Finn POV
This is it.
Owen is either my mate or Tommy’s. I wish I already knew whose mate Owen is.
I pace back and forth and hesitantly glance across the room to the couch and Tommy. As I take a moment and analyze his body language, I stop pacing and stare at him.
I want to ask him if he is all right, but I don’t have to. One look at him, and I already know the answer.
As my werewolf eyes absorb every tiny minor aspect of Tommy’s behavior, the reality of the situation slams hard into me. I take a deep breath while his fingers fidget with the hem of his shirt.
I could chalk it up to nerves, but that would be wrong.
I continue to watch quietly as Tommy bites his lower lip and fear flashes across his eyes.
Well, I’m not doing much better though, as another wave of panic coursing through my body. I wipe my sweating palms down the front of my jeans and tak
The suffering for Owen and Finn is finally over. But will Tommy be able to handle it or will this break him completely?
I don’t need to be told twice.I catapult off the couch towards my mate and pull him down the hall and into my room.Yes. It is actually happening.All my waiting is finally over. I can finally say I have my other half. I have my mate.As soon as I pull Owen into the bedroom, he shuts the door and pulls me back into his arms. He instantly takes control and captures my mouth in a passionate kiss. As soon as our lips touch, a heat pulses through my entire body and the desire to claim him consumes me.I have asked many people what to expect when I finally find my mate, and each has a similar story. However, those stories are nothing like this. Could this be because I’m so much older than everyone else?My thoughts evaporate as Owen’s large hands roam around my body. Soon, my clothes fly in every direction, and I’m standing naked in his arms. I,
What is happening? Just the other day, I was having the time of my life with Becky, and when I wasn’t with Becky, I was with Owen. But I haven’t seen my friend for a couple of days, and I’m now standing outside Alpha Dan’s office. I still have no idea why I’ve been called back to my pack. The one thing I know for sure is that this isn’t good. My gut twists while my foot frantically taps on the floor as I sit on the edge of the chair right outside the Alpha’s office. This almost feels like déjà vu. I can’t remember how many times I have sat in this exact same spot over the years. The only difference now is that my friend isn’t with me. Where is he, anyway? I have tried to mind link with him, but he has me blocked out. He has never blocked me before. Did I make him mad by starting something with Becky? My thoughts are interrupted when the office door opens, and anoth
Wyatt POV I look across my desk at my mate and my Luna. Kane and I have had so many hurdles to get past, but it isn’t anything compared to what Tommy is going through right now. I don’t know what I would have done if I had to go through anything like what the young boy is going through. Yes, I’ve had problems from time to time, but it has never been from within my pack. It has always been from someone outside the pack. Granted, losing my first mate was a tremendous blow, and I had a tough time getting through that time period, but I always had a large group of friends and family who were there supporting me. Until we found Tommy, he didn’t have anyone for most of his life. Even though he has been with our pack for several years, the scars left from his original pack and the pack’s multiple attempts at killing Tommy have left him shattered and broken. Recently, though, I could see
It has been a week and I don’t want this to end. Well, our bond won’t end, but our mating process is almost complete. I’m not kidding when I say I could spend the rest of my life lying in bed with Finn. I look at my amazing mate sleeping in my arms. How can he even be more beautiful while sleeping? I lovingly gaze at him. My eyes are instantly drawn to his pink lips, that are silently begging to be devoured. Flashes of the past week flow through my mind. I can’t keep track of how many times I have savored his luscious lips, but I have enjoyed them each and every time. Gulp. My eyes slowly slide down to his neck and land on his mark, a large wolf nuzzling a smaller wolf with the moon behind them. Perfect. A sense of pride wells up in my chest. That is my mark. He is my mate. I have finally found my other half. A smile dances across my face.&
I just couldn’t do it. I really wanted to sit next to Finn this morning, but after seeing his happy face day after day coming out of what used to be our bedroom, I couldn’t tear him away from his mate. I know it is best if I continue to spend time with him, but I also can’t even bring myself to think about hampering his joy. I have never seen him smile so much or so wide. Everyone can tell with one look he is happy. Who am I to stop it? He deserves it. I know Wyatt and Kane have talked with Owen and have told him I will share the bed with Owen and Finn. But who am I kidding? Can I really do that? They have just found each other and have mated. It would be right to get in the middle of it. Why does this have to be so hard? I sigh and look out the car’s window. My mind continues to wage a battle as I stare at the passing scenery as it zooms past. Dee shifts around in the f
I smile as I walk out of the bedroom and head down the hall with Owen. The warmth of his hand seeps into me as he gently holds my hand. At the same time, his soothing scent of cinnamon wraps around me like a warm blanket. Ah. I can do this every day. Wait. I will do this every day. Who knew that just holding hands could be so enjoyable? My thoughts are soon interrupted when Kane calls out from another room, “Come on, you two. The food is done and will be cold soon.” Food. How could I forget about eating? I softly chuckle and holler back, “We are coming. Don’t worry.” With a spring in my step, I pull Owen towards the dining room. My smile instantly vanishes as soon as I step into the room. I look around, but there isn’t anyone else here besides Wyatt, Kane and Connor, who is in the highchair. What the heck?
It is just the three of us in the living room now. My eyes drift over to Finn and Owen. Even though my friend is only a few feet away from me, it feels more like miles. I stay quiet and keep my mouth shut as Finn’s warm laughter fills the room. Every fiber of my body wants to run over and sit beside him while I tell him about everything that happened today. How I almost had an impenetrable wall of people around me all day long which gave me some peace, but not like what Finn provides to me. Or how Dee chased off some idiot who thought I looked like an easy target to pick on in the cafeteria. The corners of my mouth curl upwards as the scene replays in my head. It didn’t take long for Shane to join her and direct the jerk to go somewhere else, while I silently shake in my boots and almost piss my pants behind a large human wall. Luckily, the crowd of sworn protectors kept the idiot a safe di
“Why did he say that?” As tears roll down my face. I still can’t believe Tommy said those things to me. I can’t believe that is my friend. Something had to have happened. He would never do this on his own. Right.Owen dashes out of the bathroom towards me while I stand frozen in the middle of the room and lost in my own thoughts. He quickly engulfs me in his arms and coos, “I’m sure Tommy didn’t mean it. It will be all right, sweetie. I’m here.”Like a knife, a pain shoots right through my heart, and tears wells up in my eyes desperately trying to escape. Tommy’s cold words repeat over and over again in head. “I don’t need you anymore. I’m better off on my own, and the spare bedroom is now my bedroom.”Just hearing those words again sends a cold shiver through my body and another sharp pain jabs through my he
