Jasper stole another glance at me, his eyes fill

I had thought she would put up a fight—that she would yell at me for scaring Jasper off. I expected her to call me an asshole, the way she always did. I was ready to let her rip into me and get it all out of her system before I looked her in the eye and told her that she was mine, that she was always meant to be mine, and that I wanted her to stay with me. But I should have expected her to surprise me.She had come to me, her skirt lifting slightly in the cool breeze, making me harder than I’d ever known I could be in my jeans. She drew close to me, smelling delicious and warm and so, so perfect, and brought me down for a kiss.And the kiss was everything. The minute her lips touched mine, the breath left my lungs, my heart pounding loudly against the palm that she pressed there. Each beat was a single word—Mate. It echoed over and over in my head, through my blood, carried in every cell of my body. I pulled her against me, unwilling to let either of us breathe without the other.She

Night stopped, his eyes widening. He was probably remembering that he’d found me tied up and about to have everything stolen from me just a month before. Had it really only been a month? It felt like a lifetime to me.Night closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. His hands opened and closed as he regained control of himself. When he opened his eyes again, there was an apology in their depths.“I understand,” he said, his voice still so deep, so growly. “I’m sorry I didn’t take that into account.” He released a tight breath and ran a hand through his hair. “I won’t—”“No.” I cut him off, shaking my head. “I didn’t tell you that so you’d stop, Night. I just wanted to make sure that…” I hesitated, my face hot. “That I could take all of you.”Night paused for a few seconds, and then he laughed. When he looked at me again, his eyes had softened, and I gulped. I knew for sure that I was in love with him—that this was right even though it shouldn’t be.He slowly approached the side of t

I called his name again, and his answering groan was a muffled vibration against my core. My heartbeat had grown so loud, so powerful, and it beat at a galloping pace. I felt the pulse of it in every inch of my body; that persistent beat and my own gasping moans were the only sounds I could hear.I writhed beneath the heated insistence of his tongue. I felt like I might die from the pressure that continued to mount inside me long before I felt the release. How was he so good. How did he know exactly what to do to make me feel even more deeply, more intensely?Finally, when I thought I couldn’t take anymore, my pulse filling my ears over the sound of my panting breaths, the pressure spilled over. I clenched my legs tight around his head, my toes curling, back arching off the bed. Pleasure gushed from my core, and I screamed. The delicious, crackling climax crashed over me. Wave after wave of hot, wonderful bliss rippled across my body, leaving me tense, immobile, and covered in sweat.
