What's Weston got up his sleeve for the date?? Will Cadence ruin it with her big mouth?
~Lenox’s Point of View~ Fuck this girl has no clue what she does to me! She gets me all revved up, hot and bothered with just a look, just her smug as hell face. Females never have that level of confidence around me. Cade didn’t give a shit what was in my bank account, what I drove or what I bought her. So what the hell would I do for our date? I had no idea and only a day to figure it out. I was actually half tempted to ask my mom for advice, which was really out of character for me. But Cade was hardly someone I could impress with flashy shit, and that’s how my mom was too. Cade wasn’t simple though, she wouldn’t be happy with a stroll in the woods while I pick her flowers. I didn’t know much about what Weston was doing, only that he’d put a ton of thought into it, he was consumed. He said this was his first impression, his real one. He wanted to try and hit a reset button with her, whereas all I wanted to do was grease her wheels. I wanted to push her to the brink of insanity u
~Cadence’s Point of View~ After the weird ass phone call this morning I got my head back in the game and had a chat with Valerie. She was so into the idea of being auctioned now she was pulling out all the stops. She had us booked with hair and make-up Saturday afternoon but said I would be calling the shots and telling them what to do. She had us booked tomorrow to visit a boutique and get gowns, shoes, etc. I was of course going to offer to pay but I was more than certain anything she was picking out was out of my price range. I was absolutely not willing to max out my credit card for this shindig. All in all, I was in good spirits. I was trying to keep an open mind about my date with Weston, especially since he was clearly the lesser of the two evils. *Well it doesn’t hurt that we had an amazing night’s sleep, nestled with our mates where we belong, where we should have been every night for the past few nights,* Fanny huffed. I couldn’t in any way deny that I had, in fact, had
~Weston’s Point of View~ When Cade first put her hands on me in the car I honestly wasn’t totally sure if she was hitting me or what. But when she nearly devoured me like a praying mantis my body just fucking reacted like I’d never felt. It was pure electricity and I’d never felt more alive. My hot as hell mate groped me like her life depended on my touch, my lips on her… hell I nearly came in my pants when she moaned, her body slightly vibrating with need. I can’t even begin to imagine what the real thing will be like, but if all goes well tonight I’ll at least get a taste. Fuck I’m a junkie needing a Cadence fix. *Hell yeah! We need more of that! More, more and more, all night,* Everett begged. This was the first time she really showed a physical interest in me, and I begged the goddess to let her good mood continue. Give us this night care-free and perfect. Let Cade just be herself, no pressure, no stress. Just us and the fresh ocean air. I was pulling out all the stops, being
~Cadence’s Point of View~ Fucking hell. Not only was Weston getting me to open up and be the carefree girl I rarely let out, he was getting to me… to my heart. Just a couple hours and he’d managed to change my view of him, would it revert back once Lenox was around? I just didn’t know. Hell MY MOOD might likely revert back when Lenox is around. But seeing him with that pup, and how the mom looked at him … it was too much. Seeing how much pride was in her eyes, the fulfillment that she got out of Weston taking two minutes out of his day to address her, and help her child… I knew without a doubt both Vivian and her daughter would remember that moment, tell everyone about it. Fanny was losing her shit, demanding I tell the female I was their Luna and happy to help. That she know her Luna was a good she-wolf and proud of her mate’s dedication to the pack. I had no idea who her mate was or what he was doing though, and I didn’t want to seem insincere. Weston also just looked so… natural
~Weston’s Point of View~ Goddess please let this all be real, permanently real. Cade had shown me so much of herself tonight, she let herself be vulnerable. Something I didn’t think would happen but it was, and it was more than I could have ever imagined. I didn't chase women, I never had to. They offered themselves up to me and I decided if they were worth it or not but this one I wanted nothing more than to trap underneath me and hold forever. When we met her I thought my days of chasing tail were long over. But she made us chase her, and I feel … I feel like I caught her. But could Lenox? Fucking Lenox. I tried not to waste brain power on him tonight. Not while we ran around each other in the low surf and flicked water at each other. Not even when she fell and then faked being hurt so she could pull me down with her. If Lenox fucked up all the progress I made with her, I may just have to kill him. I’d had my best pal Chase, and future Beta, put one of my high end cameras in the
~Cadence’s Point of View~ Okay so this last week of school was not going so great. I wasn’t sure if Weston had planned for us to sleep at the beach but we did anyway, and I missed the start of my class. Even when he dropped me off we ended up making out in his car for about twenty minutes and I definitely wasn’t getting even the end of it. The orbit he had around him just kept pulling me in and it was making me insane. I hurried up and got showered then hightailed it to the professor’s office. He gave me a look of disapproval but since I never usually missed and I had the almighty Cade powers of persuasion, he gave me a brief five minute overview of what I missed and a study guide for his final. One mess avoided. I hadn’t even looked at my phone since early yesterday afternoon and I threw myself on my couch to check it out. A missed call from that other relative of Lenox’s with a voicemail. A missed call from mom. Texts from Valerie and Hailey. Val: Still on for noon? I’m so excit
