I throw another punch at the warrior in front of me. He absorbs the hit, but it’s not even slightly graceful. I motion for him to come at me again, but he looks up from the ground with pain in his eyes. I guess I broke him.

    ~Brackston~I throw another punch at the warrior in front of me. He absorbs the hit, but it’s not even slightly graceful. I motion for him to come at me again, but he looks up from the ground with pain in his eyes. I guess I broke him.I move my head to the side, signaling that he needs to remove himself. This is how it’s been. I’ve been feeling anxious and angry. I’ve come to the training grounds to try to expel this energy, and there’s no one who can keep up with me.I feel unfulfilled, and it bothers me to no end. I know what I want, but I can’t have it right now. If I want my big plan realized, I need to see this through piece by piece. I’ve never been known as a patient man, and that hasn’t changed.I sigh and walk over to my water bottle. I pour water over my head before taking a big drink from the bottle. A throat clears behind me, and irritation immediately sets in. “Uh, sir?”“What?”“You have a phone call.” I turn and snatch my phone out of Teddy’s hand and step to the side.

    ~Dominic~If you had told me that I’d be in my office with my mate in front of me, I’d say you were dreaming, but it sounds like a good one. She’s everything I could have ever wanted in a mate, and she’s standing in front of me. I couldn’t be luckier if I tried.Okay, so it’s a bit awkward. I don’t think she meant to come in here, but I’m not mad that she did. I’ll consider myself a winner if I can find a way to keep her here. Just talk to her.Not now, Gideon. I don’t have the energy to deal with you, too. He huffs, but stays present. His mate is here, and I’m sure I couldn’t force him away if I tried.“What brings you here?” My voice is rougher than I wanted it to be, but I can’t change that now.“Nothing.” I raise an eyebrow, which smooths out the moment I notice her flustered state. She definitely didn’t intend to say what she did. Interesting.“Meaning?” Jamorea ducks her head, staring at her hands that are sitting in her lap.“I… nothing.” I shift in the chair, leaning forward.

    ~Jamorea~I wanted to get some fresh air. I could still feel the pull to Dominic, and his scent was thick in the apartment. I couldn’t breathe properly, and I could barely breathe. I figured that a walk outside would be helpful, and it would keep Brackston off my back.I didn’t intend to run into anyone, and I wasn’t planning to talk to anyone. Most people who see me usually just nod at me, but give me a wide berth. I never thought that I’d walk outside and encounter what was just in front of me. If I had imagined it, I would have probably stayed inside.My chest is tight, and my breath is barely coming out. My hands are clenched at my sides, and I don’t like this feeling. You’re jealous.I’m not, Mona. I don’t care.Why are you lying?I’m standing behind a tree, and I want to rip it out of the ground. I watched the entire thing, and I hate that I feel how I feel. I w

    ~Dominic~I hit the bag again, watching it swing back and forth. I’m just slightly frustrated right now. Nothing too concerning, just trying to calm it down. You’re sexually frustrated. Let’s not downplay it. Oh, and I suppose that you have more control right now than I, Gideon?I didn’t say that… If my wolf is calling me sexually frustrated, I can guarantee he’s that much worse off than I am.We were so close… she was right there. I’m not saying that anything would have happened for sure, but I was in a good position to be physically closer to my mate. It goes up in smoke, just like that, because Aston chooses that moment to beam or appear into my place. It’s a good power, but it sure is a pain in the ass.I continue to hit the bag, letting punch after punch rain down. “Should I call someone to take the punching bag in? Clearly, its offense is significant.” I don’t stop punching the bag, but my mouth twitches at Aston’s words.The bag stops swaying when I land my punches, and I noti

    ~Dominic~That issue took much too long. The timing was all wrong because I finally had some private time with my fated mate, and the best part is that the truth was out. I didn’t have to watch myself around her or try to keep things quiet.I can fully be with my fated mate without any restrictions. I already told her about myself, about my past, and she’s still here. I don’t think she will be going anywhere, and that means great things for me.I step onto my floor and slowly make my way to the door. I will admit that I’m kind of nervous right now. It’s weird because I’ve always been someone with all the confidence in the world. Now that I’m going to face my fated mate, I am at a loss.I’m not assuming that anything will happen between us. To be honest, I’m pretty sure that neither one of us is ready to do anything major, bond or not. I just don’t really know how I should conduct myself around her right now.I open the door and walk into my apartment. I quietly close the door behind m

    ~Aston~The air bends around us, and we arrive to gasps and screams. “Uh, Dreamboat, I really think we should have called first.” I smile and tighten my arms around my queen. I kiss the top of her head, but don’t move from where I’m standing. “Maybe, but this may be safer for a while. We know of one traitor, but how do we know there isn’t another one? We have to be careful so we can keep our little lady safe.” In light of everything we have found out, we have to change how we go about our everyday lives. We need reinforcements, and there’s no point in waiting to reach out. The timeline Jamorea gave us happens to coincide with our wedding plans. I doubt that’s an accident. The thing is, we send out invitations all over, as one does. I have no idea how to trace them to find out who this elusive ‘Brackston’ is, the one causing so much trouble. Footsteps hurry toward us, but I don’t move an inch. I’m not really worried that anything bad will happen. I know that seems arrogant of me, bu

    ~Dominic~There it is. It wasn’t the question I was hoping to avoid, but everything that comes with it. This is the part where I can tell a massive lie and make myself feel better and look good in the immediate, or I can tell the truth and risk losing her forever. I don’t know why, but I thought th

    ~Dominic~As much as I want her to tell me what’s going on, I really can’t blame her for not doing so. I personally think she’s exaggerating, but what would I know? I plan to watch her for a while, but I don’t think I will need to do that for too long. Watching Danny try to walk away from me has b

    ~Dominic~She’s awake, my fated mate is awake. She’s awake, and she’s right down the hall. She’s in the hospital room down the hall and…. And she’s awake, yeah, we got that. I close my eyes, slowing my movements. I’ve been in the waiting room for a while now. I’ve been pacing and agonizing. I have

    ~Katarina~“Mmm.” I turn my head toward the warmth next to me. I snuggle my head, but it isn't on anything soft. It's on a hard surface, but it smells so good. I blink my eyes open and am looking at a red polo shirt. I let my eyes travel up and am met by the soft brown eyes of King.“Hey, baby. How
