I shouldn’t peak into Brendon’s sketchbook, I peel it open, only, there, on the third page—That’s me. Undressed. Ready. Waiting in his bed. Brendon wants me. The smoking hot, ten thousand miles out of my league bad boy wants me— a good girl with thick glasses and no game. <br /> ————————<br /> Kaylee plants her palms on the table. Her cheeks spread to her ears. They're pink. Then red. She's laughing so hard her udder are shaking.<br /> That tight blue dress, the same blue as her glasses.<br /> She looks amazing, like the sweet, innocent angel she is and like the intercourse goddess I'm desperate to unleash.<br /> But I still hate that scrap of fabric with every fiber of my being.<br /> I hate every ounce of air between us.<br /> Every flint of wood in this table.<br /> Every guy here looking at her the way I am.<br /> If I don't get ahold of myself, I'm going to break a few arms. And maybe my hand. And I can't exactly finish Alex's back piece at nine a.m. tomorrow with broken fingers.<br /> Em wraps her arms around Kaylee.<br /> Kaylee laughs, pushing her long blond hair behind her ears and gathering it at one shoulder.<br /> Her eyes flit around the room.<br /> They catch mine.<br /> They scream I'm about to wish for you to take me to your room.<br /> Or maybe that's in my head.<br /> Today is the day.<br /> She's no longer a temptation that can get me locked up. Just a temptation that can rip away everything that matters to me.<br /> Em leans in to whisper in her ear. I know my sister. I know exactly what she's saying. Wish for someone to sleep tonight.<br /> Not happening.<br /> Not as long as I'm here.<br /> I hate to be a blocker, really, I do, but there's no way Kaylee is taking home anyone on my watch.<br /> I have no idea how she's managed to stay single this long.<br /> She's beautiful. Smart. Funny. Kind. And innocent...The way her cheeks are blushing.<br /> The way she's leaning over the table, letting her eyelids fall together, parting her lips...<br /> I could teach her so many things.<br /> I could teach her everything.<br /> But I can't.<br /> She's my sister's best friend.<br /> And as much as Em is a brat, she's all the family I've got.<br /> These two are the most important people in my life.<br /> My manhood is going to have to cool it.<br /> It's not getting anywhere near Kaylee.<br /> I plant on the Kelly green deck chair, the one under the old lamp with the too yellow bulb.<br /> Even though we're in one of the most crowded cities in Southern California, the beach is empty. Still. All the voices and laughter are coming from the house. The roar of the ocean isn't enough to muffle the party.<br /> I should head inside and kick out Emma's friends. Insist on driving Kaylee back to her place. Lecture both of them about drinking too much.<br /> But I'm not in the mood to play Dad today. I'm tired of playing Dad, period. Emma and I never got along, not exactly, but we used to have a rapport. We were a team. A you're annoying, but not quite as annoying as Mom or Dad team, but we were still a team.<br /> Now, the majority of my relationship is lecturing her and yelling some equivalent of go to your room.<br /> And her yelling back you're not my dad.<br /> I force myself to look out at the ocean.<br /> It's beautiful. Dark water. Soft sand. Stars bright enough to shine against the black sky but dulled by light pollution all the same.<br /> None of it distracts me.<br /> None of the eight million things going on in my life distract me.<br /> I need a way to get Kaylee out of my head. I've tried everything—work, play, other women.<br /> Nothing helps.<br /> I pull out my sketchbook and flick my pen a few times. A few more. My warm up sketch is a messy abstract shape. It means something, I'm sure, but I don't have a clue what that is.<br /> I turn the page. Outline the octopus going on Will's bicep tomorrow afternoon. Attempt to fill in the shading.<br /> The details don't come. The only image in my mind is Kaylee. The brightness in her green eyes, the smile spreading over her pink lips, that coy hip tilt. Like she knows how badly I want my hands on those hips.<br /> Like she's going to roll that dress up her thighs, plant her palms on the table, and shoot me a please.<br /> I don't need a tattoo mockup.<br /> I need her undressed in my bed.<br /> "Hey." The side door slides open and Kaylee steps outside. Her steps aren't soft the way they normally are.<br /> They're messy. Quick.<br /> Her eyes are brighter than normal.<br /> Bolder.<br /> She plants on the lounge chair, next to me. Her thigh presses against mine. Her fingers skim the edges of my sketchbook.<br /> She leans over my shoulder, pressing her chest against my arm, looking up at me with those doe eyes. "Can I see?"<br /> Not the sketchbook. The thing I have in here, of her, will terrify her. Kaylee is sweet. Innocent. I haven't asked, but I'd bet—I have bet Dean—she's a virgin.<br /> My manhood rouses at the thought of being the first inside her. my lips, my tongue, my fingers—every part of me wants to be her first.<br /> She scoots toward me. It's a tiny movement. Soft. More like the Kaylee I know. The sober one.<br /> "Well, it's my birthday." Her fingers curl around my wrist. "And I want a birthday peck."<br /> How about a birthday intercourse? How about a birthday coming on my face until my lips are numb?<br /> "I only give birthday spankings." My voice is steady even though my heart is pounding against my chest.the thought of bending Kaylee over that table and—<br /> "Okay." She presses her lips together. "Let's go. Right here, right now."<br /> "You can handle eighteen?"<br /> She nods.<br /> She can't, but it's tempting anyway...<br /> "Let's go, Brendon." She takes my hand and places it on her hip. Her eyes meet mine. They bore into mine. They demand every thought in my head. Or at least all the ones about stripping her undresed. "Or did I call your bluff?"<br /> "Bend over and plant your hands on the glass if you want to find out." She is calling my bluff. And now I'm calling hers.<br /> Only this is one time—<br /> My sister saves me from my filthy thoughts. She bounces out the door, throws her arms around Kaylee, and pulls her from her seat. "Stop hiding from all the guys at the party."<br /> "Your brother is a guy."<br /> Emma scoffs. Her nose scrunches. It lights up her dark eyes—the same deep brown as mine. She runs her fingers through her violet hair and just barely restrains herself from rolling her eyes.<br /> Kaylee's fingers brush the back of my hand as she turns toward Emma. "Sorry, Em, but it's undeniable. Just look at him."<br /> Emma sticks out her tongue and mouths gross. "Mr. Look What a Brooding Bad Boy I Am will be here tomorrow." She grabs Kaylee's hand and pulls her toward the door. "These other guys won't." Emma looks to me. "You don't have to stay and supervise."<br /> "Nice try," I say.<br /> Emma laughs. She blows me a peck then turns back to her best friend. "Don't wait up."<br /> Kaylee's eyes meet mine. "Did you mean it?"<br /> One part of me did. The rest of me knows better. I play coy. Shrug.<br /> "I'll collect eventually."<br /> "Birthdays only."<br /> "Even so."<br /> I watch her round hips sway as she walks away.<br /> Oh, that dress...<br /> How am I going to get this girl out of my head?<br /> ***<br /> My stomach drops.<br /> Em is pissed.<br /> She's right to be pissed.<br /> And the only thing I can do is insist I'm the adult here.<br /> That's being a parent. I knew what I was signing up for when I lobbied to be her legal guardian.<br /> But that doesn't mean I like it.<br /> Kaylee living here is what makes sense. She's a bright girl with a great future ahead of her. She should be in school. Even if it kills her not being with her family.<br /> "Brendon!" Emma bangs on the door. "I'll give you twenty seconds to explain before I... I don't know. Do something to hurt you back."<br /> "The door is open."<br /> "I know. But—"<br /> We have a strict ask permission before you enter policy. It saves both of us from a lot of awkwardness.<br /> I close my sketchbook. "Come in."<br /> She does. She's fuming. Her face is red. Her eyes are blotchy. Her hands are fists. "Well?"<br /> "Her parents are moving back to Jersey."<br /> Emma raises a brow. And?<br /> "They think she should stay here. Start school right away."<br /> "And you agree with them?"<br /> "Think about it, Em." It's not like I want Kaylee here. I don't trust myself enough to have her in the next room.<br /> It used to be Kaylee was just Emma's friend. She was a girl who was always good for a late-night conversation about books and movies.<br /> But one day, something snapped. She wasn't Emma's friend. She wasn't a girl at all.<br /> She was a woman.<br /> She was still adorable.<br /> But in a intoxicating way.<br /> I've been thinking about her for months.<br /> It's torture every time she spends the night. Every time I see her on the couch in those tiny shorts she sleeps in, hugging her knees to her chest as she loses herself in a book.<br /> It's torture not touching her.<br /> And it's only going to get harder.<br /> I'm a sick man, lusting after the girl I'm supposed to protect.<br /> The girl younger than my kid sister.<br /> But that knowledge hasn't done anything to slow my heart rate when Kay's around.<br /> "Okay. Maybe Kay is better off starting UCLA rather than moving back to New Jersey right away. But you conspired with her parents." Emma folds her arms. "Did you even ask her what she thought?"<br /> I know what Kaylee thinks. If I close my eyes, I can see her miserable and lonely, hiding behind her Kindle the way she always does, pretending like nothing could ever upset her the way she always does.<br /> "I'm your legal guardian." Even if that doesn't matter now that Emma is eighteen. "This is a parent decision."<br /> Emma scowls. "That's a no."<br /> "It's the best option, Em."<br /> "Maybe. But you should have asked her. And me."<br /> "You don't want her here?"<br /> "That's not the point." She turns and spins on her heel. "You should have asked me. Period." She stops at the doorframe. "When is this happening?"<br /> "As soon as possible. Her parents are moving out end of the month."<br /> "You should turn this back into a spare room." Emma nods to my office. "Right away."<br /> "I will."<br /> "And get her an actual copy of the key." Emma's voice softens. "And everything she needs. If you're going to ruin her life, you could at least make her comfortable."<br /> "You think I was gonna leave her on the floor?"<br /> "I didn't think you'd conspire with her parents. How should I know what you'd do?"<br /> "Come by the shop tomorrow. I'll have her key."<br /> "I'll tell her."<br /> "I will."<br /> I pull out my cell and I text Kaylee.<br /> Brendon: You okay?<br /> Kaylee: About what you'd expect.<br /> Brendon: I'm getting a key made for you. I'll leave it at the front desk. You can pick it up whenever.<br /> Kaylee: Thanks. I'll stop by before work.<br /> Brendon: You want to talk about it?<br /> Kaylee: What's there to say? My parents are moving across the country and they aren't asking my opinion about it. I hated it when I was ten, and I hate it now. At least then they invited me to join.<br /> Brendon: Would you move with them if they'd asked?<br /> Kaylee: I don't see how it matters.<br /> Brendon: Your grandma okay?<br /> Kaylee: No. But I'm not in the loop with the details. I have no idea if she has a few weeks left or a few years.<br /> Brendon: I'm sorry she's sick.<br /> Kaylee: Thanks. This isn't on you. You made a generous offer. I do get that. And I appreciate it. Really, Brendon. I do.<br /> Brendon: It's nothing.<br /> Kaylee: It's a lot. I just...<br /> Brendon: Wanted to be consulted?<br /> Kaylee: Want things to be different. But that too. I'm tired. I'm going to go to bed. I'll see you tomorrow.<br /> Brendon: Sweet dreams, Kay.<br /> Kaylee: You too.<br /> The bell rings as Kaylee steps inside the shop.<br /> She's in her work outfit—dark jeans, a black button up shirt, black non-skid shoes.<br /> She hugs her pink purse to her shoulder as her eyes flit around the room.<br /> I want to wrap my arms around her and refuse to let go.<br /> That can't happen.<br /> Neither can a handshake or some equally painful brush off.<br /> Kay and I hug. Period. I need to find a way to be okay with that.<br /> I step out from behind the counter.<br /> She leans in to the gesture.<br /> It's quick but tight.<br /> And, I feel her everywhere.<br /> I have to force myself to pull back. She's a kid. You're supposed to protect her. "You sleeping over tonight?"<br /> "Maybe. Em's trying to convince me to go out. But I think I'd rather crash at home." Her eyes go to the clock. "I gotta go. I'll see you soon."<br /> I nod goodbye.<br /> Watch her hip sway as she walks away.<br /> This time next week, Kaylee is going to live in the room down the hall.<br /> I'm going to have to resist her twenty-four seven.

Wish for someone to sleep tonight.<br /> Not happening.<br /> Not as long as I'm here.<br /> I hate to be a blocker, really, I do, but there's no way Kaylee is taking home anyone on my watch.<br /> I have no idea how she's managed to stay single this long.<br /> She's beautiful. Smart. Funny. Kind. And innocent...The way her cheeks are blushing.<br /> The way she's leaning over the table, letting her eyelids fall together, parting her lips...<br /> I could teach her so many things.<br /> I could teach her everything.<br /> But I can't.<br /> She's my sister's best friend.<br /> And as much as Em is a brat, she's all the family I've got.<br /> These two are the most important people in my life.<br /> My manhood is going to have to cool it.<br /> It's not getting anywhere near Kaylee.<br /> I plant on the Kelly green deck chair, the one under the old lamp with the too yellow bulb.<br /> Even though we're in one of the most crowded cities in Southern California, the beach is empty. Still. All the voices and laughter are coming from the house. The roar of the ocean isn't enough to muffle the party.<br /> I should head inside and kick out Emma's friends. Insist on driving Kaylee back to her place. Lecture both of them about drinking too much.<br /> But I'm not in the mood to play Dad today. I'm tired of playing Dad, period. Emma and I never got along, not exactly, but we used to have a rapport. We were a team. A you're annoying, but not quite as annoying as Mom or Dad team, but we were still a team.<br /> Now, the majority of my relationship is lecturing her and yelling some equivalent of go to your room.<br /> And her yelling back you're not my dad.<br /> I force myself to look out at the ocean.<br /> It's beautiful. Dark water. Soft sand. Stars bright enough to shine against the black sky but dulled by light pollution all the same.<br /> None of it distracts me.<br /> None of the eight million things going on in my life distract me.<br /> I need a way to get Kaylee out of my head. I've tried everything—work, play, other women.<br /> Nothing helps.<br /> I pull out my sketchbook and flick my pen a few times. A few more. My warm up sketch is a messy abstract shape. It means something, I'm sure, but I don't have a clue what that is.<br /> I turn the page. Outline the octopus going on Will's bicep tomorrow afternoon. Attempt to fill in the shading.<br /> The details don't come. The only image in my mind is Kaylee. The brightness in her green eyes, the smile spreading over her pink lips, that coy hip tilt. Like she knows how badly I want my hands on those hips.<br /> Like she's going to roll that dress up her thighs, plant her palms on the table, and shoot me a please.<br /> I don't need a tattoo mockup.<br /> I need her undressed in my bed.<br /> "Hey." The side door slides open and Kaylee steps outside. Her steps aren't soft the way they normally are.<br /> They're messy. Quick.<br /> Her eyes are brighter than normal.<br /> Bolder.<br /> She plants on the lounge chair, next to me. Her thigh presses against mine. Her fingers skim the edges of my sketchbook.<br /> She leans over my shoulder, pressing her chest against my arm, looking up at me with those doe eyes. "Can I see?"<br /> Not the sketchbook. The thing I have in here, of her, will terrify her. Kaylee is sweet. Innocent. I haven't asked, but I'd bet—I have bet Dean—she's a virgin.<br /> My manhood rouses at the thought of being the first inside her. my lips, my tongue, my fingers—every part of me wants to be her first.<br /> She scoots toward me. It's a tiny movement. Soft. More like the Kaylee I know. The sober one.<br /> "Well, it's my birthday." Her fingers curl around my wrist. "And I want a birthday peck."<br /> How about a birthday intercourse? How about a birthday coming on my face until my lips are numb?<br /> "I only give birthday spankings." My voice is steady even though my heart is pounding against my chest.the thought of bending Kaylee over that table and—<br /> "Okay." She presses her lips together. "Let's go. Right here, right now."<br /> "You can handle eighteen?"<br /> She nods.<br /> She can't, but it's tempting anyway...<br /> "Let's go, Brendon." She takes my hand and places it on her hip. Her eyes meet mine. They bore into mine. They demand every thought in my head. Or at least all the ones about stripping her undresed. "Or did I call your bluff?"<br /> "Bend over and plant your hands on the glass if you want to find out." She is calling my bluff. And now I'm calling hers.<br /> Only this is one time—<br /> My sister saves me from my filthy thoughts. She bounces out the door, throws her arms around Kaylee, and pulls her from her seat. "Stop hiding from all the guys at the party."<br /> "Your brother is a guy."<br /> Emma scoffs. Her nose scrunches. It lights up her dark eyes—the same deep brown as mine. She runs her fingers through her violet hair and just barely restrains herself from rolling her eyes.<br /> Kaylee's fingers brush the back of my hand as she turns toward Emma. "Sorry, Em, but it's undeniable. Just look at him."<br /> Emma sticks out her tongue and mouths gross. "Mr. Look What a Brooding Bad Boy I Am will be here tomorrow." She grabs Kaylee's hand and pulls her toward the door. "These other guys won't." Emma looks to me. "You don't have to stay and supervise."<br /> "Nice try," I say.<br /> Emma laughs. She blows me a peck then turns back to her best friend. "Don't wait up."<br /> Kaylee's eyes meet mine. "Did you mean it?"<br /> One part of me did. The rest of me knows better. I play coy. Shrug.<br /> "I'll collect eventually."<br /> "Birthdays only."<br /> "Even so."<br /> I watch her round hips sway as she walks away.<br /> Oh, that dress...<br /> How am I going to get this girl out of my head?<br /> ***<br /> My stomach drops.<br /> Em is pissed.<br /> She's right to be pissed.<br /> And the only thing I can do is insist I'm the adult here.<br /> That's being a parent. I knew what I was signing up for when I lobbied to be her legal guardian.<br /> But that doesn't mean I like it.<br /> Kaylee living here is what makes sense. She's a bright girl with a great future ahead of her. She should be in school. Even if it kills her not being with her family.<br /> "Brendon!" Emma bangs on the door. "I'll give you twenty seconds to explain before I... I don't know. Do something to hurt you back."<br /> "The door is open."<br /> "I know. But—"<br /> We have a strict ask permission before you enter policy. It saves both of us from a lot of awkwardness.<br /> I close my sketchbook. "Come in."<br /> She does. She's fuming. Her face is red. Her eyes are blotchy. Her hands are fists. "Well?"<br /> "Her parents are moving back to Jersey."<br /> Emma raises a brow. And?<br /> "They think she should stay here. Start school right away."<br /> "And you agree with them?"<br /> "Think about it, Em." It's not like I want Kaylee here. I don't trust myself enough to have her in the next room.<br /> It used to be Kaylee was just Emma's friend. She was a girl who was always good for a late-night conversation about books and movies.<br /> But one day, something snapped. She wasn't Emma's friend. She wasn't a girl at all.<br /> She was a woman.<br /> She was still adorable.<br /> But in a intoxicating way.<br /> I've been thinking about her for months.<br /> It's torture every time she spends the night. Every time I see her on the couch in those tiny shorts she sleeps in, hugging her knees to her chest as she loses herself in a book.<br /> It's torture not touching her.<br /> And it's only going to get harder.<br /> I'm a sick man, lusting after the girl I'm supposed to protect.<br /> The girl younger than my kid sister.<br /> But that knowledge hasn't done anything to slow my heart rate when Kay's around.<br /> "Okay. Maybe Kay is better off starting UCLA rather than moving back to New Jersey right away. But you conspired with her parents." Emma folds her arms. "Did you even ask her what she thought?"<br /> I know what Kaylee thinks. If I close my eyes, I can see her miserable and lonely, hiding behind her Kindle the way she always does, pretending like nothing could ever upset her the way she always does.<br /> "I'm your legal guardian." Even if that doesn't matter now that Emma is eighteen. "This is a parent decision."<br /> Emma scowls. "That's a no."<br /> "It's the best option, Em."<br /> "Maybe. But you should have asked her. And me."<br /> "You don't want her here?"<br /> "That's not the point." She turns and spins on her heel. "You should have asked me. Period." She stops at the doorframe. "When is this happening?"<br /> "As soon as possible. Her parents are moving out end of the month."<br /> "You should turn this back into a spare room." Emma nods to my office. "Right away."<br /> "I will."<br /> "And get her an actual copy of the key." Emma's voice softens. "And everything she needs. If you're going to ruin her life, you could at least make her comfortable."<br /> "You think I was gonna leave her on the floor?"<br /> "I didn't think you'd conspire with her parents. How should I know what you'd do?"<br /> "Come by the shop tomorrow. I'll have her key."<br /> "I'll tell her."<br /> "I will."<br /> I pull out my cell and I text Kaylee.<br /> Brendon: You okay?<br /> Kaylee: About what you'd expect.<br /> Brendon: I'm getting a key made for you. I'll leave it at the front desk. You can pick it up whenever.<br /> Kaylee: Thanks. I'll stop by before work.<br /> Brendon: You want to talk about it?<br /> Kaylee: What's there to say? My parents are moving across the country and they aren't asking my opinion about it. I hated it when I was ten, and I hate it now. At least then they invited me to join.<br /> Brendon: Would you move with them if they'd asked?<br /> Kaylee: I don't see how it matters.<br /> Brendon: Your grandma okay?<br /> Kaylee: No. But I'm not in the loop with the details. I have no idea if she has a few weeks left or a few years.<br /> Brendon: I'm sorry she's sick.<br /> Kaylee: Thanks. This isn't on you. You made a generous offer. I do get that. And I appreciate it. Really, Brendon. I do.<br /> Brendon: It's nothing.<br /> Kaylee: It's a lot. I just...<br /> Brendon: Wanted to be consulted?<br /> Kaylee: Want things to be different. But that too. I'm tired. I'm going to go to bed. I'll see you tomorrow.<br /> Brendon: Sweet dreams, Kay.<br /> Kaylee: You too.<br /> The bell rings as Kaylee steps inside the shop.<br /> She's in her work outfit—dark jeans, a black button up shirt, black non-skid shoes.<br /> She hugs her pink purse to her shoulder as her eyes flit around the room.<br /> I want to wrap my arms around her and refuse to let go.<br /> That can't happen.<br /> Neither can a handshake or some equally painful brush off.<br /> Kay and I hug. Period. I need to find a way to be okay with that.<br /> I step out from behind the counter.<br /> She leans in to the gesture.<br /> It's quick but tight.<br /> And, I feel her everywhere.<br /> I have to force myself to pull back. She's a kid. You're supposed to protect her. "You sleeping over tonight?"<br /> "Maybe. Em's trying to convince me to go out. But I think I'd rather crash at home." Her eyes go to the clock. "I gotta go. I'll see you soon."<br /> I nod goodbye.<br /> Watch her hip sway as she walks away.<br /> This time next week, Kaylee is going to live in the room down the hall.<br /> I'm going to have to resist her twenty-four seven.

