2021-12-10 02:11:11“Alright, so maybe he can use me to get a rise out of Asher.” I sighed under my breath, wincing when Brandon’s fist slammed into Asher’s jaw. My mate absorbed the hit with a straight face, his golden eyes bright with anger as he grabbed his brother by the throat and shoved him back.
Brandon, as cocky as ever despite the massive hangover he was sporting, quickly regained his balance. His dark hair was messy on his head and lacked the charm of naturally t

Reunion
Reunion Lola’s P.O.V. 10 Years Later… “Ramona, so help me! If you don’t stop stealing your cousin’s toys I’m going to sick Aunty Ember on you, and you know she won’t hold back.” I shouted from the kitchen, craning my head to look over my shoulder where I locked eyes with my dashing mate. Asher was leaned against the wall, his arms downright bite-able in the fitted t-shirt he wore. He brought the beer in his hand to his mouth, lips twisted in a knowing smirk that had me contemplating a fourth child. If this man doesn’t calm down, we’re going to have to hire a second nanny. He returned his attention to Zeke and Brandon as though our little heated exchange hadn’t occurred. On cue, Ramona let out a shrill scream that quickly morphed into pulses of erratic laughter. A familiar pang of longing hit my chest as it did every time I heard my daughter’s laugh. She sounds just like Mom. Ember’s monstrous roar emerged from the living room, followed by a cacophony of giggles from the other c
Ember & Brandon
Ember and BrandonSeven Years Later – Ember’s P.O.V.“Darcy Mathews, if I see so much as a single snowflake in the bathroom’s you’ll find yourself in detention for a week.”This was the fourth time this month that the pipes had nearly burst from being frozen solid. Damn water elementals.The squirrely brunette with her spattering of cinnamon freckles jumped a foot off the ground at the sound of my voice, unwittingly letting out a pulse of elemental magic that spiraled down the corridor in a gust of chilly wind. It slammed several lockers shut, startling a handful of students.“Sorry Headmistress.” She hung her head sheepishly.There was once a time where Tessa and I couldn’t control our magic. It was easier for my twin. No one looked twice when you sprouted flowers in your wake or animated the topiary bushes trimmed into animals. Starting fires, however, that drew attention.“It’s alright…” I sighed, taking it easy just this once. I already had a reputation of being a hard ass, but on
Tessa & Zeke
Tessa and ZekeSix Years Later – Tessa’s P.O.V.“What do you say we wrap up early and head out to the cabin—just the two of us?”A voice I spent the last six years memorizing called out from across the room. I lifted my head from the mountain of paperwork I was sorting through, a smile already tugging at my lips as I spotted the playful light shimmering in Zeke’s eyes.My mate and fiancé—a term I couldn’t seem to stop using—was peering at me from across our shared office, a shameless grin tugging at his velvet soft lips. I drummed my fingers across the top of the desk, tapping out a pattern that filled the silence between us.A jolt of electricity crackled along my skin, delving past my flesh to settle in my stomach. Once upon a time, I couldn’t bare more than a few seconds staring into those eyes of his. Now I couldn’t seem to get enough.We’d come so far from where we’d once been. Not as far as Ember and Brandon, who had a sea of troubles even six years later, but those two were ano
Breyona & Giovanni
Breyona & GiovanniFive Years Later – Breyona’s P.O.V.I appeared in a plume of inky shadow, emerging from the darkness like I’d been there all along. If there were any humans nearby—which my hearing told me there wasn’t—they’d see nothing more than a lingering shadow dancing along the brick walls of the abandoned store front I lurked outside of.This wasn’t my ideal hangout spot, but for whatever reason, this was where Freya had chosen to hide a bunch of magical texts and artifacts. I absolutely adored my job of traveling the country via shadows, collecting information that was thought to be lost among the witches.It was similar to what my parents had done, a realization that never failed to bring tears to my eyes.Even after all these years, I missed them so much.I slinked along the back wall, past the rusted dumpsters that hadn’t been used in Goddess knows how long, to the backdoor Ember’s source promised would be unlocked. Sure enough, when I tugged the handle, it swung open wit
Clara & Mason
