It was right under his nose, but Everly was right, there was something preventing him from finding it. He had picked up on Everly’s scent, and then, it was the pull of her mark that had eventually led him to this place. “Did I ruin your plans for this evening?”
“No, I just wish your timing wasn’t so… typical,” he muttered.
Jack had no idea what that meant, but he knew he couldn’t trust the bastard. He’d shifted and gotten dressed before he’d come to knock on the door. Knocking was easier with hands for one thing, and for another, if this was the wrong cabin, it would be better to be in his human form so he’d be less likely to get shot. He was still covered in mud, sweat, and blood, but at least he was here. Finally.
“Jack!” Everly said, stepping around Slate who seemed to be baring th

Everly didn’t tell Jack about her mother while they were eating stew. There was just too much tension at the table between Jack and Slate, and she didn’t want to tell him the good news while the two of them were staring each other down.Margot didn’t say anything either. She just sat at the table between them and ate. Everly’s eyes darted from one face to another, but no one was really saying anything at all, and it was extremely awkward.So… she finished her stew and offered to do the dishes.“No, that’s okay, honey,” Margot said. “I’ll do them myself. I’m very particular about it, and you’ve got to be tired, anyway. Why don’t you go take a shower? I suppose you and Jack can share a room, but I would appreciate it if there was no hanky panky under my roof. Not that it should matter much as exhausted as you both are.”Everly’s eyes widened as she looked at Jack. She felt he

“Slate?” Everly said, her eyes wide even though she’d been almost asleep a few minutes ago. “What are you doing here?” She wanted to add, if Jack found him here, he’d pound him into the ground, or try, and she really wasn’t in the mood for a huge fight at the moment.“Sorry, Everly,” he said. “I couldn’t sleep. I needed to talk to you about something.”“Well, I could sleep,” she said. “It can’t wait until morning?”He ran a hand through his unruly blond hair, making it fall over his dark eyes. He had taken a shower, and the scent of soap wafted to her nostrils, but he hadn’t shaved, and the thought that if she reached over and grazed his cheek, she was likely to cut her hand crossed her mind. “It can’t wait, Ev.”Letting out a loud sigh, she moved aside and let him in.Slate entered and closed the door behind him. They were treading o

As the two men came at one another, Everly was forced to forge the fact that she was almost asleep just a few minutes ago and to move to get between them. “Jack!” she shouted. “Knock it off! We were just talking!”“Just talking?” he repeated. “It’s funny that he’s sitting on your bed while the two of you are just talking.”“Oh, you’ve got a lot of nerve coming in here, after you’re questioning her and everything we’ve found out since we’ve gotten here!” Slate shouted, attempting to get around Everly’s arm to reach Jack.“I’m trying to protect her, and you’re the one who is helping fill her head with ridiculous lies!” Jack was just as adamant that he was getting to Slate as well.Everly considered just moving out of the way and letting them finally hash it out the way that guys preferred to do, but she thought she might need at least one of

The next morning, Everly’s head hurt, and the sun seemed too bright, but then she remembered where she was and what was supposed to happen that day.Sitting up in the unfamiliar bed, she blinked a few times and slid out so that her feet were on the floor.She was already dressed since the clothing Margot had given her were sweats and a T-shirt. She knew that Alyson had sent an outfit for her as well and thought maybe she’d change into that.What was a person supposed to wear when they saw their mom again for the first time in eleven years?She used the bathroom, brushed her teeth with the toothbrush Margot had given her, and headed out into the living room to see if the guys were up. She expected Jack to be because he always got up before her, but if he was awake, he was still in the bedroom.Only Margot was up. She was taking care of the fireplace, something she’d have to do since she was a human. It hadn’t even occurred to Everly th
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 126: It's Really You
Standing in the living room of a cabin in the middle of the woods in Montana near the mountains, a place she’d only been a few hours and had never heard of before the night before, Everly stared into the eyes of a woman she hadn’t seen in eleven years.A woman she’d thought was dead.A woman she never, ever expected to see again.“Oh, hi,” Chelsea said, coming into the living room. “I’m sorry. I was looking for Margot. I guess she’s not in from her chores yet.”So… she didn’t recognize her.Everly had thought maybe she had because of the way her mouth was hanging open when she’d turned around, but perhaps she was just surprised to see two teenagers in Margot’s living room.“She’s out taking care of the cows and chickens,” Everly said, her voice sounding robotic.“It’s probably harder given the snow,” Chelsea said with a little chuckle.

