MattAnother six hours later, and all of Taylor’s muscles were screaming at her for relief. The heat was intense for a wolf, so I couldn’t imagine what it was doing to her as a human. I decided that a hot bath was just what we needed, so I ran the water, then carried her into the bathroom. “You need to relax now, baby. Tomorrow is going to be twice as intense as today was. So, see if you can rest now and try to regain your strength.”I stepped into the tub and lowered us both down. The water was damn near boiling, but I wanted it to penetrate her sore muscles and loosen them up. I soaped my hands and ran them up and down her back, gently pressing my fingers into her skin and easing the tension. “This feels so good, babe. Thank you. And thank you so much for today. You’ve put in some serious work.”“It’s been my pleasure,” I said while leaning forward and kissing her neck. “So, I’ve got something important to talk to you about,” I began. “More important than the possible baby situati

Matt It didn’t take long for Alpha Daniel to signal us that we were clear to go back inside and finish the meeting. It wasn’t the ending I was expecting it to be, though. “Gentlemen, in light of the recent discoveries about my son and his ‘situation,’ I’d like to request a small continuation of sorts before these talks conclude,” Alpha Daniel stated. “How long would this ‘continuation’ be exactly, Alpha?” I asked. “Three months. My son feels that he was given the wrong mate. If mistakes were made, that could explain his behavior afterwards. We would like to confer with the elders to cover all our bases.”“‘Mistakes were made’? Since when does the Moon Goddess make mistakes? If his mate is a male, then it’s a male. There’s nothing wrong with being gay,” Xander stated. “I’m not gay, Alpha Xander. I think all the women I’ve slept with can confirm that. This is definitely a mistake.”“Fine, but how does the wrong mate justify what you did to Taylor?”“Emotional distress? Maybe I wasn

MattI loved Alaia like a sister, but I swear, at that moment, I wanted to string her up by her tiny little feet. Why would she tell Taylor about being turned? She might as well have told her to go walk down the middle of a busy highway. While sitting and waiting for Taylor to try on her dress for tonight, I was furiously typing, deleting, and then retyping my hate message. Before I pressed ‘send,’ Taylor stepped out of the dressing room and made me forget exactly what I was so mad about. She had chosen a floor-length, off-the-shoulder burgundy dress with a front slit that came all the way up to the very top of her thigh. The back plunged to just above the top of her firm, round ass, drawing your eye there and holding it. And it was tight, so damn tight it looked like it was painted on. I had never seen anyone so sexy in my life. “Matt, is this too much? If so, I’ve got another one I can try that’s a little less revealing,” she said while checking her reflection in the mirrors. I

Kade After Matt got up and left the table, I sat back and looked around the room. Xander, Alaia, and Alexi were happily matched up and married with three kids. They had everything they wanted. Matt was probably balls deep in Taylor that very moment, so I’m pretty sure his life wasn’t lacking for anything either. Here it was, my birthday, and I was all alone with just my friends and family. I played it cool most of the time, but I did want a mate. I wanted what these guys had. I was tired of sleeping with random chicks that never fully satisfied my needs. That shit was getting old; I was getting old. “Kade, do you want anything in particular as a gift for your birthday?” Alaia asked me. “Nah, what I want you can’t find in stores. Having this quiet time with you guys is more than enough. Well, that and the cake that’s on the way.”She gave me a sad smile and placed her hand in mine. She knew what I was missing, so being the person she was, she tried to offer me some comfort. “You’l

MattAs we left the house, I took Taylor’s hand and began a slow, comfortable stroll to the falls. It was about a two-mile walk, but it was such a beautiful day, and I didn’t want to waste it in the car. I took her through the Blue Moon Village, where most of the pack lived, so that she could see how a normal day for a werewolf looked. “The company does really well, so well that none of the pack has to pay for things like rent, electricity, or water. Being a member of our pack guarantees you shelter and family. That’s something Xander’s family has always been firm believers in.”“So, if they don’t have to pay for anything, why do they work?” she asked. “They pay for food, TV, clothes … basically everything else. It’s not a free ride; just their housing is covered.”“That’s a big burden taken off them. I love it.”She smiled as we walked further into the village, and I showed her around. The majority of the pack were extremely friendly and came out to meet their Gamma female with ex
