Grayson was mad that Brianna had outsmarted him, locking him in the cage until Aiden found him the next day.

It had been humiliating, and he knew he’d never hear the end from his younger brother, but as they entered the forest and he scented Brianna in the wind together with the scent of other unfamiliar wolves, all his anger dissipated and was replaced with worry.

He heard from Maggie that several unknown wolves had visited the bar the previous night without announcing their pack affiliation, and left just as fast as they arrived. It was as if they knew the person they were searching for was not at the bar.

Their scents had been weak by the time Grayson arrived, so he could not determine if the men had come through the area before.

Aiden reported finding an unoccupied SUV along the road leading to the other entrance to the forest, giving Grayson more reason for concern.

He had been running around the forest in his wolf form to cover more ground. It was in this form that he got a str

    Grayson scented another wolf in the air as soon as he arrived and figured it was probably Bran’s scent that lingered in the air.There were some similarities to Brianna’s, so he did not pursue it. Instead, he instructed Aiden to track it so he could speak to Brianna alone.When she moved to wear the shirt he handed over, he scented yet another wolf.Immediately, he stuck his nose on her neck, not caring if it seemed inappropriate. The sudden attack surprised Brianna and pushed her back to the ground. Grayson straddled her hips, sniffed her hair, then neck as irritation multiplied by the second.“Who did you lie with?” He growled, anger rumbling in his chest.“What are you talking about?” She asked, clueless.“There’s another man’s scent on your skin.”“That’s probably my brother’s scent.” She stuttered as the lie rolled off her tongue.“You let your brother lick your entire body?”Brianna choked on a sob, remembering the wolf who had his hands and mouth running across her skin.He al

    Brianna could not believe she had been naked the entire time, and Grayson still had his pants on. She thought of getting up, conscious of where they were, but he pushed her back down, his lips following the path he used earlier to get back up to her breasts, sucking the globes into his mouth, awakening the passion he already started. Brianna could not sit quietly still. She wanted more of what Grayson offered. Bree wanted to roam her hands and feel his naked body under her fingertips and make him feel the same pleasure she did.Slipping her hand into his pants made Grayson gasp, so she felt encouraged to continue. His cock was hard as a police baton, yet the skin around it felt soft and silky, making her want to put the thing in her mouth and suck it like an ice pop.Grayson kissed her hand and stood on the side to discard his pants. He had gone commando underneath for easy shifting, so his cock sprung up as he unclasped the buttons on his jeans.He was built like a Greek god. Perfec

    “My brother is here with our pack members,” he explained seconds before a group of men of varying ages burst out of the bushes, all half-clothed.“There’s nobody else around,” Aiden reported. “…just you and your mate. Congratulations, brother. You’ll be the first. The pack will be delighted.”Grayson pulled Brianna up, her legs still feeling wobbly. The sudden motion of getting up made her woozy. She had to grab onto Grayson’s waist to keep upright. “I’m here,” he said, wrapping his arms protectively around her.“And her brother?” He asked, while kissing the top of her head. Brianna stared in the far-off distance. In her preoccupation with Grayson, she had forgotten about Brandon and whatever had happened the previous night. Realizing her error in judgment made her feel like a horrible sister. She had awoken oblivious of her surroundings and one look at Grayson and she jumped into his bed... forest. It was not important. What’s important is that Bran was still out there. Hopefully,

    “How can you hear me?”“It’s an ability that pack members and mates have with each other since we are now connected.”“Did the entire pack hear me, too?”“No, just me, unless your abilities enable you to speak to people in their minds.”She shook her head. Bree retracted the search for Bran to prevent her from accidentally divulging their secret.She wondered if there was a range to her abilities, or was the mind-speak like her connection to Bran where she could push it further?“It’s so loud. Do you hear all these sounds all the time?”“Loud? It should just be you and me on the channel. Do you hear the other pack members, too?”“No, but I hear murmurs.” Brianna paused to listen. She could definitely hear the rest of the pack talking about her and teasing each other, but she did not think her findings should be shared with Grayson right away. They had sex and all, but she knew nothing about the guy. What if he seduced her to keep her in control?So, until she completely trusted Grays

    Using energy to block communication from the rest of the pack and learning to filter the opinions she shared with Grayson took a toll on Brianna. As soon as her head hit the back of the car seat, she dozed off immediately.Grayson tried to rouse her several times, but she was sleeping too deeply, so he had to carry her upstairs to the spare bedroom to get her energy back. Brianna woke up, momentarily oblivious to her surroundings. The last thing she remembered was running out of the cave with Bran and encountering the alpha who tried to rape her and the three wolves who had ganged up on Bran.She was snug under the covers and the heavy comforter paired with the heavy woodwork on the bed frame gave her an idea that she was in Grayson’s house. The air blew in through the window, and Brianna shuddered at the eerie sensation she felt when the cold air touched her skin.‘Bran, I hope you’re safe. I’ll come find you.’ She pushed the thoughts into the darkness as she looked out the window,

