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

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

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

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 my

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 POV I strip quickly and pull Infinity forward. I scream out in pain. Has it really been that long since I’ve shifted to cause this much pain? Damn!! Zeus whimpers at hearing my pain and rubs my side in comfort. When the shift is over, I lay on the ground for a minute to get my bearings and energy. Panting hard, like I just ran dozens of miles. When we stand and sense the others around us, Infinity pushes me back and takes full control. She rounds on Zeus and growls out loudly in warning. Zeus growls back, as do Fang and Bolt, Thomas and Niall’s wolves. Zeus lets out a whimper again and Infinity relaxes her stance as she gets a good whiff of their scents. Infinity whimpers back at Zeus and he approaches with caution. As she sniffs him again, she begins to purr at Zeus. I want to shout out in glee when I feel her happiness. I haven’t felt her happy in so long. *I can’t believe it! She is so happy, Daddy. She’s still not speaking, but she is happy

MADDIE POV “I am incredibly proud of the two of you. I have had the honor of being your father and watching you grow into the wonderful and powerful women that you are today. I know you will do great things in your life, and I pray every day that the world will see you for the special women and Alphas that you are. I hope that you are both blessed with strong mates who will help you lead your pack and the shifter world into a prosperous and peaceful legacy. Alexandra, Charlotte… are you ready to accept your titles?” “Yes,” they say in unison as they hold out their hands, palm up. “I, Alpha Tyson Eziah Evans, do hereby transfer the title of alpha of Cold Lake pack to you both, Alexandra Lee Evans, and Charlotte Helen Evans. Do you accept the responsibility of Alpha?” “I, Alexandra Lee Evans,” Alex says while daddy cuts into her left palm. “I, Charlotte Helen Evans,” Daddy cuts into her right palm. “Do hereby accept

JOSH POV It’s been a week. A whole week since Jenna gave me the news of the coaching contract. I’ve been calling everyone I know, trying to get someone to give me another chance. One more year as a quarterback. That’s all I’m asking for. But no one is biting. It has already gotten to the point that teams, coaches, and owners aren’t taking my calls. They’re not taking Jenna’s calls either. I don’t know what else to try. Jenna keeps telling me that I need to face facts that no one wants to take that risk on me again. But I’m digging in my heels. I’m going to get a contract, dammit! I don’t care what I have to do. Well… I’m not giving anyone a blowie. I better asterisk that right now. When I haven’t been thinking about my career and staying in the NFL, my brain has floated back to my mystery biker woman. It has gotten so bad, that I’m having wet dreams about her. Seriously! I wake up while cumming in my boxers. I feel like I’m living in the

JOSH POV “Wait! Are you going to force this on me? Am I even allowed to leave? Am I a prisoner? And if I wasn’t your mate, what would have happened to me when I first got here? What would you have chosen to do with me, oh mighty Alpha?!” I begin to panic again, and my words are tumbling over each other in a rush to get them out. “Josh, please calm down. Your heart rate is insanely high, and you’ll hyperventilate if you don’t regulate your breathing. I’ll answer each question that you have. “I don’t need a wolf for a mate. I’ll admit, I wasn’t expecting to have a human for a mate, but it doesn’t bother me that you are one. Am I surprised by it? Yes. But I won’t be rejecting you for a reason as frivolous as you being human. “There are no rules about humans being mated to wolves or any issues with them living with the pack. At least, not in my pack. There are several dozen humans who are mated to members of Blue Meadow right now.

JOSH POV What the hell is a mate? Is it what it sounds like it is? Maybe they just call it different things than a human? I watch Maddie take a deep breath and I can see real distress in her expression. This is important. More important than everything else she’s told me. I can see it. I can feel it. This is monumental. “Wolves don’t worship Jesus or Allah or any of the other human religious deities.” Okay, not where I thought this was going. I don’t interrupt though, I just listen and watch her incredibly expressive face as she talks. “We worship our own Goddess. The Moon Goddess, Selene. Unlike humans, who have to pick a person to date, fall in love with and hope that the person they pick will be all they need in life. Werewolves are different. Selene gifts us a mate. Our soulmate. The one perfect, unique being out there destined for us, who completes us. Fully. Totally. We are legitimately half a person, half a soul, until we meet our mate. “We ar

MADDIE POV The Luna is magically designed to be able to absorb the grief and turmoil from the Alpha without it heavying their own heart. They convert the negative energies into peace, love, and acceptance then give that back, positively to both the alpha and the pack, strengthening all that it reaches. Without the ability to let the emotions go, the Alpha spirit tries to absorb it all, but over long periods of time, it makes them go feral. They lose their connection to humanity because the negative energy eats away at the bond between human and wolf. With just three sentences of comfort and empathy, along with one touch, Josh has just removed years of the weight that sits upon my chest. And he doesn’t even know he’s done it. I even feel Infinity sigh in my mind. Just as I feel lighter, so does she. ~Better,~ I hear Infinity say and I almost weep hearing words from her again. ~Hi Fin. Yes, that does feel better,~ I agree with h

