Mine.

My hold on Cora tightened as I snarled at him. She didn’t belong to him, she was mine.

My mate.

Only mine.

But doubt started to fill me when his head lowered and he rubbed his snout along her cheek. A deep purr rumbled from his chest.

Cora’s low whimper pulled me out of my shock.

Growling, I gripped him by the scruff of his neck and jerked him off us. He instantly got to his feet and shook out his fur. My warning growl had him freezing, but not before letting out one of his own.

Sitting up, I turned my attention towards Cora.

She was pale and shaking slightly.

I moved the strands of hair from her face and gripped her chin to turn her attention towards me. Wide jade eyes blinked up at me. She was scared, but she was trying her best not to show it.

“K-Keiran?”

“Are you injured?” I asked her softly.

She hesitated too long before she shook her head.

My eyes dropped, darting over her and then lingering on the hand she was favouring. It was the same wrist she had injured t

    The doctor at Alpha Rowan’s pack never treated me when I got sick or injured. He claimed that he knew nothing about human illnesses and that I was not important enough for him to learn about them. Whenever I got injured, Mom would treat my wounds. And whenever I got sick, they had to take me to town to see a human doctor. But the doctor sitting in front of me, examining my wrist was nothing like the other doctors I had been to. She was gentle as she touched parts of my skin and put me at ease by asking me numerous questions. “Not broken,” she muttered as she lowered my arm to my lap. “But you’ve made the sprain worse.” Her eyes darted over to Keiran who stood leaning against the wall. “I gave you orders and I expect them to be followed, alpha.”“It won’t happen again, Olive.”“Better not,” she muttered as she stood. “I’ll see if I can find you a brace to wear to limit movement. You also need to try to keep weight off of it otherwise you’ll risk another re-injury.”“Thank you.” Oliv

    School. My stomach twisted with nausea as I made my way down the stairs a week later. The doctor had given me the all-clear to go to school much to my disappointment. When I entered the kitchen it was to find only Keiran sitting at the table. My eyes darted around, taking in the various dishes. “I wasn’t sure what you like,” he muttered, standing.“You cooked?” I breathed, wide-eyed. He raised an eyebrow. “Yes, you didn’t think I could?”“No,” I told him honestly. “Dad couldn’t cook. It was always me or Mom that cooked for him.”Keiran pulled a chair out for me and then took a seat again. Placing a plate down in front of me, he gestured to the other plates. “Help yourself.”“Thank you.”I grabbed a slice of toast and took a small bite. I was too nervous to actually eat. But he went through all the trouble to cook and I wanted to show him that I appreciated it. “It’s important for a male to know how to take care of his mate which includes cooking.” He took a bite of bacon and slo

    “Your brother adopted a human.”“I heard,” I muttered absentmindedly as I glanced around. “Have you met her?” Dale questioned. “No,” I lied. He already knew the answer. The whole fucking pack knew about it. Those who didn’t see it happen, already heard about it. My mate was the new human my brother adopted. Olivia’s daughter. I clenched my teeth and ran a shaky hand through my hair. My head ached, my body was sore and my wolf was still agitated. We hadn’t seen our mate in a week. Until this morning. She had run from me the moment she realized who she had run into, and I hadn’t seen her since. I was dying to get another whiff of her. But Keiran had warned me to keep my distance. I thought that with my heat over, he would allow me to seek her out. She belonged to me. And apparently to him. As well as Axel. I growled, gripping the table tightly. My claws dug into the wood which made people turn to look at me. I sneered at them, instantly making them hurry away. “What the