    Brianna lifted her eyes with suspicion. They both knew Grayson took the diary because he wanted to read what was inside, but since he said nothing untruthful, there was no lie in his statement.“Are you the one my brother spoke of on the last page? Were your pack members hunting him down because we did not belong to any pack?”“I saw that entry, and I asked everyone, but no one had been in the forest the last few weeks.”Brianna held his gaze. So she was correct that he wanted to read the diary.“Aside from the abandoned car they found a few miles from the forest entrance a few days ago when you disappeared, there was no record of wolves visiting from other packs, either. But then again, it’s a big forest and several trails connect from Mexico to Canada, so they could have come from anywhere.”Brianna nodded. “I see.”“Did you like the bedroom? Were you comfortable enough?” He asked, changing the topic.“I haven’t seen much, but it’s lovely. Thanks for letting taking me in. I want to

    “You can’t let thoughts like that leak out and expect me to do nothing about it.”“I can’t stop it. You make me lose focus.” She looked away shyly, licking her lips unconsciously.“I feel the same way about you, but I don’t want to hear that you’re out of control when you make love with me.” Bree looked up, pursed her lips, and nodded.“I want to know that you feel every kiss.” He lifted the left hand he held and brought it to his lips, giving it a light kiss.Bree held her breath when his mouth continued to up her arm. She never knew the crook of her elbow was an erogenous zone until Grayson licked it.Brianna sighed. Her legs felt like they’ve turned to jelly, she had to lean on the counter to steady herself. The oversized shirt she wore hitched up her thigh, and Grayson’s temperature shot another degree.The pastel pink shirt made her look like a giant cotton candy ready to be eaten.“Gray…” Bree touched his hair to stop what he was doing, but the soft texture distracted her.“I l

    Bree smirked. “It’s okay, I’m comfortable being naked. My boobs are perky enough I don’t need a bra, but it seems like you need them for extra padding.”She was used to taking digs from popular girls at school and had become somewhat of an expert when it came to clap backs and putting mean girls in their place.“Ugh! I have boobs. Thank you very much.” An irritated Marina adjusted her breasts to give a more pronounced cleavage. “And Grayson loves them the way they are.” “I bet he’s never seen them.” Marina stomped away, disgusted that Brianna had been quick-witted. She thought that the clueless, non-shifting werewolf was stupid. But being oblivious to their ways did not mean she was not smart.“I remembered giving you enough clothes to wear. Are you really naked underneath this sweater?” Grayson had his lips close to her ear, his breath fanning her hair. Bree laughed as she turned around. “Everyone is naked underneath their clothes, unless your entire body is covered in fur.”Her ga

    “Hey, Marg,” Bran and Marina enter the bar, followed by ten of their new friends. “Can you give my new friends their first drink and charge it on my tab.”Marg raised her brow. “Friends of yours?” She was suspicious. Since when did Brandon have friends the pack didn’t know about?She tried to catch Marina’s attention, but the younger woman escaped to the ladies’ room. Who were these people and why were there so many of them? Why did they come?Are they here for peace or to cause problems?These are just some of the questions she needed answered. However, it was not her place to confront the individuals involved.Marg sent a message to Grayson through the pack link to alert him of the newcomers. Ten werewolves on a motorcycle can mean anything, and she wanted to err on the side of caution.Several minutes later, Grayson and Brianna appear at the bar as if they came casually. Like they were out on a date and had come to the pub for drinks.The jukebox was blaring an old song about the

    “Brandon! Get out of the way! A truck is coming.” She yells while pulling him toward the trees. But Brandon did not budge and kept his ground. He did not want to confront the creature lurking behind the shadows unless necessary.It was too late, Marina thought. When the truck hit the rock, the momentum would crumple the vehicle and them at the same time. She did not want to lose Bran to an accident they could have prevented, so she decided to stay with him. Better die together than cry because of his loss.‘It’s okay. It’s not a truck.’ He communicated through their link as the lights came closer, halting a couple of feet before the rock, the sound of machinery louder than before.His range to hear and see things around him was more enhanced than Marina’s because of his alpha blood. So he knew way before she did that it wasn’t a big vehicle that was approaching.“Need help there young werewolf?” A deep voice boomed behind the light and Marina’s eyes widened in fear as she scented at l

    Inside the vehicle, Marina could not sit still. How did Seth know where she was, and how did he know she would be on a date with Brandon?Brandon asked her about a song and she said yes instead of telling him she’d heard it before. She could not focus. Seth just thanked her for luring Brandon away from the pack and threatened to kill him.Marina needed all her faculties to detect any coming danger, so she tuned Bran out, slid the windows down, and listened to the sounds outside.They were halfway to the border between Silvercreek and the next town when her fears finally manifested.She saw glimpses of a werewolf running alongside their car hidden behind the treeline. He was running so fast she could hear him grunting as he ran. Like in a horror film, the hair on her arms stood on end and she knew it was only a matter of minutes before they met this wolf in person.The action was easy to miss by a regular human, but since she had enhanced hearing and could see in the dark, she was su

