Pack Community (Were Chronicles) by Crissy Smith Page A

had seemed like forever, he’d finally found his mate and a new home. Jim had offered him a job with the sheriff’s office, which Gray had gladly accepted but only after he took Beth on their honeymoon trip. They were going to spend some time visiting different attractions in the country. First stop would be the Grand Canyon in Arizona. He thought Beth, who had never left her community, would get a big kick out of the canyon. He couldn’t wait to shift with her there while they explored.
    “You have a sappy smile on your face,” Beth teased, coming up behind him and wrapping her arms around his waist.
    “I can’t help it. You turned me into a sappy, smiling man,” he joked back.
    “I thought I just turned you on,” she taunted, slipping her hand lower.
    “Why, Beth!” he exclaimed with a smile, turning in her arms. “I’m shocked you would try to seduce me at our mating party.”
    She threw her head back and laughed. “Oh, I’m not trying.”
    She tugged forward towards the kitchen.
    “Where are we…?”
    She opened the tall, walk-in closet door and shoved him inside.
    “The closet, babe?” he chuckled.
    “Oh shut up!” she ordered with a smirk, opening his jeans and finding him already hard. “Or I’ll have to shut you up.”
    She didn’t manage to shut him up completely, though. As her hot mouth wrapped around his cock, he cursed, pleaded and begged.
    “Please, baby… Please,” he chanted, needing so bad.
    “Mmm…” She used her beautiful mouth to push him over the edge.
    “Love you,” he told her over and over. “Love you so much.”
    And he did.

    Excerpt

    Chapter One

    Marissa took a drink of the coffee she’d picked up at the last gas station. The hot liquid burned her tongue and tasted like slug. It wasn’t Starbucks that was for sure. She had flown into the Texas International Airport and rented a car to drive the rest of the way to the small town her sister called home. Her mind was busy thinking about how her sister Elizabeth had been so excited about moving here, but looking at the passing scenery of trees, trees, and more trees, Marissa didn’t get it. It was so big and wide. No buildings, other cars, or people around.
    Rolling her window down and turning Bon Jovi even louder on the stereo, she concentrated on the drive—not the reason for coming. She dreaded going into Pack territory, but Elizabeth was the only family she had left, and after finding her mate, Elizabeth wanted Marissa there for the mating ceremony.
    That thought brought a smile to Marissa’s face as she glanced at the invitation on the seat next to her. She wanted Elizabeth to be happy, and Greg sounded like a nice guy. She’d spoken to him numerous times on the phone, and he’d always been respectful towards her. And that wasn’t common. A were who couldn’t shift was an outsider. And everyone except Elizabeth had treated her that way her entire life.
    Marissa had left the Pack she’d been raised in as soon as she could. Never to step foot on any Pack territory again. That was until later today. Elizabeth , on the other hand, had stayed until she met Greg, a member of a different Pack. After the initial meeting, he had offered her a teaching position at the elementary school and she had taken it. He had been courting her ever since with the blessing of her new Pack Alpha, Gage Wolf.
    Marissa chuckled, thinking of everything Greg had done to win her sister’s heart. He’d known he wanted Elizabeth and had patiently waited. It had taken Elizabeth a year to agree to the mating ceremony, but she finally did. Marissa knew one of the reasons Elizabeth had been holding off was because of her.
    Marissa had the same instincts as any other were and with that came the need of a Pack, but she had given up on that a long time ago. She’d grown up alone and would always remain that way. In the middle between a shifter and a
