I woke up with a jot as I felt someone stand over me, laughing as I startled Echo. He rolled his eyes and pulled me into a headlock as he tried to give me a wet willy. I growled and twisted his nipple, the two of us rolling around one another as we tried to gain the upper hand. I gasped and then laughed as he grunted, groaned, and curled into the fetal position, his hands cupping his junk. I rolled to my feet and toed his side, shaking him gently. “You ok there honey?” I asked with a small laugh. He looked up at me and glared but laughed out loud with the realization we did that while butt naked. I laughed with him and quickly pulled my clothes on, shaking my head at our antics. “Well, that was an interesting morning show.” Einar commented with a deep laugh as he stoked the fire to light it. I snickered and sat by the fire, putting my bare feet close to help them warm up. “The two of you are close, yes?” “We are. I’ve known him since I was eight, and ten years may not seem like a

“Hello, Darling.” I shivered as I felt the kisses placed on the back of my neck, Magnus’s scent enveloping me as he chuckled. I turned in his hold and buried my face in his chest, lifting my face to kiss along his neck. “You’re here. Did you remove the spell?” I asked curiously, tilting my head back to see his face, growing softly when I noticed the dark circles under his eyes and the tired lines around his face. He even felt drained and tired. “It took more effort than I expected.” He said as he sighed and ran a hand over his face. “It was a strong spell and I managed to remove it. It also isn’t as far from the main pack grounds now, it was the spell that distorted distance and perception of its placement. It’s not a day's journey. It’s just a few hours at a good pace.” “Gods. I’m sorry it took so much out of you Magnus.” I whispered as I gave him a soft kiss, trying to soothe the turmoil I felt from our bond. He shook his head and tucked some hair behind my ear. “Don’t be sor

Over the next few weeks, we settled into a routine. My days were filled with pack business and my evenings were spent with either Stienn or Einar as they taught me the old pack legends so I could pass them on to the pack. And my evenings were spent holed up in my room with my mates after a nightly phone conversation with Blaze. We were intimately familiar with one another now, with no hesitation or shyness on my part to be with them both. Being with them both is just as effortless and comfortable as being with one of them. It was easy and comfortable and I felt secure in the fact that the pack was finally settled. There was no end date for Einar and Steinn's visit and the pack liked having them around to share stories, I think it helped a lot of us original Ravenfield members connect with our origins and roots. For the first time in a long time, the pack and its grounds were at peace. It all came to an end a week before Halloween in the form of a blood-red envelope sealed with gold wa

“Nor do you. She is a person and no one has a right to place any claim on her. She has no mate mark, nor do you so she is her own person. We do not put up with archaic ways of thinking in this pack.” I said, my wolf wanting to snarl and put this ridiculous man in his place.“She is mine. I own her fair and square and there’s nothing you can do about it.” He snarled as he stood, trying to intimidate us as we remained seated. Stienn and Ezra growled at him in warning as Kane stiffened beside me,his teeth bared in a snarl.“Sit down and shut up! You will not say another word until I am finished speaking with the girl. That is an order.” I commanded him as I laced it with a heavy dose of Alpha command. He wasn’t nearly strong enough to fight it so immediately he was forced to sit back down and shut his mouth. Satisfied that he couldn’t do anything, I turned to the woman and tried to soothe her. “Please don’t be afraid. I mean you no harm if you have no ill will towards my pack. Now please

“Cadmus.” I whispered as his arms tightened around me, his nose skimming along the curve of my neck.“I missed you Dear One. Did you miss me?” He asked as he placed a chaste kiss on my cheek. I moved out of his arms and turned to face him, taking in his appearance. His hair was a tad longer than when I saw him last, he had more scruff to his jaw as well. His jeans were old and worn with use and sat low on his hips. He was just as handsome as ever but there was something about his eyes that made me hesitate. They were darker, swimming with more emotion, something deeper than I had seen from him before.“Is that all you have to say to me, Cadmus? Asking me if I missed you when you owe me answers.” I scoff and shake my head, crossing my arms over my chest in annoyance.“Why would I owe you answers? What is it you think I’ve done?” I glared at him and shook my head.“You lied to me multiple times when it came to the black wolves. Pretended like you had no idea who he was. All the while kno
