I’ve been going through this book for hours. There’s a lot of information about past werewolves that were blessed with a mark from the moon goddess. They all received different marks with different meanings. From what I’ve read so far, they all have one thing in common. Multiple mates. It’s almost like a curveball the Moon Goddess throws at us. I wonder if she’s laughing at us as we try to figure out what she wants us to do.In some cases, the werewolf was meant to claim and bond with all of her mates, but in others she was meant to make a choice between them. Either way, the mates were all brought into the werewolf’s life for a purpose. I took a break from reading and looked up at the ceiling. Can you just tell me that much? A little hint as to what I’m supposed to do with my mates.My mind is running in a hundred different directions. How I’m I supposed to know what I’m meant to do. Better yet, what will happen if I mess up and do the wrong thing?I heard a knock on the door. “Com
I didn’t hold back. I told Jacie everything. She already overheard the main details anyway. She understands why I didn’t tell her, and luckily, she wasn’t mad. I love her carefree attitude. “When and how did this happen,” I pointed between her and Ezra. Jacie laughed, “We met in our first class. He’s the one I was with when you heard me in the hallway. “Oh geez, why didn’t you tell me?”“I didn’t know you guys knew each other until he came here to get your clothes.”“And I just didn’t tell you,” Ezra smirked.I threw my pillow at him, “Now I know why it took you so long to get me an outfit, punk.”“You’re lucky I like you both,” I smirked.“Now that the air is clear, and our secrets are out, what did Josiah say?”Drake’s been giving me a death stare since he got here, and he finally linked me. “Why are we talking about any of this with him here? You promised us you wouldn’t tell your mates yet, but it doesn’t seem like any of this is a surprise to him.”“No, I promised I wouldn’t t
Creed has been quiet since the boys left. I can tell he’s thinking about everything. He hasn’t told me a lot about his home life, but I have a feeling that something is bothering him. “I’ve got to go relieve some tension. You have my number if you want to meet up later tonight.”I nodded, “OK. I’ll talk to you later.”He gave me a quick kiss before heading out the door. I decided it was best not to question him. I can tell he’s upset, and I know he needs to shift. While he’s hiding his identity, he can only shift at night. He would be seen too easily during the day. “Now that we’re finally alone, tell me what you know about Ezra. I didn’t know you guys were from the same pack.”I laughed, “Actually Jacie, Ezra is my cousin. So, yeah, I know him well. Our family is really close.”“I had no idea. He is so sweet, and funny, and.”“And if you finish that sentence, I’m going to smack you.” I laughed. “Sexy,” Jacie smiled.I hung my head and laughed. “The Green boys are popular with the
I opened my eyes to Ryker, Drake, and Ezra all standing over me.“I’m sorry,” is all I could say as I took in their expressions. Drake and Ryker both look pissed, while Ezra looks more concerned.“What happened? You were fine when we left you. That was only a couple of hours ago,” Ryker said as he helped me sit up.“I went to a party with Jacie.”“Damn it, Bella! You clearly can’t drink,” Ryker yelled.“I only had one beer. It wasn’t the alcohol that made me lose control.” I bit my bottom lip as I took a deep breath.“Are you OK?” I looked behind the boys to see who else was there. “Dawson, how long have you been here?”“Long enough,” he looked at me like I had a third eye.I turned my head and looked up at the boy’s. Drake’s eyes are flickering. He’s so upset, he’s fighting his wolf for control.I looked back at Dawson, “I can explain.”“I’d like to hear that explanation too.” Great, someone else is walking up behind Dawson. I closed my eyes for a minute. Shit, please don’t tell me
Creed turned around and looked back at the water. “Instead of turning away from me, why don’t you tell me what’s really bothering you.” I stared at his back and waited for him to turn around to face me. “What do you mean? You know why I’m upset.” “No, I don’t. I know you’re lying to yourself. You’re not really mad at Dawson or me. We agreed not to keep any more secrets from each other, but you’re hiding something. I can feel it.” “All I’m trying to do is protect my mate.” Creed shook his head as he finally turned around to face me. “Creed, I appreciate the effort, but I don’t need any more bodyguards. I can take care of myself and if I need it, I have plenty of back up. What I need is someone that will stand beside me and let me figure my life out.” I stood up and walked closer to him. I need to make sure I have his full attention. “I’ve been protected my whole life. I need to experience things. I’ve also known forever that this mark has a meaning. It’s time to figure out what it
***Warning - Mature Content ***Creed slowly lowered his lips to mine, and I opened slightly, allowing his tongue to enter. He deepened the kiss as he laid me down on the bed.“If you want me to stop, just say the word,” he whispered as he started kissing down my neck. The fire is burning in my soul, there’s no way I'll stop him.I can feel tingles and sparks all the way down my body, even though his lips are only on my neck. I arched my back and pressed my chest to his. I need to be closer to him.Creed let out a soft giggle, “Slow down firecracker. We’ll get there.”He sat up slightly and ran his hands up my sides before he lifted my shirt off me. I shivered from the sudden feeling of being exposed. I’ve never been this far with anyone. I’m nervous, but I’m comfortable with Creed. He would never hurt me.His eyes racked over my exposed skin, and I noticed a soft grin on his face. A look of pride, he likes what he’s seeing.“Flip over,” Creed tapped my hip. “I have all night to pleas
I looked around at the mirrors surrounding me. I’m alone. Always alone to be the only witness of the destruction that I know will play in these mirrors. I stared at my reflection, and my heart started racing as I thought of the last show I watched in those mirrors. If my family is getting attacked, I need to figure out who’s behind it. Who are the blurred images?I waited for what felt like an eternity. My image finally started blurring, but it’s not my family that’s reflecting back at me this time. It’s Creed, bloody and bruised. He screamed as the chains that held him rattled. The mirrors surrounding him played images of burning buildings and people running. I can hear their screams, their innocent. Just as fast as they came, the images vanished. They were replaced by a battle, but I don’t recognize anyone. The image of a black wolf is positioned above the battle in the mirror. An image of a vampire was on the mirror next to it. I can hear screams of pain and heartbreak as I watc
I hung the phone up and tried to make sense of everything. Things are not always what they seem. What does that even mean? Creed is possessive and a little rough around the edges, but I can tell that he cares about me. I haven’t been able to spend much time with Dawson, but he seems nice. That brings me to Rowen, who I haven’t even formally met yet. I think I need to get out more. I’ve been spending so much time in my room and with Creed. I feel like I’m missing something. I need to open my eyes and pay attention to what’s going on around me. I also need to spend some time with my other two mates. After last night, I think Creed’s on the same page as me. I smiled as I thought about last night again. Even after the crazy dream I had, I feel calm. Weirdly calm. I can’t help but wonder what my other two mates will do to me. I feel selfish thinking like that, but I can’t help it. All three of them are gorgeous in their own ways. I don’t know Rowen yet, but Creed and Dawson have the
