Maverick

The lights of the bar I was sitting in were dim and comforting to my eyes and soul. I always liked the darkness of night compared to the light of day. I guess that’s why I chose to be more nocturnal and work at night instead of being normal. My new line of work was perfect for me, considering I had to be a thief in the night.

I was perched on a barstool leaning against the bar next to my best friend, Oliver. We had been stuck to each other's hips since we met in the third grade. I wouldn’t trade him for the best horse in the world, or all the money I could possibly spend. He was good to me and was always there when I needed him. Some might say that he follows me around like a love-sick puppy, and I’ve had my suspicions about it for some time now.

Oliver was as tall as me but had a slender build compared to me. He had super blonde hair to go with his deep blue eyes. He was charming with the ladies but not very honest with the

    Jacob I jolted awake in my bed with my phone already in my hand. My alarm went off, telling me that it was morning, so I quickly turned it off and relaxed a little. I looked to make sure I was up for work on time and noticed that I had a text from Maggie. I unlocked my phone and went to her messages. I looked at the time stamp and saw that it was from late last night. Maggie had texted me super late. I looked to see that she was telling me goodnight and I felt bad that I wasn’t awake to respond. I texted her back saying, "sorry, I passed out on you. Good morning." I got up and got dressed for the day in blue jeans and a black T-shirt as usual. I moved to the kitchen and started the coffee pot, then made my breakfast. Once the coffee pot was finished, I made my cup and took a sip before humming at the feeling of sunshine going down my throat and into my stomach to wake my body for the day. I finished making my breakfast and loaded my plate before sitting at the bar in the

    Maggie I was done with everything that I needed to do today and was bored as hell. I cleaned the house and organized my closet before running some errands around the pack town. Here at Sandstone, we had our own little grocery store and we needed a few things from there. Normally, after getting chores done, I would sit and read in the nook in my room, but I was too restless to do that today. I grabbed my latest reading material and sighed while looking at the cover. It was a great book, but I just wasn’t feeling it today. I set it back down and looked out my window, longing to be that brave woman and just run off. I sat in the nook and opened the window to let the breeze blow into my face as I thought about Jacob. Messaging him and learning about him these past few days has been great. Though just the texts and phone calls weren’t enough for either of us. We both wanted and needed more. He wanted to see me again and I wanted that too. I knew that he was currently at

    Jacob When one of the warriors mind-linked me that Maggie was at the east fence of Wolfe Ranch looking for me, I could hardly believe it. I had learned through our conversations so far that she was a goody-two-shoes, so her going against Bennett’s wishes just to see me was a surprise. I might be surprised by her, but damn, I was happy. I rode out there quickly and got her on the back of Roscoe with me. With her arms wrapped around me, I smiled at the new sense of peace. It was so amazing and something so new to have a she-wolf to call my own and to have her with me at the moment. When we got to the farmhouse, I had her get off Roscoe first, then I dismounted. I tied him to the hitching post with mom, dad, and Ivy’s horses before I took Maggie's hand in mine. The contact of our skin put a smile on my face and warmed my heart. It was incredible to feel sparks and warmth from a touch when I had never experienced that anywhere else. I was going to become addicted to this feeli

    Ivy After having lunch with everyone and meeting Maggie, I jumped into my truck that was at the guest house and left for Juniper Moon. As I got closer to the front gate of the property, I texted Torin to let him know that I was here. I got to the gates and rolled my window down to talk to the guards. They recognized me right away, smiled, and opened the gates. I drove through and got a text from Torin telling me to meet him at the packhouse. I drove up to the large barn-like building, found his truck, and parked next to it. I turned my truck off and got out before I started to walk toward the packhouse. I stepped up onto the porch just as the door opened and Torin stepped out. He grinned at me and left the door wide open as he walked towards me. I smiled up at him right before he dipped down to kiss my lips in greeting. I didn’t shy away from him and eagerly touched my lips to his. The kiss was sweet and tender as he pressed his lips to mine and inhaled my scent. Torin d

  • Wolfe Ranch   Part 2, Chapter 13- Need More

    Maverick I was sitting at the table in the dining room of the fully furnished house we rented. It was dark outside but the house was busy with movement. I was drinking some water because I knew I needed it and couldn't live on just beer and coffee. Damn shame though, because those were my favorite things to drink. Last night we were successful at Wolfe Ranch with our little heist. We had taken six really good cows that we could tell were bred and a breeding stud that was probably worth a little money. I would probably keep him since he had a gentle temperament and knew how to cut cattle. With that knowledge, why would I sell him for a little money when I could use him to get more cattle? As I sat in the dining room thinking, I listened to Klassen making dinner for us all. It was a rare treat when one of the guys wanted to cook. Most of the time, we ate out because cooking wasn’t our strong suit. I would never turn down a homemade meal. I couldn’t cook for a damn so I nev

