JASMINE

On Saturday morning, I was looking through some reports on the casino, upstairs in my office, when I recalled that Blake had recently printed out the PowerPoint slides from a presentation we'd been given earlier that week. He had taken some handwritten notes and I wanted to make sure I took them into consideration before I responded to the CEO's email that was awaiting a reply, so I descended the stairs to go find them in his office.

As I approached, I noticed the door was slightly ajar with light trickling into the hallway, and voices in a passionate conversation, possibly an argument. Curiosity getting the best of me, I snuck closer so I could better hear what was going on.

"Fucking Artemis, Lucy, now is not the time. Blake could come back any second. Put your clothes back on."

"C'mon, Luke, don't you think it's time we get started on the beta heir? You know the pack's going to be expecting one now." It was quiet for a moment and then Lucy's voice continued, "That's right, b

    GINGER The morning after the sisters' potluck disaster, I woke up to find the house empty. Paige was nowhere to be found. I figured she must have had Saturday duty along with my dad. My mom also wasn’t home, and the family car was gone. I breathed out a happy sigh. It was nice when I got the house to myself. I could just wallow in my misery alone without anyone bothering me. I spent the entire morning and early afternoon in the backyard, laying out in the sun while reading and listening to music. The sun was bright without a cloud in sight—the perfect day to sunbathe. I knew I'd regret it later since my fair skin didn't take well to the sun. But my sunburns eventually faded into tans, so I suffered through it. Around mid-afternoon, a group text came in from Lucy, with a bunch of phone numbers included I didn't know. Lucy: Club tonight! Packhouse 10 sharp! I was going to ignore the text at first, but then, I thought, it would be nice to get out and ignore my problems. I double-che

    GINGER By the time nine o'clock had rolled around, Paige still wasn't home. I quickly shot her a text to make sure she was okay. I then showered, noting my skin did not take well to the sun at all and it would definitely be peeling soon, only adding to the injuries to my body that I'd need to cover. Pretty soon my only option was going to be a full-on burqa. I made sure to keep the water cool in order not to scald myself. I tried to put a bra on and found it painful when parts of it would touch the skin my bikini hadn't covered. It was becoming quite clear what a bad idea it was to go clubbing that night as I'd also have to cover my legs and arms. I hadn't thought this through fully. But I had already committed to go and didn't want to back out now. In the end, I pulled on some fishnet stockings, and wrapped a scarf creatively around my stitches, thinking maybe I could set a new trend, chuckling to myself. On top, I had on a pair of black shorts, and a long-sleeve blouse with loose

    GINGER I didn't know what I was expecting when we stepped out of that room, and part of me probably should have expected what I witnessed, but it was still quite shocking. Lucy was completely sloshed—especially considering she was a werewolf. If I didn't know better, I'd think she was one of my college friends rather than a beta's mate. She was grinding up on all the guys that had come with us, wobbly on her feet, practically falling over as she flung her body against theirs. One of them took a bottle of beer and started pouring it from above into her mouth while everyone looked on cheering. "Oh, fuck," Tyce shouted next to me, and headed toward the group. "Alpha Tyce!" Lucy yelled so loudly I could hear her over the music. "Pour some more in my mouth." I couldn't hear what was said after that, but I watched as Tyce clearly tried to persuade her to go with him. There was a struggle between the two of them as he put his arm around her shoulders, and she pushed him away from her. It

    GINGER Tyce helped Lucy into the backseat, where she laid down, and the valet opened the passenger door for me so I could get in. Most of the way back to the pack was pretty quiet. Tyce played music on low and Lucy was soon passed out sleeping. As we pulled into the packhouse driveway, Tyce took my hand in his and asked, "Would you want to hang out a bit longer before I take you home?" I nodded. He gave me a big smile and said, "Great! Let me just get rid of Lucy. Wait here." Not long after, Tyce came out with a tired-looking Beta Luke. They opened the back door, and Beta Luke peaked into the car. "Alright, Lucy, let's go." "Lukey!" She stirred from the back. "How much did you drink?" He asked, scrunching his nose. "I was just having some fun, baby!" She replied, getting up and stumbling as she tried to climb out of the car. Luke easily caught her, pulling her up by her arms. Luke heaved a sigh. "Okay, let's go inside." I watched as he practically carried her back toward the pack

    JASMINE "It hurts, baby. Everything hurts," Lucy whined to Luke from the living room couch, wrapped in a robe with sunglasses on. Blake and I were in the dining room having breakfast, overhearing the whole conversation between the two of them. "How much did you drink last night that you were actually able to get a hangover?" Luke looked her up and down. "I dunno. A lot. A lot!" "Clearly." "Can't you do something, baby?" "I've never had a hangover, so I don't even know how to fix one. Where's Libby?" "My mom will be bringing her over soon. Can you watch her today, baby? I'm in so much pain and the nanny doesn't come on Sundays." "Lucy, I have work to do today. I don't get days off like everyone else." "Please, Lukey?" She whined, giving him puppy eyes. He let out a deep sigh and said, "Fine. I'll be back to watch her." He then opened the glass door and stomped outside before Lucy could even thank him. "Jasmine, Blake. Can you get me some coffee and painkillers?" Lucy called

