All Chapters of Panther: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

Zach, Noah, and Thomas were all helping each other stand the logs up in a triangle shape. I didn't feel like I could call them the trio of idiots anymore, to be honest. They'd all grown up a lot in just a few months. Thomas had been leading the hell out of the new guards, and Noah and Zach had been the ones in charge of building all the new houses, so they'd been getting plenty of physical activity in, not to mention their leadership roles were helping them to grow mentally, too. They were becoming men, that was for sure. They had defiantly helped fill the hole Matt had left. A little.I sigh and drink out of my bottle of lemonade flavored beer. I didn't really like actual beer, but this was okay.I had three more at my feet, one more for me, and one for each of my mates if they happened to wander by.Nate was filling in

"They're here!" I perk a little at the sound of Thomas's voice finally coming from the tree line."Here we go." I hear Cleo muttering from beside me. I glance down at her, meeting her orange eyes. I grin, and she rolls her eyes. She grabs my hand, and we stand up from where'd we'd been sitting on my front porch.Ike comes crashing out of his house then. He'd been on the phone with the old Alpha of this pack, Parker. Cleo had told me a little about him, all she knew anyways. Which was pretty much just that he seemed nice and was Ike's father figure."You guys ready?" He asks when we all converge finally.It doesn't matter if we are or aren't, because they're here.Through the trees comes a group of our guards, surrounding four people, all a little older and rougher looking than the young wolves around them, "Protecting" them. Something about the way our guests carried themselves told me they didn't need our petty protection."Welcome." Ike steps forward first, while Cleo and I hang bac

"Ah, I don't hate you. I don't know you." I shrug, finally speaking again. "You're just two people to me, unfortunately. But I definitely don't hate you." My dad's shoulders sink a little at my words, but my mom smiles. "You found your mates? All of them?" She raises a brow. My mind flashes to Charlie again. Did they know anything about why I had killed him? I had assumed they did since they were supposed to be the head honchos, but they weren't acting like it."She's found both of us." Ike says as he comes up behind me. I watch my mother's eyes move to Ike as his hands rest on my shoulders. Her eyes narrow at him a little, and I see them scanning over my mate. "Who is your other mate? Nassim's offspring? The orange haired boy?" I hear Nassim scoffing behind me. "I would rather you not link him to me." Without really thinking about who this man was, and how much power he probably held, I turned over my shoulder and glared at him, lifting my lip in a snarl. I hear my father laughi

For the first time in forever, I feel my panther crawling to the surface as we broke through the trees. I hurriedly pull my leggings off and run through the trees in nothing but my bra and underwear. It had been a while since I shifted, so my panther was taking a second to dust herself off, and Thomas was still closing in on me. Finally, she takes control, bounding through the trees like a shadow, loosing Thomas in seconds. She digs her claws into the closest tree, climbing up it quickly and taking to jumping from limb to limb rather than running on the ground. Are you okay? No, I'm pissed off. Why? I don't know. A lot of reasons. My panther doesn't reply as she continues through the trees. We're coming up on the border. Stop then, I don't want to actually run away. I just need a minute to myself.She settles on a branch, scanning the area around us. I wonder when the guards would be by, and if they'd see me. I guess this was a good pop quiz for them, at least."Cleo!" My panther si

I look away from the lively party scene after a moment, back to the table behind me. "Ooo." I snatch an unopened bottle of tiny blue vodka someone had left behind. Hoped they hadn't planned on coming back for it. "Excuse you." I make a whining noise when Nate is snatching the bottle from my lips before I can chug it. "Drink this instead." I sigh at the cold bottle of water he's put in my hand. "If I must." I crack the top. "You must." He plops in a chair beside me, sighing heavily and watching me drink. "Where have you been?" I ask once I've twisted the top back on the now half empty bottle. "You've been gone a really long time." I raise by brows at him, and the corner of his lip lifts up a little."And that drove you to drink?" I laugh loudly. "No, I just felt like it was time to get drunk." "Right." He nods, eyeing me. I blink innocently at him. "Can I say something?" I blurt out as he watches me. He ticks his eyebrow. "I think your dad is a fucking chode." He shakes his hea
