I smiled and nodded, plopping down on the seat. “C-can you tell me a-about yourself?”

Luna Katerina went back to the fridge and pulled out fruit, bacon, milk, and a couple other ingredients I didn’t see.

“What’s there to tell really? After I was swept away from Silver Mountain, I stayed at Red River in a house to myself for two years.”

“Not with Alpha Alan?”

She shot me a wry smile. “Not at first. He’d only managed to function without a Luna and he had his son. We dated and slowly he introduced me to his son until I was just a staple in the house.”

I nodded. “That’s s-sweet.”

Chuckling, she pulled out a pan and turned on the stove. It was weird watching someone else in the kitchen. Not that I’d gotten used to myself being in this kitchen. It had been about a week. Everything still felt new and weird. Somehow, Luna Katerina made it feel like a real home.

    “Our Father was cruel. To all of us. Less so to Caleb because he was next in line. Catherine also received a lesser amount due to her being next in line and her needing to be sold to an Alpha for a treaty. Emmett and I were back ups. We weren’t actually needed. Francesca saw our presence as an absolute affront to her position as Luna. Which she coveted above all else.” I moved a piece of pear around on the plate with my fork. “Em and I shared a cell that was made up into our room until we were five. We got kicked out of it when the pack was attacked and they brought back a ton of warriors to interrogate. We moved into Caleb’s room for about a year before the maids said it was too much work for them to be dealing with us as well. So, we were given the attic at around seven. It was terrible at first but slowly we made it our own. Fixed the bathroom and the floors. The roof also leaked and Caleb helped us fix that. We got mattresses for each other as a Middle School graduation gift. All

    The phone call disconnected and I looked at Katerina with a raised eyebrow. She slammed her phone down on the counter and took a long sip of coffee.“They can all settle down and wait. I swear.”I put my hands up. “Look, I’m not saying a little rebellion isn’t good for the soul. I’m all for it with my history, but I’m also…seventeen and I don’t have a mate…or pups…so…”“They just worry too much. They said I couldn’t have you on territory. It’s understandable and I know you wouldn’t necessarily feel comfortable doing that. So, I had asked to go Rockfest. Ethan said if I had four warriors with me I could.” Her nose wrinkled. “Like I can’t handle myself at a festival. I swear. His dad and I did a lot of fun things like concerts and stuff.”I smirked and grabbed another piece of bacon. “I’ve never been. We put on a mini

    After a few moment of silence, of her holding me like a mother and child, I took a deep breath and lifted my head.“So, we can put your clothes in now. Then did you want to go out? Do something? Head into the city? I went to the mall the other day. Three stories! Of shops! However in the world did someone think of that!”Katerina laughed and shook her head. “Sometimes…” She continued to laugh. “I wouldn’t mind a trip to the mall. I haven’t been in ages. Especially the crazy large one here. It’s a bit far and we have one closer to the pack.”I nodded. “Okay. Clothes in, and then I think I have a skirt you might fit in. We can safety pin it if it doesn’t.”-Walking around the mall with Katerina was a very different experience. Besides her tastes being wildly different from my own, she was more than happy to give her opinion on certain looks. It was fun; like when Steph an

    The music was loud as the wind whipped around us but Katerina didn’t seem to mind. In fact, a few of the songs she sang along with me. As much as it pained me to think about, I was pretty sure I got my musical side from my father. Poor Katerina could hold a tune. It tickled Raine to no end. Mostly because this she-wolf was the picture of grace and beauty with a dash of rebellious nature. She was almost too perfect. This made her a little more down to earth. I slowed the Thing down after a couple hours, knowing we were coming up to the territory border soon. “This was fun.” I looked at her. “If they allow you out again, I wouldn’t mind hanging out again.” Her smile was so bright it was almost blinding. “I would love that too, Sky” There was no wiping the grin off her face now. I slowed up to a stop at the same place I stopped last time I was here. A figure came out from behind the trees. It was easy to know who it was just by the ridiculous frown and slumped shoulders. “You said yo

    *** Ethan’s POV ***I sat at my desk, my phone up but dark. Dad said he would take the guys and bring the rogue Commander in along with Mom. This all had been blown way out of proportion. My hands itched to do something, anything. Dad got a text hours later that they were on their way but according to the Commander, it would take a few hours to get here. She could be lying or she could be anywhere within the state.Pulling out my sketchbook, I flipped opened to a new page and started to draw. At first it was nothing, shapes and items that I’d been staring at for the past hour in my office waiting to hear something back from my Dad. Then it morphed into her.The conversation, my very first conversation with my mate, did not go very well. At least, I didn’t think it did. She was seventeen. Seventeen and with enough strength and power to pull me into her dreams without her realizing it. That was absolutely absurd. Originally I though

