MACCON

I stand hunched over in the middle of my tent, wondering how my life got even more fucked up than it was a week ago.

Hey Mac. You ever notice this gnome tunnel smells like bruin? Really nasty bruin junk. Bart’s voice in my head sounds both disgusted and amused, as only a teenage male can. It’s weird, huh?

Yeah, kid. Real weird. I’m going to bed. Holler if you smell anything that’s not sweaty bear balls, okay?

I know Ari’s outside, but I’m so damn tired I let it go. At least that’s what I tell myself as I strip to the skin and crawl into my sleeping bag. I expect to toss and turn, but I’m asleep in seconds. Between the hunt this morning, sparring with Sy and dealing with Ari, my body is desperate to shut down.

My dreams aren’t quite as accommodating.

I’m chasing something through the pre-dawn woods. I can’t see my prey, but I know it’s another wolf. The fog is thick and smells like pine. We run through it, bounding between the trees, our paws silent on the forest floor. I breathe deep and it takes a minute to recognize this feeling. I’m happy.

Relaxed and happy. I let out a howl and the silver wolf ahead of me leaps again, flashing me a wide-toothed grin.

Ari, wait!

My alpha call doesn’t faze her. She’s fast, but I’m faster. I finally catch her on a ridge overlooking the lake.

We roll down the hill, wolves no longer. She’s laughing when we come to a stop yards before a sheer drop-off, her silvery hair sprinkled with pine needles.

Ari. My mate.

In the dream, I howl the truth up to the heavens. I can let the weight of being the alpha go and just fucking be.

Her eyes pull me in, like they did from the first moment I saw her, dark and soft as the mist around us that is slowly vanishing into the sunlight of the rising sun. I push her down into the leaves and moss and take her soft, laughing mouth. She tastes sweet, like ice-cold water straight from a spring and I’ve never been so thirsty.

I kiss her harder. The little noises she makes in the back of her throat have my breath coming short and fast, my dick hard as the granite cliffs above and below us. She snarls and rolls me onto my back, her thighs squeezing my hips.

Mac.

I can hear her in my head, see her thoughts as clearly as I see my own, but they’re jumbled by desire and need and something deeper. Something that stops my heart even as my hands pull her closer. My cock notches into the soft warm V between her legs and I can’t stop.

I need this. I need her.

What can it hurt, it’s only a dream, only a—

Small hands slide over my chest, the flick of a warm tongue on my nipple making my balls tighten.

This is not a dream.

Fuck.

I flip Ari back over, coming fully awake with a growl. She’s naked beneath me, silken curves filling my hands, her scent filling my nose.
