IrinaI had to explain what happened and who Lupe was. None of them had gone through a similar experience since they were born this way, so it was very exciting for them to hear that I actually met the moon goddess. It felt strange to tell them what she looked like. She was someone they all believed in, but I only heard about her a short while ago. Now I was the one who got to meet her, while they got to keep on believing.My entire body tingled and it didn’t take very long for all of them to ask to see my wolf. I looked at Hunter, who was still stunned by everything and he smiled, nodding. He carried me out of our room and the entire pack was waiting. Everyone seemed so happy that I was one of them now. I didn’t die. I survived. Hunter put me down and told me to imagine what Lupe looked like. Of course, they warned me it would hurt like hell, but Hunter promised that each bone that broke would heal just as fast. I thought about what she looked like but nothing happened.“Sweetheart,

IrinaEverything I had hoped for was falling into place. Now that I was a wolf, it all felt different, just like I had hoped it would. Lunch with my parents was great even though the urge to tell them was nagging at the back of my mind. I knew them best and I had no idea how they would react to the news that their daughter was also a huge wolf.“What time are you coming home? I miss you.” In the late afternoon, we had just closed up the shop when I heard Hunter’s voice coming through the mind link.“On our way, as we speak. I miss you too.” A smile formed in the corners of my mouth as I slipped into the back seat of the black SUV. I had grown used to having them around and people in town didn’t stare as much anymore. It was strange. The pack’s SUVs had been driving around town for years, but I never really paid much attention to them.The pack had been living here for years and I never really took notice of how the town’s people stared at them. Almost as if … They were a different spe

IrinaThe dinner was incredible and it was clear that the werewolves catered for our kind. There was more than enough to go around and some even ate seconds! After dinner, another Alpha I met when we arrived made a speech and then everyone started dancing. I was surprised when Hunter asked me to dance and even more when he expertly guided us across the floor.I didn’t even realize he was such a great dancer. I loved being a wolf. You could dance the night away in heels and your feet never got tired. You could drink as much as you wanted and never get drunk! But the part I loved the most was that we could make love all night long and still function in the morning when we had to.I was living the best life ever. After having breakfast with Hunter in the morning, we went our separate ways. He went off to his meetings and I quickly found Rosemary. I figured out during the ball that since she and her mate were the oldest, they basically ran the entire event as well. It was just another thi

IrinaI felt torn … AGAIN! I wanted to be part of the pack. I wanted to be majestic and all those things. I just … Killing something … Even something that was attacking us. It was a very bitter pill to swallow. My internal struggle didn’t stay internal for very long before I couldn’t hold it in anymore. Hunter and Emily were sure that I was feeling this way because I wasn’t born into this life.I had a feeling that wasn’t it. I was beginning to wonder if I was ever meant to be like this. Even after the moon goddess spoke to me. I was all for defending yourself, but all this killing! For days the scent of blood hung thick in the air. It seemed as though the others couldn’t smell it anymore, so maybe it was just my mind playing tricks on me! I tried breathing exercises and even tried to do some yoga, but I couldn’t get the images out of my mind and the taste of blood out of my mouth. I wasn’t a wolf! I was a monster!“Irina!” Hunter’s growl drew me out of my line of thinking. He was sca

IrinaDinner with my parents went better than expected. They were shocked just like we were when we got the news, but they were very happy for us. There was one small thing we didn’t tell them because we weren’t entirely sure about it. The doctor couldn’t give me a due date since most alpha pregnancies only last a couple of months usually, but I was born human … They weren’t sure how long I would carry.Hunter and I decided to cross that bridge once we reached it. If I was pregnant closer to human terms, we could just say that the baby was born premature. If the baby was born closer to wolf terms … We would have to figure out some elaborate lie or tell them the full truth. In the meantime, Hunter wanted me to experience all the joy of being pregnant and looking forward to our baby being in our lives.I knew this was something he had been waiting for, for a very long time. I knew about his first mate and her tragic death. It wasn’t just about having an heir for Hunter. He truly wanted