    I blinked at my mom, before my eyes slid to my dad. His mouth was taut until he finally closed his eyes and sighed.“She’s…what?”“She’s my daughter, Ethan.”I turned to look at Kev only to find his eyes were as wide as saucers. He had grown up with her as my mom for as long as I had. His eyes slide to mine and he nodded, knowing what I was asking. She was telling the truth. Turning back to my mom, she had a continuous stream of tears falling down her cheeks.“Mom…you…you had a kid…”“Four actually. I have four kids back in Silver Mountain before I managed to escape.”I grabbed the chair nearest to me and fell into it. Placing my head in my hands, I tried wrapping my head around this information.“So one of your kids came to talk to you? After all these years?”I was surprised that my dad answered. “She didn’t actuall

    The door shut behind them and I leaned back in the seat, my head falling back to face the ceiling. My eyes side closed and o just felt myself slip into the silence that was now the packhouse.‘I’m surprised you didn’t say anything.’‘You don’t want me to. So I won’t.’I felt Niru sitting just on the fringes of my mind. It was almost like he was trying to be there for me without crowding me. Which was unusually kind of him considering his normal behavior.‘I just don’t need sass or snark right now.’He hummed. ‘How about a secondary observation?’I opened my eyes, looking up at the white ceiling. ‘Shoot.’‘Skylar is a Commander.’Snorting, I pushed up off the chair and headed into the kitchen. I opened the fridge and grabbed a

    “None of my business. I don’t handle individual mate bonds. I allow mates to do as they wish with the fated mates that the goddess feels would be a perfect match for them.” I kept my face passive as Roger tried to get himself under control.“Laura has been in love with you for many years, Alpha. She has been taught how to be a leader and a Luna. Her grace and kindness would match that of our current Luna.” I felt my eye twitch as he sung his daughter’s praises. “She’s selfless and very knowledgeable. Even the Alpha King praised her when we had the opportunity to meet him a few years back. He’s also been very interested in you providing for your pack.”I leaned forward, resting my chin on my intertwined hands. “So is that why she threatened to go to the Alpha King? To force him to make her my mate?”His eyes widened. “What?”“Oh? Did she not tell you that part of the

    I can't believe I'm actually here. We are at the end of Shift. Done. Complete. Marked and mated. ;)First off, thank you. All of you. Every single one who liked, who commented, who corrected my spelling, who didn't do anything but just read. Every single one of you have stuck with me and I can only hope that you guys enjoyed a peek into the lives of Sky, Ethan, Justin, Emmett, Kev, Sam, Kat, Caleb...and so many other characters. They are near and dear to my hearts and I honestly will say, closing this last chapter out was such a heartfelt moment for me.I could not have continued this without my regulars. You know who you are and I just want to say even when I felt down, I knew I had to keep going because I honestly didn't want to disappoint. As a lot of you know, I struggle with being sick a lot. So having my writing means so much to mean and having you guys be so patient during that time means the world to me. Especially when it feels like there is so much negativity on the internet.

    My lips crashed onto Sky’s and it was an entirely different feeling with the electricity of the mate bond. Niru was growling and howling incoherently in my head but at the same time, it all made sense. I wanted her, needed her. Needed everything that she would give me. The thing that surprised me the most was that I wanted to share her as well. Pulling away, I looked at Justin who was just about foaming at the mouth.“She tastes like orange citrus as well. Would you like to taste her lips?”Justin’s irises blew out and a shiver ran through his spine. He reached for her but it was a lot more gentle than I expected. He brushed her cheek and sucked a hair behind her ear before pressing his lips to hers. She molded up against his body and I stepped up behind her, brushing the hair out of her face.“Can you taste it? Taste the orange with the salt from the sea?”Justin hummed as he pulled back slowly taking her lip between his teeth for a moment before letting it go. I smirked, feeling how

    Justin chuckled. “You mean Fast Orange? Yeah, I smell it. Of course that’s what she would smell like. She uses that shit almost every day.”I smiled and I realized he was beaming too. This time we did follow our noses. She had been here but she wasn’t here anymore. We followed it back up the stairs as she wove through the art tents and through the throng of people that had amassed. I pushed through first, following just my instinct, Niru almost fully taking over.Justin was right behind me, never once straying or getting stuck behind someone else. I followed the orange scent and it started getting stronger. Like I had just stuck my nose in the bucket of the stuff she kept in the shop bathroom. The beach was relatively quiet since it was getting cooler as the sun was going down.Near the edge of the waves, just where it was lapping up onto the sand, Sky stood alone. Her large-brimmed woven sunhat was pushed back on her head and sunglasses were set around the top of it. She was wearing a

