MIRIAM

*29 years ago*

Long before I moved to the East Coast, met my mate, and became Luna Jasmine’s mom, I belonged to the Jade Moon Pack. My parents, Luna Catherine and Alpha Bruce, were strict, overbearing, and ruled with iron fists.

At fifteen, I had only two regrets. The first was that I didn’t fully understand how sex worked. I had a vague idea—a male and a female got naked, kissed—but beyond that, things were a little… fuzzy. What exactly happened between kissing and making a baby?

I liked thinking about it sometimes—okay, maybe a lot. And always with someone specific in mind.

Jeremy.

With his long rockstar hair, lean build, and complete disregard for school, he was the kind of boy my parents would disapprove of instantly. Add in his reputation for doing drugs, and he was practically forbidden. But none of that mattered to me. I was one hundred percent in love.

I spent hours daydreaming that we were mates. Because if we were, no one—not even my parents—could keep us apart. The m

    MIRIAM*29 years ago*“What happened was pretty messed up,” Lance said one afternoon, grabbing a snack while I sat at the kitchen table, doing my homework."Just promise me when you're alpha, you won't ever sleep with any of your kids' chemistry partners!" I blurted out. "I'd never be unfaithful to my mate," he replied, taking a seat across from me. "Look, I don't agree with everything Dad does." “You sure had me fooled. You're like his little puppy the way you follow him around." He wrinkled his nose in annoyance. "Do not." I snorted. “Please. When’s the last time you didn’t do exactly what he told you to?”He sighed. “It’s just easier that way. You know how Dad is.”Yeah. I knew.Our dad was brutal, and it was always safer to obey than to push back. Because the alternative was something none of us liked to think about. I’d never had it as bad as Lance, but I knew what it was like to be on the receiving end of our father’s wrath.We sat in silence for a while—him eating, me stari

    THERESAIt had been almost a week since the incident. Nikolai was so stealthy that I barely caught a glance at him during all that time. I rubbed at my mark, fingertips pressing against the sensitive skin. My pulse spiked. Would Nikolai say something? Would he just casually mention it in conversation? Oh yeah, Terri’s mark—A shiver ran down my spine.He probably wouldn’t think twice. Why would he? To him, it wasn’t some dirty secret, something that made my skin crawl every time I thought about it. To him, a mark was a mark. A sign of commitment. Something mates did and didn’t hide. No one else in the world thought getting marked was a secret.“Uggghhhh,” I moaned out loud. I knew you weren’t supposed to worry about things you couldn’t control, but I was in anxiety overload. My stomach had been churning nonstop since he saw it. Every time my mom seemed slightly annoyed or frustrated with me, the hairs on my body stood up, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Every passing comment from

    THERESAOne day, he said we should go to the gym together. At first, I thought that was a great idea. I was always at the gym, and I loved the idea of bonding over a shared hobby. Maybe he’d even be impressed by all the work I’d put in, and the results I’d obtained after years of hard work. But I soon learned the flaw in my thinking.After warming up, we started with bench press. He had me go first. I layered on some weights for a warmup set. Two fifty-pound weights on a forty-five-pound bar. I swiftly did eight reps and let him take his turn.He got through that just fine. I layered on more weights. On my third set, I decided to finally load the bar up to what I normally lift on an 8-rep day, which was 270 pounds. This was pretty standard, if not low, for a male warrior in my weight class, but I knew it was a lot for a female. My expectation was he would be impressed, the same way Tyce and Trav always were when I worked out with them.But I shouldn’t have been so naïve.When he went a

