"You can't hide forever. Sooner or later you're going to have to face what you feel for us.” We were standing so close I could feel his breath on my face and my heart raced at his words. "I don't feel anything for you!” I snapped angrily, pulling my wrist from his grasp. "Give in to us, Mallory. The longer you resist, the harder it will be for you when the inevitable happens. And we are inevitable.” I shivered at his closeness and my argument died on my lips. Mallory Edwards was just an Omega, something the Black Moon Alpha triplets reminded her of everyday, never missing a chance to taunt or torment her. At sixteen, Mallory leaves the pack broken and full of self-doubt. But when she returns two years later, a beautiful and accomplished young woman, the triplets start to see her in a whole new light. But is it too little, too late? To make matters worse, more secrets are revealed when Mallory shifts for the first time and learns nothing about her life is what she thought it was. Mallory's journey to the truth is a dangerous one and she'll need all the help she can get to survive it. Who will be standing by her side when the dust settles? Or will she be standing at all?

View MoreCharlie’s POV Waking up to find Nathan missing from the bed was becoming a bit of a bad habit. After the way I found him last time, with Mallory wrapped up in his arms, I wasn’t sure I wanted to go looking for him again. But unfortunately, I couldn’t seem to sleep without him so I threw on my clothes and started the search. Once again, it didn’t take me long to locate him. He was in pretty much the same place I’d found him last time, only this time the situation couldn’t be more different. “Nathan! Are you okay? Where are you hurt?” He was covered in blood and I was tugging at his shirt, ready to strip him naked to find the source and stop the bleeding. “I’m fine, little lamb. It’s not my blood.” He assured me. Only once I knew he wasn’t hurt did the others standing with him come into focus. Another woman stood next to him, splattered head to toe in thick red blood. And a man the size of a house was practically plastered to her side, the blood from her body smeared down his
Nathan’s POV I fucked up! I knew it the minute I heard Charlie growl at me for hugging Mallory. Then Mallory not-so-subtly pointed out I should have been more sensitive to my new mate’s feelings and that made me feel even worse. I was so fucking pissed at myself, I ended up taking it out on everyone else with curt comments and stomping around like a toddler in a tizzy. Charlie’s voice had sounded so small when she introduced herself to Mallory. Then she apologized for growling like she had no right to stake a claim over me. I already hated that she didn’t see her worth and then I just gave her even more reason to question her own value. I’d actually found it kinda hot when she growled at me. If I hadn’t been so mortified at my own behavior, I would have told her so. Why did it all have to be so fucking complicated? Mallory and her triplets had just left and I finally had a chance to go in search of my Luna. I had no idea what I was going to say to fix my fuck up, but I was sure a
Charlie’s POV I woke up in the early hours of the morning to a full bladder and a very hard cock poking me in the ass. I managed to slip out of bed to relieve myself and guzzle down the glass of cool water Nathan had so thoughtfully brought for me when he came to bed last night. When I crawled back beside Nathan, I left a little bit of space between us, not wanting to disturb his sleep by snuggling back into him. Though every fiber of my being craved to feel him against me. So I was more than pleasantly surprised when he reached out and tugged me over until my back was flush against his chest and his morning wood was nestled between my thighs. I would have been sure he was awake if it weren’t for the fact his breathing never changed. With the comfort of his warmth surrounding me, it was no time at all before I drifted back to sleep. When I woke again, it was to the sunlight streaming in my bedroom window. I sat up and rubbed the sleep from my eyes but when I blinked them open,
Charlie’s POV “You-, you want to kiss me?” Well he wouldn’t after that stupid question. He pulled me into his chest and snaked one arm around my waist. His body felt so warm against me that before I realized it, I was melting into him. He gently tipped my chin up to face him and though I wasn't quite sure how to interpret the look in his eyes, It certainly made me weak in the knees. “I very much want to kiss you, Charlotte.” The sultry way he said my full name sent tingles of pleasure straight to my core. The sparks from our mate bond were unreal. I’d heard of them before but never understood what people meant when they talked about how addictive they are. Now I knew. Because if he never stopped touching me with those sparks firing between us like miniature fireworks, I would happily stay glued to him forever. “Um, okay.” I whispered, my eyes drawn to his full lips like magnets, unable to look away. The feeling must have been mutual because I could feel my lips tingling