MADDIE POV “Yes.” I take a few calming breaths as I load up my plate to overfull and take a big bowl of ramen to my place setting. I smile at Josh’s facial expression of shock as he watches me before he fills his own plate. I may be small, but I can put away the food better than most of my warriors. “It’s the alpha blood in me.” “What’s the alpha blood?” Josh asks as he picks up a tuna roll. Ah, I’m peaking his curiosity again. Good. “My metabolism.” I begin to explain as I pour us both saki. “I can probably eat half of this food, by myself. As wolves we eat an exorbitant about. To shift between human and wolf forms is extremely taxing, on both bodies; it uses a lot of energy. So, we eat many, many, many more calories in a day than a human does. Even more than a professional athlete, such as yourself. But alphas eat even more than the average wolf, because our wolves are so much bigger, so you’ll rarely see me skip meals. I always have a large plate

MADDIE POV I want to shake my head at her pop-culture reference. She loves to read comic books to the pack orphans, especially those who are struggling with their reading comprehension. It is where Dan gets his love of comic books, he was once a pack orphan. Because of that activity, she has a deep knowledge of all the comic book superheroes and villains. Not to mention a comic book collection that rivels even the most obsessive of professional collectors. She even has multiple rare comics signed by Stan Lee himself, the legendary comic book genius. Goddess rest him. “I saw your face and I knew what it meant. It’s not my first rodeo, Alpha. I’ve seen many-a-wolf find their mate in my 75 years of living, including your dad.” I growl out at her use of ‘dad’ to discuss Kent. “Sorry Alpha, I mean… our former alpha.” Bette quickly corrects herself with a head bow in submission. She knows how much I hate that douchebag. “Kent was a bundle of nerves and was

MADDIE POV I close the door to my bedroom, and I lean back against it, breathing heavily. My heart is beating wildly in excited anticipation from his offer of taking a shower together. I can feel Infinity pushing on my wall, trying to encourage me to go to Josh. To join him in the shower and take that next, natural step into intimacy with our mate. It is taking all of my efforts to ignore that feeling. I know he would be up for sex with me, right this minute if I gave him the green light. That’s not in question. However, once we take that leap, our bond will grow. I will be hard-pressed to not mark him, and he will want to be near me. Constantly. It is the natural order of things between fated mates. But if he chooses to not stay with me… if he chooses to reject our bond, having sex beforehand will make it that much harder. On both of us. But fuck! This mate pull is something else. I’ve never felt anything like it. I already want to ignore the logica

JOSH POV Now, I have my first question. “Omegas?” I ask. Maddie smiles at me again. She begins to climb the stairs as she answers me, “Omega is a ranking within wolf shifter packs. It is the lowest rank of wolves. Most packs have an abundance of lower ranking wolves, omegas being the most prolific. They tend to be the worker bees. Landscapers, housekeepers, child care givers, teachers, nurses, and doctors; professions like that who are all about care and repetition, emotional empathy, encouragement and care. They have huge hearts, and it is in theirs’s and their wolves’ natures to be attentive and nurturing to the other pack members. “Omegas are the backbone of most packs, creating most of our workforce. They thrive on being needed and they really do love their work. But there are times I have to really watch them to make sure they don’t overwork themselves. They have a hard time with ending their workdays, especially when they know more tasks are st

JOSH POV I watch Maddie turn and look out over the mini city within her walls. I can see the smirk of pride on her face, telling me she enjoys leading these people as their Alpha. “My pack is named Blue Meadow, after the blue dahlias that naturally grow here. We have been around for a few hundred years. We currently have just over 4500 pack members with another 217 due within the next six months. We’re having a little bit of a baby boom right now. “Unfortunately, we can’t seem to break from that total head count though. We may be booming with babies, but we also have a lot of geriatric members. We seem to lose at least one with every birth. I know it’s silly, the life and death cycle is ever present, but my heart weeps with each loss our pack has. Even if it is a natural death.” Maddie sighs before she continues, and I reach over to offer her comfort by placing my hand on her shoulder. She gently smiles up at me and my heart stops. She is so incredib

MADDIE POV I let my aura out a bit more while I give him a little sass. I’m hoping that by gradually increasing it he won’t react negatively, and he’ll get used to it. I know my aura is strong and while he will feel it, he won’t feel it as much as a wolf would. I’m hoping that also means he won’t cower and submit like a wolf would either. He is my mate, my other half, my equal; I don’t want him submitting to me unless it’s voluntarily or in the bedroom. In public, I want him standing tall, by my side. I tell him to grab his shoes so we can walk to the packhouse together. He wakes from his shocked stupor to retrieve and don his shoes. I watch Josh bend over, and I have to say, I approve of his attire. The jeans hug his ass perfectly and the all-black look works for him, giving off the appropriately sexy ‘tall, dark and handsome’ vibe. I lead him to the main dungeon door which I open with another palm scan. “Fancy security. Is that really necessary to
