Annie looked into the mirror above the sink in the small bathroom as she washed her hands. She had the oddest sensation flowing through her. Her sense were on overload and she didn’t know if it was because of what had happened in the car with Candy or if it was due to pregnancy.  She was hungry, but strangely she felt full. The feeling after a thanksgiving meal coursed through her, the need to go take a nap was strong. Rolling her shoulders, she stuck her tongue out at her reflection.  For a moment she considered splashing her face with the cool water. She didn’t as she thought about her face. The make up that Abby had carefully applied, making her look less sallow and sickly. She may be tired, but she still wanted to look nice for Candy.  Looking down at the water that swirled down the drain, she felt her face heat up as she thought about the soun

Annie looked among the scuffed bookshelves of the used bookstore they had decided to check out. Fingers trailing over the pastel-colored spines as they browsed through the parenting books. She knew that she should feel excited about the triplets, but the more she thought about it.  The more nervous she felt. What if the pack showed up demanding that they return? Sure, Beau was dead. She hadn’t really sat down to process how that made her feel. There hadn’t been time yet to do that, if she were honest with herself. Annie knew that she had been putting it off.  She was thankful for Candy and the love that she gave her, but she couldn’t help but think about Beau. He had been her first love. Even if he had treated her badly and had been in love with Abby for as long as she could remember.  She was aware that it wasn’t a healthy relationship

The butterflies in Annie’s stomach fluttered to life at Candy’s words. Her heart beat quicker in her chest.“So you, you want to us to be together?” Annie asked, she could feel her cheeks heating up.“Of course, I can’t wait until I can claim you.” Candy said as she grabbed Annie’s hand. Pressing her lips against her fingertips. The eyes of the wolf watching through Candy’s long lashes, studying her mate.Heat moved through Annie, fiery as it followed through her veins. Desire coiled low in the pit of her stomach. How could she feel like this? Things were not resolved, but she wanted them to be.At that moment, all Annie wanted to do was find somewhere quiet where no one would see them. To take care of the need she felt, to feed off of the desire she could see in Candy’s eyes.“I’d really like to get you alone, but there are still things you need.” Candy said as she stepped back, letting out a shaking breath. She didn’t want to let go of Annie’s hand.Weaving their fingers together, sh

Glancing over at Annie, Candy thought about what had just happened. Her mind was racing with the possibilities of what could happen tomorrow between the three of them.  Of what she wanted to happen tonight. Annie reached over, her hand slipping into Candy’s. Fingers moving across her palm, adding to the heat she already felt. She knew it wasn’t the heat of being a werewolf. There was something about Annie that she couldn’t quite put her finger on.  “Candy?” Annie whispered, pulling Candy out of her thoughts.  “Yeah?” Candy asked absent mindedly as she threaded their fingers together, resting their hands on her thigh. She was hoping it would take away the desire she felt to pull the car over.  “What does it mean to have two mates? Would that be like what Beau wanted with me and Ab

Annie gasped as her vaginal walls fluttered around Candy’s fingers. She could feel her mate’s teeth in her skin. For some reason, it felt right as the swirl of emotions moved through her. Candy leaned back to look at her with blood stained lips and wide eyes. Annie pressed herself forward, digging blunt teeth into Candy’s neck, marking her in the same way. The moan that filled her ears made her feel powerful, and the heat that she felt earlier seemed to intensify as the bond strengthened. Concentrating on Annie’s hip. She pulled away from Candy, letting out a groan of pain. “Annie?” Candy asked as she pulled her hand back, her other hand coming up to smooth the hair away from her mate’s face as she studied her with worried eyes. Annie could feel something moving through her and didn’t understand what it was.