"You have to be joking." <br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? This had to be some sort of joke. They couldn't possibly be serious. But her parents were not laughing.<br /> "This is no joke. You will be marrying Garrett Hunter."<br /> "I am his fated mate. We're meant to be together. Why would he want to reject me? There must be a mistake!"<br /> "Lily, you're an omega. No respectable Alpha would want you as their Luna. We're saving you the agony of having to deal with your mate having a mistress," her mother explained.<br /> ______________<br /> Lily Bray stood in front of the mirror admiring herself. Her skin glowed from her previous run with the pups of the pack. Even though she was the daughter of the Alpha, she enjoyed helping out with the pups.<br /> 'You should wear the red dress,' Dina, her wolf, suggested.<br /> 'You're just being petty,' Lily replied as she looked at the dresses on her bed. The festive red would be the best choice since all her other dresses were too bright for the winter. She picked it up and looked at herself in the mirror.<br /> 'No, I'm not. Matthew said we look nice in red. We should wear it! It's also one of the colors in his pack,' Dina added.<br /> Lily smiled at the thought of wearing the colors of the Grey Blood Pack. She, of course, was going to be their Luna after the mating ceremony. The very thought of it made her blush. Who would've thought that she would be mated to a future Alpha?<br /> 'We deserve it, no matter our rank! Matthew doesn't care that we are an Omega, so we shouldn't care anymore either,' Dina said confidently, 'Put on the red dress.'<br /> Lily didn't need to be convinced as she quickly began to get dressed. She could hear the clicking of heels and immediately knew who it was before she heard the voice.<br /> "Lily, what's taking you so long?" Her sister, Brandy, yelled from outside her bedroom door.<br /> "Coming!" Lily quickly put on lip gloss and smoothed out the wrinkles in her festive red dress before rushing to the door. She opened it to see Brandy standing there looking uninterested as always.<br /> "Took you long enough," Brandy said. She looked her up and down and her eye twitched slightly before saying, "Cute dress." Anyone that didn't know Brandy would have thought she was complimenting Lily, but Lily knew better. Brandy disapproved of everything she wore and did.<br /> "You're just upset that you couldn't find the dress in your size," Lily retorted. She knew that Brandy was looking at the dress. It wasn't her finest moment to be so petty, but she found some satisfaction from it as Brandy always got what she wanted.<br /> Brandy replied with a scowl, "That dress is old news. I found one that was much better and more fitting for me." She walked past Lily, making sure to bump her with her shoulder. Lily resisted the urge to snarl. She would not let her ruin the evening.<br /> Brandy wore a low-cut black form-fitting dress with black heels. Her hair was pulled up high in a ponytail. She had blush on her cheek, and she wore bright red lipstick.<br /> 'She looks like a street walker and ugly at that,' Dina commented.<br /> 'That's not nice,' Lily responded.<br /> 'It's the truth. You should hear what Mable says about you. Brandy can't even dress decently at home. Who is she flaunting for?' Dina countered.<br /> Dina never liked Brandy as she tormented Lily growing up. Everything had to be her way and if Lily resisted, Brandy made sure to hurt her in some way. As soon as Lily could shift, Dina made it her business to take a swipe at Brandy.<br /> Lily and Brandy entered the dining hall where her parents were. They were sipping spirits and talking but stopped as soon as they entered.<br /> "Oh, you look so lovely!" her mother said to Brandy.<br /> Lily had to refrain from rolling her eyes as Brandy practically glowed from her mother's compliment. Brandy gave Lily a smug look before sitting next to their mother.<br /> Her mother gave Lily a momentary glance before saying, "Oh, Lily. You know, red isn't a good color for you, but at least you've been eating well at school. How are your studies going?"<br /> "I passed all my exams. Straight As again," Lily said happily.<br /> Lily sat down in front of Brandy, her mother, and her father. She thought it was odd that they were sitting across from her but pushed the thought out of her mind.<br /> Her mother casually remarked, "That's lovely, honey," before changing the subject as if concluding a formality. "Do you have that dress I mentioned, Brandy? The one in white?"<br /> "Yes, I did. I got it at a discount too. We had a credit once we returned the other dress," Brandy explained.<br /> Lily lost her enthusiasm when she understood that, yet again, no one was interested in what she had accomplished. She poured herself a glass of spirits and downed it. Lily looked at her father, who seemed too busy to greet her while he was looking at his phone.<br /> 'Do not worry about them. We have mates now. They will be our family,' Dina said to cheer Lily up. Lily only had to look forward to returning to her dorm and the upcoming mating ceremony. She would be where she was wanted, with Matthew.<br /> Her mother and Brandy had been conversing when her father cleared his throat, drawing their attention to him. Her father said, "I am happy that you are doing well in your studies, Lily, but there won't be a need to go back in the Spring."<br /> "What do you mean?" Lily asked.<br /> "Now that you are mated, it is not a productive use of your time. You must get ready to be a devoted mate," Her father responded.<br /> "Well, I can do both. I have already worked it out. I will be able to attend Luna lessons during the day and school at night," Lily explained. She spent a lot of time and effort with the academic advisor to make that arrangement.<br /> "That money could be used for something else, like your sister's mating ceremony," her father proposed.<br /> "Brandy! You have a mate?! That's exciting! Why didn't you tell me? We can go dress shopping together!" Lily exclaimed happily.<br /> Brandy scoffed and said, "You won't need a dress. Daddy, just tell her already. This is just sad."<br /> "Tell me what?" Lily said, looking confused as she turned to look back at her father. "Tell me what, Dad?"<br /> "I had a discussion with Alpha Jack of the Grey Blood Pack. His son, Matthew, will become the new Alpha in a few months. His father and I have agreed that Matthew needs to have a strong mate by his side to lead the pack successfully," Lily's father explained, "And that is not you." <br /> Lily felt as if her whole world had been turned upside down. She didn't know if she wanted to scream or cry. How could they make this decision for her?<br /> "In three days, you will attend the rejection ceremony, and then in a week, you will have a mating ceremony with someone more on your level, his brother, Garrett Hunter."<br /> Lily stared in horror at her father. She couldn't make sense of what he was saying. Why would Matthew reject her? When they talked on the phone all day, he never mentioned it.<br /> "You're joking," Lily said. "You have to be joking." <br /> Her father scowled at her because he disliked repeating himself. He paused for a moment to collect himself before saying, "This is no joke. You will be marrying Garrett Hunter."<br /> When Lily heard her father say those words, her heart sank. "I am his fated mate. We're meant to be together. Why would he want to reject me? There must be a mistake!"<br /> "Lily, you're an omega. No respectable Alpha would want you as their Luna. We're saving you the agony of having to deal with your mate having a mistress," her mother explained, "and it's not like you won't have a mate."<br /> "It's what you deserve, Lily. Garrett is perfect for you," Brandy said smugly. <br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? This had to be some sort of joke. They couldn't possibly be serious. But her parents were not laughing.<br /> Lily slid her seat back and stood up. She ran back to her room, slamming the door behind her. Brandy stood up to bring her back downstairs, but her mother stopped her.<br /> "Leave her alone. There is nowhere she can go. This is something she must accept," her mother stated.<br /> "Pick up the phone, Matthew. Come on!" Lily murmured as she dialed his number for the tenth time. It just rang again and again until it went to voicemail. Lily didn't bother leaving another voicemail because she had already left five.<br /> Lily sighed in frustration and tossed her phone to the floor before pacing the room. Why would her parents subject her to such cruelty? Wasn't it enough that they treated her like trash because she was an omega? But now they were going to take this away from her as well?!<br /> Lily nearly crashed into the wall to get to her phone when it buzzed on the bed. Her heart sank again when she realized it was Tiffany, not Matthew, calling. Lily answered the phone.<br /> "Hey girlie! It has been hours. What was the dinner about? Are you..." Tiffany started.<br /> Lily interjected and said, "Can I come over? I can't stay here. Please say yes."<br /> Hearing her tone, Tiffany became serious and asked, "What's wrong? Your sister is bothering you again?"<br /> "No. It's much worse. Please tell me I can come over," Lily pleaded.<br /> "Yes, you can come. I am not leaving for my parents' until tomorrow. Where are you? I can come to get you," Tiffany offered.<br /> "No. I will come to you," Lily said, "Thank you." She quickly hung up the phone. Lily went to her closet and grabbed an overnight bag. She yanked her dress off and changed into a t-shirt and workout pants.<br /> Lily then began packing items she didn't want to lose and enough clothes to get her through the holidays. She had no intention of coming back here.<br /> The door to her bedroom swung open, causing Lily to jump. She turned to see Mira, one of the omegas working in the kitchen. Mira placed her finger on her lips before she slowly closed the door behind her.<br /> "They told you," Mira said. It was more of a statement than a question. It made Lily sick to her stomach. Everyone had been smiling in her face. Did everyone but her know? It was humiliating that this was kept from her. "I was commanded not to tell you. I really wanted to."<br /> "It's fine, Mira. I know you wouldn't betray me," Lily responded. It would be physically impossible for Mira to go against a command. Perhaps if she were a Gamma or even a Beta, but as an Omega, the pain of it would have killed her wolf, which would've killed her.<br /> "I won't let them force me," Lily declared. "I can't let them take one of the only things that have made me happy."<br /> Mira and Lily grew very close growing up. As they were both omegas and Lily was excluded from high-ranking wolf activities, she spent most of her time with Mira. Mira's father, the pack doctor, was the reason she wanted to become a doctor in the first place.<br /> "Then, let me help you," Mira said, "I can get you out of here. They planned to leave you alone for the rest of the weekend."<br /> "You can't. If they find out..."<br /> "They'll assume I helped you even if I didn't. I'll be beaten no matter what, but I won't die," Mira countered, interrupting her. "Dad is already outside with a car to take you wherever you want to go."<br /> Lily hugged Mira tightly. Mira smiled slightly, wanting to go with her, but she was bound to the pack grounds. Leaving or even going rogue would harm her father's position in the pack. She couldn't risk it.<br /> "Thank you, Mira," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany opened her front door to see Lily standing like a beat dog in her doorway. Lily waved to the car that drove away. Tiffany pulled her into her home and quickly closed the door. Lily immediately began sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> "Lily, what's going on? What happened?" Tiffany asked, leading her to the sofa. She had already prepared Lily's favorite meal as well as hot cocoa.<br /> "They are trying to force me into a rejection ceremony," Lily managed to say.<br /> "What? Why? They can't do that. It'd be spitting in the Goddess' face. You could end up cursed or worse," Tiffany exclaimed.<br /> "They don't care. They don't think I'd be a fit for him because I'm an omega," Lily stated.<br /> "That's not up to them. That's up to the Goddess, and the Goddess wants you and Matthew to be together," Tiffany stated.<br /> "They don't see it that way. They..." Lily stopped in mid sentence as a horrible pain gripped her chest. She gasped as she clutched her chest and tried to slow her breathing.<br /> "Lily? Is it one of your panic attacks?" Tiffany asked.<br /> Lily could only nod, unable to speak as she concentrated on breathing as the pain radiated through her. She suffered from panic attacks for a long time. Lily assumed it was because of stress. It would eventually fade, thanks to Dina's assistance.<br /> Lily gasped in relief as the pain began to fade, and she said, "I'm okay now."<br /> "You need to speak with Matthew. You two can elope, and they won't be able to do anything about it,"<br /> "Elope?"<br /> "Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Tiffany asked as she walked Lily out of her apartment. She didn't want to leave her in such a terrible situation.<br /> "No, I need to do this alone," Lily answered with a weak smile. She couldn't get in contact with Matthew all night. Lily needed to speak with him. Whatever happened between her and Matthew, she would have to deal with it alone. Lily didn't want to get her too caught up in her family drama.<br /> "Well, you know where my spare key is," Tiffany said.<br /> "Don't worry about me. I'll be okay. Matthew and I will elope, and everything will be fine," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany smiled slightly, but Lily noticed that her eyes looked somewhat sad. She had known Tiffany long enough to know that she was holding back. Before Lily could ask Tiffany what she was thinking, Lily's cab arrived.<br /> Tiffany hugged her again and said, "Keep me updated. You know my parents will accept you with open arms. They said the offer is still open if you want to join my pack."<br /> Lily nodded and got into the cab. She waved goodbye before telling the cab driver, "10 Armstead Place." The cab driver nodded and drove off.<br /> The drive didn't take long. All the while, she could feel a stabbing pain in her chance. It was another anxiety attack. She had never felt so bad before.<br /> "Ma'am, are you okay?" the cab driver asked, noticing her distress.<br /> "Yes, I am fine. Thank you," Lily answered. "Just having a little panic attack, I think."<br /> 'It's the stress,' Dina said to her. 'I am doing everything I can to dull it. I can't reach Baldur. I don't know why he isn't responding to me. Do you think our father or maybe his father did something?'<br /> Baldur was Matthew's wolf. He was as happy as Dina when they learned that they were mates. As much as Lily and Matthew talked on the phone, Dina and Baldur communicated more telepathically.<br /> 'It could be. I can't believe it. I don't want to believe that Matthew would agree to this. Maybe he is cutting off all communication because he doesn't want anyone to find him. No one knows about his apartment in the city,' Lily responded.<br /> The city was a neutral zone for all supernatural creatures. Pack hierarchy or mutual dislike of different races wasn't tolerated here. The elders made it a point that all supernatural children grew up aware of others to squash any ignorance. It was a good idea in theory, but many outside factors were at play. People couldn't help but judge one another.<br /> "We're here," the cab driver said, bringing Lily out of her thoughts. She pulled out $40 from her wallet and said, "Keep the change." She got out of the car and rushed up the steps to Matthew's apartment.<br /> Lily had been there more than once over the weekend. Her family never knew when she was home, and she wanted to keep it that way. When it would get bad at home, Matthew was a reprieve for her as Lily didn't want to have to deal with her family any more than she had to.<br /> Lily quickly grabbed the spare key under the mat and opened the door. She stepped into his apartment, and the pain seemed to intensify. Lily gripped her chest and almost fell face-first into the carpet. She used the wall to move further into his apartment.<br /> There was a smell that she couldn't quite place. It made her hackles rise. She felt angry for no reason.<br /> 'Find him now,' Dina growled within her.<br /> 'What's wrong?' Lily asked, but Dina only responded with a growl.<br /> "Oh, Matthew, deeper! Oh, yes! Pull my hair!"<br /> An all-too-familiar voice broke the silence, and Lily could now hear the slapping of skin. As she approached his bedroom, it became increasingly louder. Lily swallowed hard as she tried to process what she was hearing and what she didn't want to believe was happening. Lily's hand shivered as she was about to place her hand on the door.<br /> 'We must see this,' Dina growled. 'Open the door.'<br /> Lily slowly pushed open the door. There in front of her was Brandy, her sister, on all knees, back arched, while her fated mate was thrusting in her with abandon. Brandy lifted her head and smirked at Lily. It finally clicked now.<br /> Matthew didn't answer his phone because he was with her.<br /> The anxiety attacks, the waves of pain were Matthew making love to her.<br /> Lily was almost catatonic as she watched the betrayal before her eyes. This was supposed to be her. She had waited years for him, and here he was having intercourse with this bimbo in front of her.<br /> "Oh, I'm coming," Matthew groaned as he released into Brandy. Brandy's eyes rolled in satisfaction as she bounced back against Matthew, milking him of every drop.<br /> Lily gripped the side of the door frame, her claws going straight through as she tried to compose herself. The sudden movement caused Matthew to look up. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw her.<br /> "Oh hello, sister. Did you enjoy the show?" Brandy mocked as Lily walked into the room. Lily said nothing as she approached Brandy. With all her might, Lily slapped Brandy hard enough to send her into the headboard.<br /> "You bimbo!" Brandy yelled as she gripped her head in pain. Lily slapped her again before Matthew caught her wrist. She used her other hand to slap Matthew across the face with strength she didn't know she had. Her claws left gashes on the side of his face.<br /> "Lily, what the heck?" Matthew exclaimed.<br /> "Don't ever speak to us, you filthy dog," Lily growled out. Her eyes were silver as it was Dina now talking. "All this time, you betrayed us for this bimbo!"<br /> "You have to understand, Lily. I didn't have a choice. I..."<br /> "Enough of your lies! I will go through with the rejection ceremony. We can do it tonight because I want to be rid of you. I'll take whatever curse the Goddess dishes out!" Lily screamed before storming out, leaving the door wide open.<br /> "Don't you think that is inappropriate?" Kenneth asked his Luna from the doorway of their bedroom. <br /> "Not at all. It is a joyous occasion," Mandy said as she applied burgundy lipstick and stood up. She brushed the wrinkles out of her blue sweater dress as she looked herself over in the mirror before approaching him with a slight smile. "You should change. That suit is so depressing."<br /> "The suit is proper attire for the custom. You shouldn't take this much glee in her suffering," Kenneth responded, causing Mandy to frown. <br /> Mandy scoffed and said, "Don't try to act like you care about the little brat now. Don't be a hypocrite. You could care less and this arrangement will benefit the both of us."<br /> "At least make it believable in front of the Hunters," Kenneth reasoned. Mandy rolled her eyes. Of course she would behave. What kind of idiot did he take her for?<br /> "Come. You wouldn't want to keep Lily waiting," Mandy said condescendingly. <br /> Again, Kenneth didn't respond and followed Mandy to the entertainment hall. Both packs were in attendance. Both acknowledged their presence, showing their necks to them both. <br /> Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly looked agitated by the entire situation. The Luna of Grey Blood Pack was very against the rejection ceremony. However, she didn't have much say in the situation since both Alphas agreed to it. <br /> "Where is she?" Kenneth asked one of the omegas that were serving spirits. <br /> "She is coming, my Alpha. We are watching her closely. There is no chance she will run away again," the omega answered. <br /> Kenneth nodded and walked to the stage with Jack following behind him. He took a spoon to his spirits glass to get everyone's attention. <br /> "Thank you for joining us here tonight to celebrate the union of two great packs," Kenneth began and turned to Jack, "It is an honor that our packs will be united." <br /> "Yes, we look forward to our unified strength," Jack nodded. <br /> "Lily, Brandy, and Matthew Hunter, please come up here," Kenneth said. <br /> Brandy quickly came to greet her father. Kenneth frowned at her attire as he reluctantly hugged her. She was always scantily clad, even after telling her to dress appropriately for the occasion. <br /> 'Like mother, like daughter,' Kenneth's wolf, Jasper, said before growling in irritation at seeing Matthew. Kenneth had recently learned that Matthew had been sleeping with Brandy behind Lily's back. As a father and a believer of old customs, he wanted to choke him, but it was better this way. At least one of his daughters would be a proper Luna.<br /> 'We should tear his throat out for humiliating Lily,' Jasper growled.<br /> 'Calm down,' Kenneth told him.<br /> 'You're a pathetic father,' Jasper responded before blocking himself from Kenneth like he always did. <br /> After a few minutes, Lily did not show. Kenneth frowned and he spoke over the microphone, "Where is Lily? Bring her here!" He didn't need her defying him in front of both packs. This union had to happen. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Matthew stood on the stage awkwardly. He didn't expect that both packs would be here for this. Matthew assumed that this would be a private affair, but he knew his mother had to have had a hand in this. <br /> Kelly had been horrified and disappointed in Matthew when she discovered that Matthew had been sleeping with Lily's little sister. No one in their line had ever denied the Moon Goddess' will up until now. The only thing that calmed her was that Lily would still marry into the pack. <br /> Matthew didn't really want to be mated with Brandy. He just wanted to have fun before he was forever bound to Lily. However, he understood why his father wanted him to mate Mandy instead. An Alpha had to be seen as strong. A weak Luna was a liability. He could not rule a pack with an omega Luna.<br /> 'It is not the right choice!' Baldur growled within him. 'Why did the Moon Goddess curse me to be bonded to you until death? She is meant for us! You know it!'<br /> 'There is nothing we can do now. It is done,' Matthew responded.<br /> 'You fool. You're going to regret this.' Baldur warned before Matthew suppressed him again like he always did when he didn't want to hear what he had to say. <br /> After Kenneth and his father Jack's speech, there was a pause as they waited for Lily to appear. She had not shown up, which infuriated Kenneth. As he demanded to know where Lily was, her voice rang out. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Lily emerged from the crowd, taking Matthew's breath away. There were murmurs from the crowd as they watched Lily. She wore a simple form-fitting strapless white dress with an overlay of lace. Her hair was pulled up in a bun, and a white veil covered her face. Lily wore her wedding dress to the rejection ceremony. <br /> When she got to the stage, she hugged her father, ignored Mandy, and curtsied to Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly before taking her position in front of Matthew. Lily kept a calm expression, but Matthew could see the fury in Lily's eyes. <br /> "Lily, I..." Matthew started, but she raised her hand, stopping him. <br /> Lily gave her hand to Jack and nodded to him. Jack smirked. This little female had sass. It was a shame that she was not an Alpha. Jack took the ceremonial blade and cut her palm. Matthew gave his hand to Kenneth, and he cut Matthew's hand. <br /> "I... I..." Matthew stammered. He found that he could not bring himself to say the words. Everything in him told him it was wrong. "Father, I can't. I..."<br /> "I, Lily Bray, the first-born daughter of Alpha Kenneth Bray, and my wolf, Dina, reject you, Matthew Hunter, the first-born son of Kenneth Hunter, and your wolf Baldur for your betrayal of our mate bond with my sister, Brandy," Lily said firmly as she grabbed Matthew's hand. "Do you accept?"