  • Wolfe Ranch   Part 2, Chapter 14- Cookout

    Jacob It was the weekend and we had no answers to the whirlwind of questions we had about the recent thefts. No one had come forward with any new information, and no one had been caught, but we were told about someone else's ranch missing cattle not that far from us. Whoever this was, they were hitting all the ranches close by. I just needed some type of break or a lead to catch them. To get everyone's mind off all the bullshit, we decided to have a family cookout today. Dad would be smoking a brisket while mom handled all the side dishes in the house. Ivy invited Torin over and I invited Maggie to sneak onto Medicine Rock. The thrill of sneaking around with her behind Bennett’s back was amazing, but not nearly as amazing as being with her. It was mid-morning and Maggie messaged me while she was at work. She had a short shift at the diner in town today and would be off by lunch. She would be headed here instead of going home to Sandstone, and I had to keep myself from ge

    Ivy I went to my house on Medicine Rock with Torin, Briar, and Jacob after the cookout with my parents. I packed my clothes, the things that I wanted, and the things that I needed with the guys. We had everything packed and in my truck in a flash because I had already been packing for the past two days. When everything was done, I handed the house key over to Briar. “I don’t need anything else from here, so the next pack member that turns eighteen can have it,” I told him. “Sounds good,” he told me with a sweet smile. Torin shook Briar and Jacob’s hands as he said, “don’t worry about her too much. I’ll keep an eye on her.” Jacob smiled and nodded his head before telling him, “keep yourself out of trouble.” Torin said, “of course.” Torin turned to me and kissed my lips before he got into his truck. I hugged both of my brothers before talking to them in private. “I’ll still be working at the ranch every day,” I told them, so they knew they could come s

    Jacob It was three o'clock in the afternoon and I was at home waiting for Maggie to get off work. After she was done at the diner, it would be another twenty minutes before she was here at Medicine Rock. I couldn't wait to see her again. With all my nervous yet excited energy, I got up off the couch and started cleaning the damn kitchen to distract myself. I had already cleaned the dining area and the rest of the house. This was the last place I still needed to clean. My laundry will be done in the dryer soon. I didn't realize I had accumulated so many dirty clothes in a week. Or was it two? As I cleaned, my phone went off on the bar counter and I grabbed it to see what she said. I read the message and she told me that she was on her way. I smiled like a love-struck fool as I looked at my phone before setting it back down. I kept cleaning the house until I saw her car pull up next to my truck. I left the house and walked out to meet her. Maggie greeted me with a br

    Jasper It’s been a few months since we took over the Winnipeg Pack. Things were moving along faster than I originally thought, and the people were flourishing. Most of the homes and buildings have been repaired with all of us working together to get this place back on track. The guards were in better shape thanks to Luis, but we still had a ways to go before they could really protect us. After we arrived here to stay, I started digging through Alpha Kevin’s office as Luis dug through Beta Gabriel’s. We wanted answers as to what was going on here and what went wrong. We all met in my new office and asked Nathan what he knew about all of this. He gave us a lot of disturbing information. ~Flashback “Has this always been the pack’s home?” I asked. “No, we moved out here a few years ago. Though we haven’t had enough food to sustain us in ten years.” “Damn. So, why didn’t Kevin have an heir?” I asked. “He died of malnutrition from not eating. Kevin’s mate died i

    Lacy I arrived at the South Sand Pack in South Dakota to help Aspen pack up the last of her things to move her in with me. Both of us were so excited to finally be in the same place and call it home. Our adventure was about to begin. I drove from the gates up to Aspen’s parents’ house and parked my Jeep before getting out. I walked on the sidewalk through the yard toward the front door. I watched it as it was ripped open and Aspen came running out of the house toward me with a giant smile on her face. I smiled back and started walking faster to meet her. We both held our arms out to one another and collided in a happy hug. We held each other for a long time as we indulged in our bond and being close. “I’m so happy you're here. I can’t wait to start this life with you,” Aspen said. “Same!” I said happily. We slightly released each other from the hug before we kissed. The kiss was meaningful and deep but didn’t ignite any passion. When we pulled back from the kiss

    Briar It was a few days since the attacks and when Jasper took over the Winnipeg Pack. Everything was back to a new normal as everyone was finding their footing. Jasper, Lianna, and Luis were already in Canada setting up a new life for the pack members they now had. I’d never seen people so happy to see food before and I knew that my brother was about to give them a better life. Yesterday morning, Sloan got one of the worst phone calls anyone could possibly get. It was from the police in Boulder, Colorado informing her that they did a wellness check on her parents after complaints by the neighbors. They found both of them dead in their home with gunshot wounds. Sloan cried for hours while blaming herself for what happened to them. All I could do was hold her in my arms and tell her that it wasn’t on her. She couldn’t control other people's actions. I felt horrible for her and I wished I knew how to help her better. Last night she got a second phone call from the poli

