“This is why I don’t tell people…asshole.” The warriors had gotten back, but Ethan hung back. He had his hand folded over his chest as he watched me. “What did you leave me?” Rif ignored the insult, or maybe he expected it. “The newest upgrade. Free of charge.” “How fucking generous. Who said I am going to stay with your company now? It’s tainted now that someone is after you for it. Assuming they haven’t already gotten it!” Rif was scared. “No one has been attacked, and you denied me to chance to figure that out. You cut our friendship and re-broke my ribs.” There was a long pause. “As pissed off as I am right now, I am sorry I hurt you. I really didn’t mean to do that. Stella ripped my ass for that.” “Did you tell Stella?” I didn’t need to elaborate what I mean.“No. I gave Ethan and Vincent my word.” “Thank you.” There was a long pause. “Install the update, Rif. Enjoy Stella’s luna ceremony. I’m done talking to you.” I hung up without waiting for a response. Handing back Eth
“How can someone hate someone and love them at the same time?” I laughed before parking the golf cart next to the cabana. “It’s really a gift.” Callie started unloading the cart. “Don’t lift anything. Just take this beach blanket and go lay out. The other people should be here shortly.” “I can do something…” Callie managed to balance an umbrella and a few blankets to the spot that made her happy. Since I wanted sun, I laid the blanket out before sitting down. By the time I heard more voices, Callie had set up a volleyball court, seating area around a firepit, and a few blankets for people to sit. Since I didn’t want to be sitting down when everyone came, I stood up and walked over to Callie. A dozen or more people were walking down the sand. The boys were carrying a few baskets, and the girls were holding a few random things. The only thing I could make out were water floaties and towels. “Hey!” The first girl waved at us as they got closer. “I’m Riley!” She was shorter at 5’4ish
“Alpha! Luna! Do you want to play water polo?” Tracy asked. She was currently on Travis’s shoulders. “I’ll watch!” Ethan set me down, but kept me in front of him. With his arms around me, Damon came over to stand next to us.“So, what happened to not becoming a PDA couple?” He was laughing, so I used the opportunity to grab his head and dunk him under the water. Damon was caught off guard so I was able to hold it there for a few seconds before he pushed away and surfaced.“What was that? I missed it?” “OH! Point Luna!” Wade laughed. Ethan moved me off to the side. “I’ll take her place.” He had a smile on his face, but Damon looked excited. Everyone gathered around to watch. I wasn’t sure what was happening, but I was here for it. They circled each other for a moment before Damon made his move. He went high but Ethan easily defended that, pushing him under the water.However, Damon used it to his advantage and took Ethan’s legs out from under him. There was a battle going on under

“… My dad was super protective, so this was my first time out of his territory when I came here.”“She is a great dancer!” Callie chimed in. “However, she has quite the sarcastic tone to her.” Smiling at Callie, I just took another bite. “She is not a morning person.” Damon added as he set down a plate of food in front of Callie. Everyone laughed at that. “Come get your food.” Ethan yelled. Everyone got up and practically ran to the table. However, Damon set a plate of food in front of me, too. The hamburger looked amazing, but there were two different types of chips. “Not sure which one I liked?” I asked, looking up at Damon.“Nope.” “Luckily for you, Funyuns and BBQ chips are my top two favorite.” Grabbing one, I took a bite as he walked back to the table. “What is your favorite food?” Riley asked, as she sat down. She had gotten two burger patties on her cheeseburger. “Two? You can eat a double cheeseburger?”Riley’s face got red. “Yeah…”“Where do you put it? You are so tiny
Ethan slipped his hands under my thighs. Picking me up slightly so he could move me, so I was back on the chair. His body covered mine, yet he kept his weight off of me. “You better not scream unless you want everyone to hear you. They will know what we are doing, love.” Ethan didn’t give me a chance to respond before his hand pushed my bathing suit to the side. My eyes barely glanced down before he freed his dick from his shorts. As soon as our eyes met, his dick rammed into me, making my back arch. Ethan’s mouth absorbed my scream. Assaulting my tongue to keep me from crying out as he plunged deeper and harder into me. All thoughts about anyone else seeing us left my mind. All I could think about was Ethan and the pressure building up inside me. A small whimper escaped my mouth as I felt him release his load deep inside me. His whole body tensed on top of me.“Fuck…” He groaned as he came down from his high. His mouth finally left mine. Since I was able to finally breath, it too
