ALPHA MADISON EVANS POV ~Beep~ ~Beep~ ~Beep~ ~Beep~ I groan out loud as I turn over in my bed and slap haphazardly on my nightstand to turn off my alarm. It takes a few tries, but I finally hit it. I sigh in relief when it goes silent. I seriously contemplate just rolling over, burying myself back in to my covers, and going back to sleep. Goddess I loathe the early mornings. Not that that has ever been enough to keep me in bed, enjoying my slumber. Nope. I always push it aside to get up and get going on the overwhelming amount of responsibilities that I have. It is legitimately never ending. No matter how much I accomplish in a day, there’s always just as much, or more, waiting for me the next day. Yes, I’m wallowing, and I really don’t give a damn. I am staring at my ceiling while I wait for the drive and motivation to get out of bed to finally hit me, even though I know it won’t. I’ll have to push my

MADDIE POVGoddess it feels good out on the open road. Not thinking. Not commanding. Just me and my pink lady. Going fast, passing cars, taking the turns sharply. If I wasn’t wearing my helmet, I’d be able to feel the wind on my face.Safety is important, even for wolves; we aren’t indestructible, but I wish I’d left without my helmet today so I could better feel and smell the wind. Despite that, I can feel the tension in my body easing; releasing the pent-up knotted muscles in my shoulders as I ride, fully relaxing me as very little can anymore.I need to do this more. In less than two weeks, I will have more free time on my hands, although I’m pretty sure something will come up to fill that time. Like it always does. Even so, maybe I need to make this a nightly habit to help me unwind. I need that even more now that I don’t shift.I always feel like I have a murderous monster just under my skin, and it’s worse when I’m overly stressed. I don’t need to lash out at anyone unnecessaril

MADDIE POVI see Mama frown a bit at my last comment. She doesn’t like that I spend my birthday night with male company, but she doesn’t voice it either. I’m a fully grown adult and make my own choices regarding my body. I see Daddy nod in understanding, but he also sniffs me subtly; his eyes turning silver for a second. Damn, he’s too observant for his own good.“Hi, Madison. Patty and Stanley said you’d be stopping in for your birthday breakfast. Happy Birthday. What can I get started for you today?” The newest waitress, Aimee asks, effectively distracting Daddy from examining my scent further.“Hi Aimee,” I answer with a smile. “Thanks for the birthday wishes. I’ll have the Wolverine Special, add in avocado toast and a large bowl of mixed fruits please.”“Goodness, that’s a lot of food for someone so tiny.” Aimee’s eyes are practically bugging out of her head in shock. I just shrug at her comment. She is human and has absolutely zero idea how much food all of us wolf shifters put a

MADDIE POV“Okay, let’s do it.” I agree, still unsure I’ll be able to make that choice if I don’t find him. But Daddy is right, I’ve never had the opportunity to go very far to search for him. This will be perfect.“Good. Thank you for agreeing to the trip. Now, one more thing.” He says as I roll my eyes and take another bite of delicious Nutella brownie. There’s always ‘one more thing’ to talk about. Ever the alpha.“There will be a council spot opening up within the next year and I want you to vie for the seat.” I drop my spoon in shock that he would ask me to join the council. But then I realize who’s seat is opening up and I begin to get angry.“Who? Who is retiring?” I think I already know; I just want him to confirm it.“Armaros.” I growl when Daddy says his name. “I know honey, we all feel that way. But once the twins take their pack, you’ll have a lot of free time. Nolan and I both think you’d be perfect for the seat. And if we find you a mate, no one can deny you the opportun

Holy shit was I freaked out when she manifested in my head and started talking to me! She told me all about being a wolf shifter and the Moon Goddess, Selene. How I was special and stronger than all other shifters. Because of that, I got her earlier than others normally would get their wolves. Much, much earlier.I thought I was going crazy, so I checked out book after book from the public library on psychology and mental disorders. Just trying to understand what was happening to me.Once the initial shock and freak out was over, I relaxed and began to hone my werewolf senses. When I focused on that instead of myself, I realized that others in my life were also shifters. It was the scent of them that alerted me to the fact that they were different than the humans. Most humans have a fairly boring and faint smell, but shifters’ scents are complex and tend to swirl. It’s very inviting and overwhelming, until you get used to it.Patty and Stanley were the first ones to stand out for me.

