LOGINBe normal around her. She smelled amazing.“I wanted to apologize,” Zion said.“What for?”“I shouldn’t have let go of your hand, and you almost died on me.”The very thought that he had been the one to almost kill his mate scared him. He wouldn’t ever put her at risk.“Please. Will everyone stop going on about that? I’m tired of hearing about how I almost died and lost everything. I’m perfectly okay right now. Shouldn’t that matter?”He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her against him.“It’s important to me. You could have died.”“And money grows on trees. Believe it or not, almost dying was a good thing.”“How?”“I got to go and visit my Uncle Paul.”“He’s not a wolf.”“I know, but he’s been amazing to me.”He watched as she bit her lip, glancing down at the ground.“He’s taught me to accept myself.”She shrugged.“I know it’s crazy and I’ll never be a queen at fighting or anything, but I’m stronger now.”She looked stronger and happier within herself.“I’m happy for yo
“Anything. You know, your father and I, we didn’t exactly get along when we were younger,” Diana said.“You didn’t?”“No, he was a hothead and arrogant. He’d strut around the pack as if being there was his very right. I mean, it was, but I hated him for it. I wasn’t anything special. For the most part I tried to steer clear of him. When he was around he’d try to show off. At the time I just thought he was being egotistical, showing off to the girls because he was the future beta. I was wrong.”“Mom, did Dad fancy you?”“That he did. I didn’t know about it until we both transitioned.”His parents were the same age.“He came looking for me straight away. I was by the lake, and when I saw him, I just knew he was going to be my mate.”She chuckled.“I didn’t know what to say to him, and so I just treated him like I always did. It didn’t stop David from coming back for me. I think in a weird way, he fell in love with me during the time I made him wait. Whenever he tried to bring up the mat
Silence descended on the room. She looked at each of them, smirking.“I’m kidding. God, what happened to your sense of humor while I was away? Anyone would think that you died.”She rolled her eyes, taking a bite of the sandwich that she picked up off the tray. Minutes later her father entered the room. Something passed between her mother and father, but she didn’t know what.“Welcome home, honey.”He kissed her head like he always did before going around the counter to his woman. She watched the love passing between her parents. Would she ever have that?Her uncle believed she would. She was stronger now than she’d ever been before.“I’m just going to head up to my room. Unpack.”“Okay, honey,” Emma said.She grabbed her cases and walked out of the room.“Well, what did the alpha say?” her mother asked once Maya was out of sight.“He’s going to look into it, but he doesn’t know if there’s anything we can do. There are not many runts, and if they are, they don’t survive in a pack long
Maya laughed as her family rushed to embrace her. Even after all this time, they were all scared to even touch her.“Hey, everyone.”She wrapped her arms around all of her sisters and then her brothers. Rachel and Tom held back. They were the eldest boy and girl.“Honey, I’m so pleased you’re back,” Emma said.“Uncle Paul didn’t want me to leave, but I thought it was time for me to see you guys.”It had been three years since she’d been home. The whole family visited her Uncle Paul, who wasn’t part of the wolf pack, during the holidays. They had all undergone the transition with Holly bringing up the rear last summer with Zion. Maya had never forgotten about Zion. He was one of the few guys who’d taken the time to be nice to her.“I’m so pleased you made it through your transition,” she said, talking to Holly.Her sister looked at her with tears in her eyes. She stood in the center of the group, the smallest of them all.“Oh, Maya, it’s good to have you back.”Holly wrapped her arms a
“Have you heard from Maya or her parents?” Marshall asked.“Maya? The runt?”“Please don’t call her that,” Zion said.He thought about that summer three years ago. Taking her hand and leading her toward the lake had been one of the stupidest things he’d ever done. Everyone in the pack had warned him that Maya was delicate, but he’d not listened. They’d stood on this very rock and jumped into the water below.He’d released her hand as they hit the water. When he broke the surface, everyone was cheering, but Maya was nowhere to be seen. He recalled the panic he’d felt as he dove into the water when Maya didn’t emerge.The pack had started to herd the people who were not part of the pack away from the scene. After his third dive down, he’d found her tangled in some weeds. Pulling her out, her parents had been waiting.“You can’t blame yourself for what happened,” Marshall said. “No one talks about it. Not even her parents.”They’d done emergency CPR and called the doctor. That time she h
Maya and Zion story has come to a close...But the world of alpha shifters is far from over!Ready for another intense, sexy ride?Keep reading for the opening chapter of the next standalone novel in the THE ALPHA VIRGIN TOY 6A ruthless alpha. A woman used as bait. A bond neither of them saw coming…°°°°°°°°°°Maya watched the group of her peers playing together by the lake. It was hot, and they were all taking advantage of the weather. Several of the girls were in bikinis soaking up the sun while the guys were in swim trunks. Some members of the group messing around were humans, and the others were wolves. Most of the time the humans steered clear of this part of town, but Maya saw most of them were from the high school.Resting her head on her raised knee, she wrapped her arms around herself. It didn’t matter if it was warm or cold; she was always fighting off the chill.Being the runt in her family’s litter, Maya was used to being a little defective compared to the wolf
“You’re being a complete and utter bastard,” Maya said, fuming at his happiness.Her pussy was melting as well. She was so ashamed to be turned on over a punishment. One moment she wasn’t getting any kind of attention, and now she got nothing but attention. It was driving her insane.“I’ve been cal
Zion lefi the shirt, but he didn’t leave without looking at her lush body first. He found her naked in the shower with eyes closed looking up at the shower jet. Her body was so full and round, she made him ache with the need to possess her. She’d take the fucking he so wanted to give her.He lefi t
Waking up, Maya groaned against the reality of her situation. The sudden smell of Zion had her jerking awake, rubbing at her eyes. Glancing around the room, she expected to find him lurking, ready to pounce at any time. Going to her knees, she looked lefi and right then down at her body.The smell
Maya waited for him to say more. She didn’t know why she asked him about being a wolf. Of course he was a wolf. The smell along with the depth of his voice told her he was an alpha. She didn’t know why there was no pack, and there certainly were no signs of a pack. Dean hadn’t been part of the pack