Her next words took both of them by surprise. She was anything but weak and she knew she deserved a lot better than some douche bag who was disrespectful towards his own mate. Alpha or not, he shouldn't be the one who gets the last laugh.<br /> ***<br /> Nikolina POV<br /> 4 hours earlier<br /> I woke up in a very good mood. I am finally eighteen and today is the day I find my mate. It actually depends on both sides. If they are of age, they'll find each other soon enough, seventeen is the youngest you can be when you find your mate.<br /> However, most of the time, the guy or the girl have to wait for their other half to come of age, which I think is a great idea.<br /> Yes, I'm a werewolf, specifically the current Beta's daughter and soon to be Beta's sister. The disappointment of the family. But that's okay; I'm not very inclined to make them proud or follow in their footsteps, but mostly they want Alex to do it.<br /> Don't get me wrong. I'm not abused or bullied; except for the occasional remarks, shunned from society, the usual stuff.<br /> They say I'm ugly, but I know better than to believe that. I could have been popular due to my blue eyes and gold speckles, blonde hair and hourglass figure. But I like to keep to myself. Plus my hair was naturally blonde unlike my mother's peroxide bleached hair that comes out of bottles and pricey extensions. Actually, dad and Alex both have brown hair so I don't know how I have blonde hair. For months, I even checked the roots of my hair to find some sort of discoloration to prove that even my hair was bleached. But in vain.<br /> My mom was the stereotypical cheerleader in high school while my dad was the “douche” and quarterback. Apparently they want me to be like them, and social hierarchy exists in packs as well. And my brother is following our parents footsteps, sleeping with more than half of the population, while I'm not.<br /> They revel in attention and bullying people who are lower than them, as they say. To the outside world, my family and I love each other. On the inside it’s an extreme hate relationship, something the pack is aware of except for the Alpha and Luna.<br /> If they knew the truth, my parents, Tiffany and Mark, would lose their respect and beloved Alex's position would be taken away from him. Which would obviously take his popularity down a notch. Horrifying for him. Entertaining for me.<br /> Anyways, today is also the soon-to-be Alpha's eighteenth birthday. James Rodriguez.<br /> Sometimes I wonder how someone as sweet and kind as Diana and George, produce a kid like James.<br /> In short, James is the snobby player. It’s actually really surprising how none of the girls are pregnant yet...<br /> Back to me, I dressed up with more care than usual. I wore a baby pink sundress with black gladiator sandals. I applied a bit of winged liner to make my eyes pop. I've always read stories about loving mates. Who knows how much of it is true? For all I know, it’s some made up fantasy to make mates seem like the ultimate endgame. Maybe one day, I would meet my mate and then we could run away towards the sunset............or something, I don't really care.<br /> Apparently, all mates are compatible with their other half. It’s like love at first sight and the males getting all possessive about their mates is very appealing and a turn on, or so I've heard.<br /> It's all hearsay. And I think it’s stupid. It’s like the males are all custom made robots. Why else would their behavior be so alike?<br /> And there was a paragraph about heat and shifting and marking. Maybe, my mate's gonna go all caveman on me and tear my throat out.<br /> I'm just kidding, morbid thoughts on my birthday are kind of my thing. And its wishful thinking. I don't care. He might even be an omega and I still wouldn't care. Even if he's a human, it wouldn't matter. And if he's not in this pack then..... Oh well... It's better for me. I don't want to stay in a pack where I have no respect and people treat me bad. Status had once mattered to me. But when you have parents like mine, you kind of start praying not to ever be like them.<br /> Not once did they look at me but of course, Alexander was doted on by everyone. Kids. Parents. Friends. You name it.<br /> Apparently, it's because he's a boy. And according to my mother, girls are good for getting screwed, getting hit on, obeying their men, acting flirty along, and popping out heirs.<br /> And lucky for you all, my mother happens to be exhibit A.<br /> You should all be jealous because it's not everyday that you have a live walking, talking example to show the word and tell them what a hoe your mother is.<br /> Third Person POV <br /> Nikolina walked to school as she was not allowed a car. Though Alex was the proud owner of a shiny Silver Volvo. Double standards were very common in the Reed family. She had always wanted her own car, something that was a stunning shade of bright canary yellow, but that dream was nowhere close to becoming a reality.<br /> All of a sudden, she smelt an amazing scent; peppermint and honey. Lydia purred and rolled around in happiness, barely able to contain her excitement.<br /> On searching for the source, her eyes met warm, hazel orbs. His eyes expressed lust and adoration as they raked all over her body.<br /> Realization finally hit her hard when she saw that James-freaking-Rodriguez was her mate! The next Alpha of Solaris Eclipse Pack. And he was Portia's long-standing boyfriend.<br /> You know what he did next? James went back to groping the head cheerleader. “Portia.... “ Oh, sorry. Rookie mistake. Portia Scott.<br /> Tears threatened to fall while her wolf Lydia whimpered, seeing her mate touch another...<br /> “Our mate is beautiful.” James's wolf, Jace said. Nikolina was more than just beautiful. Many males of the pack thought she was gorgeous but never mentioned it out loud due to the fear of facing Alex's wrath. Alex was the one to start it all: the petty insults, the hateful words and making an outcast out of her. Others had just followed his footsteps. And of course, some of the girls were shallow enough to find happiness by making Nikolina feel miserable, because they were insecure about themselves.<br /> But the main issue was, though James thought Nikolina was pretty, he would never accept her as his mate and Luna. Though she was Beta Mark's daughter and was of high status, both him and his ego considered her a nobody. He knew about the insults and he had done it as well. In his eyes, she was worthless and all everyone ever did was talk down on her and she never fought back.<br /> He couldn't have a... thing like that as his mate. Beauty just wasn't enough for him, being a ruthless woman was a requirement.<br /> “She might be beautiful but I don't want her. She's a nobody. If people know that she is my mate, I would become the laughing stock of my pack. Seriously, people walk all over her. She can never be my Luna.” That was the thought going through his mind as he sucked on Portia's neck hard enough to bruise.<br /> “Ow! You're hurting me, boo! You know Kelly has my concealer today.” Portia whined but still made no move to shove James away. She just proceeded to grind her lower body into James and trying to get as close as humanly possible without getting rid of her clothes in public.<br /> James finally pried Portia off his body and walked towards his mate. In some ways, Portia was like a bloodsucking leech or an annoying wart, never leaving without a fight.<br /> “Baby, where are you going? I need you!” Her voice was like a cat dragging its claws across a board.<br /> James just signalled her to shut up before walking towards his mate. He would do the right thing, of course, as the future Alpha of Solaris Eclipse Pack and give Nikolina what she deserves.<br /> He stopped in front of her and asked, “What's your name?”<br /> “Nikolina,” she stated. He soon noticed that she had no friends and no car and he felt the curious stares on his back as everyone's attention was on him.<br /> “I, James Rodriguez, soon to be alpha of Eclipse Pack reject you, Nikolina Reed as my mate and Luna. “ As he rejected her, Jace whimpered and cowered. And James felt bad but he knew this was the right thing to do for himself and the pack. From his perspective, Nikolina was someone who brought out the worst in people and Portia was way more deserving to be his mate and Luna, considering that she was fearless and wasn't afraid to fight dirty for her rights.<br /> James was an egoistic douche bag who mistook petty behavior for fearless but he was blinded by the greed for power and popularity.<br /> The pain was blinding for Nikolina. She would have collapsed if not for the anger that surged through her. She was furious. At James. The Moon Goddess. Not realizing how painful rejection was. Her fate. It was a never ending list.<br /> It felt like she was being drowned in liquid bleach, her lungs burned and she saw red. Anger took over the pain she was feeling and she didn't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing how hurt she was.<br /> Her next words took both of them by surprise. She was anything but weak and she knew she deserved a lot better than some douche bag who was disrespectful towards his own mate. Alpha or not, he shouldn't be the one who gets the last laugh.<br /> “I, Nikolina Reed, accept your rejection as my mate and Alpha. I sincerely hope you get the clap!”<br /> With that, she turned on her heel and left the school premises.<br /> “Who needs a mate? Especially someone like James. People like him need girls like Portia by their sides, who cater to their whims and needs and whatever freaky carnal desire they might have.” Nikolina thought darkly. She wasn't going to give in to her pain and this rejection was the final push that encouraged her to chase after her freedom and break bonds with the family who had clipped off her wings.<br /> James felt a tiny bit of hurt realizing that she didn't even think twice before accepting the rejection and all he could wonder was how did she not burst into tears or grovel at his feet to take her back. Jace did not talk. He just whimpered, feeling the loss of his mate. Before James could think of it anymore, Portia dragged him to an empty classroom to distract her beloved Jamie boo. It seemed as if James wasn't the least bit affected by the incident with Nikolina, because his actions didn't falter as he hitched Portia's skirt up and ripped her panties, drilling her like an animal and releasing himself on her clothes and face as he left her alone to clean up.<br /> Nikolina POV<br /> “Well, he can go drill his toy as much as he wants.” I thought darkly while making my way towards home. All Lydia did was whimper. The moment I saw James, I knew something like this was bound to happen. You don't have any expectations when someone like him is supposed to be your destined mate. He was born with a big ego and he can just stuff it up his.<br /> “Maybe he regrets hurting us, you know.” Lydia whimpered.<br /> Before I could reply, searing hot pain flooded my senses. I felt myself fall on the pavement and the pain started to become more intense. It is obvious, isn't it? He's already drilling someone just minutes after rejecting me. It felt like my body was set on fire and the blistering flames charred my skin.<br /> I slowly got up and almost keeled over as my vision turned white. Dizziness washed over me. I had to clench my fists and dig my fingers hard enough to draw blood. Getting away from him and this stupid pack is my best bet. He was doing it intentionally considering the fact he knows that we're both connected unless one of us dies or gets marked by another. Walking never felt so strenuous and with every step I had to force myself to not curl up on the pavement and cry. I know I deserve someone better but I did want to cry my pain away.<br /> After what seemed like hours, the pain slowly ebbed away. Painful times ahead. The only problem is that the mate bond doesn't break even after being rejected. Only if the rejected is marked by the first mate or by another, or if one of the mates die, will the bond break.<br /> I entered my house and went to my room to pack my bags. You know, in every werewolf story the rejected mate writes letters before leaving. There's no logic to it. I mean, don't you get it? No one cares if you leave. No one cares if you die. No one cares if you slit your throat or get molested or murdered. That's the harsh truth. Why should I open my feelings on a letter make them feel pity? I can just run away and live my best life, away from them. It's not like they will send out search teams for you.<br /> I don't want pity. I can do better than that. I picked up my red lipstick and wrote in capitals before leaving. I know I'm dramatic but it serves them right. They'll remember this for years to come: women can walk away without feeling a twinge of guilt or regret.<br /> Showing vulnerability would only make me seem weak and I've let people walk over me way too many times.<br /> My mom was probably busy getting her hair done or something. That's the only thing she ever does. Or her nails. Or maybe she was out shopping with snobby people like herself. It's obvious that birds of a feather flock together. The only thing I ever liked about her is that she cooked for us, sometimes. Mom made a mean lasagna.<br /> Dad was probably with Alpha George. That's usually where he is. But then again, he also has this terrible habit of getting drunk during daylight hours. And once he even groped some other girl in front of the whole pack. Mom turned an ugly shade of red as she kicked him in the crotch. Those were the good days. It was fun when he laid on the couch with a bag of frozen peas on his groin and mom was nowhere around.<br /> Leaving was better for me anyway. Nothing was tying me down to this place. No friends. No proper family. I would be doing myself and them a favor.<br /> I took my dad's sleek black Porsche for my escapade. I might as well leave loaded and in style, besides it's high time I had a car.<br /> Just as I reached the pack border, I said, “I, Nikolina Reed, break all ties with the Solaris Eclipse Pack.” The patrol guards looked at me, but its not like they would stop me.<br /> The pack links broke and with that I revved up the engine and sped through the borders, driving towards my new life. A better life. It was a blessing that this pack did not care enough to stop me.<br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> To enjoy more: Download our APP, search audiobook id 99168 and hear the complete version!

Mitch asked.<br /> "You lied to me that's what," Kelly said.<br /> "You didn't go out of town yesterday," Kate said.<br /> "I called your dad," Kelly said.<br /> "Kel, baby, I'm sorry," Mitch said.<br /> "It was our three year wedding anniversary yesterday and you couldn't come home and made up some excuse, where were you," Kelly said.<br /> "I went on a road trip to get something for you," Mitch said.<br /> "What did you get," Kelly said.<br /> "It's outside," Mitch said.<br /> "Mitch," Kelly said.<br /> "Kel, come on," Mitch said. She shook her head and got up and walked out the door and went to the front door and opened it and and saw it.<br /> "What the?" Kelly asked.<br /> "It's the one you wanted right?" Mitch asked.<br /> "Yes," Kelly said.<br /> "I found it at a car dealership about two hours away," Mitch said.<br /> "But there are dealerships here," Kelly said.<br /> "They didn't have your color baby," Mitch said.<br /> "Mitch," Kelly said.<br /> "Happy Anniversary, baby," Mitch said.<br /> "Wow, I guess this made up for missing the actual day," Kate said.<br /> "Kate," Kelly said.<br /> "Baby," Ryan said.<br /> "It's fine, I'll be making it up to her for awhile, this is a start, next week is birthdays," Mitch said.<br /> "Better not come up with an excuse to forget it," Kate said.<br /> "No because she is going with me to the Maldives," Mitch said.<br /> "What?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Happy Early Birthday baby, a second honeymoon," Mitch said.<br /> "Okay I was wrong," Kate said.<br /> "What's that, Kate?" Mitch asked.<br /> "Sis," Kelly said.<br /> "Sorry," Kate said. Kelly looked at her husband and hugged him tight. He buried his face in her neck.<br /> "I love you and I'm sorry about yesterday," Mitch said.<br /> "Just don't do it again," Kelly said.<br /> "I promise baby," Mitch said. He pecked her and they went for a drive.<br /> Two weeks later, Kelly walked into the bakery after coming home from the trip she and Mitch took. Sarah and Tara were there.<br /> "Hello ladies," Kelly said.<br /> "Hey girl, how was the trip?" Tara asked.<br /> "Amazing, it was like our honeymoon all over again," Kelly said.<br /> "So you guys never left the bed?" Sarah asked.<br /> "Oh we did, we would do things like snorkeling at the Banana Reef, went to the beach, swimming, romantic dinners, and every night we would be in bed making love," Kelly said.<br /> "So babies could be coming soon?" Tara asked.<br /> "I'm still on the pill, he still says he's not ready yet," Kelly said.<br /> "Kel, you have a visitor," Tara said.<br /> "Who is it?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Matt," Tara said. Kelly got up and went out and saw her brother-in-law standing at the counter drinking coffee.<br /> "Matt," Kelly said.<br /> "Hey beautiful, I've missed you," Matthew said.<br /> "Oh you have huh," Kelly said.<br /> "Yeah, heard you just got back from a trip with your husband," Matthew said.<br /> "Your brother yes I did," Kelly said.<br /> "Have a good time?" Matthew asked.<br /> "Yes I did, it was a second honeymoon," Kelly said.<br /> "That's great, so you guys making me an uncle soon?" Matthew asked.<br /> "Not yet," Kelly said.<br /> "Hey guys," Benjamin said<br /> "Hey Ben," Kelly said.<br /> "Hey boys what's up?" Sarah asked.<br /> "Hey Sarah, just a coffee to go, I've got to get back to the job site," Benjamin said.<br /> "I better get back to the office, see ya sis," Matthew said.<br /> "Bye Matt," Kelly said.<br /> "How are you gorgeous," Benjamin said.<br /> "I'm good, how's the job?" Kelly asked.<br /> "It's going very well," Benjamin said.<br /> "That's good," Kelly said.<br /> "I better get going, gorgeous, see you soon," Benjamin said. He went out the door and she looked at the girls.<br /> "Gorgeous? Beautiful? I think they have the hots for you," Tara said.<br /> "They've always called me those names and Mitch knows and agreed of them calling me," Kelly said.<br /> "He's okay with his brothers calling you gorgeous and beautiful," Tara said.<br /> "Yeah because he knows that nothing will happen with them, he trusts me and he trusts his brothers, he knows they won't cross the boundaries," Kelly said.<br /> "Yet," Sarah said.<br /> "What," Kelly said.<br /> "They both were looking at you," Tara said.<br /> "Both were eye watching you," Sarah said.<br /> "Oh yeah," Tara said.<br /> "They wouldn't do that to their brother," Kelly said.<br /> "They both want you in their bed," Sarah said.<br /> "You both are wrong, okay, you are wrong," Kelly said. She went to the office and sat down and worked on some bills.<br /> Three days later, Kelly was at the bakery helping a customer when Benjamin came in.<br /> "Hey gorgeous," Benjamin said.<br /> "Hi Ben," Kelly said.<br /> "How's my favorite sister-in-law doing?" Benjamin asked.<br /> "I'm fine and I'm your only sister-in-law," Kelly said.<br /> "I know that, that's why you are my favorite one," Benjamin said.<br /> "Hey Ben," Sarah said.<br /> "Sarah, how are you," Benjamin said.<br /> "I'm good," Sarah said.<br /> "Are you ready?" Benjamin asked.<br /> "Yeah, is it okay for me to go, Kel?" Sarah asked.<br /> "You guys got a date?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Yeah I asked her the other day," Benjamin said.<br /> "Go on, have a good time," Kelly said.<br /> "Okay see ya tomorrow," Sarah said.<br /> "Bye sis!" Benjamin said. They left and Kelly smiled and cleaned the counter.<br /> "Hey beautiful," Matthew said.<br /> "Matt, what's up?" Kelly asked.<br /> "I came to see my favorite sister-in-law," Matthew said.<br /> "As I told Ben, I'm your only sister-in-law," Kelly said.<br /> "And I'm sure he said that it makes you our favorite," Matthew said.<br /> "Yeah so what would you like?" Kelly asked.<br /> "A latte please sis," Matthew said.<br /> "Coming right up," Kelly said.<br /> "Hey baby, hey bro," Mitch said.<br /> "Hey bro," Matthew said.<br /> "Hey what brings you by?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Just letting you know that I'll be working late," Mitch said.<br /> "Oh babe," Kelly said.<br /> "I'm sorry baby," Mitch said.<br /> "It's fine, I'll be okay," Kelly said.<br /> "If you have to work late, how did you manage to get away?" Matthew asked.<br /> "I took a lunch break and came here to tell her, I didn't want to tell her over the phone," Mitch said.<br /> "And I appreciate you coming to tell me, babe," Kelly said. He came over to her and hugged her close and pecked her softly.<br /> "I will text you when I'm headed home okay, I know you have an early morning so you don't need to wait up for me," Mitch said.<br /> "Okay, love you," Kelly said.<br /> "Love you baby," Mitch said. He pecked her and went out the door. Matthew looked at her and smiled.<br /> After work，<br /> Kelly drove to Mitch's office with some food and went to his office and heard sounds coming from inside and she opened the door slowly and saw something that made her heart break. Her husband slept with his assistant on his desk.<br /> "What were you doing, Mitch!" Kelly said.<br /> "Oh god Kel!" Mitch said. He pulled away and got dressed as did his assistant. She threw the bag of food at him.<br /> "I can't believe you!" Kelly said.<br /> "Baby please," Mitch said.<br /> "Don't call me that, not anymore, we are done! It's over!" Kelly yelled. She ran out the door and got on the elevator and the doors closed and she ran out when she got on the ground floor.<br /> "Leave me alone!" Kelly yelled. She went to Kate's house and went to the door and knocked. Ryan opened it and saw her.<br /> "Kel, sis, what happened?" Ryan asked. She broke down crying and he pulled her in and closed the door.<br /> "I took food to Mitch at his office and found him sleeping with his assistant on his desk," Kelly said crying.<br /> "Oh my god, he's so dead!" Ryan said.<br /> "No he's not worth it, I told him I was done," Kelly said.<br /> Three days later, Kelly went home and found him there sitting on the couch. She went to the bedroom and began packing her bags. She sent a quick text as she packed. He came to the door.<br /> "Kelly please," Mitch said.<br /> "Don't! I don't want to hear any excuses, there is no excuse for what you did, how long has it been going on?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Kelly," Mitch said.<br /> "How long?!" Kelly yelled.<br /> "Three months," Mitch said.<br /> "And you said you loved me," Kelly said.<br /> "I do!" Mitch said.<br /> "No you don't or you never would have slept with her in the first place! No man who says he loves his wife would ever cheat on her! You are not a man, you are nothing!" Kelly yelled.<br /> "Mitch!" Matthew yelled. Matthew cam and pulled his brother away from the door.<br /> "Matt," Mitch said.<br /> "I heard what you did, how could you do that!" Matthew said.<br /> "It was a mistake!" Mitch said.<br /> "A mistake is one time, three months isn't!" Matthew said.<br /> "How did you find out?" Mitch asked.<br /> "From her sister, she told me when I went to get coffee this morning," Matthew said.<br /> "Matt," Mitch said.<br /> "Leave her be, Mitch, go for a walk for an hour and let her get her things out," Matthew said.<br /> "I'm not giving her a divorce," Mitch said.<br /> "You better," Kelly said.<br /> "I don't want to lose you!" Mitch said.<br /> "You lost me the moment you put your private part inside Delia," Kelly said.<br /> "Go Mitch now!" Matthew said.<br /> "Get him out, I'll help her finish up and get her stuff in her car," Matthew said. Harris pulled Mitch out the door. Matthew went to Kelly and she broke down in his arms.<br /> "Oh beautiful it will be all right, let's get your stuff and get out of here," Matthew said. They finished packing up her stuff and got it all in her car and his.<br /> "Thank you Matt," Kelly said.<br /> "You're welcome, now where are you staying? Matthew asked.<br /> "I was staying at Kate's, being there for her and Ryan, she's having a rough time with her pregnancy," Kelly said.<br /> "Let's go then," Matthew said. They went to Kate's house and got out. Ryan came out.<br /> "Hey Matt," Ryan said.<br /> "Hey man, got her stuff here," Matthew said.<br /> "Let's get it inside," Ryan said. They got her stuff moved into the house and she got her clothes in the bedroom and the rest in the other spare room for the time being.<br /> "So I'll be going now," Matthew said.<br /> "Thanks for the help, Matt," Kelly said.<br /> "Of course beautiful, see you later," Matthew said. He pecked her cheek and hugged her and left. Kelly sat on the bed. Ryan sat next to her.<br /> "You okay sis?" Ryan asked.<br /> "I guess so, are you okay with me staying here?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Of course, Kate wants you here, I'm glad you are here for her, it makes me feel better knowing you are helping her," Ryan said.<br /> Three weeks later, Kelly found herself a house close to Kate and Ryan. She got all moved in and settled. <br /> Then she heard the front door ding announcing there was a customer. Kelly and Sarah went up front and the person there was the last person she was expecting to see, Mitch’s assistant.<br /> "What are you doing here," Kelly said.<br /> "I wanted to talk to you please," Delia said.<br /> "What could you have to say to me," Kelly said.<br /> "I wanted to explain it to you," Delia said.<br /> "I really don't care, he slept with you for three months, I can't forgive and forget," Kelly said.<br /> "Kelly, please," Delia said.<br /> "Why should I listen to anything you say, did he send you here to plead his case so I would take him back, tell him to go away," Kelly said.<br /> "Kelly, he's checked into rehab," Delia said.<br /> "What for?" Kelly asked.<br /> "He had an accident at work five months ago, it wasn't bad but he required some painkillers to keep you from finding out because he didn't want you to worry or anything, he got hooked on them and he was so in need for them that he got mixed up and thought I was you, he called me Kelly," Delia said.<br /> "Oh geez," Kelly said.<br /> "Seems like nonsense to me," Sarah said.<br /> "Yeah he's just trying to get me to take him back, tell him I'm not going to take him back ever, he and I were over the moment his private part was inside you so get out of here and stay away from me," Kelly said.<br /> "Okay I'll go and I'm sorry for my part in all this," Delia said. She left and Sarah looked at Kelly. Kelly went back to her office. Benjamin came in and smiled and pecked her.<br /> "Hey baby," Benjamin said.<br /> "Hey," Sarah said.<br /> "What's going on?" Benjamin asked.<br /> "You won't believe it," Sarah said. She told him what happened. He sent a text and soon the door opened and Matthew came in. Kelly came out of her office and saw him and he took her in his arms as she sobbed against him.<br /> "It's okay beautiful, I'm here," Matthew said.<br /> "Why can't he understand that I can't be with him anymore," Kelly said.<br /> "I don't know but I do know that he never deserved you," Matthew said.

