School. My stomach twisted with nausea as I made my way down the stairs a week later. The doctor had given me the all-clear to go to school much to my disappointment. When I entered the kitchen it was to find only Keiran sitting at the table. My eyes darted around, taking in the various dishes. “I wasn’t sure what you like,” he muttered, standing.“You cooked?” I breathed, wide-eyed. He raised an eyebrow. “Yes, you didn’t think I could?”“No,” I told him honestly. “Dad couldn’t cook. It was always me or Mom that cooked for him.”Keiran pulled a chair out for me and then took a seat again. Placing a plate down in front of me, he gestured to the other plates. “Help yourself.”“Thank you.”I grabbed a slice of toast and took a small bite. I was too nervous to actually eat. But he went through all the trouble to cook and I wanted to show him that I appreciated it. “It’s important for a male to know how to take care of his mate which includes cooking.” He took a bite of bacon and slo

AXEL Hunger was gnawing at my stomach. It made it impossible for me to sleep even though my body and brain were beyond tired. I needed sleep. The fact that her scent filled nearly every room in the house was making it harder to resist. I had heard about this thing only once before and it had ended in disaster. Cora was a temptation being dangled in front of my nose and it was getting harder to resist. Giving up on trying to get some sleep, I got out of bed and entered the bathroom. My eyes locked on my reflection in the mirror, making me pause. Red was bleeding into the edges of my pupil, a sure sign of hunger. It was the reason I had been mostly avoiding my brothers and the little human. I didn’t want to scare her and I didn’t want to give them anything to worry about. They already had enough on their plate. Keiran was still trying to figure out why Cora got three mates after being rejected by that bastard and why Rowan hadn't spoken a word about Cora until Lucas showed up th

I was struggling to breathe. No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t suck enough air into my lungs.Twigs snapped under my feet and scratched my skin. There was a low growl from somewhere behind me. It was getting closer. I needed to run. Needed to get away from it. I glanced over my shoulder which was a mistake. My foot caught on something, sending me flying through the air and then hitting the ground. I cried out when I hit the ground. Rolling onto my back, I blinked up at the canopy of leaves high above me. “Run, Cora!”Mom’s voice had me rolling onto my stomach and pushing myself to my feet. My legs shook so badly that I could barely stay on my feet.“Run, baby!”Run. Run. Run. The monsters were coming. I hadn’t seen him. But Mom had. She told me to run as soon as she saw him. He hurt Dad. Tears burned my eyes. He was hurt. Hurt so badly. There was a lot of blood on the floor. Without realizing it, I had slowed down. It was a mistake. The monster snarled, and then he was

Werewolf anatomy. Female: A female’s werewolf anatomy is the same as a female’s human anatomy, BUT and I put emphasis on the but. Although they look the same, some body parts function differently. A female has the ability to control her ovaries which means that she has the ability to choose when she gets pregnant.My eyes snapped up. “Can your females really do that? Control when they get pregnant?”Keiran’s eyes flashed black for a second before it turned back to normal. “Yes,” he growled. “It’s a blessing and a curse.”I glanced over at Axel lounging on the couch with a book. He looked completely focused on what he was reading, but I knew he could probably hear us. Ryder stood by the sink, washing the dishes. I had offered to help him but he had declined my help. Keiran had then suggested that we get started with my homework. I leaned closer to Keiran. “I can’t do that,” I whispered. “I know.” Keiran smiled at me. “Which is why there won’t be any sex until you’re ready. And when

It was hard to read Axel’s expression.The guy stood next to me with a basket full of pads, and the sunglasses he wore were too dark to see his eyes.Was he embarrassed? Should I take the basket from him?I bit my lip as my eyes darted around. There were a lot of people standing in line for the pharmacy.A gasp fell from my lips when Axel wrapped an arm around my waist and suddenly jerked me against the front of his body. His head lowered until his warm breath fanned the side of my neck.“The night we found you,” he whispered. “It was raining, but there was a scent that clung to your skin. He was the one that dumped you in the woods. Do you see him?”Gripping his shirt, I glanced around. There were no familiar faces at all. I couldn’t even see Ryder.“See anyone?”I tilted my head back to look up at him. “No.”My eyes dropped to his lips which were inches from mine. Was his kiss going to feel the same as Keiran’s?His lips twitched. Leaning down, he brushed his lips softly against min