~Cadence’s Point of View~ Unknown number: Hey this is Weston, I really couldn’t remember if you had my number. Just wanted to say I missed you, and thank you again for last night. I swear I can still feel you like you’re in my arms :) I wanted to scowl at the message but my heart fluttered. Could he be any sweeter? Shit… and maybe since my shirt from last night reeked of him it was currently laid out on my pillow. I bit my lip, and contemplated running in to sniff it. I could close my eyes and remember the feel of him jerking with his release into my throat. I could feel his warmth coating my mouth, the way his eyes looked at me like I was his goddess. The way his arms felt holding me after, like I was so precious and delicate. No one ever made me feel that … important and valuable. But what I remembered most was the strength I felt having that power over him. The power of holding his release under my discretion, a soon to be Alpha, completely at my mercy. I could have asked him fo
~Cadence’s Point of View~ Last night was one of the longest damn nights of my life. Even throwing back seven beers didn’t get me drunk enough to forget the visuals of my “mates” swimming around in my mind. Their lips on me, their naked bodies. Fanny damn near killed me with all the flashes she put in our head. I texted Weston a couple times so he didn’t think I was blowing him off, and of course he sent me a couple of my pictures, wanting to brag on how good they looked. I hated to admit it, but I did love them. I normally hated having my picture taken, but in that moment … post two of the best orgasms of my life and knowing I was about to go down on him … yeah I was feeling good and my face showed it. I finally played with myself until I passed out from exhaustion. I had a dream about waking up with Weston between my legs, getting me half-way there with his amazing tongue before ramming into me with his big, beautiful cock. Hmm… BEEP BEEP BEEP I rolled over and smacked the alar
~Epilogue Two~ ~Cadence’s Point of View~ ~One Year Later~ “Andrew! Get that out of your mouth,” I snapped, as I grabbed a giant spicy beef stick from my baby. “Who left this out where he could reach it,” I shouted, to no one in particular. Of course no one paid me any attention. I watched as my little adventurer continued to walk on his wobbly, chubby little legs around the rec room of the packhouse. Various people stopped to coo at him or ruffle his hair. He absolutely had Lenox’s sense of fearless adventure, but Weston’s sweetness. His favorite thing to do was rub people, maybe he had texture issues but I found it endearing. I could lay him next to me at naptime and he’d fall asleep rubbing my arm, those were my favorite moments. Andrew didn’t look a thing like me, he was all Keller … which literally EVERYONE pointed out, EVERY single day. I hoped Emily would fix that seeing as I was the one who did all the baby baking and turned into a human cow. I sighed with awe as I looke
~Epilogue One~ ~Brianne’s Point of View~ ~About Five Months Later~ “No, and don’t say anything else I mean it,” Lenox snapped. I made a face and it took all my restraint not to flip him off. Alpha or not, he’s my brother and if I need to flip him off I shall! I rolled my eyes as he stormed off. Tomorrow was a full moon, the second to last before my birthday. They usually took Chase away from me two days before and two days after the full moon. Last month I could hear his screams and cries carry in the wind all the way from the jail and it broke me. We just can’t go on like this. All I do is pray to the goddess that my wolf will come early but so far nothing. Cade is also due with her baby any day now, she’s having a little boy. My brothers were a bit disappointed she wasn’t having twins but of course the pigs they are … they just turned into being excited about trying again. I was desperate to see Chase but ever since coming clean to the pack it’s been impossible to sneak a lot
~Chase’s Point of View~ ~About Seven Months Later~ *Fuck it’s cold out here,* I whined to my wolf, wishing I had worn a real coat. Even shifters get cold, in their human form. It didn’t really matter, we’d all be on a run soon I just had to suck it up. *Won’t be long,* he just said, sitting anxiously. The full moon was in two nights, and last month was the first time I had to restrain my wolf, it was awful and I knew he’d only get more aggressive. Thankfully since we rarely use our jail no one noticed me in there. Talking to Gray and keeping him calm on my own wasn’t working anymore even though he understood, our human rules didn’t mean shit to him. A pup has to have their shift, their human side and their wolf side both have to agree to pick their mate. Brianne and I decided we couldn’t put off telling her brothers any longer. I’d need help with Gray anyhow, he’d be more than I could handle. Admitting I couldn’t protect my mate was a damn hard pill to swallow. The fact that I was