    AXEL Hunger was gnawing at my stomach. It made it impossible for me to sleep even though my body and brain were beyond tired. I needed sleep. The fact that her scent filled nearly every room in the house was making it harder to resist. I had heard about this thing only once before and it had ended in disaster. Cora was a temptation being dangled in front of my nose and it was getting harder to resist. Giving up on trying to get some sleep, I got out of bed and entered the bathroom. My eyes locked on my reflection in the mirror, making me pause. Red was bleeding into the edges of my pupil, a sure sign of hunger. It was the reason I had been mostly avoiding my brothers and the little human. I didn’t want to scare her and I didn’t want to give them anything to worry about. They already had enough on their plate. Keiran was still trying to figure out why Cora got three mates after being rejected by that bastard and why Rowan hadn't spoken a word about Cora until Lucas showed up th

    He had to be kidding.A smile was playing around his lips, but his eyes were serious as they stared into mine.“Me?” I repeated dumbly.Axel’s smile widened a few notches. “You.”“Two,” I whispered.I had gone from being rejected by one mate to suddenly having two mates. Frowning, I grabbed the book and scanned the contents inside.“You won’t find anything inside that book,” he muttered as he leaned back in the chair. “Keiran is trying to figure everything out.”“It’s never happened before?” I questioned.“Not that we are aware of.”Axel hesitated a moment before he stood. “Stay,” he ordered softly.A gasp fell from my lips when he suddenly disappeared into thin air. He was gone for only a few seconds before he reappeared again with a few books in his hand.“How do you do that?”His eyes darted over my face. “I use the shadows to move from one place to another. It makes traveling easier.”“Can you change into a bat?” My eyes trailed over his body.It made me take notice of what he was

    I was struggling to breathe. No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t suck enough air into my lungs.Twigs snapped under my feet and scratched my skin. There was a low growl from somewhere behind me. It was getting closer. I needed to run. Needed to get away from it. I glanced over my shoulder which was a mistake. My foot caught on something, sending me flying through the air and then hitting the ground. I cried out when I hit the ground. Rolling onto my back, I blinked up at the canopy of leaves high above me. “Run, Cora!”Mom’s voice had me rolling onto my stomach and pushing myself to my feet. My legs shook so badly that I could barely stay on my feet.“Run, baby!”Run. Run. Run. The monsters were coming. I hadn’t seen him. But Mom had. She told me to run as soon as she saw him. He hurt Dad. Tears burned my eyes. He was hurt. Hurt so badly. There was a lot of blood on the floor. Without realizing it, I had slowed down. It was a mistake. The monster snarled, and then he was

    Cora twitched but she didn’t wake up. There was a damp spot on my shirt from her drool. She gripped my shirt tighter as she rubbed her cheek against my shirt. I held my breath and waited. She didn’t wake up from another nightmare but something in her dreams was troubling her. Just as I blew out a slow breath, Cora stirred again, digging her knee into my crotch. I winced and reached down to grip her knee so I could pull her leg higher up. The last thing I needed was to be kneed in the balls when she jerked awake. Ryder sighed behind Cora. “It’s raining.” “Where were you planning on taking her?” I asked him. “The waterfall.” I frowned up at the ceiling. “How were you planning on getting there?” “The bikes.” “Cora can’t drive a car, Ryder. What makes you think she can drive a dirt bike?” He remained silent long enough for me to realize that he hadn’t thought things through. I had no problem with Ryder pursuing his relationship with Cora. After all the shit he had been

    Werewolf anatomy. Female: A female’s werewolf anatomy is the same as a female’s human anatomy, BUT and I put emphasis on the but. Although they look the same, some body parts function differently. A female has the ability to control her ovaries which means that she has the ability to choose when she gets pregnant.My eyes snapped up. “Can your females really do that? Control when they get pregnant?”Keiran’s eyes flashed black for a second before it turned back to normal. “Yes,” he growled. “It’s a blessing and a curse.”I glanced over at Axel lounging on the couch with a book. He looked completely focused on what he was reading, but I knew he could probably hear us. Ryder stood by the sink, washing the dishes. I had offered to help him but he had declined my help. Keiran had then suggested that we get started with my homework. I leaned closer to Keiran. “I can’t do that,” I whispered. “I know.” Keiran smiled at me. “Which is why there won’t be any sex until you’re ready. And when

