SIX-PACK SERIES BOOK THREE *While this book can be read as a standalone, I'd highly recommend reading books one (Alpha Gray) and two (Alpha Theo) for context before this book* JAX : I'm no stranger to one night stands. Lots of girls want a hook-up with an alpha, so why should this one be any different? Maybe it's because she's the best I ever had. Maybe it's because she refused to tell me anything about herself. We agreed to one night, no strings attached. The problem is, I can't get that night out of my head; I've been obsessed with finding this girl since. When she shows up at the squad complex for training, I feel like it's my lucky day- until my best friend introduces her as his sister and things get... complicated. I can't go against bro code, right? Even if Quinn is my dream girl. Even if there's a crazy attraction between us that's harder to resist every day. I'm so screwed.  ~ QUINN : One night. It was supposed to be one night of anonymous, meaningless with a stranger. I just wanted to have a good time and forget about my cheating ex. It definitely did the trick- I haven't thought about my ex since, but now I can't stop thinking about that night or the sexy stranger who had all the right moves. When I arrive at the complex for a fresh start, I'm shocked to see him again- and even more surprised to find out that he's not only an alpha, but also one of my brother's best friends. Theo would Jax if he found out about that night. He can never know- which means I have to keep my distance. Even if I can't stop fantasizing about Jax. Even if it kills me.

QUINN

“Earth to Quinn!” My friend Kyla’s voice slips into my daydream, startling me back to reality.

“Huh?” I swivel my head around to face her, blinking, as she sets two frothy pint glasses of beer in front of me on the bar top of the brewery where we both work.

“For table six.”

“Right,” I nod, reaching for the glasses. I pick one up in each hand and start to spin around to head out from behind the bar. Before I can take a step, though, Kyla reaches out to grab my arm, halting me.

“Hey, what’s with you today?” she asks, searching my eyes with her dark brown ones. “Having trouble sleeping again?”

I shake my head quickly, my long brunette hair swishing in front of my face. “Nah,” I lie, blowing a loose strand out of my field of vision. Kyla’s giving me that stern look that says she doesn’t believe me, and I heave a sigh in defeat. “Okay, yeah. A little.”

I shrug her hand away and turn around to deliver the beers, jumping a little when I feel the smack of the bar towel on my ass.

Kyla waves the towel at me, smirking. “Hurry and drop those off so you can come back and tell me all about it.”

I roll my eyes, making my way out from behind the bar. I don’t really wanna talk about it, but if I know Kyla, she won’t let it rest until I do. We met when I started working at Cedar Ridge Brewery at the beginning of the summer and we’ve grown really close over the last few months. She’s one of my only friends these days- after high school graduation, everyone seemed to have a plan for what to do next. A bunch of my friends went off to summer training camp for the security squad, while others went off to college or settled into new jobs that were waiting for them after high school. But me? I didn’t have a clear plan for the next step.

It’s not like there are a lot of choices in our little corner of the world. Wolf shifters generally stick with their own kind; stay close to the pack. Most of us don’t venture far from our territories because there’s safety in numbers- we all look out for each other. Here, we don’t have to hide who we are; being a shifter is as normal as living and breathing. And with the formation of the six-pack alliance several years back, our territory has expanded considerably.

The packs work together to run the businesses on the outskirts of the territory to bring in revenue for the packs. The biggest attractions are Cedar Ridge Ski Lodge and Cedar Ridge Brewery. While the ski resort and lodge are shuttered during the summer months, the brewery is a year-round business, so I was able to pick up a summer job as a waitress.

At least I kept telling myself it was a summer job. Now that summer’s coming to an end, I have no idea what my next move is going to be.

Before I graduated, I had a few fleeting thoughts about trying the college thing- but leaving my pack for months on end and integrating with the human population? No thanks. Besides, even if I’d wanted to, I doubt my dad would’ve allowed it. He’s the alpha of our pack and he’s always been overprotective of his only daughter.

I also considered going out for the security squad to become a fighter for the six-pack territory, but my boyfriend talked me out of it. If I made it, I’d have to live up at the squad complex, and for some reason he was vehemently opposed to living a twenty-minute drive apart. At the time, I thought it was sweet that he couldn’t stand the thought of being away from me. Now, I can see how it was just another way he tried to control me.

