Drake POV
Looking at Louise I had to be honest and recognize there was a pull toward her. I knew it was the mate bond and I didn’t trust it. I was conflicted with the feelings I had for Kate. I knew Kate wouldn’t accept me as her chosen mate now that I had a mate. Unless I convinced Louise to reject me.
I sat and listened to Louise talking. She had a lot of questions and I guess I had to make a decision whether I would take her back to my place or leave her here for a bit longer. “Have you heard anything from Kate on the DNA test you took?” I ask her. “No, she said she hadn’t heard anything yet but that was yesterday,” she replied. “Well once you get those results, we’ll have to figure out what you are going to do,” I tell her.&nbs

Kate POV I had decided I needed to speak with Alpha Jackson, Beta Gregory, and Beta Reid. The next day we met in the conference room in the morning. Although Jackson and Gregory were retired, we still called them by their official titles out of respect. I had already told my father what we knew – that Louise was his daughter. He wasn’t hearing it and wouldn’t discuss it beyond our discussion today. I knew he needed time, but it wasn’t her fault. To punish her for something he had done many years before wasn’t right. I hadn’t processed my own feelings on having a half-sister. I didn’t even know what to call her. Calling her my sister was uncomfortable but calling her my half-sister was equally uncomfortable. I hoped we could be friends bu
Drake POV Finally, a few minutes alone with her. I move to take her hand, but she pulls it back. I have to expect that. I don’t imagine this is easy for her. “I’m shocked at Louise’s request. I felt you were more than generous with your original offer,” I say. “I thought so too, but we expected a counter, so it was fine,” Kate replies. “I need you to know I don’t know how I feel about Louise, there is something I am struggling to trust with her,” I say to Kate. She looks at me considering what I have shared with her. “I don’t know what to say, Drake. I know she’s your mate. I know what we had has to end. You seemed like you were getting along today, I think it’s important. And it’s im
Kate POV It’s been four months since Boyd, and I had our first official date. We have maintained the effort of being friends during this time. We try to connect once a week for supper or go out to the Club or whatever else friends do. I admit we’ve fallen into a comfortable existence, but nothing has progressed. We are good friends, but I don’t foresee anything coming of it. I admit I have considered him my back up plan if I don’t find my second chance mate. I’m getting tired of waiting. Some wouldn’t say it’s been long as I’m approaching my 20th birthday, but it feels like I’ve lived a couple lifetimes over the past couple years. My father finally agreed to m
Boyd POV It has been months since Kate, and I started our friendship. I regret agreeing to be pushed into the friend zone, but I figured it was the best way to gain her trust. Now she sees me more like her gay BFF (best friend forever) versus someone she would consider as her chosen mate.I had hoped by this point we would be sleeping together and out of the friend zone. I wanted her to select me as her chosen mate before the Summer Ball. That hasn’t happened and it isn’t looking promising for it to happen. Her and Lily are really bent on this Summer Ball producing their respective mates. Lily continues to fill her head with mates and second chance mates; I could do with a little less Lily in her life. All I can hope is that keeping her away from others at the Ball will help to solidify me as a choice for chosen mate.My curr
Louise POV As I ride Drake, I moan and lean down nuzzling his neck. Licking his marking spot, I feel him thrust a little harder to match my movements as he grips my hips. I know it gets him every time I touch this spot. Forgetting everything else, I quickly extend my canines and bite into him before he knows what is happening. The feeling is amazing, I am moaning grinding harder on Drake, as he flips me over driving into me over and over again. I feel my second orgasm wash over me as I continue to whimper riding toward another wave. As Drake continues to push me, I feel him leaning toward me to mark me. He hesitates and I whimper again. No, he can’t not mark me. The feeling is amazing, and I feel more connected
Kate POV Today was the day I was going dress shopping with Louise. We had shopped together a couple times but had extremely different tastes in clothing. I was more conservative in my clothing choices, preferring to tease versus outright put on display the goods. She liked revealing outfits, and I suspect her dress would follow along those lines. I was meeting her at the shop where Lily and I had bought our dresses. As we arrived at the same time, we did a side hug and walked into the store together. I showed her the dress I had picked out and then the dress Lily had picked. She kind of smirked as she started to look around. I wasn’t surprised with her response. As we moved around, I pointed out a couple that I
Boyd It’s been more than a week and I haven’t heard from Kate. Nor have I heard from Louise. Louise did something to screw up things for me with Kate. The Summer Ball was just a couple days away. I needed to get to Kate one way or the other or my plans would be ruined. I didn’t put in all this time to not gain any rewards. By this point I had expected to be sleeping with Kate and on my way to marking her. Picking up my cell phone, I text Louise to call me now or else. I sit back and wait for a message back from her. I had tried this tactic before but of course she had continued to ignore me. I had as much to lose as she did if I spilled her secrets. However, I was at the point of not caring.&nb
Kate POV I had heard from Louise again and she caught me off guard asking about my date for the Summer Ball. I told her again I was going alone and was looking forward to it. End of story. She wasn’t impressed and even went so far as to suggest Boyd would be a nice backup for me that evening, in the event my mate isn’t there. I knew my odds of finding my second chance mate were limited. I had met a lot of the Packs who were coming, but there were still some new ones or old Packs with new Alphas leading the Packs. Regardless I was open to whatever the Moon Goddess deemed fair for me. That had to be on the backburner though. Our rogue situation had increased slightly, and we were focused heavily on getting it unde