Nathan’s POV “No one is rejecting anyone!” I growled at Charlie the moment the words left her lips. Fuck! This was all so confusing. Mallory was never going to be mine. A fool could see the strength of her bond with the triplets even if she hadn’t told me herself that she was choosing them. I was really trying to get over her. Why couldn’t the Goddess have given me just a little more time before she put my mate in my path? “Alpha Nathan-," Charlie sighed at me but I cut her off with a snarl. “Just Nathan, Charlie. You’re my mate! You don’t call me by my title.” I scolded. “But that’s just a technicality isn’t it? You don’t want me and I may not be perfect, but my wolf is. She doesn’t deserve to be strung along by a mate who doesn’t want her. So let’s just get the rejection over with.” She argued. “I never said I didn’t want you!” My response was nearly loud enough to constitute a bark and I immediately felt guilty for it. “You said you loved someone else. It’s the same
Charlie’s POV My mate winced with the admission that he was still in love with his ex, knowing it would cause me pain. And it did, whether it made logical sense or not. It was just my luck to be mated to a broken-hearted man when I was already so broken myself. I simply nodded at his admission and kept my expression blank. At least he was honest with me. He could have been one of those men who took advantage of the bond, used me for his own pleasure before rejecting me. Somehow, the realization he was a better man than that made it hurt even more. But I blinked back my tears and swallowed the lump in my throat. “You don’t need to apologize to me. We just met. You don’t owe me anything.” I said truthfully, though it pained me to hear my wolf’s sad whimpers. She deserved to find happiness with her mate. I could never understand why the Goddess had abandoned me to the miserable life I’d lived. But then Cheyenne had come to me and I finally felt, if not healed, at least whole. S
Charlie’s POV I was hiding again and I hated it. I hated being a scared little mouse all the time. I hated my life. Period. When my parents sent me here to Hazelwood pack to live with my brother, I thought it would be a new beginning for me, a chance to reinvent myself. But the only thing that changed was geography, because where Alpha Quade went terror and torment inevitably followed. I’d spent my life hiding in Blood Claw pack from men empowered by Alpha Quade to take what they wanted, with or without consent. Mostly without. When he named my brother his Beta in Hazelwood, my parents thought he’d be able to protect me here and he tried, he really did. But here I was, hiding again. “Let’s go. There's no one in here.” I heard one of the men searching the room say. My heart raced in fear but at hearing his words, hope rose that I might go undetected. I had no idea who these men were but they weren’t Quade’s men. I hadn't seen him or my brother for weeks. But in my experience,
16 Years Later Mallory’s POV “I don’t understand why we can’t come with you tonight.” Our sixteen year old daughter, Carys, whined. “Papa said it was up to you. If the dads are okay with it then why aren’t you?” I was going to kill Colton! Our sixteen year old twins, Carys and her brother Cameron, had been begging for weeks to watch their older siblings first shift. But after what I went through the night Raven came to me, I was terrified of what might happen. I knew the circumstances were totally different and there was no reason to think our triplets would experience the same difficulties I had, but I couldn’t help worrying. The last thing I wanted was for the twins to see something that traumatized them and made them dread their own shift for the next two years. “Apparently your dads have forgotten my first shift. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so quick to give their consent.” I grumbled. “The answer is still no. Nana Maeve is coming to spend the evening with you and she’d be
2 years later Clay’s POV “Daddy, up!” Carson reached for me, making grabby hands with his pudgy little fingers. I lifted him up, tossing him in the air twice before settling him on my hip. His tiny little giggles were addictive and of our three pups, he was the quickest to laugh. Not that the other two weren’t happy kids. They definitely were. Carson just seemed a little more demonstrative when it came to his emotions. “Cookie, pease!” He demanded, pulling on my shirt. At two years old, he still had a hard time with his Ls. Mom said my brothers and I were the same way at his age so we weren’t worried about it. It was just another reminder that he was still a baby and we wanted to enjoy that stage as long as possible. “And what did your mother say about that?” His cobalt blue eyes twinkled as he stared up at me and it was like looking at a tiny version of myself. “She busy.” He pouted, sticking out his bottom lip. “Oh yeah? Too busy to get you a cookie?” That didn’t see
