Eleven: School and Threats Part 1 Dustin This last week has been a huge learning curve. This was the week that Bree and Araya started school. When my alarm went off at six in the morning on Monday, I thought it was broken. I had reached for her to pull her back into bed, but I wasn’t quick enough as I felt Mykayla get out of bed and heard the door shut. I groaned and turned back over to go back to sleep, which I was almost back to sleep when I heard a scream that made me sit straight up. I quickly climbed out of bed and grabbed a pair of sweats as I ran out of the room. I swung the door to Bree’s room open to protect her from what or whoever was in there, only to find both girls standing in front of the full-length mirror squealing in excitement at their school uniforms. Mykayla just looks at me and raises one of her eyebrows. I scrubbed my hands over my face and walked out of the room. I walked into our walk-in closet picking out a suit to wear that day at work. I head t

Thirteen: School and Threats Part 3 Dustin I wake up and roll over to pull my mate close to me, but all my hand finds is empty space and cold sheets. That wakes me up quickly causing me to sit up and can tell that she has been gone for a while. I get up and make my way to the bathroom. I look up and see something attached to the mirror. It's a note from Mykayla letting me know that she, Natalya, my mother, and the girls have gone shopping and will be back later. I smile and grab a quick shower. I make my way down to the game room and find Kaleb, Nate, Brighton, and Ashton down there. Kaleb and Ashton are playing a game of pool while Nate and Brighton are battling it out on an Xbox game. I sit down opposite Nate and watch the battle. I hear Ashton swear, which means Kaleb made a shot. He is ridiculously good at playing pool. I know it pisses Ashton off since he considers himself a master at the game. Kaleb can pull off some very amazing trick shots. “Can I get in this on

Fifteen: Stressed Dustin This week has been fucking terrible. Between work and now dealing with whoever this asshole thinks he or is following my mate, I am constantly on edge. To make matters worse, I have barely seen Mykayla, and it’s breaking my heart. Not to mention that I can feel in our bond that it is hurting her that I haven’t been around much. I have to get this shit under control. I don’t want anything to happen to her or the girls. Work has been tense, and I can feel hurt radiating from Mykayla, but we have gotten everything we need to do done. Thank god for this long weekend. I need it, and so does she. Mykayla went home early because she was not feeling well. I am just getting ready to leave when I get a text from dad asking me to stop by their house on my way home. I reply, letting him know I am just leaving work and that I will be there soon. I pull into their driveway and get out of my car. I walk up to the door, which flies open, and the bright smile of m

Seventeen: Heat Mykayla When I woke up the next morning, I was actually feeling worse. Dustin had already gone. He and the guys had some errands to do in town and were going to go to the next town over and pick up some food from everyone's favorite restaurant. My whole body ached, and I am pretty sure I had a fever. I climbed out of bed and went to take a shower. I decided on a cold shower which did help. I was still hot, but it seemed to cool me down a bit. I walked downstairs and joined everyone for breakfast. The girls asked if I was feeling well, and I said no and that I thought I had the flu. I wasn’t very hungry and just sat there and talked with everyone. I could feel the fever coming back, and I stood up to head back up to my room. When I stood up, my whole abdomen cramped up and my whole body felt like I was going to burst into flames. I have never had cramps like that before. I knew it wasn’t that time of the month, which happened last week. I bent over in pai

Nineteen: The Beta and his Goddess Kaleb I finally found my mate, and I was happy about it, but shit, she’s a fucking goddess. Not like I will treat my mate as my goddess, but like a real goddess. I leave Dustin’s office and walk back to my room. I closed and locked the door as I walked in. I really just want to be alone right now. I am not sure how to handle this. I am just a werewolf; what is that in comparison to her? I swear I can still smell her intoxicating scent of chocolate, raspberry with a hint of coconut. God, she smells amazing! Kylani, what a sexy name. She is everything I want, but she is unattainable. I grab my shirt, pulling it over my head as I lay down on my bed, throwing one of my arms over my eyes. I replay the meeting in my head. She came and sat by me during our discussion, making my heart just about burst from my chest. I even felt her hand touch mine and the spark it sent shooting up my arm. I swear, by the end of the meeting; she was sitting s
