A heaviness set in my chest and I sprung up from where I lay. My body felt heavy and feverish. Within seconds my stomach was twisting in ways it shouldn't and I crawled to the edge of the bed spewing the old blood that was left from last night. The god awful smell making me continue until there was nothing left in me.   Gerwulf came bursting from through the door covered in sweat and bruises. He flipped the light on and had to cover his nose to keep from getting sick himself. I groaned and turned my sore feeling neck to look at him. His warm arms wrapped around me and the feeling of his fire singed my skin causing me to yell out in pain. Between the fever taking over me and the flames it was just too much. He placed his hand to my head," fuck you're burning up!" His voice was filled with panic and he wasted no time running from the room.   My eyes were bouncing around and my stomach was starting to twist again. I had to shut my eyes to keep

"Alright alright. Give him back," Julian was pouting like a child as he watched his parents take turns holding Max. Forrest laughed at his son while Colette hissed lightly and hugged her grandson tighter.   "You'll get him back when we're ready to give him back," she snapped.   I couldn't hold in the laughter watching Julian deflate and sulk back over to our bed. My head pounded as my muscles tensed up with laughter. "It's not fair. All of you guys have had hours to be with him and I've only had minutes," he lay his head into my lap and puffed out his bottom lip.   "Guess we'll just have to make another so you always have a baby to hold," I used my free hand to pet at his hair. The other was currently occupied with Gideon who slept soundly curled against my chest. He'd cried so hard when Gerwulf put him down that it felt like my ear drums were ready to burst. Thankfully some milk had fixed that problem. Jack from the cou

GIDEON 'You should really cut your hair,' Otto, my shifter spirit hissed at me. I rolled my eyes, staring into the mirror. I'd just gotten out of the shower after morning training with the pack. Did I really look that bad? My large hands twisted through my long brown locks. Maybe? Demeter said she liked guys with longer hair. 'Yes you do. Don't listen to that girl,' he grew more impatient. Otto had been a constant source of annoyance my entire life. He'd been awake in my mind since childhood. Something that I never told my parents about. Mom doesn't know about the deal that my father made with the council. It's better if neither of them know about this. When both of my sides awaken then I have to start my service. Five years, no exceptions. It was a thought that had haunted me for a long time. Father told me about it on my thirteenth bi

QUINN I just knew that leaving would be a bad idea. Everyday away for the last three months it's felt like I'm losing my mind. His smell, touch... all of it. I craved it so much. Slipping up and giving into my darkest desires during that party ruined everything. It completely broke all the rules my pack and his parents had given me. I wasn't allowed to make a move on Gideon until he had his first shift. It was forbidden amongst most werewolves and lycans to let a mate know you're theirs until they come of age. The moment he left my mother had confronted me. His thick scent of sandalwood was now intertwined with mine. Soaking up every bit of my being and making me dizzy. Being sent away for 'training' was her form of punishment. She was worried I was going to mess up everything they'd planned. Gerwulf had become unpredictable once the council started contracting him for work.

I want to give a big thank you to everybody who followed along with this story. It took a lot for me to upload it in the first place and it makes me incredibly happy to see that people were interested in it. :) This will be continued in my second book "Love Thy Hellhound"! I have already started uploading chapters on it but I will give a sneak peak into the book for those who might be interested.   LTHH is going to be a lot darker and include some of the characters from this story. It starts off nine years from the time the last "Aftermath" chapter takes place. It is currently only available through the mobile site because it hasn't been signed yet. I've already uploaded nine chapters of it.   Again a big thank you for anybody who gave this book a chance! I appreciate each and every one of you.   -INSECT
