He’s so handsome, so different than the other males who swagger and bray around the village, always jockeying for rank, loud and aggressive. He moves with a casual arrogance, saying little, his face giving nothing away. At least not to anyone else.I know his tells. At least some of them. I come to a standstill a foot from him, gazing up into that cool expression of feigned indifference, and note the pulse at his left temple and his clenched jaw. If I glanced down, I’d see that his shorts are fully tented.Folks in this pack go out of their way not to look at me. Their eyes skip over me like I’ve been scribbled out, like I’m an embarrassing mistake. The fat shifter. Our kind aren’t supposed to carry extra weight. That’s a human thing. We don’t have overflowing breasts and pudgy bellies and thick thighs. I’m made wrong.But Alec looks at me. Not around the others, but when we sneak off—his dark eyes eat me up.“Take this off,” he says, plucking at my hoodie as he finally lowers his leg

Alec groans and shoves my head closer, smushing my nose against his pubic bone. Oh. I kind of got distracted and stopped sucking. Not like you can suck much with a dick this far down your throat. I wiggle my tongue as much as I can, and that seems to do the trick. He moans and lets up a little. I can take a full breath again.He used to come in two or three minutes flat. I guess because he has more experience at this point, it takes a lot longer now.My stomach hurts at the thought, but there’s nothing I can do. At least he’s not dating Isla Sinclair anymore. That was the worst three months of my life. I’m sure Alec didn’t tell her about what we do, but she must have sensed something because she ganged up with Rhona and Greer to make my life miserable. It wasn’t like Alec and I fooled around when they were together. He pretended I didn’t exist like everyone else.Alec’s muscular thighs are tensing, and he’s loosened his grip on the back of my head to stroke my hair. He’s close. I rela

I tie my hair back again and pull my hood up, tugging the strings taut even though it’s getting muggy. I want to hide, but if I bail without getting the clothes, someone will snitch to Brenda, and I’ll get shit for it. I slide onto a picnic bench and pinch the foil around the edges of Miss Nola’s plate for something to do with my hands.Bram and Leith are raising their voices.“We go to the waterfall,” Bram declares, peeling off his tank top and flinging it to the ground.He’s got concrete blocks for abs and a pelt like a bearskin rug. I can’t believe I let him in my pants. I was so easy. All it took was him dropping by the laundry, applying some light pressure, and I let him punch my V card in the utility closet. I try not to beat myself up about it, though. I was eighteen, Alec was with Isla Sinclair, and loneliness is a mindfuck.“The waterfall is played out,” Leith scoffs, shucking his shirt, puffing his ripped and waxed chest. “I say Tall Pines Lake.”Bram waves his hand dismissi

Something’s terribly wrong.The males are all naked, and I’m throbbing between the legs, and the air reeks. The only thing stopping me from hurling is the scent of Alec’s shirt. What is that stench? Something died. Something very big.“What the fuck is Fluffa doing?” Rhona says to Greer.Isla finally lifts her foot off the damn shorts and dashes to a safe distance like I’m it, and this is tag. “She’s sniffing someone’s sweaty shirt.”There is a chorus of female disgust, but I can’t put the shirt down. If I do, I’ll throw up in front of everyone. I want to stand, but someone has crowded too close behind me, and if I try to get to my feet without bracing my hands on the ground, I’ll lose my balance. If I brace, I’ll be presenting my ass to whoever’s up in my space.Except for that guy, my packmates are backing away, forming a new ring so I’m on stage left, and opposite me, Alec is standing stage right, his posture deliberately unconcerned, his expression blank.He’s my mate.It’s like a

Alec isn’t looking at me. The bond digs into my heart like claws.“Alec?” I swear the voice isn’t mine, but it comes from my bone-dry mouth, my cracked lips.He was starting to shift, to follow Leith and the others, but he pauses and glances over his shoulder. Like he’d forgotten about me.“Come over when the heat kicks all the way in,” he says. “I’ll let you ride my cock. Wash it real good first, though, if you’ve been passing it around to dirty bastards like that.”He sneers at Bram, and then he turns his back to me and his spine lengthens, skin sprouting fur. He’s going to leave me here.The blood roaring in my ears is deafening. The scene unfolding around me becomes a pantomime—Greer, Rhona, and their crew laugh soundlessly with their heads thrown back, fingers pointing, clutching their guts, every expression exaggerated.The lower-ranking females shrink back, huddle together, averting their eyes in case my humiliation ricochets and hits them. The males lope off on four legs for t