    THERESAA couple days later, my brother Tyce finally returned home with his mate, Gigi. “Tyce!” I screamed as he walked in the door, throwing my arms around him.“Hey, Terr bear,” he replied, messing up my hair as he pulled back from the hug. I pushed his hand off my head and gave him a shove.“Welcome home, Gigi!” I exclaimed to my soon-to-be sister-in-law and pulled her in for an even bigger hug. “Thanks, Terri,” she replied, returning the hug. I didn’t know her well, but I liked Gigi so far. She was good for Tyce. Every time he’d glance her way, a smile would sneak onto his face.As I let go of Gigi, I said, “I feel like I’ve barely had a chance to get to know you. We should hang out tonight, if you’re up for it of course. I know you just got in from a long flight.”“I’d love that,” she replied with a big smile and no hesitation.“Yay! How about we head down to the local pub for dinner instead of staying in?” “Yeah, that would be great!”“You can hold down the fort with the ‘rent

    THERESA “Alpha Nikolai doesn’t talk much though. He’s really standoffish.” Why was Gigi choosing him of all people to talk about tonight? “Well, I can understand,” I responded. “He lost his entire family and most of his pack recently.” Stating it out loud made me tear up a bit. Something about this man. He made it so hard to control my emotions and my hormones. Sometimes I thought I was losing my sanity when he entered my consciousness. “Yeah,” Gigi slumped her shoulders and balanced her head on her hands. “That really sucks. I can’t even imagine.” “Hello!” We both jumped as the waitress popped out of, seemingly, nowhere. “Can I start you off with a drink?” Gigi bit her lip. “I’ll have a Sprite, please.” “Nothing harder?” The waitress winked at her. “I don’t think…” “We’re on pack land. If you look like you could be close to old enough we don’t ask. And, besides, you’re about to be luna.” “With vodka,” Gigi said. “Atta girl! And you, Terr?” “I’ll have the same,” I replied. I

    NIKOLAIExactly twenty of my pack members showed up to warrior training on Friday morning. Half my pack was now makeshift warriors. Before the war, I’d had more than double—fifty of my strongest and bravest men. Now I was left with a random jumble of people that met the only criteria of being between the ages of eighteen and sixty. As they say, for a poor man and a thief, any clothes fit.I let out a breath as I scanned the group. Perhaps Sasha was right, some breeding among the pack wouldn’t hurt. Not that it was a good time for any of us. We were still mourning the loss of our families. We didn’t even have a home yet. We would soon, but it wouldn’t be equipped with electricity or running water when we’d first settle. We’d be living off the land for who knows how much time before we figured it out. The last thing I could imagine was bringing more children into our dire situation. The ones we had now suffered enough.“Okay, warriors!” I shouted, far louder than need be, considering ho

    NIKOLAII took some steadying breaths. At least this was a start. They wouldn’t be shit forever. And what are the chances we’d have to defend ourselves any time soon? We were in another country now, where no one knew of our pack. At the moment, we were protected within the Jade Moon Pack. By the time we’d set out on our own, everyone would be far more trained.But definitely not trained enough.Yep, we were fucked.I entered the storage room to grab the TRX straps I’d seen Tyce’s warriors using on one of the days I’d come in to do my own workouts. Before I’d even taken a couple steps in, I was confronted by that scent—that delicious, sweet, erotic scent that wouldn’t leave my dreams. Without meaning to, I let the door shut behind me. Terri was on her tippy toes trying to reach something up high, but the sound of the door slamming shut distracted her, and she promptly turned to face me.“What are you doing in here?” she asked, and her voice almost seemed accusatory. She placed her hand

    THERESAWhat had just happened? I brought my hand to my racing heart, even though I was well aware the gesture was not going to steady it. I had planned to finish my workout with some ab exercises, but now I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to stick around. Would it be wrong to just take the roller home with me? It wasn’t like I couldn’t just bring it back the next day.That moment between Nikolai and me had been so strange. I couldn’t figure out if he hated me or not. And when we’d touched, the oddest feeling came over me. It was like tingles where our bodies connected. I’d never felt anything like it. My whole body had reacted—an involuntary shiver running down my spine, a rush of warmth spreading from where our skin met. My fingers twitched at my sides as if they wanted to reach for him again, just to see if it would happen a second time. Was I imagining things?He was hot. And he was making my body react in all sorts of unexpected ways. I could still picture his imposing stature. The

