Avery and Heartless Gideon: A Werewolf Romance

Avery’s POV I had agreed to sleep with my boyfriend Ryan for the first time tonight, on our first Mating Day. When I flung the door to his room open, I saw him looking all sexy and naked like I imagined. But with another woman on top of him. My younger half sister, Zara. “What…

What was this? I breathed deeply again. I needed more of whatever that was. My body craved it with every nerve and fiber. While I was lost in the hazy, distracting sensation, I suddenly realized that this might be…the mating heat? How is that possible? I thought my wolf was dormant. No matter what it…

The moon above danced in my vision as I lost myself in the haze of pleasure and sensation. I couldn’t get enough of him. Nothing had ever felt better. No one had ever touched me like this… I was liquid moonlight in his arms as he undressed me in the darkness. I unbuttoned his clothing,…

“Dad! Mom!” Zara shouted to the living room downstairs. “Please Zara, no!” I pleaded. “The pathetic human got marked by someone, and she dared to hide it from us!” Avery’s POV “What the hell-” my father cursed as he stomped up the stairs.

For a long moment, we stood there. His eyes were storm-cloud dark as he stared at my skin. My pulse was beating so hard I was sure he could see it jumping in my neck. Gideon leaned closer. He inhaled deeply, as though he was trying to breathe in my scent. “Her skin is clear,…

Since when did he care what happened to me? I couldn’t remember the last time the old Alpha had even bothered to look in my direction. Other than commanding my father take me in when I was a baby, he’d never been involved in my life. Leon had been slightly more courteous when Ryan and…

Off to the side, Gideon scowled. She was very kind to give me such a compliment, despite my disheveled appearance. But then, she had to. Given the terms of the ancient agreement I would eventually become her pack’s Luna. “I am Camila, Gideon’s sister. These are our parents, Gianna and Bennet, and my brother Hudson,…
