Chapter 24
Rory
The construction site was quiet as I pulled up beside Selene’s car. I glanced at the clock on my dashboard, wondering for a moment if I was late, but it displayed ‘7:59’. I was on time. Selene had a penchant for being early to everything.
“That girl is going to be early to her own funeral.” I chuckled to myself as I slung my medical bag over my shoulder, grabbing my battery-operated lantern and the portable defibrillator.
I quickly made my way to the door of the building. The scent of burning hair and sea

Selene It hurt to breathe. Every part of me was filled with a blinding pain. Raina was quiet, I wasn’t sure if I had lost her or if she was focused on healing us. I heard light movements beside me just before there was a light stinging sensation in my arm. I felt my body relax as pain medication began to ease my pain. I forced my eyes open against the drug induced heaviness of my eyelids. “Good, you’re awake!” Rory cheered. I le

Rory“You’re healing nicely. At a human rate, but the wound is still closing as well as I would expect.” I told Selene, placing a new bandage over the stitches in her abdomen. “Has your wolf spoken to you yet? I know it’s only been a couple weeks.” “No. Raina is quiet still. If it weren’t for you assuring me she’s working hard on my insides, I would think I lost her.” Selene frowned. “We need to discuss the haze. I’m not sure how it’s going to impact you with your wolf being silent, but I don’t think we can risk it with you in the co

Selene Rory and I spent the morning bickering. She was convinced she had been visited by the moon goddess. I was convinced her subconscious had pieced all the information we had together, and she had imaged the visit. The goddess was a legend our kind sold ourselves to explain away what science couldn’t understand. If she were real, she never would have given me a mate to begin with. Around lunch time, Stephanie came upstairs from her clinic with a prepaid phone in hand. She had agreed to grab one for Rory so we could contact my father. The only thing we had

EJ “Hello cousin!” Ava smiled, linking her arm through mine. “Are you here to see my father?” “He sent me a summons.” I replied flatly. “Daddy is in quite the mood today.” She whispered conspiratorially. “Something about the men not following orders.”&nbs

Selene The words had barely left Landon’s lips when we heard Stephanie’s voice floating toward the doorway. “Miss! You can’t go up there. That is my personal residence!” She called out as footsteps began to sound on the steps. “It’s off limits to patients!”&nb

Lucas My hands shook as I stared at the door in disbelief. Even through the hard wood, I could smell the familiar scent of apples and cinnamon. If it hadn’t been for the shattering sound of dishware breaking in the kitchen, I would have been certain my imagination was playing tricks on me. Maggie had heard me call out; my voice having mingled with Hades’ own when we uttered the word mate. My heart pounded in my chest, the sound covering the movement behind me. “You should open the door.” Maggie whispered, startling me. “There has never been a recorded incident of second chance ma

SeleneNeed burned between us like a low flame. I slipped my hand from Lucas’s hair down to his jeans and expertly undid the button. His own hands worked to steady me as he slid my pants down. My injuries made it difficult to keep my balance as I stepped from them, but Lucas held my hips firmly, keeping me pinned against the wall as I did. His hard cock sprang forth as he slid his own jeans below his hips before lifting me to wrap my legs around his waist. There was no foreplay, only the heat that consumed us, as he thrust deeply into my slick sex. I bit my lip, struggling to contain my moans as he pounded into me, primal need consuming us both.&nb

LucasI watched Selene and Rory as they left the house. My life had become immensely more complicated in just a few hours. Maggie had remained mostly silent, only really speaking to correct Annabelle when she made a rude comment about Selene. “Lucas.” Maggie started, her voice soft and low. “I think it’s time for the children and I to accept your offer of our own home. I can’t begin to repay your hospitality and friendship, but with your mate here now. Well, it wouldn’t be proper for us to continue to stay.” “Maggie, you really don’t have to leave. I love having