“Other werewolves?” Everly stared at her mother, not sure what in the world she was talking about. “Margot said you were the only one around here that she was helping.”“Yeah, that’s right,” Chelsea said. “I’m the only one in the immediate area, but there are others within a few hours.”“But… how?” Everly asked. “The council didn’t find out about them?”Chelsea shook her head. “No, in a lot of cases, they came from one person who was spared by someone like Margot who then wanted a family and ended up… making one.”Everly’s eyes widened. She couldn’t believe anyone would do something like that.“But how would they be able to help us?” Jack asked. “They can only shift into their wolves during a full moon, and that won’t be for another month.”Chelsea stared at him for a long moment and then chuckled.

“What do you mean he’s my mate?” Everly asked her mother. Everyone kept telling her that Slate was her mate, like he was carrying a sign that said, “Everly and I are meant to be together forever,” and she was the only one in the universe that couldn’t see it.How the hell did everyone else seem to know that she was supposed to be with Slate and not Jack? And why would she even have a fated mate if she was born a human? None of this was making a whole lot of sense to her. But then… she was walking through the woods next to her dead mother who wasn’t dead but was a werewolf, and she herself was capable of turning into a wolf anytime she wanted to, so maybe they were beyond what could make sense at this point.“I can just tell,” Chelsea said. “You both have the same scent, for one thing.”Everly scrunched her nose up. “What’s that now?” She imagined everyone sniffing her armpits an
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 129: Fight for Everly
Slate’s mere presence was enough to drive Jack insane, but the moment that he was alone in Margot’s living room with the Nachtwolf, Jack was ready to toss him out on his haunches.When Slate started telling him how wrong he was for doubting Everly when she said that her mother was there, Jack wasn’t about to listen to him spouting off for more than half a second.Now, the two of them were squaring off against one another in Margot’s back yard.At least they’d managed to wait until they’d gotten outside to shift so they hadn’t torn up the old woman’s house.As much as Slate wanted to pretend that he was the perfect young man with the nice manners and Jack was the bad guy, that was all a bunch of bullshit, and eventually, he thought Everly’s mother and everyone else would see right through it. He’d wanted to fight Jack in the living room.In their wolf forms, Jack and Slate squared off against one ano

Everly carefully made her way down the stairs toward Jack’s living room, holding on tight to the railing. The heels she was wearing were a lot higher than what she was used to, but Alyson insisted she should wear them because they looked perfect with the sapphire blue dress she was wearing. While Everly loved the tight, strapless, sequined dress, she wasn’t sure that the silver heels looked all that great.They’d look a lot worse if she fell down the stairs and broke her neck because of them…. But then, she was a shifter now, so her coordination should be better.That didn’t make her feel any less shaky on the shoes.When she got about three-fourths of the way down, she heard a loud exhale and managed to pull her eyes away from the next step long enough to look at Jack.Her heart skipped a beat, seeing him standing there by the front door with a pink corsage in his hand, wearing a perfectly-fitted suit with a tie that matched her dress. His eyes were wide, and his mouth was slightly a
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 154: Moving Forward
Pain radiated throughout Jack’s chest and back as he felt himself slowly being dragged back to reality. His thoughts were cloudy as he tried to remember exactly what had happened. The last thing he remembered, he was running through the forest toward the sounds of fighting, looking for Everly.The next thing he knew, he was lying on the ground, blood everywhere, trying to breathe through the most unbelievable pain he’d ever experienced in his entire life.“Come on, Jack!” he heard a somewhat familiar voice telling him. “Go ahead and open your eyes, Jack. Let us know that you can hear us.”It was a struggle, but the realization that he didn’t know where Everly was or if she was okay made him will his eyes open. Blinking a few times, Jack looked at the concerned faces around him and tried to piece everything together.He was surrounded by people who looked like they were about to cry, except for Jamie, the healer. She was concerned, but not tearful.He’d seen Everly, though, so he force
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 153: No Cousin of Mine
Not long ago, watching Jack die wouldn’t have been that big of a deal to Slate. In fact, he probably would’ve just shrugged about it and made some remarks like, “Too bad. He was so young.” But now that he realized that Alyson was his fated mate, Slate felt compelled to find someone to help the guy he’d wanted to tear limb from limb all by himself only a few days ago.Tearing through the woods, he used his mind-link capability to reach out to anyone from his pack to see if they knew where any healers were. Unfortunately, everyone was either too far away to hear him or they were too busy to respond.He darted through a thick wooded area and came around a large pine tree to see a wide meadow full of velvety green grass glowing in the silvery moonlight.And on the other side of it, he saw a familiar wolf loping along, following his nose.It wasn’t one of the healers he was looking for, though.No, it was someone who shouldn&rs
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 152: Mage to the Rescue
The smile on Everly’s face was there despite the pain at seeing Lexi show up right behind Maura as she was in the process of tormenting her. Maura might’ve thought it was fun prolonging her death, but just like the villain in every James Bond movie, she was about to find out what happened when you didn’t kill your enemy right away.“What’s wrong with your face, Everly?” Maura had asked her, but Everly didn’t get a chance to answer before it was Maura’s face that was suddenly messed up.Lexi hit her from behind with a strong beam of magic. It was so powerful that Everly could actually see it glowing and lighting up the forest. When it hit the cheerleader in the back, Maura’s eyes bulged, and her body stiffened, her back arching as she tried to figure out exactly what was happening and how to make the pain stop.Immediately, the agony that had been coursing through Everly’s body faded as Maura was too dis

