All Chapters of Finding Home: A Twin Shifter Romance: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

‘She is our wolf. Call her out to play.’‘No! This is final.’ Grayson gave the last word, and Slate retreated to sulk in the shadows.Sure, the wolf was right that Brianna had a scent attractive to him, probably to all wolves, because Maggie knew what she was and Marina became territorial when she arrived. But Grayson wondered why wolves in Illinois never took an interest in Brianna. Why has no one ever claimed her?Was the pollution in the city so thick that they never noticed a natural-born female wolf in their midst?Is something wrong with her, perhaps?‘Nothing’s wrong. She’s perfect.’ Slate hissed.Grayson shook his head. Just when he had chopped enough wood and successfully blotted Brianna out of his thoughts, she appeared in his backyard sweaty and windblown to torment him.He recalled her eyes changing from dark brown to gold several times, making him wonder why she pretended to be unaware of what was happening.She was a mystery, and though Grayson said there was nothing he

She frowned and shrugged it off. This was her chance to interrogate the sheriff about his plan of action for finding Bran.“If you are correct that your brother is in that forest, then we need to put together a bunch of people to go find him. It would be easier to find clues when you have more people sweeping the area.”“So let’s do it. How do we get these people?”“Hold on. I still need to check forest services and the other campgrounds if they saw him. Then we start from there.”“He was in town two weeks ago. So does that mean we start from the beginning of the trails?”“We could, but that might be pointless. Let me do my job and I’ll get back to you.”“When will that be?”“A couple of days, probably. There are a lot of areas to cover.”“But I don’t have a few days. My brother has been missing for two weeks now and I know something has happened because he never failed to call me every weekend. I’ve been hanging around the pub since yesterday and haven’t seen him since.”“Maybe he mov

It must be a spell because he would never act in such a way around any woman.Brianna opened her eyes, and he hurriedly zipped his pants back up and scrambled to get as far from her as soon as possible.He had to be brash or he would never find the nerve to pull away because his self-control was waning fast. There was nothing in the world he’d rather do than consume every inch of Brianna, but he needed her to be on board.‘Claim her,’ Slate insisted as Grayson ran toward the bar where he left his vehicle.‘No. Get out of my head.’ Grayson fought for control, and he won.Slate, his wolf, had never been vocal about his opinions before., although always present, he was always more in the background.Grayson had been aware of his presence since he was a pup and Slate would occasionally jump into his head during decision-making as the voice of reason, but had never forced Grayson to shift or interfere with his choices. So the situation made Grayson wonder why the wolf was so attached to Br

That morning, Grayson reported to the Sheriff’s office as if nothing had happened. He lacked sleep, thinking about his inner wolf and why Slate kept insisting Brianna was his mate. Grayson had a lot of questions, but after telling him to butt out when he was with Brianna, Slate never resurfaced, as if he did not exist without her.Just as he walked through the door, he was bombarded with the report of another animal attack, so his entire morning had been occupied by calls, questions, and site visits, pushing Brianna to the back of his mind. Still, she was never far from it, as her image popped into his mind every time he had a minute to think. Visions of her lovely smile, captivating brown eyes, or just the conversation they had the night before jumped up when he was unaware.Grayson had been satisfied with his life. He had lived in Silvercreek all his years, and he did not want to be anywhere else.It had been his dream to follow in his father’s footsteps, and he was proud of the ex

When the image of Bran and the connection she felt disappeared, Brianna poked around the campgrounds.She could see remnants of fire pits people used for camping, but the ashes were too dry to say if they had been lit recently.It was a popular spot, so she expected to run into someone at the site, but it was empty.Surely, she thought, they wouldn’t have heard about the animal attacks unless someone from town warned them. It made her wonder if the forest service even visited the sites to check on the campers. Sooner or later, she hoped to bump into one of them to ask about Brandon.The fatigue of the first day and the headache throbbing in her head made Bree re-think about her plans for the day. Not having the energy to move forward after having a meal, she took a quick power nap to get her strength back before heading to the next campsite.It was twilight by the time she awoke and Brianna cursed herself for sleeping too long. It would be ridiculous to walk in the dark, so she opted