“I think that would work, but you would need to schedule it for tomorrow. There is a stack of paperwork that Ethan needs to sign. We have a full day of work tomorrow we need to do. We put everything to the side to come here today.” Damon told Callie. “Yeah, I have so much I need to get caught up on.” I agreed. We needed to sign the restaurant paperwork. I needed to figure out what I was going to do with my money. So far, it is still in my account since I hadn’t completed the transfer. It had gotten started, but I never finished it. “Fine…” Callie rolled her eyes. “I’ll get it figured out tomorrow. I can use the day to organize for Grace’s luna ceremony. I got invitations sent out already.” “What a good beta.” Patting her on the head, she swatted away my hand. “I’ll bite you.” Raising my eyebrows, made a face. “I might like that…” “You will not!” Ethan’s alpha voice came up behind me. Hit sent shivers down my spine when he uses that voice on me. It wasn’t fear, but complete arousa
Callie put some gel in my hair to bring out the natural waves. The sundress she gave me really flaunted my chest. The orange and blue floral/wave pattern made my tan pop. The top looked more like a bathing suit with strings that wrapped around my back. There was a little hole under my chest before it flowed down to mid-shin. It was light and airy, but I had nothing on under it. Thankfully, my chest was secured from tightening the strings. Since we were on the sand, I opted for no shoes.Callie was wearing a light green dress that was completely opened in the back. It was tighter, showing off her figure. Courtney was completely covered in a thick strap white dress with pink flowers, but Riley was showing off all her skin in a short little sun dress. How the wind didn’t completely show off her ass, I’ll never understand. Still, she had perfect boobs to show off like that. By the time we headed back, all the boys had opted for different colors of board shorts with a variety of Hawaiian
“CHRISTIAN!” I yelled back. He laughed, as that was our thing. Ethan set me down when we got to the top. Christian instantly wrapped his arms around my legs. “I missed you! You are getting so tall!” “Hey, sis.” Vincent walked up to me with his arm out. With my belly, I could only do a side hug these days.“How is my little nephew doing?” Vincent shook Ethan’s hand. “Very happy where he is at.” Vincent has been a little of a recluse this last year. Finding out the truth, being a full-time day and looking for a beta has kept him from coming around as often. Fortuantly, everyone has sympathized with him. They have really accepted him into our friend’s group. However, Roxie and Zoey are on a kick to find him a mate. Vincent game me a smile and scooped Christian up. “Let’s go inside or we will miss the party.” Ethan held the door for us before quickly resuming his spot next to me. The moment we walked in, my breath was caught in my throat. It was just like I imagined it to be. A larg
1 year later“Grace! We got to go! Everyone is waiting for us!” Ethan was standing at our bedroom door. “I’m COMING!” I growled back. My swollen belly was ready to pop at any moment. Our little baby boy was loving kicking his mother in the lungs so much that he refused to leave. “I can only move so fast!” “You are the most beautiful pregnant person…ever.” Ethan smiled at me as I walked out of the bedroom. The stretchy black evening gown clung to my body, really making my stomach look much skinner than I felt. From the back, you would never know I was pregnant, which confused me. My belly was very round, like a ball. “This is all your fault.” Rolling my eyes at him, I couldn’t help the smile that spread across my face. Ethan walked over and gave me his arm. “Thank you.” “Just think…” Ethan patted my hand. “…. you get to do this many more times!” Looking up and glaring at him, “I will kick you in the nuts and end all of that.” Ethan laughed at me. I doubt anything would hurt his m
By the time we made it to the club, I had taken a few more shots, and the buzz was going. The club was bouncing. Music could be heard from outside. There was a line down the sidewalk and neon lights were flashing all around. This was the vibe that I was hoping for. “Ethan, I want to check on the computers. With everyone here, I haven’t actually got to see it yet and I want to check it.” I had to shout since the music was so loud and we weren’t even inside. “Grace, you are a little drunk….” Ethan raised his eyebrows at me. “Please? I’m not going to touch it. Just want to make sure it’s okay.” Grabbing his arm, I put on my most pathetic face I could.” “Fine…” Ethan rolled his eyes, but smirked. Wrapping his arm around me, he lead the way inside. “Callie, get everyone situated with drinks. We will catch up.” Ethan instantly lead me away to his office. It was more packed than I had ever seen it. Granted, I had only been here like three times, but this was packed. More than once, we g
“What do you have that is the best with crab?” Theresa thought for a moment. “Try the crab trio. There are three different ways crab is cooked. I think one is the crab alfrado, a mushroom stuffed crab and just steamed crab legs with a pepper, garlic butter to dip it in.” “That sounds perfect.” “Great. Would you like your legs already de-shelled?” “Yes, please.” I said right as the guys came back. “I’ll have a crab cake, please.” Jolene smiled at Theresa. Theresa returned the smile. “For you two?” She looked at them. “Seafood fried roll.” Ethan sighed and downed his drink. “I got another round coming.” She said instantly. Ethan nodded and put his arm back around me. “What did Vincent say?” I asked Ethan in the mind-link, so I didn’t hear what Nox, Stella or Rif ordered. “Well, turns out they were all people that went missing states away. None were from the same state, but they were all scholars in hacking or something cyber. Vincent thinks Zach or Derek had placed them there
