“Not me, I’m a total sucker for blue eyes…and maybe someone who’s not a warrior.”
“Really…no warriors?”
“Yeah, it’s just a scary job, always worrying about their safety during battles. I’ve worried enough about my parents and sister over the years, it’d be nice not to worry about my mate.”
“Are you okay with your mate worrying about you then?” I asked, genuinely curious about her response.
“Well…maybe my mate will end up being from a different pack, and then I won’t have to be a warrior anymore.”
“Do you not like being a warrior?” Rory asked.
“It’s all I’ve ever known,” she shrugged, “but sometimes I think about how I might have liked going to college.”
“I sometimes wish I could go to college too.” Rory looked over at the television to hide her sadness. “The credits are on…we were so busy talking that we missed the ending.”
We rewound the parts we missed and then spent the rest of the night talking about anything and everything, as long as it wasn’t sad. Seeing Rory and Hadley together gave me a crazy idea though. I just hope my idea works out in my favor.

I rolled over as the sun broke through my window. The light made my head throb worse than it was already throbbing. I must have had way too much to drink last night for me to have a hangover as wolves could handle their liquor fairly well. I went to get up, but I was stopped when I noticed the arm draped over my waist.
Fuck! I can’t believe I let Evie back in my bed.
‘You and me both.’
‘Really, Ax, I’m not in the mood for your commentary right now…if you’d control your anger a little better, then we wouldn’t be in this mess.’
‘Hey, don’t blame me for not being able to keep your cock in your pants, you dickhead.’
Ax could be such an ass sometimes, but other than his anger outbursts, we usually worked well together. That is until Wildfire attacked my pack and we found out my dad betrayed us.
Ax had never complained about me sleeping around with girls who weren’t my mate, which was unusual for a wolf. He sure didn’t like me messing around with Evie, though. Unfortunately, having Evie in my bed seemed to be the only thing that calmed the overwhelming feelings of anger coursing through me.
I thought things would get better by talking to Gema more often, but that just made me feel shittier than usual. Noah and Jordan had been busy with their siblings, while I was left on my own. It wasn’t fair that my sister was still stuck with the enemy…and all because of our dad.
The full moon run last night didn’t help any either as it should have been Gema’s first run with us…with her family. When the guys took off with their siblings, it made me feel alone, so when Evie offered to keep me company, I took her up on the offer. We headed up to my room with a couple of bottles of tequila, and she let me have her a few times. She was good in bed, so it wasn’t exactly a chore being with her, but waking up next to her was a whole different game that I could have done without.
“Babe, come back to bed.” She tried to pull me back down to her as I got up.
“Actually, I’m good. You should probably head out now.” I walked to my bathroom and started the shower, hoping she would be gone by the time I got out. I closed my eyes and let the warm water run down my body as I brushed back my hair. It had gotten longer over the last few weeks, but I had been too preoccupied to even think about getting a haircut. I didn’t mind it, so I thought maybe I’d leave it.
I heard the door to the bathroom open and opened my eyes to see that Evie had let herself in. She walked into the shower and bent down in front of me before grabbing my cock and wrapping her mouth around me. I had already told myself to stop this, but I seemed to forget all about that as the feeling of her tongue and mouth on me erased all other thoughts. I rammed into her mouth hard and yanked back on her hair, putting her mouth right where I needed it. She let me fuck her mouth until I got my release, and then she stood up and tried to cuddle me and get her own release, but I wasn’t in the mood for it. I didn’t want Evie, I just wanted to forget about all the crap going on right now.
“Get out,” I told her coldly as she tried to wrap her arms around my neck.
“Oh, but babe. Didn’t I make you feel good? I can keep doing that if you’ll let me.”
“I need you to go. Last night shouldn’t have happened, and I don’t want my friends to see you coming out of my room.”
I stepped back into the water, hoping she’d take the hint. I know I sounded rude, but I didn’t have the patience for her and her emotions right now. Hell, Ax and I barely had the patience for our own emotions.
“Whatever then. You’ll be crawling back to me anyway, just like you have been these last few nights.” She got a towel and wrapped it around herself as she huffed. The feelings of self-loathing started to pop up, and I hated that I was losing sight of myself in all of this mess with my dad and sister.
I finished up my shower and got dressed. Luckily, Evie had left just like I had told her, but I still felt like shit about everything.
I heard a knock on the door just as I finished tying my shoes. Noah stood there, waiting for me on the other side of the door.