    JASMINEWhen it was time to attend temple service, Lucy had finally recovered and made herself presentable. I was impressed with how well she'd managed to clean up from how she'd looked that morning. She had a cute summer dress on and her long blonde hair was freshly washed and glossy. Libby was dressed in a matching outfit. If I didn't know better, I'd think Lucy and Libby were the perfect mom and daughter duo—possibly Instagram influencers with a huge following.As a fun little surprise for after the service, I'd arranged an ice cream social with some of the other women that were heavily involved with the temple. Lucy reluctantly agreed to help out last minute. I assumed it had something to do with her talk with Luke. We got there early to begin setting everything up to make it easy to roll out once the surprise was announced. Lucy was shockingly helpful, working efficiently to pull everything together, likely well practiced from working in pastry for the past few years."Did you se

    GINGER "Where were you yesterday?" I asked Paige when she got home from patrol duty on late Sunday afternoon. "I went into heat again." "Damn. Where'd you go?" I asked. "Hotel again. If this keeps going on like this, I have a feeling the hotel staff are going to get to know us a little too well." Paige shook her head. "Don't get me wrong—not that I have much to compare it to—but the sex is incredible when I'm in heat—" "Incredible how?" I asked, curious to learn more. She blushed. "Goddess, I can't tell you, Gigi." "I tell you all the time!" "I know, but don’t you think it's weird that we're sisters and share the info with each other?" "No. I want to know." I pushed Paige's shoulder. She sighed and smiled to herself. "You're dying to tell someone, I can tell." I giggled. "And you know you're never going to tell anyone else. So tell me!" "Okay, fine." Paige stuck her tongue out and smiled playfully. "It's just like, we're so perfectly in sync. It's like we know what the oth

    GINGERWe were all surprised when some of the ladies that were heavily involved with the temple wheeled out a buffet of large tubs of Ben & Jerry's ice cream and toppings, scoopers ready. Jasmine went up to the podium and announced that they were throwing an ice cream social for us. My whole family got in line, and I was delighted to see that they had a few fun flavors to choose from rather than just plain vanilla and chocolate. I got the Chunky Monkey and Paige got the Gimme S'more and we agreed to share so we could try each other's.They opened the back door, and soon everyone was spilling out into the garden. Paige and I took a seat on a bench and scooped out of each other's ice cream cups. I noted Heidi stayed close to our parents instead, which I was thankful for. She still boiled my blood every time I looked at her.After some time, Jasmine came by. I got up so she could sit."No, no, it's fine! I don't mind standing. Please sit." Jasmine waved her hand."You're too nice, Jaz."

    THERESA The excitement in the air was palpable. The whole pack had gathered on the airplane runway. This was the one part of the pack that was consistently plowed so that we’d continue to receive food and supplies throughout the harsh winters after we gave up on plowing everything else, especially the roads that lead to the main highway. It was how I was able to get back and forth from school during the holidays. Full moon runs were a long-time tradition of our pack’s and one of my favorite celebrations during the long, cold, sunless winters. Even when seasonal depression tried to sink its way into my bones and pull my spirit away, these runs tended to give me the adrenaline I needed to keep going. There was something magical about an entire community coming together to expel all their energy in the wilderness, and then subsequently feast together on the kill we’d contributed to the celebration. My heart was full of gratitude in knowing that no matter how tough things got, this pac

    TYSON‘Twas several nights after the winter solstice (and one night after Christmas) when all through the packhouse, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. And thank the Goddess for that, because we weren’t really big fans of mice around here. At least I wasn’t. Although, I had come to warm up to rats… well, some very specific pet rats. Other than that, still wasn’t a big fan.But you know what I was a fan of? T&A, especially when that T&A was attached to my perfect, voluptuous, thick AF fiancée and mate. My mate that was very conspicuously missing from my bed. I had gotten used to having her warm body next to mine every night, and every inch of my skin was practically tingling with the loss of her. Because her family was very religious, it had been decided that we would stay in separate housing situations during the duration of our trip to her old pack. She at her parents’ home, and I at the packhouse of my ally, the Midnight Maple Pack.I knew she planned to go back to school

    GINGER“Okay, I really thought the people out tonight wouldn’t be so… old,” Lucy said.I sighed but figured I should just make the best of it. Maybe once I got back to Alaska I could meet some friends that knew how to party for real. Not that there were many places to go out in the middle of nowhere where I lived. And it was so strictly conservative too. More so than the pack I’d grown up in, which was saying something.“Here, take these!” Lucy handed Paige and me fake IDs that, as usual, looked nothing like us. She then draped about a pound of penis necklaces on everyone.We all marched in, and everyone’s eyes instantly went to us. Lucy made a beeline for the bar and started ordering us drinks before anyone could protest. I followed her, excited to get my drink on. The bar was playing my favorite Mariah Carey Christmas song, and I was ready to start dancing.After we all had our drinks in hand, an older man with a grey beard asked, “What is this all about? A birthday?”I blinked a few

