Ariana was in the hallway.They pulled apart.There was no way Breeana could leave without being seen. Breeana nearly slapped herself. When had she become so enslaved to her body's desires and needs? Ariana rounded the corner. Breeana thought fast and tripped herself making sure to land with a thump and yelled out loud, naturally, Reece reached out and tried to help her up just as Ariana reached the balcony.Ariana was a wolf so she would scent Breeana all over Reece so running off was off the table. Also, Breeana couldn't see herself but her hair had escaped the bun she had put it in courtesy of Reece's wandering hands so she knew she would look messy.Trying to stand up, Breeana latched onto Reece so that that would explain her scent on him. Then once she got her feet beneath her, she shoved him away trying to balance on her 'twisted ankle'.He stood there visibly puzzled. He knew Ariana was at the doorway but still didn't know what to make of Breeana's 'fall'."I don't need your bl

Breeana was running through her usual route that morning. The air was crisp and cold, just how she liked it and she was finally beginning to get out of her own head. There was no Breeana, no Reece. Just peaceful quiet and nature.She ran in human form today because she and Shar had been at loggerheads for some time now about Reece. Shar had told her that she was being a hypocrite. For someone who wanted nothing with Reece, why was she constantly thinking about him?Breeana didn't have an answer for her yet. Shar was ignoring her presently. It hurt Breeana that Reece had also come between her and her wolf. All the while he just remained unaware and blissfully oblivious, he was too busy with the woman of his dreams to realise how much of the fallout she was taking.Maybe it was because she was thinking about Reece and not so much about her surroundings that it happened. After all, she passed this route every day so she had been lulled into a state of complacency. While running, she tri

The last person Reece thought he would see first thing in the morning was Breeana."Sorry, I needed to see you. Can I come in?" She sounded a little bit nervous.Reece cleaned his eyes with his fingers blinking rapidly. Was he dreaming?"Sure… come in." What else could he have said? Stay outside because I'm insanely attracted to you and I am home alone?She entered the house and looked around."Your dad?"Reece waved away her question and went to the kitchen to hunt for coffee. Everything made sense after coffee. "He's practically been living at his office in the pack house since the attack.""Right." Breeana tucked her hands into the back of her jeans bringing Reece's attention to her extremely luscious curves."You came here for something." Reece said gruffly. The coffee wasn't coming along as quickly as he would have liked. He wanted her to state her business quickly and leave before the mate bond made him do something exceedingly stupid."Yeah, I uh… wanted to thank you for Sarah.

The great thing about winter was that after the first rainfall, the pack always celebrated it with bonfire nights. It was a way to celebrate life and the year before.So when the rain began to fall as she reached home from the tragic date, Breeana knew the bonfire would be the next night. Weird that Breeana didn't feel alive at all at that moment. Reece drove away immediately and she got down from the car deep in thought.Breeana walked into the house and saw Ariana asleep in front of the TV, a half-eaten tub of popcorn beside her with the closing credits of a movie playing out on the screen. Breeana wanted to wake her up but she wasn't ready for the dissection that Ariana would give her so she walked up the staircase feeling cold and wet in her revealing outfit.Breeana stripped quietly and entered the shower letting the hot water drip down on her as she scrubbed and scrubbed her skin as though she could wash off the invisible stains Tyler's hands left on her body.Breeana brushed he

Breeana fought for composure. "What?"Reece's face remained impassive."I… I understand your dad's sick and you just had a truckload of responsibility dropped on you. No one could have anticipated this would happen and I'm sorry. I truly am. But you don't have the right to send me away."Reece stapled his fingers together and leaned back slightly in his chair."I am your Alpha Breeana. I can send you wherever I please.""I call bull. My parents would never stand for this. I am the daughter of the Beta of this pack. So unless you give me a really good reason, I will stay here exactly where I want to."Breeana barely held back a growl. The nerve on this guy.Reece gave a bone-weary sigh. "Of course, you would make even this difficult."He leaned in, his green eyes looking darker in the lighting. His gaze caught hers."Aren't you feeling it?" Reece tapped his chest. "The draw is increasing. Very soon, it won't be a choice but inevitable."Breeana swallowed. Yes, she had noticed. She had
