“Hannah’s Point of View~ “There won’t be any hiding our scents all over each other,” I say, as we both jog back toward the camp. He stops quickly, and takes my hands in his. “Good. Maybe my mom will get it through her head once and for all. You’re my world Hannah. There is no way in hell I’m giving you up,” he says, but it’s not just words. I see the promise in his eyes and practically throw myself at him, lock my wrists around his neck and kiss him. It lasts a couple of minutes, until he groans and pulls away. “My father’s just mind-linked me. They’re pulling into camp now. Come on,” he says, as a sinking feeling hits in my gut. While I do feel like Rafe and I turned a corner, there’s still a lot between Parker and I that needs to be said. There’s no ignoring that. Those few blissful days Parker and I had together in his cabin … he should have told me then who he was and the fact that he didn’t, hurts. Yeah I’m hardly smart or sophisticated, though I’ve felt like Parker fin

~Parker’s Point of View~ “Just sit me down next to her,” I say, already feeling more pain than I could've imagined. It’s for her, I’ll do anything for my mate and she needs me now more than I need to be comfortable. I forced Rafe to wrap me in a thick blanket and carry me out to Hannah, and boy he didn’t want to. But she needs us, both of us. There’s no getting around it. Crush nearly ripped me out of my skin the moment we smelled her new scent from her shift. It’s the same wildflower field but so much more intense and other things I can’t place. After everyone was down for the night, Crush was finally strong enough to mind-link. My twin and I had a very long conversation with a lot of cursing, a lot of blame. We both brought up old shit that should long be in the past. But we’re both petty to a fault at times. Definitely get that from our mother. I’m not entirely sure how it ended because we both drifted off to sleep but we can’t ignore the fact that in that moment we already kne

~Hannah’s Point of View~ “Tell me what happened first. How was I taken? What about everyone else,” I ask, as a tear rolls down my cheek. I already know the answer. Dead, they’re all dead. Just like I should probably be. Was it a rogue attack? Isaac himself? I can’t just blindly run into this. I’ve had far too many unknowns in my life. A pair of violet eyes isn’t enough to let all my walls down. It can’t be. “Jane first,” Frederick says, nearly like a caveman. His eyes fall over the female, and I can tell there’s so much hurt there. “I’ve spent my entire life never seeing another who looks like me. Though I believed a certain male was my father and he wasn’t. Maybe something in the back of my mind always knew he was a liar but I couldn’t face the world totally alone. I suppose I needed him though I resented it. Why have you been alone Frederick? Why can’t you wake her yourself … and why aren’t you stuck in a slumber too,” I ask, as I turn and step down back onto the dirt floor of

~Hannah’s Point of View~ The very moment I get into our tent, I strip off all my clothes and get cozy in a pile of blankets. The Alpha offered to have a quick cabin assembled, but we insisted it wasn’t necessary. I declined because I love being closer to the forest, and the guys? Well I’m pretty sure they don’t believe we’re staying here very long. Frederick wanted me to sleep on a cot in the cave with him but there was no chance of that happening. So a tent far into the middle of the woods it was, and the boys have one about a five minute walk away. For good measure, I tug out my braids and fluff my hair. They love pulling on it, and I have to give my mates what they want. It’s been days since I felt one of their bodies fully pressed against mine, their weight on top of me. It’s time. If I’m to face Isaac, I do it with their marks, their scents mixed with mine. I’m certain nothing will piss him off more. After a minute when they still haven’t showed up, I get annoyed and raise m

~Hannah’s Point of View~ I can’t help myself as I nibble on Parker’s ear while we’re supposed to be paying attention. Since getting mated, my body is just dialed up to 10 every second of the day. I’m on sexual overdrive and there’s no getting enough. My body hardly gets tired anymore, I could just go all day and night. Frederick says we’re naturally born to move, run, exercise. He didn’t say the big word but he hinted around it for sure. Born to breed I’m willing to bet. There’s no way a beastly creature with a lust for blood and fighting doesn’t want to get off 24/7. Also, since my shift I swear to the Goddess my hips have moved and are wider and I literally FEEL ready to pop out a kid. *Pay attention.* My mind tells me, and I turn to narrow my eyes at my mother. She winks quickly though, and that makes me blush. I never dreamed I’d find my mother, let alone have her find me in the throes of getting mated. AWKWARD!!! “And that’s when our surprise fighters will come in the next
