Thirty-two: Mason Crescent “Mason…Mason….” There was a woman’s voice calling my name. “Mason, please wake up.” My head was pounding. My vision kept on going in and out. A face appeared in front of me. I looked up, and there was a woman sitting next to me. “Mia?” I said. She smiled at me. “Yeah, it’s me. Oh my god. You’re alive. I was so worried…” She grabbed my face by both sides and kissed me on either one of my cheeks. “I’m so happy that you’re alive!” I winced as I went to sat up. “Mia, you’ve—ow---” I coughed, and she covered her mouth in worry. “Ooops,” she said. “I’m sorry.” I smiled up at her. “It’s okay. I just hurt. What the hell happened?” “You shifted, and you were attacked by The Carinas,” said Mia, “and um…I…. well…” “You what?” “I shifted too.” I blinked, and stared at her. “You shifted on your own?” Mia nodded. “There was some wo

Thirty-four:Mason Crescent            There was a slight screaming behind Mia after she came in. A pretty, blond girl with green eyes that I recognized as Edwina Campbell came through. From what Mia had told me, she was Oliver’s mate. The two also seemed to have a complicated history as, although he’d been making annoying comments about her earlier, he still went and helped her get up when he saw her.            “Safe travels, Campbell?” he said.            Edwina nodded. The two stood there staring at each other awkwardly. Oliver was still holding her hand like it was the most precious thing in the world to him. Edwina coughed. “Thanks…. but we’ve got business to attend to, Hartwell.”        &

Thirty-six:Mason Crescent “How are you feeling?” my brother asked. I looked up at Cole. I was in my old room, tying a tie, so that I could get ready for the wedding ceremony that I was supposed to have with Mia later. “Fine. Great. I’m marrying my mate. It’s going to be wonderful. I’ve wanted Mia for so long, now she is officially going to be mine.” “Are you sure?” Cole said. “Because you look….” “I look what?” I asked. “You look a little sad,” Cole told me, “I know it’s hard because we don’t have our parents here.” I shook my head. “It’s not that. It’s only that Mia’s already had so much taken from her. I hoped that when we finally got married, it would be on her terms. Not because she was being forced into something.” “You always planned on making your mate your wife, didn’t you?” Cole said. I nodded. “I always did.” “Then it would have happened anyway…what’s the big deal?” h

Thirty-eight:Mason Crescent How had I wound up unconscious again? If I was at full Alpha strength, this wouldn’t have been a problem. Someone had knocked me unconscious and now, as I woke up, I was struggling to make sense of where I was. As well as to get rid of the dizziness from the pounding headache that I had… “Oh, I like seeing you like this,” a voice said. I looked up, and standing over me was Sullivan. I squinted at him. “What are you doing here?” I asked. “Where’s your brother?” Sullivan laughed. “Oh, I killed him a long time ago, and took over his place as Alpha. You were so busy being obsessed with him being obsessed with your sister that you never stopped to realize there was something wrong with him.” “What was that?” I asked, coughing a little. Blood came up as I did, dribbling down my suit. I tried to remember the fight…the bastard had broken my ribs. It hurt to even try to breathe. I had no doubt they

FortyMason Crescent When Sullivan took me from my body, I was stuck somewhere in between nowhere and my memories. I kept on going through all of the times that I had messed up with Mia. After the trip to The Hamptons, I’d pretty much warned her off completely. But then one weekend, Brooklyn and I were hanging out when I smelled something that left my wolf howling. I’d nearly put a piece of pizza in mouth when I noticed that there was something off in the room. “Brooklyn, did you have a werewolf over?” Brooklyn frowned. “What do you mean?” “I smell…Sullivan Carina.” She laughed. “Well yeah, we’re friends with him. He comes over all of the time.” I raised an eyebrow. “Brooklyn, his family kidnapped Meredith and tried to force her into being his mate. Why would you even trust him for a second?” “Because, just because he’s part of the Carina family doesn’t mean that he’s completely evil. He’s actually a v
