As Archie and I walk into school, I reach out to grab his hand as we walk towards my locker where Ria and Stephen were talking together, probably waiting for us to get here."Hey, guys, Archie said to them as he held my hand tightly in his. "Hey," Ria said with a small wave while also stopping herself from bouncing up and down with excitement since it's been quite a while since we've seen each other because Ikinda of threw myself into my school work that I missed and haven't focused onanything else."How are you cheerful on a Monday?"I ask, leaning back against the lockers as they all chuckle. They chuckle as I lean my head against the locker I am standing next to. Archie leaned down and placed his hand on the back of my neck before pulling my lips towards his in a soft kiss. "I have to go talk to my math teacher, I'll seeyou later."He walked away with a smile, catching up with some of his friends who had just walked in the door.I looked over at my friends, who both had smirks se

"How old's your brother?"l ask him since I haven't even heard anything about this brother until right now. "That's the thing, Ryan's 15. He's notsome kid that can't handle his own shit. My mom's a psychotic bitch that doesn't understand that I'm 19 and can handle things myself. She thinks we'restill kids and can't do anything ourselves, he says and I can just see the anger boiling on his face as his hands tighten into fists."You just gotta help her understand that. Even if you are legally an adult, she'll never see you as one because you're her baby. As is Ryan probably, so you just gotta help her see you as the real age you are,' I tell him. He nods his head, visibly calming himself down. "Yeah, you're right. I'm Sorry, it was just pretty irritating."I heard more rustling behind us and I turned around, looking for any visible signs that someone or something was there, but came up empty. I turned around in my chair again, feeling the heat of the fire warming up my freezing body. "

"Oh. I'll persuade him and we'll have an amazing time."She smiles and lays her head on my shoulder again. We watched as Archie talked to my parents to explain the whole situation to them because they weren't leaving here without a real explanation. Jasmine reaches over and grabs my hand. "What if it happens again?" I look down at her and wish I could tell her that this wasn't ever going to happen again, but at the same time, I'm now an alpha of afucking werewolf pack. I have an unusual mate bonding with Archie that many people want to experiment with and there are plenty of hunters in this world who are constantly searching for werewolves and werewolves' mates along with rogue packs that want revenge on my pack. "If it does happen again, I'll be okay. I will come back and we'll have the rest of our lives to experience together. This isn't something you need to worry about though; there's a whole pack protecting me, okay?”.She nods against my shoulder before I turn up the volume on

I stood staring at the tombstone for a few minutes, resisting the urge to cry as I stared at her name. This was the first time since the funeral that I've seen grandma because l just couldn't build up the courage to come until right now. I wasn't even sure I was going to get out of the car until my legs just started moving on their own. I placed the flowers on her grave with shaky hands, hoping that I would just wake up from this terrible nightmare.I turned around to look at the car and I noticed that Archie was staring down at his phone, probably wanting to give me some privacy at the moment. I kneeled down next to the tombstone, placing my hand on the cold marble, feeling closer to her that way. "I don't know what to say or how to even say it now that you're gone."I wiped my eyes with my sleeve, wishing that she could just be here right now. Her smile was always so contagious and she always knew the right thing to say. Seeing her meet Archie was one of the best times in my life be

The bed creaked when he pounded into me, stopping for a second to let out an indecipherable noise that sent a chill up my spine. I balanced on one hand as the other travelled between my legs to touch myself. My eyes squeezed shut when he removed his nails from my hips and placed it on my ass as he slowed his pace and carefully pulledout before sliding back in. I bit my lip to suppress a groan from coming out as he teased me with how slow he was going. He kept going like that and when I looked back at him, his face was flushed red and he looked kinda embarrassed."What?" I let out in a breathy tone. "l hurt you," he said, holding up his hand to show his nails with traces of blood on them. I reached out to grab his hand to help pull me up so I was sitting in his lap, his cock burying deep inside of me. I placed my hand on his thigh while he landed on my stomach to stop me from moving."It's okay, it feels so good" I whisper weakly to him. His hand slid down to cover mine before he star
