Before I could say anything else, a contented internal sigh breezed through my mind. My bear sensed something that made it pleased and tranquil. I knew what it was before I turned. April had pulled up into the driveway behind my truck. Catching sight of her car made my stomach flip-flop. When she stepped out…

“Okay, for real, I’m trying to make amends,” Steff said. “I know one dinner, even twenty, may not be enough. I need to start somewhere, though.” “Why now?” I asked, surprised by his honesty. “When else? If not now, then when? You don’t come home much. As far as I know, you haven’t been back…

Miles leaned back and spread his arms. “Dude, you own 25 percent of this place. I’m not your boss.” I stepped inside and sat down. “Yeah, I know, just wanted to let you know.” “Okay, cool. Whatever. Let’s talk about real stuff. How’s it going with your new plan? With April, I mean.” “Could be…

“So, what’s going on with you and April?” he asked. My eyes widened in surprise. “I just want to make things right,” I said, being careful with my words. “There are some things I need to tell her, and I don’t want to miss the opportunity while she’s in town.” “I don’t know if you…

The deputy walked back to his car, and I moved April to her house. She was hissing into my ear about what a dick the cop was being, and I hustled her faster before he could hear any of her expletives. I got her inside and the door closed before I let her unload. “That…

The Larry guy, the one who had us set up her home security system?” “I remember.” The way-over-the-top guy. I was glad Miles did most of the communication with him. I didn’t know how…

APRIL Aiden’s first game was that. He’d invited me to come watch it, like, five times, and there was no way I was going to miss it. Plus, both my brothers and Chelsea would be there. The baseball game would be fun, and cheering on Aiden would be the highlight of my day, but I…

Turning our attention back to the game, it became evident that Aiden was a beast on the field. As the innings went on, it was obvious he was the best player. He hit two home runs—one in the fourth, and one in the sixth. He also was crazy fast in the outfield. He ran down…

My brother and his other shifter friends teased and bullied me. It was the only way he could have any power over me. It was always name-calling and embarrassing stuff. He knew I was stronger. One day, when I was twelve, he decided to try to do more than just torment me. He and five…

After work, I went home, showered quickly and shaved. I didn’t get overly dressed up as we’d decided to go to the steakhouse downtown. For how small Lilly Valley was, the restaurant was a hidden gem. Not only did they serve beef, but they specialized in more adventurous stuff such as elk, deer, bison. Some…
