I didn’t bother training this morning. I knew Jaz wasn’t going to be there and to be honest, I slept like crap.
I stayed up later than usual filling in my mother on all of the craziness over the past few weeks, and my brain failed to turn off at a reasonable hour. My only regret was that I hadn’t made the time to return Gia’s calls over the past week. Some best friend, I am. I shrugged it off. I needed coffee. My head felt hungover from the events of yesterday. Had I really been kidnapped? Had that really just been yesterday?
I headed downstairs to the kitchen. Goddess, Dina was wonderful. She already had a steaming cup of coffee and a heaping plate of eggs waiting for me on the counter.

Ethan“Yea, I like her for the most part.” Kira stuffed solid food into her mouth as I drooled watching her. I was still stuck on my jell-o diet. I was becoming angrier by the day.“She came by to see me yesterday.”“And?” Kira looked at me as she stuffed another sushi roll into her mouth.“And… I think she’s cool.”“Uh huh. Aaaaand.” She drew it out as if waiting for more.“Nothing. I just apparently missed out on a lot, I guess.”The next sushi roll never made it to her mouth, but flopped onto her plate. She looked me in the eyes, concern reflected in her own.

LeilaI left my father’s office feeling a bit better, but knowing that I wasn’t exactly being honest with either of my parents. I told my mother that I would be honest with my father about Justin, but sitting across from him in his office didn’t make it easy. Although, I was surprised to see what he had agreed to; I could run patrol and I wouldn’t have to run it with Justin, Gowan, or anyone else from the Chiyad pack. That was a relief--though a part of it stung. I had first started my patrol with many of the pack members I was now turning my back on. My stomach sank at the thought. I wasn’t really a member of the Aperture Pack, but was I still a member of the Chiyad pack? The thought made my skin crawl.I pulled out my phone as I walked down the hall, dialing my mother. She picked up on the first ring.&ldq

I’m determined to break her down though. She’s gotta tell me where Jaz is. And I’m pretty sure she hasn’t replaced her phone yet.”“Want me to try some internal guilt-tripping?”I smirked. Goddess I had missed Ethan.“Nah. I think I’ve got something figured out.”“Really? Fifty

Pack infirmary Perrin “Hi Lorrie.” “Ethan’s asleep, Perrin.” “Oh I know. I’m here to check in as a patient.” I tried to channel my most dazzling, Ethan-esque smile. Lorrie took off her glasses and put her fingers to her temples, squeezing her eyes shut. “Perrin, please. This is making you look desperate.” I raised the hem of my shirt to expose the bruising visible across my abs. “Nope. Just here to check in.” Her eyes popped as she scanned my abs. “Oh my Goddess! You weren’t kidding.” “Nope. Do I need to take a seat or can you send me right back?”

Pack infirmaryJaz“And we can make this work.”As Perrin spoke, the weight of the last several days since I called it off came crashing down on me, an immense tidal wave of exhaustion. I felt like I had been drowning, unable to focus, chest tight, and forcing myself by the minute to keep going.His words, though unexpected, had come as unexpected though welcome relief. I finally felt able to breathe again, and the only thing I wanted to inhale was his scent.I leapt up into his arms, hurdling myself into his embrace. Our lips crashed with intensity, as though the days spent apart without talking had built up a dam finally being released.I heard him groan as the weight of my body

Pack infirmaryPerrinWe were both breathing hard, the smell of sex permeating the room. She was laid out face-down on the patient bed, legs spread before me, the perfection of her glistening body on full display.I was panting, partially from cumming and partially because those final thrusts had caused a burst of pain in my side. But I couldn’t help but smile. Her ponytail askew, her entire body flushed pink--all because of me, was completely mesmerizing. How had I ever let her get away?I pulled out of her, leaning across the patient table to a stand with medical supplies. I grabbed a towel and wiped off, handing her a second.I turned to give her privacy, though the intimacy of that was laughable. I had been balls deep in her mom

Pack House Conference Room Leila I nervously sat in the large leather office chair, my legs barely touching the ground, despite my high heeled shoes. I wasn’t sure why I was so nervous. I leaned over the gleaming conference table, inspecting my reflection. My hair was straight, forming a sharp bob at my shoulder. I had gone with moderate makeup, demure earrings, and for some reason-- a blazer. I wasn’t even sure if I was going to have my photograph taken, but if I was, I didn’t want my photo looking anything like it did that night at the pier. I wanted to be seen as mature. I wanted to be taken seriously. And a blazer might--well, could-- help me do just that. I laughed at myself as I realized

Pack House Conference RoomLeila“Let’s change the subject, shall we?” said Lester.“Please.” I responded, slightly relieved. He tapped the recorder again.“Seeing as your eighteenth birthday is coming up, where do you see yourself finding a role within the pack?”“Are you asking me, ‘which pack?’” I asked flatly, annoyed with the word play.“No, Leila. I’m just simply wondering where your career trajectory is taking you.”“Oh!” I replied, feeling stupid. Maybe he wasn’t trying to trick me. “Well, I really love pack lore and pack histor