    GINGERMy twin sister Paige finished twisting the last bit of my hair around her curling wand and sprayed it down with hairspray. "I miss this." She let out a deep sigh, sitting back on her heels, her body collapsing a bit. We had gathered on the floor of her bedroom while getting ready for the evening—the bedroom that wouldn’t be hers much longer. She would be the last to flee the coop, leaving our parents to an empty nest—something our mother couldn’t stop being melodramatic about. Her wedding was in a matter of days, which was the reason I had flown back to Vermont with my mate Tyce."It's not that much different from when I was in school," I replied, my stomach squeezing a bit, but needing to put a positive spin on our situation."Yeah, but you were at least home for the entire summer then. Now I'll probably only see you a week a year or something like that."Nonchalantly, I blurted, "Maybe the family can move to Alaska." At first, I meant it as an offhand remark that I knew wasn’t

    NIKOLAI"Za zdarovye," Sasha and I toasted each other, and I took a gulp of the vodka. After piling our kill in a shed the pack had for exactly that, he invited me over to the beta wing of the packhouse to throw back a few."Not bad, eh?" he asked."Not bad," I replied.He gave my shoulder a shake. "Hey, Volkov, loosen up. Life's getting better. We're free now."I grunted.Sasha was my good friend going back to when we were pups. People had always remarked we could pass for brothers. They clearly lacked keen eyes. Sure, we both sported thick blond hair and tall frames—although I had at least a good ten centimeters on him—our facial shapes were much different. His was more rotund, and his cheeks constantly reddened with emotion.My features were far sharper, and hardened, and had become even more so in the past year. At times, I looked in the mirror, and I saw my late father staring back at me. His ghost haunted me from the beyond, shaping my features to mimic the forehead furrows, life

    NIKOLAIForty. That's how many pack members were left in Severnaya Zvezda Pack, including me. A nice, even forty. Our pack had never been particularly large. As opposed to some packs in Russia and other post-Soviet states, where numbers could climb to ten thousand, ours had always maintained a balance of around a thousand. Now only scraps remained of what we had been.After months of coordinating with my late beta’s aunt, Julia Tikaani (née Yulia Vovchenko), we had finally arrived at her pack. When we first fled our war-torn home, we traveled in our wolf forms, carrying only what we could carry as we crossed into Moldova. From there, it took nearly three days by air to reach Alaska.We had left just about everything behind, and a sliver of hope remained.As generous as Luna Yulia’s invitation was, we couldn’t depend on her hospitality forever. Our pack needed stability—a place to truly call home. With my newly elected beta, Sasha, at my side—a man as ruthless in battle as I was—I set o

    Author's Note: Several characters in this book are native Russian speakers. To avoid repetitive clarifications throughout the text, assume the following:If a conversation takes place between characters who are native Russian speakers, they are speaking in Russian unless otherwise stated.If a conversation includes one or more native English speakers, it is in English unless otherwise indicated.This approach allows for a more seamless reading experience while maintaining linguistic authenticity.***THERESAHalf-full. Between the two options, that’s the perspective I preferred. It’s not that bad things never happened—I was only mortal after all. But attitude was everything. And a good attitude was particularly important at that very moment as the crushing weight of a sandbag dug into my shoulders, snow crunched under my winter hiking boots, and wind cut at the exposed sliver of skin between my gaiter and hat. I climbed, each step more precarious than the last on the icy slope."Faster

  • Wolfborn   Epilogue

    TRIGGER WARNING: This final scene contains torture and is not recommended to the squeamish. It is not necessary to the plot of the book and was only added to give readers some satisfaction with tying up some loose ends. --- TYSON I picked up my ringing phone. "Sara caught the culprits," Trav said, not even bothering to say hello. "Damn," I replied. "She's already tortured them, but offered to let you finish them off. You know, for pack alliance reasons." "I have a feeling that allowing someone else to do the final deed is a gift of generosity in her eyes." I chuckled to myself. Trav's mate was something else. But I'd be damned if I didn't want to watch the motherfuckers that killed my grandfather take their final breaths. Before I hung up, I asked, "Can I bring Dad?" "Obviously that's still a bit of a touchy subject but…" his voice trailed. "But you know that Dad, more than anyone, would want to be the one that does it." I finished his sentence for him. Trav let out a breath.

    *Three weeks later* GINGER "Goddess, it's been such a long week!" I flopped onto the bed after showering and throwing on some sweats on a Saturday night in late October. "Your alpha schedule is no joke," I griped to Tyce. "I'm ready to go to bed now." "Do you think you could stay awake for a little bit longer?" He came over and sat on the bed. "Because I have a surprise that just came today." "A surprise? Have I been so busy that I didn't even realize it's my birthday already?" I joked. "It's a 'just because' kind of surprise." "Goddess, stop, Tyce. I can't do all this sweetness. I need a dentist! I think I'm getting cavities." "Okay, the surprise isn't really for you. It's for Splinter anyway. Are you ready for me to bring it in?" "Well, if it's not for me, you should ask Splinter," I teased. "Splinter already said he's ready." "Okay, rat whisperer." Tyce gave me a cute little smile that made my stomach flip-flop. Fuck, why did he affect me so much? Even though we'd now bee