Give me your daughter, and I'll consider your debt paid in full. You will not have to make any more payments to us, and you can continue with your lives."<br /> “And if I don't?"<br /> I let out a deep breath. “Then, I'll kill you right here and now. Maybe I'll kill your entire family. Of I'll kill you, your wife, and son and will take your daughter anyway. It's your choice."<br /> “No, don't!" the woman yelled. “This is my family!"<br /> Gage was suddenly calm, his eyes filled with resolve. “If I do this, then we're square?"<br /> “Dad, no!" The woman's eyes shot daggers at me. “I'm not going anywhere with you!"<br /> 'Oh, but you are,' I thought to myself as a sly smile curled my lips.<br /> “No, you can't take her!" her mother yelled, tears streaming down her cheeks. “She's pregnant!"<br /> ————————<br /> Lycia<br /> I pulled into the parking lot of Supernova, and the music was already blaring. As soon as I got out of my car, I clicked the automatic door lock on my keychain and headed toward the front door of the club. Tonight, I was going to have fun. I was tired of playing it safe and tired of my Pack ridiculing me. I was ready to cut loose and live on the wild side for a change and maybe even do something a little dangerous. I was keeping my options open.<br /> The sound of glasses clinking resonated from the bar to the right, and people were talking to each other, yelling over the loud music. After fishing my ID out of my purse, I stepped up to the bouncer at the front door when it was my turn.<br /> One of his eyebrows rose, giving me a hot smile as he quickly looked over my ID and handed it back to me. “Have fun tonight." He winked as he stamped my hand.<br /> I walked on, smiling as a thrill ran through my body, glad to see that my dress was working.<br /> All eyes were on me as I passed the first bar and headed toward the second bar to the left. It was quieter, and not as many people were there. I sat on one of the barstools and smiled at the bartender.<br /> “So, what'll you have tonight?" he asked, placing his hand on the bar as he turned sideways.<br /> “A frozen Mango Margarita and a shot of Amaretto, please." I laid my purse on my lap, not wanting to leave it where it could easily be taken.<br /> As I sipped the shot, I scented another wolf nearby. Humans came here along with wolf-shifters. I looked up, and there he was, sitting right across from me, drinking a spirits.<br /> He held up his spirits as he smiled and took a drink. He had dark brown hair, piercing blue eyes, and was heavily muscled. All wolves had blue eyes, so that was no surprise, but he seemed to look right through me. I downed the rest of the shot.<br /> “Would you like to dance?" I looked across the bar at him as I set the shot glass on the counter and motioned for another. The bartender nodded.<br /> “Yes, I would," the handsome wolf across from me replied. He left his spirits sitting on the bar and stood, rising to his full height... and he was huge. He had to be six foot five or something, nearly a whole foot taller than me. I was tall for a woman—five foot, six inches—but he dwarfed me. He held out his big hand, and electricity coursed through my body as I took it.<br /> He led me onto the dance floor and slipped one arm around my waist as I laid my arm on his shoulder. He held my other hand and brought it to his chest, looking into my eyes.<br /> The song came to an end, and I stepped away. “Well, thank you for the dance—"<br /> “Would you honor me with another dance?" he asked, a beautiful hot smile curling his lips.<br /> “Sure, why not?"<br /> But this time, he pulled me close, and my breasts pushed against his chest as he slid his strong arms around my waist, leaving me no choice but to slide my hands to his upper arms. Muscles bulged beneath his thin, muted-green sweater, causing my heart to pound as he stared into my eyes.<br /> He leaned close, his eyes never leaving mine, as if trying to read my mind, but I was sure he couldn't. He was just that intense.<br /> Unable to take any more, I laid my head on his chest and swayed with him to the music, feeling safe in his arms, despite his warning.<br /> He leaned his head against mine. “What Pack do you belong to?" he asked, his voice merely a whisper, too low for humans to hear.<br /> “No names. No identifying features. Not tonight." I looked into his eyes. “Let's just enjoy ourselves."<br /> He shrugged. “As you wish."<br /> Suddenly, a hot Latin song came on, and, to my surprise, he led me along the dance floor in a perfect West Coast Swing. The way he moved his hips to the music and spun me around was nothing short of magical. When the song came to an end, another came on, and we kept dancing. He was so good on the dance floor, I couldn't help but wonder what he would be like in bed.<br /> But I quickly pushed the thought from my mind as we danced. After all, I had never been with a man before. Then again, I had wanted to live on the wild side and see how the other half lived for once. A part of me felt like being reckless. I chuckled to myself. This poor man didn't know what he was getting himself into. He had probably come here for a drink and to have a little fun. I was sure he wasn't here to find a Mate.<br /> All too soon, the song ended, and he pecked my hand and led me off the floor. My heart sank, thinking that was going to be the end of our story. But then, he surprised me when he asked, “So, do you mind if I get my spirits and sit with you?"<br /> I chuckled, shaking my head as his smile faded. “No. I don't mind at all. I'd love it."<br /> His smile quickly reappeared. “I'll be right back." He went to the other side of the bar.<br /> In the few moments that he was gone, another man approached. “Mind if I sit down, lovely?"<br /> “Yes, she minds," a gruff, powerful voice said beside me. I looked up and smiled, for it was my mystery man, having come back to claim me. Or, at least, that was how I saw it.<br /> ---<br /> Logan<br /> “Oh... yeah... sorry, man," the man stammered, taking a step back. “I didn't know she was with anyone."<br /> The poor jerk darted away before I could ask him if he saw us dancing together. But technically, he was right. We weren't together. Well, not permanently, anyway. But for tonight, she was mine. My wolf growled his satisfaction deep within my chest. He wanted to claim her wolf as his right then, which was rare. In fact, he had never wanted to claim another wolf before now. But there was a first time for everything.<br /> “So, do you live around here, or are you from out of town?" I took a sip of my spirits, curious. I found that the more time I spent with her, the more I wanted to know. Even though she had suggested we stay anonymous, it was a simple enough question that I didn't think she would object.<br /> She sighed, brushing a strand of her long blonde hair over her shoulder. Actually, it was dark blonde with subtle streaks that fell over her shoulders like water into beautiful waves.<br /> “I'm from here." She poured the rest of her shot into her Margharita, stirred it up, and took a sip.<br /> So, she was a part of either the Shadowcrest Warriors Pack or the Crystal Grove Pack. But I knew for a fact she wasn't a part of my Pack, the Skyclaw Guardians. If she was, I would have seen her by now and would have probably already claimed her. It wouldn't be hard to track her down later, if I really wanted to.<br /> That would be a first. I never went looking for women after one-night stands.<br /> “So, are you from around here?" the gorgeous blonde asked, her eyes a striking blue, contrasting sharply with her hair. She had an incredible figure, a thin waist, and long, luscious legs.<br /> I sighed, enjoying the view more than I should. “Yes, I am." I arched an eyebrow, giving her my sexiest smile. “Would you like to know which Pack I'm from?"<br /> She looked out over the dance floor. “Nope!" she said.<br /> I let out a deep breath as I looked away, knowing I had to get this woman out of my head before I did something I regretted, like carting her off to Las Vegas tonight.<br /> “Would you like to get out of here?" I asked, suddenly serious. If she turned me down, I was going to find the first woman I saw and fck her senseless.<br /> “Yeah." Her voice was soft, suddenly shy. Then my heart sank. She was a virgin, and I didn't do virgins. But coffee wouldn't hurt. I paid our tabs and placed my hand on her back, motioning with my head toward the door. “Come on. Let's go."<br /> Outside, I lifted one shoulder as I took her hand, inhaling the cool night air. Slowly, it started bringing me back to my senses. “Because that's what men do for women." I led her to my Lamborghini Countach and leaned her against it, placing one hand on either side of her, preventing her escape. “You are one gorgeous woman."<br /> A slight blush crept up her cheek, making me want her even more. “You're pretty handsome yourself."<br /> I leaned in as my heart pounded against my ribcage, silently seeking acceptance. Finding it, I crushed my lips to hers, and in that instant, my whole world shifted as I took her into my arms. She opened for me, deepening the peck as she pulled me close to her body, her breasts pushing against my chest as my hard cck pressed against her stomach. There was no mistaking what I wanted.<br /> She tilted her head and crushed her lips to mine again. I pulled back for a moment, lifted the door high into the air, swept her into my arms, and placed her gingerly inside the cab. She leaned back and looked good enough to eat. But there was no way I was going to f*ck her in the parking lot for all to see. I wasn't an animal. Instead, I leaned in and pressed my lips to hers again, running my hand up her leg.<br /> ……<br /> Lycia<br /> I woke with a start the following day, and my mystery man was still asleep next to me as the faint rays of morning sunshine peeked through the clouds. I had to get out of here. I had to get home to shower and go to work before anyone noticed that I hadn't come home last night.<br /> One Month Later...<br /> On my way to work, I vowed to get a pregnancy test on my way home that night. If I was having symptoms, then I was far enough along that would definitely show up on a pregnancy test.<br /> Lately, I had been vomiting in the morning and at the oddest times throughout the day. I thought I had a stomach bug, at first. But now, it all made sense.<br /> “Good morning, Lycia!" Kelly, the owner of the shop, chirped as I walked in. She was a human, but as nice as they come. She was also young to own a beauty salon, only twenty-five.<br /> “Good morning, Kelly." I hurried to put my things away, hoping the nausea would subside soon. This seemed to be the worst day so far.<br /> Kelly crossed the room and sat in the hydraulic chair next to my station. “If you didn't feel well, you shouldn't have come in."<br /> “I'm fine," I lied. I was a single and possibly pregnant wolf. There was nothing fine about it. “I probably just have a stomach bug." Suddenly, another wave of nausea rushed over me, and I darted to the bathroom with my hand over my mouth and vomited the contents of my stomach into the toilet again. It seemed that I shouldn't have anything left to vomit, but my body was telling me differently.<br /> Taria was leaning against the wall outside the bathroom when I came out. “How far along are you?"<br /> “What?" I laughed without humor. “What are you talking about?"<br /> “Lycia, don't play dumb with me." She waved a hand toward me. “Any fool could see that you're pregnant."<br /> “Shush!" I looked around to see if anyone had heard, but no one was in the back. “I don't know for sure yet. But—"<br /> “But you think you are," Taria finished. “I'll tell you what. Let's get a pregnancy test on our lunch break, and you can take it from there."<br /> I closed the door and locked it so I wouldn't be interrupted again. This was the moment of truth. I quickly did what the test said, and then set the plastic stick on the side of the sink and waited.<br /> I closed my eyes, afraid to look, but then slowly opened them. Sure enough, two bright pink lines were clearly visible in the test window. I blinked, unable to believe it, although I already knew it was correct.<br /> I flushed the toilet again, packed everything into the shopping bag, washed my hands, and headed out.<br /> My thoughts went to my mystery man, and I wondered what he would think about it. But I was glad that the baby would just be mine. I never wanted him to feel like he had to marry me just because I was pregnant. It was a moot point now, anyway, because I didn't even know his name. But I could take care of myself. I didn't need a man to take care of me. But now that I was going to have a baby, it wasn't going to be just me anymore, leaving me to wonder what I was going to do.<br /> ---<br /> Logan<br /> I slipped into my black Italian loafers I kept polished for occasions such as these. But before I slipped into my suit coat, I strapped on my shoulder holster, making sure it was loaded. Then I slipped on my suit coat and shoved some loaded magazines in the inside pockets, knowing it was going to be one of those nights. After that, I strapped a knife to my left ankle and another pistol to my right leg, just in case.<br /> Ready, I headed down the stairs, and Siren, Marshall, and two other men were waiting for me in the foyer.<br /> “Are you loaded?"<br /> “Aye!" they all said in unison.<br /> “Are the cars ready?"<br /> Marshall nodded. “We'll go in the limo, and the other men will ride in the Mercedes that will follow us. Also, there's a driver for each car." He was letting me know precisely how many were in our detail, just in case everything went sideways. We didn't want to take down any of our own people by mistake, but that rarely happened.<br /> I nodded once and looked over my Crew. “Remember: No one goes down without my say. Got it?"<br /> “Aye!"<br /> I looked out the window as we drove, wondering where my lady was and what she was doing. I never thought of her with another man. I couldn't bear it. In my mind, she was already my Mate. She didn't know it yet, but she was mine. And when I found her, I was going to make her my wife and my Mate.<br /> We pulled to a stop in front of a single-story house, and we all slid out of the cars. I headed toward the front door with Siren and Marshall hot on my heels. I kicked open the door and a woman screamed, holding up her hands, but I went straight for the man.<br /> “Quick! Is there anyone else in the house?" I fisted his hair, pulling his head back.<br /> “Yes! My son and daughter!" the man shook, holding up his hands. “Please, kill me if you must, but don't kill my wife and children!"<br /> “Call them out here!" I yelled, pointing my pistol at his wife.<br /> “What the heck is going on in here?" a young wolf asked as he stepped into the room. He saw what was going on and lunged toward me, but Marshall quickly pinned him against the wall by the throat, growling.<br /> “Do as we say, and no one has to die!" I yelled in his face and turned to his father. “Now, call your daughter out here!"<br /> “What the heck?"<br /> My head snapped up, and I nearly fainted as my heart pounded in my ears. At that moment, I knew exactly what I was going to do.<br /> Before I could stop her, Siren crossed the room to her and pointed a pistol in her face. But she reared back her hand and slapped Siren across the face as hard as she could. I couldn't help but be in awe of her.<br /> “Get that thing out of my face, and don't point it at me unless you plan on using it!" she yelled.<br /> Siren chuckled, undeterred. “Oh, honey. I plan on using it."<br /> “No!" I yelled. “Siren, don't!"<br /> Her head snapped up as she narrowed her eyes, silently asking why I had used her name. We never used our real names while on the job.<br /> But a job was a job. Time for business.<br /> “Is there anyone else in the house?" I demanded, fisting the man's white hair, yanking back his head. He looked young, despite his white hair.<br /> “No, no one!" he yelled, trembling. “I'm sorry I'm late with your payment, but I don't have the money—"<br /> “Late?" I scoffed. “You're six months behind on your payments! We've warned you and threatened you, but now it's time to pay with your life."<br /> “No, don't!" I looked up, and Siren had a pistol pointed at the woman, and Marshall had her brother against the wall.<br /> I released him and stood. “Then I'll make you a deal."<br /> “What kind of deal?" Gage Owen asked.<br /> “Give me your daughter, and I'll consider your debt paid in full."<br /> “What?" Marshall and Siren yelled in unison, their eyes wide as if I had lost my mind.<br /> “Do you know how much money he owes? What will Fa—" Marshall almost asked.<br /> “I'm making the decisions here," I growled, cutting him off.<br /> He nodded once, leaving the sentence unfinished.<br /> I turned back to Gage. “If you give me your daughter, I'll consider your debt paid in full. You will not have to make any more payments to us, and you can continue with your lives."<br /> “And if I don't?"<br /> I let out a deep breath. “Then, I'll kill you right here and now. Maybe I'll kill your entire family. Of I'll kill you, your wife, and son and will take your daughter anyway. It's your choice."<br /> “No, don't!" the woman yelled. “This is my family!"<br /> Gage was suddenly calm, his eyes filled with resolve. “If I do this, then we're square?"<br /> “Dad, no!" The woman's eyes shot daggers at me. “I'm not going anywhere with you!"<br /> 'Oh, but you are,' I thought to myself as a sly smile curled my lips.<br /> But first things first. “Yes. You have my word." Bile crept up my throat, unable to believe that the man would give his daughter away so freely to pay his debt.<br /> “No, you can't take her!" her mother yelled, tears streaming down her cheeks. “She's pregnant!"

As soon as I got out of my car, I clicked the automatic door lock on my keychain and headed toward the front door of the club. Tonight, I was going to have fun. I was tired of playing it safe and tired of my Pack ridiculing me. I was ready to cut loose and live on the wild side for a change and maybe even do something a little dangerous. I was keeping my options open.<br /> The sound of glasses clinking resonated from the bar to the right, and people were talking to each other, yelling over the loud music. After fishing my ID out of my purse, I stepped up to the bouncer at the front door when it was my turn.<br /> One of his eyebrows rose, giving me a hot smile as he quickly looked over my ID and handed it back to me. “Have fun tonight." He winked as he stamped my hand.<br /> I walked on, smiling as a thrill ran through my body, glad to see that my dress was working.<br /> All eyes were on me as I passed the first bar and headed toward the second bar to the left. It was quieter, and not as many people were there. I sat on one of the barstools and smiled at the bartender.<br /> “So, what'll you have tonight?" he asked, placing his hand on the bar as he turned sideways.<br /> “A frozen Mango Margarita and a shot of Amaretto, please." I laid my purse on my lap, not wanting to leave it where it could easily be taken.<br /> As I sipped the shot, I scented another wolf nearby. Humans came here along with wolf-shifters. I looked up, and there he was, sitting right across from me, drinking a spirits.<br /> He held up his spirits as he smiled and took a drink. He had dark brown hair, piercing blue eyes, and was heavily muscled. All wolves had blue eyes, so that was no surprise, but he seemed to look right through me. I downed the rest of the shot.<br /> “Would you like to dance?" I looked across the bar at him as I set the shot glass on the counter and motioned for another. The bartender nodded.<br /> “Yes, I would," the handsome wolf across from me replied. He left his spirits sitting on the bar and stood, rising to his full height... and he was huge. He had to be six foot five or something, nearly a whole foot taller than me. I was tall for a woman—five foot, six inches—but he dwarfed me. He held out his big hand, and electricity coursed through my body as I took it.<br /> He led me onto the dance floor and slipped one arm around my waist as I laid my arm on his shoulder. He held my other hand and brought it to his chest, looking into my eyes.<br /> The song came to an end, and I stepped away. “Well, thank you for the dance—"<br /> “Would you honor me with another dance?" he asked, a beautiful hot smile curling his lips.<br /> “Sure, why not?"<br /> But this time, he pulled me close, and my breasts pushed against his chest as he slid his strong arms around my waist, leaving me no choice but to slide my hands to his upper arms. Muscles bulged beneath his thin, muted-green sweater, causing my heart to pound as he stared into my eyes.<br /> He leaned close, his eyes never leaving mine, as if trying to read my mind, but I was sure he couldn't. He was just that intense.<br /> Unable to take any more, I laid my head on his chest and swayed with him to the music, feeling safe in his arms, despite his warning.<br /> He leaned his head against mine. “What Pack do you belong to?" he asked, his voice merely a whisper, too low for humans to hear.<br /> “No names. No identifying features. Not tonight." I looked into his eyes. “Let's just enjoy ourselves."<br /> He shrugged. “As you wish."<br /> Suddenly, a hot Latin song came on, and, to my surprise, he led me along the dance floor in a perfect West Coast Swing. The way he moved his hips to the music and spun me around was nothing short of magical. When the song came to an end, another came on, and we kept dancing. He was so good on the dance floor, I couldn't help but wonder what he would be like in bed.<br /> But I quickly pushed the thought from my mind as we danced. After all, I had never been with a man before. Then again, I had wanted to live on the wild side and see how the other half lived for once. A part of me felt like being reckless. I chuckled to myself. This poor man didn't know what he was getting himself into. He had probably come here for a drink and to have a little fun. I was sure he wasn't here to find a Mate.<br /> All too soon, the song ended, and he pecked my hand and led me off the floor. My heart sank, thinking that was going to be the end of our story. But then, he surprised me when he asked, “So, do you mind if I get my spirits and sit with you?"<br /> I chuckled, shaking my head as his smile faded. “No. I don't mind at all. I'd love it."<br /> His smile quickly reappeared. “I'll be right back." He went to the other side of the bar.<br /> In the few moments that he was gone, another man approached. “Mind if I sit down, lovely?"<br /> “Yes, she minds," a gruff, powerful voice said beside me. I looked up and smiled, for it was my mystery man, having come back to claim me. Or, at least, that was how I saw it.<br /> ---<br /> Logan<br /> “Oh... yeah... sorry, man," the man stammered, taking a step back. “I didn't know she was with anyone."<br /> The poor jerk darted away before I could ask him if he saw us dancing together. But technically, he was right. We weren't together. Well, not permanently, anyway. But for tonight, she was mine. My wolf growled his satisfaction deep within my chest. He wanted to claim her wolf as his right then, which was rare. In fact, he had never wanted to claim another wolf before now. But there was a first time for everything.<br /> “So, do you live around here, or are you from out of town?" I took a sip of my spirits, curious. I found that the more time I spent with her, the more I wanted to know. Even though she had suggested we stay anonymous, it was a simple enough question that I didn't think she would object.<br /> She sighed, brushing a strand of her long blonde hair over her shoulder. Actually, it was dark blonde with subtle streaks that fell over her shoulders like water into beautiful waves.<br /> “I'm from here." She poured the rest of her shot into her Margharita, stirred it up, and took a sip.<br /> So, she was a part of either the Shadowcrest Warriors Pack or the Crystal Grove Pack. But I knew for a fact she wasn't a part of my Pack, the Skyclaw Guardians. If she was, I would have seen her by now and would have probably already claimed her. It wouldn't be hard to track her down later, if I really wanted to.<br /> That would be a first. I never went looking for women after one-night stands.<br /> “So, are you from around here?" the gorgeous blonde asked, her eyes a striking blue, contrasting sharply with her hair. She had an incredible figure, a thin waist, and long, luscious legs.<br /> I sighed, enjoying the view more than I should. “Yes, I am." I arched an eyebrow, giving her my sexiest smile. “Would you like to know which Pack I'm from?"<br /> She looked out over the dance floor. “Nope!" she said.<br /> I let out a deep breath as I looked away, knowing I had to get this woman out of my head before I did something I regretted, like carting her off to Las Vegas tonight.<br /> “Would you like to get out of here?" I asked, suddenly serious. If she turned me down, I was going to find the first woman I saw and fck her senseless.<br /> “Yeah." Her voice was soft, suddenly shy. Then my heart sank. She was a virgin, and I didn't do virgins. But coffee wouldn't hurt. I paid our tabs and placed my hand on her back, motioning with my head toward the door. “Come on. Let's go."<br /> Outside, I lifted one shoulder as I took her hand, inhaling the cool night air. Slowly, it started bringing me back to my senses. “Because that's what men do for women." I led her to my Lamborghini Countach and leaned her against it, placing one hand on either side of her, preventing her escape. “You are one gorgeous woman."<br /> A slight blush crept up her cheek, making me want her even more. “You're pretty handsome yourself."<br /> I leaned in as my heart pounded against my ribcage, silently seeking acceptance. Finding it, I crushed my lips to hers, and in that instant, my whole world shifted as I took her into my arms. She opened for me, deepening the peck as she pulled me close to her body, her breasts pushing against my chest as my hard cck pressed against her stomach. There was no mistaking what I wanted.<br /> She tilted her head and crushed her lips to mine again. I pulled back for a moment, lifted the door high into the air, swept her into my arms, and placed her gingerly inside the cab. She leaned back and looked good enough to eat. But there was no way I was going to f*ck her in the parking lot for all to see. I wasn't an animal. Instead, I leaned in and pressed my lips to hers again, running my hand up her leg.<br /> ……<br /> Lycia<br /> I woke with a start the following day, and my mystery man was still asleep next to me as the faint rays of morning sunshine peeked through the clouds. I had to get out of here. I had to get home to shower and go to work before anyone noticed that I hadn't come home last night.<br /> One Month Later...<br /> On my way to work, I vowed to get a pregnancy test on my way home that night. If I was having symptoms, then I was far enough along that would definitely show up on a pregnancy test.<br /> Lately, I had been vomiting in the morning and at the oddest times throughout the day. I thought I had a stomach bug, at first. But now, it all made sense.<br /> “Good morning, Lycia!" Kelly, the owner of the shop, chirped as I walked in. She was a human, but as nice as they come. She was also young to own a beauty salon, only twenty-five.<br /> “Good morning, Kelly." I hurried to put my things away, hoping the nausea would subside soon. This seemed to be the worst day so far.<br /> Kelly crossed the room and sat in the hydraulic chair next to my station. “If you didn't feel well, you shouldn't have come in."<br /> “I'm fine," I lied. I was a single and possibly pregnant wolf. There was nothing fine about it. “I probably just have a stomach bug." Suddenly, another wave of nausea rushed over me, and I darted to the bathroom with my hand over my mouth and vomited the contents of my stomach into the toilet again. It seemed that I shouldn't have anything left to vomit, but my body was telling me differently.<br /> Taria was leaning against the wall outside the bathroom when I came out. “How far along are you?"<br /> “What?" I laughed without humor. “What are you talking about?"<br /> “Lycia, don't play dumb with me." She waved a hand toward me. “Any fool could see that you're pregnant."<br /> “Shush!" I looked around to see if anyone had heard, but no one was in the back. “I don't know for sure yet. But—"<br /> “But you think you are," Taria finished. “I'll tell you what. Let's get a pregnancy test on our lunch break, and you can take it from there."<br /> I closed the door and locked it so I wouldn't be interrupted again. This was the moment of truth. I quickly did what the test said, and then set the plastic stick on the side of the sink and waited.<br /> I closed my eyes, afraid to look, but then slowly opened them. Sure enough, two bright pink lines were clearly visible in the test window. I blinked, unable to believe it, although I already knew it was correct.<br /> I flushed the toilet again, packed everything into the shopping bag, washed my hands, and headed out.<br /> My thoughts went to my mystery man, and I wondered what he would think about it. But I was glad that the baby would just be mine. I never wanted him to feel like he had to marry me just because I was pregnant. It was a moot point now, anyway, because I didn't even know his name. But I could take care of myself. I didn't need a man to take care of me. But now that I was going to have a baby, it wasn't going to be just me anymore, leaving me to wonder what I was going to do.<br /> ---<br /> Logan<br /> I slipped into my black Italian loafers I kept polished for occasions such as these. But before I slipped into my suit coat, I strapped on my shoulder holster, making sure it was loaded. Then I slipped on my suit coat and shoved some loaded magazines in the inside pockets, knowing it was going to be one of those nights. After that, I strapped a knife to my left ankle and another pistol to my right leg, just in case.<br /> Ready, I headed down the stairs, and Siren, Marshall, and two other men were waiting for me in the foyer.<br /> “Are you loaded?"<br /> “Aye!" they all said in unison.<br /> “Are the cars ready?"<br /> Marshall nodded. “We'll go in the limo, and the other men will ride in the Mercedes that will follow us. Also, there's a driver for each car." He was letting me know precisely how many were in our detail, just in case everything went sideways. We didn't want to take down any of our own people by mistake, but that rarely happened.<br /> I nodded once and looked over my Crew. “Remember: No one goes down without my say. Got it?"<br /> “Aye!"<br /> I looked out the window as we drove, wondering where my lady was and what she was doing. I never thought of her with another man. I couldn't bear it. In my mind, she was already my Mate. She didn't know it yet, but she was mine. And when I found her, I was going to make her my wife and my Mate.<br /> We pulled to a stop in front of a single-story house, and we all slid out of the cars. I headed toward the front door with Siren and Marshall hot on my heels. I kicked open the door and a woman screamed, holding up her hands, but I went straight for the man.<br /> “Quick!

