“Oh, and when she gives you the whole ‘virgin’ routine,” the annoyance by my side continued, smiling widely. “Just roll with it? You do not want to know how many times that girl’s been a born-again-virgin.”
She laughed. Her laughter was pure and enjoyable, yet it sent a shiver down my spine. And not of the good kind…
“What did you say?” I growled as my wolf was coming through a lot more than I intended him to. The sound made the girl jump slightly.
“Oh, gosh, I’m-I’m so sorry,” she stuttered, seemingly afraid. Yet her heart rate quickly normalized, making a lot of red flags fly up. “I-I didn’t think that…! I’m sorry, it’s just that she’s so blunt and front about it herself, I don’t think she minds. I mean her nickname is Lesley Fuck’s-A-Lot, and she came up with it. It’s-it’s no secret. At least not here.”
Finally, she took a step back, but it was already too late. My wolf had alread

Lesley’s POV“Wake up!”“I’m awake!” I exclaimed, jolting to alertness. For a confused second, I had no idea where I was, until I turned to see my mate standing only inches away from my face. His scowl had me cringing in my seat and I wanted to scoot away. He looked pissed! But then again, he’d looked like that since he picked me up.Wonder why!(Hint: sarcasm!)“Oh?” He snorted, arching an eyebrow.“Hey, I’m still in high school!” I quickly defended myself, stretching my legs which were fast asleep from my curled-up sleeping position. “It’s a reflex!”“We’re here,” he sighed and stepped aside so I could get out. He didn’t need to tell me twice. I’d had a good sleep – for once – but my entire body was still aching and sore. Thanks to my wolf, I managed to make the bruise on my face fade away; but if I used her to heal all of me, I feared it would kill her. If I was weak, I couldn’t even imagine the state she

Lesley's POV“I doubt it,” he answered honestly and avoided eye contact. My stomach curled. Damn it! He really liked her. “She hates my guts, not yours.”I froze on the spot and looked at my mate. I had initially opened my mouth to apologize; until I realized his stupid answer. Was he serious? He was! And for the life of me, I couldn’t stop the sarcastic snort that slipped from my lips.“You know nothing about women, do you?” I sighed, shaking my head unable to believe how gullible my mate was – and an alpha at that!He glanced in my direction but didn’t answer. His eyes darkened, and he looked like he was talking to his wolf again. Or mind-linking someone?Asking about a book on women I bet, I thought, earning a giggle from my wolf. He was adorability clueless. Heck, I was a woman and I didn’t get them. I hardly understood myself most days...I walked around the kitchen island and noticed that the kitchen

Lesley's POVHis wolf was in control...“I didn’t mean it like that,” I gasped, terrified that he might snap my neck. I knew that mates didn’t hurt each other, but--- I was not taking any chances! “I’m-I’m sorry!”A low rumbling growl had his chest vibrating, but eventually, he took a step back and let me go. I gasped for air, feeling the icy cold clutches of fear creeping up my spine. He was still dangerously close to shifting and honestly, all I wanted to do, was to go over and touch him. Calm him, reassure him that I was his! To hold, to care, to--- But I was too scared, knowing what he must already think of me...I wanted to cry.When my uncle had said that I was “his bitch”, he hadn’t been wrong. He owned me. Even now, he controlled my actions. Because of him, I couldn’t go anywhere near my mate. He made sure that my chance of a good life – of love! – would never come true.I took another deep breath.I will

Lesley’s POVSo…Here’s what happened after our little conversation:NOTHING!Like he didn’t even show me around or anything! I was just left in the kitchen with a "good" and "I’m going to the office to do some pack work". And bam-slam went the door, and I was left alone in the house where I didn’t even know what room I was supposed to be in!The echo of the slamming door and the aftershock of the vibrating walls settled in my body like a sickness. My heart turned back to flesh sending a wave of pain through my body with every beat. The bile in my stomach threatened to return and tears pressed against my eyelids.Fuck him! Fuck fucking everything!Without thinking, I turned on my heels. With a harsh motion, I slid the patio doors aside and slipped into the garden, walking nowhere specific. The grass tickled my bare feet and was a nice distraction from the storm I felt insi

Lesley's POVDean looked up when he heard his name. His expression was confused as he eyed me from top to toe, clearly not recognizing me. I grinned, and finally, his eyes grew wide in surprise and excitement.“Lesley?!”My heart jumped at him calling my name. Even my wolf was wagging her tail in excitement. I couldn’t help it anymore. I launched forward and ran to him. I flung my arms around him, jumping into his arms, and making him stagger backwards.“Oh my god! Lesley!” he exclaimed, closing his arms around me, and pulling me close to him. I fought back the tears as I dug my face into his shoulder.“I can’t believe it’s really you!” I whispered, trying not to be strangled by my enclosing throat. I didn’t notice all the curious and suspicious eyes that suddenly were on us, but for once, I honestly didn’t care! I just found my brother again! Someone who I'd thought to be dead for almost two years. My emotions and questio

