“Mom, I want to come home! I don't belong here!” I cry into my phone.

“Sweetie, you belong there far more than you belong out here. You need to be there. It’s time. You’ll see. In time you will see,” Erica says in that weak voice that breaks my heart more and more everytime I hear how ill she is.

“No. They have fated mates…all of them and I know it can’t be me, yet these stupid, beautiful guys are interested in me. They’d be better with one another than with me,” I cry.

“You must feel something or you wouldn’t be such a mess. Would you like to talk to me about it?” She asks.

“Noah, my stepbrother. He’s hard to handle because we live together. His bedroom is next to mine, but then there is Ryder and…uh…mom…I saw them kissing, but it only made me want to be with both of them more. Then the playboy Alpha…he’s flirting and he’s cute, but he..I can’t imagine entertaining him because I know he must have a fated mate and he’s already such a fuckboy,” I explain through sobs.

“So y

Elena is struggling and she is about to learn a lot about her new home and the residents. Being taught about werewolves, even by someone who lived with them for two decades, is not the same as living in a pack full of them.

    NoahI couldn’t help myself. I wanted so badly to feel Ryder’s lips again and explore his hard body. He has a gorgeous, muscular body he hides most of the time.My fingers grazed his abdomen and I was tempted to go lower. But, instead, I traced my way up, under his shirt, making my way up to his firm pecs and erect nipples. He moaned into my mouth as I traced his nipple with my fingers and then lightly pinched the stiff peak between my forefinger and thumb, rolling them and feeling his cock pulse against my abs as I pressed further against him.I was out of breath and lightheaded by the time I broke the kiss. My cock was straining against my pants and aching, but now I am looking into my best friend's eyes as he slips his hand into my waistband.Ryder’s fingertips graze the tip of my cock and I shudder, then moan softly. “I want to feel you,” Ryder whispers. “We don’t have to, but…I can tell you are as turned on as I am.”“We…we shouldn’t go too far, but I want to touch you as well,”

    Liam“Sure,” Elena replied, looking into my eyes after a long pause. “It’s probably wise to get to know my future Alpha better. You surprised me with what you just said.”“Huh? What about it?” I asked.“You just said the least Alpha like thing I could imagine. I thought Alpha’s were all take charge and egotistical, but you just said that Noah and Ryder are both better choices than you,” Elena replied.“Uh, yeah. I’m not lying. They are incredibly attractive men and superb fighters and they are both high quality and trustworthy men. I…I have my faults and have messed up in ways I don’t care to admit to, especially to you,” I said with a light flush rising to my cheeks, that I hoped Elena mistook for the flush from my morning run.“That is kind of…humble and almost adorable, but don’t let it go to your head. Friday or Saturday would be fine for me,” She replied before pulling away and continuing her jog.“Friday night it is, then!” I called out. “See you in school, Elena!”Now, I am mean

    Elena“I heard you are joining us for training this afternoon,” Rolly says to me on Wednesday as we prepare to head out of school. “Yeah, Olivia and I are getting picked up by our father and he’s bringing us there,” I reply.“I could drive you there from now on, that way he doesn’t have to leave the training facility to pick you up,” he offers.“That’s sweet but Dad has always picked me up,” Olivia says. “If you weren’t gay, I’d think you were as crazy about Ellie as the other guys.”She giggles and nudges his shoulder. “Maybe I am,” Rolly laughs. “I would have offered the same for you, but I don’t know you that well and you kind of intimidate me, not going to lie, Olivia.”“What? Livie is sweet!” I gasp. “You haven’t seen her train yet, have you?” Rolly laughs. “Your sister is vicious and it is apparent who her father is…wait! Maybe, I should e afraid of both of you.”“Haha! You know I don’t have a wolf, so there is no reason to fear me,” I snort and roll my eyes.“Olivia doesn’t h

