All Chapters of Hide and Seek: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

1 week later… “Christine Loup, I know you’re not wearing a sports bra under a dress shirt. What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Summer cries out the second that she walks into my office. Today is my first official meeting with the our area leadership, including the elders. I’m dressed in a knee-length, navy blue skirt that flares around my knees paired with a red dress shirt and red kitten heels. And yes, I have a sports bra on under my dress shirt. “I know it isn’t the most flattering, but it’s the only bra that fits. My boobs have gotten huge out of fucking nowhere. None of my bras fit. I’m spilling out everywhere. And what makes it worse is that they hurt. I’ve had to wear a sports bra to bed the past few nights,” I say. “They are looking rather voluptuous,” JoJo agrees. “Voluptuous? Shit, she could go swimming without a life jacket. She’s got built in floatation devices,” Fati exclaims loudly. I flip her the bird as Summer looks at me critically. “They ha

2 weeks later… It’s the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend and everyone is leaving to go back to the academy. Fati and JoJo left with their folks yesterday. They are driving back and dropping Kayla off at her place so that she can get everything packed up at her house and things moved over from her job. She’ll only be gone for five days, but the hang dog looks on my fathers’ faces was one of the funniest things that I have ever seen. Well…until they reminded me that I’m going to be feeling the same thing when Summer and Rowen leave today. I’ve been up for about 30 minutes, just basking in the feeling of these two wolves wrapped around me. We’ve been together for three weeks now, spending every day and every night together. I’ve fallen deeper in love with both of them and the way that we fit together, not just in bed but everywhere, is just so effortless and natural. It feels like it was meant to be. I shake my head, trying to remove that thought. I know that each of us has be

It’s Thursday night. Poker night with the boys. I love this tradition. It’s something that Hakeem, Gael, and I started when we got everything settled down with restructuring an entire continent’s government and building an entirely new city. We play more for bragging rights, but once my boys and some of the other’s around the academy started joining in regularly, we played for humiliation. The night’s big winner got to pass out some type of punishment to the losers. I’ve had to give training wearing a neon green dress, dye my hair hot pink which incidentally does transfer to your wolf, call every alpha in the continent over FaceTime with a full face of makeup, and given all the lunas in the area a lap dance. But I’ve also made Hakeem and Gael do anything that they wanted to Meredith without ever pleasuring themselves for an entire week, which was well worth any other punishment I may have ever gotten. Tonight, we have me, Hakeem, Gael, Nathan (Naomi’s son with Julian), an

“Amelia Shyla Singh! What the hell have you brought us to?” I ask. It’s Girls’ Night with me, Meredith, and Amelia. Amelia is Declan and Carmen’s daughter, Tomas’s sister, and Gael’s niece. Unlike our males, who do the same thing every Guys’ Night, we have a different person pick what we’re going to do each time. Spa days, cooking classes, wine tasting, the strip club that I will NEVER tell Devin about and thank the Goddess that Rowen had elected to visit Xander so that he didn’t spy on us. We’ve done it all. Fati, JoJo, Chris, and a lot of the other she-wolves come when they can, but tonight it happens to be just the three of us. But tonight is a first. We are in an extremely long gallery, almost like an indoor shooting range. But all the shooting ranges that I’ve ever been in are sleek, modern, and minimalist. This place is all rugged wood, wood chips on the floor, and males in flannel shirts and jeans. Twangy country music is playing loud on the sound system. Waitr

I have never been this nervous about a date before. It’s almost insane that I feel that way right now. But I’ve wanted Rowen and Jared for so long that it only makes sense I guess. And I’ve never been with them romantically on a 1:1 basis. It was always all three of us. Since we returned on Monday, I’ve seen Rowen everyday, but we haven’t really had time alone. Monday and Tuesday nights, I had night patrol. Wednesday, he had family dinner with his parents and I was catching up on school work because of night patrols. I had a test this morning and I definitely didn’t study over break, unless you count anatomy. Male anatomy if you want to be specific. I have two specimens that I could map out with my eyes closed. We’ve had lunch together or talked after training but we haven’t really had any quality time. But Rowen and I have decided that we would have a date night tonight, our first free night since we’ve returned. We’ve got a couple of dates set up over the next few da