I left Miss Nola’s dinner back at the gathering place. She doesn’t leave our cabin. She’ll have gone to bed hungry.I left everyone’s clothes on the ground, too. I’m going to get in trouble for that.Alec will probably be back to the village soon.Inside my wolf, my hands ball into fists. I won’t care. I drag his cold, distant face up in my mind and force myself to remember how he wouldn’t meet my eyes, not even for a second, not even with this thing lodged in our chests, harnessing us together.Like I’m a stranger, and we haven’t been sneaking off together for years. Like we haven’t known each other our whole lives.Like I’m not even a person.The urge to keep running comes over me again, to just leave it all behind, erase him like he erased me, but there’s another voice inside me now. Not my wolf, and not quite me, either.Miss Nola needs to eat, the voice says.And if you’re going to leave, be smart. Get your clothes.If you leave, don’t leave them a damn thing.OceanofPDF.com2FL

If she does, she doesn’t show it. She hops right over and presses her quivering pink nose through the wire. I pluck a piece of timothy hay from her feeder and offer it to her. She takes it, munching, her fluffy cheeks wobbling.“I’ll bring you some fresh greens later,” I promise. I grow parsley and cilantro for her in a makeshift windowsill greenhouse I made out of plastic and old Lincoln Logs. She’s crazy for them.I unlatch the door and reach in to stroke her soft side while she finishes her nibble. She’s a little plump, too. I overfeed her. I know I do. I try not to, but I love her, and greens make her happy. I harden my heart enough to cut her off every now and then, but she gives me sad looks and won’t come out of the box I made her out of wood and carpet scraps.No one’s overfeeding me. I don’t know why I am the way I am. Shifters have hyperactive metabolisms. We learned that in biology at Moon Lake Academy. For some reason, I just don’t. I’ve always been this way. In my baby pi

“Flora?” Miss Nola calls, her thin voice wavering.“It’s just me.” I step out of the parlor so she can see me. She can scent me, but if she can’t see me, her anxiety tends to get the best of her.“Oh, there you are.” She pauses. She’s still wearing her worn flannel nightgown. She gets up and ready early, but not at the crack of dawn. “Tea?”“Yes, ma’am.” I kick off my shoes and follow her into the kitchen.“No one’s with you?” she asks, squinting past me.“No.”“I heard a male.”“It was just Alec Cameron. He’s gone now,” I tell her. “No one’s outside except Harriet.”She makes her way to the stove, her trembling fingers skimming the baker’s rack and the table like she does, as if she’s reassuring herself that everything’s where it’s supposed to be. She fills the kettle and puts it on.I get the milk from the fridge. “I’m sorry if you were scared.”She waves me away. “I was up anyway.” It’s not an answer to what I said, but that’s how she does. She steps over things she’d rather not ac

“I didn’t do what I wanted.” She exhales, her gaze surveying the clean but cluttered kitchen. “I stayed in here.”“What did you want to do?”The question seems to throw her for a moment, but then her eyes find mine, and she says, crystal clear, “Decide for myself.”Others would probably say well, why didn’t you? If your house and electric is paid for, and your food is free, what’s holding you back? What are you complaining about?I know Miss Nola better than anyone, though. If she could’ve gone after Rhona and Greer back when they were messing with me, nothing would’ve stopped her. She’s not free, and she didn’t choose this.I reach across the table and rest my hand near hers, palm flat to the table. She smiles at me. Tears gather along her lower lashes, but they don’t fall. Neither of us are criers.“What do you want to do, Flora?”For a second, I think she means right now, like do I want breakfast, or do I want to go to bed.“If you could decide for yourself, what would you want?”I

I bend over, brace my hands on my thighs, and breathe. What I don’t do is lose it. I’m not an animal.I stand up straight, pull it together, and walk calmly around to the front of the house. I trip up the steps like I’m not a stray spark away from combusting, and stride into the common room. The pipe tobacco’s as thick in the air as the smell of bacon. The Cameron males sprawled around the table fall silent, but there’s still a lot of hacking coughs and forks clacking against plates.Uncle Fraser pushes back from the table, his chair screeching as it scrapes the linoleum. At the sudden noise, Granddad sputters in his chair in the corner, but he doesn’t wake up. At least someone’s covered his knees with a quilt. Probably Trevor, the exile from Moon Lake who showed up a few years back and didn’t leave after Aunt Shona made the mistake of feeding him.“Where you been?” Fraser barks.“What? I report to you?” I puff my chest. Since that shit with Flora went down, I’ve been swelling. The cu
