A pain erupted through my back as the wolves claws finally came down, causing me to howl in pain.He hissed, and his eyes flared in anger, as he slid out from under me, putting his body in front of mine. Protecting me from any further injuries.“Enough!” Dylan shouted, his voice radiating across the yard.The wolves froze, and the vampires turned to him expectedly.“We do not have a quarrel with these vamps,” Dylan strode towards his pack members. “SHIFT!”His Alpha tone made them all return to their human forms. A female stood over my mate and I, with a smirk on her face. She was proud of the pain she had inflicted.“Mate,” Dylan mumbled, staring at her.She looked up at him and smiled, “Mate.”Dylan looked at my bloody back at her feet, and the blood that covered her hands, and his face hardened. “I, Dylan McGuire, reject y-”He was cut off by me pulling myself off the ground and throwing myself at him, tackling him sideways.I pinned him by the throat, growling at him, “R

For the second time, I woke up to light streaming through my window, with a pounding headache. It looked to be just past noon. My back ached, and I tried to roll over, only to find myself restricted. I slowly opened my eyes to find my mate fast asleep next to me. His arm was wrapped around my waist, pinning me down. He was so angelic when sleeping. A small smile played on his lips. His hair had fallen in his face, covering half his face. I gently brushed it behind his ear, and smiled at him. I felt so lucky. I quickly realized he was shirtless in my bed and I couldn’t help but gape at his perfectly defined 8 pack. His body looked flawless, and it made me want to run my hands all over every inch of him. Hey, stop gaping at our mate, Amanda chuckled. I can hear your thoughts too. But look at him, I sighed. Isn’t he perfect? She purred, Yes he is. “I can hear you, you know,” his voice caught me by surprise, making me jump. My jaw dropped. Oh shit, Amanda grumbled. We forgot about

I threw my hands up, “No, I get it. You’re more concerned for him now.” I sounded so heartless, “He takes precedence over me, okay. I’m gonna go drink some coffee since you’re obviously busy.”She shifted in the bed, “I’m so sorry sis.” Her eyes were wide and glistening,“How are you feeling?”I couldn’t help the slight smirk that crept across my lips, and she glared at me.“You asshole!” She shouted, throwing a pillow at me. “You just wanted to interrupt! Stop playing with my feelings.”I caught it and threw it at the blonde laying in her bed, who was clearly trying to cover his hard-on.He squealed and used his arms to block the deadly pillow. The high pitched little girl screech that came from his lips made Rosy and I both laugh. My laugh was cut off by Cole’s hiss.I hadn’t realized that the blonde’s genitalia was on full display, and Cole wasn’t appreciating that his beloved was getting a view.I turned around and smiled at Cole. “Come on love!” I grabbed his arm and drag

I smiled triumphantly, “To the yard it is.” I gestured for him to walk back out the door.His brown eyes were filled with deceit, and I knew he had something up his sleeve. But I also knew I would be just fine with Amanda.You ready for this? I asked her.As ready as I’ll ever be, she growled. He may not be our mate anymore, but this is his mom, and I’ll be damned if she gets hurt on our watch.With a smile at my new found family, we walked outside. It had been so long with just Rosy and I that this new family was something I would lay down my life for.Jeremy played the referee as we situated ourselves in the field. “This is a fight to the death or till one of you gives in,” he started, glancing between Magnus and I.Magnus had stripped to a black tank top and basketball shorts, while I stood in spandex shorts and a sports bra, with my boots on. There were knives tucked into the inside of them, but I doubted I would need them.“There are no rules. First person to fall to the h

"Ghouls are actually a rare species, and I don’t particularly like them, as ironic as that is," she explained.I smirked. “The problem with you crossing over as a part of the living, is that you will bea target. I felt when you all entered. It sent a shockwave over the land to everyone.” What she was saying was concerning, but I listened as she explained. “Because there are the crazies that find the weak points and try to bring the livingback, there will be bounties on all of your heads. The living are a luxury here. They can give, say ghouls for example, a euphoric type feeling if they were to eat you. Living are like heroin down here,” my eyes widened, suddenly concerned she was going to try to eat me. She put her hands up, “Don’t worry, I’m not going to eat you. I don’t want to do that, regardless of the circumstances. I have no desire to become a drug addict today.”She tried to joke, and while I relaxed a little, I wasn’t completely comfortable.“The reason I’m glancing ou
