DrewDAY 1After leaving the Blue Moon pack, I got home but couldn’t turn my mind off. All of this was Taylor’s fault. Why couldn’t she have accepted me for who I was and been the faithful mate I knew she could be? She fucked my life up, and now she thinks she deserves her “Happily Ever After?”Fuck that, and fuck her. They would all pay for what’s been done to me. All I did was love, and this is how they repay me. I glanced down and noticed the back of the pack whore I was fucking. I had almost forgotten she was here, but whenever I called for them, it was always the same: shut your mouth, do not touch me, and keep your hideous face down. If they weren’t Taylor, at least I could pretend they were. Seeing and hearing them ruined the fantasy. They were only good for a temporary release, nothing more. I didn’t love them, or anyone for that matter. I had given my heart away, and it had been destroyed. I could feel my wolf, Killian, right at the surface. He was pissed as well and wante

TaylorDrew really was a maniac. It’s not like I didn’t know before, with all the shit he had put me through, but I never thought he’d risk so many people’s lives by setting my apartment on fire. It made my decision to become a wolf so much more justified. I couldn’t be weak anymore. Not with him out there. But why was he still after me? If he really was gay, there was nothing I could do to satisfy him sexually. Maybe he just wanted someone he could manipulate in public, then have his real fun behind closed doors. When we were together, he could so easily control me. He was so good at it, and I wouldn’t even know it was happening. Maybe he misses that semblance of power he had back then and wants it back. That’s the only thing that makes any sense. “Are you alright, love? I can see you’re thinking super hard right now,” Matt said while leaning over my bed and wiping my face. “I’m alright, all things considered. How much longer until the transformation is over?” It had been about f

Matt The rest of the week passed with no major issues. Nothing in the apartment was salvageable, so Taylor and Morgan moved into the packhouse with Kade and me. Morgan was more hesitant about it than Taylor was. She’d be living with a man she had known for less than a week—a man who happened to be a werewolf and commanded hundreds more. But with Drew now missing, there was no way Kade or I would let our mates out of our sight until he was found. That also meant the girls couldn’t go to school, and Taylor was absolutely not okay with that. “Matt, you can’t keep me from getting my education. I need to get this degree. Do you know how hard I worked for this scholarship? I’m the first person in my family to go to college; I can’t just quit,” she argued. “I’m not telling you to quit, and I’m not trying to keep you from an education. I know how important this is to you, but you’re not safe out there. Just take a semester off.”“A semester? That’s half the year! I’ll be too far behind i

MattI woke up Sunday morning and immediately called Gio to make sure he had Taylor’s passport ready for us. He was annoyed by my 5:00 a.m. call but assured me that it was ready. He’d even had it messengered to the private airport we’d be leaving out of. Little brothers weren’t so bad after all. I got dressed, carried all the luggage down to the garage, and loaded the truck. She wasn’t much of a morning person, so I wanted to wait until the last minute to wake her. “Taylor, it’s time to get up now. We’ve got to be at the airport in an hour.”“Mmmm.”“Come on, the truck’s already packed, and you can sleep once we board.”She rolled over and had a small tantrum before opening one of those beautiful green eyes and looking at me. “If it’s a private jet, why do we have to leave so early? Tell the pilot to wait a few hours.”She turned back to her pillow, and I quickly lifted her from the bed before she could snuggle back in. “The flight plans have already been created, and we’re not chan

KadeWith Matt and Taylor on vacation, it was up to Xander and me to start the search for that idiot, Drew. At first, I was happy to stand back and watch Matt tear him to shreds, but then he targeted what was mine. Twice. He’s fair game; whoever kills him kills him. I quietly opened the door and crept into my room. I’d just gotten back from training, and Morgan was still asleep. She had been spending all her time at the hospital with her family while her brother recovered. He was doing way better than the doctors expected, which was a relief to all of us, and I could see the way Morgan was finally able to relax a bit at seeing his progress. I stopped by the bed to kiss her forehead and pull the blankets over her naked body before heading off to the shower. My entire body was screaming at me. I knew I needed to slow down soon, but I couldn’t yet. Not until we found Drew. I stood under the hot spray and let it wash over me, beating down on my tight, sore muscles. The feeling was inc
