Bonus Chapter 19 – Homework

Finn“There’s no magic anywhere in our house,” Tori tells Lillianna. “I checked every single room, morning and night, like you said. The doors, the locks, the toaster. Nothing.”“And?”“All of it’s in Finn.”Lillianna turns and looks at me.Tori’s not wrong. For a few weeks now, she’s been hunting for my wolf all over the house.She’s found him at the coffee maker, in the shower, halfway through a bowl of Froot Loops, and once while I was on the toilet, which I’ve asked her very nicely never to do again.She does it in bed every night too, and I’ve got no complaints about that one. This morning’s homework turned into her on top of me on the kitchen floor, and we got here late.Nobody’s ever studied me this hard before. It turns out I love it.“Describe him,” Lillianna says.Tori frowns while she hunts for the words. She doesn’t usually have to.“Warm,” she says. “Alive. It’s like there’s something lying right under his skin with him. It isn’t him, but it isn’t separate from him either

Bonus Chapter 20 – Chosen

ToriFinn’s crying so hard he can’t get a single word out.He’s hiding his face in both hands, and his shoulders are heaving. I’m staring at him in wide-eyed shock, my hand still on my neck.It can’t be a no. When Finn turns me down, he doesn’t cry. He explains carefully, with reasons laid out so it doesn’t hurt my feelings, wearing his most serious face.I put my palm over his heart, the way I do every night for my homework. His wolf’s there, closer to the surface than he’s ever been, pushing up into my hand like he wants his ears scratched.I tug Finn’s wrist down so I can see him. His face is red, blotchy and soaking wet.“Is that a yes?”“Yes.” He nods so hard the whole bed bounces. “Goddess, yes. Sorry. I’m so happy I can’t breathe.”Thank God. For a few seconds there, I was scared to death.“Then why are you crying?”“Because you asked.” He scrubs at his face with the heel of his hand. It doesn’t help at all.“I’ve been working on a speech for years. I was going to ask you to ma

Book 2 - Another Shot - Chapter 1

Hi allIt was recommended I start a second book for this, and I'm waiting for it to be approved or rejected. But I know you're all waiting anxiously, so I'm going to start publishing some chapters here. If the book does get approved, the first 5 chapters will be free to read as always, so if you'd rather wait for that, please do.Chapter 1 – PacedCodyThere’s a wolf in the trees on my left, keeping pace with us, and he isn’t one I know.My wolf noticed him first, because he’s the one driving and I’m the guy in the passenger seat who isn’t allowed to touch the radio.‘He’s been with us since the frozen creek,’ he says, like it’s a fun fact.The creek was ages ago. You didn’t think that was worth mentioning?‘I’m mentioning it now.’After spending so much time away from them the pack’s barely a hum at the back of my head, but I know none of them are close by. It’s a long drive to this park, and they have no reason to come out here when they have perfectly good woods to run in on their

Chapter 2 – Every Hour

Cody“Codes! You came back to us!”Tanner’s arm hooks around my neck the second I’m through the front door, and he drags me into the living room to show me off to people I’ve already met.The house is doing what it does most nights. Music I can feel in my fillings, a bowl of chips somebody’s been using as an ashtray, half the party piled together on a couch built for three.Somebody’s playing beer pong on the kitchen table, which is also where we eat.‘He smells like a gym sock that came to a party,’ my wolf says.I’m in no position to argue. My face is in his armpit.“Hey.”“Where were you, man? You missed Kyle and the fire extinguisher.”“I’m sure he’ll do it again.”“Yeah, you’re probably right.” Tanner lets go of my neck so he can grab my face with both hands instead.Tanner touches everybody like they’re a dog he’s really excited to meet. “You look good. You look like you were outside.”“Yeah. I literally just came through the front door. From outside.”“See? Love that for you.”

Chapter 3 – Subscribers

Cody“Hey, you,” I drawl flirtatiously at the phone. “Did you miss me?”FullMoonBandit’s voice is lower than mine and extremely sure of himself. He sounds like a late-night radio host who plays mostly smooth jazz.It works, though. They eat it up.‘Why are you talking like that?’ my wolf asks.This voice made the truck payment.‘Tell him Shania says thank you.’On the screen there’s a guy in a black mask with my mouth and my shoulders. Nothing bad has ever happened to that guy. Some nights I like him a lot better than I like me.I sit on the end of the bed with my legs spread, so the camera gets everything.The leather’s already warm on my face. I should have thought about that when I chose it. I’m too scared to switch to something more breathable now. Most people barely earn anything from OnlyFans, and I live in fear that the smallest thing could bring this whole house of cards tumbling down.Leather is sexy, I’ll just have to suffer through it. A bead of sweat crawls down underneath

