The Wolf Within Me

In the closet

Kiani: “Fucking Rocco dropping me on my ass! (Kiani laughs)”

Maia: “To think your luna of this pack.”

Kiani: “Excuse me, Maia. (both laugh)”

Maia: “Are we getting drunk or what?”

Kiani: “That’s my plan of action. I texted the girls. Look at you looking all hot and shit.”

Maia: “I haven't been out in ages. I thought I would look the part.”

Kiani: “Has Ghost seen your outfit?”

Maia: “What does Ghost have to do with me looking sexy?!”

Kiani: “EVERYTHING! (Maia laughs”

Maia: “I hardly think about him.”

Kiani: “Oh babe. Don't act like you haven't just been with him.”

Maia: “I was on patrol.”

Kiani: “To think you're my enforcer. One of my best enforcers is making out on the job.”

Maia: “Who said we were just making out?”

Kiani: “You're so fired. (Maia laughs). How do I look?”

Maia: “Well done Kiani, Rocco’s never gonna let you leave. (Kiani laughs)”

Kiani: “So I did well?”

Maia: “Oh yeah!”

Kiani: “Time to get our dance on. (in the backyard)”

Rocco: “I invited a few more wolves to the party.”

Aspen: “Yes man! I've brought a damn load of beer.”

Asher: “Is this all because you need a distraction?”

Rocco: “Why would I need a distraction?”

Tao: “Urgh, because your soulmate is going out tonight.”

Archie: “To a wolf shifter bar at that.”

Aspen: “Without you. I'll pray for you. Tell your wolf to stay strong. (everyone laugh)”

Archie: “I hope you've marked her real good. All the male and female wolves will be prowling. I think you should know that”

Tao: “Damn, did you even think this through?”

Rocco: “I hope you know I could kill you all right now if I want it.”

Rocco’s Wolf: “Why are you letting our mate go without you?!”

Rocco: “Great, now my wolf has started. (Aspen laughs)”

Aspen: “Relax, we're here for you. I have a beer with your name on it.”

Rocco’s Wolf: “KIANI’S MINE.”

In Rocco’s head: Fucking perfect. (Bloodstone pack living room)

Billie Jean: “Ahem. (Kai’s shocked)”

In Kai’s head: Well damn!

Gia: “Yes, you look fucking hot Kai.”

Billie Jean: “Kai, pull yourself together.”

Kai: “Where are you two going?”

Gia: “Oh sorry dad, we forgot to tell you.”

Billie Jean: “Where are you going, huh?!”

Kai: “None of your business where me and Kylo-”

Billie Jean: “You and Kylo huh?”

Gia: “Are you guys sneaking off to a bar again? Does Juno know?”

Billie Jean: “Oh damn.”

Kai: “Listen you two-”

Kylo: “Girls, stop stressing Kai out. You know how he gets. We're going to Rocco’s for beer. (Kylo’s shocked)”

Kai: “EXACTLY KYLO!”

Kylo: “What the hell are you wearing, Billie Jean?!”

Gia: “We're going to a wolf shifter bar. You know that bar on-”

Kylo: “Do you know how many male shifters will be drooling all over you?”

Gia: “I'm drooling all over Billie, no big deal.”

Billie Jean: “Thank you, Gia.”

Kylo: “Gia, where’s your brother?!”

Gia: “Every damn time. Probably getting dirty with Maia.”

Kylo: “Too much information.”

Billie Jean: “Yeah, we're going out with Kiani.”

Kylo: “Rocco’s letting Kiani go alone?!”

Billie Jean: “How old do you think we are?”

Gia: “They think we're fucking pups, Billie. The audacity guys have.”

Kylo: “You both are not-”

Juno: “Then you’re not going to Rocco’s for beer.”

Billie Jean: “Listen to your soul mate, Kylo. Or no loving for you.”

Kylo: “You wouldn't even think I was the alpha of this pack.”

Juno: “The girls kick better ass than you guys. We're not in the dark ages. They can fucking look after themselves and get down in the process.”