Hands would’ve been a great thing to have at the moment, but Everly only had paws. She looked around and saw that her dad had the backpack, so theoretically, she could go shift and get dressed quickly, but her back hurt so bad, she didn’t know if she could get all of that done.Jim was already trying to stop the blood that was flowing like a river out of Jack’s chest and back. “I’m so sorry,” he kept saying. “I was just trying to protect you, Everly.”She couldn’t respond to her father, what with him being a human and her being a wolf, but she knew it wasn’t on purpose.That wouldn’t matter if Jack died.Behind her, she heard the sound of rocks and tree branches sliding down the side of the ravine as Alyson and Slate came flying down behind them.“What happened?” Alyson asked, using the mind-link. “We thought we heard—” Her eyes landed on Jack and her countenance
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 150: Catastrophe
Every inch of Everly’s body ached, but she knew she had to push herself up off of the ground and get out of there.If that wolf were to come back, he would kill her, and she’d fought too hard to die now.Pushing up off of the ground, Everly tried to get her feet beneath her. The ache in her back was blindingly painful. She thought she might pass out from the pain. Could she have injured her spine when she hit that tree trunk upon her descent?She didn’t know, but she had to ignore the pain and move.Everly took a few careful steps, trying to get her bearings. She knew that Jack and her mother were up on top of the hill. But it was so far away from where she was now, she couldn’t even hear them fighting.Climbing back up the steep ravine would be nearly impossible in her current state.Instead, she’d need to find another way to walk to get back to someone who could help her.If only she had her cell phone&
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 149: After Her
The black wolf Jack was fighting was strong, and though he had spent a lot of time training and sparing with other wolves in his pack… he’d never actually fought anyone with the intent to kill them.But… at the moment, he had no choice. If he didn’t try to kill the wolf that was scratching at him with his long claws, trying to knock Jack backward so that he could sink his long fangs into his neck, then that wolf would finish him off without a second thought, and Jack couldn’t let that happen.Next to him, Slate didn’t seem to have any problem whatsoever going in for a kill shot. Out of the corner of his eye, Jack could see Slate knock the smaller male he was fighting onto his backside and then chomp down on the sensitive area between his neck and shoulder. Within a few seconds, the wolf stopped moving, and Slate stood up, looking for the next wolf to take on.Jack didn’t have time to survey the area as he needed to pin this
The Wolf Girl and Her Alpha Mate Chapter 148: The Battle Begins
Running through the forest with Jack on one side and her mother on the other, Everly felt a nervous tension building inside of her. Knowing that Jack and her mother had vowed to protect her was one thing, but that didn’t mean that she wouldn’t end up in a situation where she’d be forced to protect herself.And she was pretty sure she wasn’t capable of that.After all, she wasn’t exactly an athletic human to begin with. Now that she was a wolf, that hadn’t changed. These other shifters had been training for this their whole lives, so they knew exactly what to do while they were fighting. And the werewolves were so vicious, they instinctively knew exactly what to do to make sure that they could handle anyone who was stupid enough to challenge them.But Everly felt just about as vulnerable as her dad. At least he had brought a gun. He was riding on her mother’s back right now, and Everly made a point not to look directly into Jim

“He was at the party?” Everly repeated what Su said. “Slate was at the party where you were turned into a werewolf?”Su’s head bobbed up and down again. “That’s right. He was with the guy that bit me.”“You’re sure it wasn’t him though, right?” Everly asked as she felt Jack tense up beside her.“Oh, yeah. I’m sure it wasn’t him. But still… it’s weird to see someone who knows about all of this. He was with the guy when he was telling me about what happened and telling me that I was in huge trouble and I was going to have to do something.”Everly couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Slate had gone through this before. “Slate!” she shouted, and he looked up.His eyes flickered to Everly’s face, and then they went to Su’s, and they widened. Even from across the yard, Everly could read his lips, “Oh, shit.”
