VIENNAThe outside of Nessa’s house looks like it’s straight out a brochure for an idyllic suburban community, complete with an actual white picket fence. It’s the kind of place that you can tell is warm and inviting from a single glance, the perfect home for a big, loud, loving family like hers to reside. It’s one of my favorite places, because when I’m here, I feel like I’m part of it all- just another member of her big, happy family.Nessa’s pulling open the front door before I’ve even made it up the sidewalk from the driveway, her wide, sympathetic eyes meeting mine.“It’s only for a few days,” I mutter, wrapping my fingers around the strap of my duffel bag and adjusting it on my shoulder. “Just until I can figure things out.”“Stop it. You know you can stay as long as you want to,” she says, ushering me inside.As always, the interior of the house is full of commotion- two of Nessa’s brothers are chasing each other around the living room with foam swords, while the other two play

CHASE So many things about Vienna Vega frustrate the hell out of me. The way she rolls her eyes whenever she sees me, like my presence has just ruined her fucking day. That little hair toss she does when she folds her arms across her chest in indignation. Her constant smartass responses to whatever I say, like she’s figured out exactly how to push my buttons. That ever-present flicker of defiance whenever I get close. But the worst, by far, is that despite all of that, I can’t stop thinking about her. It’s beginning to border on obsession. I keep thinking of those lips, so full and soft, and how perfect they’d look wrapped around my cock. How those big brown eyes would probably swim with flecks of bronze while she looks up at me, eyes glassy as I bump the back of her throat. I could twist that long black hair into a rope, wind it around my hand and pull. And those tits… I haven’t seen them bare yet, but the dress she was wearing Saturday night gave me a damn good mental image of wh

VIENNAChase blinks down at me, still out of his mind but slowly coming back into it. His knuckles are ripped open and dripping blood, and between the splatters of blood covering his face and the feral look in his eyes, he looks like a savage beast of a man, the mere sight of him enough to scare anyone off.I’m not just anyone, though.“What the fuck?!” I repeat, adrenaline pumping and heart pounding as I throw my hands up. “Are you crazy? That guy was human, he…”“Had his fucking hands on you,” Chase snarls, cutting me off. His eyes are glowing gold, his wolf dangerously close to the surface.“I had it handled! I can take care of myself, Chase, and you know the rules at the lodge. The last thing we need is to draw attention to ourselves. If I lose my fucking job over this, I swear to god…”His fists clench, a splatter of blood landing on the tile wall as he points wildly toward the door. “What the fuck did you expect me to do?! You screamed, and I…”“Nothing!” I shout back as I watch

CHASEI groan as the insistent vibration of my phone against the surface of my nightstand rouses me from sleep, rolling over and flinging out a hand to grab for it. Still half-asleep, my clumsy fingers knick the edge, sending it sailing off the nightstand and clattering loudly to the hardwood floor. Damn it.Squinting my eyes open against the harsh assault of sunlight peeking through the curtains, I immediately recognize that it’s way too fucking early for me to be awake. Who the fuck would be calling me this early in the morning? My curiosity doesn’t go far, because I just squeeze my eyes shut again, not making a move to retrieve my phone from the floor. Whoever it is can fuck off until I’m ready to wake up.Drowsy thoughts wander into my mind as I throw an arm over my face to shield it from the light, registering the faint scent of raspberries and rosewater that lingers on my skin.Vienna Vega.So much for fucking her out of my system. Instead, I fucked her deeper into it, her lust-

VIENNAI’m buzzing with nervous energy as I pull open the drawer of Nessa’s dresser- the second drawer down, the one she cleared out for me to keep my things. I didn’t come with much, so it all fits neatly inside, but every time I open this drawer, the white rectangular box sitting inside taunts me. It’s the phone Chase bought; the one that was left carelessly on the counter of the bar the day he jumped that customer at the lodge for touching me. I took it home with every intention of returning it to him, but he hasn’t been at the lodge in a few days and I haven’t had a good excuse to run into him anywhere else. Until today.Today’s the first Thursday of the month, and since I’m still a member of the reserve squad, I need to report to the complex for our monthly brush-up on skills training. While Chase doesn’t devote much of his time to the squad, he’s still technically a squad leader- the other alphas brought him on board shortly before the war with the shadow pack. So, there’s a goo

CHASE “So I see you decided to keep the phone,” I grumble as I slide onto a stool at the lodge bar. Vienna’s eyes flicker up to meet mine, a spark of chaotic energy passing between us as soon as they connect. Her pouty pink lips tip into a feisty little smirk as she tosses her hair back and throws a hand on her hip. “Got my message, huh?” “Loud and clear.” I don’t tell her how I damn near dropped and cracked my own phone when it came through yesterday, opening it up to see those big brown eyes staring back at me, brimming with mischief and mayhem. The middle finger she was holding up may have been saying ‘fuck off’, but between the deviant expression on her face and the tantalizing peek at her cleavage spilling out of her white sports bra, it obviously failed to land. That selfie was sexy as fuck. She should’ve known that it wouldn’t push me away, but draw me in. Maybe that’s what she wants. “Why are you here, then?” Vienna asks, tone laced with annoyance as she arches a dark br

VIENNANessa laces her fingers through mine, tugging me through the packhouse as the loud thump of music bleeds into my ears. I’m not sure if it was a good idea for me to come here tonight, but my new roommate insisted on it, citing her belief that I need to get out and blow off some steam after everything I’ve been through lately. It has been almost a week since I packed a bag and went to stay with Nessa, and my mom hasn’t even so much as called me to check in. She probably hasn’t even noticed. It’s so fucking depressing that I keep trying not to think about it, but I know Nessa can tell it’s been weighing me down. Can’t get anything past her.As we step past the staircase, I can’t help but remember the last time we attended a party here, when I watched Stasia drag Chase by the hand up those stairs. I’ve been up there myself, in Chase’s bedroom. I wonder how many other girls here tonight have. A heavy weight settles in the pit of my stomach at that thought.Nessa tugs on my hand as w

CHASE“Where do you think you’re going?” I growl as I feel Vienna’s fingers on my forearm, working to free herself from my tight grip around her waist. Her body momentarily tenses against mine at the realization that I’m awake, lying behind her with my chest pressed tightly to her back. Then she goes right back to trying to squirm out of my hold, her naked body rubbing against me and giving my dick all sorts of ideas. “Let me go,” she huffs, fingernails digging crescents into my forearm.I tighten my grip around her in response, my cock growing harder against her ass. “Nah, I don’t think I’m done with you yet,” I chuckle into her soft hair as she continues her futile struggle.“Fuck you,” she hisses.I buck my hips, poking her ass cheek with my morning wood. “Now we’re talkin’.”Vienna lets out a frustrated groan, her body going slack in my arms as she relents. She just lies there for a moment, panting, no doubt trying to figure out another way out of her current predicament. I, on