My son and daughter!" the man shook, holding up his hands. “Please, kill me if you must, but don't kill my wife and children!"<br /> “Call them out here!" I yelled, pointing my pistol at his wife.<br /> “What the heck is going on in here?" a young wolf asked as he stepped into the room. He saw what was going on and lunged toward me, but Marshall quickly pinned him against the wall by the throat, growling.<br /> “Do as we say, and no one has to die!" I yelled in his face and turned to his father. “Now, call your daughter out here!"<br /> “What the heck?"<br /> My head snapped up, and I nearly fainted as my heart pounded in my ears. At that moment, I knew exactly what I was going to do.<br /> Before I could stop her, Siren crossed the room to her and pointed a pistol in her face. But she reared back her hand and slapped Siren across the face as hard as she could.

Gage Owen asked.<br /> “Give me your daughter, and I'll consider your debt paid in full."<br /> “What?"

She shook her head and got up and walked out the door and went to the front door and opened it and and saw it.<br /> "What the?" Kelly asked.<br /> "It's the one you wanted right?" Mitch asked.<br /> "Yes," Kelly said.<br /> "I found it at a car dealership about two hours away," Mitch said.<br /> "But there are dealerships here," Kelly said.<br /> "They didn't have your color baby," Mitch said.<br /> "Mitch," Kelly said.<br /> "Happy Anniversary, baby," Mitch said.<br /> "Wow, I guess this made up for missing the actual day," Kate said.<br /> "Kate," Kelly said.<br /> "Baby," Ryan said.<br /> "It's fine, I'll be making it up to her for awhile, this is a start, next week is birthdays," Mitch said.<br /> "Better not come up with an excuse to forget it," Kate said.<br /> "No because she is going with me to the Maldives," Mitch said.<br /> "What?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Happy Early Birthday baby, a second honeymoon," Mitch said.<br /> "Okay I was wrong," Kate said.<br /> "What's that, Kate?" Mitch asked.<br /> "Sis," Kelly said.<br /> "Sorry," Kate said. Kelly looked at her husband and hugged him tight. He buried his face in her neck.<br /> "I love you and I'm sorry about yesterday," Mitch said.<br /> "Just don't do it again," Kelly said.<br /> "I promise baby," Mitch said. He pecked her and they went for a drive.<br /> Two weeks later, Kelly walked into the bakery after coming home from the trip she and Mitch took. Sarah and Tara were there.<br /> "Hello ladies," Kelly said.<br /> "Hey girl, how was the trip?" Tara asked.<br /> "Amazing, it was like our honeymoon all over again," Kelly said.<br /> "So you guys never left the bed?" Sarah asked.<br /> "Oh we did, we would do things like snorkeling at the Banana Reef, went to the beach, swimming, romantic dinners, and every night we would be in bed making love," Kelly said.<br /> "So babies could be coming soon?" Tara asked.<br /> "I'm still on the pill, he still says he's not ready yet," Kelly said.<br /> "Kel, you have a visitor," Tara said.<br /> "Who is it?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Matt," Tara said. Kelly got up and went out and saw her brother-in-law standing at the counter drinking coffee.<br /> "Matt," Kelly said.<br /> "Hey beautiful, I've missed you," Matthew said.<br /> "Oh you have huh," Kelly said.<br /> "Yeah, heard you just got back from a trip with your husband," Matthew said.<br /> "Your brother yes I did," Kelly said.<br /> "Have a good time?" Matthew asked.<br /> "Yes I did, it was a second honeymoon," Kelly said.<br /> "That's great, so you guys making me an uncle soon?" Matthew asked.<br /> "Not yet," Kelly said.<br /> "Hey guys," Benjamin said<br /> "Hey Ben," Kelly said.<br /> "Hey boys what's up?" Sarah asked.<br /> "Hey Sarah, just a coffee to go, I've got to get back to the job site," Benjamin said.<br /> "I better get back to the office, see ya sis," Matthew said.<br /> "Bye Matt," Kelly said.<br /> "How are you gorgeous," Benjamin said.<br /> "I'm good, how's the job?" Kelly asked.<br /> "It's going very well," Benjamin said.<br /> "That's good," Kelly said.<br /> "I better get going, gorgeous, see you soon," Benjamin said. He went out the door and she looked at the girls.<br /> "Gorgeous? Beautiful? I think they have the hots for you," Tara said.<br /> "They've always called me those names and Mitch knows and agreed of them calling me," Kelly said.<br /> "He's okay with his brothers calling you gorgeous and beautiful," Tara said.<br /> "Yeah because he knows that nothing will happen with them, he trusts me and he trusts his brothers, he knows they won't cross the boundaries," Kelly said.<br /> "Yet," Sarah said.<br /> "What," Kelly said.<br /> "They both were looking at you," Tara said.<br /> "Both were eye watching you," Sarah said.<br /> "Oh yeah," Tara said.<br /> "They wouldn't do that to their brother," Kelly said.<br /> "They both want you in their bed," Sarah said.<br /> "You both are wrong, okay, you are wrong," Kelly said. She went to the office and sat down and worked on some bills.<br /> Three days later, Kelly was at the bakery helping a customer when Benjamin came in.<br /> "Hey gorgeous," Benjamin said.<br /> "Hi Ben," Kelly said.<br /> "How's my favorite sister-in-law doing?" Benjamin asked.<br /> "I'm fine and I'm your only sister-in-law," Kelly said.<br /> "I know that, that's why you are my favorite one," Benjamin said.<br /> "Hey Ben," Sarah said.<br /> "Sarah, how are you," Benjamin said.<br /> "I'm good," Sarah said.<br /> "Are you ready?" Benjamin asked.<br /> "Yeah, is it okay for me to go, Kel?" Sarah asked.<br /> "You guys got a date?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Yeah I asked her the other day," Benjamin said.<br /> "Go on, have a good time," Kelly said.<br /> "Okay see ya tomorrow," Sarah said.<br /> "Bye sis!" Benjamin said. They left and Kelly smiled and cleaned the counter.<br /> "Hey beautiful," Matthew said.<br /> "Matt, what's up?" Kelly asked.<br /> "I came to see my favorite sister-in-law," Matthew said.<br /> "As I told Ben, I'm your only sister-in-law," Kelly said.<br /> "And I'm sure he said that it makes you our favorite," Matthew said.<br /> "Yeah so what would you like?" Kelly asked.<br /> "A latte please sis," Matthew said.<br /> "Coming right up," Kelly said.<br /> "Hey baby, hey bro," Mitch said.<br /> "Hey bro," Matthew said.<br /> "Hey what brings you by?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Just letting you know that I'll be working late," Mitch said.<br /> "Oh babe," Kelly said.<br /> "I'm sorry baby," Mitch said.<br /> "It's fine, I'll be okay," Kelly said.<br /> "If you have to work late, how did you manage to get away?" Matthew asked.<br /> "I took a lunch break and came here to tell her, I didn't want to tell her over the phone," Mitch said.<br /> "And I appreciate you coming to tell me, babe," Kelly said. He came over to her and hugged her close and pecked her softly.<br /> "I will text you when I'm headed home okay, I know you have an early morning so you don't need to wait up for me," Mitch said.<br /> "Okay, love you," Kelly said.<br /> "Love you baby," Mitch said. He pecked her and went out the door. Matthew looked at her and smiled.<br /> After work，<br /> Kelly drove to Mitch's office with some food and went to his office and heard sounds coming from inside and she opened the door slowly and saw something that made her heart break. Her husband slept with his assistant on his desk.<br /> "What were you doing, Mitch!" Kelly said.<br /> "Oh god Kel!" Mitch said. He pulled away and got dressed as did his assistant. She threw the bag of food at him.<br /> "I can't believe you!" Kelly said.<br /> "Baby please," Mitch said.<br /> "Don't call me that, not anymore, we are done! It's over!" Kelly yelled. She ran out the door and got on the elevator and the doors closed and she ran out when she got on the ground floor.<br /> "Leave me alone!" Kelly yelled. She went to Kate's house and went to the door and knocked. Ryan opened it and saw her.<br /> "Kel, sis, what happened?" Ryan asked. She broke down crying and he pulled her in and closed the door.<br /> "I took food to Mitch at his office and found him sleeping with his assistant on his desk," Kelly said crying.<br /> "Oh my god, he's so dead!" Ryan said.<br /> "No he's not worth it, I told him I was done," Kelly said.<br /> Three days later, Kelly went home and found him there sitting on the couch. She went to the bedroom and began packing her bags. She sent a quick text as she packed. He came to the door.<br /> "Kelly please," Mitch said.<br /> "Don't! I don't want to hear any excuses, there is no excuse for what you did, how long has it been going on?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Kelly," Mitch said.<br /> "How long?!" Kelly yelled.<br /> "Three months," Mitch said.<br /> "And you said you loved me," Kelly said.<br /> "I do!" Mitch said.<br /> "No you don't or you never would have slept with her in the first place! No man who says he loves his wife would ever cheat on her! You are not a man, you are nothing!" Kelly yelled.<br /> "Mitch!" Matthew yelled. Matthew cam and pulled his brother away from the door.<br /> "Matt," Mitch said.<br /> "I heard what you did, how could you do that!" Matthew said.<br /> "It was a mistake!" Mitch said.<br /> "A mistake is one time, three months isn't!" Matthew said.<br /> "How did you find out?" Mitch asked.<br /> "From her sister, she told me when I went to get coffee this morning," Matthew said.<br /> "Matt," Mitch said.<br /> "Leave her be, Mitch, go for a walk for an hour and let her get her things out," Matthew said.<br /> "I'm not giving her a divorce," Mitch said.<br /> "You better," Kelly said.<br /> "I don't want to lose you!" Mitch said.<br /> "You lost me the moment you put your private part inside Delia," Kelly said.<br /> "Go Mitch now!" Matthew said.<br /> "Get him out, I'll help her finish up and get her stuff in her car," Matthew said. Harris pulled Mitch out the door. Matthew went to Kelly and she broke down in his arms.<br /> "Oh beautiful it will be all right, let's get your stuff and get out of here," Matthew said. They finished packing up her stuff and got it all in her car and his.<br /> "Thank you Matt," Kelly said.<br /> "You're welcome, now where are you staying? Matthew asked.<br /> "I was staying at Kate's, being there for her and Ryan, she's having a rough time with her pregnancy," Kelly said.<br /> "Let's go then," Matthew said. They went to Kate's house and got out. Ryan came out.<br /> "Hey Matt," Ryan said.<br /> "Hey man, got her stuff here," Matthew said.<br /> "Let's get it inside," Ryan said. They got her stuff moved into the house and she got her clothes in the bedroom and the rest in the other spare room for the time being.<br /> "So I'll be going now," Matthew said.<br /> "Thanks for the help, Matt," Kelly said.<br /> "Of course beautiful, see you later," Matthew said. He pecked her cheek and hugged her and left. Kelly sat on the bed. Ryan sat next to her.<br /> "You okay sis?" Ryan asked.<br /> "I guess so, are you okay with me staying here?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Of course, Kate wants you here, I'm glad you are here for her, it makes me feel better knowing you are helping her," Ryan said.<br /> Three weeks later, Kelly found herself a house close to Kate and Ryan. She got all moved in and settled. <br /> Then she heard the front door ding announcing there was a customer. Kelly and Sarah went up front and the person there was the last person she was expecting to see, Mitch’s assistant.<br /> "What are you doing here," Kelly said.<br /> "I wanted to talk to you please," Delia said.<br /> "What could you have to say to me," Kelly said.<br /> "I wanted to explain it to you," Delia said.<br /> "I really don't care, he slept with you for three months, I can't forgive and forget," Kelly said.<br /> "Kelly, please," Delia said.<br /> "Why should I listen to anything you say, did he send you here to plead his case so I would take him back, tell him to go away," Kelly said.<br /> "Kelly, he's checked into rehab," Delia said.<br /> "What for?" Kelly asked.<br /> "He had an accident at work five months ago, it wasn't bad but he required some painkillers to keep you from finding out because he didn't want you to worry or anything, he got hooked on them and he was so in need for them that he got mixed up and thought I was you, he called me Kelly," Delia said.<br /> "Oh geez," Kelly said.<br /> "Seems like nonsense to me," Sarah said.<br /> "Yeah he's just trying to get me to take him back, tell him I'm not going to take him back ever, he and I were over the moment his private part was inside you so get out of here and stay away from me," Kelly said.<br /> "Okay I'll go and I'm sorry for my part in all this," Delia said. She left and Sarah looked at Kelly. Kelly went back to her office. Benjamin came in and smiled and pecked her.<br /> "Hey baby," Benjamin said.<br /> "Hey," Sarah said.<br /> "What's going on?" Benjamin asked.<br /> "You won't believe it," Sarah said. She told him what happened. He sent a text and soon the door opened and Matthew came in. Kelly came out of her office and saw him and he took her in his arms as she sobbed against him.<br /> "It's okay beautiful, I'm here," Matthew said.<br /> "Why can't he understand that I can't be with him anymore," Kelly said.<br /> "I don't know but I do know that he never deserved you," Matthew said.

Even though some guys in our pack are pretty mean to me, I can hang in there when he's with me. But then, on his birthday, I figured out he was messing around with my sister. That's when I knew I had to get out of there. Just as I was about to take off, the big boss of all, Alpha King, showed up and took control of everyone in our pack.<br /> "You're after her? But she's just a lowly human!"<br /> The king let out such a loud yell that everyone jumped and bowed down even more. Lying close to the ground, I was really scared as I saw the king walk away from me towards Kate, who always picked on me the most.<br /> Now that he was a bit further away, I could see him better. He was way bigger than any of the other Lycans, and you could see all these big scars all over him, even under his fur.<br /> His claw, big as Kate's head, went right through her chest, yanking out her heart and leaving everyone crying or begging for mercy.<br /> "You better make sure your pack respects those on top," the witch's voice echoed. But me? I was just frozen, watching Kate's body as the king pulled his hand back and she dropped to the ground.<br /> I knew he was coming back towards me, but I couldn't look away. Then suddenly, his huge hand grabbed my backpack and lifted me up like I was just a toy, snapping me out of it. I looked up, right into the Lycan King's glowing red eyes.<br /> When he spoke, his voice was so deep it made me shiver, "Mine."<br /> ------<br /> Right when I walked into the pack house, something felt off. The way everyone was looking at me, snickering and whispering, tipped me off they were plotting something again. Their tricks and mean acts had been getting nastier, and I was still hurting from what they did last time.<br /> I was sore all over from a beating just two days back, but I kept telling myself it was almost over.<br /> I just needed to find Calvin before they could start their nasty plan.<br /> Calvin and I have been together for four years. He's the only one who really looks out for me, the only one I can count on.<br /> We've been together since high school. Plus, he's supposed to be the next Alpha of our pack. To me, that doesn't really matter, but it sure does to the other girls. They're jealous because he's with me and think they'd make a better Alpha's Luna than I ever could.<br /> I haven't even turned into my wolf form yet. In their eyes, I'm just an omega, the lowest of the low, what they call a runt.<br /> I was supposed to shift when I hit sixteen, but nothing happened. Now, here I am at nineteen, which is when our wolf side should be fully grown and we can tell who our mates are. If I had shifted, I would've known for sure Calvin was my mate, but we had to wait until his nineteenth birthday today for him to realize I'm his mate.<br /> Calvin never made a big deal out of me not shifting. We've been a thing since before we were even supposed to start shifting, and we just knew we were meant for each other. He's always been there, standing up for me against the others who were mean because I didn't shift like they did.<br /> 'Calvin? Where are you?' I tried reaching out to Calvin through mind links, but got nothing back.<br /> "Wow, look who's brave enough to crash this party," Kate, my sister's so-called best friend, snapped as she walked through the crowd that magically split for her, and even the music hit pause. Everyone just stopped their fun to see her, the number one mean girl, coming at me.<br /> With the party lights still doing their thing in the awkward quiet, I was really hoping my guy would notice all the fuss and come stand with me. But nope, he was MIA, and all I got were smirks and giggles from the crowd, not a glimpse of him anywhere.<br /> "Calvin's the one who invited me. I'm part of this pack, so yeah, I belong here," I said quietly, even though I could feel tears wanting to start as they all burst out laughing. Clearly, there was more going on here than just Kate flapping her gums.<br /> "He doesn't even want you here," she smirked, and then gave me this big fake smile. "Why don't you check for yourself? Where's Calvin, huh? Last I saw, he headed to his room. Why don't you go fetch him, see what he says?"<br /> Clutching his gift even tighter to me, I squinted at her. She was definitely plotting something, but I was more set on finding Calvin than playing her stupid games.<br /> Taking a step forward, Kate moved out of my way, and I could feel all eyes on me as I headed for the stairs.<br /> Calvin's room was all the way down the hall, big double doors and all, and I made a beeline for it. I could hear the sound of footsteps trailing behind me, Kate probably leading the charge, but I was close to my escape.<br /> Once I was in his room, I could shut the door on all of them.<br /> It would just be me and Calvin, nothing else mattered.<br /> As I reached for the doorknob, feeling its chill, something inside me was screaming "Don't do it!" It was like a sixth sense trying to save me, begging me to just run away because it knew this was a setup. But I didn't listen; I turned the knob and opened the door anyway.<br /> The sound that hit me first was a deep m0an from a girl under my boyfriend, making me stop dead in my tracks. There they were, all tangled up.<br /> Calvin was lost in the moment, his m0ans mixing with hers.<br /> I felt sick, like I couldn't catch my breath. The one good thing in my life just crashed and burned right in front of me, plunging my whole world into pitch black.<br /> Then he looked up, our eyes met—even though he didn't really see me, his wolf side was running the show. His fangs were out, and the next thing I knew, he bit her, marking her right there.<br /> She’s my sister.<br /> "No," slipped out in a whisper, my hand flying to cover my mouth. Calvin, all riled up, snapped at me for interrupting.<br /> "I told you he didn't want you," Kate's whisper felt like ice in my ear, while my sister, under my boyfriend, just laughed and stroked Calvin's short blonde hair like she owned him.<br /> "Janet, could you shut the door?" Kelly asked like she was being all sweet, but the sharp look in her eyes said she was loving this win over me. Not only had she taken the guy I loved, but she was also going to be his Luna now. "I want some alone time with my mate."<br /> Mate.<br /> That word just rang hollow. Calvin couldn't stand Kelly; he knew how nasty she was to me and didn't hide his dislike. Yet, there he was, growling at me, taking her side.<br /> "How could you?" I managed to say, tears breaking free, and the gift I was holding just crashed to the floor. The loud thud seemed to bring Calvin back to his senses, his eyes losing that wild look and going back to their usual brown.<br /> His mouth hung open, looking guilty as he switched his gaze between me and my sister, but not really looking sorry at all. He seemed glad to have found and claimed his mate; he just didn't like getting caught in the act. Seeing him torn made me even more upset as he said my name and got away from my sister. She sat up, and he got up too, and they weren't even embarrassed about being naked.<br /> "Janet, I…" He started, moving towards me, which made me back away, but the crowd pushed me right back towards him.<br /> I tried to keep my distance, tripping forward.<br /> Tears made everything blurry, and it hurt to breathe as he said my name again. "Janet…She’s my mate," he finally said out loud, making everyone cheer, happy that their future Luna was officially chosen.

