Lexie’s POV “Thank you for coming and getting me.” I say to Emily as we pull out of the lane away from the packhouse. “Not a problem.” Emily says as she keeps her eyes on the road and I can tell something is bothering her. “What’s wrong?” I ask her and she finally turns to me and smiles and says, “Nothing’s wrong.” “Emily, you look like you saw a ghost or something.” I tell her as I look at her closer. Her pale cheeks were flush like she had a fever or something. “Are you feeling alright?” I ask her now. “Eric and I broke up.” Emily finally says and my heart begins to ache for her. “Why didn’t you call and tell me?” I asked her. “You had a lot on your plate lately and I didn’t want to add to it.” She says and I hate the fact that she didn’t come to me with this because she thought I had too much going on in my life. “Now I feel bad troubling you with my own issues.” I tell her as I lower my head. “Don’t feel that way. We can drink our sorrows away together tonight.”

Lexie’s POV Warm strong arms incase me as I wake and the feeling of belonging courses through my veins. I snuggle in more to the body holding me wanting to feel more at home and then the scent of mint hits my nose and whatever was inside of me stirred to life as I felt an arousal come upon me. I knew this scent all too well and I knew whose arms I was in. My mind began to go to war with itself as whatever was inside of me wanted to relish in his scent and his touch as the human side of me wanted to jump out of bed and ream him a new asshole. But the pull from my other side won just for now as I also was loving the feel of him holding me. It was when I heard his voice whisper in my ear, “Good morning my beautiful mate.” That I pulled from his embrace to turn to look at him. I was about to give him a piece of my mind when I saw the mark on his neck and something inside of me cried, “Mine.” As I looked at it with confusion my fingers moved to lightly touch it. My fingers moved over i

Lexie’s POV “Chase you bastard!” Emily yelled at him as we were pulled from the van as my eyes remained on his eyes. It had been since my birthday party that I had last seen him and he hadn’t changed his looks a bit. With his gaze still on me he said to his men, “Take my sister to her room.” And then he walked to me as his men escorted the screaming Emily into the house, eyes still gazing into my own. “Lexie.” Slid off his tongue in a husky voice, like he had longed to see me once again. Keeping my eyes on his not wanting to show him any weakness I said to him, “Chase.” His hand moved around my waist and he escorted me into the house directing me to a study where he motioned for me to sit in a leather chair. I knew I needed to play along with his little game if I wanted to free myself and Emily from him, so I sat and crossed my legs and remained quiet. “Do you know how long I dreamt of finding you?” Chase now asked me as he took the seat in front of me. “No.” I said to h

Lexie’s POV The smell of mint took over all my senses before my eyes ever opened and I knew that Tyler had to be close by. The mere thought of Tyler being close by sent waves of desire through my body and I began to hunger for his touch. My eyes opened to an unfamiliar bedroom but as I took in the scent of the bedding, I knew that I was in Tyler’s bed, and this had to be his place that he had brought me to the night of the auction. Slowly I got out of bed and as my feet hit the floor, I felt different, almost as if I could feel the other side of myself joining as one with me. I moved to the bedroom door and opened it, and I went down the stairs trying to find him. Sure, enough I was in the mansion that I was brought to all those years ago as I take in the marble entry way. Hearing voices I moved towards them taking me deeper into the house and I stopped when I heard Tyler says, “I don’t know how I am going to explain it to her.” Then I heard Emily’s voice say, “She is going to

Lexie’s POV Samuel sat on my couch as I finally emerged from my bedroom freshly showered and dressed. His eyes moved slightly from the television to me as I entered the room and headed for the kitchen to make a pot of coffee. I worried that things were going to be awkward between the two of us now that he had his mouth between my legs but then again he had also seen my naked in a tub before too. When the coffee was done brewing, I poured two cups and walked into the living room handing him one as I sat on the couch a cushion away from him. I began to watch the movie that he had on and I could tell that his eyes were not completely watching the movie before us. Finally, I sat down the half empty cup of coffee onto the coffee table and turned to him and asked, “Are things going to be weird between us now?” Samuels head completely turned my way and he said, “Not unless you make it weird.” “Then why are you stealing glances at me?” I asked him almost frustrated. “Because I alway
