Perrin
I caught a trail of honeysuckle and lavender in the hallway before I reached the door. No.
I burst through the door. “Where did she go?”
Ethan looked miserable and Justin’s face was grim. “Did you tell her?” I looked from one to the other, anxious for an answer.
“Yes,” Ethan finally said.
“And she ran,” Justin finished, running a large hand over the stubble on his jaw in frustration.
“Thanks for setting me up,” Ethan growled at me.
Justin, to my surprise, said, “She was going to find out sooner or later.” I gave him a quick, appreciative nod.

Perrin I didn’t know we could cry in our wolf forms. I had always known we could howl. It had been a form of mourning for our people for millennia. But actual tears? What streaked down Lo’s shimmering coat looked heavier than water. It dripped and dragged and draped through the soft fur of her coat, leaving a glossy, wet wake against her muzzle. I approached her slowly, her giant coat shaking as sobs tore through her lithe body. She knew I was there. Had likely scented before I had come upon her. But just to be sure, I stopped slowly into the clearing, only gentle movements. I needed her to know that I wasn’t a threat. Thankfully she hadn’t crossed outside of pack borders this time. I was grateful for that. One less thing in our lives that had becoming increasingly complicated. As I eyed her, large pools glistening down her fur, I observed how wild she looked in her emotion; not just because of the animalf form. It reminded me of the few times I had seen my step-mother lose her

The LodgePerrin“How is she?”“Awake,” Ethan replied, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. I didn’t know how long he had been at the infirmary, but he wasn’t back by the time Lo and I had returned to the pack house. Even if he had tried to reach out, I was fast asleep.“And breathing on her own,” he added.“That’s great. Anything more?”“Jennivah said she likely won’t remember anything in the hours leading up to it.”I looked at him. “Are you saying--”“No, no. She’ll definitely remember

DeidreI snuck into the infirmary once more earlier this morning to check on her. Jennivah had stayed through the night; not at the orders of the Luna, but as my friend and an Ascended. I wanted to, but couldn’t. Jason had kept Mistra out of sight as soon as we had gotten word last night. Mark had gone to gather Mistra, holding her in his office then planting her in the lobby of the infirmary around 8:00 this morning. I didn’t know if she had the chance yet to see my daughter.Kira had been pale, but breathing on her own. She looked tiny beneath the sheets of her bed, and my blood pounded through my veins as I gazed at my second child in as many months in the infirmary, unconscious and weak.I hadn’t dared peek beneath her eyelids. I didn’t want to see what was there. Couldn’t stomach it.

Perrin“So? How did it go?”I had waited outside of my father’s office, with Ethan and his mate until the last possible moment. But I knew my father and his ego wouldn’t appreciate me being there, especially after what happened when Kira had told me about her ‘mate’ before my father the first time.The pair looked tired, but relieved. As if the last half an hour had been more grueling than a training session. I guess in some ways, it had been.“He accepted it and gave us his blessing,” Ethan said, a little tight lipped.“And Deidre?” I asked. It was customary for the Luna to do the same.Ethan’s brow furrowed. “She did.&rdquo

KiraMy mouth felt like sandpaper, rougher and more coarse than the sheets that pressed against the fabric of my face.I could feel my face squinting, breathing deeply, trying to get saliva going in my mouth. I felt dry. My whole body felt dry. And cold.I shivered, opening my eyes to a dim, dark blur. Where the hell was I? Had I passed out at Toby’s?A beeping registered somewhere near my head. It was dark. Another beep. I shook my head, as if that would help clear my vision. To my surprise, a sharp pain ran through my skull, worse than any hangover I’ve ever hard.Like that was possible, I mused. But even thinking hurt. Come to think of it, my whole body hurt. It felt tired. Fatigued. A

PerrinJaz was asleep. I wasn’t surprised. She had barely slept the night before.I couldn’t imagine what it took to deal with what she dealt with on a daily basis. How could she treat life and death so clinically when Kira was on the table? It blew my mind.A low buzzing sound echoed from somewhere in the pocket. I checked the bedside table. Where was my phone?I crept out of bed, trying to find my jeans. Another buzz from the tiled floor. Ah.I retraced my steps, pulling my phone out of the vibrating denim on the kitchen floor. Lo’s face flashed on the screen.“Hello?” I whispered.“Hey! Wh

Ethan“She doesn’t want to see you.”“Are you serious?”“She needs time.”“She doesn’t get the luxury of being selfish when she pulls a stunt like that.” I growled. Jennivah didn’t deserve the attitude and I knew better. But I couldn’t help myself.“She needs time,” Jennivah stressed. “Go enjoy your evening. I’m sure you can find something else to do.”Her tone was light and playful, a direct opposite of the scolding I had received trying to break in behind the reception counter when Lorrie wouldn’t give
The Unchosen Mate Chapter 187
EthanI hadn’t had enough time in the last few days to fathom what it would be like to be with Justin. But I had time well before I had a mate to think about it, in the quiet times when I had a chance to admire the fine male figure of someone else at the Lodge, or when we were forced to study the head shots of the challengers. I wondered if I would have stopped on Justin’s picture if I had been looking at the photographs of the Alpha Challengers as I had studied, rather than the Beta ones. Would I have known then? That this dark and attractive male would be my mate?I turned to him, his massive form now flooded with low lamplight. Would I have recognized the face of my mate in a picture? Would something in me have known he was the one?On those days that I had allowed myself to admire the male form, I hadn’t imagined it