"You have to be joking." <br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? This had to be some sort of joke. They couldn't possibly be serious. But her parents were not laughing.<br /> "This is no joke. You will be marrying Garrett Hunter."<br /> "I am his fated mate. We're meant to be together. Why would he want to reject me? There must be a mistake!"<br /> "Lily, you're an omega. No respectable Alpha would want you as their Luna. We're saving you the agony of having to deal with your mate having a mistress," her mother explained.<br /> ______________<br /> Lily Bray stood in front of the mirror admiring herself. Her skin glowed from her previous run with the pups of the pack. Even though she was the daughter of the Alpha, she enjoyed helping out with the pups.<br /> 'You should wear the red dress,' Dina, her wolf, suggested.<br /> 'You're just being petty,' Lily replied as she looked at the dresses on her bed. The festive red would be the best choice since all her other dresses were too bright for the winter. She picked it up and looked at herself in the mirror.<br /> 'No, I'm not. Matthew said we look nice in red. We should wear it! It's also one of the colors in his pack,' Dina added.<br /> Lily smiled at the thought of wearing the colors of the Grey Blood Pack. She, of course, was going to be their Luna after the mating ceremony. The very thought of it made her blush. Who would've thought that she would be mated to a future Alpha?<br /> 'We deserve it, no matter our rank! Matthew doesn't care that we are an Omega, so we shouldn't care anymore either,' Dina said confidently, 'Put on the red dress.'<br /> Lily didn't need to be convinced as she quickly began to get dressed. She could hear the clicking of heels and immediately knew who it was before she heard the voice.<br /> "Lily, what's taking you so long?" Her sister, Brandy, yelled from outside her bedroom door.<br /> "Coming!" Lily quickly put on lip gloss and smoothed out the wrinkles in her festive red dress before rushing to the door. She opened it to see Brandy standing there looking uninterested as always.<br /> "Took you long enough," Brandy said. She looked her up and down and her eye twitched slightly before saying, "Cute dress." Anyone that didn't know Brandy would have thought she was complimenting Lily, but Lily knew better. Brandy disapproved of everything she wore and did.<br /> "You're just upset that you couldn't find the dress in your size," Lily retorted. She knew that Brandy was looking at the dress. It wasn't her finest moment to be so petty, but she found some satisfaction from it as Brandy always got what she wanted.<br /> Brandy replied with a scowl, "That dress is old news. I found one that was much better and more fitting for me." She walked past Lily, making sure to bump her with her shoulder. Lily resisted the urge to snarl. She would not let her ruin the evening.<br /> Brandy wore a low-cut black form-fitting dress with black heels. Her hair was pulled up high in a ponytail. She had blush on her cheek, and she wore bright red lipstick.<br /> 'She looks like a street walker and ugly at that,' Dina commented.<br /> 'That's not nice,' Lily responded.<br /> 'It's the truth. You should hear what Mable says about you. Brandy can't even dress decently at home. Who is she flaunting for?' Dina countered.<br /> Dina never liked Brandy as she tormented Lily growing up. Everything had to be her way and if Lily resisted, Brandy made sure to hurt her in some way. As soon as Lily could shift, Dina made it her business to take a swipe at Brandy.<br /> Lily and Brandy entered the dining hall where her parents were. They were sipping spirits and talking but stopped as soon as they entered.<br /> "Oh, you look so lovely!" her mother said to Brandy.<br /> Lily had to refrain from rolling her eyes as Brandy practically glowed from her mother's compliment. Brandy gave Lily a smug look before sitting next to their mother.<br /> Her mother gave Lily a momentary glance before saying, "Oh, Lily. You know, red isn't a good color for you, but at least you've been eating well at school. How are your studies going?"<br /> "I passed all my exams. Straight As again," Lily said happily.<br /> Lily sat down in front of Brandy, her mother, and her father. She thought it was odd that they were sitting across from her but pushed the thought out of her mind.<br /> Her mother casually remarked, "That's lovely, honey," before changing the subject as if concluding a formality. "Do you have that dress I mentioned, Brandy? The one in white?"<br /> "Yes, I did. I got it at a discount too. We had a credit once we returned the other dress," Brandy explained.<br /> Lily lost her enthusiasm when she understood that, yet again, no one was interested in what she had accomplished. She poured herself a glass of spirits and downed it. Lily looked at her father, who seemed too busy to greet her while he was looking at his phone.<br /> 'Do not worry about them. We have mates now. They will be our family,' Dina said to cheer Lily up. Lily only had to look forward to returning to her dorm and the upcoming mating ceremony. She would be where she was wanted, with Matthew.<br /> Her mother and Brandy had been conversing when her father cleared his throat, drawing their attention to him. Her father said, "I am happy that you are doing well in your studies, Lily, but there won't be a need to go back in the Spring."<br /> "What do you mean?" Lily asked.<br /> "Now that you are mated, it is not a productive use of your time. You must get ready to be a devoted mate," Her father responded.<br /> "Well, I can do both. I have already worked it out. I will be able to attend Luna lessons during the day and school at night," Lily explained. She spent a lot of time and effort with the academic advisor to make that arrangement.<br /> "That money could be used for something else, like your sister's mating ceremony," her father proposed.<br /> "Brandy! You have a mate?! That's exciting! Why didn't you tell me? We can go dress shopping together!" Lily exclaimed happily.<br /> Brandy scoffed and said, "You won't need a dress. Daddy, just tell her already. This is just sad."<br /> "Tell me what?" Lily said, looking confused as she turned to look back at her father. "Tell me what, Dad?"<br /> "I had a discussion with Alpha Jack of the Grey Blood Pack. His son, Matthew, will become the new Alpha in a few months. His father and I have agreed that Matthew needs to have a strong mate by his side to lead the pack successfully," Lily's father explained, "And that is not you." <br /> Lily felt as if her whole world had been turned upside down. She didn't know if she wanted to scream or cry. How could they make this decision for her?<br /> "In three days, you will attend the rejection ceremony, and then in a week, you will have a mating ceremony with someone more on your level, his brother, Garrett Hunter."<br /> Lily stared in horror at her father. She couldn't make sense of what he was saying. Why would Matthew reject her? When they talked on the phone all day, he never mentioned it.<br /> "You're joking," Lily said. "You have to be joking." <br /> Her father scowled at her because he disliked repeating himself. He paused for a moment to collect himself before saying, "This is no joke. You will be marrying Garrett Hunter."<br /> When Lily heard her father say those words, her heart sank. "I am his fated mate. We're meant to be together. Why would he want to reject me? There must be a mistake!"<br /> "Lily, you're an omega. No respectable Alpha would want you as their Luna. We're saving you the agony of having to deal with your mate having a mistress," her mother explained, "and it's not like you won't have a mate."<br /> "It's what you deserve, Lily. Garrett is perfect for you," Brandy said smugly. <br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? This had to be some sort of joke. They couldn't possibly be serious. But her parents were not laughing.<br /> Lily slid her seat back and stood up. She ran back to her room, slamming the door behind her. Brandy stood up to bring her back downstairs, but her mother stopped her.<br /> "Leave her alone. There is nowhere she can go. This is something she must accept," her mother stated.<br /> "Pick up the phone, Matthew. Come on!" Lily murmured as she dialed his number for the tenth time. It just rang again and again until it went to voicemail. Lily didn't bother leaving another voicemail because she had already left five.<br /> Lily sighed in frustration and tossed her phone to the floor before pacing the room. Why would her parents subject her to such cruelty? Wasn't it enough that they treated her like trash because she was an omega? But now they were going to take this away from her as well?!<br /> Lily nearly crashed into the wall to get to her phone when it buzzed on the bed. Her heart sank again when she realized it was Tiffany, not Matthew, calling. Lily answered the phone.<br /> "Hey girlie! It has been hours. What was the dinner about? Are you..." Tiffany started.<br /> Lily interjected and said, "Can I come over? I can't stay here. Please say yes."<br /> Hearing her tone, Tiffany became serious and asked, "What's wrong? Your sister is bothering you again?"<br /> "No. It's much worse. Please tell me I can come over," Lily pleaded.<br /> "Yes, you can come. I am not leaving for my parents' until tomorrow. Where are you? I can come to get you," Tiffany offered.<br /> "No. I will come to you," Lily said, "Thank you." She quickly hung up the phone. Lily went to her closet and grabbed an overnight bag. She yanked her dress off and changed into a t-shirt and workout pants.<br /> Lily then began packing items she didn't want to lose and enough clothes to get her through the holidays. She had no intention of coming back here.<br /> The door to her bedroom swung open, causing Lily to jump. She turned to see Mira, one of the omegas working in the kitchen. Mira placed her finger on her lips before she slowly closed the door behind her.<br /> "They told you," Mira said. It was more of a statement than a question. It made Lily sick to her stomach. Everyone had been smiling in her face. Did everyone but her know? It was humiliating that this was kept from her. "I was commanded not to tell you. I really wanted to."<br /> "It's fine, Mira. I know you wouldn't betray me," Lily responded. It would be physically impossible for Mira to go against a command. Perhaps if she were a Gamma or even a Beta, but as an Omega, the pain of it would have killed her wolf, which would've killed her.<br /> "I won't let them force me," Lily declared. "I can't let them take one of the only things that have made me happy."<br /> Mira and Lily grew very close growing up. As they were both omegas and Lily was excluded from high-ranking wolf activities, she spent most of her time with Mira. Mira's father, the pack doctor, was the reason she wanted to become a doctor in the first place.<br /> "Then, let me help you," Mira said, "I can get you out of here. They planned to leave you alone for the rest of the weekend."<br /> "You can't. If they find out..."<br /> "They'll assume I helped you even if I didn't. I'll be beaten no matter what, but I won't die," Mira countered, interrupting her. "Dad is already outside with a car to take you wherever you want to go."<br /> Lily hugged Mira tightly. Mira smiled slightly, wanting to go with her, but she was bound to the pack grounds. Leaving or even going rogue would harm her father's position in the pack. She couldn't risk it.<br /> "Thank you, Mira," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany opened her front door to see Lily standing like a beat dog in her doorway. Lily waved to the car that drove away. Tiffany pulled her into her home and quickly closed the door. Lily immediately began sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> "Lily, what's going on? What happened?" Tiffany asked, leading her to the sofa. She had already prepared Lily's favorite meal as well as hot cocoa.<br /> "They are trying to force me into a rejection ceremony," Lily managed to say.<br /> "What? Why? They can't do that. It'd be spitting in the Goddess' face. You could end up cursed or worse," Tiffany exclaimed.<br /> "They don't care. They don't think I'd be a fit for him because I'm an omega," Lily stated.<br /> "That's not up to them. That's up to the Goddess, and the Goddess wants you and Matthew to be together," Tiffany stated.<br /> "They don't see it that way. They..." Lily stopped in mid sentence as a horrible pain gripped her chest. She gasped as she clutched her chest and tried to slow her breathing.<br /> "Lily? Is it one of your panic attacks?" Tiffany asked.<br /> Lily could only nod, unable to speak as she concentrated on breathing as the pain radiated through her. She suffered from panic attacks for a long time. Lily assumed it was because of stress. It would eventually fade, thanks to Dina's assistance.<br /> Lily gasped in relief as the pain began to fade, and she said, "I'm okay now."<br /> "You need to speak with Matthew. You two can elope, and they won't be able to do anything about it,"<br /> "Elope?"<br /> "Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Tiffany asked as she walked Lily out of her apartment. She didn't want to leave her in such a terrible situation.<br /> "No, I need to do this alone," Lily answered with a weak smile. She couldn't get in contact with Matthew all night. Lily needed to speak with him. Whatever happened between her and Matthew, she would have to deal with it alone. Lily didn't want to get her too caught up in her family drama.<br /> "Well, you know where my spare key is," Tiffany said.<br /> "Don't worry about me. I'll be okay. Matthew and I will elope, and everything will be fine," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany smiled slightly, but Lily noticed that her eyes looked somewhat sad. She had known Tiffany long enough to know that she was holding back. Before Lily could ask Tiffany what she was thinking, Lily's cab arrived.<br /> Tiffany hugged her again and said, "Keep me updated. You know my parents will accept you with open arms. They said the offer is still open if you want to join my pack."<br /> Lily nodded and got into the cab. She waved goodbye before telling the cab driver, "10 Armstead Place." The cab driver nodded and drove off.<br /> The drive didn't take long. All the while, she could feel a stabbing pain in her chance. It was another anxiety attack. She had never felt so bad before.<br /> "Ma'am, are you okay?" the cab driver asked, noticing her distress.<br /> "Yes, I am fine. Thank you," Lily answered. "Just having a little panic attack, I think."<br /> 'It's the stress,' Dina said to her. 'I am doing everything I can to dull it. I can't reach Baldur. I don't know why he isn't responding to me. Do you think our father or maybe his father did something?'<br /> Baldur was Matthew's wolf. He was as happy as Dina when they learned that they were mates. As much as Lily and Matthew talked on the phone, Dina and Baldur communicated more telepathically.<br /> 'It could be. I can't believe it. I don't want to believe that Matthew would agree to this. Maybe he is cutting off all communication because he doesn't want anyone to find him. No one knows about his apartment in the city,' Lily responded.<br /> The city was a neutral zone for all supernatural creatures. Pack hierarchy or mutual dislike of different races wasn't tolerated here. The elders made it a point that all supernatural children grew up aware of others to squash any ignorance. It was a good idea in theory, but many outside factors were at play. People couldn't help but judge one another.<br /> "We're here," the cab driver said, bringing Lily out of her thoughts. She pulled out $40 from her wallet and said, "Keep the change." She got out of the car and rushed up the steps to Matthew's apartment.<br /> Lily had been there more than once over the weekend. Her family never knew when she was home, and she wanted to keep it that way. When it would get bad at home, Matthew was a reprieve for her as Lily didn't want to have to deal with her family any more than she had to.<br /> Lily quickly grabbed the spare key under the mat and opened the door. She stepped into his apartment, and the pain seemed to intensify. Lily gripped her chest and almost fell face-first into the carpet. She used the wall to move further into his apartment.<br /> There was a smell that she couldn't quite place. It made her hackles rise. She felt angry for no reason.<br /> 'Find him now,' Dina growled within her.<br /> 'What's wrong?' Lily asked, but Dina only responded with a growl.<br /> "Oh, Matthew, deeper! Oh, yes! Pull my hair!"<br /> An all-too-familiar voice broke the silence, and Lily could now hear the slapping of skin. As she approached his bedroom, it became increasingly louder. Lily swallowed hard as she tried to process what she was hearing and what she didn't want to believe was happening. Lily's hand shivered as she was about to place her hand on the door.<br /> 'We must see this,' Dina growled. 'Open the door.'<br /> Lily slowly pushed open the door. There in front of her was Brandy, her sister, on all knees, back arched, while her fated mate was thrusting in her with abandon. Brandy lifted her head and smirked at Lily. It finally clicked now.<br /> Matthew didn't answer his phone because he was with her.<br /> The anxiety attacks, the waves of pain were Matthew making love to her.<br /> Lily was almost catatonic as she watched the betrayal before her eyes. This was supposed to be her. She had waited years for him, and here he was having intercourse with this bimbo in front of her.<br /> "Oh, I'm coming," Matthew groaned as he released into Brandy. Brandy's eyes rolled in satisfaction as she bounced back against Matthew, milking him of every drop.<br /> Lily gripped the side of the door frame, her claws going straight through as she tried to compose herself. The sudden movement caused Matthew to look up. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw her.<br /> "Oh hello, sister. Did you enjoy the show?" Brandy mocked as Lily walked into the room. Lily said nothing as she approached Brandy. With all her might, Lily slapped Brandy hard enough to send her into the headboard.<br /> "You bimbo!" Brandy yelled as she gripped her head in pain. Lily slapped her again before Matthew caught her wrist. She used her other hand to slap Matthew across the face with strength she didn't know she had. Her claws left gashes on the side of his face.<br /> "Lily, what the heck?" Matthew exclaimed.<br /> "Don't ever speak to us, you filthy dog," Lily growled out. Her eyes were silver as it was Dina now talking. "All this time, you betrayed us for this bimbo!"<br /> "You have to understand, Lily. I didn't have a choice. I..."<br /> "Enough of your lies! I will go through with the rejection ceremony. We can do it tonight because I want to be rid of you. I'll take whatever curse the Goddess dishes out!" Lily screamed before storming out, leaving the door wide open.<br /> "Don't you think that is inappropriate?" Kenneth asked his Luna from the doorway of their bedroom. <br /> "Not at all. It is a joyous occasion," Mandy said as she applied burgundy lipstick and stood up. She brushed the wrinkles out of her blue sweater dress as she looked herself over in the mirror before approaching him with a slight smile. "You should change. That suit is so depressing."<br /> "The suit is proper attire for the custom. You shouldn't take this much glee in her suffering," Kenneth responded, causing Mandy to frown. <br /> Mandy scoffed and said, "Don't try to act like you care about the little brat now. Don't be a hypocrite. You could care less and this arrangement will benefit the both of us."<br /> "At least make it believable in front of the Hunters," Kenneth reasoned. Mandy rolled her eyes. Of course she would behave. What kind of idiot did he take her for?<br /> "Come. You wouldn't want to keep Lily waiting," Mandy said condescendingly. <br /> Again, Kenneth didn't respond and followed Mandy to the entertainment hall. Both packs were in attendance. Both acknowledged their presence, showing their necks to them both. <br /> Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly looked agitated by the entire situation. The Luna of Grey Blood Pack was very against the rejection ceremony. However, she didn't have much say in the situation since both Alphas agreed to it. <br /> "Where is she?" Kenneth asked one of the omegas that were serving spirits. <br /> "She is coming, my Alpha. We are watching her closely. There is no chance she will run away again," the omega answered. <br /> Kenneth nodded and walked to the stage with Jack following behind him. He took a spoon to his spirits glass to get everyone's attention. <br /> "Thank you for joining us here tonight to celebrate the union of two great packs," Kenneth began and turned to Jack, "It is an honor that our packs will be united." <br /> "Yes, we look forward to our unified strength," Jack nodded. <br /> "Lily, Brandy, and Matthew Hunter, please come up here," Kenneth said. <br /> Brandy quickly came to greet her father. Kenneth frowned at her attire as he reluctantly hugged her. She was always scantily clad, even after telling her to dress appropriately for the occasion. <br /> 'Like mother, like daughter,' Kenneth's wolf, Jasper, said before growling in irritation at seeing Matthew. Kenneth had recently learned that Matthew had been sleeping with Brandy behind Lily's back. As a father and a believer of old customs, he wanted to choke him, but it was better this way. At least one of his daughters would be a proper Luna.<br /> 'We should tear his throat out for humiliating Lily,' Jasper growled.<br /> 'Calm down,' Kenneth told him.<br /> 'You're a pathetic father,' Jasper responded before blocking himself from Kenneth like he always did. <br /> After a few minutes, Lily did not show. Kenneth frowned and he spoke over the microphone, "Where is Lily? Bring her here!" He didn't need her defying him in front of both packs. This union had to happen. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Matthew stood on the stage awkwardly. He didn't expect that both packs would be here for this. Matthew assumed that this would be a private affair, but he knew his mother had to have had a hand in this. <br /> Kelly had been horrified and disappointed in Matthew when she discovered that Matthew had been sleeping with Lily's little sister. No one in their line had ever denied the Moon Goddess' will up until now. The only thing that calmed her was that Lily would still marry into the pack. <br /> Matthew didn't really want to be mated with Brandy. He just wanted to have fun before he was forever bound to Lily. However, he understood why his father wanted him to mate Mandy instead. An Alpha had to be seen as strong. A weak Luna was a liability. He could not rule a pack with an omega Luna.<br /> 'It is not the right choice!' Baldur growled within him. 'Why did the Moon Goddess curse me to be bonded to you until death? She is meant for us! You know it!'<br /> 'There is nothing we can do now. It is done,' Matthew responded.<br /> 'You fool. You're going to regret this.' Baldur warned before Matthew suppressed him again like he always did when he didn't want to hear what he had to say. <br /> After Kenneth and his father Jack's speech, there was a pause as they waited for Lily to appear. She had not shown up, which infuriated Kenneth. As he demanded to know where Lily was, her voice rang out. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Lily emerged from the crowd, taking Matthew's breath away. There were murmurs from the crowd as they watched Lily. She wore a simple form-fitting strapless white dress with an overlay of lace. Her hair was pulled up in a bun, and a white veil covered her face. Lily wore her wedding dress to the rejection ceremony. <br /> When she got to the stage, she hugged her father, ignored Mandy, and curtsied to Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly before taking her position in front of Matthew. Lily kept a calm expression, but Matthew could see the fury in Lily's eyes. <br /> "Lily, I..." Matthew started, but she raised her hand, stopping him. <br /> Lily gave her hand to Jack and nodded to him. Jack smirked. This little female had sass. It was a shame that she was not an Alpha. Jack took the ceremonial blade and cut her palm. Matthew gave his hand to Kenneth, and he cut Matthew's hand. <br /> "I... I..." Matthew stammered. He found that he could not bring himself to say the words. Everything in him told him it was wrong. "Father, I can't. I..."<br /> "I, Lily Bray, the first-born daughter of Alpha Kenneth Bray, and my wolf, Dina, reject you, Matthew Hunter, the first-born son of Kenneth Hunter, and your wolf Baldur for your betrayal of our mate bond with my sister, Brandy," Lily said firmly as she grabbed Matthew's hand.

