Rafe             As I sat there scowling, looking straight ahead to the wall in front of me I inwardly squirmed as I could smell my mate before she opened the door and sat down beside me.  She still smelled as delicious as she had smelled last evening.  I could not help but be drawn to her – the Moon Goddess would see to it that mates would have a difficult time rejecting their mates.             Which made it so shocking to my Uncle Boyd that I had refused an Alpha female.  I had had no intention of telling him, but one of the guy’s was still going on about the look on her face when we crawled into the room early this morning.  The other guys started laughing at the reaction and then passed out on the bed.             My uncle

Kate POV             Rolling over in bed I look at the ceiling.  It was already two weeks that I had spent in my room ignoring the outside world.  My mom, my dad and Lily had been trying daily to visit me.  Aside from accepting limited amounts of food, I just could not stomach conversation.             That day two weeks ago I had visited my father in the afternoon as we had agreed.  He and my mom had both been there. They both hugged me tightly whispering words of comfort as I had felt those tears coming back.  Wiping them away I quickly moved from them not wanting to shatter any more in front of them or anyone for that matter.              My mom took my hand as we moved to sit in the two chairs Rafe and I had

Kate POV            “Katie let’s do an adult girls’ night,” Lily says.  Pausing to wonder what exactly that means Lily continues, “You know – adult refreshments at an adult party location? Maybe in town at the Club?”.             The “Club” is a hot spot for a lot of locals as well as people from neighboring towns.  Mostly people in their 20’s and 30’s frequent the club, but it’s been known to attract a diverse group of people.  They have great music, great dance floor, and cater their selection of alcohol to werewolves as well as to humans.             The humans do not know that we exist, but the Club is owned and operated by werewolves.  We can scent our own kind in any environment and it is no

Drake’s POV             After wrapping up my late meeting with Kate’s father, I happened to see Kate and her friends climbing into a car and heading into town.  I admit she intrigued me when I had bumped into her earlier coming out of her father’s office.  Her eyes were captivating, and she was downright beautiful.  I had heard she had been rejected by her mate, but I was impressed with how well she was handling things.  And, like many, shocked she had been rejected.             She came across as a confident young woman.  I had heard of Kate at various tables and had met her father a few months back at another joint meeting.  Being an Alpha was a privilege but being an Alpha without a Pack to lead, was challenging and often frustrating.  I had joined the Blue Moon Pack as a child

Drake’s POV             I had made my way home on my motorbike and arrived home shortly after three in the morning.  Blue Moon Pack was roughly an hour or so from Golden Moon Pack.  Not too far but far enough to warrant doing business with them.  I lived in the Pack house along with a lot of the single, unmated members.  My room was on the third floor – as an Alpha I had a higher standing in the Pack; however, would never be assuming the role of the Alpha for the Blue Moon Pack.            My room was spacious, with its own bathroom, sitting area, workspace, and separate bedroom.  Grabbing a quick shower, my thoughts lingered on my meetings today and the end of my evening.  Drying off, I walk naked to my bed, turning off the light as I go.I was exhausted yet meeting Kate had piqued my curiosity.&n
