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
SARAHJayson wasn't kidding when he said Luke wasn't a happy guy in the mornings.His favorite thing to do is yell. He yells everything. He barks orders and his temper is short.He kind of scares me. I'm hesitant to spar with him because I don't want to make him mad. The unfortunate part about that is he's impatient."Come on, Sarah! Get off your fucking ass and hit me!" He's just thrown me to the ground for what feels like the hundredth time. I'm out of breath, my ribs still tender and I've had enough of his yelling."You know. I'm right here. You don't have to keep yelling at me." I pant. Holding onto my knees.He gets up in my space, real close. "I'm here at 5 in the fucking morning to train you before I've even had my fucking coffee. I will yell at you as much as I damn well please!" He glared into my eyes.I bite my bottom lip. Slightly arching back. He eyes my face up and down and turns. "Now, you going to hit me or what?""Ok." I say and I run at him. I swing a left then a righ
JAYSON After realizing that I haven't been actually out of this place for weeks, I decided it would actually be a good idea to kick back and throw back a few with friends. Just relax and have a good time. Kale and Dea were seated on either side of me with Cass and Wren across the table. "Damn! This place is crawling with some sweet things." Kale licks his lips eyeing the dance floor. Throwing that stupid smile out to any girl that looked his way. Wren raised her bottle to her lips. "God, Kale. Do you have to be such a horn dog?" Kale managed to pry his eyes from the floor to Wren. "I am what I am, babe." He raises his hands and smiles. "Gross." She takes a swig. Cass chuckles. "At least he admits it. All the rest of you are all liars." I tip my beer back. "Don't include me in this. It's been months since my last hunt." Wren leans on the table. "And why is that?" I shrug. "Just not interested. Random bar hook ups. Gets boring after a while." Kale turns to me. "Naw. You're ju
SARAHI did it. I don't know how, but I did. I made the grumpy Alpha smile. Not only that, I made him actually have fun with me.It was nice sharing that part of myself with him. I don't even share it with Ash. It's a coping mechanism my mom developed to try and stop me from causing havoc. Every day, before school, she'd turn on music and the two of us would crazily dance until we had to leave.Sharing it with Jayson felt almost natural. Like he's supposed to know my secrets. Dancing with him made me feel relaxed. We just met, yet I feel like I've known him for years. Like we could actually be friends.I've been wanting to thank him for the great time I had, but it's Thursday and I haven't seen Jayson since Saturday morning. Cass has been training us all week. I asked Cass where he was and he said Jayson had to head home for pack business for a few days. He's supposed to be back today. So, I'll probably pop into his office after practice to say hi.Cass isn't bad. Pretty fair. Definit
