idea it was going to
happen.”
I looked at Koda’s tight face. “You don’t
believe them?”
Koda smiled. “I believe Victor, but I’m not
sure about Maurice.”
Matt’s attitude and response still bothered
me, so I decided to tell Koda. After I’d finished Koda sighed.
“I’ve been noticing it too,” he said quietly, “something’s
bothering him, but I’m not sure what it is.”
“Do you think he lied about why he stopped
guarding the back entrance?” That part was bothering me the worst.
I couldn’t explain why, but I knew he was lying about why he
left.
Koda sighed and ran a hand through his
Mohawk which I noticed wasn’t gelled up for once. “I don’t know.
I’ll have to speak to Ares about it.” He looked at my face for a
moment before sighing. “Come on, you should lie down. You’ve had a
lot happen to you."
I laughed and climbed onto the bed. “I never
thought my life would be so crazy.”
Koda laid down beside me and rubbed my back.
“Don’t worry, things will calm down and we’ll be able to show you
the good side of life as a werewolf.”
“I can’t wait for that day,” I mumbled as I
relaxed and took comfort in Koda’s touch. “Thank you,” I whispered
as I started to lose consciousness.
“For what?” he asked.
“For being you.”
“Artemis?”
“Night Koda.”

Chapter Five
The sun rose earlier than I wanted, but
waking up to Ares’ arms wrapped around me definitely made it
better.
“Morning, Sunshine,” Ares whispered against
my neck.
I shivered and asked, “Can’t we sleep
in?”
Ares chuckled and nipped my ear. “We need to
go on a hunt. Come on. Everyone is waiting for you.”
I groaned and rolled over until my face was
pressed against Ares’. “I think we should stay in bed all day.” I
opened my eyes and stared at the handsome man looking at me.
“You’re too handsome for me,” I sighed longingly.
Ares kissed my lips and rolled us over until
he was lying on top of me. “Achilles left a couple minutes ago. He
won’t be able to tell that we’ve mated if we do it before the
hunt.”
He started kissing his way down my neck and
it took all of my willpower to form conscious thoughts. “Ares, I
thought you said Koda and Matt were waiting?”
“They can wait a little longer.” He growled
as he tried to work my shirt up.
“Ares, I know you don’t like Achilles, but
it really isn’t fair. What if the situation was flipped and he’d
claimed me first. What would you want him to do?”
Ares groaned and pressed his forehead
against mine. “Fine, but we need to figure out a solution soon.
It’s torment to be near you and not be able to mate with you.”
I kissed his cheek softly. “I know. It’s
hard for me too, but we’ll figure something out.”
I climbed out from under Ares and hopped
down from the bed. It took my body a moment to change, but it was
painless when I finally took my wolf form.
Matt and Koda yelled through my head. HURRY UP!
I jogged down the stairs and opened my mouth
in a wolf-grin at the two giant wolves sitting on the porch. Morning.
Ares walked out in front of me. Come on,
let’s hunt. I need to kill something.
I giggled, but the strange wheezing sound
that came out of my wolf throat bothered me too much to continue.
Ares glared at me with a tight mouth. That’ll teach you to laugh
at me.
Ares jogged away from the house and the rest
of us followed behind him as he led us into the forest. We jogged
for twenty minutes before smelling another animal. I twitched my
nose in frustration. What is it? I couldn’t figure out what
animal I was smelling.
Deer. Ares said. He tilted his head
to the right then turned to face in that direction. There.
We all turned slowly and stared at the herd
of deer two hundred yards away. A ten point buck stood a little to
the side of the herd. My mouth instantly started watering. Ares
snorted softly and Matt and Koda took off at a run. I started to
follow, but Ares
