Calliope POV

I see fear flash on his face. “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to scare you.” “You didn’t scare me. Explain what you’re doing sneaking around our cottage before I scare you.” “I was just curious about you. I have never seen a she-wolf like you.” “You were spying the other day when I shifted weren’t you?” He nods and I cross my arms over my chest. “Why are you here?” He smiles at me and for the first time I notice how handsome he is. He has shoulder-length blonde hair and I can tell that he is muscular. I focus on his answer. If he poses a threat, it won’t matter how handsome he is. “My name is Oliver. Abigale is my sister. When she and Carter found each other, I was only sixteen. She asked me to come with her. She is the only family I have left.” “That doesn’t explain why you are sneaking around Oliver.” I hate being so cold knowing who he is to Abigale, but I have to protect my mother. No one will ever hurt her again. “He is no threat in that way”, Aurora says. Before I can ask what the hell she means he starts to talk again. “Abigale told me she was bringing you and your mother to the collective. I saw you when you first arrived and you were so beautiful. I just wanted to see you again. “You know that this seems creepy?” He chuckles “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to act creepy.”

“It’s nice to meet you. My name is Calliope and my mother is Jasmine.” “No last name” he asks but I don’t answer him. I don’t know if any of the collective members know my father’s surname. I don’t want anyone to know who my father is. “It is nice to meet you. I hope now that we know each other I won’t see you sneaking around our cottage.” “No, you won’t, but I do hope that you will allow me to get to know you better.” “He is not our mate”, Aurora says, and I laugh. Now I know exactly what she meant. He looks at me confused. “It’s nothing,

want to talk to them first. As soon as Sarah sees me, she rushes over, wrapping me in a hug. The woman that helps my mother with the pups leaves when she sees me. “Have fun with Calliope” she says to Sarah as she heads out of the cottage. “Good afternoon little one.” “Calliope, I was waiting for you.” “I wouldn’t forget about you but I do need to talk to your mom and dad before we go back to the cottage.” She smiles and leads me to the office. She doesn’t knock and when the door swings open, I cover her eyes and pull the door closed. “Why did you do that, Calliope?” Thank goddess she doesn’t know what she saw. “Your mom and dad are busy. I can talk to them later. Let’s go to my cottage.” I usher her back down the hall and toward the front

I’m concerned about.” “Wolf talking to you again.” I look back at Oliver. “Yes, she is. Are you ready Sarah?” “Yes I am” she says and takes Oliver’s hand. “Bug, I think Calliope wants to hang out with you for girl time.” She looks up at me with pleading eyes. I look back at him and he is smiling. “She’s hard to say no to, isn’t she?” I can’t help the smile. “Yes she is.” “Please, Calliope, he is really fun.” “Yes, your uncle can hang out with us. I will make some lunch and we can watch a movie.” She

confused, but then Cora comes over rubbing her side against him. Silas gives a low growl of approval. I know what Clara said but I’m still nervous about this. Before I can over think it, Cora shifts and my beautiful mate stands bare before me. She heads for the trees and I shift. When she comes back, she has a t-shirt and basketball shorts that are huge on her. She hands me a pair of shorts and I notice her eyes check me out before she turns

over, but that doesn’t mean I want others making assumptions about who I am.” I nod because I want her to be comfortable. I stand with her in my arms and set her on her feet. I lean down and press my lips to hers. I pull back and take her hand without a word. When we reach the pack house, I lead her right to my father’s office. I knock “come in Eli”, my father says. I open the door and both of my parents are having lunch. I love that they do this when my father has a busy day. I have always promised myself that I would do the same to spend
