We chatted throughout the day as we waited in lines, took a bunch of silly pictures, and overall had a lot of fun. We even saw the sunset from the top of the tallest roller coaster, which was magical. I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss having my mate around, but I also loved hanging out with my new friends.

By nightfall, we were tired and hungry. Thankfully, Nisha had made reservations for us in a nearby restaurant calledWolf’s Howl. It was frequented exclusively by supernatural creatures, which allowed us to be a little less secretive about our true nature. We could joke around and talk about our werewolf side without fear of being heard, and the food was also amazing.

The three of us were having so much fun, we barely noticed time fly by. Before I knew it, our night was over. We hopped back in the car to make our way back home. During our night drive, I felt grateful for having been granted a fresh start in a new pack with such amazing people. As crazy as life was at the moment, with dangers lurking around every corner, prophecies, hidden pasts and switched wolves, I felt lucky to have found a new family.

It was past 11:00 p.m. when we made it back to Wind Howlers. Exhausted, we were ready to head straight to our rooms, but an unexpected sight just as we entered the pack house made us all stop. Standing in front of us were the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, dressed in…robes?

“Good evening, ladies,” Malin was the first one to speak, his eyes locked on his Beta Female.

“We couldn’t stop thinking about you while you were out...” Zephyr’s husky voice was music to my ears. His predatory stare as he undressed me with his eyes was enough to set my insides on fire. “So, we decided to prepare a little surprise for you.”

My Alpha and his Beta exchanged glances. Their hands traveled to the ribbon tied around their waists that secured their robes shut, keeping their bodies hidden. My heart raced in anticipation, but before they did anything, their eyes landed on the Gamma standing between them.

“Come on, Zach!” Malin elbowed him.

“I’m not doing it!” his friend hissed.

“Oh, yes, you are!” Nisha stepped in, jumping into her mate’s arms and ripping his robe off herself. The other two men shrugged before turning to us again, and the next second, my jaw dropped.

Beneath the thin silk robe, Zephyr was dressed only in black boxers and suspenders. A white bow tie around his neck finished the look. From the corner of my eye, I noticed that Malin was wearing a similar outfit, but my gaze was locked on my delicious mate. Goddess, he was dressed as a male stripper! I had no idea what was going on, but boy, did I love what I was seeing.

I barely had time to react before my mate inched closer, dancing sexily around me. I froze in my spot, focused on simply watching him, but he wanted more. He grabbed both my hands, bringing them up to his bare chest. Heat pooled between my legs the second I felt his skin underneath my palms. He wrapped his strong arms around me, pulling me closer. Just then, a gasp escaped my lips as his erection pressed against me. Instinctively, my eyes traveled to the bulge in his boxers.

“You like what you see, don’t you, sunrise?” he whispered into my ear, sniffing the air hungrily. A second later, a growl let me know he could already smell my arousal.

I turned around and noticed that both of my friends, as well as their mates, had already disappeared. Our girls night had taken a sudden turn, but I wasn’t complaining. Once the shock of the surprise was gone, I threw my arms around Zephyr’s neck, allowing myself to enjoy the moment.

“Let’s go upstairs,” I demanded, not bothering to hide the fire he had ignited inside of me.

“Anything for you, my Luna,” he replied before lifting me in his arms, kissing me passionately as he carried me to our room.

I wish all nights could end like this.

There’s nothing better than waking up next to my beautiful mate on a Saturday morning, when there’s no rush to get out of bed. I loved that she was a late riser, as it allowed me a moment to simply watch her sleep.

Drawn to the precious sight before me, I moved closer to her as slowly as I could, diving my nose into her smooth caramel blonde waves. Inhaling her heavenly scent was the best way to start the day; it filled me with serenity and cleared my mind. My arms were wrapped around her, feeling the thin fabric of the white button-up shirt she had borrowed from me. I was only wearing my underwear, and I craved to feel her skin on mine, but I didn’t have the heart to wake her up. She looked so peaceful.

Still, I couldn’t resist the urge to subtly slide my hand under her only piece of clothing. A groan echoed in my chest at the feeling of her soft skin under my fingertips. I slowly caressed her waist and stomach, drawing circles around her belly button. I knew I should let her rest after the wild night we had, but at the same time, I couldn’t wait for her to be up.

It had been my idea to dress provocatively and wait for her return the night before. Malin was eager to join me, and we somehow convinced Zach to do the same. Valentina had only been gone for a few hours, but I missed her so much. When I saw the hunger burning in her golden eyes, I couldn’t control myself.I would have taken her in the front hall had she not insisted we go up to our room.

When I threw her onto the bed, I remembered the outfit I was wearing - the outfit I had donned just for her. That’s when I decided to not let it go to waste and embodied the character. I told Valentina to keep her hands off me while I sensually danced for her, and though she wasn’t too fond of the idea at first, I was more than sure she enjoyed the show. As I recalled the way she begged me to take her, I couldn’t help but get hard all over again. Out of instinct, I squeezed her thigh, immediately feeling her move in surprise.

Her alarmed expression soon turned into a playful one. “Well, good morning to my favorite stripper. Can’t keep your hands to yourself?”

“After last night, can you really blame me?” I reminded her, nibbling on her earlobe.

“Fair enough,” she chuckled. “By the way, you are quite a skilled lap dancer,” she said teasingly.

“I’m dying for you to return the favor. When will you be dancing for me, my sexy Luna?” I asked, unable to hide the expectation in my voice.

“Definitely not now,” my mate replied quickly, making me frown. “You know we have to get up now. We have training.”

It took me a moment to understand what she meant. There was no warrior training on weekends. Then, I realized she meant our private training sessions with Cass, which had been happening every day since she started living with us. Once we mastered the ability to see through each other’s eyes just by blinking, the witch insisted we learned other variants of our vision switch. We were currently trying to project images to each other willingly. And, of course, we were still on the never-ending quest to discover Dawn’s elusive superpower.

“Let’s skip it.” There were a thousand other things I’d prefer to do, and 999 of them included my precious mate. I leaned in to kiss her, but she quickly dodged my move.