    I was hot, sweaty, and sticky between my legs. My body ached. Everything hurt from my arms down to my legs. It felt like I had been exercising nonstop. Groaning, I turned around and rolled straight into another body. Warm sweaty skin brushed mine. I sucked in a breath and winced at the scent that filled my nostrils. Our scents were combined and it was my new favourite smell. Except I didn’t care much for the lingering scent of sex that filled the room. A low groan made my stomach clench. There was a rustle of sheets as the body next to mine moved. I forced my tired eyes open and blinked a few times to clear my blurry vision. The bed dipped behind me and a second later, someone gripped my hip. I turned my head and frowned at the man hovering above me. Axel smiled as he leaned over me. Biting my lip, I slowly turned onto my back. “Hey, sweetling. How are you feeling?”I swallowed a few times before I answered him. “Tired and dirty,” I croaked. His smile widened. “I ran you a

    My beast wanted out. He couldn’t understand why we were downstairs dealing with them when we should be upstairs next to our mate who needed us. All he cared about was her and not the danger she was currently in. We needed to protect her. We needed to make sure that we were going to be safe when her full heat hit. I studied Xan with my brows dipped into a frown. We were the only ones who had seen Cora shift. Nobody else knew about it. Yet, somehow he knew about her. “How do you know about Cora?” Ryder asked the question before I could. Xan shifted in his chair but his focus was on Axel. I frowned at my brother. It would be easy for him to get the answers we needed. I hated how it was done, but it was effective. “She called to me,” Xan said softly. “Don’t look at me like that. I’m not crazy. She called to you the same way she called to me. You found her, didn’t you?”Dread flooded me. “Is…” I sucked in a breath and blew it out. “Is she your mate?”His eyes darted between the three

    I fucked up…again. There was nothing worse than finding out that your mate was almost attacked by a rogue in our own territory and that it had been well-planned. Cora’s safety had been moved to the top of the list. There was no doubt that Dean was behind everything, but we needed evidence and that was something we didn’t have enough of. A sigh fell from my lips. Leaning forward, I picked up the tablet and studied the pictures Lucas had sent an hour ago. The council could easily dismiss it. I tensed when a scent filled my nostrils. A moment later, Keiran rounded the corner and froze when our eyes locked. Pursing his lips, he walked over to the fridge and grabbed water.As discreetly as possible, I sucked in another breath. Unfortunately, it didn’t go unnoticed by Keiran. Walking to the other side of the table, he pulled a chair out and took a seat. The tension rose the longer the silence stretched between us. Keiran suddenly tilted his head to the side.My eyes instantly locked

    Keiran pulled back and then pushed forward again, entering me a few inches more with every thrust. The pain disappeared with every movement, leaving pleasure in its place. He paused when he was fully inside me. Lowering more of his weight on top of me, he slipped his hands into my hair and lowered his lips to mine. For a moment I stayed unmoving, unsure of what to do. But then I stopped thinking about doing it wrong and followed my instincts. I wrapped my legs around his hips as high I could and dug my heels into his beefy ass. My hands slipped over his shoulders and down his back.Keiran groaned, back arching when I scraped my nails against his skin. Breaking the kiss, he pressed his lips to the corner of my mouth and then raised his head to look at me. He pulled his hips back and thrust forward. “Oh.” “Still hurt?” he questioned.I shook my head, unable to utter a word. The pain was gone and in its place, there was only pleasure. The air locked in my throat when Keiran start

    I expected pain.The pain I felt when that metal closed around my leg was still branded in my mind. It wasn’t something I was easily going to forget. The pain and the sight of bone sticking through the skin. But there was no pain when I turned onto my back. I hesitated a moment and then slowly moved my foot. There were no sharp pains shooting up my legs.Swallowing, I sat up and threw the sheets aside. My eyes locked on my leg. It was almost like it never happened. If the memories in my head weren’t as clear as day, I would’ve thought it had all been a nightmare. It would definitely explain why Kelsey fought the rogue. I was sure that if it happened, she would’ve chosen to run away instead of staying to protect me.Shaking the thoughts away, I finally focused on my surroundings. The bedroom was familiar and so was the scent that clung to me and the sheets. Keiran’s bathroom was right across the bed. He didn’t bother closing the door when he started the shower. I listened to the