Just as Ethan stood up, we arrived at the restaurant. I couldn’t help the sly smile that spread across my face before bitting my lower lip. “Let’s go,” Ethan said before clearing his throat. He gave me a little nudge to get off the bus. “Where are we?” I asked as I stepped off. Ethan was quick behind me, wrapping his arm around my waist. “This is one I have wanted to bring you to since I met you. It’s a very upscale seafood place. I know your favorite food is crab and I think they will have what you want here.” Ethan smiled down at me.“I love this place!” Callie squealed. “Their lobster is absolutely amazing!” “I’ve never been here!” Zoey grabbed Leo’s hand, and they started the train to the front doors. “We have a reservation. It’s under Boone.” Callie yelled from the back. By the time we walked in, the hostess walked off from the front. Zoey turned and smiled at us. I couldn’t help but look around. There was a massive sword fish mounted on the wall. The lighting was low, dark
After the house burnt down, we had to transport everyone back to their respected packs. However, all of our friends had to come back one last time to our pack and gather their belongings. Since they were already here, we had one last night together. Ethan set up a romanic evening that ended with everyone at the club for a night of dancing. All the girls were in my bedroom getting dressed. Callie had on a champain squence colored dress. It volumized her breast with a completely open back and only strings tolding it up. Her ass was about to hang out, but she looks amazing.Zoey had on a similar colored dress, but the top was more of a bra. Her stomach was open to a skirt that sinched at the side. Roxie was wearing a scarlett red dress. With long sleeves, the top was just enough fabric to cover her tits. It was an open stomach, but one side went down to a skirt that went to her calf. The other side had a slit that went to her hip, completely exposing her very toned legs. Stella was wea
Vincent turned and looked at us. “Let’s go home.” He whispered and walked past us. Christian was clinging to Vincent like his life depended on it. “Keep your eyes closed, bud.” He said as he walked out of the house. We all followed him. The battle was over and our warriors were collecting the dead. In the front was Derek’s body, Zach and Adaline. There was a rather large pile of men off to the side and a more respectible line of men that were ours. Leo was barking order with Damon, but Stella caught my attention. She was standing over Derek’s body with tears running down her face. Walking out of Ethan’s arms, I came up to Stella. She met my eyes before looking down again. “W-what happened?” I hesitated before speaking. I wasn’t sure how this was going to impact our friendship. Though it had already been rocky as it was. “Grace?” Rif walked up behind Stella. Putting a hand around his waist, he nodded. “Whatever it is, just tell us.” I knew I had everyone’s attention at this point.
Grabbing a lock of hair, I twisted it in my fingers. “You know Vincent, she used Derek’s weakness and let him believe for three years that he betrayed you.” Vincent’s hand wrapped around his neck. He squeezed hard enough to make her hurt but not enough to stop the breathing. “What should I do? Kill her or put her in my dungeon to years’ worth of torture?” “I’m sorry! I can turn my life around and be the mother that Christian deserves. I only ever wanted to be a mate to you.” She batted her eyelashes at Vincent. His grip tightened around her neck. “Nothing I do will be enough. It won’t be enough to vengue Derek, my dad or the years of head games you put on our son that I’ll have to fix.” Tighter, he squeezed until his hand started shaking. “I regret ever sleeping with you, ever touching you, or even meeting you. The only good thing in my life is Christian. I’m going to take your body and make a mockery of it. You will be an example of what it means to cross me. I’m more powerful than
Ethan, Vincent, and I just stared at her with our mouths hanging open. “Derek thought he betrayed Vincent. He did everything to keep Vincent out of danger and keep his kid safe and you were playing him.” My anger was rising as her words sank in. “You let Derek live with this weight on him for years.” Adaline shrugged. “Who is Derek to me?” She mirrored those words, knowing it was going to get under my skin. “Now, my child is an heir to not only the mafia family, but to a very powerful wolf pack and a blood relative to a very profitable security business.”“You never wanted me to create a program. All this was a lie to get the three of us here.” The truth came crashing down on me.Marco pointed his gun at me. “You are a very hard person to get ahold of. I told Zach to kidnap you by any means needed. He almost got you fucking killed. I’m happy you survived, but yes, however, Ethan was only part of it because he mated to you. I just wanted Vincent and you.” “Your dad was incredibly ann
