Chapter 5
Ethan was a little sad when he realized Emma was all grown up. He'd never called her anything but Bug their entire lives. He knew that soon it would be up to someone else to protect her and surprisingly that seemed okay to him. He was lost in these thoughts as he started to head upstairs to get ready for their party, he was actually more excited for Emma than himself. Just as his foot hit the bottom stair the doorbell rang.
He knew it would be Katie as he yanked the door open, in an attempt, to scare her. This was a little game they played together. He would scare the shit out of her and she would stumble, drop something or knock into the closest object. It worked again! He yanked the door open and as if on cue, she dumped out the entire contents of her bag.

"Let's forget about the mate stuff for tonight. This room is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen and the music is perfect. Let's just dance, mingle and have some fun." Emma said to Katie as Katie gave her a skeptical look. Katie told her how much she loved her and that she was there to make sure her friend had the greatest night whether she found her mate or not.Emma said hello and thanked every guest she passed on her way to the dancefloor. A few times she slowed down while speaking to her guests who happened to be over eighteen, single and of course attractive, taking her time to take a deep breath. She still smelled a mixture of chicken marsala, lilies and frosting. "Never mind", she thought "I'm just going to make tonight fun all of these people are here to celebrate me and Ethan. They deserve to have more than a mopey birthday girl." She was actually proud of herself for feeling and acting so mature. "Come on Katie", she shouted over the music. "Let's have s

Ethan's mind was a whirlwind of emotions as he drove himself to the venue. In all honesty, he'd hoped he had followed all traffic laws on his way because he'd driven on autopilot, his mind too busy to remember if he'd stopped at lights or signs. He knew he needed to focus on tonight's events. Although he felt the night belonged to Emma, he knew he had friends, family and acquaintances who would be there to wish him well and as the future Alpha he needed to be present. He needed to show he was strong and a leader, not some sad sap who seemed to be lost in his own thoughts.As he pulled into a space, he saw that there were quite a few pack members who had already arrived. He looked up to see Brad approaching him as he exited his car. Brad was one his best friends and really the only pack member who came close

As Ashley walked away from Ethan with the saddest look Ethan had ever seen, he saw Stacey coming towards him with a very-determined look. He thought to himself, "I need a change of scenery." He headed toward the door on the front of the building pretending he couldn't hear Stacey call his name over the thump of the music that was coming from inside. He was much faster than her and was able to make it inside and into the men's room before she even crossed the threshold. Brad had watched this play out as he sat at the head table with Meghan. He gave a small chuckle, stood up and placed a kiss on his wife's forehead. "I'll be back." He laughed. Meghan replied happily, "Take your time, I'm really enjoying myself." Being sat at the head table was a huge honor and Meghan was completely engrossed in her conversation with Luna Catherine Reid. Their talk of babies had Meghan even more excited than she had alrea

"Ethan, can you come here a minute?" Ethan heard the familiar voice of Bella, his lab partner in his high school chemistry class. Bella had the look on her face that Ethan was starting to become quickly familiar with. "Not you too." He whispered under his breath. Although this time he welcomed the distraction. The thought of Brian being welcomed into the party was not a thought that he found welcoming. "Hi Bella, how's it going?" He gave her a friendly smile but nothing more, he had unconsciously decided he would not be leading anyone on ever again...even if he had to pay for sex. Bella's mouth formed into a pout as she said. "I dropped my keys in the grate on the corner. I can't reach them. Could you help me?" He was more than willing to put a little more distance between himself and the party, "Sure, lead the way."

Ethan repeated the words his father spoke, "There's been a breach in the lower territory?" Only Ethan's words came out as a question, not a statement. He was so confused. He had never known anything but peace within The Great Lakes Pack. His father broke the spell he was under when he said, "Yes, son. I can explain everything later nut right now I need you. I need you to gather all of the pack members who you've been training with. Find as many as you can. I will meet you at the house in thirty minutes. Please son, hurry."At the seriousness he heard in
Ethan's Choice Chapter 11
Ethan had known for a very long time that his grandfather had been killed during the last breach of the lower territory nearly twenty years ago and it was rumored that the murder had been overly cruel. His thoughts were a jumbled mess. His father was telling him that it was important to know the details, but did Ethan really want to know? Afterall, his life had been quite peaceful. He was told at a young age that he would train to become a warrior, but a life was much more fulfilling if that training was never needed.Charles stared straight ahead in the direction he was driving while he contemplated how he would begin his story. "When your grandfather was a young, an age to become mated, it wasn't uncommon to be mated with a human or the product of a human-werewolf relationship. My mother, your grandmother was a half-blood." Ethan let out a slight gasp. He had known that type of mating was more common in the past, but he hadn't known that he had human blood running through h
Ethan's Choice Chapter 12
Charles and Ethan talked a little about the information Charles had shared. There really wasn't a lot more that could be said. Everything made sense now. The rumors about Robert Reid's death were always stopped at it was very cruel. Ethan did not think that cruel was a strong enough word, but he was glad he did not know the truth before today. Every werewolf knows that there is no pain that can compare to being touched by silver. Ethan had never even considered that there would be people in this world who were evil enough to inject it. He felt a pain for his grandfather, a man he had never met. The agony that he faced while not only being injected but also learning of his mate's murder while being forced to listen to how his son would die was vile.
