IrinaACTUALLY, HEARING Hunter tell his pack that we were together was really shocking! Did these people share every damn detail of their lives?! I knew werewolves had a heightened sense of smell … They had a heightened sense of everything! Could they smell it on us? We did take a shower before we met with them … Could they still smell what we did after the shower?My cheeks turned bright red at the mere thought that every single person in the room knew exactly what we had done! I was standing in the corner trying to figure out what I wanted to drink when Emily rubbed up against me. Her smile just said it all and my face burned!“Do all of you know?” I tried to whisper as a smile burst out over my lips. Emily was trying her best to hide her smile but as soon as she burst out laughing, I knew they did.“Why are you whispering?” She whispered and I burst out laughing.“I take it you all have enhanced hearing as well?” Emily nodded and I rolled my eyes. Emily moved around the table and m

IrinaSINCE MISS SALLY had no family, my mom helped me to arrange her funeral. Her lawyer, who I didn’t even know she had, contacted me the day after she died and I just left all the legal stuff in my parents’ hands to deal with. All I wanted to do was say goodbye. I didn’t want to drag any of it out.Hunter and the pack were there for me every step of the way, and it was almost as though the death of my darling Miss Sally brought Hunter and my parents a little closer together. I had completely forgotten that he invited them to dinner on the day Miss Sally died, and while we were sitting in the lounge of her old house, I suddenly remembered.It felt as though I had been walking around in total fog for the past week and suddenly the fog lifted. After we said goodbye to the last of the guests, my parents told me that Miss Sally’s lawyer was waiting for me in her old office. I nodded, knowing that he was probably going to tell me I no longer had a job. Well … It wasn’t as if this week co

IrinaWe made love, and although it was amazing, it wasn’t the same as the first time. I felt as though I had somehow lost my connection to Hunter. I loved him, that much I knew, but living here, with his people wasn’t part of what I planned for my life. In the morning, he took me home so I could pack for our holiday. I took my mom on a shopping trip to make sure we had everything we needed.The four of us met up at our house, and Hunter’s people drove us to the airport. Hunter pulled me closer as we walked to our gates and I was beginning to get excited. We were going to the Greek islands for our holiday. I had always wanted to walk on their white sandy beaches and just sit on the porch of a white and blue Greek home.I never imagined I would ever be able to do something like this, so when we took our seats, I took a deep breath, and felt Hunter’s hand rest over mine. I had never been on a plane and my passport was brand spanking new! Hunter kissed my palm and I felt myself calm down

IrinaWE TOOK MY PARENTS HOME after our long flight and I could feel Hunter was excited to tell the pack the news, so we drove straight to the pack house after leaving my parents to rest. I fell asleep on the way and Hunter woke me up as soon as we arrived. I knew I probably looked terrible after all that travel, but I was so happy and relaxed that, for once, it didn’t matter.Emily was the first one to run up to us and her eyes caught the ring instantly. Isiah got the opportunity to congratulate us after Emily hugged us both. I thought I heard Hunter growl softly when Isiah hugged me and Isiah just laughed. I didn’t ask, since I was just too tired. Thankfully, Emily and Isiah had gathered everyone already and a loud roar of applause echoed throughout the forest as soon as Hunter told them that I had said yes.“As you all know, Luna Irina is human. For now, we won’t be having a Luna ceremony because I am not ready to lose her yet.” Hunter frowned as he looked at me and I smiled, feeli

Irina“Irina, sweetheart, Miss Sally left that money for you.” I knew my parents would see what I did as charity, but I also knew that eventually they would accept it. For now, at least, they could breathe and they didn’t have to worry about losing their home. I also decided not to sell Miss Sally’s old place. What just happened with my parents made me realize that anything could happen. We didn’t wish for it, but sometimes life took a turn for the worse and then you needed back-up of some kind. I was also wondering if I should move in with Hunter. It was clear that my parents needed my help, but my father must have guessed where my thoughts were going.“Irina, you have to start living your own life. You can’t hang around here until you are eighty and have thirteen cats to keep you company. We appreciate your help and I will pay you back, but you have to think about your own future now. Hunter is a good man. He will look after you.” To say that I was surprised was a complete understat
