Mag-log inNova’s POV ContinuedI walk back into the bedroom, put my slippers beside the bed, pull on my socks, and decide that I'm taking the left side.He can have the side closest to the door.I grab two bottles of water from the kitchenette, put one on his nightstand and one on mine, then climb into bed and grab the remote.Time to distract myself.I open Shifter Vision and find the series Out of Place, Out of Time.I'm obsessed with this damn show.It's about a werewolf professor from modern times who somehow gets conjured back to the early 1800s and ends up trapped in this little human town where nobody knows werewolves exist.Then he finds his mate.In the past.Which makes no damn sense because he'd never found her in the present.So obviously there's a reason he was sent back.I'm on episode four and determined to figure this shit out.I settle against the headboard and hit play.A few minutes later, the shower turns off.I take a breath.My wolf starts purring again."Behave."Then Eli
Nova’s POVAs we leave my sister and Draven’s suite, Elias and I walk directly across the hall to ours.Ours.That is still going to take some getting used to.The second I step inside, though, I immediately notice one major difference between the twins.This place is clean.Like…really clean.Everything is neat. Everything smells good, and most importantly, there are no damn pizza boxes sitting around like they're part of the décor.I smile.“Thank you, Moon Goddess. I got the clean twin.”Elias looks at me.“What?”“Nothing.”Because I'm not exactly the neatest person myself.I'm clean, don't get me wrong. I'm not nasty. But I can definitely be messy.I might leave clothes on a chair or maybe a towel on the floor.I'm probably more like Draven in that department, while Sloane is more like Elias.Although Draven's mess was ridiculous because there is messy, and then there is you need an intervention.But I digress.I chew on my bottom lip as I look around.“So what time is training t
Sloane’s POVOkay.So my mate's room is a mess.Just like my life.A complete damn mess.I sigh as I stand in the middle of Draven's massive walk-in closet, trying to process the fact that this is apparently our closet now.Our closet, bedroom, suite, and our life?Good Goddess.A knock sounds from somewhere outside the bedroom.“I got it,” Draven calls before disappearing.I already know exactly who's at that door.The omegas.There is no doubt in my mind that Luna Elara mind-linked them the second she saw that disaster Draven calls a gaming area.I shake my head and continue looking through the closet.The omegas have already put away nearly everything from my suitcases. My clothes are hanging neatly on one side, while Draven's things occupy the other. Shoes are lined along the shelves. My bags are organized. Even my smaller things have been placed carefully into drawers.I pull one open, underwear.Another, has my bras.Another has my pajamas and sleepwear.“Damn.”This is actually
Draven’s POV“Okay, so, Sloane…this part of the room…”I look around my living room/ gaming area and suddenly realize that maybe I should've had the omegas clean before bringing my mate home.Too late now.“I don't know if you want to change it or what.”Sloane slowly looks around.And scowls.Deeply.“Yeah. We're changing this.”I chuckle. “Damn. No hesitation?”“None.”She walks farther into the room, looking at everything like she's conducting an inspection.“What exactly do you want to change?”“Well, first of all, clean it.”I look around.“It's not that bad.”She turns and gives me a look.Okay.Maybe it is.“Second,” she continues, “all these little contraptions need to be organized.”“Contraptions?”“Yes. Contraptions.”“They're gaming systems.”“I don't care what they're called. Why do you have cords everywhere?”“Because they need electricity?”Her eyes narrow.I grin.She points toward the entertainment center. “That can be organized. The games can go on shelves. Controller
Elias’s POVOkay, Moon Goddess.You gave me another chance.A real chance.And I need to make sure this one counts.I help Nova into the golf cart before climbing behind the wheel. If I'm going to show my mate her new home, I'm going to do it right.Blackwood territory is beautiful.I've always known that, but driving around with Nova beside me makes me see it differently. Like I'm looking at everything through her eyes for the first time.Our territory sits in the northern part of the central United States, not far from the Canadian border. Thick forests cover most of the land, with lush grass, rolling terrain, and open wilderness stretching farther from the pack center.And winter?Winter is no freaking joke.The snow gets deep as hell.As I drive, I point out the different areas.“That's one of our elementary schools.”Nova looks over. “One of them?”“Yeah. We have over three thousand wolves, including pups. We need more than one school.”“Damn.”I laugh.I show her the parks, down
Nova’s POVAs I look out at the Blackwood Pack members, I see a mixture of reactions.There are some cheers and smiles.A lot of the pups look genuinely excited, which is actually kind of cute, and then there are those women.Yeah.Some of these she-wolves look like they're trying to decide whether they want to beat us into oblivion or shift and have their wolves bite our faces off.I take a deep breath and glance at my mate.Elias is smiling.He's excited. I can feel that through the bond already, but I also notice him scanning the crowd. His eyes keep bouncing between the she-wolves and me.He's nervous.As he should be.Because I don't know what the hell to say about some of these expressions.One thing is already obvious: settling into Blackwood isn't going to be easy.I'm going to have to talk to my sister because I have no clue what we're walking into here.But for now?I'm going to trust my mate.My wolf growls inside my head."Well, I trust my mate. I don't know about you trus
The War of a Hundred YearsThree hundred years ago…before the realm fractured…before the Moon fell silent…There was a war of wars.Not the kind whispered about in pack halls.Not the kind fought over land, power, or pride.This war was of internal rot.It started quietly, like something festerin
Elias’s POV I sigh as I step out of the kitchen area, finally done meeting with the head Omega, her staff, and the Gammas.Yeah, I did all of that, and that should be my Luna’s job, but I don’t have one.So it falls on me. Like everything else. My mom is still Luna… technically, but she’s semi-r
Draven’s POV Two Years Later....“Son, you are one of the most powerful Alphas in this country. You need to get your shit together.”I roll my eyes, leaning back in the chair like I don’t have a care in the world.Because honestly?I don’t.My dad keeps talking, going on and on, and his words are
Draven’s POV “…I’m sorry, what the fuck did you just say?”I know I heard her wrong.I know I did.But there’s no way in hell she actually just said that shit.Raven smirks.Not nervous and there was no hesitation at all.A whole damn smug ass smirk.“You heard me,” she says smoothly. “I’m reject
