BETA ARLO.“The mark on Luna Amara and Catherine’s neck, they’re so beautiful…” Mindy said as she ran her fingers on my chest. We were lying on the ground in the middle of the forest, which was rarely visited unless part of the route for patrollers. “I wonder if you think I deserve to have your mark on my neck…” She added before tilting her head up and meeting my gaze.“Mindy… The only reason you don’t have it is because I don’t want to force my mark on you if you’re not ready for it. But anytime you want it, baby, I will be happy to mark you. It’ll be a dream…” I told her with sincerity in my voice as my eyes gazed on her neck with hunger. I brushed a finger against her soft spot as I continued to speak. “And I would be honored to wear your mark on my skin, if you wish to give me one.”I was pouring my heart out to her, and I didn’t expect it would make her sad, so I panicked when her body began shaking from her sobs. “Baby… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to pressure you…” I sat up, tak
BETA ARLO. I was grateful to be invited to hang out with Alpha Zach and his friends. Mindy and I needed this so we could enjoy the day without thinking of our responsibilities. Or for me not to think about Gray. I still hadn’t told my mate about him and what I did to him. I didn’t want to keep any secrets from her. Mindy was already so protective of me that I knew it would bother her that I did something barbaric because of her. So in the end, I decided to keep it for a while. And today, I decided not to think of anything but her while we enjoyed the company of our friends. I was humming as I carried the cooler that I picked up from Alpha Zach’s car, as Alpha Jace wanted to start drinking beer while we grilled. I was still halfway to where I needed the cooler to be when I spotted the females already in the river. My eyes immediately searched for my mate, wanting to make sure she was okay and comfortable. She told me Luna Amber gave her a one-piece swimsuit that she could use. I
ALPHA KAIRO. “What are you wearing?” I asked, my forehead creased as I pulled her away from me and met her gaze. She giggled. “It’s swimwear.”“Is that the only option available in the store?” I asked as I pulled my shirt off. She nodded, but I could tell she was not taking the topic seriously. Once I had my shirt on my hands, I placed it on her head, and she immediately raised her arms, ready to put it on. “Good girl.”“You’re so old school, Kairo.” She said, rolling her eyes playfully. “They’re all mated here.”My arms crossed across my chest as my eyebrows raised. “It doesn’t matter what you say, but flashing that ass in bright daylight is not a good idea.”“Are you not a shifter?”“Fine. You can remove my shirt and give it back to me.” I told her, my forehead still creased.“This is not even mine.” She dropped her gaze from me, and her expression softened. “We didn’t know we’d swim, so we’re all wearing Amber’s swimwear. So obviously, I let them all choose first, as they surely
ALPHA KAIRO.Cassidy sent me a message that she would visit Amber in Zach’s territory together with Amara and Catherine, and their mates. And that they’d be staying there for three days. For some reason, I wanted to go there too. Maybe I was missing my friends, especially Zach. It had been too long since that fucker even looked at me. So I did what I needed to do and finished all my tasks before telling Dad I would leave the territory and be out for two days. I get the usual spiel that I’m an Alpha and should focus on being one instead of still hanging out and partying. How could I tell him I wasn’t partying all this time that he thought I was just loitering around? Ever since Catherine’s Claiming, Cassidy had been asking me to drive her around Orleans, the city next to my territory and where she was studying. And like a gallant knight, I always obliged. I could definitely say no, but knowing Cassidy, she would never ask me again if I turned her down, and I bet she wouldn’t go ar
BETA FEMALE MINDY.But the moment I saw him arrive carrying a cooler, my heart skipped a beat. I couldn’t help but get out of the water so he would see me. I forgot there were other men around. Or maybe because I never once saw anyone lingering their gaze on me. Amber wasn’t lying that the others’ attention would only be fixated on their mates. Even Catherine, with her stomach already swelling, I saw how Beta Tyler kept looking at her and licking his lips. I wanted to see if Arlo would have the same reaction. So I was excited and nervous at the same time. I kept telling myself that if Arlo didn’t show the same reaction as the others, I would not be disappointed. As he had already told me how he loved every part of my body. That was already enough. “Can you give me five minutes? I just need five minutes….” I heard him say it, and my eyes locked with his. He was walking toward the river, directly where I was standing, while taking off his shirt. My eyes widened. I didn’t want him
AMBER. I walked up to him, and once I was standing before him, I bent and cupped his jaw. We gazed at each other’s eyes as I let a warm smile curl on my lips. “Thank you for this cabin, my love. And thank you for suggesting that we share this day with them here.”“You’re welcome, Little Rose. You know I will give you the world if I can.” He said before he leaned his head closer and pecked my lips. Simple words, but I knew they had deeper meaning. “Me, too, Zach. I would, if I could.” I mumbled back.“Hey, lovebirds! Enough of that…” Cassidy’s voice rang in the air, and when I spun around, I saw her with her hands on her hips at the center of the living room. I thought she was referring to us, but looking around, everyone was attached to their mates. “We need to set this straight now. This is a friendship camp, not a lover’s lane.” She continued, tapping her foot on the wooden floor. “Yes, ma’am,” Jace answered. “Which means that room…” She pointed at our bedroom, the only bedroom
