“He has a wolf,” I whispered hoarsely, then squinted to catch what he was doing when he brought his face to her neck. I recognized the wolf’s canines grazing against her skin, too faint for a human to tell, but knowing the motions of mating, I was able to tell what was happening. He bit her, marked her, and the camera just caught the corner of his left eye under her chin, making it look like he was simply sucking on her skin. The blue in his eyes was shining brightly. It was definitely a beast’s power, and it grew the longer his fangs were embedded in her neck.He knocked her mask off, so I had a clear view of her face as she brought it to his neck, marking him in return. A human might have thought she was nibbling on his neck, or giving him a hickey, but to a wolf it was clear what was happening.Something strange happened when she bit him. Her eyes shone, but they were a vivid purple. I would have missed it or thought it was a lingering feather from her mask, but those eyes have alw

“Dare, calm the fuck down. This is his pack,” Dave tried to reason with the angry grizzly, but every word he was saying fell to deaf ears.Mate, Billy had said.Would a werebear share their mate? I had never heard of such a thing before. They are territorial. We used to read in history books about clans and tribal chiefs going to war over fated mates taking a chosen before them. If Taylor were both of their mates, this could be a shitstorm.“Just let him go,” Jamie said. “This shit will sort itself out in seconds.” He was eyeing Billy like he didn’t think he was a match for Darren.This pissed me off. I may not know him as well as Darren, but Billy was my mates’ Gamma and a close friend. I didn’t want to see him hurt any more than I wanted to see Darren hurt. Cortina snapped her jaws at Jamie, daring him to fuck off. She was pissed for Billy's sake too.I suddenly realized that was why she was so fast to react. She was naturally acting like a warrior Luna, protecting a member of her p

“Rubble?” my bottom lip started to quiver, and I had to quickly bite down on it before anyone noticed. I hate that Rodger was destroying his home, everyone’s home because of me. It was my home too. The first place I ever truly felt free. My stupid fucking choices took that home away from everyone. “I never should have come to Broom StiXXX,” I murmured, burying my face in my arms, heartbroken for everyone’s loss, especially Rodgers.Sparks burst on my back as two different hands started to rub along my shoulders at the same time. One was hesitant and one was more forward, messaging my tissue deeply. The other hand disappeared a second later, and I felt Mick’s breath in my ear. “Don’t say that, cara mia. Please.”“Yeah, Chloe. No one blames you,” Cindy said. “Shit happens. That’s how we all ended up at Broom StiXXX to begin with.”“We can always buy a new building,” Beau said. “We can’t replace you.” Beau then gasped. “Wait, my PS4?”“In my trunk,” Alexi informed him. “I knew better tha

“So, if I…. If I didn’t, you know, become your mate, would your elders push you to take another she-wolf as a Luna again?”Miles didn’t answer right away, and the tension I felt radiating behind me caused me to look back. Because of the tension, I expected to see him angry at the prospect of being rejected, but he just looked deeply sad. It made me stop in my tracks, reaching out to touch him, wanting to do anything to make that face go away.“I….” he looked down at my hand on his arm. I was about to pull away, feeling like I may have pushed some boundary, but then he placed his hand over mine. “I don’t want to take another mate, Chloe. I don’t….. I don’t want anyone else but you.”My heart hurt so bad, feeling like I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. I liked Miles. I really did, but Mick was already my mate. I didn’t know what to do.“Mick didn’t want to share,” I said meekly. “Even though I….. I don’t…… Even if I could stand to be a Luna again,” I said, instead of admitting

Staring into at myself, I started to feel inadequate. I’m skinny, with a flatter body than Chloe and the other woman I saw at the gate. I definitely do not have muscles like Chloe either. I noticed at the bar when she was working that she was curvy but strong. Her shirt would ride up a lot and you could see her abs. She would lug around heavy crates of liquor and beer without a struggle too. I’m skinny, with no abilities or exceptional features. The only remarkable thing about me is that somehow I’m now being loved by two amazing men. Two amazing men that I couldn’t even satisfy last night. Memories of Darren trying to take me while Billy was already inside me made a wave of shame wash over me. I had a slight panic attack and ruined the mood for both of them. I was a virgin less than a week ago. Now I have two men trying to put their enormous things in me at the same time. I didn’t think it was even possible to take Darren inside me when I first saw him. It took me until morni