Lesley's POV“YOU’RE THE NEW LUNA?!” He exclaimed as if he didn’t believe his own words.And now I was confused...“What do you mean ‘new’?” I asked, frowning and eyeing the three men around me. A quick glance at the Beta and Gamma, it was obvious that they were hiding something, as they suddenly were paler than a sheet! I sighed. So much for trusting the grown-ups to not complicate things...“What do you mean ‘what’?” Dean questioned, astonished. “Alpha Cedrick ha---”“Will be furious if you start slacking,” Ryder conveniently cut Dean off. Dean snapped his head towards the Gamma, but it took a mind-link and a growl between the wolves before he stood down.Ah! Our Dean! My wolf proudly purred, just as happy to see him as I was. I agreed, despite not understanding what was going on. You could always trust Dean to treat you with respect and not leave you in the dark, so you’d feel like a complete idiot in situations

Lesley’s POVIf I had walked into this hospital at any other point and time in my life, I would have walked straight out of there, afraid that soiling the floor was going to cost me a kidney, a lung, and maybe my liver! It was clean-cut, modern, and looked extremely professional. A private hospital crossed my mind again, as everything inside was screaming money! The toned-down colors, the beautiful artwork, the neatly polished floor---No one was running around, no screams were flowing from behind closed doors, and the nurses didn’t look tired from pulling in a million extra hours. There was peaceful chatter, some laughter even! Some patients were sitting on lounges, talking while they got treated for silver or training injuries, while others were impatiently pacing around waiting for the other shoe to drop. And by that I meant they were heavily pregnant she-wolves, giving their mates hell. I grinned. That was what you get for knocking up a she-wolf! I

Lesley's POVThe office was big. A huge and surprisingly clean desk with modern computers was placed right under the painted window, making natural light flow into the room. Right behind it was a wall separating an examination room and several floor-to-ceiling bookshelves all stacked with books, articles, and medical equipment. Everything was modern white, with a calm tone of gray, blue, and green, while the artwork on the wall was a beautiful, strong multicolored painting, picturing a woman walking in a sea of colors. It was inspiring and brought a smile to my lips. It made me think about hope.“Now,” Doctor Monty said, offering me a seat across his desk. “What can I help you with?”“Yeah,” I trailed off, gathering the courage to say what I needed to. “I need a morning-after-pill and STD blood work.” I blurted out before I had time to change my mind. “Is it possible to get a pregnancy test if it’s really, really early on?”My heart was a