Clay Masterson. We started dating at the end of our junior year of high school, and he was everything I thought I wanted: handsome, sweet, charming. I thought he hung the moon. We continued dating through our senior year and when graduation came, he begged me to stay in Summervale with him. Even after we both turned eighteen and the full moon confirmed we weren’t fated mates, he said he’d still choose me as his mate if I stayed. And like a fool, I believed him. Designed all my plans for the future around him.

Until I caught him in bed with another girl.

I still can’t get the image of it out of my head. Clay, all sweaty and grunting, on top of Camilla, a girl I used to consider my friend. I got off work early and went to surprise him, and boy was he surprised. He ran after me, tried to beg my forgiveness, but I couldn’t even look at him. I’ve never sobbed harder- I felt like my heart was being ripped from my chest. I confronted Camilla a few days later and learned that it had been going on all summer, right under my nose- and that’s when I knew it was really over between Clay and me.

That was two weeks ago. I’ve been walking around like a zombie ever since- barely eating, rarely sleeping. I’ve run the full gambit of emotions; at first, I was heartbroken, then I was angry, and now I’m just… numb. I wish I could just forget about Clay and move on, but every time I start to, something reminds me of him and I’m right back there, standing in the doorway of his bedroom, my world shattering around me.

“Here you go, boys,” I breathe, setting the glasses of beer in front of the two customers seated at table six. “Can I get you anything else?”

They both turn their full attention to me, and the guy on the left gives me a blatantly obvious once-over before his lips curl into a smile. “Yeah, how about your number?”

Real smooth.

He’s cute- college aged, tousled dark hair, charming smile. He’s also decidedly… human.

I chuckle, setting a hand on my hip. “Sorry, I’ve got a…” my voice trails off before I can say ‘boyfriend’. I guess I don’t have one of those anymore. And once again, Clay’s taking up real estate in my mind.

“A what?” he asks, slyly reaching out to brush my arm with the backs of his fingers.

I recoil from his contact, sidestepping to break it- then I quickly regain my composure, drawing a breath and glancing over to the bar as my mind races for an excuse. “A girlfriend,” I say, tossing Kyla a wink.

Even though she probably can’t hear me over the brewery noise, she tips her head at me and smiles as she fills a pint glass from the tap.

“Whoa, that’s hot,” college guy’s buddy says, staring at me wide-eyed.

I laugh softly, rolling my eyes as I turn away. “Enjoy the beers guys.”

Shifter hearing can be a curse- the two of them discuss the way my ass looks in my shorts all the way back to the bar. Pervs.

“So are you gonna tell me what’s on your mind?” Kyla asks as I round the corner to walk behind the bar. She leans one elbow up on the bar top casually, tucking her shoulder-length blonde hair behind her ear with the other hand.

I sigh, stepping closer to her and folding my arms over my chest. “You already know. Don’t make me say it.”

Kyla blows out a breath. “Figured as much.” She reaches out to stroke my arm reassuringly. “That asshole didn’t deserve you, Quinn. The quicker you move on, the happier you’ll be.”

“Easier said than done,” I grumble as my eyes flutter to the floor.

“That’s it,” Kyla snaps. I look up at her questioningly and she’s got a determined glint in her eye. “You’ve been moping around this place for long enough. We’re going out tonight, and you’re gonna find someone who will make you forget all about that cheating scumbag.”

I shake my head. “I don’t think…”

“I’m not taking no for an answer,” she interrupts, holding up her hands in front of her. “The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.”

“What?!” I choke on a laugh. “Did you just make that up? I don’t think I need some rebound fling.”

“Oh you absolutely need a rebound fling,” Kyla says matter-of-factly. “You’re coming to my place after our shift ends. We’ll get all dressed up and go break some hearts.”

I wrinkle my nose. “On a Wednesday?”

“Especially on a Wednesday.” She waggles her eyebrows. “Hump day.”

I let out another laugh, swatting her arm. I could continue to protest, but I know she isn’t going to take no for an answer.

If I’m being honest, I’m actually a little bit intrigued. Kyla’s from Stillwater and I’ve never been out to the bar there. Before going to work at the brewery, I never really ventured outside of Summervale’s territory- there was never any need to. I should be taking advantage of the fact that there are other packs in the area, other towns I can go to where I won’t run into Clay. That guy will never leave the cushy familiarity of Summervale.

“Fine,” I sigh.

