Fuck. I’m going to get whiplash with this girl. I get it. But I can’t get mad at her. A lot just happened, and she has to come to terms with some life-changing truths. And the mate bond is strong, but when it competes with a strong will, which explains her bipolar behavior and leaving me with blue balls. I laughed, raking my hands through my hair as she left my cabin. “I didn’t even get to tell her I’m Kinsley,” I chuckled. “I wonder how she’s going to take that tidbit when I tell her,” I sighed. “Fuck it. It can wait. Let Aurelia think what she likes for now,” I shrugged, getting up and heading to my room. Her scent felt like it was everywhere, and I was torn on loving it and wanting to air the whole cabin out.  I managed to get some sleep before I heard a heavy knock on my cabin door. I grumbled and made my way down the stairs. Pulling open my front door, I looked at two state troopers. One human and the other a member of my pack, I don’t remember thei

It was with great difficulty that I didn't watch my mate walk away. And damn, did I want to. She's got a great ass. But it would only cause her trouble and me a headache with Rowan standing here glaring at me. He's mad I was even talking to campers. And since I'm pretty sure he's the one allowing these poachers onto my land, he probably doesn't like me telling legends about avenging spirits.  "James…" he growls. I stop myself from rolling my eyes. Humans trying to growl and sound intimidating is just laughable. "What?" I asked, folding my arms as I leaned against the truck. "Stop telling campers nonsense. I don't want them getting scared by your tall tales,” he ordered. "As opposed to your son and other counselors making them think there's a killer in the forest? At least mine is a true legend of this land and puts them at ease since the wolf spirit only comes after those that harm nature and animals. It seems to me only the poachers and anyone helping t

“I can smell your arousal. So I know exactly what the thought of me marking you as mine does to you,” I teased. “Logan…" Aurelia sighed. “Fine. I’ll stop teasing. Part of completing the mate bond won’t just mean me marking you. You would have to mark me as well. Making it clear to all other females, I am yours,” I smiled. She tried to hide it, but I saw her lips twitch, wanting to smile, and the scent of her arousal became stronger. She likes the idea of marking me, of making everyone know I’m hers.  “After all that happens, our scents would mingle and become a new scent. This tells people or rather other werewolves that we are together even before they could see the mark. It would also create a link between us. This link has its upsides and downsides,” I explained. One delicate red brow arches in question. “And those would be?" she asked. “Well, the upside is it means we could communicate telepathically. It also means that we’d know what the oth

I sighed as I looked and saw her chewing her bottom lip. I haven't marked her, so I can't feel her emotions, but she doesn't have much of a poker face. I shouldn't have told her so much. I can only imagine how I'd feel if she had someone before me she loved. "Aurelia…" I sighed, caressing her cheek. "That was the past,” I tried to assure her. She sighed, nodding a little. "I know. But you loved her. You even adopted her daughter,” she sighed, leaning back running her hand through her thick, fiery locks. "Yes, well. I won't lie and say I didn't love Suzu. I did. She wasn't my mate, and after I explained to her what I was, she always knew that I'd find my mate one day. Granted, I would always argue with her that it wouldn't happen. After all, it hadn't for years,” I shrugged.  "I brought her and Hana home to live with me amongst my pack,” I sighed. "No one was happy about it,” I frowned. "Why not? I mean, shouldn't they want their leader to be happ

This girl was going to be the death of me. I have to abstain from sex for God knows how long till she’s ready. And I can’t even go fuck someone else and get it out of my system. Now that we’ve found Aurelia, Jericho would do something to stop me. Hell, for all I know, my dick wouldn’t even get up for someone else. Cheating on a mate isn’t normal. The only people who do it don’t deserve a mate, to begin with. Even worse to cheat on a mate after you’ve completed the bond because then they feel it. They feel the pain of your betrayal.  And while I have slept with my share of women, after Suzu. None of them meant anything to me. They were just ways of me trying to drown my sorrow. It never lasted. It never filled the gaping wound that her death left in my heart. Since I first caught Aurelia’s scent, it feels like that wound is starting to heal. So I have to do everything I can to make her feel comfortable with me. She was raised human, so I n
