Mitch sighed. The expression in their eyes returned to normal as he enveloped me in a bone-crushing hug. “We are sorry, darling. It's just that each time with you brings out our possessive instinct. We want to be the only ones in your world. The only men you look out for. We apologize if you don't like it.” Smiling, he looked down at me as his fingers weaved through my hair. “It's okay.” I returned the smile, knowing there was no reason to think of the past, not when I had them with me. It made little sense to dwell on things that had already happened. After all, they weren't with me back then. They wouldn't have done it if we had been together back then —not like Father would approve. We sat back in our chairs before the server returned to receive our orders. I let my companions order for me.We ate in silence after that, my mates occasionally looking towards me. It was as if they didn't want to take their eyes off me, to make certain I wouldn't turn into smoke and disappear. “Whe

Helen continued coming to the house each day. It got to the point that I almost wanted to tell my mates about it, but kept to myself. I needed to be the one to sort things out, to get rid of the pest, so I could have a moment of peace with myself. I had been diligently working on my project, helping my companions with theirs, and also acting as their secretary. It was taking a toll on me, and I intended to take a week's holiday. I craved to give myself the baby treatment, go over to the human world and stay for the week without my mates because they were part of what was stressing me. Yawning, I completed the last email, sending it to the companies they asked me to do so before I rose to have a break. I confided the idea of my fashion line to my mates, and they were supportive of it. They wanted to sponsor everything, but I refused. I still had enough money in my account and one in my trust fund. Even after his death, my father was still looking after me. This time, when the bell

SUMMER A week passed after that, and I was occupied with work. I had to visit different fashion companies to learn tricks on how to start mine. I took a class online — not kidding there, baby. I was so busy I hardly had time for my mates, who kept complaining about the amount of time I spent in the human city. They knew I had some work to do, so they never pursued the matter deeper, just scraped around the surface and pouted like kids to show me their dissatisfaction.I have also released job vacancy posts and have so far received more than my fair share of applications. It came as a shock because I wasn't expecting it, not that much. Well, I guess humans could never be the same as werewolves, who always have a position waiting for them after they graduate. There was no one in the pack who didn't have a job. They were either working in production companies, bakeries, the mall, corporate offices, you name it. Funny enough, they have law enforcers, not like they did much. The pack h

HELENI inhaled, sighing at the sweet smell of summer. Fall was close, I could feel it, and that sent tingles through my body. Things were finally getting into place. A smile crept over my face as I gazed at the sleeping woman. “It's a pity I have to do this.” I sighed, running my fingers over her smooth face. I would have sunk my claws into it and watched with satisfaction as the blood gushed, but I withheld the urge. I needed to make everything look real and perfect. Giving her a mark would cause her mates to suspect she was forced, and that wasn't something I was looking forward to. I picked her up from the couch and carried her to their shared room. I would have taken her to hers, but wanted to rub this in the faces of their mates. Knowing who they were, cheating on them, wouldn't hurt as much as seeing her with another man in their bed. I placed her on the bed, frowning when she tried to push me away. The drug I used on her was a heavy one, so I wasn't scared of waking her up

MITCHWe rushed home like possessed men, our hearts beating from both fear and the race we had down to our car. Instead of taking the elevator like we always did, Mike said it would delay us, so we ended up running down the stairs at the speed of lighting. Miles drove, and Mike sat next to him in the passenger's position. I was the only one sitting at the back, our thoughts all on our mate. The moment he drove into our compound and killed the engine, we jumped out of the car and raced for the door. “My Alphas!” Helen met us by the door. She was standing by the side of the house, but we failed to see her because our focus was on the door and nothing else.“Get out!” We growled at her, stepping to the door. I unlocked it with my thumb, frowning when I noticed the imprint of a hand on the handle. That wasn't caused by us, so there was no freaking way it could be there if someone weren't in the building. With our hearts thumping at that revelation, we stepped into the house, banging th
