“Ethan?” The Luna knocked over the empty coffee cup nearest her hand. “Is he alright?”
“Yes, he’s… he’s fine.” I said, catching my breath and pinning my hand to the stitch in my side.
The Luna visibly relaxed in front of me, sinking deep into her plush office chair. “Then what, pray to the Goddess, has you so out of breath and here on a Sunday?” Her tone was formal and light, but taking one glane around the room made me realize how odd this was. I had bee-lined for her, out of breath and disheveled on a day I was supposed to be home studying.
“If you’re trying to impress me with more lab time, Jasmine, it would be better for you to dedicate time to self-preservation and rest. Neither a healer or researcher is w

JazI needed to talk to Justin. But I knew he had been livid. And after how the afternoon had gone… I didn’t dare show up at the hotel suite unannounced.I realized that I didn’t even have his phone number.I screwed my eyes tight in the darkness, forging a mind link.Are you there?Silence.I didn’t expect it to work. Or for him to answer.I kept walking, wondering if Ethan had the balls to talk to Kira yet.Or maybe she was still drunk at the hotel?I changed my direction and started walking.

KiraI took another swig from the bottle. It was surprisingly good champagne. I didn’t recognize the label, which would explain why.Numb was a good feeling. So was being buzzed. After if everything that had happened today was true? If… if Justin and Ethan really were mated Then… well… I took another long pull from the bottle.I stumbled along the path around the south side of the pack house. Where it had all begun. Where I wish it hadn’t. I stared hazily to the garden, to the fountain where I had sat so naively before. My head swam as I contemplated how vulnerable I had been with a man I didn’t know. I was so naive. So stupid.Tears threatened to fall as sipped from the bottle one more, hiccuping as the bubbles burned my throat. As water burned my

KiraI pulled my hair back from my face and wiped the vomit from my mouth. I exited the bathroom to a round of applause.“Boot and Rally! Boot and Rally!” someone called.Toby sauntered up to me and gave me another beer. “Cheers!” He said, clinking it with his own.“Cheers,” I slurred back. The room wasn’t as dizzy as it was before. It wasn’t spinning either. Good. I must have thrown up enough to keep this shitstorm going.I grabbed Toby’s hand with mine and pulled him toward the beer pong table. A few wolves I didn’t know--presumably from a challenging pack, had clicked with Toby and a few of our mutual friends the other night. Last night? I couldn’t remember. But they managed to b

DeidreI breathed in, calming the drumming of my heart, its relentless beating against my chest. This was the closest I had been to my daughter in years.I gazed down at her, soaking in the sight of her petite body, her beautiful silver waves spread on the infirmary pillow beneath her. Her tiny form was tucked under the blanket. I had prayed so hard to that the Goddess back at the infirmary that she didn’t have serious injuries or head trauma that I didn’t give myself a moment to consider who my patient really was. But now?Now, I wanted nothing more than to see her open her eyes, an echo of her father in their depths.I had craved the rare cases in which we were in the same room; when Perrin had brought the twins into the Alpha Suite. When we had sat together for form

Deidre“I said,” Mistra seethed, “What the FUCK are you doing here?”“Mom, why are you screaming?” Kira’s voice was muffled from where she hid--both from the sun and her mother.“Do you make a habit of this, young lady?” Mistra yelled. “Bringing home strangers with you?” She pointed at me, but I could tell by Kira’s sudden stillness under the blanket that she was confused. I took the opportunity to rise to my feet, straightening my jacket and hair as I rose.“What are you talking about?” she asked, pulling the blanket from over her head. Then she saw me, bloodshot eyes popping open wide. “Luna!” She attempted to wrestle free of the blankets, and for what reason I’m not sure. A haze of whiskey

LunaI felt like literal death.As I turned on the shower, steam quickly heating my small bathroom, I tried not to think about the screaming match that had just occurred between my mother and the Luna. What was that all about, anyway?Was I really in that bad of shape last night that the Luna thought she had to stay by my bedside? Why hadn’t she just kept me in the infirmary? Or had I ever even made it to the infirmary?Thinking made my heart hurt. I showered slowly, relishing the feel of the heat. But it also made me slightly dizzy. I wasn’t sure if it was the hangover, the giant bruise on my head, or the fact that I didn’t stand a chance of finding the Luna if I didn’t eat or drink something sometime soon.I stepped out o
The Unchosen Mate Chapter 168
KiraThe fresh air didn’t feel fresh enough. I gulped it in, leaving the pack house lobby and out to the front steps. I held my chest as if that would help.Goddess, this was still all so humiliating. I wanted to tell Lo. To keep the story straight. She didn’t deserve to take it out on my brother. Not like I did. And despite what I had told myself yesterday, Justin’s and Ethan’s mating still felt like some cruel joke. Some horrible type of betrayal.And what made it all even worse, if that was possible, is that Ethan didn’t even ask for this. He never had even pondered what it was like to have a serious girlfriend. Boyfriend, I corrected myself. Or beyond that, a mate. And he’s the one that ends up with one?I wiped the puke from my mouth, stepping towards

Perrin“On the floor?” I repeated, incredulous. The thought of Deidire sleeping on anyone’s floor, let alone Kira’s, was almost laughable. But the look on Ethan’s face was equally confused.“I’ve never seen my mom go at her like that,” he said, as if reliving the memory. “I’m surprised you couldn’t hear her.”I shrugged. “I decided to get in a run this morning, so I probably left before it all went down.”“It doesn’t really make sense though, does it?” He asked. His face cocked to the side when he was lost in thought, just like his sister’s.“Honestly? No,” I said, racking a set of weights and spotting Ethan as he took his turn.
