MILES"This is going to hurt," I murmured but I couldn't stifle the grin which split my face in two. "Just get it done and over with," came my brother's muffled voice through the bag of frozen peas Kara had handed him for the swelling, "I have no idea how you've survived through a broken nose more than once. No wonder your nose looks crooked. I hope my nose doesn't look like that.""It just might, pretty boy," I chuckled, batting his hand away so he could remove the peas. Orion slid to the edge of my bed with a grunt of frustration, "Okay, on three?""Fuck that," I gripped his nose, ignoring his squeal with a roll of my eyes before setting it back in place with a sickening crunch, "there, just hold your head back and keep the peas on. You'll heal in no time. Just be grateful you're not human and don't have to sit with the pain for longer than a day.""Oh, how lucky I am," Orion sardonically quipped, falling back onto the mattress with a groan, "how many games do you think are left?"
The Mating Game Chapter 12
KARAI paced the length of the cliffside as I waited for Miles and Orion to arrive. At every snap of a twig or crunch of a dry leaf, my heart leaped out of my chest at a violent speed. A buzz filled my body and restlessness infiltrated my mind. I couldn't sleep last night and my fraying nerves created a sturdy foundation to lay the bricks of anxiety. My doubts about my father were the cement that held those bricks in place. My father seemed genuinely excited about the games—too excited I noted on more than one occasion. However, if he had malicious intentions, why would he insist I get close and get to know the Alphas? Did he know I'd be headstrong and refuse it? Or worse, did he want me to get close to them so I could extract information and pass it on unknowingly? Wasn't that exactly what I had done when I disclosed the information of the first time Miles' wolf emerged?This was just one big conspiracy theory. What if I was overthinking this and making a massive mistake by trusting

KARA"They're going to catch your scent," Denver warned as we cautiously ambled down the hall, "so what's the point of me keeping guard?""They can figure out that I've been snooping through their things after I've done it. But if they find me while I'm snooping only the Goddess knows what they will do to me," I whispered over my shoulder even as my heart fluttered at the thought—what an unnatural response, "anyway, them sharing a room works in our favor. It will take me half the amount of time it would have if there were two rooms.""It's not you I'm worried about. I doubt they would do anything much to you considering you're the Alpha's daughter. It's me I'm worried about. They would kill me without a second thought," Denver murmured and a shiver shook his frame as if to emphasize his trepidation. "Denver," I crooned and playfully slapped a hand on his shoulder, "since when did you become such a scaredy cat?"He huffed as he shrugged off my hand, "I'm not scared but we both know tha

ORIONI watched her. She may not have realized it, or maybe she did, but I quite frankly didn't give a fuck. I watched her train the wolves in her pack in combat, helping them enhance both skill and physical endurance so both their human and wolf forms would be at optimal strength. She was patient and kind, showing them where they went wrong and guiding them step by step no matter how slow of a learner the pup was. Her nurturing side blossomed when she was amongst her pack. It was a side she had yet to show Miles or me directly—she didn't care much for us. This only emphasized that this pack was her life and she would do anything and everything to protect it. Kara may have made the perfect Luna but she could be an excellent Alpha and she knew it. She was confident, strong, and smart. When she disappeared after the training session and returned fresh out of the shower, I watched her scurry around helping prepare dinner. She didn't rest. From there, Kara sat to eat and then helped ag

MILES A sheen of sweat coated her tanned skin. My gaze tracked the movements of the sweat droplet that trickled down her muscle-corded stomach as Kara ran up to me. She had given Orion and myself orders to meet her outside the pack house at five. Ten minutes were still to tick on until the meeting time but I always prided myself on punctuality. Someone serious about their intentions never left someone waiting on them. It was one of the many qualities I believed made an excellent leader. Kara jogged to a stop, hunching her shoulders and resting her hands on her knees as she panted for breath. Her high ponytail blew in the breeze and her irises glistened when she glared up at me through her long eyelashes. Crossing my arms over my chest, my rumbling voice carried between us, "Do you ever rest?" Shooting ramrod straight, she raised a brow and proceeded to answer my question by asking a question of her own, "Do you? I know it can't be easy not being around your pack for so long.""It's

KARADinner was tense. No matter how deep of a breath I sucked in, my lungs still felt suffocated. I wasn't a claustrophobic person, but the way my father glared down his nose toward Miles and Orion made me want to spring up from my seat and flee. He didn't look too happy and I feared what that meant for me. If I deciphered the riddle correctly then I'd be safe for the next two days. However, if I was wrong and Orion didn't win this game, my wedding to Miles would be a matter of hours away. I'd have to get my shit together and leave along with him to his pack. We'd have to live together, sleep in the same room, and, worst of all, we would have to complete the mate bond. I'd have to accept the feeling of his broad, inked frame sprawled over my body while he ran his tongue over the column of my throat and sank his teeth into the junction where my neck met my shoulder. A considerable amount of heat ran up my body, causing my blood to simmer beneath my flesh and flush my skin pink. Th

MILESKara didn't move. She barely flinched. I ushered her into her adjoining bathroom and sat her down on the toilet so I could clean and disinfect her slit palm. Beads of blood trickled down the length of her fingers, leaving a trail behind her as she stalked the halls. When the alcohol-infused disinfected met the open wound, she didn't even twitch in acknowledgment. All she did was glare at the wrist I held cuffed in my grasp on the way up to her room. A pang echoed in my ribcage, causing my heart to beat out of its usual rhythm. Touching her felt... It was fucking extraordinary. It felt like something in me finally opened and the resounding emptiness that was created could only ever be filled with Kara. Electricity raced up my arm until something in my mind audibly snapped into place with the sound of a whip slicing through the air. And then, a tether so faint, glowed in my mind's eye and I knew the end of that tether could only be seen by Kara herself. She was the anchor at th
The Mating Game Chapter 18
ORIONI edged toward Kara cautiously, inhaling her lemon and pine scent which carried on the icy breeze that whipped around her. Her inky, raven black locks cascaded down her shoulders and moved like tendrils of shadow as the wind carded its claws through her mane. Kara's back was to me as she sat at the edge of the cliff, hugging one leg with her chin propped on the knee while the other dangled below. Bursts of sunlight began cresting the horizon, sending hues of burnt orange and magenta through the gray sky. As a beam of light settled on me, warmth erupted through my skin and offered some reprieve against the winter's chill. And yet, Kara sat with a crop top and sweatpants as if she were impervious to the cold. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" I decided to announce my presence. Kara audibly gasped, proving she hadn't caught my approach. She was so preoccupied with her thoughts that she let her guard down. That was one of the most dangerous mistakes a werewolf could commit. Her gaze r