When I was eighteen, the year I took over as the Alpha to Blue Meadow, Mama had her last pregnancy. This time though, she had identical twin female pups, totaling out at thirteen kids, including me. It was shocking for the whole shifter world to have so many pups born to one Luna. And for all of them to be born Royal Alphas to a human was world-wide historic shifter news. Well, twelve are Royals because they are biologically Daddy’s. I’m the odd one out in my family, which is why Selene gave me Infinity, the most ancient wolf spirit in existence.As werewolves, we are born with our reincarnated wolf spirit slumbering within us. The adult shifters can smell the rank of the slumbering wolf spirit within the infant pups the moment they are born. Usually, Alphas will have multiple pups to ensure the pack has a viable heir. The first is always an Alpha, no matter their gender. The first born is usually male. Not always, but usually. The second pup, is again, usually an Alpha and 70/30 on g

Pushing all of those thoughts aside for now, I step into the bar and get a good look at the activity inside Maeve’s Tavern as the big oak doors loudly bang closed behind me. It is buzzing with warm blooded humans and wolves. All looking to blow off steam by drinking, dancing, playing pool, or picking someone up to warm their beds for the night.I make my way over to the bar, shedding my leather jacket as I go. Metallica comes on and I bob my head to the beat. I love that Maeve doesn’t stick to any one genre of music here. Metal, rock, classics, folk, crooners, jazz, indie, alternative, country, pop, classic rap, pop punk… it always varies. And if you don’t like a song, the next one will be different, so you just wait it out. The only music she refuses to play are new age rap and Mariah Carey. Maeve has a deep loathing for Mariah; I find it humorous, but I can’t say I disagree with her choice on that.I approach the crowded bar and find a single stool available. I see Maeve and Barry,

MADDIE POVThere is a large group of younger males back at the pool tables; they could be options too. At least I think that until I look harder and see the black Xs on their hands… shit, jailbait. Fuck no! Avoiding the pool table back corner tonight.Maeve’s is one of the only off-territory nightlife places for River View pack and I know she lets the underage wolves in if it’s a special occasion. Like a birthday. It’s the perfect place for when the kids wanna celebrate and feel a little more grown up. Not to mention, get away from the helicopter prying eyes of mom and dad.What the pups don’t know is that my brother, Alpha Nolan, has Maeve’s Tavern on video surveillance for their safety. He also posts up several of his older and usually retired security team members in the bar when the pups are scheduled to be here. I scan the crowd a little closer and see the security wolves blending in, drinking root beer from the bottle, and keeping an eye on the underage party pups.I see one mem

MADDIE POVRooker looks up at Chandler and they meet eyes. Chandler’s look panicked and pained. I think he doesn’t want to lose his fated, but he is too conflicted with what his father has been trying to beat into his head. Rooker looks back to his Alpha, “May I speak to Chandler alone?” He asks. We all nod and leave the room.Chandler’s father looks livid that he’s being asked to leave his son alone in the room, but no one gives a shit what he wants right now.My sense of hearing is better than most wolves, so I eavesdrop once the door has closed, just to make sure Rooker is okay. I would feel guilty about not giving them their privacy, but those who can and choose to abuse their mate don’t get the benefit of the doubt. Or privacy. “Are you going to be willing to accept me and our bond?” Rooker quietly asks Chandler. I can hear the pain and heartbreak in his voice.“Being mated to another male is wrong.” Chandler says in defiance, but it’s lacking any real conviction.“Says who? Your

