I woke early the next morning. I wasn't in a rush, so I took my time getting ready. I dressed and pulled my hair up into a ponytail. My beast was giddy for excitement. She couldn't wait to get back into our normal routine again.Most days, we hated the routines, but this particular day, we were especially excited to be getting back into it.I met Lila and Brayleigh outside. I grinned at Brayleigh and hugged her tightly as I bounded down the steps. We rubbed cheeks and I giggled happily. I had missed the female. She was a big part of my life now. I knew that."I missed you. It was boring without you around," Brayleigh told me. I exchanged glances with Lila, who's eyes widened as she laughs."Our time away with quite eventful. I wish I could say it was boring," Lila said with a chuckle. I nodded in agreement and stretched my arms. We were a little early this morning, despite the fact that I took my time."Yeah, Kade filled me in. I'm sorry about what happened in Terialta," Brayleigh tol

I trotted into my room and frowned at the bear skin rug that was on the floor. I stared at it intensely, waiting for it to disappear, but it didn't. I sighed and rolled my eyes. I walked over to it and grabbed it off the floor.I shook it out to make sure that wasn't any dust on it and noticed the note taped to it.I'm sorry - LI huffed and pulled the note off. I breathed in deeply and let Liam's scent dance around my nose. He smelt magnificent and I realised how much I missed him. It had been two whole days since our argument. He hadn't spoken to me once since that, nor had I tried to speak to him.I folded the bear skin and sat on my bed, rubbing my hands along the fur. It was so soft and wonderful. I loved it.I missed Liam. I missed him calling me that stupid nickname and his hand in mine, I missed his warmth and his seductive smirk. I wanted to talk to him, and I knew I would have to eventually, but I could barely face him.If I were to speak to him, it would mean we'd have to t

I woke in the morning to a painful burning sensation on my arm. I shot upright in my bed and looked down at my bicep. There was a mark on my arm, and my gut twisted in pain as I realised what it was. I wasn't stupid.Veronica was with Liam again.I looked next to me, where Liam had slept last night. He wasn't there anymore, but his scent was. I was covered in it and so was my bed. I felt more than relieved to have his scent around me. It was comforting.I sighed and got up. I got ready and then sat down on my bed to pull on shoes and socks. On my nightstand, I noticed a folded piece of paper.My beast purred as I reached for it. It had 'SUGAR' written on the front. It was from Liam. He was the only one who called me that. I didn't understand the nickname, but clearly it made sense to him. I kind of liked it too.I opened the note and read over it with eager eyes. Liam's handwriting with messy but easily readable. He was left handed, judging by the smudges on some of the words on the p

I stepped foot outside and then breathed in the overly chilly air. It was snowing. It was finally snowing.The snow wasn't heavy. It was light and looked like it would be soft to touch. The air was noticeably more cold than it had been any other morning.The whiteness covered the ground and everything else around me. The steps to the cabin were covered in snow and I shook my head as I grinned. I loved the snow."Ah, finally. Now we have an excuse to sleep in. The snow finally came," I heard from behind me. I turned around and grinned at Ezra who walked out behind me. He returned the gesture and gave me a gentle hug.He looked much better compared to the night before. Jenny must have taken him hunting and got him to feed off a deer or something. The blood would have helped him heal."Glad you're up nice and early," I told him with a grin. Ezra shrugged at me as we both looked out to the snow. Already, some of the children were running out in the snow wearing at least five layers of war

Nicolas, who I assumed was Liam's uncle, shook Liam's hand and laughed as his mate scolded him and moved past him to get to me. Nicolas began to ask Liam about all of his training, and I lost interest in all the testosterone in the conversation. The woman came over to me and grinned at me. She came forwards and hugged me, rubbing our cheeks together as she did so. She smelt like sunflowers and daisies. I liked this female already. "I'm Blu. I'm so happy to finally meet you, Alison. Lila has been giving you five star ratings whenever she speaks of you," Blu told me. I giggled at her as I glanced sideways where Lila was. She was the best sister. "It's nice to meet you, Blu," I told her with a nod. She grinned at me and glanced sideways at her mate. Nicolas was already organising a time and date for him and Liam to have a go at each other. "Men. I swear to God," Blu shook her head as she grabbed Nicolas' arm. She tugged him sideways and motioned to me. "Ah! The girl my boy is apparen
