Ricardo Harry shivers next me and I glare at him from the corner of my eye. He's been acting weird ever since we arrived at Colt's parents' house for Heleni's eighteenth birthday celebration. "Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you? " I mindlink him. He loosens the tie at his collar and wipe the sweat from his brow with the back of his hand. "Are you ill or something?" "I don't know, man, I've been feeling weird all day." "Yeah, maybe that's what you get when you break bro-code and sleep with the enemy." Okay, I might still feel slightly upset about that, but I have to get over it with everything else going on. I just can't fathom how he could make such a stupid mistake. "Are you ever going to forgive me for that?" He shakes his head. "I know it was stupid, I just felt very lonely that night and she was there, so...." "Let that be your last mistake. I can't deal with shit like that anymore. We need to be solid." "Yes Alpha." I hardly ever use my position of power with my frie

Ricardo It's starting to get harder and harder being around Ianthe. She has suddenly developed this boldness that is officially driving me insane. Spring has sprung, and along with it the weather has become significantly warmer, the woods sporting beautiful wild flowers now. Her wolf loves the flowers, instead of running she prefers to lie down between them looking good enough to eat. Daemon is going to lose his mind soon, so instead I make him leave her there and run his frustration out. I've never benched so many weights in my life before. She's also started wearing these damn dresses, each one shorter than the last and Goddess knows, I can't take it anymore. My office door suddenly bursts open and Harry enters looking disheveled, his tie loose around his neck. "I can't take it anymore!" He walks straight to the liquor cabinet and instead of pouring him a glass as usual, he swigs straight from the bottle. "And what is it that you can't take?" I sigh, getting up and joining h

Ricardo "Did you get confirmation?" Harry wants to know as soon as I get back to the office. "Yes." I accept the whiskey he hold out to me gratefully. "Everyone will be here in about ten minutes." He says. "Shit man, this changes everything for everyone." "I know." I say simply. I've thought about it ever since The Wisher asked me to ask the question that I was wondering about. My mind has been a jumbled mess along with the fact that Ianthe is dangled in front of my face like a ripe apple that I'm not allowed to bite into. Never in my life had I thought something like this would ever happen to me. As soon as Ianthe and I are mated, I would become the most powerful wolf alive. I don't think I've wrapped my head around that yet. My whole pack would become immortal if they choose to stay. To think Ianthe is being hunted down to be killed to prevent that makes me furious. Legend goes that no other White Wolf has survived to be mated before. If we do this, we will be the first and

Ianthe I peer at Heleni from underneath my lashes. There's a blush that wasn't there yesterday. "So..." I start. "What happened last night?" "Mmmh?"She looks up from her cereal bowl, startled. "Last night Harry followed you to the bedroom, what happened?" I'm asking not so much out of curiosity, but because I need to learn about sex. Everything I know is from what I googled on the internet, but no one has ever told me in person. The blush deepens on her cheeks. "Well, you know, stuff." "No, actually I don't know." I smile. She's usually so sure of herself, it's cute that she's so shy all of a sudden. "Ugh!" She exclaims. "Harry is so infuriating! Why did he have to come over last night, Colt will kill him if he finds out!" I shrug. "Technically, you are mated to the guy, so I don't think Colt has much of a say." "The idiot obviously knew I was going to be here, it's Ric's fault." She points her finger at me. "I know he told him." I can't help but laugh. "It doesn't look lik

Ianthe The sun seems as if it's brighter today, the white of the daisies even whiter amongst the greenery and brown of the woods. Is this what it feels like to be a real woman? Whole. Heleni's plan didn't work out as we planned it. I fell asleep before Ricardo got home. I'm blaming it on the amount of tequila we drank yesterday. A wolf usually has a high tolerance against alcohol, but in my defense I've never drank before except for the odd glass of wine with Ricardo at dinner. And lately he hasn't been home to have dinner with me, so I usually eat by myself sans the wine. I was supposed to pretend I fell asleep in the wrong bedroom, but that backfired when I really fell asleep. I don't even know when he got home and joined me in bed, just when I woke up that he was holding me and then.......things happened. My face burns as I think back to this morning. The feel of his erection, his hands all over my body and his tongue. Goddess, his tongue. If someone manages to kill me now,
