Wolfblood Chapter 34
JASMINE After a horrible week of training, I was so happy to finally have a day off. Because it was the first weekend day off since my birthday, my mom planned for us to look at wedding gowns that day. Blake had his office manager and an event planner taking care of most of the wedding details, due to the importance and size of the event, so I only had a few things I had to do to prepare. Of course, I would have preferred something small, similar to the wedding I had grudgingly attended for Luke and Lucy earlier in the year, but it was out of my hands. Because Luke and Lucy’s mate bond and marriage were considered shameful, they had opted for a small affair, getting married in the local human town hall. On a cold Valentine’s Day afternoon, the two of them spoke their vows, Lucy’s huge belly squeezed into a wedding gown a month before she gave birth. Afterward, the small group of us (which wasn’t actually that small considering the size of both Lucy’s and Luke’s families) went to a re

JASMINE “Pull over!” I screamed. “What?” My mom gasped, signaling to turn onto the side of the road. Fur was beginning to sprout up my arms and legs. As soon as my mom’s car touched the side of the road, before she even stopped, I threw the door open and ran into the woods at the side of the road, trying to take deep breaths to hold off the inevitable. As soon as I was out of the view of the road, I threw off my clothes and shifted into my wolf. Thank Goddess I made it. I hadn’t brought a change of clothes. Would my panic attacks ever stop for good? How could anyone expect me to be a luna when I couldn’t even be normal? I lay down on the ground, letting out a deep breath, and waited for the feeling to fully pass so I could shift back. “Jasmine!” I heard Tyler’s voice. He ran over and squatted down in front of me. “Are you okay, Jasmine? What happened?” “Panic attack,” I mindlinked him. “But, why? We were having a nice conversation. Your mom was opening up to us.” “Because I don’
Wolfblood Chapter 36
TALIA Things were awkward. Very awkward. Alex kept trying to make an effort at conversation with me, ask me on dates, eat meals with me, and I kept having to reject his advances. When he’d leave to do whatever he did all day, relief would flood my body. There were times that I’d lose control of my thoughts and think back longingly on the five perfect days we’d spent together, softening me to the idea of him. But I’d instantly shove them from my mind when I caught myself slipping. There were many things I forced myself not to think about. It was the only way I could continue to function like a normal person. Things like catching my mom doped up on painkillers and later finding out she’d spent all of her money again. Or being twelve years old and sprouting breasts, suddenly being touched and noticed by different men who worked at the brothel, feeling powerless and defenseless. I’d still sometimes have nightmares about Old Man Joe, who used to fondle my breasts every day. He was one of

TALIA After Hugo and I spent the afternoon together, Alex came home and relieved Hugo of his babysitting responsibilities. He then came to the couch and sat down next to me. “Talia,” he said. I kept my head turned away from him. “I wish you’d at least tell me how I can fix whatever made you hate me.” I could sense a deep pain and longing, forcing me to soften toward him. “I would honestly do anything. At this point, I’m willing to banish my sister for you and turn her into an enemy of the pack. I don’t want to because she is my sister, and she’s not all bad. I know she did something unforgivable, and I don’t want to make excuses. But you have to understand that she loved my father very much. She loved him much more than either my mom or I ever did. She was devastated when she lost him. That was her way of reacting to the loss. I know I can’t expect you to understand, but I want to at least give you some perspective.” “You would have done the same.” I glared at him, giving him th

TALIA I woke up much later than usual the next morning. My body was uncomfortably hot, the blood pulsing through me possibly boiling. I threw the covers off my hot, sweat-covered body, and luxuriated as cool air touching my flushed skin. My nerves were so sensitive. I let out a moan as my fingers traced the outline of my ribcage, electricity sparking under my fingertips with every slight touch. When I slowly began to gain consciousness, I started recalling the vivid details of the dream that I’d awoken from. It’d been a nice dream, of Alex’s muscular, naked body—his very broad shoulders, strong and protective arms, massive pecs planted above the sculpted ridges of his abdominal muscles. The dream was so realistic—I even recalled how it felt as he pressed against me, his skin rubbing against my stiff, peaked nipples as his body slid over mine, his hips gliding between my legs as, oh God, as I finally felt his huge— Damn, I was so horny recalling all of those vivid details. I’d even or

BLAKE “The invitations are ordered,” my office manager, Mariette, said to me on a rainy Tuesday afternoon in October. “They’re putting a rush on them, and they’ll be mailed next week.” “Make sure they don’t mail the one for the Baker family. I want to hand deliver it,” I said. She looked at me sadly. “Yes, I made sure that that one won’t be mailed.” “Good.” I left the office and went back to my own, letting out a deep breath. I’d finally have to visit Ria’s family and tell them the news. I’m sure they knew by now, it was big news around the pack, but I still knew I should tell them in person. I’d been putting it off—putting everything off. While most of my depression had slowly lifted over the last year, thinking about Ria still seared me. She was a ghost I knew would never truly leave me. This both comforted and scared me. I hated the idea of forgetting her, but it was also difficult to exist some days, her memory now a part of who I was. I busied myself going through the differe

BLAKE She immediately brought her hands to my torso and kissed down the center of my chest, making her way to my belt. She unfastened it and began pulling off my pants. I slid them off and turned my attention to her, pulling her shirt off and unhooking her bra, revealing her beautiful, perky breasts, with the most perfect, erect nipples. Goddess, I fucking love everything about her. I quickly kissed my way down her right breast, placing my hand on her left one and gently rubbing the nipple between my fingers, licking the right one, savoring it as I lapped my tongue against it and sucked lightly. Jasmine moaned softly, and I continued what I was doing, reveling in her reaction. Her hands wove themselves through my hair, moved down to the nape of my neck, and I lifted my head, peering in her eyes. I brought my hand to her hair, gliding my fingers through it and moving my hand softly down her neck, shoulders, and arms. I loved the feeling of her skin on my fingertips as I touched ever

BLAKE As planned, everyone came to the packhouse early the next day and piled into my Wrangler. I held Jasmine’s hand as we drove, hoping to show her that I wasn’t mad about the previous night. “You guys have to see the most hilarious cat video I found this morning,” Tyler shouted from the back. I rolled my eyes. I glanced in my rearview mirror to see that he was showing Jack who started laughing and then passed his phone to Jasmine. “I swear, the only thing he does at work all day is watch cat videos.” Jack chuckled. Jasmine let out a laugh and said, “Oh my Goddess, that is so cute,” and then passed the phone back to Tyler. “I need to do something to give myself a break. There are only so many lines of code I can stare at before I start to go crazy,” Tyler responded. “I get it. Patrol duty can get pretty boring. It’s not like we have intruders breaking into the pack every day. I think the last time anything happened was when we found Talia,” Jack said. “That was pretty entertain
