LOGINConfirmation that Stellan was working with Leo and Arden.
Vivienne“When can I see you again?” he growls.Goddess, the mate bond is something else. For all the shit I’ve been through with men in my life, my body still craves Arman. It’s a deep, visceral need, something Sigrid, my wolf, has no problem with. For her, it’s all about instinct and finding her mate. For me, it’s about my shitty history with men.From everything I’ve learned about the man the Moon Goddess has mated me to, he’s different than those men. He’s more like the men Piper has introduced me to, men like the Hills, Alpha Henry, and Alpha Quirin. Well, no one is like Alpha Quirin, but for all the fear he puts into people about hurting the ones he loves, he’s actually a very kind and loving Alpha.“How about next weekend?” I say. Since Alpha Quirin, Alpha Henry, and Piper came to pull me off the street, I’m not planning to go back out until things settle down. Honestly, I’m exhausted and I could use the downtime. Constantly being harassed, constantly finding these women who hav
JudeWhen we arrived at Gage and Izzy’s pack, all my good intentions about beginning the work I needed to do for Hijack went out the window. I haven’t been in this pack before, and I’m not sure if it feels better now that my sister is here, but the feeling of unrest is heavy in the air. I’m not at all surprised that my father is uncomfortable leaving her here without her family’s support.“Hey, Izzy,” I say as she walks over. I open my arms and she walks right into them. I can feel her fatigue, but also her resolution. She’s going to do whatever it takes to make this work.“Hey, big brother. I need your help.”“Anything you need, Izzy, you know that.”She smiles as she pulls out of the hug. “I do,” she says, looking over her shoulder at Gage.“You don’t even know what we need yet,” he says, looking at me.“It doesn’t matter. When my family needs me, I’m there for them. Our entire family is that way,” I say.“It’s how family is supposed to be, Gage,” Wendy tells him, just as the rest of
WendyJude told me about his interview with Cedar. Since we’re classmates, they thought it would be better if I wasn’t part of the interview, but I told him that I like Cedar and in class, he’s never given me a reason to think he wouldn’t fit in with our team.After dinner on Monday night, he called my dad and talked to him about Cedar joining our team.“I’ll talk to the other councilmembers, but if you and the team are comfortable with him, then I’d say the more the merrier. Hijack also talked to me about bringing Lotus in. I talked to Rebecca and looked at her records from her time at the Academy. We have no problem with her returning to assist the team as well.”“Excellent. That will allow Hijack to hand more work off to us so he can focus on the Southern Council.”On Wednesday, Cedar joined my classes for technology, meaning we have all the same classes now and Wednesday night, he joined us in Hijack’s room for his first meeting with the council.What surprised me was walking in an
JudeWhen we returned to the Academy on Sunday afternoon, Alpha Nevaeh wasn’t on campus. Instead of waiting to make it official, Wendy and I collected the last of her belongings and carried them to my room. We took an hour to rearrange the room, knowing that this space will now be ours for the rest of the year and possibly for several years if we decide to remain on campus even after I graduate this year.Once we were settled, we got to work. We stopped only long enough to go to the cafeteria to get dinner, then return to our room to continue working.When Wendy began to get tired, I took her to bed, made love to her until I was satisfied that she would sleep well, then I waited until she was asleep before getting back to work. Hijack and I are used to working late at night. It’s quiet at this time of day, making it easier to focus.While I was working, I got a message from Hijack that one of this year’s cadets wants to talk to us about a position on the Tech Team.Me: Who is it? Don’t
NevaehWhen Michael called me early this morning, I wasn’t surprised to hear the grief in his voice.“She’s gone, Nevaeh.”“Do you want me there with you?”“Yes. Dr. Yara set it up so her cremation would be expedited. I’ll get her ashes back today. Will you spread them with me?”“I’m on my way,” I said.When he didn’t hang up, I stayed quiet, giving him a moment to get his thoughts in order.“She died Friday night. I held her in my arms on the back patio, rocking her. As the sun set, she took her last breath. I swear I saw a flash as the last bit of the sun fell below the horizon. I think it was her saying goodbye.”“I’m sure it was,” I said, forcing the words past the tightness in my throat. “I’ll be there in two hours, Michael.”“Thank you, Nevaeh.”On the way to the beach, I think back to the time when my own mate had died. All four of us met at the Academy. Libby was smart, but she wasn’t the kind of fighter they needed on the elite teams. Instead, she became a techy and when Micha
JudeMan did I skirt having my ass handed to me by those hellions this morning. Thank the goddess Wendy helped me know which one was which. Although, I think I’m starting to figure it out. Kendra is just a little more assertive and outspoken than her sister. She’s also the one who comes at their attacks from the front while Kaylee goes around and attacks from behind. When I was working with them, the subtle differences in their personalities started to show more, making it easier for me to tell them apart.Of course, feeling my mate’s hot flash of desire when I was working with the girls was perfect. I want pups and now that I’m mated to Wendy, I really want them. But I still have a year left at the Academy and she just started her first year. If she intends to continue to work for the council, which seems to be what she wants, then she’ll need to continue at the Academy for four years. I’ll be interested to see what Tracker does after she delivers her pup. We were able to modify our w
