I need to be efficient with my time management. I know André. So I know patience is a virtue he is strongly lacking. If I don’t get back quickly, he will get bored, sneak out of his room, and cause Goddess to know what chaos. So I hauled ass from the hospital to town hall for a headcount. ‘All able-bodied Bloodmoon pack members are to report out front of town hall immediately!’ I called through the pack link.  I was relieved to arrive at the town hall and find people standing around waiting. “Line up! I need a headcount!” I commanded, moving to stand in front of the group as they hurried to get into lines.  I frowned as I counted. I should have twenty-three warriors who came with me, seven who were here before the war, add in Isis and Amelia. I should have thirty-two. “Why am I short seven?” I questioned, mentally counting again. I counted five times, and I still only counted twenty-five. I froze when I realized one of the missing faces.&nbs

Oh my god! The Delaney family is just adorable. And I am pretty sure I will get along great with my new sisters, especially Sadira. She’s Collin’s twin, and suddenly it all makes sense.  I want to just give Deb a big hug. She seems like such a loving, sweet, bit firm-handed mamma. Kevin seems nice too, a bit lost in the logistics, but nothing rude was said. And Darren’s brothers.  Oh, Goddess, no wonder my mate can so easily handle my crazy. Those two are something else. I’m still going to hit them or at least pinch them hard for being mean to Darren, calling him a girl because he’s joining my pack. That was rude. After telling his family about us, I had hoped we could move to the fun part. The part I’ve been waiting for since the minute I caught his scent. I want my mark on this man’s neck and to be fully mated to him.  Too bad he gave me some news that would supersede even my need and desire. My sister’s safety. So fin

I think the war ending and telling his family was like a light switch in Darren. I’m not saying he wasn’t adorable, sexy, and sweet before this. But it was in more limited settings.  Now he’s cool walking through town holding my hand. And don’t get me started on his playful, flirty side. Who knew this man could flirt so well.  I guess I shouldn’t be surprised he’s good at it. He did have his share of exes before he met me. Now his witty and cute flirting will only be used on me.  I could and will get used to this side of him. Especially the sex. Fuck the sex. The only thing that could make it better is me getting to tap that ass. And I have plans for that to happen as soon as he’s ready. And can I just say him quoting a line of the Fellowship of the Rings movie was so perfectly nerdy it was adorable. I’ve watched all those movies and read the books, of course.  I’m a big fan of Orlando Bloom in or out of that blonde wig. I’

I never thought Bisnonna would die. I mean, rationally, I knew she would, but it just felt like she’s some eternal person.  I didn’t think I’d be this affected by her dying either. Of everything, though, I shouldn’t be surprised that Darren’s good at handling me.  He’s very comfy. And glittery. Why is Darren glittery? What was he doing between me getting in the elevator and showing up in Papa’s office? I’ll ask later. But, for now, I’m going to just enjoy cuddling into him, talking out about Bisnonna. And enjoying being out in the open with him like this.  “Why did your Bisnonna hate Alpha Alec? Yes, your mother wasn’t his mate but not uncommon for werewolves to get involved with humans. Especially if they’ve gone a long time without finding their mate.” Darren questioned. “Well, Bisnonna and Melania had this prophecy back before Papa was born.” I sighed. I tried to remember the exact words. Darren just waited, letting m

André chuckled, squeezing my hand. “Oh, you poor thing. And I mean, I honestly couldn’t tell you where Oregon or Washington are on a map. I know they are in America.” I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, I might need to educate you on the states.” I sighed as we entered the elevator.  “Seems fair. You educate me on your country, and I’ll educate you on mine.” André shrugged. “Now, I’m sure Alpha Logan and Beta John won’t notice the glitter.” He smiled, leading the way to his office. Somehow I doubt I would be so lucky. And well, once I got the video call pulled up on the wall-mounted TV, I prepared for the worst. Alpha Logan and Beta John came on the screen, Alpha Logan sitting at his desk with John standing slightly behind him on the left. “Darren, why the fuck are you covered in glitter?” Alpha Logan instantly greeted. “Collin and Kurt thought it was necessary to explode glitter poppers at me when I arrived this morning to celebrate finding