Chapter 4 – Mr. Mysterious

CodyI push myself up on one elbow and put the smile back on. It’s hard to purr with a clamp hanging off your nipple, but I’m a professional.“Sweet dreams, you.”I stop the recording before FullMoonBandit can say anything else, and that’s when I notice the music downstairs has stopped. I’ve got no idea when that happened.The right clamp’s still hanging on. I squeeze it open, and blood floods back into my nipple so hard my eyes water. It hurts way more coming off than it did going on, which feels like false advertising.I switch off the bullet and peel the mask off my face. Every breath smells like weed and spilled beer but the air still feels fantastic on my sweaty skin.On the screen there’s just me now. Bed hair, flushed cheeks, a pink dent across the bridge of my nose from the leather. Nobody would pay a cent to see this guy.Three hundred people regularly see me naked with my ankles by my ears. Not one of them would recognize me in line at Tim Hortons.That’s the whole point of

Chapter 5 – Bathroom Lock

CodyOh my god. She’s threatening me.I’m about to angrily smash the block button when I realize it won’t accomplish anything useful.Blocking Sloane stops her messages, but it doesn’t send her home. She already told me what happens if I won’t talk to her.If a polite woman with a microphone knocked on Mom’s door, saying she wants to get to the truth of what happened to me, she’d gratefully make her a cup of tea and tell her my whole cover story.I built it for my mom, not for somebody who’s rabidly digging through the facts, looking for a story.My mom backed off every time I said I didn’t want to talk about it anymore. But I know it bothers her that the people responsible for my disappearance were never found.Sloane won’t care about upsetting me, she’ll keep pushing. Ignoring her won’t help.It takes me a few tries to write something that isn’t mean or begging. I really want to be mean, but alienating her right off the bat seems like a bad strategy.Please leave my mom alone. She’s

Chapter 6 – Night Call

Mato“A moose ran out in front of me,” the guy says. “I’m telling you, it came out of nowhere.”There are no moose tracks anywhere near his car. There are, however, some very clear tire tracks showing exactly where he took the corner too fast and slid into the ditch.I don’t mention it. He’s been standing out here in a hockey jacket and sneakers for over an hour, and his pride’s had a rough enough night already.He hasn’t been drinking, either, or I’d smell it. He’s just bad at corners.“It happens,” I say, and lie down in the snow to get the chain around his axle.“Is it ruined? It’s my dad’s car. He’s going to kill me.”“The bumper’s cracked. The rest of it’s fine. Tell him about the moose.”“You think he’ll believe me?”“No.”I’m reaching for the hook when Cody’s thread lights up in the back of my head.For three years he’s been a faint hum somewhere on the far side of town. I’ve never let myself focus on it. Paying that much attention to a packmate’s feelings is rude, and in my ca

Chapter 7 – Fried Potatoes

Cody“Hands,” Mato says.I hold them up over his kitchen table, palms out.They stay blessedly normal, no unwanted claws sprouting. I’ll be fine for a bit now that my wolf’s had time to run.He puts the spatula down and takes my left hand anyway.He turns it over and presses his thumb into the tip of each finger, one at a time, checking that every claw went back where it belongs. His hand’s so big that mine disappears in it, and his palm is rough and still warm from the stove.It’s the first time he’s touched me in three years. I’ve thought about his hands way too much since then, mostly in ways that would get me thrown out of his kitchen, and now one of them is holding mine like a library book he needs to check for damage.I’d let him go over the rest of me too, and he can take all morning.My heart’s thudding so hard there’s no way he can’t hear it, and my claws stay right where they are, which is all thanks to the run and none of it to me.‘He’s holding our hand,’ my wolf says. ‘Li

Chapter 8 – Pack Business

MatoCody just told me an Alpha none of us have ever met runs in his park most nights, like it’s nothing.He shrugs at me over his empty plate. “Just some guy. His name’s Rafe. He’s new to the area and he’s harmless.”His heart doesn’t jump on any of it, so as far as he knows, it’s all true.“You’ve talked to him.”“We were both naked in the parking lot at the time. It would’ve been rude not to.”I’ve got a lot of follow-up questions, and all of them would make me sound jealous.‘We should run that park tonight,’ my wolf says. ‘See how he likes some company.’We’re not doing that.What I actually need to know is who this Rafe is, where he’s staying and what he wants so close to our pack. Cody thinks he’s harmless. Cody also thought he could go three weeks without a run.“Dax needs to hear about this,” I say.Cody groans. “It’s a national park that’s open to the public. He runs in it. He’s not encroaching on Tsintah territory. That’s all there is to it, there’s no need for me to go and
