Chapter 37
Leila
I laid the shopping bags out all over the room. Heading into the bathroom, I threw on some music and started to do my makeup.
Light eyeshadow, dark liner, and natural blush. Perfect.
I got out my flat iron and started shaping my hair. If it’s one thing I thanked my mother for, it was this manageable mane. My best friend in Texas, Gia, had something wild and untamable in the best of times.
I was almost done when I heard a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
To my surprise, my father entered the room, his face ablaze with anger.
“What…. exactly…” his voice was threateningly calm, “did you do this afternoon?&rd

KiraMy phone buzzed as soon as we had shut the doors on Beta Mark’s Audi.ALPHA JASON: My office. NOW!Fuck.Dashing up the stairs, I waive goodbye to Lo over my shoulder, vaguely making plans as I ran.Shit. Alpha Jason only texts me when he’s seriously mad.A few more flights of stairs and I throw the shopping bags wildly into my room. Running back down the hallway, I dash down another corridor to his office.I tap my knuckles on the large mahogany door.“Come in.” His deep voice rumbles through the thick wood.I push the d

KiraBeing chewed out by the Alpha was a total buzzkill after a great afternoon connecting with Leila. It was great to see her again.Heading to our family’s suite, I stopped to see if my mother was in. There was a note on the hall table.Gone to see Ethan. Not sure when I’ll be back.Well, progress was progress. At least she was going to see him now. She was fine when I had seen her this morning while we cleaned but recognizing the parallels between my dad and Ethan was a different story.I grab the shopping bags I had flung in disarray and bring them to my bedroom.Without even realizing it, I had started changing into my running gear.Grabbing

KiraInstead of heading back to the pack house for food, I think my sore muscles needed some hot tub therapy.I had run nearly eight miles at this point. I was always fast. Faster than Ethan, at some times. Speed and cardio were always the easiest parts of my training. The hard part was the strength. Admittedly, being physically smaller than Ethan and Perrin by a wide margin didn’t make me the best training partner. But I have kept up on my own time. Patrol requires training, too.Deciding to reward myself for a good run, I stop by the training facility on the way home to take advantage of the sauna.It was dark at this point, but like most places in this territory, I knew it like the back of my hand.A few of the higher pack families

KiraI froze, still foggy in the wake of my orgasm. But my thoughts were immediately sharpened by the earthy scent of firewood.“Don’t move. You look beautiful.”I knew it was him, but the steam of the sauna was so thick I couldn’t see him. His deep voice vibrated from the walls of the room.Ignoring his words, I sat up and circled the towel around me.“Why cover up such beauty?” His voice was louder now, closer.I saw the dark outlines of another figure emerge from a curtain of steam. Rubbing the sweat from my eyes, I tried to focus.“Who are you?”Like last night

KiraStaring directly into his eyes, I straddled his lap. I could feel the soft cushion of the white towel on his lap beneath me, and a few seconds later a pressure pushing back towards me from underneath.I couldn’t explain why, but I knew that I was drawn to this man beyond even my own understanding. To be near him made breathing easier despite the butterflies, despite the deep pulsing at my core that I knew was an insatiable, carnal attraction to him.I slid my arms around his neck, settling myself firmly on his legs, wrapping my own around his waist. I tried not to touch him at first, other than that. The proximity of our bodies and the smell of him made me slightly dizzy, but in an intoxicating way. I needed to steady myself. The orientation of what my body needed was clear, but I needed to take my time.

PerrinThe rest of the evening with Jaz was wonderful. Our waiter had let us know that members of the local press team were dealing with something at the front of the restaurant, so we slipped out through the kitchen into the twilight.I had phoned Charlie saying we’d be fine.Hand in hand, we had walked through the streets of the local town, hands clasped and whispering softly to each other.It truly was a beautiful evening, and surprisingly warm for March.We stopped to get gelato at a small ice cream parlor a block from Jaz’s apartment.I walked her to her door, where she promptly turned on her heel, gazing up into my eyes from beneath deep long lashes.

LeilaI walk around my father’s suite, clicking off the lights and dimming the room. My head was still reeling from that dinner with the Luna. It certainly wasn’t what I expected. She seemed… like a lush?I was scandalized even thinking it. The Luna always required the upmost respect, being mated to the Alpha. But Deidre was… well, on the outside, classy, formal, well-kept… certainly polished when you looked at how dark and brooding Alpha Jason could be. Her smile was form, her words oddly formal.But between the glasses of wine, her eyes had swiveled throughout the restaurant all night long. As though she was paying half attention to me, half to the world around us. Why had she really brought me along? And why was she probing so much about my mother? She seemed fixed on the fact that she wasn’t wit

Alpha JasonShredding the ground beneath our paws, Mark and I make quick progress to the location Janas had communicated over the phone.I mind-link with Mark.“Two minutes tops.”“Do you want me to join you or circle in from the east?”“Join me. Janas couldn’t tell from which director the scent came before he lost it. It won’t matter.”All eight legs pounding the forest floor, we reach Janas and the rest of the patrol quickly. Shifting back into our human forms, I dropped the small bag of clothing I had been holding in my mouth as we ran. Unpacking shorts, I quickly donned them as I gauged the scene before me.