EPILOGUEMarge shuffled through the archive, her shoes making the only sound in the quiet stone building, echoing all the same through the high vaulted ceiling of the church building above. She raised a gnarled hand to the shelf and deposited the book after two tries, her hands shaking slightly with the cold. There were only a few books to return tonight. Far fewer than there had been when Leila had been here.So why had she waited until this late in the evening to do it? She just shrugged and pushed on, the slow creaking of the cart’s wheels punctuating the silence, her old watch on her pale wrist noting the time; 1:45 a.m.She really had no business being there so late. But she had gotten caught up in one of her research projects, spread out across her circulation desk and totally lost in thought until the rumble of her empty sto

Perrin“How long is it going to take?”I sat on Lo’s bed as she shoved clothes into her suitcase. “Maybe a week? I’m not sure.”“Why don’t you just leave all of that stuff here?” I pointed at the suitcase. “It’s not like you’re not going to bring it back.”She heaved a heavy sigh, full of fake exasperation. “I still have to pack it to move it down the hall. It’s just easier if I do it all at once.”“Nah. Let’s just throw it all in some garbage bags and unpack later.”She laughed. “Hand me those shoes?”I strode over and picked a pair

Perrin “Because I never want to create a monster like my father.” Silence hung in the room. I digested each word, the implications of it. “But you’re not…” I said, more for myself than for her. “No, I’m not. He never got his hands on me. My little brother made sure of that.” And even though she spoke in a viscous, quipping way; there was a hint of something grateful in her tone. “So he won’t be anything like him!” I said, assuring myself more than anything. “Does it matter?” She snapped, regaining her typical composure. “If my father’s insane lust for power is hereditary, then it’s best that the blood line ends with me. At least my brother won’t be breeding any offspring considering he’s gay–” sh

Perrin I glanced at my phone, then at Lo. We had made love for several hours, refusing to stop until we had our fill of each other. But each time hadn’t felt like enough, leaving us drained and happy but wanting more. After one particularly hot session in the middle of my bed involving whipped cream, I pulled her close to me, blissfully peaceful with her cradled in my arms. I felt her stomach growl against my hands. And apparently hungry. I swept my mouth to her ear and felt her shiver against me, goosebumps appearing up and down her body. I fought the impulse to warm her with every inch of mine. “Do you want me to get you a snack?” I said, and waved the small can of whipped cream in front of her face so she could see. She hummed lazily in my

PerrinAnd it had happened like that.I recalled the broad strokes for my friends.“You what?” Ethan said, shocked and nearly angry. “You can’t make that kind of promise!”Justin shook his head sagely. “That’s free reign, Perrin. And a dangerous move, backing out of every challenge. It puts you at a huge disadvantage if anyone trespasses on your territory.”“Or attacks on your land,” Ethan said.“Or poses a border dispute,” said Kira.“How will you expand?” Ethan asked, c

PerrinI tried to cover the nail marks she had left on my shoulder with a spare set of scrubs from Deidre’s office. It was no use. The scrubs were too small, tugging comically at my shoulders and Lo’s pink cheeks and ruffled hair couldn’t be fixed.We had retreated long enough to ourselves, and I pulled us back into the world of the living and down the hall, walking hand in hand as we rejoined our friends.Ethan smirked when he saw us. “Nice.”Kira rolled her eyes, glancing at her imaginary watch. “Couldn’t you two wait?”“At least get a shirt,” Ethan added, eyeing my bare chest. I had ditched the scrubs, unable to get them over my chest.

PerrinWe didn’t talk as much, even though that had been the plan.I had taken one of the chairs opposite Deidre’s desk, hoping to keep my brain thinking platonically for as long as possible. But part of me was still in shock. I could smell the smell of her coconut shampoo. See the glimmer of her earrings in the desk lap. And I had felt the tips of her fingernails as I held her hand; the short ones that she chewed on when she was reading and lost in thought.But I knew it was definitely her the moment I felt my head slightly dizzy with the draft of warm honeysuckle, intoxicatingly perfect.I wasn’t shy, needing to have her by my side. I pulled her easily into my lap, and she didn’t protest, as if still quite unsure that all of this was really happening either. She swun

PerrinAs soon as Mark dismissed the crowd, the crowd had begun to descend from the stands in droves. It hadn’t taken long for Lo to find me, fighting the current and pushing her way against the flow of teaming bodies and up to the platform.I sensed her, long before she ran up the platform stairs, Justin hot on her heels. I dove past my father, darted behind Mark and ran to meet her, not caring for any protocol or public indecency. I needed her.Her scent hit me first. It made my blood sing and my heart beat so fast I thought it would stop.And then there she was. The sight of my home and my heart, running and slipping across the wet platform towards me.My weight almost buckled beneath me, the unexpected reality of seeing her here st

Justin The arena was packed. I could hear an excited roar from the crowd from behind the Lodge, drifting over the top of the massive building and floating through the chill evening air. Lo parked illegally in front of the entrance to the building. Now was not the time to point it out. A series of battered and limp-hanging banners and signs showed the way around to the back. It had rained today, apparently, and we made progress towards the arena as quickly as we could, sludging through mud and the trampled pathway. A stadium had been erected, filled to the brim with stands of onlookers, cheering and applauding in a range of darkened colors, soaked from the rain. Despite the bad weather, it hadn’t dampened their spirits. The crowd had been here all night, awaiting the results. Colored tents for each challenging pack were spaced ou
