Aspen Walking away from Elena and Mason is the hardest thing I’ve ever done besides leaving my brother. In both cases, I did what I thought was right at the time. But it had gotten me fuck all so far and already I’m keen to give up. Splitting up was a waste of time. I’m no closer to finding my mother than I was before I left Crimson Moon. The next logical place to look was North Winds, the only other pack where we had family, but they hadn’t seen my mother in years. All I want to do now is rejoin my mates. My mates, as in plural. When we first found Elena, I was over the moon and that will never change. She’s everything I could ever want and so much more. Then Mason showed up looking like a blond haired, blue-eyed adonis and the attraction was instant. I never dreamed he’d want me as a chosen mate but now that he’s put it on the table, I realize I can’t live without him any more than I can her. Just one more stop and then I’m going back to them. It’s probably another dead end bu

Mason “When you said you wanted to have a date night, this isn’t quite what I’d envisioned.” Ellie looks at our crowded surroundings pointedly. “I was hoping for something much more . . . intimate.” “Oh really? Why don’t you describe what you had in mind? Every ‘intimate’ detail.” I murmur huskily, lifting her into my lap and leaving a trail of kisses down her neck. “Now, Alpha,” She purrs back, making my cock spring to life under her soft ass, “given present company, I don’t think that would be appropriate. But I’d be happy to give you a full demonstration once we’re alone.” “I’ll hold you to that, little one.” I growl softly, nipping at her ear playfully. She isn’t wrong. I definitely saw our date night going much differently too. We’re currently in the theater room of the Glass Lake packhouse watching a movie along with a bunch of other pack members. Some not even old enough to have their wolves yet. But after Luna Kat’s reaction to the mystery item Ellie found, they

Asher Since when is my life the plot for a really bad horror movie? And that’s part of the problem. Maybe it’s always been this way but I can’t fucking remember. First, some guy comes to my home and tries to convince me we’re long lost twins, separated at birth or some shit, I don't know. Then my gentle, soft-spoken mate shows up and knocks him out. It’s like a bad dream I can’t wake up from. Her actions in that moment and all that have followed since seem so unlike the woman I know. I’m racking my brain trying to recall anything from the past that would indicate she’s capable of such behavior but I’m coming up empty. And I mean completely empty. “What’s wrong, sweetheart?” Nissa asks when she notices the frown I’m wearing. “I feel like I’m losing my mind. I can’t even remember how we met.” I admit, shaking my head to clear the fog. “Oh, sweetheart, you’re just overtired. You were meant to be resting when that crazy man invaded our home. Let’s get you back to bed.” She

Mason “Breakfast, courtesy of your wonderful mate!” My sister announces cheerfully, handing me the bag of food. “I helped stuff the tortillas so, you’re welcome.” “That was so sweet of you girls. Thank you sweetheart!” My mom pulls her in for a hug but my eyes are still fixed on the door, waiting for Ellie to walk through it. “Liv, where’s El? Why isn’t she with you?” I ask when she doesn’t appear. “Oh, she said to tell you she’d meet you here, later.” Her eyes flit around, looking anywhere but at me. “Olivia, what aren’t you telling me?” I growl, an intimidation tactic I know won’t work with her since she knows I’d never harm a hair on her head. “Damn it, Mace! Are you really gonna force me to break girl code?” She deflects. But she must see the desperation in my eyes because her face softens and she groans in defeat. “Fine, I’ll tell you what I know because I’m a little worried too. “We were packing up the food and she was planning to come with me to deliver it when a

Kaden “This can’t be the right fucking address.” I mumble to myself as I pull up to the run down shack sitting on the lot Mason directed me to. His car is here as well as a pack vehicle my sister probably ‘borrowed’ and neither of them are in sight so I can only assume they’re inside. Whatever trouble Mason thought Ellie was in, I hope to fuck he got it wrong. But I’m not stupid. There’s nothing good to be found in a dilapidated shithole in the middle of nowhere. If she’s inside, Goddess only knows what she walked into. “What have you gotten yourself into now, little sis?” I grumble, but the truth is, I’m scared to fucking death for her. I hop out of the cab of my truck, waving at the cavalcade of warriors to pull in beside me. With several units still in Sacred Moon keeping the peace in Mason’s absence and a killer still on the loose, it took me a while to round up the few men we could spare. “What’s the plan here, Alpha?” One of the squad leaders hurries over for instr
