JAYSONAfter our mate bonding experience, I led Sarah down the hill to the car. I grabbed a blanket from my trunk and wrapped her in it.I put her in the car and texted everyone to tell them I found her.She fell asleep almost instantly the whole two hours home. Keeping an eye on the highway, I would glance over at my angel. Moving her hair so I can see her face.As I looked out at the road I glanced up. Looking at the moon now past its peak. "Thank you." I whisper to it. I never believed in cosmic beings but I'm sure now, there's something out there and I thank fuck it was listening to me.As we pull into Black Lake, she stirs."Hey, kid. Have a good sleep?" I smile at her.She gets up. Her hairs a mess but I don't care. She could look like hell warmed over and I'll still love her to death. I will admit though. She needs a shower."How long was I asleep?""Two hours. Has anyone told you, you snore?" I grin.She slaps me. "I do not!""Oh yeah, you do. I almost pulled over because I th
SARAHAs soon as we got downstairs, Jayson handed me his phone. "Call your mother." He nodded.I dialed my mom. When she answered and I told her I was safe, she could barely talk.They were at the packhouse in ten minutes.Shane busted through the door. "Sarah!"I smiled. "Here." I called from the common room.H saw me and ran full tilt into me knocking us to the floor. "You never leave me again!"Jayson came out of the dining hall with a cup of coffee to see the commotion. He saw us on the floor giggling like children.Shane got up and helped me up. He wiped his eyes and tried to act all tough. "If you do that to me again, I'm going to knock you out." He shook a fist at me."Oh please." I scoffed. "I can take you out with one hand behind my back."He hugged me again."Hey, brat." Maddie was crying. "Don't scare me like that. It causes wrinkles you know."I laugh through the tears that start to fall. The three of us hug.Jayson watches us. He walks over to my parents. "Adam, Marie. Ho
JAYSONGod, I love being in love.Sarah's my everything. I feel like I can do anything. Stand up to anything. Fight anything.She gives me so much power.Seeing her stand up to River like that had me beaming with pride. My Luna doesn't take crap from anyone. Not even Alphas. Especially when her home is involved.Which us why I wish she was here right now with me while I meet with Alpha Andrews and River. Apparently, he called back up. That being the Alpha of Falcon Ridge.I'm sitting in my office with these two across from me at the conference table.Andrews has his hands folded. "Alpha Duke.""Please. Call me Jay." I smile as I lean back in my chair. I'm probably cockier than I should be right now, but I don't care."Jay." He sighs. "You know you don't have a leg to stand on here.""See. That's where you're wrong." I sit up. "Since I'm now the new Alpha in charge, I have full right to disrupt or destroy any agreements made by my father. Under the guise that his decision is not what's
SARAH"Maddie, I thought you said you were going to help me." I glare at my sister, filing her nails on my couch."Don't you have people now to move those?" She waves at the piles of boxes surrounding me.I stomp over to her. "I don't have people. I have you. Come on." I grab her hand and pull her off the couch."Sarah, I'm going to get all sweaty." She whines.My dad walks in with a box. "Maddie, help your sister." He warns.I shove a box in her hand. She rolls her eyes. "Fine." Carrying the box to Jayson's room."Whoa!" Vic almost walks into a tower of boxes."Checking in?" Nate teases."Hi, guys!" I run over and give them both a hug. "I missed you. I have so much to tell you."Vic pushes past headed for the dining hall. "I'm starving."Nate looks around at the mess I've made moving into the packhouse. "Apparently."Maddie comes down and Nate sees her. Not taking his eyes off her, he waves me down. "Later though." He walks over to Maddie. "Hi. I'm Nate. You are...." He reached out h
SARAH"Sarah! Get up!"The harsh knock on my bedroom door, pulls me out of a hot, steamy dream. I was just about to plant a big, wet one on Chris Hemsworth, when my mother's irritated voice smashes it all to hell.I roll over, groaning as my eyes blink to adjust to the light flowing into my bedroom window. I rub the sleep out of my eyes and pick up my phone to look at the time.7 am. Ugh. I throw my phone down, pull the covers over my head and try to get back to Chris' hard muscles and kissable lips.I was just about there when another knock came. "Get up, loser. We're going to miss the bus!"Argh! I throw the blankets off and spin around, planting my feet on the floor. I'm not a morning person at all.I scrub my hands on my face and stumble to the bathroom. I'm still groggy as I look in the mirror.My blue eyes are puffy. My long blonde hair a rat's nest. I look like hell, which is a perfect reflection of what waits for me today.My name is Sarah Reynolds. I live with my parents, my
JAYSONI look at my watch for like the hundredth time."The busses are late." I grumble.Cass claps my back. "Relax. It's just a few minutes."Cass is basically best friend number one. With his ripped muscles and brown hair and hazel eyes, he could get any lady he wants. But of all my friends, he's the most like me. Doesn't date, yet doesn't mind relieving himself every once in a while, with a girl. The only thing we differ in is he's waiting for his fated where I'm not even trying."I've got shit to do." I stuff my hands in the pockets of my sweat pants."We all have shit to do, buddy. Just chill." Luke shoots me a look, telling me to calm down.Luke's ok, but don't piss him off. Huge anger issues. He's not scary looking. Shorter than me by a few inches, brown hair, hazel eyes, but when he's mad, look out. He's put many in hospital just for looking at him wrong. When he's not a raging lunatic, he really is a nice guy. Huge flirt with the ladies. His tough guy act really gets them goi
SARAHRemember when Ash said these training places were filled with hot guys?Damn, she wasn't kidding. Some of the recruits are hot, but those Alpha dudes, wow.All of them have hard muscle for days. All belong in a magazine. As I walk off the bus, I scan each one head to toe.Drooling, I swear I'm drooling here. The one has this bad guy look going on. Wearing a black cut off and sweats. The ink on his arms is mega sexy. The next guy is completely hot. Big grin. Looks like lots of fun.The third guy is all Alpha. He can dominate me any night with his tribal ink, thick arms and gorgeous brown hair.Then there's, holy shit, Jayson Duke?Jayson, the son of our Alpha. Man, did he grow up. It's been a few years since I’ve seen him last and it wasn't up close.He's completely ripped. Slightly tanned, perfect skin. Perfectly cut light brown hair and blue eyes. His chiselled features make me heat up.When my eyes caught his, it was like I was trapped. Locked in his gaze. Which made my core h
JAYSONI shouldn't have touched her. I shouldn't have fucking touched her. What hell was I thinking?It was supposed to be innocent enough. Just training right. So, fucking wrong.When I touched her, this electric heat went straight through my body.Her scent of sweet flowers and honey hit me like a truck. It filled my brain. Making me light headed.I had to get away from her. I gave her back to her partner and continued my rounds.But every five minutes, I'm fucking looking at her. And what's worse is the fucking semi in my shorts. What the hell?I can't seem to focus so I pass the group to Wren and head to my office. Kale meets me in the hallway.He claps me on the shoulder. "She's in at 5am again tomorrow?"I put the key in my door and unlock it. "Yeah. Why?"He rubbed his neck. "Just asking. Wondering if you changed your mind."I shake my head. "Nope. 5 am for the whole week.""Great!" He smiles. He claps my back.I turn to him. "Kale, don't even think about it."He smirks. "Whate
