บททั้งหมดของ Ethan's Choice: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

"You're young, you'll love again." although Ethan knew his sister had nothing but good intentions, Emma's words still stung him all the way to his core. He needed comfort from his twin, he was now coming to the realization that this was a journey of grief that he would be traveling alone. With that realization came a feeling of despair it would have been impossible for him to imagine just three days ago. Pushing past his pain and anguish he squeezed his sister's hand. He looked her squarely in the eye and said, "I love you bug, I'm just so tired. Can I call you later?" Emma gave him a skeptical look "Are you sure? I can stay with you as long as you need." With just the slightest, almost unnoticeable quiver he replied, "I really need some rest. Honestly bug, I'll call soon."

"Oh, your brother! Goofball, really? You know what? He's actually never said my name! It's always goofball, clumsy, klutz or butterfingers! Do you even remember the time he called me ham-handed? Do you know what ham-handed means? I do! I had to go home and look it up. It's, it's it's...the same as the rest of them! Just who does he think he is? OHHH!" Katie groaned and quite literally stomped her foot.Emma sat quietly and listened to her best girlfriend's rant. As she was putting the last curl in her hair she said, "Katie can you check the back and curl anything I missed?" She knew this would divert Katie's attention long enough to tell her what she had been thinking for quite some time. "Katie, there's som

"This can't be happening, he's my mate." Katie had this thought running through her head over and over again as she ran down the street. She didn't know where she was going, she only knew she had to get as far away as possible. "What have I done that Goddess would be so cruel to me? My best friend and my boyfriend mated." The plans Katie had for her life began to disappear from her own mind. What would she do? Where would she go?She then did something she had only done a handful of times in her young life, she shifted. Her wolf was stronger than her human form and was sure to cast away the pain. Only Katie still felt all of the anguish she felt before the shift. Her wolf began to run, she ran until Katie's human mind was exhausted and Katie submitted fully allowing her wolf to take her wherever she wanted,

"Let's forget about the mate stuff for tonight. This room is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen and the music is perfect. Let's just dance, mingle and have some fun." Emma said to Katie as Katie gave her a skeptical look. Katie told her how much she loved her and that she was there to make sure her friend had the greatest night whether she found her mate or not.Emma said hello and thanked every guest she passed on her way to the dancefloor. A few times she slowed down while speaking to her guests who happened to be over eighteen, single and of course attractive, taking her time to take a deep breath. She still smelled a mixture of chicken marsala, lilies and frosting. "Never mind", she thought "I'm just going to make tonight fun all of these people are here to celebrate me and Ethan. They deserve to have more than a mopey birthday girl." She was actually proud of herself for feeling and acting so mature. "Come on Katie", she shouted over the music. "Let's have s

As Ashley walked away from Ethan with the saddest look Ethan had ever seen, he saw Stacey coming towards him with a very-determined look. He thought to himself, "I need a change of scenery." He headed toward the door on the front of the building pretending he couldn't hear Stacey call his name over the thump of the music that was coming from inside. He was much faster than her and was able to make it inside and into the men's room before she even crossed the threshold. Brad had watched this play out as he sat at the head table with Meghan. He gave a small chuckle, stood up and placed a kiss on his wife's forehead. "I'll be back." He laughed. Meghan replied happily, "Take your time, I'm really enjoying myself." Being sat at the head table was a huge honor and Meghan was completely engrossed in her conversation with Luna Catherine Reid. Their talk of babies had Meghan even more excited than she had alrea