Kyla’s lips spread into a grin as she lets out a little squeal, balling her fists in front of her and jumping up and down. “Yes! This is gonna be so fun!”

I can’t help but giggle at her reaction- she looks like a little kid. Even though Kyla’s got two years on me age wise, she looks super young. I’m not sure if it’s her short stature or her round doll-like face or the smattering of freckles dotting her nose and cheeks, but the girl could easily pass for a high schooler.

“Okay, I’m gonna text Tony and see if he’s down,” she adds, reaching into her back pocket for her phone.

Kyla’s mention of her boyfriend takes my enthusiasm down a notch. I was assuming this would be a girls’ night, just the two of us. The addition of Tony changes the dynamic.

It’s like she can sense my hesitation. “Is that okay?” she asks, blinking those big brown eyes of hers.

“Yeah, of course,” I breathe, faking a smile.

Can’t wait to third-wheel you and your boyfriend’s night out.

Kyla’s small fingers move across her phone screen quickly as she taps out a message to Tony, hitting send before she looks back up at me.

“Perfect. We’re off at nine, so I told him to meet us there at ten. Should give us enough time to get ready.”

I nod, forcing another smile. “Sounds good.”

Kyla looks past me, a smirk creeping across her face. “Looks like you’ve got some admirers at table six.”

I chuckle, rolling my eyes. “Yeah, about that…”

Honestly not a fan of Quinn I liked her at first but just too self centred. I’m down for a hood sex scene but every single chapter is a bit much. I’ll read the first 5 but then I’m over it.It’s still a well writen book and worth the read but must say for those two reasons it’s my least favourite yet

I typically wait, as long as possible, to share my thoughts (1/2 way through). Jax is my favorite of the series, so far. All MUST read them chronologically. I love how whimsically charming, super funny & smolderingly hot this book gets!

JAX I wind my fingers around the necks of the empty beer bottles on the table, carrying three in each hand and walking into the kitchen to discard them.“Thanks, man,” Reid grumbles, pressing his foot on the pedal of the stainless-steel garbage can to pop the lid open.The bottles clatter together as I toss them inside. “No problem. Wish those guys didn’t have to take off already, I could use a few more brewskis after that shitshow.”We’re at Reid’s place- the packhouse in Stillwater- after enduring a particularly stressful meeting with the council for the six-pack. My buddy Reid is Alpha of his pack and therefore a member of the council. It was his turn to host the meeting on his home turf.  Council meetings are usually boring as shit, but tonight’s got heated because tensions are running high over an incident in Denver with the shadow pack.I should back

QUINN I can’t believe how slammed the Stillwater Tap is on a Wednesday. When Kyla and I walk through the door, my thoughts are immediately drowned out by the loud thump of the music, my eyes taking in the sheer number of bodies packing the place. Though it’s not what I expected, I’m pleasantly surprised. The dance floor is already crowded, and before we’ve even made it to the bar to order a drink, I’m itching to get out there.Kyla elbows her way to the front of the bar to order drinks while I hang back, scanning the crowd and tugging at the hem of the dress Kyla let me borrow. It’s too small and too short, but it was the only thing remotely appropriate that I tried on from Kyla’s closet. I’ve got a good six inches in height on her, not to mention several cup sizes. This stretchy black tube dress was my only option, aside from my brewery t-shirt and work shorts.I feel a hand

JAX I’m about to leave the Stillwater Tap to head back to the packhouse when I hear it. Before I even see her, the sound of her laugh pulls me in like she’s a siren. I stop in my tracks, looking around to discern where that laugh is coming from. Then I see her. Stunningly gorgeous, like she belongs on the cover of a magazine, not in a dimly lit shifter bar in the middle of nowhere Colorado. I can’t take my eyes off of her, because it’s not just the way she looks and sounds that’s drawing me in- it’s everything about her, the total package. The way she carries herself like she’s this sexy, confident force of nature who knows exactly who she is and what she wants.I know immediately that I have to have her. She’s wild, sinful trouble that I want to drown in- all alpha female, and I’m fucking here for it. I don’t even know who she is, but she came here for me tonig