MADDIE POVThe drive is peaceful and uneventful. However, when I get to River View’s packhouse, there is a whirlwind of activity. I see Adaley, my sister-in-law looking frazzled, and I hurry over to her.“Ley, what is happening?”“Oh, Mads! Thank goddess you’re here! Ike is in an uproar, demanding the little shit, Chandler, is put to death for what he’s been doing to poor Rooker. Nolan is having a hard time keeping the peace. Which, of course, makes everyone in the pack flustered because they can feel his anxiety and anger. Can you head in there to help keep him calm? I don’t like being around that much anger, it makes me nauseous.” Adaley asks me with her hand on her slightly swollen stomach. She is such a sweet Luna. She doesn’t have a single combative bone in her body. This stress isn’t good for her right now, being halfway into her most recent pregnancy.“Yes. I’ll head to his office now.” I say as I tip-toe up to kiss her cheek then I quickly turn and hustle down the hallway to m

MADDIE POV This. Isn’t. Happening. It cannot be fucking happening. I thought I scored BIG TIME when I chatted up my man-meat for the night. They were both young, in shape and very charming. And they were both super into me, their arousal scents were through the roof. I could tell they thought they’d have to talk me into leaving with them. Instead, my proposition of a threesome shocked them. Their facial expressions were quite humorous, but I could tell, shocked or not, they were all for it. Or so I thought. We left Maeve’s quickly after that. They followed me to The Tower Hotel. I rent a suite on my birthday each year, under a pseudonym just in case anyone tries to track me down later. The men, whom I dubbed ‘Viking’ and ‘Geronimo’, were on me the moment we entered the suite. I was in heaven! Four hands roaming my body, helping me out of my clothing. Two mouths on me, heating my skin and bringing my arousal to the surface. Just as

JOSH POVJenna enters the VIP lounge as I put the chardonnay bottle in an ice bucket to keep the rest cold and I hold out the full-to-the-rim glass for her. She saunters over and flops down on the couch beside me.“Sorry I’m late. I was still in negotiations.”“Negotiations? With whom? I thought no one was interested, Jenna?” I ask, trying to play off my nerves as she takes the glass of wine from me. I really hope she talked the owners of the Packers into letting me play first string again this year. We have an amazing line up planned and the college draft picks went better than expected. I’ll have new meat to work with and a real chance at another Super Bowl ring. Just one more year…“Well, you’re right. No one was interested. But…” she trails off with a small twist of a smile. Jenna licks her lips of her wine as she continues. “I talked the Packers into a year contract.”I jump up when I hear that and pull her up into my arms for a hug. “You are the best little sister and manager an

JOSHUA POVI slowly sip my bourbon while I sit in the upstairs VIP section of a small mom-and-pop bar called Maeve’s Tavern. Jenna insisted that this is where we needed to meet to discuss a possible contract and the rest of my professional career. I don’t understand why either. Way the fuck out here near Madison, Wisconsin. It took me over two hours to drive here.When I walked in, the old bartenders, a husband and wife by the look of them, recognized me immediately. Not surprising since I’ve been starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers for fifteen years. This last year however, I’ve had injury after injury. The most recent being rotator cuff surgery on the shoulder of my throwing arm.This is not the position I want to be in as my career is winding down. I wanted to go out with a bang! Another big win at the Super Bowl and walk into retirement with my head held high. Not pushed on a gurney into a surgical suite to fade into the forgotten oblivion of retired NFL has-beens.But

MADDIE POVAs I get closer to the pool area, I see Rooker standing in the corner. He definitely doesn’t look like he’s having fun tonight and he is casting a wary eye on the taller two guys currently playing a round of pool. He’s got a small, unhealed cut on his lip and a neck bruise like they tried to choke him already. Infinity begins growling in my head. Even though she’s not really present much anymore, she still gets irate when we see abuse of any kind.*Brent… I think Ike is correct. Rooker looks scared as shit. Plus he’s got a split lip that’s not fully healed and a bruised neck. I’m gonna put these pups in their places a bit and link my brother. I don’t know what all is happening here, but he needs to know. I’m sending Rooker to the bathroom, get him home.* I link out to Brent. He doesn’t respond but I can smell and hear that he’s moved closer to the restrooms to intercept Rooker when I send him that way.*Nolan.* I link to my brother. It takes a minute, and I realize I probab