Gia: “Preach Luna!”

Juno: “If they wanna go out-”

Gia: “We're going out-out.”

Billie Jean: “Yeah, definitely out-out. (Kai rolls his eyes)”

Juno: “Stop by eye rolling. Get something to ride to Rocco’s to meet Kiani while you boys enjoy your beer night. (in the backyard)”

Kylo: “Was this your idea Rocco?!”

Rocco: “Kiani wants a girl's night. What the hell can I do about it?”

Kylo: “Lock the door and throw away the damn key.”

Billie Jean: “I think you guys need a reality check.”

Gia: “Are you all that insecure?”

Archie: “How did you stop River from going?!”

Tao: “Like hell, I stopped her! She’s helping Nova with the pups.”

Archie: “You lucky man.”

In Aspen’s head: My wolf likes what he sees. Billie Jean is damn fine.

Maia: “As long as Gia is coming…what is it?”

Kiani: “Better not look behind you.”

Gia: “Oh for fucksake. Hey Maia!”

Maia: “I hate you. (Kiani laughs)”

In Rocco’s head: Holy-(Aspen laughs)

Aspen: “You’re so screwed man. (Kylo gasp)”

In Billie Jean’s head: Males.

Billie Jean: “Kiani, you're looking killer in that outfit.”

In Kiani’s head: Rocco’s eyes scan my body from head to toe. My eyes never leave his. As he scans my body his eyes heat up in the process. I feel my temperature rise, feeling the heat from his eyes. Then I hear his sexy voice in my mind.

Rocco’s Mindlink: “You love to drive me wild, little wolf. My wolf is going crazy.”

Kiani’s Mindlink: “I’d say it's all for you but you dropped me on my ass.”

In Rocco’s head: I hear Kiani’s sexy voice in my mind.

Kiani: “Time to go girls.”

Kylo: “I think we should go out tonight g-”

Kiani: “No!”

Rocco: “I agree with Ky-”

Kiani: “I don't think so!”

In Rocco’s head: Kiani isn’t going anywhere until I kiss her senseless. (Rocco’s room)

Kiani: “I left my lipstick.”

Rocco: “Aren't you going to kiss me goodbye?”

In Kiani’s head: Shivers run down my spine. The intense sexy atmosphere that Rocco is creating is making me hot and bothered. I know exactly his motive. Tempting me to stay. My body believes it's working. I feel my knees go weak from the deep consuming kiss. Rocco holds me up against him as he continues to make love to my mouth. His passion for me always overwhelms me. I didn't know how much I was starving until I tasted my highlander.

Kiani: “I-I really have to g-go.”

In Kiani’s head: Rocco bites my lip and then kisses his way down to my neck to rest his forehead on my shoulder.

Rocco: “I'm not stopping you.”

In Kiani’s head: Liar liar I’m fucking on fire. Damn, I want to cancel my plans. Rocco starts to push me onto the bed.

Kiani: “I'll see you later. Enjoy your guy's night.”

In Kiani’s head: My oh my oh my. That took fucking willpower to pull away from him. But I can save him for later.

In Rocco’s head: Little tease. I'll give her an hour. (at the club)

In Kiani’s head: Only Angel by Harry Styles is blasting.

Maia: “Long time no see.”

Bouncer: “Ahh, if it isn’t enforcer Maia.”

Maia: “Please call me Maia. Are you gonna let us in?”

Bouncer: “You know the rules, Maia. Especially with mates in my club. I can do without overprotective wolves tonight.”

Maia: “You've got it, no trouble here. We're just gonna have a good time.”

In Kiani’s head: So we danced the night away. (Hawthrone’s library)

Mrs. Hawthorne: “How's it going?”

Scientist: “I’ve never seen anything quite like it before. I need more time to experiment. But one thing I know for sure, we're gonna need more samples from the source. If this works. It’ll change all of our lives forever.”

In Mrs. Hawthorne’s head: We need more samples. There has to be more healer wolf shifters out there.