~Cadence’s Point of View~ I pulled an all nighter to finish my last paper as a college student. I felt groggy and annoyed, having a few beers and sleeping for two days sounded perfect. But since my mates were also done with their finals week, all they wanted to do was show me our house. Our house. The thought made a smile creep across my face as I grabbed the tape and sealed up another box. I couldn’t believe how amazing Weston’s ideas were, and how much style sense Lenox actually had. If the house looked as good in person as it did on Weston’s app it would be freaking awesome. Of course right now they were just framing, it would still be a couple weeks until we could move in, which was a bit unnerving. We hadn’t really discussed living arrangements in the meantime. Certainly a newly mated couple didn’t want to live with parental figures under the same roof. I jerked my neck as my apartment door opened, I couldn’t believe I hadn’t locked it. Although most of the student body was a
~Brianne’s Point of View~ I told Chase to get me a copy of the university paper within an hour of it getting released. I surmised that he sent someone, because even though it was something for me he still deemed it beneath him. It was so hot when he delegated authority though, and he would be Beta very … very soon. Even if I had to smack Cade around a bit so she’d get it together. Chase needed this so bad and since we couldn’t mate yet, it was the perfect distraction to get him through the next year. Sure enough a guy barely a year older than me approached me in the rec room a while later. I snatched the paper from him with a smile and ran by the kitchen, scooping up a giant cinnamon bun and fork on my way to my bedroom then shut the door. Weston had called me last night to dish the dirt and I barely slept. I was beside myself with anticipation. I couldn’t imagine how they felt. I was going to call them after I read it. I unrolled it to see the headline, huge and in bold: WORTH T
~Cadence’s Point of View~ I handed in my second exam of the day and walked with a pep in my step. I knew I had aced both tests, without a doubt and was damn grateful I had such a good memory. Especially since I hadn’t studied at all. I glanced at my phone … about two hours until Alec released the graduation edition of the school paper. Tomorrow the Howler would have their own article, and then … I just wasn’t sure. I also hadn’t yet heard how it went when Gertrude was locked out of her office this morning, I should have gotten someone to film it. Apparently Alec found all kinds of shit on her computer, she was also stealing from petty cash, getting unauthorized lunches and charging them to the department. I mean … is anyone even honest these days? Crazy! Nadine in the registrar’s office came through with flying colors and in a way that no one would ever know it was her … or me that took down Stacey. Turns out the little twat was awfully busy, finding lucrative ways to make extra c
~Weston’s Point of View~ “I can’t wait to see what we have,” I said, as I lazily ran a finger over my mate’s soft back. She was groggy but we all were. We woke up sometime around three am and went at it again, this time I had quite a solo bout with Cade, and even half asleep it was un-fucking-believable. I knew without a doubt she was made for me, I already craved her. “Hmm? Have for what? Breakfast? Are you cooking, I’m beyond famished, I think I lost ten pounds last night,” she said, barely holding her head up. “Have for a pup, silly girl. We’ll see if all the wives tales about being mated to twins are true. There are three sets of twins in our family that share a mate but only one had their first born as twins,” I said, licking my lips. She abruptly sat up, gathering the sheet and covering herself. She gave a dry laugh and wandered to the bathroom without a word. “Shit dude, could have given it a while didn’t have to bring it up day one,” Lenox said, getting up. I rubbed my
~Cadence’s Point of View~ I certainly had a preconceived notion of what to expect from Lenox in bed, especially based on his little hot as sin performance last night. But none of that was happening. Maybe he was being gentle because it was our first time, maybe because they would mark me tonight. We were all more than aware that no one here was a perfect little virgin. Either way, he was showing me how he felt. Showing me so much of himself without speaking a single word. Completely unlike him, but my body was returning it. Even with the more tender nature it was clear he was still in control. He was setting the pace, he was moving my body how he wanted. And getting from it … what he wanted. There was no dirty talk once Lenox was inside me, we certainly didn’t need it. It was all overwhelming enough on its own. Weston was right by side, giving me kisses here and there, even holding my hand. But he was letting Lenox and I truly have this moment. Lenox kissed me deep as he rocked
~Cadence’s Point of View~ I sighed with complete exhaustion as Chase led Fanny up the path to the Keller’s house. I was so damn exhausted all I wanted was a bed, but even a couch would do. However, I knew without a shadow of a doubt the guys only had one thing on their minds. The sex deprieved part of my brain was all in, ready for whatever was about to go down. The realistic part said we should do this tomorrow. I still couldn’t even wrap my brain around the last twenty-four hours, that literally all this crap happened in the span of a day. As we walked Fanny caught the scent of the twins and sped up, beyond desperate to see them while she was shifted. I could hardly begrudge her that. At that point the house came into view and Chase slowed down. Fanny absolutely had the time of her life tonight, made a ton of new friends and had no problems whatsoever fitting in. But for wolves, it’s pretty damn easy. What’s there to fight over, squirrells? *Hey! I don’t demean your precious li