    GINGERI ran and leaped, targeting her with my claws. She swiftly ducked and grabbed me by the torso, plucking me out of the air and slamming me onto the large mat underneath us. So much for giving me an advantage.I tried again. This time, I lunged. Fast.Or at least, I thought I was fast.Sara sidestepped me like it was nothing. A blur of motion—before I felt a brutal force against my ribs.My body slammed into the mat, air rushing from my lungs in a painful burst. For a moment, all I saw were stars.“Again,” Sara ordered, pacing around me. “You’re not using your claws enough. You’re letting your opponent dictate the fight. That’s how you get yourself killed.”Gritting my teeth, I scrambled to my feet, forcing my breathing to steady. I had to land at least one good hit. Just one.I pushed forward, snapping my jaws toward her shoulder, but she twisted mid-air, flipping over me before slamming her elbow into my back. My knees buckled, pain shooting through my spine.“Still too slow,”

    GINGERBy the time my final training session with Sara rolled around, I’d—mostly— recovered from what I’d experienced during the previous one. Tyce clearly sensed something was off during the drive, because he kept trying to interlace his hand with mine, but I wouldn’t give.“I’m sure you did amazing for your first torture, Gi,” Tyce tried. “You’d be surprised at how many grown ass men throw up and pass out.”A phantom sound echoed in my mind. The screams. The knife cutting flesh. The smell of blood, thick and metallic, clinging to my nostrils.My stomach turned.Tyce reached for my hand, but I pulled away.“You couldn’t have done any worse than me,” he added.“You were ten!”As soon as I said it, I regretted it. His face darkened, shadows flickering in his eyes.“I’m sorry.” I winced. “That was really insensitive of me to bring up.”“You’re not wrong,” he replied softly.I exhaled, searching for the right words. “I guess… I just feel so behind. All those years I didn’t have a wolf, I

    JULIA*29 years ago*The day after the incident, I made sure to wear my tightest, lowest-cut black dress to dinner. Even Gabe’s father, who otherwise loathed my existence, couldn’t help his eyes as they skimmed the tops of my breasts.Gabe clearly noticed, because at one point, during the meal, he leaned in, gripping my wrist under the table. “What are you wearing?” he hissed, his voice barely audible over the clink of silverware.“What?” I fluttered my eyelashes and acted dumb. “Is there something wrong?”He scowled but said nothing else, though his tension was palpable. Across the table, Lance’s sharp gaze found mine. Unlike his father or Gabe, his attention wasn’t rooted in lust. His eyes narrowed, assessing me, silently questioning me. I met his stare with a shrug and resumed eating, unbothered.After dinner, Gabe, as usual, whisked me up to his bedroom. I went through the usual motions, stroking his ego and his dick. I excused myself at the earliest I could. I had big plans, and

    THERESAI’d spent my whole life under the weight of constant criticism and impossibly high expectations from my parents, never stopping to think how deeply it affected me. Of course I had stayed. It felt familiar.My breath hitched. “I never even realized…”Maybe that same crude judgment was what had drawn me to my ex in the first place—without me even recognizing it. It was why I felt so at ease around him, why his behavior hurt but never felt out of place.I let out a deep breath. For the first time in months, the idea of forgiving myself felt possible. But I was too exhausted to unravel all the complex thoughts that had suddenly formed.Instead, I glanced at Kolya and smiled faintly. “You still owe me an answer to a question.”He raised his eyebrows but didn’t speak.“What is the Russian pack after? Why did they go to war with you?”His muscles stiffened against my body and he pinched his lips together.“You promised,” I reminded him.With a resigned sigh, he sat up and crossed his