I don't want to hear any excuses, there is no excuse for what you did, how long has it been going on?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Kelly," Mitch said.<br /> "How long?!" Kelly yelled.<br /> "Three months," Mitch said.<br /> "And you said you loved me," Kelly said.<br /> "I do!" Mitch said.<br /> "No you don't or you never would have slept with her in the first place! No man who says he loves his wife would ever cheat on her! You are not a man, you are nothing!" Kelly yelled.<br /> —<br /> Three days later, Kelly was at the bakery helping a customer when Benjamin came in.<br /> "Hey gorgeous," Benjamin said.<br /> "Hi Ben," Kelly said.<br /> "How's my favorite sister-in-law doing?" Benjamin asked.<br /> "I'm fine and I'm your only sister-in-law," Kelly said.<br /> "I know that, that's why you are my favorite one," Benjamin said.<br /> "Hey Ben," Sarah said.<br /> "Sarah, how are you," Benjamin said.<br /> "I'm good," Sarah said.<br /> "Are you ready?" Benjamin asked.<br /> "Yeah, is it okay for me to go, Kel?" Sarah asked.<br /> "You guys got a date?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Yeah I asked her the other day," Benjamin said.<br /> "Go on, have a good time," Kelly said.<br /> "Okay see ya tomorrow," Sarah said.<br /> "Bye sis!" Benjamin said. They left and Kelly smiled and cleaned the counter.<br /> "Hey beautiful," Matthew said.<br /> "Matt, what's up?" Kelly asked.<br /> "I came to see my favorite sister-in-law," Matthew said.<br /> "As I told Ben, I'm your only sister-in-law," Kelly said.<br /> "And I'm sure he said that it makes you our favorite," Matthew said.<br /> "Yeah so what would you like?" Kelly asked.<br /> "A latte please sis," Matthew said.<br /> "Coming right up," Kelly said.<br /> "Hey baby, hey bro," Mitch said.<br /> "Hey bro," Matthew said.<br /> "Hey what brings you by?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Just letting you know that I'll be working late," Mitch said.<br /> "Oh babe," Kelly said.<br /> "I'm sorry baby," Mitch said.<br /> "It's fine, I'll be okay," Kelly said.<br /> "If you have to work late, how did you manage to get away?" Matthew asked.<br /> "I took a lunch break and came here to tell her, I didn't want to tell her over the phone," Mitch said.<br /> "And I appreciate you coming to tell me, babe," Kelly said. He came over to her and hugged her close and pecked her softly.<br /> "I will text you when I'm headed home okay, I know you have an early morning so you don't need to wait up for me," Mitch said.<br /> "Okay, love you," Kelly said.<br /> "Love you baby," Mitch said. He pecked her and went out the door. Matthew looked at her and smiled.<br /> "I should get back to work, see you sis," Matthew said.<br /> "Bye bro," Kelly said. He left and she saw Tara and Kate come in.<br /> "Hey sis," Kate said.<br /> "Hey you don't look so well," Kelly said.<br /> "Morning sickness is kicking my butt," Kate said.<br /> "Go on home, sis, you should rest," Kelly said.<br /> "Are you sure?" Kate asked.<br /> "Yes, we are sure, I can call Mel in," Tara said.<br /> "No need, I'm here," Melanie said.<br /> "I'm here to keep you guys company," David said.<br /> "Hey bro," Kate said.<br /> "Should I call Ryan?" David asked.<br /> "You better call him," Kelly said. Kate collapsed to the floor. Kelly ran to her. David called Ryan. He picked her up after he got done and carried her to the office and laid her on the couch there.<br /> "Morning sickness?" David asked.<br /> "Yeah she said it was kicking her butt," Kelly said.<br /> "Kate!" Ryan said. He came running in just as Tara put a cold washcloth on her forehead. He knelt down beside her.<br /> "She said morning sickness was bothering her, I told her to go home," Kelly said.<br /> "Kel, I think she should take off work, I can be here more often," Melanie said.<br /> "Baby," David said.<br /> "David," Melanie said.<br /> "I love you," David said.<br /> "Love you too, you don't mind right?" Melanie said.<br /> "No baby, I think it's a good idea, she needs to rest more," David said.<br /> "Kate baby?" Ryan asked.<br /> "What happened," Kate said.<br /> "You fainted sis," Kelly said.<br /> "Oh god," Kate said.<br /> "We should go to the doctor," Ryan said.<br /> "Ryan," Kate said.<br /> "Sis, you should go to be safe," Kelly said.<br /> "All right," Kate said. Ryan helped her up and they left. Kelly worked on some paperwork while Melanie and Tara covered the front. A few hours later, they closed up and went home. Kelly drove to Mitch's office with some food and went to his office and heard sounds coming from inside and she opened the door slowly and saw something that made her heart break. Her husband sleeping with his assistant on his desk.<br /> "What happened Mitch!" Kelly said.<br /> "Oh god Kel!" Mitch said. He pulled away and got dressed as did his assistant. She threw the bag of food at him.<br /> "I can't believe you!" Kelly said.<br /> "Baby please," Mitch said.<br /> "Don't call me that, not anymore, we are done! It's over!" Kelly yelled. She ran out the door and got on the elevator and the doors closed and she ran out when she got on the ground floor.<br /> "Kelly!" Mitch yelled.<br /> "Leave me alone!" Kelly yelled. She ran to her car and got in and drove off. She went to Kate's house and went to the door and knocked. Ryan opened it and saw her.<br /> "Kel, sis, what happened?" Ryan asked. She broke down crying and he pulled her in and closed the door.<br /> "I took food to Mitch at his office and found him sleeping with his assistant on his desk," Kelly said crying.<br /> "Oh my god, he's so dead!" Ryan said.<br /> "No he's not worth it, I told him I was done," Kelly said.<br /> "Come on," Ryan said.<br /> "How's my sister," Kelly said.<br /> "She's fine, just resting," Ryan said.<br /> "The doctor said she was fine?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Yeah, she told her to rest after having morning sickness like she did," Ryan said.<br /> "I should go," Kelly said.<br /> "Nope, come on," Ryan said. He made up the spare room and hugged her and left. She laid there on the bed and turned off her location on her phone and shut it off and fell asleep.<br /> Three days later, Kelly went home and found him there sitting on the couch. She went to the bedroom and began packing her bags. She sent a quick text as she packed. He came to the door.<br /> "Kelly please," Mitch said.<br /> "Don't! I don't want to hear any excuses, there is no excuse for what you did, how long has it been going on?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Kelly," Mitch said.<br /> "How long?!" Kelly yelled.<br /> "Three months," Mitch said.<br /> "And you said you loved me," Kelly said.<br /> "I do!" Mitch said.<br /> "No you don't or you never would have slept with her in the first place! No man who says he loves his wife would ever cheat on her! You are not a man, you are nothing!" Kelly yelled.<br /> "Mitch!" Matthew yelled. Matthew cam and pulled his brother away from the door.<br /> "Matt," Mitch said.<br /> "I heard what you did, how could you do that!" Matthew said.<br /> "It was a mistake!" Mitch said.<br /> "A mistake is one time, three months isn't!" Matthew said.<br /> "How did you find out?" Mitch asked.<br /> "From her sister, she told me when I went to get coffee this morning," Matthew said.<br /> "Matt," Mitch said.<br /> "Leave her be, Mitch, go for a walk for an hour and let her get her things out," Matthew said.<br /> "I'm not giving her a divorce," Mitch said.<br /> "You better," Kelly said.<br /> "I don't want to lose you!" Mitch said.<br /> "You lost me the moment you put your manhood inside Delia," Kelly said.<br /> "Go Mitch now!" Matthew said.<br /> "Mitch," Harris said.<br /> "Dad," Mitch said.<br /> "Let's go," Harris said.<br /> "Dad," Mitch said.<br /> "Do not argue with me, let's go for a walk, you will give her what she wants, son, she deserves better than a man who would cheat on his wife," Harris said.<br /> "Like you never cheated," Mitch said.<br /> "I would never do that to your mother, I never cheated on her," Harris said.<br /> "Who is Maria?" Mitch asked.<br /> "She's the sister of Marcus Sawyer, she's your mother's best friend," Harris said.<br /> "I saw you, Dad, pecking her," Mitch said.<br /> "No you saw her pecking me but I never returned the peck and your mother knows she pecked me, I would never do anything to hurt your mother, she's my life, I thought Kelly was yours but apparently not, you destroyed your marriage," Harris said.<br /> "Get him out Dad, I'll help her finish up and get her stuff in her car," Matthew said. Harris pulled Mitch out the door. Matthew went to Kelly and she broke down in his arms.<br /> "Oh beautiful it will be all right, let's get your stuff and get out of here," Matthew said. They finished packing up her stuff and got it all in her car and his.<br /> "Thank you Matt," Kelly said.<br /> "You're welcome, now where are you staying? Matthew asked.<br /> "I was staying at Kate's, being there for her and Ryan, she's having a rough time with her pregnancy," Kelly said.<br /> "Let's go then," Matthew said. They went to Kate's house and got out. Ryan came out.<br /> "Hey Matt," Ryan said.<br /> "Hey man, got her stuff here," Matthew said.<br /> "Let's get it inside," Ryan said. They got her stuff moved into the house and she got her clothes in the bedroom and the rest in the other spare room for the time being.<br /> "So I'll be going now," Matthew said.<br /> "Thanks for the help, Matt," Kelly said.<br /> "Of course beautiful, see you later," Matthew said. He pecked her cheek and hugged her and left. Kelly sat on the bed. Ryan sat next to her.<br /> "You okay sis?" Ryan asked.<br /> "I guess so, are you okay with me staying here?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Of course, Kate wants you here, I'm glad you are here for her, it makes me feel better knowing you are helping her," Ryan said.<br /> "I just can't believe he did this to me, he's been sleeping with her for three months, he said he loved me, how can he say that while he slept with her for three months," Kelly said.<br /> "He's a prick, I'll call David tomorrow, so you can divorce with his," Ryan said.<br /> "I guess it's good having a lawyer in the family," Kelly said.<br /> "The best one at that," Ryan said.<br /> "I'm glad my sister has you," Kelly said.<br /> "I'm glad to have you as a sister," Ryan said.<br /> "Love you bro," Kelly said.<br /> "Love you sis," Ryan said. He pecked her head and hugged her. Kate came in and joined the hug.<br /> "Sis," Kate said. Kelly told her everything. Kate hugged her.<br /> "I could kill him," Kate said.<br /> "Don't bother, he's not worth it," Kelly said.<br /> "Does Mom and Dad know?" Kate asked.<br /> "No, they are traveling around Europe, I didn't want to ruin their trip," Kelly said<br /> "They would understand, sis, they would want to be here for you," Kate said.<br /> "Mom would blame me probably," Kelly said.<br /> "Why would she," Ryan said.<br /> "Because she will think I didn't keep him satisfied," Kelly said.<br /> "That's nonsense," Kate said.<br /> "Yeah but I have a feeling that's what she will think," Kelly said. Kate hugged her and she and Ryan left the room. Kelly laid on the bed and curled up and went to sleep.<br /> Three weeks later, Kelly found herself a house close to Kate and Ryan. She got all moved in and settled. She was sitting in the office at the bakery working on the bills. Sarah came in and sat down.<br /> "What's up girl," Kelly said.<br /> "I'm officially taken, me and Ben are official," Sarah said.<br /> "I'm happy for you both," Kelly said.<br /> "He told me he's been in love with you ever since he met you," Sarah said.<br /> "Oh boy," Kelly said.<br /> "Last night he told me he loves me, he also told me that he's past any feelings he had for you, he said you will always be a sister to him," Sarah said.<br /> "I'm glad," Kelly said.<br /> "How you holding up?" Sarah asked.<br /> "I'm doing okay, I'm glad that I found out before anything happened," Kelly said.<br /> "What do you mean?" Sarah asked.<br /> "Before I decided on whether to try for a baby," Kelly said.<br /> "And that ended that decision," Sarah said.<br /> "Yep," Kelly said. They heard the front door ding announcing there was a customer. Kelly and Sarah went up front and the person there was the last person she was expecting to see.<br /> "What are you doing here," Kelly said.<br /> "I wanted to talk to you please," Delia said.<br /> "What could you have to say to me," Kelly said.<br /> "I wanted to explain it to you," Delia said.<br /> "I really don't care, he slept with you for three months, I can't forgive and forget," Kelly said.<br /> "Kelly, please," Delia said.<br /> "Why should I listen to anything you say, did he send you here to plead his case so I would take him back, tell him to go himself," Kelly said.<br /> "Kelly, he's checked into rehab," Delia said.<br /> "What for?" Kelly asked.<br /> "He had an accident at work five months ago, it wasn't bad but he required some painkillers to keep you from finding out because he didn't want you to worry or anything, he got hooked on them and he was so in need for them that he got mixed up and thought I was you, he called me Kelly," Delia said.<br /> "Oh geez," Kelly said.<br /> "Seems like nonsense to me," Sarah said.<br /> "Yeah he's just trying to get me to take him back, tell him I'm not going to take him back ever, he and I were over the moment his manhood was inside you so get out of here and stay away from me," Kelly said.<br /> "Okay I'll go and I'm sorry for my part in all this," Delia said. She left and Sarah looked at Kelly. Kelly went back to her office. Benjamin came in and smiled and pecked her.<br /> "Hey baby," Benjamin said.<br /> "Hey," Sarah said.<br /> "What's going on?" Benjamin asked.<br /> "You won't believe it," Sarah said. She told him what happened. He sent a text and soon the door opened and Matthew came in. Kelly came out of her office and saw him and he took her in his arms as she sobbed against him.<br /> "It's okay beautiful, I'm here," Matthew said.<br /> "Why can't he understand that I can't be with him anymore," Kelly said.<br /> "I don't know but I do know that he never deserved you," Matthew said. The door opened and they looked and she saw her grandma walking in.<br /> "Grandma!" Kelly said. She went and hugged her.<br /> "Hi my sweet girl!" Martha said.<br /> "How are you feeling?" Kelly asked.<br /> "I'm felling good today, let's go have a seat and chat," Martha said. She helped her sit down and she sat down. Matthew stood at the counter with Sarah.<br /> Kelly sat there with her grandma. <br /> The door opened and her parents came in.<br /> "Hey sweetheart, hey Mom," Peter said.<br /> "Hi my boy," Martha said. Peter leaned down and pecked her cheek and Kelly's and sat down at the table.<br /> "Mom," Kelly said.<br /> "Kelly," Melissa said. She sat down at the table with them. Kelly looked at her mother.<br /> "What is it, I can tell you want to talk about something," Kelly said.<br /> "We heard about Mitch going to rehab," Melissa said.<br /> "Melissa," Peter said.<br /> "Yes, I know, his assistant was here and told me," Kelly said.<br /> "The assistant you found him with in his office," Peter said.<br /> "The assistant he was sleeping with when I walked in, yep," Kelly said.<br /> "Kelly, he made a mistake," Melissa said.<br /> "He made a mistake? Mom, are you kidding me, so he made the same mistake for three months, you are wrong, one time is a mistake, three straight months isn't," Kelly said.<br /> "Giving up on your marriage when he needs you to most," Melissa said.<br /> "Melissa!" Peter said.<br /> "Melissa, what is wrong with you," Martha said.<br /> "He cheated on me for three months and I'm the one giving up? Seriously Mom? Would you forgive Dad if he cheated on you for three months? Would you!" Kelly said.<br /> "This isn't about me," Melissa said.<br /> "No, it's about me and I'm filing for a divorce as soon as possible, I am done, Mom, if you can't understand that and support me and my choice, then get out of here and don't come back until you do, this is my choice, I didn't give up on the marriage, he did by lying to me and cheating on me, I never gave him a reason for cheating that was his choice and this is mine!" Kelly said.<br /> "Melissa, let's go," Peter said.<br /> "Peter," Melissa said.<br /> "No Melissa, now," Peter said. She looked at Kelly and shook her head and got up. Peter hugged Kelly and Martha and led Melissa out the door. Kelly sat there shaking her head.<br /> "Why did she do that, why does she think I should stand by Mitch after what he did," Kelly said.<br /> "I don't know honey but you have my support," Martha said.<br /> "Thank you Grandma," Kelly said. Matthew came over to them and sat down with them.<br /> "Matthew, how are you," Martha said.<br /> "I'm doing good, Martha, how are you?" Matthew asked.<br /> "I'm doing well, just ashamed of my daughter-in-law right now," Martha said.<br /> "Yeah we heard it all and I can't believe her," Matthew said.<br /> "You are such a good friend to Kelly, thank you for being here for her," Martha said.<br /> "Always will be," Matthew said. Kelly smiled. Martha left an hour later as did Matthew. Kelly sat in her office and did some paperwork. She called Kate and told her what their mother did. She called and told Paul as well. She sat there thinking about everything. She made a call to David to file for the divorce. He said he would have the papers ready in the morning.

I don't want to hear any excuses, there is no excuse for what you did, how long has it been going on?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Kelly," Mitch said.<br /> "How long?!" Kelly yelled.<br /> "Three months," Mitch said.<br /> "And you said you loved me," Kelly said.<br /> "I do!" Mitch said.<br /> "No you don't or you never would have slept with her in the first place! No man who says he loves his wife would ever cheat on her! You are not a man, you are nothing!" Kelly yelled.<br /> —<br /> Three days later, Kelly was at the bakery helping a customer when Benjamin came in.<br /> "Hey gorgeous," Benjamin said.<br /> "Hi Ben," Kelly said.<br /> "How's my favorite sister-in-law doing?" Benjamin asked.<br /> "I'm fine and I'm your only sister-in-law," Kelly said.<br /> "I know that, that's why you are my favorite one," Benjamin said.<br /> "Hey Ben," Sarah said.<br /> "Sarah, how are you," Benjamin said.<br /> "I'm good," Sarah said.<br /> "Are you ready?" Benjamin asked.<br /> "Yeah, is it okay for me to go, Kel?" Sarah asked.<br /> "You guys got a date?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Yeah I asked her the other day," Benjamin said.<br /> "Go on, have a good time," Kelly said.<br /> "Okay see ya tomorrow," Sarah said.<br /> "Bye sis!" Benjamin said. They left and Kelly smiled and cleaned the counter.<br /> "Hey beautiful," Matthew said.<br /> "Matt, what's up?" Kelly asked.<br /> "I came to see my favorite sister-in-law," Matthew said.<br /> "As I told Ben, I'm your only sister-in-law," Kelly said.<br /> "And I'm sure he said that it makes you our favorite," Matthew said.<br /> "Yeah so what would you like?" Kelly asked.<br /> "A latte please sis," Matthew said.<br /> "Coming right up," Kelly said.<br /> "Hey baby, hey bro," Mitch said.<br /> "Hey bro," Matthew said.<br /> "Hey what brings you by?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Just letting you know that I'll be working late," Mitch said.<br /> "Oh babe," Kelly said.<br /> "I'm sorry baby," Mitch said.<br /> "It's fine, I'll be okay," Kelly said.<br /> "If you have to work late, how did you manage to get away?" Matthew asked.<br /> "I took a lunch break and came here to tell her, I didn't want to tell her over the phone," Mitch said.<br /> "And I appreciate you coming to tell me, babe," Kelly said. He came over to her and hugged her close and pecked her softly.<br /> "I will text you when I'm headed home okay, I know you have an early morning so you don't need to wait up for me," Mitch said.<br /> "Okay, love you," Kelly said.<br /> "Love you baby," Mitch said. He pecked her and went out the door. Matthew looked at her and smiled.<br /> "I should get back to work, see you sis," Matthew said.<br /> "Bye bro," Kelly said. He left and she saw Tara and Kate come in.<br /> "Hey sis," Kate said.<br /> "Hey you don't look so well," Kelly said.<br /> "Morning sickness is kicking my butt," Kate said.<br /> "Go on home, sis, you should rest," Kelly said.<br /> "Are you sure?" Kate asked.<br /> "Yes, we are sure, I can call Mel in," Tara said.<br /> "No need, I'm here," Melanie said.<br /> "I'm here to keep you guys company," David said.<br /> "Hey bro," Kate said.<br /> "Should I call Ryan?" David asked.<br /> "You better call him," Kelly said. Kate collapsed to the floor. Kelly ran to her. David called Ryan. He picked her up after he got done and carried her to the office and laid her on the couch there.<br /> "Morning sickness?" David asked.<br /> "Yeah she said it was kicking her butt," Kelly said.<br /> "Kate!" Ryan said. He came running in just as Tara put a cold washcloth on her forehead. He knelt down beside her.<br /> "She said morning sickness was bothering her, I told her to go home," Kelly said.<br /> "Kel, I think she should take off work, I can be here more often," Melanie said.<br /> "Baby," David said.<br /> "David," Melanie said.<br /> "I love you," David said.<br /> "Love you too, you don't mind right?" Melanie said.<br /> "No baby, I think it's a good idea, she needs to rest more," David said.<br /> "Kate baby?" Ryan asked.<br /> "What happened," Kate said.<br /> "You fainted sis," Kelly said.<br /> "Oh god," Kate said.<br /> "We should go to the doctor," Ryan said.<br /> "Ryan," Kate said.<br /> "Sis, you should go to be safe," Kelly said.<br /> "All right," Kate said. Ryan helped her up and they left. Kelly worked on some paperwork while Melanie and Tara covered the front. A few hours later, they closed up and went home. Kelly drove to Mitch's office with some food and went to his office and heard sounds coming from inside and she opened the door slowly and saw something that made her heart break. Her husband sleeping with his assistant on his desk.<br /> "What happened Mitch!" Kelly said.<br /> "Oh god Kel!" Mitch said. He pulled away and got dressed as did his assistant. She threw the bag of food at him.<br /> "I can't believe you!" Kelly said.<br /> "Baby please," Mitch said.<br /> "Don't call me that, not anymore, we are done! It's over!" Kelly yelled. She ran out the door and got on the elevator and the doors closed and she ran out when she got on the ground floor.<br /> "Kelly!" Mitch yelled.<br /> "Leave me alone!" Kelly yelled. She ran to her car and got in and drove off. She went to Kate's house and went to the door and knocked. Ryan opened it and saw her.<br /> "Kel, sis, what happened?" Ryan asked. She broke down crying and he pulled her in and closed the door.<br /> "I took food to Mitch at his office and found him sleeping with his assistant on his desk," Kelly said crying.<br /> "Oh my god, he's so dead!" Ryan said.<br /> "No he's not worth it, I told him I was done," Kelly said.<br /> "Come on," Ryan said.<br /> "How's my sister," Kelly said.<br /> "She's fine, just resting," Ryan said.<br /> "The doctor said she was fine?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Yeah, she told her to rest after having morning sickness like she did," Ryan said.<br /> "I should go," Kelly said.<br /> "Nope, come on," Ryan said. He made up the spare room and hugged her and left. She laid there on the bed and turned off her location on her phone and shut it off and fell asleep.<br /> Three days later, Kelly went home and found him there sitting on the couch. She went to the bedroom and began packing her bags. She sent a quick text as she packed. He came to the door.<br /> "Kelly please," Mitch said.<br /> "Don't! I don't want to hear any excuses, there is no excuse for what you did, how long has it been going on?" Kelly asked.<br /> "Kelly," Mitch said.<br /> "How long?!" Kelly yelled.<br /> "Three months," Mitch said.<br /> "And you said you loved me," Kelly said.<br /> "I do!" Mitch said.<br /> "No you don't or you never would have slept with her in the first place! No man who says he loves his wife would ever cheat on her! You are not a man, you are nothing!" Kelly yelled.<br /> "Mitch!" Matthew yelled. Matthew cam and pulled his brother away from the door.<br /> "Matt," Mitch said.<br /> "I heard what you did, how could you do that!" Matthew said.<br /> "It was a mistake!" Mitch said.<br /> "A mistake is one time, three months isn't!" Matthew said.<br /> "How did you find out?" Mitch asked.<br /> "From her sister, she told me when I went to get coffee this morning," Matthew said.<br /> "Matt," Mitch said.<br /> "Leave her be, Mitch, go for a walk for an hour and let her get her things out," Matthew said.<br /> "I'm not giving her a divorce," Mitch said.<br /> "You better," Kelly said.<br /> "I don't want to lose you!" Mitch said.<br /> "You lost me the moment you put your manhood inside Delia," Kelly said.<br /> "Go Mitch now!" Matthew said.<br /> "Mitch," Harris said.<br /> "Dad," Mitch said.<br /> "Let's go," Harris said.<br /> "Dad," Mitch said.<br /> "Do not argue with me, let's go for a walk, you will give her what she wants, son, she deserves better than a man who would cheat on his wife," Harris said.<br /> "Like you never cheated," Mitch said.<br /> "I would never do that to your mother, I never cheated on her," Harris said.<br /> "Who is Maria?"

