Chapter 151
Jaz
A 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

LoBefore I knew what was happening I had been pulled into his chest. My head fitting just beneath his chin, and I can smell his woody scent. Wood, and pine, and…And so unlike Ethan’s, that had been full of cinnamon and citrus. Or like campfire smoke.I tried to stifle the sob I had been holding in until I was out of earshot, but I couldn’t. I let it out, my chest heaving while embracing him. His arms didn’t move, but held steady and warm around me as my body wracked with pent up emotion.I was dimly aware of how warm his skin was, how hot it was. He had been working out. I had tried to shake my own hangover and had only come out in a pink sports bra. I stepped back out of his embr

Perrin My run hadn’t been successful. I was still agitated, still annoyed. Still frustrated that I didn’t know where Ethan and I stood. What his decision would be about the Sacred Call. About all of it. I got back to my room, having left Lo in the kitchen with Dina. PERRIN: Are we still on for later? ETHAN: Yea. How about 8pm? PERRIN: Meet you there? ETHAN: Yea. I threw my phone on the bed, stripped off my shorts and started the shower. I was mentally tired by physically wound up. I needed time to think, without the distraction of Lo and her own issues. But I stopped for a moment, le
