Leilani-I have only been to a restaurant once before in my life, at least that I could remember. Before Alpha William stopped coming around me, he took me outside of the territory because he had business in town. There wasn’t much I remembered about then, except for one thing.What had to be the most delicious thing I had ever tasted, I could never forget. Ah, there it is, I thought as I looked over the menu. Chocolate cake. Whoever thought to create this, was an absolute genius in my books.“Is there anything I can start you off with?” The waitress said when she returned with the waters we ordered.There was only one thing on this menu that I knew I would like. Other stuff sounded good and all, but you could say I was a picky eater. It could have to do with the limited foods I have been exposed to as well.“How about your monster nacho cheese platter?” Eric asked the waitress.Looking over the top of my menu,

Leilani-There was no way he was telling me the truth. Brook didn’t seem like she has led anything but a perfect life. In just the few minutes I was around her, she did nothing but smile and look happy.Eric reached toward me and placed his finger under my jaw. When he pushed up, I realized my mouth had been wide open. Shaking my head, I blinked at him a few times, this time keeping my mouth closed.He pulled his hand back, which kind of bugged me a little. I wasn’t sure why I cared if he touched me or not. I should be relieved he pulled back, except I wasn’t. Now I craved his touch, in a way I couldn’t begin to fathom.“You have to be kidding me.” I blurted out when my mind returned to the subject at hand.“’Fraid not darlin’. When Tate had found her, she had barely been alive. Some of her classmates had beaten her just seconds from her life. She has come a long way since then, but she was in a

Eric- It was an innocent question, yet it pissed the hell out of me that he even considered the possibility of me rejecting her. On the other note, he made a valid point. There were dive bars that we could get into and put our noses to the ground, but unless she has the rank to back her up, she would only get walked all over. As much as I hated it, there were a lot of wolves that looked down on anyone that they felt was less than their standing. Technically I wasn’t an Alpha, but even I had Alpha clearance in other packs and the other resources our kind had outside of our pack. A lot had to do with the fact I had Alpha blood, even as a Beta. “First, fuck you for thinking I would reject my mate.” I growled out the words while wondering if I knock my brother’s teeth down his throat. Even Desmond released a growl, which made my growl sound louder and more challenging. Brother or not, I had no problem kicking his ass for even suggesting it. At that moment, I felt a s

Eric-I was over the moon with Leilani agreeing to the contract. After talking to Tate, I let him, and Brook go to bed. I, however, couldn’t seem to get to sleep.It didn’t help that my mate, whom I was growing very attached to in just a short time, was just down the hall. Instead of tossing and turning, as I have been for the past hour, I quietly got out of bed. As quiet as I could, I left my room.When my eyes fell on her open door, my feet decided to walk towards her room. I suppose if I really wanted to, I could stop them, except I didn’t want to. Reaching her room, I peeked inside.Her curtains were open, allowing the waning moon to illuminate her room. She was laying on her side, with her body curled up and her face pointing towards the door. Her face kept crinkling occasionally as if she were having a bad dream.My wolf tried to urge me forward, so I could comfort her. As much as I would love to do so, I thought it best tha

Leilani-Stopping dead in my tracks, I nearly dropped the glass of water in my hand. I had thought Eric had left for the day. Seeing him walk in, caught me by surprise.“Oh, you’re back. Did you forget something?” I practically stumbled over my words.What was it about him that just looking at him right now has me all flustered? Maybe it was because I was still a bit off balance this morning from waking up in a strange place. It wasn’t that I wasn’t glad to be away from my old pack, it was just going to take some getting used to.“Nope. I just figured you might be hungry, so I brought you something to eat. Brook made it, which I think you will love. She is a great cook. It was probably the best thing about her when I first met her. Of course, it wasn’t, but damn she can cook.” As he rambled on about her, I felt a sting of jealousy run through me.There was no reason I should feel jealous of Brook, or