  • The Unbound Luna   16. I Disagree

    Ryder“No!” Noah growls as soon as I shut the door to his bedroom. “She can’t be! She is ours!”“Possessive much?” I chuckle. “Calm your horses, Cowboy. All it means is that her wolf is higher rank than Cheri’s. Even if she hasn’t manifested it, Cheri’s wolf deferred to the power she sensed off of Elena.”“There is only one rank higher than Beta,” Noah snorts.“You are adorable when you are angry and possessive, but I disagree,” I reply.“You disagree? What about?” Noah asks with pursed lips and a furrowed brow.“I disagree that there is only one possible conclusion. She could have a special wolf, or an Alpha wolf, not just the wolf destined to be the Luna of the pack. She could be the future Beta’s mate…my mate and hopefully, yours as well. She could, and I know this is a long stretch, but she could have two or three mates because she could be that Mythic wolf,” I explain.“I don’t like it. It’s dangerous for her if she is some wolf out of a legend. I don’t like her being our Luna, ei

  • The Unbound Luna   17. Is It A Date?

    NoahI didn’t sleep well last night. Ryder slept at home. I’m off my game today and I’m glad I only have to cover one class, which is one I can mostly just observe and bark orders and corrections for. These guys are seasoned enough to know what they need to do. After the class, Ryder strides up to me and leans in. The gesture is intimate, even for friends as close as we are. His lips brush my ear as he whispers.“You look as rough as I feel, Cowboy.” His breath raises goose bumps on my skill and sends a surge of desire through me.“I’m going to need to learn how to ride horses if you keep calling me that,” I reply with a hint of a smirk.“No. You only need to ride me,” Ryder laughs, too loudly for me to feel as if it was private. We are alone in the room. But I know how wolf hearing is. I know anyone just beyond these walls might hear even a whisper that is uttered too loudly. “Ryder!” I hiss. “Noah, they know. If they don’t know, maybe they should,” Ryder whispers, this time brus

  • The Unbound Luna   18. Not A Date

    Elena “It’s not a date,” I remind myself as I check my image in the mirror and admire my own reflection. My floral sundress would have been fine alone in California this time of year, but here, it’s chilly, so I am wearing a cardigan and denim jacket. I’m dressed nicely, but not too nicely, because it’s just a dinner to get to know the super hot Alpha better, not an actual date. I wouldn’t want it to be a date anyway. He and all the other werewolves have fated mates. With no wolf, that cannot possibly be me. “Elena, Alpha Heir Liam is here to pick you up!” Allison calls out from the front door and I guess my time is up for deciding on my outfit, so I head out to meet him. I hear a snarl from Noah as I rush past him. He’s dressed up like he’s going out, too. He has no right to be jealous. “Hello, Liam. I hope this outfit is okay for whatever place we will be going to talk tonight,” I greet. “Oh, Wow! Elena! That is …yeah!” Liam replies enthusiastically. “You two have a gre

    RyderI could tell as soon as Noah climbed into the truck beside me that he was very tense. Actually, before he climbed into the truck. His entire body language shows the tension.“What’s up, Noah? You are too tense for this to be about our date,” I ask.“She’s out with HIM,” Noah snarls. “And she looks really good in a cute dress.”“You have to relax, Cowboy,” I chuckle. “He’s our Alpha and he’s allowed to get to know her. He’s an attractive guy and nice. She could do worse. If she isn’t with us, wouldn’t you rather her be with someone strong enough to protect her.”“I want her to be with us,” Noah snorts.“Please, try to stay chill and enjoy our first date. Maybe when we get home we’ll get to pick up where we left off before whatever that was with your mom,” I suggest.“I’ll try, but I can’t guarantee anything,” he replies, but he allows me to caress his thigh as I drive us to the restaurant. We are silent for the drive and I know Noah is stressing out about Elena and Liam. I tru

    Noah“I don’t know if I can…” I start, but Ryder’s lips cut off my words before I can get them all out as his lips crash against mine and his hands pull at my shirt.The kiss is heated and needy and his hands are frantic as they tug my shirt off and he reaches for my belt buckle. His desire is palpable and infectious. A fire coils in the pit of my belly, slowly unfurling into a wild flame and surging through my entire being. It’s a fire that can only be quenched by Ryder’s body and his hungry kisses let me know that is precisely what he intends to do. I grab Ryder’s firm ass and pull him against me as I deepen the kiss. My brain can wait to backfire. Tonight I’m making love to my best friend!Ryder moans into my mouth and rolls his hips, emphasizing how hard his cock is for me as he weaves his fingers into my hair.