    Jasper All of us went back to Briar’s house and walked inside with shorts on. Everyone looked up at us and sighed in relief. I grinned at Lianna and pulled her close for a hug and kiss. “Were you worried?” I asked in a teasing voice. “Yes. What happened out there?” “Rogues were trying to take the cattle and horses,” I told her. “They were paid by Alpha Kevin to do it,” Briar said. “With everything that he’s done to us today, what are we going to do?” mom asked Briar. “I’m going to go pay him a visit. I’m taking Briar and Luis with me and no one else," I said firmly. “Why can’t I go with you?” Lianna asked. “I want you to stay here where it’s safe and help my mom with the livestock.” She nodded her head and asked, “What are you going to do?” I looked her in the eyes and took a deep breath. Last night, as she slept next to me, I searched through companies that I could start and looked at the investments that I had. Mom and dad made sure

  • Wolfe Ranch   Part 3, Chapter 22- Attack

    Briar I woke up in the comfortable darkness of my room with Sloan tucked up against me as she slept soundly. I could hear her soft breathing as I smelled her scent of yarrow in my face. Her back was tucked up against my front as she was curled into a ball like she needed to protect herself. Last night when we came to our room, Sloan told me about everything at the Winnipeg Pack, including what Lianna had said about taking it over. If Kevin went down for what he was doing to his members, which I’m pretty sure he would, that would leave the pack without leadership. Jasper was a leader with a Luna and a Beta. It seemed that he might be just the person to take over and help those wolves out of this mess. Though he didn’t say anything at dinner, I’m sure he is either trying to figure out how to help them or he’s worried about not being the right person to lead them. I’m sure he will figure it out. If he didn’t want to lead them, then I would move the members that Kevin had to M

    Lianna We followed the guy from the restaurant for an hour until he turned off the highway onto a dusty dirt road. Jasper drove past the turn-off slowly so we could look down it. It was a very long dirt road with no buildings in sight, but we had no idea what this place was. There were thick woods of paper birch and sugar maple on both sides of the dirt road. There was a lot of thick cover for wolves and a community. “Where are we?” I asked. “An area called Notre Dame de Lourdes,” Jasper answered. “So we aren’t even close to Winnipeg?” I asked. “Nope. It’s possible that the pack moved or that this place is a hideout of some kind for this guy,” he said. “What do you want to do?” Luis asked. “I want to see what’s down that road.” “Why don’t you park off the road and the four of us can go for a walk? Your truck is loud, so if there are multiple wolves in the area, they will hear it turn onto the dirt road,” Sloan said. “That’s what I was thin

    Jasper I had been horribly wrong about Sloan. I felt awful for her and the way her dad treated her during that phone call. All of this with her and Briar was a huge coincidence. We are really given the things that we need when we need them the most. Lianna and Sloan stayed up pretty late last night while drinking spiked hot chocolate and talking shit about their dads. I’m sure for them it was therapeutic, but for me and Briar it was horrifying to know the things they had to deal with. My heart was heavy for them. We had the best parents in the world compared to them. Briar and I were up early this morning while our mates slept in. Luis met us down in the kitchen and the three of us started making breakfast for the house. We had biscuits going in the oven, Briar was scrambling a bunch of eggs, I had coffee going, and Luis was prepping small steaks to fry. We had everything done before the she-wolves were even moving. I looked at Briar as he stared at his bedroom doo

    Sloan When everyone was finished with dessert and several of us were still standing around talking, Jacob said, “Briar, I have a question for you.” “What’s up?” he asked from beside me. “Why haven’t you made this girl part of our pack yet?” “I offered…” Briar started to explain in an uncomfortable tone. I cut in to explain my reasoning and said, “And I’m thinking about it.” “What’s there to think about?” Jacob asked me in curiosity. I took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes before saying, “I’m not sure that I'm the right person to be the Luna. I don’t know the first thing about being part of a pack or really what it means to be a Luna. I just need to make sure I’m needed here.” “The fact that you're thinking of others and not yourself says you're the right person for the pack and your mate. Not a lot of she-wolves would do that,” Lianna told me. I took her words into account and nodded my head. Maybe she was right. Maybe I was the right

    Sloan Meeting Jasper was different than what I figured it would be. For one, Briar never said that they were identical twins. If Jasper shaved his beard off, I wouldn’t be able to tell the two of them apart by looks, only by smell. I was stunned that he had such a full beard at his age, but he looked good with it. By no means is that me wanting Briar to grow a beard though. I liked his clean-shaven face. I desperately wanted that smooth face between my legs earlier, but that was interrupted for the second time today. Oh well, we will get there. After meeting Jasper, Lianna, and Luis, we ate lunch at the packhouse, then got them settled in the rooms upstairs in Briar’s home. We would have a full house for a while, which was different for me. From everything I was told, Jasper didn’t really have a home of his own. It was from the uncertainty of his destiny, but I’m sure he would figure it out. Jasper and Lianna got their horses out of the trailer and we set up a bigger