    Marina walked down the stairs, and Brandon couldn’t help but hold his breath. He always knew she was beautiful, but with minimal makeup and her hair down, she looked younger.The thick foundation, black eyeliner, and red lipstick she wore most of the time made her look more mature, hiding her soft, smooth skin. Having all that armor made him wonder what she wanted to hide under all that facade.“You look so—” Brandon hesitated. He had no words to describe her.“I need to change.” Marina felt conscious and retreated up the steps, but before she could reach the top, Bran’s arm shot out to stop her.“You don’t,” he said after pulling her to his chest, lifting her off the ground and making her feet dangle.His face was positioned right on top of the V of her neckline, and he gave her a naughty smile. “I like this view too.” His eyes lowered, and she covered her breasts with her hands.“Let me go. This is inappropriate.”“Okay, I will let you go if you promise not to change. I like your o

    The answer was yes. She wanted to have sex with Bran, to risk the wrath of their alpha and his mate, to try her chance at happiness. If she would get exiled, why not for her happiness? But now was not the right time and place, not at the barracks, where it felt impersonal and hurried.‘Let’s go on a date first, like you suggested.’ Brandon groaned silently against her neck, but the rumble in his chest told her how disappointed he felt.‘Then we can do all this and more after the… third date?’‘Third date?’ He whined through their link, yet his hand never stopped moving.‘Isn’t that the norm?’‘How about I show you what I can do with my mouth now?’‘Oh…’ How was she supposed to say no when his hands alone brought her to her knees? ‘I have no doubt it’ll be—aghhh…good—aghhh… Brandon, don’t stop.’ Marina fused their lips and clutched his hair as the feeling in her core intensified. There was no sound anyone could hear, but Bran could feel what she did through their link. She was about t

    The couple awoke in the dark at the same time, clothes covering their bodies, and sweat running down their backs. They were back at the barracks on the bed they slept in, arms wrapped around each other.The dream had been so real he felt the slickness when their naked bodies glided against each other. He was having an erotic dream about Marina and he wondered if he walked into her dream or if he dragged her into his.Bran looked into Marina’s eyes as she rubbed their legs together, noticing they were clouded. Was she still asleep? Should he wake her up?He sniffed the air and scented her arousal. It was a big possibility that they had just shared every part of his sexually charged dream.‘What were you dreaming about?’ He touched the tip of their noses together and asked through their link. Her answer would mean she was awake.Marina shook her head. She had to erase the image of Bran covering her with his naked body. The dream was too racy to be shared.‘You were there.’ He captured h

    Bran was in the shadows listening to their conversation, so when Marina stepped out to head to the barracks, he surprised her by appearing out of nowhere.“Is that true?” He asked.“What is true?” Marina feigned ignorance.“That you were in love with him before?” She walked away before speaking.“It was a childhood crush. He was the only handsome guy in town, so it was only right that every girl in this area was infatuated with him.”“And now?”“Now…” She looked over at Bran and smirked. “I have to check my options. Let me look at your face and check if you’re handsome enough.”Bran grabbed her arm and pulled her to his chest. “Are looks really that important?” He asked while tipping up her chin. He wanted to stare into her eyes while she gave her answer.“Yes... No...”“Are you saying you’d settle because there’s no one else but me?” Marina raised her brow as if insulted.“I have standards.”“And I’m below that?” Brandon wasn’t vain. He had no delusions he was handsome but didn’t thi

    “I wanted to take Marina out for a date. Where do you think we should go?” Bree gave Grayson a knowing look.The guys had their mouths hanging open. “Her?” One asked, then stopped when Marina glared at him, beating Bran to come to her rescue.“There’s a steakhouse a couple of towns over.”“Why would you go to a steakhouse when you have the best beef here at the ranch?” He jabbed the guy beside him.“Go to the Italian place in Greenville, they make handmade pasta,” Gran interjects.“Yes, that place is nice. It gave me an excuse to hold your gran close when we danced.”‘Don’t do it. I will never forgive you.’ Marina’s voice conveyed in his head.‘Why not? I want everyone to know you and I are dating.’‘Please don’t do this.’‘You are mine and they better know it.’“It is decided then. So Marina, will you go out with me?” Bran asks with a mischievous twinkle in his eye.“Go ahead.” Gran chides. “The man has spoken. Will you leave him hanging?” The dinner guests went silent, eager to hear

    Marina ran from the kitchen. She didn’t mean to get overcome by lust, but whenever she was near Brandon, her brain was clouded with their nightly visits. In her dreams, Brandon called her beautiful and made her feel special, but they were just dreams that she conjured to feel less lonely. She chose Brandon because he was from out of town and knew nothing about her past.His eyes did not hold pity or disgust when he looked at her. She felt wanted when he said things that made her heart skip a beat.‘I’m beautiful,’ she smiled while lugging feed for the ducks and chickens on both shoulders.“Chick, chick, chick, chick, chickens!” Amelia called to her egg-laying pets. “Good morning! It’s time to come out.”“They missed you when you were gone.” “You think so?”“Of course, because I missed you a lot,” Marina said awkwardly.“So why didn’t you call me?”“I figured you were enjoying yourself so I left you alone. I wanted you to have some fun. Plus, I wanted you to think I was grown up enou
