Lottie’s POV Wow, Spring Valley Pack is beautiful. I can’t get enough of the scenery as we drive in. It’s picturesque. I could never get bored with that sight. The hills, the trees and the place is so clean, they obviously looked after it. Not like the human town where I am from. No one seems to care about anything. I also looked at the man beside me. He is nice to look at too. I can’t believe how lucky I am. But all of that is thrown in my face when a beautiful woman has her arms wrapped around him. She looks like she is kissing his neck. The neck I have marked. Looking at how she is holding onto him, they are close. That lying arsehole, he told me he loved me; he told me I was his first. I gave him my virginity. What was I, the first this month? I can feel the anger boiling inside of me. He deceived me. He is on his knees before me, and I can only give him a scornful look. He has broken my trust. “I will explain everything once we are inside,” he says with a gui

Lottie’s POV Ember blocked me out as soon as she took over our body, last night. She must have had a great time, seen as my body is throbbing. Everywhere just seems to ache. What was she doing? Then again, do I really want to know? What I do know is that I am lying on the ground naked when I wake up next to Maddox. Who is also naked. When I start to move, he wakes up. “How are you feeling?” I ask him as he sits up. “Well Xavier, is exhausted. I doubt he will give me any trouble today. He has told me that he has met his match with Ember.” “I don’t know what to say to that. All I know is she is feeling satisfied, or that is the feeling she is giving me anyway.” We both laugh. Maddox helps me stand up as I seem to struggle. Today is supposed to be about me and Maddox, but I am not sure my body will cope. Ember has worn it out. “I finally got the night with my mate that I wanted,” she says. I am pleased for her, but also annoyed as i am so tired. There's a chance I won't get

Caren’s POV Parker’s SUV pulls up outside of a large house, like the size of a hotel. I practically bounced out of the vehicle when I saw Lottie running down the steps. I missed her. “Took your time getting here, didn’t you?” She says to Parker. I don’t care, though I just want to enjoy my hug. “You will never believe what happened.” I told Lottie she really will never believe it. I can barely believe it. “Wait until I tell you what is happening here, you will never believe it.” She had a seriously unimpressed look on her face. I’ll let her go first. Get the bad news out of the way first and end on a high. “After we left Mountain Creek Pack, we went to Silver Mountain Pack. I met my uncle and grandma.” She didn’t look impressed, from the sounds of it. Her uncle sounded creepy and untrustworthy. The Wolf Council guy needs a good smack. Her grandma sounds okay, though. She told me about Lily when she arrived. I was fuming with Maddox. But then I calm down when she explains to

Maddox’s POV “Are you sure about this, Dwayne?” I asked my best friend. “She is my future and if this makes her happy, this is what we will do. I don’t think I am getting too bad of a deal, to be honest.” After seeing how upset Sophie was in those toilets. She was fully prepared to reject him, but Lily managed to sway her and come up with a solution to their situation. I just hope they will all be happy with the compromise. I know Dwayne has always had a crush on Lily. He was gutted when she refused to date him when they were younger. It devastated him at the time, but he eventually understood why she had refused to date him. Especially when she told him about her love for a particular young woman. When we entered our fake relationship, Dwayne’s help was essential. He has always been a great friend and covered for us frequently. Now though. Things have changed and he is more than happy with the romantic situation. He has a few reservations but overall happy. He

Caren’s POV I am absolutely sick of this place and it’s only Monday. Krystal and her cronies have been on form today, and I mean on form. So far today, the rumors she has spread are. That I have been sleeping with my sister’s mate and his brother. Not to mention that I spread my legs for Dwayne before he left. It makes me laugh that out of all of us, I am probably the only virgin. I can cope with anything they say to me. ‘They are only wolves, after all.’ I was sitting in the cafeteria reading one of Lottie’s books when Krystal spilled her drink all over it. I am fuming. Normally, I am not a violent person, but I want to blow her out of a window every time I see her, one of the top floor windows, that is. I close my eyes, ‘their only wolves, their only wolves.’ I tell myself, trying to calm down. It doesn’t work. I honestly don’t know how Lottie coped for all those years. Every time I look at Lottie’s book, I get angry again. Nothing is managing to calm me down, so I left sch
