TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THIS CHAPTER Juniper Summer was always my favorite season. Some people complained summer is too hot, or too humid, but I loved the feel of the sun shining down on me, loved being able to spend my entire day hanging out in and around the stream, and loved having an ice-cold lemonade at the hottest part of the day. While it was technically not summer yet — the solstice was still several weeks away — the temperature was hot enough for me to claim it was summer. Which was why I was doing exactly what I loved to do most during the summer; sitting by the stream with my sketchbook and colored pencils, a glass jar of homemade lemonade by my side, my toes dipping in and out of the water as I sketched, my hair pulled back in a loose braid at the back of my head, several loose strands hanging in front of my ears. Drew was nearby in the woods somewhere. He’d been much more temperamental since the night he’d ended things with Everly, choosing to spend most o

Lukas The clock ticking on the wall of Alpha Phil’s office was the only sound in the office, apart from the occasional very loud, very exaggerated sighs coming from Finn. I stole a side glance at him and had to stifle a laugh. He was sitting in his chair, his chin against his clenched fist and his elbow resting on the arm of the chair, his other hand gripping onto the other arm of the chair so tightly I was surprised it was still intact. His jaw tightened, a muscle twitching in it every so often. In fact, his entire body was completely tense, and his leg was bouncing up and down anxiously at a speed that I didn’t think was physically possible. His currently unbuttoned, sharply tailored navy blue suit emphasized his entire demeanor. “She’s late,” he grunted. He ran his hands through his hair, roughing it up and then smoothing it back down before resuming his previous position. “She’s been gone for like 10 minutes. 15 tops,” I replied, letting my withheld chuckle out, earning me a

Drew June had been hiding in her room for three days. Three whole days, only coming out to grab a snack or a drink, and then darting back into her room as quickly as she had left, never uttering a word. I had been stuck on the couch for those two days, afraid to move, or look away from her bedroom door, or even breathe. When we had returned from the stream that day, Luna and Everly and Sofia were already waiting for us on the little porch of our cottage. I’m guessing Alpha must have linked Luna Claire to let her know what happened, and she had brought the other two with her to help with June. But June just walked right by them without a word, going straight into her room and starting the shower. The three females then took over our kitchen, making some sort of casserole dish and a bunch of baked goods, while I parked myself on the couch, my hands dangling between my knees and my head hanging down and staring at the floor. June only came out once that night to ask Everly if she h

Everly I was completely dreading going downstairs. I had absolutely no desire to attend my birthday party. I missed the years when we were younger, and my mom would throw Luke and me a combined birthday party since our birthdays were only a week apart. But Luke was still gone, and as the daughter of the Alpha, I had to keep up appearances and have an actual full pack party for my 19th birthday. I had to see if I would find my mate. It was interesting how the four of us all ended up growing from close friends to wanting to be with one another — Luke and June, and Drew and me. I sometimes wondered if we were all just feeling the mate bond early, because we had all known each other since we were very young, and spent so much time together growing up.I couldn’t help but hope that Drew would be mine. That was why I didn’t want a party. I just wanted to find him privately after midnight and see if we were on our own. But, again, I had to keep up appearances. I had to be the pack princes

Drew The sounds of the party at the packhouse faded behind me as my steps took me further into the forest and away from the celebration. The closer it got to midnight, the more I felt the need to be somewhere else, to be anywhere other than in the crowd of waiting, unmated males. I hadn’t even waited to see Everly come out of the house. I wanted to leave before I saw her, because I knew I would change my mind once I had. Logically, I knew this was the ending we had been hurtling towards since the first time we kissed, but emotionally, I was still not prepared to see her claimed by her mate, to find out that what happened with June and Luke was repeating itself with us. Call me a coward, a wimp, a pussy; I would be the first to admit that I was all of those things. The previous week was already painful enough, rejecting her and pushing her away when she asked for just one night with me, but I knew it was the right call. I knew that if she found her mate on her birthday, he would kn

Drew “Baby girl,” I began as I stood at the edge of the bed, my hands sliding up her thighs under the skirt of her dress. “If you don’t want me to rip this dress to shreds, I suggest you remove it quickly.” As my hands reached the top of her legs, I moved my palms around to cup her ass, and I realized she wasn’t wearing anything underneath her dress. “Fuck, Everly, what are you doing to me?” I groaned, massaging her cheeks roughly. “Get naked. Now,” I growled, stepping away from her so I could do the same. Our eyes remained locked on each other as her hands undid the ribbon around her waist, and, using a small amount of magic from my witch half, I helped her by sliding the zipper down her back without moving from my spot. She gave me a grateful little smile, and reached up to the neckline of her dress, slowly sliding it off of her shoulders inch by inch, teasing me by making me wait. I pulled my black t-shirt over my head as fast as I could, not wanting to miss even one second of

Chloe This was it. It was finally here. The day of our mating ceremony. The day Tidirath would officially recognize me as Finn’s mate and as a Princess of the Kingdom. I spent the entire week prior going to teas and luncheons and fancy dinners and dancing lessons and etiquette lessons. I felt like my feet were going to fall off and my brain was going to explode out through my ears from the information overload. There were so many rules and customs to learn, and I wasn’t sure how I would ever remember all of them. I understood why Finn had left his home. The strict policies and the intense formal atmosphere were not his style at all. I was glad that we were just here for a short while, and he didn’t want to remain here after our ceremony or even come back here to raise our children when we had them. The last two days, they had completely sequestered me in my room, as was the custom here. Finn and I could not lay eyes on each other until the mating ceremony. Not that it stopped us.
A Prophecy of Crowns and Harmony Chapter 34
Finn I was pacing back and forth at the front of the Temple of Eos in the royal palace, one hand on my hip and the other stroking my chin. I did not know why I was so nervous. She had already accepted me, already mated with me, and already bore my first mark and I bore hers, but, for whatever reason, I was a bag of anxiety. My mom sat with my dad and my brothers, so I knew Chloe wasn’t far behind. I stopped in the spot where I was supposed to stand while Chloe entered, and I fidgeted with the bow tie around my neck. Lukas stepped in front of me and swatted my hands away, fixing the tie for me. “Relax, Beta,” he smiled. “She’s already had plenty of opportunities to run and she hasn’t yet. I think you’re safe,” he winked. “Shut up, fucker,” I growled, and he just laughed, clapping me on the shoulder and standing off to the left of me. Normally, it would be one of my brothers or my dad standing with me, but there truly was no one I would have wanted other than Lukas to be our primar