    THERESA“I know you probably think I’m stupid for not breaking up with him sooner. I guess a part of me cared about him. He’d had a tough life—his parents were chosen mates, not fated ones, and they fought constantly. When he was a kid, it sometimes got so bad that they’d forget to feed him. He didn’t have many friends either. Really, his only friend was that warrior I mentioned before, and even that friendship wasn’t a close one.”Desperate to justify myself, I added, “If I’m being fair, not everything was bad. Some things were good—really good. We’d have times where we’d just hang out and talk, and he could actually be sweet. Those moments made it harder to walk away.“Sometime in early August, I told him I was ready to have sex.” Kolya tensed beside me. “We did it one afternoon while his parents were at work. It was horrible. One of the worst experiences of my life. He was so nervous that he couldn’t get it up, and he took it out on me. He kept being mean, blaming me. I can’t even

    THERESAI shook my head, pushing the thoughts away, and then continued. “Everything changed this past spring. I came home for summer break after my sophomore year of college. By then, I’d mostly gotten used to the idea that I’d stay a virgin until I met my mate. And then... I met him. My now-ex.”My mood darkened at the thought. Kolya seemed to sense it, as he gave my upper arm a squeeze.“Honestly, I didn’t even like him at first. He was a friend of a friend of a friend. My friend Kaylynn had a crush on this warrior who she invited to a party she was throwing. He had duty and couldn’t make it, but he asked her to invite one of his friends in his place that he said was kind of a loner. Said he was trying to get him to meet more people. And Kaylynn, of course, agreed.“We were all just sort of hanging out. I’d made some silly joke, teasing him in a flirting sort of way. And instead of laughing, he flipped me off. I don’t even remember what I said, but I’m sure it wasn’t anything that r

    THERESAI stirred awake, blinking against the lamp light. Had I fallen asleep? I glanced upward to find a pair of silver eyes meeting mine.“Oh, shoot! Sorry. I didn’t mean to fall asleep.” I stammered, scrambling to get up. Gosh, last thing I needed was for him to think that I believed this to be a relationship where we spent the night together and stuff. Moreover, my family was likely getting back soon, and it was in my best interest to scram before they figured us out.As I sat up, readying to grab my clothes and get out of his way so he could leave, his hand closed gently around my wrist. “Wait.”I glanced back at him, searching his face for a clue to his thoughts. As usual, his expression was unreadable.“Would it be wrong to want to spend a little more time with you?” he asked.“Oh,” I replied, caught off guard.“When we can speak to each other,” he added.I blinked, then smiled faintly, the tension in my shoulders easing. “Look who wants to talk all of a sudden,” I teased, play

    NIKOLAIWhen she finally lifted herself, and lined her entrance up with my cock, I was a goner. Any other misgivings I may have had were wiped from my consciousness.I let out a deep, appreciative moan as she lowered herself onto me in a slow grind, rocking her hips to allow each bit of my length to methodically enter her. The inner walls of her pussy clench around me. My hands dug into her thighs in reaction. I couldn’t believe such a beautiful angel was allowing me inside her, packing every inch of me into her. She continued to slowly and carefully lift and lower herself onto me until she was filled to the hilt.“Fuuuuck, you feel so good!” I cried out.She smirked and lifted her arms over her head, elevating and emphasizing her sporty, pert breasts. I couldn’t take my eyes off them as they bounced with every movement. Using only her thick, well-muscled lower body, she easily slid up and down the length of my cock, impressing me with her display of athleticism.I wrapped my large ha

    NIKOLAIBefore long, Terri’s legs were shuddering against my cheeks, her nails were digging into my scalp, and her moans were echoing off every surface of her bedroom. I ate her as if this were my last meal. Her moans turned to a euphoric scream, her thighs trembled against my ears, and I drew every bit of orgasm I could out of her. When I finally withdrew my mouth, she was left panting and limping, finally collapsing into her bed. “Wow!” she said, as she spread out in a starfish position. “You’re amazing at that.”Pride radiated throughout my body. My shoulders straightened in pleasure, basking in the vision of her rosy, glowy skin, the rise and fall of her chest as she caught her breath, and satisfaction on her face. I couldn’t help myself from climbing into bed with her, pulling her into my arms, and nuzzling against her neck to inhale her sweet, musky scent, now ripe from the day and what had just gone down.I jolted; a surge of shock coursing through me at the sudden touch of he
