MARIE Azar had led us to the greenhouse, but he wouldn’t have needed to, Mylo was locked into where he was going like a scent dog on a mission. He’s always been determined in general but trying to find his mate, for months, has even him reaching new levels of relentlessness. Watching Mato and now Mylo is why I’ll avoid having a mate at all costs. They don’t know how to give people space, to allow people to develop their own feelings and their own need for each other. Their mates don’t know them from a frog in the forest, it’s not like they grew up in the same packs, hell both these girls haven’t even grown up in packs, and my brothers are just inserting themselves into their lives, essentially forcing a relationship where there is none.  I wasn’t much for television, but something could be said for human relationsh

 MYLOThe house was just how Marie described it sitting within the trees, practically squished by them, with a thick layer of frost hanging onto the branches. I never would have found this on my own, I owed Marie a lot, and even more since we’ve arrived. She’s somehow helped bridge things between Dahlia and me, even now as she’s dropping the baby in my arms. We were too wrapped up in our mate's presence that there wasn't time yet to process how I felt about the fact that there was now a baby involved, let alone time for me to gauge how Kai was reacting. As Marie lowered her into my arms I was skeptical of how a baby that’s not ours was going to go over with him, but she seemed solid in her assumption that holding her would settle out Kai, and she was correct.I could feel the effects of Kai's relaxation ripple through me as th

 MATOThe plans were made, we just didn’t have a date. Jazmin knew she’d never have much notice, but she was truly as sweet as she smelt, regardless of how her mouth makes her sound. It didn’t surprise me when it was Miah who called me, that girl was the true center of anything gossip-worthy and somehow always had news before everyone else. Marek had called me five minutes later, swearing before he hung up the phone after I told him I was already packing up.With Marek and Mazin's help, there was a house already set up for us with most of our important things already moved in. Jazmin's mother, Sophie, would have a spot at the care home less than two blocks away from us. That would be the hardest adjustment on Jazmin, but her mom's Alzheimers required someone who could care for her full time. 

  DAHLIA I had no clue what to expect once we got back to Timber, but I was happy when he left us here alone for a while, regardless of Orla trying to seduce him into staying. She barely got out a whimper, but that was enough to make him rip himself from our presence, and had I not had a better handle on her, she was sure to push him and his wolf over the edge.  'Go find our mate,' Orla whined, keeping me up as I tossed and turned even though Nora was sleeping better than she had in a long time. 'What don't you understand?' I hissed back at my wolf who was clearly not thinking straight, ‘What about Nora? You want a life with your mate, well I’m willing to give that up for her.’

  MYLO I still couldn't believe Dahlia was actually here. Being away from her was painful, but walking into the house and being surrounded by her scent was instantly calming. She was in the bedroom fixing Nora up for the day, unaware of just how beautiful she was as she pushed her hair behind her ear so it wouldn't get in her way.  "Would you like to get out of the house for a bit?" I asked, setting some piece of cloth she asked for on the bed as she was changing Nora.  "Doing what?" She skillfully wrapped the cloth around her and Nora, effectively holding Nora to her chest without the use of her hands.  "A walk," I locked into her eyes that seemed more blue than green today and she nodded.  We travelled down