    Adrenaline still ran through me. I was shaking and fighting to keep myself in control. Swallowing, I focused my attention on Cora’s leg. “Broken bone,” the cat muttered. “We need to reset it before she starts healing.”He raised his head to look at me. My eyes narrowed but the guy didn’t even flinch when I hissed at him. “Go check on her,” I ordered, nodding towards Kelsey. The cat didn’t move. He gripped Cora’s legs, hesitated a second, and then set the bone. A pained sound fell from her lips, but she didn’t wake up. “Now feed her some of your blood,” he said softly. His eyes caught mine as he stood and moved over to Kelsey. I made sure that my body hid what I was doing. Slicing my palm with a claw, I held my hand over Cora’s leg and let my blood drip onto the wound. When I stopped bleeding, I rubbed the blood into her wound. Cora whimpered. I have her, I told Keiran. How many rogues?One. I slipped my arms under Cora and pulled her to my chest. He’s dead. “Hey sweetling

    The fresh air felt good. My eyes darted around, taking everything in. Sun rays peeked through the thick leaves of the tree, warming some parts of my skin as I walked. At some point, I spotted a family of rabbits. Curiosity made me follow them until they suddenly disappeared. Letting out a sigh, I stopped and tilted my head back to stare at the canopy of leaves. I couldn’t hear any birds singing which was strange. I glanced around again and spotted a footpath. After hesitating for a few seconds, I headed in that direction. Twigs snapped underneath my feet as I walked. It was the only sound aside from my breathing. The path ended at a clearing. Four big rocks were in the middle, leaning against each other. They were surrounded by green grass with some yellow flowers here and there. Sucking in a deep breath, I carefully made my way over to the rocks. I studied every inch of it to make sure that there weren’t any spiders or other bugs lingering about. Once I was sure that there were

    My eyelids were heavy but I forced them open. I blinked at the unfamiliar ceiling until the memories of last night returned. I had fallen asleep on Keiran’s lap and he had carried me to bed sometime later. Turning onto my side, I reached for my phone on the nightstand and frowned when my fingers brushed nothing. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and pushed myself up onto an elbow to search for my phone. Realization slowly dawned on me. I wasn’t in my bedroom. A glance over my shoulder revealed Keiran fast asleep in the bed next to me. My heart started beating faster as I turned around to face him. He was asleep on his stomach, his face turned away from me, and one arm underneath his pillow. My eyes darted over him and locked on the dark birthmark on his shoulder blade. Reaching up, I traced the mark with my fingertips. Keiran stirred. I jerked my hand away and clutched it to my chest. Licking my lips, I waited for him to wake up, but he didn’t. Scooting closer, I leaned up on

    Ryder never returned home and when I asked Keiran about it, he told me that he was probably staying at the pack house. I understood that he probably needed space, but I was hoping to talk to him so we could clear things up. His reaction towards Axel and what we did confused me. He was the one who bought boxes of condoms. Was he expecting me to only have sex with him? Letting out a sigh, I rolled onto my back and stared up at the ceiling. I reached out blindly to grab my phone from the nightstand. Keiran had surprised me when he gave it to me the other day. I wasn’t bothered about not having a phone. There was nobody for me to call since my parents were dead and I had no friends. Except for Blue. And I had my mates now. Keiran had already saved their numbers for me. He even added Blue’s number. I blinked rapidly at the sudden glare of the screen. Once I turned the brightness down a little, I pulled up Ryder’s number. My fingers hovered over the keyboard. In the end, I settled f
