Anna’s POV“Mom,” Claire comes into my room after knocking. “We haven’t seen you all day. What’s up?”She plops on my bed in that carefree way a teenager does.“A lot is going on baby girl, just working my way through it,” I tell her.“You and Daddy have been off for like two weeks now, Nic's Graduation is tomorrow, you okay, y’all okay?” She asks me.I kiss her head. “When you are older and mated, you will understand the ups and downs of a committed serious relationship.”“Okay, whatever you say,” she lays on her back and stares at my ceiling. “Do you regret not having sex before Daddy?”“Oh boy, the downside of you dating Nic, we have to talk about this,” I lay down beside her and stare up as well. “I want you to wait, because if he is not your mate, you will regret it. But you are seventeen and have to decide what you want.”Claire plays with her fingers the way she does when she is nervous.“He and I have been playing with each other for a while, I am worried he is going to get ti
Cullen’s POV“Where are we going?” Mable asks me.“I told you our first time wasn’t perfect, I want our second to be perfect,” I drive up the mountain.“We have had many, many perfect opportunities and you keep turning me down. I am starting to think you don’t want to have sex anymore. It’s been over two weeks,” she tells me.“You really want to be fucked against the door in a broom closet at school?” I ask her, taking her hand.“By you? YES!” She answers, squeezing my hand.“Well, sorry, no, I’m not doing that,” I tell her.I pull up to a clearing by a lake on the side of our mountain. Luke helped me set this up. I have a tent with a bed set up, rose petals everywhere, and the light is provided by LED candles. Luke called it mood lighting. He also started a small campfire for us to start our evening.“WOW,” Mable says, as I pull her to the log in front of the tent by the fire.“Shall we start with some meat, cheese, and crackers. I think Claire may have made this, there are olives an
Mable’s POV“Good morning” Cullen has the most calming morning voice.“Good morning to you,” I smile, as we start kissing.Last night we made love until we passed out from exhaustion. And from the way he is moving this morning, I don’t think I am leaving this tent for a while.After an extremely satisfying morning, Cullen gets out of bed.“Breakfast?” Cullen asks, opening a cooler I didn’t even see last night.“Yeah, sounds good, what ya got?” I ask, tossing his shirt on.“Bacon, eggs, coffee, and side of you,” Cullen smiles and I laugh.“You already had your side of me sir,” I say, standing. “HOLY SHIT, CULLEN!”“What's wrong?” He grabs me and holds me.“I can’t walk, what the hell did you do to me?” I ask. The pain between my legs is intense. My thighs feel like someone stabbed them, or is stabbing them as I walk.“Baby,” Cullen tries to hide his smirk. “I am really very sorry. I guess you just weren’t built for an Alpha male.“Oh,” I swat at him. “You know what asshole, you might b
Cullen’s POV“Hey little brothers, HAPPY SEVENTEENTH!” Claire wakes us up.It’s our birthday! Not the good one, not the one we want it to be, but still our day.“You know you are more annoying now that Nic is gone to training,” Luke tells her.“Oh please, I have always been annoying,” Claire laughs, and tosses gifts at us.Luke opens his and smiles, “Thanks, big sis! I was running low.”He shows me all the really expensive crap he uses in his hair.I open mine and its twelve new blades.“They are already silver,” Claire smiles at me. “Just keep Mable away from them.”“She has learned her lesson,” I tell Claire.“School time, losers, get up,” Claire bounces.“The girls want to go out tonight,” Luke tells me, as we get ready for school.“Yeah, Mable wants to double for dinner, but then split,” I tell him. We look at each other and we are wearing the same shirt. “DUDE!”“Yeah, what the hell?” He asks. We both change quickly. “Never speak of this.”“Right, never,” I repeat.We get to scho
Anna’s POV“Well, one more year and we will no longer be responsible for our children. I see the light at the end of tunnel,” I say as I sit in William’s office. “And you will not meddle in their lives?” He asks me over paperwork. “I have no intention of meddling as you call it. Are their presents ready?” I ask. “Yes, being delivered as we speak. You really think they want their own bedrooms? I mean, they have been in the same room their whole lives. You don’t think they will want to stay that way until they are mated? They are identical, they could share a mate,” William raises his eyebrow. “No, they need their own rooms, they are seventeen, Cullen is actively having sex, I think with Mable DeMur, and Luke has had sex in the past, but I haven’t scented it on him in a while. He must be a in a dry spell,” I shrug. “You worried about Mable DeMur?” William looks at me. “Cullen is strong and wants his mate. Mable will be 18 soon and when she is, she can find her mate. I don’t think
Cullen’s POV“Hey baby, I have my own room,” I tell Mable over the phone.“Soundproofed?” she asks.“Nah, but see, my parents' room is, so as long as we are super quiet until they go to bed, it’s fine,” I smile into my cell phone, waiting for her response.“You know when I turn 18, I am eligible for a packhouse dorm,” she is teasing me.“Yeah, have you applied?” I ask.“Yeah, and a messenger just brought letters from the Alpha’s office,” I hear that beautiful smile.“What do they say?” I ask, biting my lip.“Oh, I haven’t opened it yet, my phone rang, it was the man I love, so I took the call,” Mable giggles.“I love you too,” I say, waiting to see if she meant to say it or if it was a slip of the tongue.“I’m sorry, I didn’t say it in the hallway earlier. You really threw me off,” Mable’s smile has fallen, I can hear it.“I know, it was sudden,” I tell her. “But the important thing is that you have said it now and we both love each other. So wanna sneak over here and help me break in
Mable’s POV“Baby, how many shoes do you own?” Luke asks Sable, as we are moving boxes from the van to our packhouse rooms.“It’s not that many, geez,” Sable rolls her eyes. “I want a reward after this,” Luke teases her. “Soundproof room, baby, you can be rewarded all night,” Sable teases him back. He takes the stairs with new energy.“Do I get a reward for helping?” Cullen asks me.“You got paid upfront remember,” I say smiling, reminding him that we had sex already today.“Yeah, yeah,” he says, rolling his eyes.“You know I’m gonna give it up again,” I tell him, as we put the last of my boxes down in my room. “My parents are at the Alpha meeting. We can sleep here, or at the Alpha house, but either way I get you all night long,” Cullen pulls me to him for a kiss.“The last time you had me all night long I was walking funny for a week,” I tell him.“Yeah, but now, you are more experienced, it shouldn’t be as bad,” he tells me, kissing down my neck. “Do you want your present now
Mable’s POVBABY BOY-Good morning, Baby. Meet Luke and I in room 301 as soon as you get to school. We are on the way there with LIAM and Claire.“Sable, I just got a text from Cullen,” I tell her, as we walk to the kitchen for breakfast.“Me too, Liam and Claire?” she looks at me, with questions in her eyes.“Suddenly, I’m not hungry,” I say, she nods, and we rush to school.Cullen wraps me in a hug the moment he sees me.“I don’t give a fuck if you are her mate, you touch Mable, I kill you,” Cullen says to Luke.“Same, man, same,” I look over and Luke has Sable wrapped up tightly.“What is going on?” I ask.“Liam is fated to Claire, they accepted each other,” Luke tells us.“So, Nic is still mateless?” Sable asks.“Unless he rejected his fated mate in hopes of Claire doing the same,” Cullen says.“Either way, I’m not giving you Sable if this happens to us,” Luke says.“Oh goddess,” Sable shakes and grips Luke.“What’s wrong?” I ask.“He’s an animal. You can barely walk after a night