QUINN I look up from the pint glass I’m filling from the tap, my heart stuttering as a tall blonde guy walks into the brewery.Not him. Damnit. I’ve had the same reaction every time a hot blonde guy has strolled through the doors of Cedar Ridge Brewery over the past week. That one-night stand with ‘sexy stranger’, as I’ve been referring to him, totally fucked me up; my head’s all over the place. Part of me is dying to run into him again, yet I’m slightly terrified that if I do, seeing each other in the light of day might ruin the well-preserved fantasy. And right now I’m living for the memory of that night- it has been my go-to fantasy since.I’ll never forget his face, or the way he touched me, or how all that hard muscle felt underneath my palms. Not to mention the intensity of his gaze as I came undone beneath him. Clay who? That je

JAX Two weeks. It has been almost two weeks exactly since I hooked up with that girl in Stillwater, and I still can’t get her out of my head.This hasn’t ever happened to me before. Sure, I’ve had one-night stands with women, and some of them were pretty great- but my thoughts about this one are bordering on obsession.At first, I thought it was because the anonymity of the whole encounter made it feel more exciting, almost dangerous. But it wasn’t just that. It was her- everything about her. For starters, she was a total knockout; quite possibly the most beautiful woman that I’ve ever had the privilege of seeing up close. Then she had this air of confidence about her- she radiated energy and strength, seemed like the kind of girl who knows what she wants and doesn’t take any shit from anyone. And when the two of us were together… the sexual chemistry was combustible. You

QUINN   I whip my little blue car into the parking lot of the squad complex, steering into a spot and slamming it in park. It’s my first day and I’m already late- what a great first impression. I hate being late for anything; it gives me major anxiety. Dad drew out our goodbye, like he didn’t want to let me go, and while I knew it was going to make me late, I didn’t have the heart to rush it. For the past five years, it has just been the two of us at the packhouse- this new chapter is definitely going to be an adjustment for us both. And speaking of new chapters and fresh starts, what a way to begin mine! I don’t even bother grabbing my bags- I can get those later. My only concern right now is getting in there. I’m only ten minutes late, so hopefully I’m not the last to arrive. I toss my keys into a tote that I sling over my shoulder, climbing out of my car. At least I’m already dressed for training in le

JAX   I’m still in shock. My mouth is dry, my pulse is racing, and I feel like my stomach is gonna fall out of my butt. The search for my mystery girl is over, but it turns out that she’s the one single female in the six-pack who is off-limits: my best friend’s little sister. I can’t help but wonder whether the universe is playing some twisted joke on me right now. I knew there was something familiar about her that night, but I couldn’t quite place it. Seeing her standing next to her brother today, though, I wonder how the hell I could’ve been so blind- the family resemblance is striking. This is the sister I knew Theo had, but never met. The one he asked me to look out for just last week. Of course, when I agreed to that, I had no idea I’d already broken bro code in the worst way… Fucking hell, when I was telling Theo about my mystery girl that day, I was telling him about his own sister!

QUINN   I’m shoving the last of my clothes into a drawer when I hear a knock, glancing in the direction of the open door of the room in the squad dorms where I’m getting settled in. Brooke’s there leaning against the doorframe, dressed in ripped up jeans and a Journey t-shirt, a bright smile on her face. “Hey, stranger,” she greets when I turn to look at her, adjusting her black framed glasses on the bridge of her nose. “How are you settling in?” “Good,” I breathe, closing the open dresser drawer with my hip. I’ve already filled the dresser with all of the clothes I brought along. I straighten, waving Brooke inside with a hand. “Come on in!” She does, crossing the room and sinking down onto the edge of the bed, looking around. “This used to be my room, you know,” she says fondly. “Really?” I stride over to join her on the bed, perching on the edge beside her. I’ve still got my leggings and sports

JAX   Okay, so here’s the thing. I know Quinn’s off limits. I know I royally fucked up by hooking up with her once, and I can never do it again. But there’s no harm in just looking at her, right? I mean, it’s still my job to train her with the other recruits, and the least I can do is honor my promise to Theo to watch over her for the next few weeks. I’ve gotta look at her to do those things, so looking can’t be off limits. At least that’s what I’ve been telling myself all morning, because I couldn’t keep my fucking eyes off of Quinn if I tried. She’s wearing a little pair of black workout shorts and a red sports bra, and the red bra immediately conjures up the image of that lacy red lingerie she was wearing the night we hooked up. I’m a creep- a total fucking creep- because I just kept watching her tits bounce in her sports bra as she was doing warmup laps around the track, and I was popping a semi by the time warmups
