~Missy’s Point of View~   I couldn’t believe how touchy-feely Ryan was with me, I just wasn’t used to this kind of attention from a male, but I loved it so flipping much! I’d be dreaming about it every night until I can see him again.   He held my hand every chance he got and because of his large size and stature I just felt so little and dainty. I’d literally never felt like that before. And the way he looked at me… goddess. He looked at me like he wanted to devour me, like he just had all these things working in his head that he wanted to say and do and he was fighting himself.   I never imagined anyone would look at me with that kind of passion. It absolutely ignited a fire in my belly that I never wanted extinguished. I was sure if he actually told me what he was thinkin

~Missy’s Point of View~   I couldn’t believe I was ruining their date so badly, I was an absolutely horrible mate! Maybe I really was just a loser. Maybe I really was just doomed to be alone, there was no help for me. Surely they’d find some excuse, some reason to dump me.   After I got sick I just felt worthless. Hunting, eating raw meat, that is what wolves are supposed to do!! Goddess they probably think I’m pathetic. Well, big shock … I am.   They think I’m fit to be their Luna? Even more of a joke! What kind of pack would follow me? I’d be a laughing stock, I’d humiliate my mates.    Ryan’s wolf led us back to the clearing where their clothes were. He laid down and I swung my leg over him and slid down. I

~Ryan’s Point of View~    Last night with Missy was a real wake up call for Nate and I. Once we got back to our cabin we were so amped I didn’t think we’d even sleep. We were both beyond pissed off that other pups were mean to Missy. That shit didn’t happen in my pack, but I guessed Missy didn’t have a big brother or someone looking out for her. No one to kick some ass and take names. Well she fucking did now!   I wished I’d have punched that snotty little bitch when I had the chance. But the Beta was right, our packs had a good relationship and I couldn’t fuck that up. I also couldn’t have Ridge and Tyra pissed at me for messing things up for them with Hollow Hill.   Damn politics. I hate it.   *Yet you wanna

~Missy’s Point of View~   Was I allowed to have my mates in the house without my parents home? They hadn’t said. They didn’t ever have to give me rules like that since I obviously never had males over. My mom did nothing but drool over them herself and dad just talked to them about their packs and how things worked. It didn’t seem like my mates cared a whole lot about how my parents felt right now.   Ryan carried me up the stairs effortlessly, like I was just a sack of potatoes. I craned my neck up to see Nate a couple steps below, grinning for all he was worth. He winked. I made a face. I had no idea what the context of the face was but I was so nervous.   Never, ever more nervous.   I mean, I had been alone in the

~Missy’s Point of View~   “I heard they tried to rape her,” someone whispered.   “I heard they beat her and raped her, she’s probably knocked up,” another whispered.   “I heard they punched her dad,” someone said.   This was my second day of the aftermath of my weekend, and while it seemed like no one was talking about what happened at the movies … this was far worse.   I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to breathe while paying attention to the teacher. We were in our small auditorium, having a mass lecture on the history of our council, and learning about the Shadow Warriors. They seemed so scary and intimidating.