Lesley’s POV“Good morning, sunshine,” Ryder greeted me in his usual manner, as I walked up to him in the arena.“Good morning, Ryder,” I answered, unable to stop grinning like a mad person.“Hmm, someone had a good date?” He teased. I didn’t reply, but snickered at him, letting him come to whatever conclusion he wanted. He grinned and shook his head, before putting on a more serious expression. “Ready for today’s lesson?” he asked. “You’re finally going to do some kicking back.”“I was born ready for this,” I replied, psyched as shit--- And moments later I wished I knew when to keep my mouth shut. Kicking and hitting back was hard, painful, and – unfortunately – involved the other part of kicking and hitting back too!And damn him, he was good!He kicked me, landing a pretty mean punch in my stomach. I wobbled back, before losing my balance--- only to land on a couple of strong arms that held me from falling on my
The Lottery Mate Chapter 42
Lesley's POVI gulped and forced my body to be still. I don’t know what happened, but I knew I didn’t want to push my luck right now. And if I was being honest, I understood his actions a bit better. Sure, there were other ways he could have gone about it – and probably ALL of them better than what he chose! – but in the end, he didn’t want to hurt me.He--- he cared about my feelings...“Please get back in the car, so I can get home and have a VERY cold shower, so I don’t rip those clothes off your body?” he sighed, his blue eyes finding mine. “Please?” he repeated, those black orbs begging me to do what he said. “I’ll slow down, I swear,” he promised. “I don’t want to damage us more than I already have.”“OK,” I nodded--- and although I’d probably agree to go to the moon if he told me to right now, I felt the tensio
The Lottery Mate Chapter 41
Lesley’s POVSo--- Here’s what happened after that unexpected kiss.He took me home saying it was late!Yeah, I know!Smooth move there, Romeo!I was pissed, to say the least…I had felt his hands sneak around my waist, pulling me closer to him. His tongue graced mine, asking for entrance. Without thinking, I gave him access and he instantly deepened the kiss. Tasting me, like it was the sweetest ambrosia.I moaned, as the sparks erupted from the tip of my lips and spread through my entire body. Warming me from the inside out and making my knees weak in want. I wrapped my arms around his neck to keep me from falling. But it only resulted in pushing us even closer together, making me feel his erected excitement press against my abdom
The Lottery Mate Chapter 40
Lesley's POVCedrick didn’t protest but fell in step with me. We ordered a large chip each and once we got our order, we continued to walk down the pier.“So,” Cedrick started out, a bit insecure. “Is this what qualifies as fun for you?”“This was the only fun I could have,” I confessed and mentally rolled my eyes when I met his surprised expression. “I was an Omega, remember?” I had to remind him. “I didn’t get paid, but by making the right kind of friends, I could get into clubs and stuff without paying.”“How do you make friends like that?”“I offered them my services,” I smirked--- without thinking how that sounded…“What?!” Cedrick exclaimed shocked and his wide eyes found mine. At first, I didn’t really get it--- until my wolf practically barked some sense back into me.“Oh, fuc
The Lottery Mate Chapter 39
Lesley's POVHe nodded and I could feel the presence of his wolf decrease until I almost couldn’t feel him anymore. For a second, I was worried about what my wolf was going to say about it. But to my surprise, she didn’t mind us humans having some alone time.I beamed a smile at him, leading him to the DJ booth.“Big D,” the tall, dark man exclaimed, once he was us and engulfed me in a ‘bro-hug’. “‘S’up?”DJ was one of the humans back home that I and Amanda had been good friends with. He was considerably older than us, but he was cool to hang with because he could get us access to all the clubs and bars he had a gig at. He moved away with his boyfriend when he got a job offer out of town, but he’d told me to look him up if I ever was in town.Because--- conveniences, bitches!“Hey, DJ,” I grinned back, not noticing the rage that flashed in
The Lottery Mate Chapter 38
Lesley's POVI mentally rolled my eyes at him.And here I was thinking he was constipated! My wolf grinned--- and I just loved her even more.“If it’s any consolation, you look younger,” I answered, gesturing to the missing beard. And I hoped he got the hint to let it grow back. He looked better with it!“I know,” he just answered pointedly, picking up the fork and knife. “Still doesn’t change the numbers though.”“Relax! What’s the worst that could happen?” I replied and rolled my eyes. Grabbing my burger with both hands and gobbled down another mouthful. From the corner of my eye, I caught Cedrick’s astonished face while I chewed. “I’m part wolf,” I shrugged, unapologetically, swallowing, and hurried to take another bite. “Sorry if I eat like one.”He laughed, but quickly and nervously looked around as if he&rsquo
The Lottery Mate Chapter 37
Lesley’s POVI was not allowing myself to get excited about this!I was going on a date with my mate, sure! But if he made a last-minute cancelation, I wouldn’t show him that it hurt me. I was preparing to get disappointed, even preparing for the fact that this might even be his punishment for me. Get me worked up to rub it in my face later.I was NOT going to get worked up about this. I was his mate. Not someone he loved, right? I was just an inconvenience that he got stuck with...I took a deep breath.Yeah, that’s it. Like ‘Anja’ said: he loved her less than a week ago. There was no way he loved me. Or even cared for me.I took one last look in the mirror. Luckily, all my bruises were gone, so I could show a little skin for once without endangering my old pack. Tight black leggings under a pair of once-upon-a-ripped jeans, that I’d turned into shorts. A pair of yellow sneakers and a white tank top let so
The Lottery Mate Chapter 36
Lesley's POV“Why?” Cedrick gritted between his teeth, folding his huge arms over his broad chest. His eyes avoided mine and were burning holes in the carpet on the floor.“I-I want to see if there are any audiobooks lying around,” I replied, cursing my nervous stutter. Why was I so freaking nervous?! Oh, yeah! The last time we spoke, he almost strangled me!--- And yet, I was over the moon seeing him here. He didn’t smell like another woman! In fact, he smelled like an old couch and breath mints. You know? The ones you keep in your desk for emergencies. He spent the night at the office! And for some stupid unexplainable reason, that made me happy!“Why?” he asked surprised, quickly ripping the rug out from under my happy moment and bringing me back down to reality…“So I can get my homework done,” I muttered, stealing a glance at his annoyingly perfect face from time to time.
The Lottery Mate Chapter 35
Lesley's POVA low growl erupted from his chest. He leaned his body against mine. His lips trailed the naked skin of my exposed neck. The motion sent currents of soft electricity through my body, making me shiver. Yet not in a sexy way...“Good!”Suddenly, he dropped me. His hard frame left mine and he was gone. My legs barely caught the sudden weight of my body. Before I managed to pull myself together, I heard the door slam shut with such force that it shook the walls.I released a breath I didn’t know I’d been holding. My heart was slamming against my chest and was currently the only proof of life I had. My body was shaking, and more tears threatened to spill. Without thinking, my fingers found the angry mark left behind from his hand.Jeez! Why don’t werewolves have domestic violence laws? I sarcastically asked myself, although I already knew the answer: the evide
