Perrin
“What are you doing here?”
Kira was crunching on an apple in the reception area. I had checked quickly on Jack and Gowan; Gowan was sleeping. Jack was being treated, so I had no luck. And Thomas had departed the day before, returning to his own pack now that his lung had healed.
“I thought I’d see Jack,” she said, chewing around a large bite of her apple. Pieces fell out and juice dribbled over her chin.
“Need a napkin?”
She wiped her face with the back of her hand and took another bite. “How’d your appointment go with You-Know-Who?”
“She has a name

LoDo you even wear lingerie for a date like this? Gia’s voice lectured me uncomfortably clear in my mind. Of course you do!Thank the Goddess I hadn’t told her about it. She wouldn’t have let me hear the end of it. And no doubt would want a full recap after I was done. And that was something I most certainly was not going to entertain.Perrin and I both knew what tonight would be about. I missed him, more than he knew.I was grateful for the last week; not for the physical separation, of course. But for the fact

PerrinFor the first time in over a week I wake without morning wood.I smile, reliving the finer points of the night before. There’s no morning boner, but I’m still sore as fuck. I roll over, aware that my cock feels as sore as it did from the three hours of goodbye sex we had in person before she left. But I can feel myself grinning like an idiot. Last night was better than I could have ever hoped. And to think I was ever nervous…I laugh to myself as I glance over at the clock, grabbing my phone and turning off my alarm that will be going off in just a minute.I groan, rolling out of bed and heading to the bathroom. I take a quick shower, having been too tired last night to properly clean myself up and make a mental note to burn the sheets. I came so many times I couldn&

KiraCoffee.I’ve been up since just after 5am. I went for another hard run, even after yesterday afternoon’s half marathon. I’m sore, and my head slightly hurts. But with tired muscles, I fall asleep at night without the itch. Running keeps my mind at ease and the booze at bay. And it seems to be working, despite the three pairs of sneakers I’ve already worn out.Coffee has become my new vice. It’s a cycle. Run. Coffee. Collapse from my exertions. Repeat. I seek it out eagerly, and Dina even got a new coffee bar in the kitchen downstairs to indulge me. It seems she was as happy for the new apparatus as I was. She and I have had a blast adding speciality milks, flavors, and Goddess knows what to our early morning concoctions. I swear that woman doesn’t need caffeine, but here we are.

Kira“Hello, Ben.” I shook his hand, avoiding his eyes. His skin was warm, and I withdrew my hand quickly, wiping my now clammy palm on my jeans.Perrin looked between us, smiling as if nothing had happened. Which, I guess according to him, was perfectly true.“You are the Beta Select, correct?” Ben’s voice was bright and anxious, still grateful that I was playing along.“Yup.” I turned to Perrin, anxious myself to remove myself from this entire situation. “So, what are we looking for again?”Perrin’s face grew suddenly darker in alarm, his eyes shifting briefly to Ben and then back again. &

PerrinBy the time Marge and I cleared a quarter of the library, it was time to get to Gowan’s training session.I called for Kira, who reappeared only too quickly from somewhere on the far side of the history section. She looked equally displeased and disheveled.“You ok?”“No.”“Can I help?”“Are you alcohol?”I stopped, catching her arm. “Are you serious?”She yanked her arm from my reach and scowls. “Yes. But don’t worry, I’m headed straight to the pack house to meet Mark.”

Perrin“I’ll be fine, thanks though.”“You sure?”“Yea, probably just dehydrated,” I lied.Seth dropped me off at the steps of the pack house. I hated when he Mother-henned me. It was enough to have vomited out the side of his car on the way back; I didn’t need more pestering.Besides, I was feeling better now that my vision had cleared, though a cold prickle on the back of my neck remained. I wasn’t feeling totally myself, and despite what I had told Seth, the uncomfortable feeling of memory brought me back to the temple that night.I closed my eyes, taking a seat towards the front doors of the pack house lobby, trying to force myself t

Alpha JasonThe knock at the door was soft.“Come in.”I glanced up as my wife slid silently into my office, shutting the door quietly behind her. “It’s nearly dinner,” she said.I glanced at my watch. I had been preparing next week’s training topics for Perrin all afternoon. The training list was long; history of past treaties, personnel profiles on everyone in the Alpha Guard that weren’t retiring; political tactics and negotiations, geography and pack histories of our neighbors; the economics of running a pack; and importantly, our human liaisons in the nearby pure-human cities that knew about us and kept our secret. That last one was complicated, messy, and of utmost importance.I knew we had years to

Alpha JasonTwelve Years Ago“How is she?” Kyle’s anxious face didn’t give me the comfort I had hoped. I was alone in a private waiting room. I couldn’t even look at him, my face in my hands.“Where’s Perrin?” He asked instead.“With your wife.”“Oh.” Kyle slumped next to me. He smelled of sweat and the woods. I wasn’t sure how deep he had been on patrol when I called him back. But I was grateful he was here.“What happened?” He asked. He knew it was serious, but I couldn’t tell him anything on the phone at the time because I hadn’t known anything.
