We alternate between my house and hers in the city where she lives with her sister, Maeve, and my brother, Xander. It’s a toss up as to which house is more uncomfortable to stay at; mine because you’d think my parents were rabbits instead of werewolves, and Meadow’s because Xander and Maeve just had twins, increasing the size of their family to seven. They’ve only been together three years, but that hasn’t stopped Maeve from pushing out pups as fast as Xander can give them to her. And that doesn’t even include Maeve’s an

ReaganI wake up late on my birthday only to see Meadow in my face staring at me.“What are you doing, creeper?”“Happy Birthday!” she yells and then does some magic that glitter bombs my entire room.“Aren’t you supposed to do something that I like on my birthday?” I grumble. I am so NOT a glitter girl and no matter how much magic she uses to get rid of it, I still find glitter all over the damn place. The last time she did this, I found glitter on my ass cheeks. No, scratch that, one of the warriors who saw me shift saw glitter on my ass shining in the sunlight and I’ve never lived it down.I’m pretty sure I’ve punched every male warrior in our pack for calling me Glitter Buns and every damn one of them said it was worth it. Bastards.“Look, grumpy, just because your mate wasn’t here last night, doesn’t mean he won’t arrive today,” Meadow says much too cheerfully.Every one of the Alphas and royals that had been here last night had wanted me to continue the party until it was midnig

KieranI’m furious at my wolf, but more furious at myself. I should have been stronger, should have been able to keep him contained.“Please don’t kill him,” Elias says again.“Elias, if you don’t fucking move out from in front of me, I’m demoting you.”“It would be worth it if you lived, Alpha,” he says.I drag myself to my feet. I shouldn’t be able to stand after the power that ripped me off my mate. But her power, all that fucking power that flowed into me for the few moments that Samson’s canines were in her neck, has strengthened me. And while I’m still at risk of going feral if we don’t complete our bond, Samson is much more manageable right now.“Your Gamma is very protective of you,” the older man, obviously my mate’s father, says.“My name is Alpha Kieran. I come from a pack out west. We literally just arrived and when my wolf smelled his mate, he took over. If I were in my right mind, I never would have marked her without her consent. But unfortunately, what my Gamma said is

KieranWow. Just wow. I haven’t been able to keep Samson in line for a long time, but this little slip of a woman, our mate, not only called him forward, but then she smacked my nose. Thankfully, Samson was forward and took the brunt of her slap as she intended. At least, I hope that’s what she intended.The shock resonating through me from Samson makes me want to laugh out loud. I might, if I wasn’t still so angry with him for what he did. He deserves everything she does to him and more.‘I was going feral,’ he says.‘Not an excuse. You’re a fucking Alpha wolf.’‘All the more reason that I was struggling,’ he growls.“Did you just growl at me?” my mate’s wolf snarls.The power emanating off of her is incredible. I felt it when Samson sank his canines into her neck but still. This level of power is unheard of.‘Not unheard of, just rare. I told you, she’s a Guardian,’ Samson says.‘What does that even mean?’ I ask him.‘I think you’re about to find out,’ he says as our mate stands up a

KieranI was put in a room with Elias. We were given food, two beds, and two guards at the door. I told Elias to get some sleep. The man looks like he hasn’t slept in months and he probably hasn’t. I, however, can't sleep.Unlike before when I couldn’t sleep because Samson was being loud and obsessive in my head, now I’m trying to figure out how to make sure that my mate decides to accept me. Samson isn’t prowling around in my head like before, but he isn’t exactly settled either.I wanted to walk off the stress of the day, but when I opened the door, the guards had politely but firmly told me to return to my room. Since I’m sure Samson would try to find Reagan again, I do as they say and continue to pace.“Are you okay, Alpha?” Elias says, sitting up in his bed and rubbing his eyes.“How bad is the pack, Elias?” I ask him.The silence in the room speaks volumes.“That bad, huh? Is it all because of me?”“No. But the lack of leadership has been ... a problem. One that I hope will be re
