Page 47 of Her Shifter Pack

Yet hearing my words come out of her luscious, poisonous mouth, they sounded wrong. I didn’t believe them anymore.

My glare made her take a step back. “Nance. Get out of the way. I’m going home to Lexie. I don’t know if she’ll be my mate, or what’s happening there, but you and I are done. You need to find another fuck friend.”

I walked around her and left the house, shuddering at the dirty feeling I had all over my body. Was this what it felt like to be content? To be happy with the woman I was with?

I’d never known this feeling before. Even on nights where I’d had sex—hell, even a threesome with two hot women—it didn’t stop me looking for the next one as soon as we were done. I was never satisfied, the heat in my blood never quenched. But as I drove home to my house on the outskirts of town, my wolf slept happily.

I’d truly never known such peace.

When I pulled up outside the house, my phone rang, and I answered. It was my dad.

“Markus. Your mother and I need to have a word.”

“Now?” I asked, turning off the ignition and leaning back in the seat. I was finally home. Couldn’t it wait?

“Preferably. Can you come right away?”

I frowned. “What about Ollie?” My parents never spoke to us separately, especially not about anything important.

“We just need to speak to you. If you’re free, come by.”

“I’m free,” I confirmed, aching to go inside, but feeling like my parents’ fears needed addressing. Mom had already upset Lexie once. I didn’t want her doing it again.

“We’re home,” Dad said.

So I started the truck once more and set off, hoping that Lexie had found something to occupy her afternoon, because I was learning more about myself today than I ever thought possible. And I couldn’t wait to get back to her.

LEXIE

When there was another knock on the door, I raced for it. Was it Ollie? Or had Markus come home again?

I missed them, and I wanted to tell them about the interviews I had lined up for this week. I may not be a college graduate, and Anne would probably never like me, but at least their wolf shifter family and friends would never be able to say that I sponged off the twins.

The last person I expected to see on the other side of the door was the bitch from Walmart.
