Six: Aftermath Mykayla I slowly wake up and turn over in bed. All I can think is that the bed smells like Dustin. I start to drift back to sleep, but the bolt is awake. I realize I am not in my room, and this is not my bed. I am still determining where I am. Then it all comes back: THE FIRE! All the visions from the night before flooded back. I pull my knees to my chest, and I can feel the fear and anxiety returning. A small sob escapes, and that’s when I hear a voice. Suddenly, I feel the sparks shooting up my arm, and I turn to see Dustin standing in just a pair of pajama pants. His fingers are laced through mine. I am perplexed and can’t decide whether to cry or laugh. That’s when I remember. “Oh my god, Bree and Araya, where are they? I have to find them now.” I say as the panic starts to rise. I jump from the office bed to find them, but Dustin grabs me and wraps me in his arms. I instantly start to calm down and realize that I feel comfortable and safe with hi
Seven: Mate Mykayla I kept my distance from Dustin all day. I was telling the truth when I told his mom I was already looking for a new place for the three of us. I didn’t expect his cousin to tell us we could stay within the pack’s borders. I knew it would be the best place for the girls, but I couldn’t control my feelings. I have to keep this professional between us and push my feelings aside. The girls are my main focus. My happiness and personal life are not important now. I already knew where I stood with him after this morning when he left the room without saying anything. Lani and Natalya took the girls and me shopping for clothes and necessities. Thank god for my inheritance, or we would be so screwed right now. I also went and got a new phone. I had left my computer at work, so that was not lost in the fire. I was sitting on a lounge chair on the balcony outside Dustin’s room when a glass of water was in front of me. It made me jump. I didn’t even hear him come i
Eight: Morning Mykayla As I wake up, I realize I am very comfortable and feel safe for the first time in years. I try to stretch but realize I have a heavy arm draped over my waist and a hand resting under my breast. I freeze, and then the memories start flooding in from last night. I HAVE FUCKED UP BADLY! I SLEPT WITH MY BOSS AND TOLD HIM I WAS IN LOVE WITH HIM! My brain was screaming. Now not only was I going to have to look for a new place to live but also a new job. It’s my fault. I feel a hard wall of muscle move behind me, and the hand moves up, encasing my breast in his large hand. My breast is gently squeezed while I feel him kissing my neck. I involuntarily let out a soft moan. I can’t help it; his touch feels so good. “Good morning, beautiful.” He tells me his voice is still raw from sleeping. “Good morning,” I said shakily. He rolls me onto my back and leans upon his shoulder to look at me. I can’t look at him. I feel very embarrassed that I let this happ
Nine: Spy Unknown I have been watching the Pack now for two years. I thought about taking back what should be mine earlier, but I also know the Silver Moon Pack is the largest and strongest pack in the pacific northwest. I know they have absorbed two more miniature packs into them over the last five years since Alpha Dustin took over. They do not know I have been watching them and planning to reclaim what the pack stole all those years ago. It was stolen from my family when it was still under Alpha Dustin’s father’s leadership. I have slowly built up my followers to help me and have established a small loyal, pack-like following. I have my beta and gamma. None of us have found our mates yet. I am still trying to locate previous members of my pack, but most of them have stayed loyal to their new alphas which happens to be Alpha Dustin. I was sitting outside a restaurant when I saw Alpha Dustin, Beta Kaleb, and his Gamma Nate. I was surprised to see all three of them. All
Ten: Settled In Dustin It has been two months since the three of them moved here, and things have been great. Bree and Araya are starting school tomorrow. I know Mykayla was worried at first since the school is technically on the pack’s land. She worried because they might be the only humans there, but I assured her that was not the case. While on the pack’s land, the school is a mix of humans and werewolves. The faculty is both humans that know about werewolves and are werewolves. I know it puts her mind at ease to know this. She was sitting at her computer when I snuck my hand up under her shirt and started massaging her soft breasts. She tried to squirm out of my hold, but all I could do was laugh. “This is a first; usually, you push them into my hands more,” I say, laughing. “I am trying to finish some work, mister grabby hands.” She retorts irritatedly. I continue laughing and retract my hands from under her shirt. She finished what she was typing and stood up to fa
Eleven: School and Threats Part 1 Dustin This last week has been a huge learning curve. This was the week that Bree and Araya started school. When my alarm went off at six in the morning on Monday, I thought it was broken. I had reached for her to pull her back into bed, but I wasn’t quick enough as I felt Mykayla get out of bed and heard the door shut. I groaned and turned back over to go back to sleep, which I was almost back to sleep when I heard a scream that made me sit straight up. I quickly climbed out of bed and grabbed a pair of sweats as I ran out of the room. I swung the door to Bree’s room open to protect her from what or whoever was in there, only to find both girls standing in front of the full-length mirror squealing in excitement at their school uniforms. Mykayla just looks at me and raises one of her eyebrows. I scrubbed my hands over my face and walked out of the room. I walked into our walk-in closet picking out a suit to wear that day at work. I head t
Twelve: School and Threats Part 2 Mykayla Poor Dustin, I knew this week would be a trial for him, but I could tell he was not prepared for the first day. I swear I told him that I had set the alarm for six the night before, but maybe I did forget. I won’t say anything, but when he barged into Bree’s room because he thought someone was hurting them was adorable and sweet. After the first day, thankfully, he started to get the hang of it and got used to hearing the alarm go off an hour before the two of us needed to get up. Although, getting up earlier was still hard for him and sometimes he wouldn’t get up with us which the girls understood. My stress over sending the girls to a physical school calmed down after the third day, and by Friday, it all seemed so normal. The girls were always excited to go to school and just as excited to tell us about their day that night during dinner, and neither of them mentioned any one bullying them. I knew Dustin had asked his younger siblin
Thirteen: School and Threats Part 3 Dustin I wake up and roll over to pull my mate close to me, but all my hand finds is empty space and cold sheets. That wakes me up quickly causing me to sit up and can tell that she has been gone for a while. I get up and make my way to the bathroom. I look up and see something attached to the mirror. It's a note from Mykayla letting me know that she, Natalya, my mother, and the girls have gone shopping and will be back later. I smile and grab a quick shower. I make my way down to the game room and find Kaleb, Nate, Brighton, and Ashton down there. Kaleb and Ashton are playing a game of pool while Nate and Brighton are battling it out on an Xbox game. I sit down opposite Nate and watch the battle. I hear Ashton swear, which means Kaleb made a shot. He is ridiculously good at playing pool. I know it pisses Ashton off since he considers himself a master at the game. Kaleb can pull off some very amazing trick shots. “Can I get in this on
