Perrin
Ethan seemed anxious.
He had just sat down but was now pacing back and forth across my room. I watched as he ran his fingers through his hair, pausing momentarily as he brushed across the patch of stubble growing in over a thin scar on his scalp.
How did Ethan know my dad and I had met with the Alpha of the Chiyad pack about him? I was still wrapping my head around what the Alpha had said--and what my dad hadn’t. Something wasn’t adding up. But it was as though he was looking to accuse my father of something, and I didn’t know what that was either. I needed time to think about it, but as I watched the agitated Beta in front of me, I knew this wasn’t the moment.
“What’s going on?” I asked. Ethan wasn’t one to get nervous. While he of

Perrin “Does anyone else know?” I watched as Ethan turned pale, the apple in his throat taking a deep bob before he spoke. “His father.” “Justin’s father?” I asked incredulously. “As in, Alpha Nael?” Ethan slumped into the armchair by the window, his face in his hands. He spoke through his fingers. “He made an appearance at the infirmary last night to check on Justin. He walked in on us.” “Oh. OH!” I exclaimed. “I thought we weren’t kissing and telling?” “No, no, not like that!” He said, exasperated. “He walked in like, right after it happened.”

JazA soft knock sounded at the door.“Go away.”Silence. But no steps retreating down the hallway.The knock sounded again.“I mean it. Go away.”“Jaz?”Ethan’s voice was muffled but it was most definitely him.I rose from the couch where I had been stewing with my tea since my father had left earlier this morning. I opened the door.“What are you doing here?”“Can we talk?” His voice was honest. Disarming. It threw me off.

EthanI knew I was tired when I got back on my motorcycle. If I was ever this whipped I rarely rode. I hated feeling like I couldn’t keep my balance--even if it was just a few short miles back to the pack house.I wanted to sleep. I ached to see Justin. But I needed to talk to Kira.I sent him a text.ETHAN: I talked to Perrin and told him. It went better than expected. I also stopped by to talk to Jaz. I had a feeling she knew what was up last night so I went to ask her not to say anything until I’ve spoken to Kira. Going to see her now. See you later?I sent the text before I could self-sabotage and second-guess the sign off. I didn’t need to play games, I reminded myself. This was it. Justin was the end-game.

Ethan“Kira? Did you hear me?”She burst out laughing, a hysterical sound, slightly unhinged. Doubling over, she slapped her hand on the coffee table, the echoing sound of wood reverberating around the living room.“Oh my Goddess, Ethan!” she howled. “How much is he paying you?”“What?” I asked bewildered.“Perrin? How much did he pay you?” She was hugging her sides now, fits of laughter bursting forth. “It’s gotta be at least fifty bucks. That was good.”“Kira, I’m not kidding.” I held my voice steady, but the nerves that had wracked me the last two times I had told someone about Justin today took root and

JustinI had made it back to the hotel, thankful for the elevator and my sore foot. It was fine, and I was cleared to return to the Lodge tomorrow, but my mind had been filled with nothing but Ethan since he left early this morning.Ethan, and the texts he had sent.Why had he gone to talk to Jesamine? Er, Jaz, I think that’s what she called herself here. Was I overthinking it? Maybe she had overheard and he was just covering his bases.Or maybe their friendship was stronger than our mating bond.Either way, I knew that I needed to talk to Kira, sooner rather than later. If Ethan really had spoken to her, and if she took it the way I expected, I would have a lot of explaining to do.As if the God

Justin“Neither can I,” said a voice from the doorway.My back was turned from the hallway, but I knew who it was. I felt my sister curl in upon herself, then her arms turned to steel an instant later, bracing for whatever he said next.“I’m so glad we’ve finally been able to have this little family reunion!” My father slid into the kitchen, eyeing the two of us. “It’s about time, don’t you think? Overdue really, after twelve years.”“I’m leaving,” Jesamine muttered to me, making for the counter to grab her bag. My father’s quick reflexes snatched it from the counter before she could reach it, and she froze in place.“Jesamine, please. Won’t you take a

Justin “Well done! Well done.” The blood was still pounding in my ears as I listened to Jesamine’s footsteps echo down the hallway and the slam of the door behind her. “Don’t talk to me,” I barked. I didn’t care what my father said next. This was as much his fault as it was Jesamine’s. I grabbed my jacket and walked to the door, slamming it with thunderous finality. ** The elevator took too long. Everything wasn’t moving fast enough. I needed to get out of this metal box and find Ethan. It was the only thing that made sense. He was the only thing that made sense ri

PerrinEthan was mated.Ethan was mated.Ethan was mated to Justin.I sat down on my bed as the door closed behind him, my hand coming to my forehead. What was going on?I needed to get out of this room, get fresh air to think. I looked out the window, the thoughts of the previous night with Jaz skimming through my mind. It had felt different with her somehow, last night. And I wasn’t sure what that meant.It was a Sunday. Technically
