This expansion is at the request of a reader, who wanted to know more about Cullen and Luke. They kinda get pushed to the side in the main story, but Cullen and his mate are big players in the squeal Mates Against All Odds and of course, in Alphas of Silver Creek. This is their story as told by them. We pick up right after Claire and Grace turn 17. Enjoy.April 2019Cullen’s POV“Hey Cullen,” A blonde smiles at me, as I walk down the junior hallway at school.“Hi, Cullen” Some redhead.More blondes and a couple brunettes all trying to get my attention. Not interested!“You look lost,” Mable DeMur, the sassier half to the DeMur twins.“Bored is not the same as lost,” I tell her.“Once you get to class you won’t be bored,” Maple isn’t like the rest the girls. She doesn’t flirt with me. She doesn’t try and touch me, flip her hair when talking to me, or treat me any different than the other guys in school.I’m the Alpha’s son, one of four; my older brother is Liam, then there’s Nic, th

Cullen’s POVI’m throwing my knives and getting fancy a little. I do a front roll and throw, hitting the bullseye. I do an aerial and hit the bullseye again. I keep practicing tricks and I’m working up a sweat.“Hey, is that impressive,” I hear her voice and spin around.“Don’t sneak up on a man throwing knives,” I warn her.“Man? You sure about the man part?” Mable smirks.I smirk back, “Fine, guy. How did you find me?”“Luke told me where to look,” She pick up a steel dagger and throws it hitting the target. Just off the bullseye.“Stand here and try again,” I offer, moving out of her way.“Okay,” She picks up a silver blade and drops it.“Fuck, let me see,” I grab her hand and look at it.“It’s fine,” She tries to pull away.“Give me your damn hand,” I take it back and look. “We need to get you to the clinic.”“Why the hell do you have sliver blades?” She asks me, as I start to drag her toward the clinic.“I’m immune,” I tell her.“It really hurts,” She slows down.She must have gr

Cullen’s POV“Sable didn’t want to kiss me,” Luke tells me, when we are behind our door. “I think this whole thing was a set up for Mable to go out with you.”I give him a rare smirk.“She told me it was,” I tell him.“Dude, did you score?” He asks.“She is in the hospital,” I look at him like he is crazy.“You fucked her into the hospital?” Luke smiles. “Was the dagger and shit the cover?”“What in the hell is wrong with you? How are we twins? Seriously? NO.” I really want to punch him in the face.“I mean, it would be a good cover,” Luke smirks.“She and I are going to be secretly dating,” I tell him.“DUUUUDE! Are you for real? I mean, that is great for you. Are you going to score?” He asks me.“Can you get your mind out of gutter for three minutes?” I hit him with the heel of my hand.“I’m horny. Sable has me all worked up,” Luke goes and lays on his bed. “We should have our own rooms like Liam, Nic and Claire.”“Agreed. We should ask Dad tomorrow,” I also lay down.“They treat us

Anna’s POV2000-Flashback-“Anna,” William kneels in front of me. The whole pack is gathered in the square to see this. “I have been selfish and cruel, while you have been patient and forgiving. I want to confess that five years ago I was blinded by lust for another, I allowed myself to believe that it was love and that love would conquer all. That even my soulmate, you, would not compare. But you didn’t give up on me. You refused to accept my rejection. You stood strong, while I proved how weak I am. You lead, when others would have hidden away. You even comforted me in my grief. There is no stronger she-wolf in existence. Three years ago, I thought I was broken forever, but you put me together again, as the moon goddess knew you would. You never accepted my rejection, so I am asking permission to please withdraw it. I will never stray; I will never give you a moment to doubt my love. I thought I knew love before, but I was wrong. You know what love is and you know how to show it. Pl

Cullen’s POV“Where are we going?” Mable asks me.“I told you our first time wasn’t perfect, I want our second to be perfect,” I drive up the mountain.“We have had many, many perfect opportunities and you keep turning me down. I am starting to think you don’t want to have sex anymore. It’s been over two weeks,” she tells me.“You really want to be fucked against the door in a broom closet at school?” I ask her, taking her hand.“By you? YES!” She answers, squeezing my hand.“Well, sorry, no, I’m not doing that,” I tell her.I pull up to a clearing by a lake on the side of our mountain. Luke helped me set this up. I have a tent with a bed set up, rose petals everywhere, and the light is provided by LED candles. Luke called it mood lighting. He also started a small campfire for us to start our evening.“WOW,” Mable says, as I pull her to the log in front of the tent by the fire.“Shall we start with some meat, cheese, and crackers. I think Claire may have made this, there are olives an