Clara & MasonFour Years Later – Clara’s P.O.V.“Don’t you dare, little witch.” Mason warned in a low voice.A shiver worked it’s way down my spine when he placed his hand against my back. Even through the thin fabric of the dress I wore, I could feel the heat he exuded. One of the first things I’d learned about Werewolves was that they ran hot. Despite how hard I tried, a smile worked it’s way onto my face. My chest quite literally ached with the urge to cackle, but I couldn’t help it. It’s not my fault Tristan’s expression was absolutely to die for. Even Lola was having a hard time containing herself, snickering behind her hand as she watched the scene unfold.Tristan had been locked in place for the last minute in a half, staring at Holly like she had grown three extra heads. No one could blame the poor guy considering he was the only one who didn’t know his mate was pregnant.“You’re pregnant.” He repeated for the thirteenth time.A laugh exploded from my mouth seconds before Ma
Holly & Tristan
Holly and TristanThree Years Later – Holly’s P.O.V.The breeze was blissfully cold against my skin, the sunlight a slight tingle that rippled over my exposed arms and shoulders.Winter was approaching, tainting the air with its crisp scent. No matter how much I ventured outdoors and basked in the sunlight, I wasn’t sure I’d ever get enough. Even though I burned easily—thank you, Vampire genetics—it was a wonderful taste of freedom that I’d never take for granted.The shrill screams of children playing pierced my ears. I didn’t find it irksome the way some of the parents here did. Despite how loud they were, their wails were full of joy and innocence that could never be replicated or replaced.I looked up from the stack of papers in my hands, focusing on the children racing across the mulch just ten feet away. The tiny font had been giving me a headache for the past two hours now.“Honey, you need to stop and tie your shoe! You’re going to trip and fall.” The woman on the bench beside

where is Brittany? in all this.
transition with this chapter and this next is lacking.
love this book
I love this book. I didn't pay much attention to the repeat of storyline. it's kinda like life. we continue to live thru whatever pain we go thru thru every person we come in contact with. it's like telling your friend something but you gotta remind them why whatever your saying is important.
first i havent been able to put this book down. second i absolutely love it. third i will be completely heartbroken if she doesnt end up with both alpha and tristan.
I love the story, but the repetition of explanations is getting annoying. I have read the book from beginning, I don’t need to be told 10 times mason’s mate was killed by the shadows. Just move forward with the story. I can’t see people starting a book from the middle.
I’m kind of over the repetitive chapters. It keeps telling the same story or restating what has happened in past chapters. We are reading the book, we know what happened!
are the people who say omg love this chapter reading the same thing I am. so confused how we got to brandon hitting asher when they were going to pick up Zeke
My thoughts exactly ...
My thoughts exactly
Did they just forget that Brittany isn’t dead and is still out there
I'm also confused. Did you miss a chapter? How did it go from Zeke to Brandon?
I wish that you hadn’t of went to the same thing happening with the murders. I mean I expect trouble for them but was hoping it wouldn’t be the same. I love Asher and Lola. I kind of feel like Brandon is bad news. I feel bad for Sean and Mason, wish they had second chance mates.
It’s really hard to get back into this story….
From the Sorority and or Campus paper.
Unless I've missed something with Brittany, I think she has something to do with the murders.
I wish she would have called on the shadows and offered Carson's blood for the name of who killed him. I don't know the rules on how fresh the blood needs to be but I think they could make it work.
This story bunches together. First Asher and her were in their house on the phone with Zeke. Now he is getting punched by Brandon who isn’t at their home so what is going on how did they go from one to the other so fast?
Seriously though, why write in Mason mourning his mates death for months when she already rejected him months BEFORE that? How pathetic can someone get?
how does Zeke run his pack if he's always partying and hanging out with Asher?
When do you update? Love this story line.
Brittany working with the vampires?
Great book looking forward to reading the rest of it
omg loooooovvvveee these books can't wait for more chapters ...
I had actually forgotten about the murders in the previous book ... ... good reminder ....... Enjoying this 2nd book so far ...
she needs to use the shadows to find and punish who did this
Awesome book..
Loving the way the second story is going so far for the most part. Alpha Asher part 1 will forever be my favorite. But hoping this will be a close second.
I wanna party with zeke
Where has Tristan been all this time?
