"Thorne, you fine as hell," Ellis said, leaning back on the worn leather couch. He popped another piece of moonroot gum into his mouth. "But you could show a bit more skin with a body like that. You a plain wolf for real, always covered the fuck up. And that thick-ass mane? Always tied back— Do somethin' with it."My fingers flew to my hair, tugging at the leather band holding it. "I ain't tryna impress nobody," I snapped, though my voice cracked. "I don't need to walk around with my chest half out like you, Ellis."Ellis smirked, unbothered. "Oh, you got jokes, wolf?" he fired back, his grin widening. "Hell, give me some of that muscle and that face.""You can have it— ALL!" I teased."I do think it's time for you to lose that moon-virgin status, though. You're eighteen, you've waited long enough."I chuckled, but my laughter felt hollow. My mind drifting to thoughts of Boyd. The idea of giving myself to him twisted in my chest. "I ain't just fucking to say I lost my moon-virginity,"

Thorne Matthews"Why are you smelling like fried pig fat when you should be getting your wolf ready for the Moonfang Harvest House shift?" Ellis Johnson shifts the gears of his beat-up mechanical carriage, the metal rattling hard as we roll through the lower territory.I lean my large head back against the seat, sighing deeply. "Sokka and Randall Kirkland were snarling at the breakfast table when I walked in. Randall was complaining about the burnt meat. You know Sokka cannot cook anything right unless it is boiled wild grass."Ellis lets out a massive bark of laughter, nearly running us into a ditch. "Burnt meat? That is what started the growling? Randall better watch his throat, because Sokka will rip his fur out if he pushes too far.""Oh, Sokka was ready to bite," I say, a small smirk moving my lips. "Told him if he did not like it, he could take his sorry rogue ass off our pack land. Randall told him he ought to hold him down and force him to eat it. Then Sokka told him he would

The cool forest air hits me immediately, a welcome change from the heavy, suffocating tension inside the building. I pull a smoke from the pack and light it, taking a long drag and letting the grey cloud curl from my lips. Smoking these herbs isn't something I do all the time, but when my nerves get the better of my wolf, it is my absolute go-to habit.I am halfway through it when the sharp sound of the heavy back door creaking open makes my entire spine stiffen. I glance over my shoulder and see Ellis Boyd stepping out into the alley. My heart does that stupid fluttery thing again, and I curse my inner wolf for being so weak."Damn, Thorne, you are still using those nasty things?" he asks, shaking his head as he leans his long, powerful frame against the brick wall right next to me.I shrug, flicking the ash down onto the dirt. "It is better than losing my mind inside that kitchen."Ellis Boyd laughs softly, his voice low, warm, and deep. "You need to start shifting more and put thos

Thorne Matthews"Then act like it, Kenny Liu. My wolf cannot keep doing this," Ellis Johnson says, his voice breaking as his defenses start to crumble completely."I am trying to do better for our pack bond," Kenny Liu replies, his dark eyes locking hard onto his. "You just have to be patient with my wolf."Before Tan can answer, the heavy iron bell over the feast hall door jingles loud again. Nathan Johnson, Kenny’s cousin, strolls right into the room, his booming voice cutting through the thick tension. "Yo, Kenny! What is good, my brother?"Kenny turns his head fast, his strong jaw clenching tight. "Not now, Nathan."Nathan smirks, sauntering over to our wooden booth with an arrogant swagger. "Oh, my bad. I did not realize I was interrupting pack business." He looks down at Ellis Johnson, his smirk widening. "Wassup, Tan? Your wolf is still dealing with this clown?""Boy, nobody in this territory wants to hear from you," Tan shoots back, rolling his eyes hard."Damn, that is how yo

Thorne Matthews"My wolf is completely straight," Ellis Johnson tells the large male, his voice dropping softer than usual.The incredible warmth from our intense mating session last night under the moon still lingers heavy in his scent, and for once, Tan does not want to ruin this good moment by being difficult with his partner.Kenny Liu leans his muscular upper body across the leather seat, cupping Tan's chin with his rough, calloused fingers. His lips brush hard against Tan's mouth—slow, deep, and deliberate, like his inner wolf is savoring every single drop of his sweetness. Ellis Johnson lets his whole body melt completely into the hold, his thick fingers lightly gripping the front of Kenny's heavy fur jacket.Just as their lips pull apart, a familiar, stocky male wolf strolls right up to the driver’s side window of the high hunting wagon.Kenny sighs loud, his inner wolf already knowing exactly who it is before he even looks over. With a quick press of the console rune, the hea
