FAZER LOGINCASPIAN'S POV“Cas man, meet me at our spot. I have new intel. I’ve linked Jazz as well.”Whatever high I was on was cut short by Hudson’s link. He knew that the three of us only met up at our spot over vital information. As my third in command, he and Jasper are the two people I trust to help me take charge of the pack.Not that I was planning a coup against my father or anything.I guess this was just my way of trying to show him that I can lead, that I can take charge of things on my own. The two of them hadn’t reported the attack that involved my mate saving me.And it wasn’t even my idea not to.When we’d figured out that Autumn is my mate, Hudson was the one to suggest that we say nothing about the hunter attack, instead electing to be the one to look into things. While most third in commands aren’t seen as an important higher up person, I hold Hudson to a much higher regard.He’s the most brilliant strategist I know.“Your timing could not be worse,” Jasper announced as we walk
AUTUMN'S POV“They’re happy. They’re howling out of joy at finally finding us,” I remarked.Jasmine giggled. “Well, that’s just adorable.”I joined her in laughing when they abruptly stopped to growl lowly at us. “Bunch of weirdoes if you ask me. They don’t seem to take too kindly to the word adorable.”“And yet that just makes them even more adorable,” she taunted.“Alright boys! Get changed and meet us back inside,” I told them, putting their stuff down before Jasmine and I headed back inside.“I think I’d like some tea. Would you like some?” she offered.“Sure. Why not?” I agreed.We headed to the kitchen to make the tea, and I set up some coffee as well in case the guys preferred that. I was proven right when Jasper headed straight for it once they joined us in the lounge. I was surprised when Caspian also went for tea.“Tea isn’t gender specific, and it calms me,” he said before I could even get in a word.Jasmine chortled. “Well then.”“I wasn’t even going to say anything,” I def
AUTUMN'S POV“No one said anything,” Caspian said, looking confused.“Oh, she’s responding to my link,” I told him.“You guys can link?” the guys asked.“What do you mean destined to be ours for life?” Jasmine asked me.“Are we not supposed to be able to?” I asked the guys.“You linking with Cas makes sense because you’re mates, but you shouldn’t really be able to link with anyone else,” Jasper replied.“Unless it’s because of the bond she has with Jasmine,” Caspian added.Jasmine tapped me. “Excuse me lady. I asked you a question.”“Oh, right! Jasper over there is your mate,” I informed.She scowled while my boyfriend chose to hide his laugh with a cough. “Real subtle babe.”I glared at him while Jasper was eyeing me like I’m insane. “You’re so random.”“Thank you?” I said unsurely.“Oh, he is so right! You suck at breaking news to people. What the hell is a mate? Is it like a soulmate?” Jasmine asked.“That’s right. I will apologize on behalf of my own mate for her lack of decorum.
AUTUMN'S POV“Ahem!”They jumped apart, making Caspian laugh. “We weren’t doing anything!”“Not that your statement helps you, but I never actually said you did anything,” I pointed out.She glared at me as she moved away from him. “I assume your date went well?”“Apparently so did yours,” I teased.She went red in the face while Jasper chuckled, outstretching his hand. “We haven’t met officially. I’m Jasper, Caspian’s best friend.”“Ava,” I replied, shaking his hand.“You really moved her in,” Caspian commented, looking around the room.They had done a magnificent job, no doubt with Jas in charge. There wasn’t a single box in sight, and my place actually looked like a home. A strange feeling settled in my stomach at the thought that it possibly wouldn’t be my place forever.“It’s not like this one was going to do it,” Jas jabbed.Hand to chest, I mock gasped. “Ah gee, feeling the love.”She giggled, sitting on the one couch. “So, where did you lovely kids go?”I sat on the other couc
CASPIAN'S POVThe laugh I was holding escaped. “Imagine being so boring, but what does that have to do with anything?”She smacked my arm. “Vanilla ice-cream is the only one that matters, and I’m only mentioning it because I think I’ve received enough information to make my brain melt. We can get back to the normal part of the date now.”I was grateful for our isolation simply because I couldn’t recall laughing as much as I did in that moment. I rarely laugh in front of other people, and it wasn’t hard to tell that Autumn was pleased to see me doing so.She opened the basket and laid out the food while I connected my phone to the speaker I’d brought along. I put on some soft music and poured us some drinks as we fell into a light conversation revolving around our likes and dislikes.It wasn’t all that hard to figure out that she’d had enough of the heavy stuff.Despite not knowing much about her past or where she was before coming here, or what brought her here to begin with, I was gl
CASPIAN'S POVShe frowned at that. “You said werewolves can’t mate with humans. Which creatures can they mate with, if other supernatural creatures exist as well?”I smiled at that. “We’ll talk about other supernatural creatures another time, but as far as werewolf matings go, the rarity of cross matings means that we don’t really have enough information to go on. We know more about cross matings between other creatures.”“Which werewolf cross matings have you heard of?” she asked.“Two where it was werewolves and witches, one where it was a werewolf and a vampire, and one where it was a werewolf and a faery,” I listed.She looked thoughtful. “So, I could be either one of those?”I nodded. “Where did you grow up?”“Around humans, that’s for sure,” she replied vaguely.“Or, you probably didn’t know that they were supernatural,” I offered.“Doubt it,” she murmured.She was shutting down, and I had to stop her. “Do you have any other questions?”“Why did you almost kill Fenix?” she shot
