After a long but much needed night with the twins, I woke to an empty bed. Well—it wasn’t completely empty. A head of flaming hair was the first thing I saw as I opened my eyes, followed by Tori’s smirking face. She was perched on the edge of the bed, her chin resting on her hands.
“Um, how long have you been here?” I grunted; my voice thick with sleep. As I rubbed the cobwebs from her eyes, she straightened and flashed me a cheeky smile.
“Oh, a half an hour or so.” She shrugged, brushing some strands of hair from her forehead.
As my senses sharpened and the thick haze of post-sleep faded, I noticed she was wearing an emerald sports bra and black leggings. Her thick curls were pulled back from her face, and her round eyes held a flicker of impatient excitement.
“Do you always watch your friends sleep?” I snickered, sitting up against the wooden headboard.
“I most certainly do not, that is

The stairs wrapped around a couple times before ending at the second floor. There was a wide, brightly lit hallway that led to a multitude of rooms. Through the large windows on either side of the wall, I could see multiple fitness rooms with foam flooring.We made our way to the only unoccupied room—well, it was mostly unoccupied. Standing in the large room was a man I had never seen before. He was up there in age, around sixty or so, but he was in impeccable shape. The t-shirt he wore couldn’t hide the muscles beneath, or the bulkiness of his form. His short-cropped hair was grey, with just a small spattering of white.“Welcome, girls.” His raspy voice boomed throughout the empty room, nearly making me jump.He turned to greet the two of us, and my breath halted in my throat. His face was angular in a way that looked familiar, and while both of his eyes were the same color—I had seen that color before. They were so blue that they

“I can do that myself.” I told Alec, sitting up from the pale couch in the gym’s lounge.After some much-needed time together, I was a little more than ready to head home and take a long shower. Not only had the sweat began to dry to my skin, but I now had a comfortable soreness between my legs. Alec had scrounged up a wash cloth and was currently running it under the cold water of the sink. Every so often his eyes would dart over to where I laid; completely undressed and surprisingly unabashed on the couch.“You sure about that, doll?” He flashed me a grin that made my insides melt.It was hard not to smile when the Twin’s looked at me this way. I would’ve once called myself clinically insane for claiming to love a man I had only known for a month or so. While in this case I had two men, things were different with them. I felt like I knew them in a way I didn’t with others, that there was no other alternative for

“I thought we were getting a shower?” I asked, an eyebrow lifted in interest as Kade turned on the faucet to the bath.I had long admired the bathtub in their bathroom, but hadn’t yet had the chance to use it. The jets etched into the side of the bathtub, the built-in seat meant to recline in, and the curved design that could easily fit a small family; it all called my name. After nearly a lifetime of living in cruddy apartments and decrepit houses, this place seemed like a mansion. I was used to small shower bathtub combinations, most of the time stained an unappealing shade of yellow. More times than not, mold dotted the ceiling in black and green splotches. The times I had used their obnoxiously large shower, I took all the time in the world to enjoy the constant stream of hot

We met up with Garrett, Julian and Alec just an hour later. Between Alec’s heated glances and Kade’s comforting touches, it was hard to take the situation seriously. I invited Tori to join, no longer keeping her at an arm's length.Tori acted as a body guard of sorts. Alec and Kade had assigned her to me shortly after the rogue incident, which I found somewhat surprising. Oddly sexist of me, but I didn’t expect Tori to be such a skilled warrior. She had fought in the battle with the rogues, but I hadn’t taken the time to notice. My eyes had been only for Alec and Kade that horrible day.Every time I thought about my life in this pack, I found myself astounded. I had gone from trusting no one to finally having a family of my own. I trusted Tori, Alec and Kade with my life. I only trusted Garrett and Julian due to their mutual agreement on keeping me alive. Both needed an heir to their pack’s, and unfortunately, that was me.We met up

The following week was a painful orchestra of sore muscles, lingering headaches, loads of sweat, and those horrible protein shake’s Tori insisted on making. If I had to taste another one of those disgusting shakes, I might very well explode. Tori had been right though; they were good for my body; no matter how much my taste buds revolted.A week of strenuous training hadn’t turned me into a cold-blooded warrior, but I could at least somewhat defend myself. I would most likely balk when it came to fighting another werewolf, but I was confident I could handle a regular human with ease. Shifting had sped up my body's natural processes, giving me faster results than a human would normally see. While I wasn’t coated in thick bands of muscle, my thin frame had filled out more. My stomach had hardened, giving the hint of muscles beneath my pasty skin. My legs, which had once been feather thin, were now firm.Alec and Kade seemed enamored with the changes on

The inside of the cabin matched the outside. It looked as though it had been plucked from one of those home improvement TV shows Tori loved to watch. Judging from the kitchen with its stacked oven’s, touch-screen refrigerator, and mini bar area, it was most certainly a luxury cabin.The interior held earthy tones, mostly browns and a few different shades of red. The sectional in the center of the cabin was big enough for an entire family, and the flat-screen mountain to the far wall was the biggest I had ever seen. Plush pillows sat on the sectional, and I resisted the urge to throw myself onto them, happy to sink into the soft material. I ogled at the brick fireplace and the hand carved mantle that sat above it, grinning when I spotted a few framed pictures of the twin’s and their parents.They looked like the picture-perfect family, and for once, there was no twinge of pain in my chest. I was happy the twins had this incredible life, that they were surrou

As I stood in the mirror analyzing the skimpy bikini the twins had packed for me, I decided that I in fact liked the bathing suit. It matched the color of my left eye perfectly, even if it was a bit too small.I had never been slim in physique, and working out with Tori had only added to that fact. My waist was somewhat narrow, and my stomach had flattened more since training, but my hips flared out and my bust was larger than the average woman. The little triangles of the top managed to contain my breasts, just barely, though. The bottoms on the other hand—they were something else. Little bows sat on either side of my hips, and the bottoms covered perhaps a quarter of my full rear.Tori came up behind me and cocked her head to the side, her curly ponytail of fiery locks bounced from the movement. She pursed her lips and wrinkled her nose, those cinnamon freckles scrunching.“Why can’t I fill out like that?” She scoffed, and I tried to co

“Seems like we came back just in time for the fun.”It was Kade who spoke, his voice thick with both amusement and arousal. Alec stood there with a glazed look to his eyes, completely forgetting Tori was also in attendance.“Men.” Tori cooed, laughing quietly when neither of the twin’s seemed to register her teasing remark.She quickly dove under water and brushed the sopping wet locks from her forehead. Both Alec and Kade seemed to need a few minutes to regain themselves, the evidence of their interest was hidden within the strained fabric of their swimming trunks. So much for that cold shower, I laughed silently.The twin’s made me feel mature and sexy, like I wasn’t the inexperienced girl I often felt like. They loved me as I was, and that alone would bring an incredible amount of confidence to any clear-minded woman.I drifted through the pool, my eyes locked on theirs, as I reached for my abandoned bik
