LOGINThen I lose my thoughts for a while.Another night, I sit naked on a wooden stool in Wes’s studio as he puts the finishing touches on a nude painting of me. I swear I’ve been blushing the entire time he’s been painting it, which only makes him smile. I’ve seen him adding extra pink to his brush.Now
Sylvia’s POVI stand in the break room, watching with annoyance as the Luna ceremony plays on the small television in the far corner. Even two packs over, Ollie’s story seems to have made a big impression, and she’s become something of a beloved figure that transcends packs.The whole thing makes me
Even Declan is smiling.“You are staying with us,” Wes says, sounding breathless.“Yes,” I say, then feel a bit shy. “Is that okay?”“Is that…?” Conrad repeats, scoffing. He crosses the distance first, and closes his arms around me. He waits for nothing before leaning down and kissing me. “Your plac
Ollie’s POVLooking at my mates, my heart warms and my wolf, inside of me, rumbles happily. When I return my gaze to my brother Erik, while I am still happy to see him and know him, it just isn’t the same.He might be my family, and his palace in the north might have been a place I might have once c

Ollie’s POV“Sit, Ollie. I won’t repeat myself.”I don’t know what he has in mind but he seems mad enough to try to punish any disobedience. For my own sanity and for my stomach’s sake, I move toward him and then sit on the stool beside his where he’s gesturing.As soon as I sit, he grabs the base o
I swallow thickly.If he had actually licked my skin I probably would have caught fire.Focus, I command myself. What am I thinking? Conrad has been cruel to me. I can’t start feeling soft for him, not for any reason.Hugh, I allow myself to have sex with, but even that is probably too far. I don’t
Hugh’s POVThis entire night, and now early morning, has been a total bust.I spent hours at the club trying to find the perfect partner for a long night of blissful activities, but every woman I considered, I saw something about her I just didn’t like.The blond in the tight blue dress? Too thin, a
Ollie’s POVI’m not jealous. No. Not at all. Not even a little bit.If Hugh wants to go out and sleep his way through every available woman in town, it’s none of my business and I couldn’t care less.The fact that I can’t sleep that night is entirely related.
