Addy’s POVTristan came home early today, said his meetings were done quickly, and he had missed me. Tristan and I have always been close, but since losing dad, our bond has grown even deeper. We had spent the morning chilling on the couch and having a movie day. Tristan decided we should cook the cookies first and then have Jimmy’s. I was surprised by his change of plans, but more so because he seemed like he was up something.We had spent our time baking laughing and singing along with the music on his playlist. I was pulling out the last batch of cookies, when I turned around and caught him grabbing a cookie off the cooling rack.“Tristan! I told you no cookies until we have them all packed up!” I yelled at him. He dodged away from me when I tried grabbing the cookie from him. I maybe the younger sister, but I can pack a punch. I have socked him and Braxton several times before for being jerks.“Oh, come on! It’s one cookie Addy. I couldn’t wait.” He takes a bite and groa

Addy’s POVGabby, Lizzy, and I pull up the lake in Tristan’s truck. We jump out and pull down the tail gate, so we had somewhere to throw off our shirts and shoes.As we strip down to our bikini tops, we look around. Several grills were set up where some of the guys would grill meat later at the top of the hill. There are several pre shifters here, all of which are from my senior class and pack.“Okay Ladies, let’s go find some hunks to hang out with.” Gabby says while rubbing her hands together.“Gabs you look like you are getting ready to eat.” I laugh at her. She shrugs her shoulders at me, and smirks, “Well we are about to give the guys around here a feast for their eyes.” Lizzy and I both laugh at her, as we walk down closer to the beath. “I think I found one to ogle at while we are here,” Lizzy says while she stares off towards the volleyball court where a game had already started. “Yeah, Greg does have the abs that’s for sure,” Gabby said in response. I looked over at Li

Alpha Jack’s POVMaria, Gamma Blake, and I all met in my office after we were assured by the doctor that Addy would be okay. This was the second rouge attack in two weeks. They are coming for Addy, and we needed to think this through.“All three of the boys are going to be staying there until she gets out. You know they won’t leave her side. They don’t know why yet, but you can already see the pull they all feel for her.” Maria said as she sat on the couch curled up next to me.“It will help her heal if they stay, especially Braxton. I know they don’t feel the full effect of the mate bond, but it will help her.” Blake said while sitting across from us in the side chair.I hear a chuckle out of Maria and look down. “What my love?”“They don’t even know their mates, but their pull is so strong. Brax is already in love with her. Did you see the way he looked, and he would have killed that young pup if you didn’t pull him off.” Maria responded to me.“Brax has been in love with her

Tristan POVAll three of us left Addy after Lizzy and Gabby showed up. I made sure they promised to keep an eye on her and if she ever started to feel bad, they were to call me immediately. I would keep my phone on me the entire time just in case. When we got to Alpha Jack’s office all three of us walked in and took a seat on the couch. Alpha Jack, Luna Maria, and Gamma Blake were all there. I started to have a feeling that this meeting wasn’t going to be normal. Alpha Jack looked over at Gamma Blake and he stood up and locked the door. He came back over and sat in the chair in front of us. They had arranged for three chairs to sit in front of us, it was a bit intimidating if I am being honest.“Well, this just got intense,” Aaron said as Gamma Blake sat back down. “I need to make sure we aren’t interrupted, and yes, this will get intense. The information we are about to give you…It’s going to be hard to believe.” Alpha Jack said while looking directly at me. I had a feelin

Addy’s POVI woke up feeling better. My ribs were still sore, but everything else had healed. I looked down at my arm and noticed there wasn’t even scaring. Thank the goddess. I was about to get up and go the bathroom for a shower when Tristan knocked on my bedroom door, before walking in.“Well, I am glad I am not naked.” I said in aggravated tone. He knows I hate it when people just walk into my room without my acknowledgement, and he does it just to irritate me.He gave me that annoying big brother smile, before he came over and sat down beside me on the bed. “I heard you move around; I have been waiting for you get up before I came up. So, I knew you weren’t naked, and well, that’s ewe.” He said with a laugh. I laughed at him and slapped his arm. “Yeah, that is definitely an ewe.”“How are you feeling today kiddo?” he asked, while looking down at the ground.“I am feeling okay.” I looked at him for a bit, before asking, “Tristan, are you okay? I know you are super prote
