Yorick is working hard.
Yorick“Happy Birthday!”The crowd of family, pack members, and neighboring Alphas all wish me a happy birthday.“You’ve got this,” Wendy, my sister, says in my ear before stepping away from me. I just told her my plans for the next year. I intend to announce it to my father and brother, Connor, the current Alpha, tonight.“Yorick!” my youngest sister, Yvonne, part of the second set of twins that my parents had, says, running over. She’s thirteen but she launches herself into my arms, confident that I’ll catch her. As the youngest, she’s right. None of us have ever dropped her.“Unh!” I grunt. “You’re getting a bit too old for that, Vonny,” I tell her.“Quirin never complains,” she says, referencing my older sister’s mate. Now that he and Kennedy have found their way together, he’s quickly becoming the ‘favorite’ brother for my youngest brother and sister.“Quirin has a pack of pups that are constantly crawling all over him, so what’s one more,” I say as I put her back on her feet.“Y
Cyra“What do you mean you’ve been accepted to the Warrior Academy?” my father, Alpha Arden, demands.Behind him, leaning against the wall, his face set in an unemotional mask, is my intended mate, Alpha Stellan. I found out a year ago that my father created what is called an Alliance Bond with Alpha Stellan’s father. In order to solidify the alliance between our two packs, they wrote up an agreement dictating that I would be mated to Alpha Stellan and become his Luna.Because our packs have been in an alliance, I’ve known Alpha Stellan for years. It’s not that he’s not a nice man or a good man, I’m sure he is. But when I turned eighteen last week, I realized that he also isn’t my fated mate. That would have made things simpler. But I wasn’t surprised. Stellan is nice enough, I’ve just never been enamored with him the way other women are. I don’t care that he’s an Alpha, probably because I’m one too. What I do care about is that my choice to find my fated mate has been taken away from
YorickI’d smelled her exotic scent. Or more accurately, Thad had smelled her and nearly threw me to the floor trying to get out of our room to find her. She has a rich, earthy scent with hints of leather and smoke that should smell masculine, but on her, it smells exotic, almost like amber or musk.When I finally see her, she looks just as exotic as she smells. She has long auburn-colored hair and blue-grey eyes. And under her enticing, exotic scent, is the scent of Alpha. She’s perfect.Thad hadn’t given me a moment to even say hi before he had her pressed against the wall, kissing her and demanding that she give him what he wanted. Her.I’ll admit, I got lost in the kiss. Her scent, her taste, the feel of her arms sliding around my body all made it impossible for me to pull away. Until she pushed me away.I stepped back, panting as people moved around us, giving us looks like we're acting crazy on the first day, and it doesn’t bode well for us.“I’m sorry. I lost control of Thad. I
CyraYorick kisses me the way I’ve always wanted to be kissed, like he’s a drowning man and I’m the air that he needs to breathe to survive. Even his gentle kiss is dominant, demanding that I give in to him. And how can I not? He’s perfect. He’s so incredibly perfect for me.“You know this is a terrible idea, right?” I ask when he pulls back, leaning his forehead against mine again.“Not nearly as terrible as you rejecting me and leaving me. I’ll think of something, Cyra. The Moon Goddess gifted you to me and I intend to accept that gift,” he says.I chuckle and pull back.“So, where’s your room?” I ask him.“Right next door to yours,” he says, waggling his eyebrows at me and making me laugh.I wipe away my tears and finally look around my room. “This isn’t terrible,” I say.“Believe me when I tell you that it just got a whole lot better,” he says. When I look at him, his heated gaze is on me. The intensity of it makes my heart stutter.“Look here, Alpha. I’m here to learn and to beco
YorickI am so in love. And I’m SO thankful that she wasn’t trying to reject me because of me or because she doesn’t believe in the mate bond. The alliance bond is a problem, but I can work with that. I have a year. Worst case scenario, I’ll call everyone I know to rain hellfire on her brother’s pack, but I’d rather try to figure things out in a way that will keep our packs happily allied because we are mates. Fated mates, meant to be together. Forever.“So, what should we do first? Look over the campus, get books, or get food?” I ask her, not releasing her hand even when she tries to tug it away.Instead, I pull her hand to my mouth and kiss the top of it, holding her gaze. “Please hold my hand.”“People will think we’re together,” she hisses.I give her a look that hopefully says, ‘Well yeah, duh!’She huffs and rolls her eyes but doesn’t pull her hand away. I’ll take the win.“So, what’s first?”“Mmm, maybe we should go buy our books before the bookstore closes?” she says.“Okay,”