Kelly sat there shaking her head.<br /> "Why did she do that, why does she think I should stand by Mitch after what he did," Kelly said.<br /> "I don't know honey but you have my support," Martha said.<br /> "Thank you Grandma," Kelly said. Matthew came over to them and sat down with them.<br /> "Matthew, how are you," Martha said.<br /> "I'm doing good, Martha, how are you?" Matthew asked.<br /> "I'm doing well, just ashamed of my daughter-in-law right now," Martha said.<br /> "Yeah we heard it all and I can't believe her," Matthew said.<br /> "You are such a good friend to Kelly, thank you for being here for her," Martha said.<br /> "Always will be," Matthew said. Kelly smiled. Martha left an hour later as did Matthew. Kelly sat in her office and did some paperwork. She called Kate and told her what their mother did. She called and told Paul as well. She sat there thinking about everything. She made a call to David to file for the divorce. He said he would have the papers ready in the morning.

Although other people in the pack often bully me, if Calvin is around, I can persevere. On that day, Calvin's birthday, I found out that he had an affair with my sister, and I decided to leave the pack. Just as I was about to leave, Alpha King came to our pack, and he captured everyone.<br /> "You want her? She's a human!"<br /> The king released a roar that made every member of the pack flinch and drop their heads lower in submission. With my face only a few inches from the ground, I watched with terror as the king moved away from me and stood before my biggest bully Kate. <br /> The greater distance between us allowed me to see more of him. He was larger than the other Lycans, his body covered in knotted scars that were visible beneath his fur.<br /> His claw was the size of Kate's head as he punched it through her ch#st, ripping her heart out the other side and sending the pack into a flurry of sobs and terrified mumblings for mercy.<br /> "You will do well to teach your pack to respect those above them." The witch's voice called out again, but I was trapped staring at Kate's body as the king pulled his hand out, and it fell to the ground.<br /> I was aware of him walking back to me, but I couldn’t take my eyes away. It was the large hand that grabbed me by my backpack and lifted me off the ground like a doll that brought me back to reality, and I instinctively met the glowing red eyes of the Lycan King.<br /> His deep voice sent a chill through me as he spoke, "Mine."<br /> ---<br /> Janet's P.O.V.<br /> <br /> I felt uneasy as soon as I entered the pack house. The way my pack mates were smirking at me, laughing behind their hands... I knew they were up to something. Their pranks and bullying had been getting worse and more painful each time they managed to get me alone. My bruises still hadn't gone away from the last time.<br /> <br /> My body ached from the beating I had taken two days ago, but I was only a few hours away from it all ending.<br /> <br /> I just needed to get to Calvin before they set their plan into motion.<br /> <br /> Calvin was my boyfriend of four years. He was the only one that cared for me, and the only one I could trust.<br /> <br /> We were high school sweethearts. He was also the next in line to become the Alpha of our pack. That didn't matter to me, but it did matter to the other women in the pack. They hated that he was with me. They felt that they deserved a stronger Luna than I would be, and they all wanted to be his chosen one.<br /> <br /> I hadn't even shifted yet. To them, I was no more than an omega...a runt as they liked to call me, the weakest of the litter.<br /> <br /> It should have happened three years ago when I turned sixteen, but it didn't. Now I was nineteen, the age at which we could recognize our mates as our wolves should have matured by then. Had I shifted, I would have known Calvin was my mate already, but we had to wait the extra two months until today, his nineteenth birthday, for him to recognize me as his mate.<br /> <br /> Calvin didn't care that I hadn't turned. We had been together since before either of us were old enough to shift, and we were both positive that we were mates. He stood by me and protected me from the cruelty of the wolves around us when I failed to shift with the others.<br /> <br /> 'Calvin? Where are you?' I asked through our pack link but received no response.<br /> <br /> "Poor little human, you have a lot of guts to show up here right now. Do you have any idea how happy the pack is? Having you here will just ruin it. This party is for pack wolves only." Kate, my sister's best friend, said as the crowd parted for her, and the music stopped. All of the party guests stopped dancing and talking to watch as the biggest bully in the pack approached me.<br /> <br /> The flashing lights of varying colors continued in the uncomfortable silence.<br /> <br /> I hoped the man of the hour would see the disruption and step forward to my side, but he didn't. As I glanced around at all of the amused faces, he was nowhere to be seen.<br /> <br /> "Calvin invited me. I am in this pack, and I'm allowed to be here." I whispered, but I could feel the heat building in the back of my eyes as they all laughed again. Something was going on, and it was more than just Kate running her big mouth.<br /> <br /> "Even he doesn't want you here." She sneered before smiling at me widely. "See for yourself. Where is Calvin, hm? I think he went up to his room. You should go bring him back down to the party and see what he has to say."<br /> <br /> I held his present against my chest tighter as I narrowed my eyes. She was up to something, but I wanted to get to Calvin more than I wanted to deal with her b##lsh!t.<br /> <br /> As I took a step forward, Kate stepped to the side, and I could feel everyone watching me with amusement as I went up the stairs.<br /> <br /> Calvin's room was at the end of the hall behind double doors, and I rushed toward it. I could hear people coming up the stairs behind me, no doubt being led by Kate, but my salvation was only a few feet away.<br /> <br /> As soon as I got in his room, I could close the door and act as if none of them existed.<br /> <br /> It would just be the two of us.<br /> <br /> There was a stirring in the back of my mind as I wrapped my hand around the cold doorknob. It was a warning, telling me not to go inside. It wanted me to turn around and run, knowing this was a trap. Yet, I turned the knob anyway and pushed the door open.<br /> <br /> The loud moan of the female beneath my boyfriend made me freeze, and I stared wide-eyed at the couple tangled together. <br /> <br /> Calvin thr#st into her quickly, releasing his own groans of pleasure.<br /> <br /> My stomach tied in a knot, and it felt hard to breathe. The small spark of light in my life was extinguished, sending my mind into complete darkness as I processed what I was seeing.<br /> <br /> He lifted his head, meeting my tear-streaked face, but not seeing me as his wolf was in control. His canines extended just before he latched onto her neck, puncturing the skin and marking her as his mate.<br /> <br /> My sister.<br /> <br /> "No," I whispered as my hand covered my mouth. Calvin pulled back snarling at the disruption.<br /> <br /> "I told you he didn't want you," Kate whispered into my ear, and my sister laughed from beneath my boyfriend as she reached up and ran her hand through Calvin's short blonde hair.<br /> <br /> "Would you mind closing the door, Janet?" Kelly asked innocently, but the malicious look in her narrowed eyes showed she was pleased by her victory over me. Not only had she stolen the love of my life, but she was now to be his Luna. "I'm trying to have a private moment with my mate."<br /> <br /> Mate.<br /> <br /> The word seemed so empty now. Calvin had hated Kelly. He had watched how mean she was toward me and resented her. Now, he was baring his teeth at me, defending her.<br /> <br /> "How could you?" I choked out as a sob wracked through my ch#st, and the present in my hold dropped to the floor before me. The sudden and loud noise seemed to snap Calvin back into control, and his eyes returned to their normal brown.<br /> <br /> His jaw dropped open as he glanced from me to my sister with guilt, but he didn't look the least bit regretful. He was happy to have found and marked his mate, he only hated that he had been caught cheating. The torn look on his face only made me angrier as he gasped my name while he pulled out of my sister. She sat up as he climbed to his feet, neither of them ashamed to be seen n@#ed.<br /> <br /> "Janet, I…" He said, stepping forward and causing me to take a step away, only to be pushed back toward him by the crowd of on-lookers.<br /> <br /> I stumbled forward, trying to stay as far away from him as possible.<br /> <br /> The steady stream of tears blurred my vision, and my ch#st hurt as he whispered my name again. "Janet…She’s, my mate." He finally announced, causing the house to cheer in celebration that their future Luna had been claimed.

See end of comments for YOUTUBE VIDEO LINK<br /> <br /> THIS IS AN AS-IS SALE OF RAM 3500 2WD DUALLY. RECENTLY SMOGGED AND REGISTERED IN CALIFORNIA.<br /> <br /> BUY IT NOW PRICE SET THOUSANDS BELOW KELLY BLUE BOOK "WHOLESALE" (TRADE-IN) VALUE. PRICE IS SET LOW DUE TO THE MECHANICAL WORK IT NEEDS AND THIS BEING AN AS-IS SALE.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Truck runs well. Just towed a 30 foot car trailer (with a car in it) to Vegas and back from Los Angeles. However, there is an error indicating the "Exhaust Filter Full - Power Reduced. There are other error codes that come up as well. Per a mechanic friend, who did NOT extensively go over the truck, just gave an opinion based on the errors and a quick glance, indicated that it needs Extensive Maintenance. But the reasons for the codes have not been diagnosed. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> We just bought the truck a few months ago. Had planned to use it as a work truck, but ended up buying a brand new one after all. I simply don't have time to deal with whatever this one needs. As noted above, it runs and drives well, if driven appropriately. Made it to Vegas and back with no problems. Speed was a little slow due to the forced "reduced power", but the mechanic said once all the extensive maintenance is completed, codes can possibly be cleared.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Truck has 237,000 miles on it, but as most of you know, these diesel engines will go 500,000 miles, generally with few problems. Especially if they are properly maintained. It appears that the prior owner was lazy when it came to recent maintenance. Carfax report shows good maintenance history through 2020. A buyer purchased it in 2023 with just under 230,000 miles, yet listed it just 3 months later. It sold to a dealer 06/2023 with 235,000 miles. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> As I can offer no guarantee's as to the problem(s), the fact that it runs and drives well leads me to believe that the mechanic who very briefly glanced at it, "MIGHT" be accurate. He did indicate however, that the necessary maintenance needed could be costly. While the truck runs well, even at reduced power, the engine does have blowby, which could be for any number of reasons. Again, I HAVE NOT had the problems diagnosed. As such, it's best to ASSUME THE WORST AND HOPE FOR THE BEST, that way there are no surprises. Based on the way it runs, chances are, if assuming the worst, you'll be pleasantly surprised if it does in fact just need extensive maintenance. With the blowby, it could need new rings. Could be a turbo issue creating it as well. Again, have not had it diagnosed completely to know what the problem is, therefore cannot provide that answer. Simply do not have the time to deal with it, thus am offering it to someone willing to repair it. These trucks, with no major issues, are selling in the $23,000 price range. This one, could go as low as HALF PRICE. It's being offered at HALF PRICE because it has some issues. The fact that it runs and drives well, is a positive sign. If it's just rings, it will burn some oil, but could potentially be driven for a while before making any repairs. Again, I don't know what the problem is, therefore, offer no guarantees or warranties, written expressed nor implied or otherwise. This is an AS-IS sale of a 13 year old truck with 237,000 miles on it. <br /> <br /> View the video and photos in detail to see the condition of the truck. Again, it is a 13 year old 237,000 mile vehicle that needs some repairs. The tires have tread, but appear to be quite dated and likely should be replaced. I can't make it any clearer that it is an AS-IS sale of a 13 year old truck that is going to need repairs. Sadly, some people with no common sense expect to get a truck at half the price and for it to be perfect. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> I am offering it as a NO RESERVE AUCTION. So, whatever the bids get up to is what it will sell for. Wholesale Kelly Blue Book value is over $20,000. That reflects estimated trade-in value if I were to sell it to a dealer. I don't think you can find one for under $20,000 in this condition. However much below that price that this truck ultimately gets bid up to will be a huge savings that can be applied toward the cost of the necessary repairs / maintenance. <br /> <br /> PRICE REFLECTS IT BEING SOLD IN AS-IS CONDITION. SELLER OFFERS NO WRITTEN, EXPRESSED NOR IMPLIED WARRANTY. BUYER ACCEPTS THIS BY CHOOSING TO BID ON THE VEHICLE. AS NOTED, SEVERAL ERROR CODES ARE BEING REFLECTED AND THE ENGINE HAS BLOWBY, WHICH COULD BE FOR ANY NUMBER OF REASONS. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Aside from the necessary maintenance / repairs it needs as noted above, the truck is exceptionally clean for its age / mileage. That doesn’t mean it’s perfect. It is a 13 year old truck with 237,000 miles. By bidding on this truck, you understand that it is a used vehicle in need of maintenance / repairs and bid freely knowing it will result in the As-Is sale of the vehicle. Buyer accepts full responsibility for the vehicle from the date of purchase forward.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The exterior paint has some fading on the upward facing portions of the body, however, the body is almost perfectly straight. Just a few minor dings found that you have to look pretty closely to find. Interior, aside from the center console armrest, which has a little bit of excess wear (see photo), the interior otherwise shows no excess wear. Seats and materials are still in pretty good shape. No major dents or scratches. Tailgate is perfectly straight. This again, does not mean that all other items are perfect. If you go over it with a magnifying glass, you may find some other items that need repair, but other than the items noted above, nothing APPEARS to be out of the ordinary for a vehicle of this age and mileage. There could be other cosmetic items needed. Again, view the photos and video closely. <br /> <br /> Simply for cosmetic reasons, I just replaced the front and rear bumpers as the chrome was looking aged. Also, the headlights were aged as well, so replaced both headlight housings. Neither had any damage, but like the paint on the upward facing surfaces, had some notable wear. Just those two changes helped refresh the look of the truck. In these respects, the truck is superior to most trucks of similar age and mileage as most do not have new bumpers and headlights. <br /> <br /> If the paint is something important to you, can fix that and this thing would look pretty good. Other than the few minor dings, wouldn't need any actual body work. With the silver paint, the faded areas don't really stand out like a sore thumb and I assume most wouldn't do anything about it. The truck still looks good. Again, just do the required maintenance / repairs and it should be a great truck for years and hundreds of thousands of miles to come!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> With the necessary maintenance / repairs, this will likely be a great truck for another 200,000+ miles.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> I’ve included several high-resolution photos to show its condition as well as a link to a full walk-around and startup video.<br /> <br /> Truck has a clean title. Carfax shows one "MINOR" incident back in 2013 when the truck was just two years old. That was two owners ago. I do not have specific details beyond what Carfax shows, which shows MINOR Left front damage. The truck has been driven another 11 years and some 200,000 miles since then, so apparently there have been no lingering issues from whatever the MINOR damage was 11 years ago. Per Carfax "Minor damage is usually cosmetic, including dents or scratches to the vehicle body". Our inspection of the vehicle, we are not able to determine where any repairs were made, thus was certainly nothing structural. <br /> <br /> Youtube Video Link…..<br /> <br /> <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FjV3EYCSYLmE&h=AT30w75QHZoIVKh6rFNkya6z11FwIC5r6TvxeV8YAF_kKm2l7Fnrafhh9s91mTYUZmhlG3xqodHmPm7pa8w3L2om7z7O97Pw2MhpjvVMnKDTfe6Z3HzCKLWsPXW7fWJzRB6wLk-y8vb4grG5wN-fmMcCH14MB6hOJlAhKqF-cnM" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank" data-lynx-mode="asynclazy">https://youtu.be/jV3EYCSYLmE</a><br /> <br /> Check my EBAY feedback. I tend to over-exaggerate any issues in an effort to Undersell and Over-Deliver. The photos and videos however, speak for themselves. <br /> <br /> Southern owned truck since new. Texas and New Mexico prior to 2023, which is likely where the paint fading came from (hot sun in those states). But, that means unlikely to ever have been in the snow. No rust noted. <br /> <br /> Truck now registered in California through January, 2025. Smog completed in January and good for 90 days for new buyer, if sold to California buyer. <br /> <br /> For someone looking for a Ram Dually that is in pretty decent cosmetic shape, this thing will be a bargain at thousands and thousands less than what these trucks sell for. As noted, these things commonly sell around $23,000. If this sells for half that and needs $2,000 to $5,000 worth of repairs, you'd have a refreshed truck for under $17,000 and could potentially flip it for a profit. If this auction is not successful, despite not having time to deal with it, hence the reason for being willing to let it go for HALF THE PRICE, I may change my thinking and just go ahead to get it diagnosed, fixed and either, keep it or resell it at market value once it's done.<br /> <br /> BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PICKING UP THE VEHICLE AND/OR MAKING ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE IT SHIPPED / TRANSPORTED TO YOUR LOCATION. BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PICKING UP THE TRUCK OR HAVING IT SHIPPED / TRANSPORTED TO THE BUYER'S LOCATION. <br /> <br /> CLEAN TITLE, in-hand. <br /> <br /> NOTE:<br /> <br /> THIS IS AN AS-IS LISTING OF A 13 YEAR OLD TRUCK WITH 237,000 MILES ON IT. WHILE THE TRUCK RUNS WELL, IT IS FULLY DISCLOSED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON WITH THE ABOVE NOTED ERROR MESSAGE AND THAT THE COMPUTER SHOWS CODES FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS WHEN PLUGGING IT IN. IT IS DISCLOSED THAT THE ENGINE HAS BLOWBY. IT IS ALSO DISCLOSED THAT IT HAS SOME COSMETIC ITEMS THAT COULD NEED REPAIR. IT IS REMINDED THAT AS A 13 YEAR OLD, 237,000 MILE TRUCK, IT IS NOT PERFECT. IT IS AN "AS-IS" SALE. THIS IS THE PRIMARY REASON WHY IT IS BEING SOLD IN A NO RESERVE AUCTION AND WILL LIKELY SELL AT WAY BELOW MARKET VALUE. THE VERY LOW PRICE TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THAT, AS A 237,000 MILE TRUCK, IN NEED OF SOME MECHANICAL REPAIRS. WHILE THE TRUCK RUNS WELL, THIS IS AN EXISTING ISSUE THAT I AM NOTING IN THE INTEREST OF FULL DISCLOSURE. THE CHECK ENGINE, ERROR CODES AND BLOWBY CAN BE TRIGGERED BY ANY NUMBER OF THINGS. OFTEN TIMES, THEY ARE DUE TO REGULAR MAINTENANCE ITEMS. IF FILTER IS FILLED WITH OIL, IT CAN CAUSE BLOWBY. THE TURBO CAN CAUSE BLOWBY. LOOSE PISTON RINGS CAN CAUSE BLOWBY. BUT, BLOWBY CAN ALSO BE CAUSED BY MANY OTHER REASONS. THE COMPUTER CODES CAN ALL BE RELATED TO THE SAME PROBLEM OR BE INDIVIDUAL PROBLEMS. AS I HAVE NOT HAD THE PROBLEMS DIAGNOISED, I OFFER NO GUARANTEE AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM(S) MAY BE, HENCE WHY THIS BEING OFFERED IN A NO RESERVE AUCTION "AS-IS" WITH NO WARRANTIES AND LIKELY AT THOUSANDS LESS THAN WHAT MOST OF THESE TRUCKS SELL FOR. AM DISCLOSING THIS FULLY, UPFRONT AND SELLING THE TRUCK IN ITS AS-IS CONDITION. BY BIDDING AND WINNING THE AUCTION, YOU AGREE TO ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE TRUCK AND ACCEPT THAT ANY KNOWN ISSUES HAVE BEEN DISCLOSED AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT THERE ARE LIKELY OTHER ISSUES WHICH ARE STILL TO BE DETERMINED THAT ARE NOT DISCLOSED AS THE TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEMS ARE. IT IS ALSO NOTED THAT IT IS A 13 YEAR OLD TRUCK WITH 237,000 MILES AND OTHER MAINTENANCE ITEMS COULD BE NEEDED. AS NOTED, TIRES ARE DATED. OTHER COSMETIC OR WEAR ITEMS COULD ALSO BE NEEDED. AS NOTED ABOVE, BID BASED ON THE WORST CASE SCENARIO AND HOPEFULLY THE ISSUES ARE LESS SIGNIFICANT. THERE IS NO INTENDED, WRITTEN OR IMPLIED WARRANTY INCLUDED WITH THE SALE OF THE TRUCK. BUYER ACCEPTS FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY AND ALL REPAIRS THE TRUCK MAY NEED. THE SELLER IS NOT AWARE OF ANY OTHER KNOWN ISSUES. AS NOTED, THE TRUCK RUNS WELL. BUT IS IN NEED OF SOME MECHANICAL REPAIRS AS NOTED AND AS TO BE DETERMINED. AGAIN, THE VERY LOW PRICE IT WILL SELL AT, TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THAT THIS IS A HIGH MILEAGE VEHICLE THAT IS CURRENTLY IN NEED OF SOME TYPE OF REPAIRS TO RESOLVE WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, BLOWBY EXISTS AND ERROR CODES SHOW UP WHEN PLUGGING INTO THE COMPUTER. THIS IS WHY ITS BEING OFFERED IN A NO RESERVE AS-IS AUCTION. COULD BE A SIMPLE FIX? BUT, BECAUSE THE TRUE ISSUES HAVE NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED, I CAN'T SAY WITH CERTAINTY AS TO WHAT THE TRUCK NEEDS TO CLEAR THE ERROR CODES AND/OR SOLVE THE BLOWBY ISSUES. I'M MAKING SURE IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS IS AN AS-IS SALE. TRUCK WILL CERTAINLY SELL FAR LOWER THAN WHAT OTHER SIMILAR TRUCKS ARE SELLING FOR. THAT HUGE PRICE REDUCTION IS THE SELLERS ONLY ASSISTANCE TOWARD MAKING ANY REPAIRS NECESSARY. THE SELLER WILL NOT CONTRIBUTE TOWARD ANY REPAIRS ONCE THE SALE IS FINAL, REGARDLESS IF ADDITIONAL ITEMS ARE DISCOVERED.<br /> Facebook Marketplace	CONTACT_US	https://facebook.com/marketplace/item/814023877220	107988637768944	Nick Joanides	/marketplace/?seller_profile=1424979816	0	1	796,450,888,580,572	2024-04-09 02:00	regular_page	eligible	NONE	0	1	1	Contact us	Nick Joanides	6583651804266		NONE	image		https://facebook.com/marketplace/item/814023877220308/		2024-04-09 10:18		regular_page	1	Nick Joanides	https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/435703190_1562063441192255_478703078015759511_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=scp_RKpkcbcAb6ON_N-&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.xx&oh=00_AfBCACkJkEEKIW7PSdsW2xz4RVeYTWCfRSCqpv6f5d2FQg&oe=661BBD72	1	3	Nick Joanides	2024-04-09 02:00	View Edit Delete