    There was a read receipt but she wasn’t replying. Not that I blamed her. Sky probably saw right through my charade. Justin looked over my shoulder at my phone. “Yeah, because that’s not over the top.” I growled at him but continued to stare at the screen. Finally, I held my breath when the three little dots appeared. Justin was the opposite, breathing heavy as he started at my phone as well. S: Well, it’s nice to be remembered today. Both Justin and I winced. Oh yeah, she was mad. ‘Who can blame her? I sure can’t.’ Niru added his two cents. Shaking my head, I typed up another message. Mate #1: I’m sorry, baby. Really. Come on, let’s celebrate together, yeah? We can go to your favorite place in the city, have a nice dinner or whatever you want. Justin snorted. “Way to lay it on thick.” “What else do you want me to do? We fucked up. She knows it. We know it. I’m not about to lose the chance to be with her on her birthday because of it. Are you?” That shut him up as we both

    *** Ethan’s POV *** My alarm went off and all I wanted to do was throw my phone at the wall. I’d gone to bed at three in the morning and I knew this alarm was for eight. My eyelids didn’t want to open and I turned over in bed, burying my face in my pillow. This had been the first time in three days I’d gotten to bed. It was a chore dragging myself up the stairs but I’d made it.Normally, I loved doing the work behind the scenes. The problem was is that the inspector with an entire tree trunk shoved up his ass decided that he was going to nitpick laws that weren’t even updated in this century. I would know because I fucking checked. Mr. Marrow had been out three times and each time we passed the first set of requirements but would find even more to throw our way.‘You need to be extra safe when it comes to our youth. You know, they are our future and the path to a better tomorrow.’ Niru copied his grating voice almost perfectly, before growling and snapping his jaw. ‘If I could just s

    *** Four Months Later *** My eyes peeled open and I reached out for my phone. The screen flashed four in the morning and I groaned. My hand fall back against the sheets and I laid there for another moment. However, it was Raine who started to bounce up and down in my head.‘Raine, come on.’‘But Sky, aren’t we doing to do the thing?’Her exuberance and happiness made a smile creep onto my face.‘Come on, Sky. If we go early, we can be there early!’‘Alright, alright! Fucking hell.’Throwing the blankets off of me, I got up and padded into the bathroom. Going pee and taking a quick shower, I woke up enough to feel somewhat alive. Coffee would get me the rest of the way there. The kitchen was quiet when I walked in and I still continued to thank the Goddess for it. It had been a month since everyone moved the hell out of my place. There was still work needing to be done in the apartments but I left that to the contractors and the guys themselves.For now, I would enjoy the simple peace

    I sat on the stairs of the porch, looking out over the back yard of the pack house. Everything was so quiet here. It was nice to take a break from the chaos that was now my home. At least for a few minutes. The wind blew and I tucked a stray hair behind my ear. Looking down at my phone, I stared at the messages that were there. E: Hey Sky, I feeling a little better today. Sam made some kind of soup. It was completely inedible. She had to order pizza. It reminded me of when you tried to cook that pasta dish and you somehow managed to burn the pasta. E: I went shopping online today. Got some more clothes. Bernard came by and cut my hair for me. That was nice. It was getting in my eyes. They won’t talk about you though. It’s like you don’t exist anymore and I hate it. E: Today was a bad day. I don’t know why. I just woke up and I threw up until there was nothing left in me. Sam tried to help but I felt disgusting. I’m reminded of what I did. What I had done. It’s like it comes back

    We headed down the road in Ethan’s truck. I was squished between Ethan and Justin in the center seat of the bench. Still, it felt nice as I rested my head on Justin’s shoulder and my fingers laced with Ethan’s. I’d need them to handle this trip.“I gave one of the new homes to Sam. Her and Emmett have been staying together.”“So she didn’t reject him?”Ethan squeezed my hand. “She didn’t. She hasn’t marked him but when she heard what you did, I think she thought it only right for her to give him a chance as well.”My heart lightened just a little, knowing that something good may actually come from all this pain. Ethan turned down the road that was brand new and I could see the new homes that were being built. There were three blocks of them that were already finished and he pulled into the driveway of one that was a block down. I scooted out of the middle and Justin helped me down from the truck.“Whatever you do, pretend like I’m not here.”Both Ethan and Justin gave me confused look

    I woke up screaming and my eyes flung open. Everything was hazy and I didn’t know where I was. All I could remember was the all consuming feeling of the darkness. How sticky my hands were from Emmett’s blood. The last sound that came from Marrok as I killed him. My heart sped up as I started to hyperventilate, as my stomach started to roll.“Hey! Sky! It’s okay. You’re okay. You’re safe.”A hand brushed my cheek but I flinched away from in.“Shit. Hold on. I’m pulling over.”I felt bile start to come up but I just coughed, forcing myself to not throw up. I hadn’t realized we were moving until the motion stopped completely. It helped a bit for my stomach but I still felt like I couldn’t breathe. Hands slipped under my arms and pulled me up from my laying down position. My head fell heavily against Ethan’s shoulder and arms held me tight.“You’re okay. I’ve got you. I’m right here.”That broke the damn. I started to cry as I grabbed onto the front of his shirt, balling it up between my
