Ravishing Elizabeth: White Timber Pack Book 1

by J. J. Marstead

  “I had enough credits to graduated early I worked hard and it paid off. That’s one of the

  reasons why we didn’t move here sooner.” He nods his mouth full, he slowly chews the food in his

  mouth, swallowing it; I’m staring at the man eating his food, what the hell is wrong with me. My

  body feels like it went up a couple of degrees.

  “Well, we better get back over to the airport now, she should be landing in a few minutes,”

  he takes the napkin off the table and wipes his mouth.

  We get up from the booth, Caleb heads to the cash to pay. Once he’s done paying for our

  meal at the cash, he meets me at the front door, and then we exit the restaurant and head to his

  truck.

  She’s almost here, I can’t believe it.

  While I wait patiently with Caleb at the terminal for Tori; he wraps his arms around my

  waist, placing a soft kiss to the side of my head. I close my eyes enjoying the closeness of him till I hear a loud familiar squeal. My eyes snap open; I turn around and see Tori running towards us. Oh

  my God, Caleb lets me go, I take off running to her, meeting her half way, she jumps in my arms and

  we embrace, her arms squeezing me tight.

  R a v i s h i n g E l i z a b e t h ‘ W h i t e T i m b e r P a c k ’

  “I can’t believe your actually here,” I say, my face full of her hair.

  “I know it’s crazy! My parents were more than happy to let me go. I’ve been moping around

  the house pretty much ever since you left.” She chuckles, and we break our hug and look at each

  other. I can feel Caleb come up behind me, and Tori’s eyes widen just a little, then she looks at me with an amused smirk. Caleb clears his throat, putting his hand out from around me, holding it in

  front of me.

  “Hi, I’m Caleb.”

  Tori places her hand in his, shaking it slightly smiling.

  “I’m Tori.”

  “You ready to get out of here?” I grab one of her bags, Caleb taking the other two.

  “Where’s Samuel?” Tori ask, looking around, Caleb looks at me giving me a grin and

  continues walking out of the airport. Great, he’s going to leave me here to explain why Samuel can’t be here, traitor.

  “Well, I’ll explain once we get in the car, okay?” she nods her head, her brows pulled in

  confused, we make out way outside to Caleb’s truck, I put her bags inside, then we all hop in. Caleb starts his truck and then pulls out of the airport parking, heading to the main road back home.

  “So, why couldn’t Samuel make it?” God, she won’t let it go.

  “The reason why he couldn’t make it is because he’s a vampire,” and on cue, Tori screams

  grabbing her chest, Caleb and I wince at the sharpness of her tone.

  “What do you mean he’s a vampire? Like a blood drinking, blood sucking vampire? Oh my

  God, did he bite you? Are you going to be a vampire now?” Jesus all the questions she’s shooting

  out, are giving me a headache… Shaking my head, I can’t help but laugh my ass off at her.

  “Yes, he’s a vampire and he does drink blood, but he doesn’t go around draining and killing

  people. No, I’m not going to be a vampire, jeez calm down, Tori.” I turn in my seat to look at Tori, and she’s staring at me, her mouth agape, her face pale and her eyes wide.

  “Okay…you’re sure you won’t become a vampire?”

  “No, I won’t become a vampire.”

  “Don’t worry; he won’t hurt me or anyone else, Tori. He gets blood from a blood donor

  clinic,” I add to reassure her, she nods her head quick. I hope that eases her worry a little.

  Oh, this is should be funny, when they meet tonight.

  Chapter 9

  I don’t know what it is about today but my wolf’s pretty antsy. It’s like I’m ready to vibrate

  right out of my skin. Elizabeth and Caleb left a little while ago to get her friend Tori from the airport.

  They should be back soon; I can’t be around everyone right now with the way I’m feeling. My skin

  feels hot and I’m itching to shift and run, I’m way too wound up. My wolf is nipping at me to stretch my legs. I slowly make my way to the kitchen and out the back door; my father sees me and nods

  frowning.

  “Everything okay, Ryan?” he asks, getting up off the ground. My mother has him working full

  force before Tori arrives. The house is spotless like always, but she wanted the garden to be finished before they got here, so that’s why my father is slaving away getting this done before they show up.

  “Yeah, I just need to go for a run.” He nods his head and heads to the hose to wash the dirt

  off his hands; mom would flip if he went inside like that. I start walking towards the shed at the back of the house, slowly start stripping out of my clothes and placing them in a pile, stretching my back before I feel the tingle in my bones as the shift starts. Within seconds my four paws hit the ground, and I’m off, running to the river, I lean my head down and take a drink of fresh water, once my

  thirst is satisfied , I take off again. It seems like I’ve been running for hours, everyone’s probably wondering where I am.

  I head back in the direction of the house, once I’m behind the shed, I shift and reach for my

  clothes, getting dressed quickly I make my way towards the house. I walk through the back door

  into the kitchen, I stop when I hear talking; well Caleb and Elizabeth must be back with her friend, walking to the living room where everyone’s at.

  I’m stopped dead in my tracks when I hear the sweet laughter of a stranger who I’m

  guessing is Tori Elizabeth’s friend. The sound of her voice giving me shivers all the way down to my dick and my balls tighten. Shit, I’m going to embarrass myself. My scents seem to be on alert more

  today than ever. I sniff at the air lightly, and a sweet aroma of blueberries and pine wafts around me causing my wolf to yip out in joy. The smell is intoxicating.

  “What the…” my voice barely a whisper, shaking my head, I make my way towards the living

  room entrance; I’ve never smelled something so amazing before.

  I enter the living room, my brother looks over at me and grins heading my way.

  R a v i s h i n g E l i z a b e t h ‘ W h i t e T i m b e r P a c k ’

  “Hey, where in the hell have you been? I was hoping you would be here when we arrived so

  you could meet Tori,”

  “I had to get out of the house and run. Malakai’s been antsy all morning for some weird

  reason,” my brother quirks his eyebrow then nods his head, he understands the feeling I’m sure.

  “Well come and meet Tori,” he says walking back over to Elizabeth who’s talking to who I’m

  guessing is Tori, I can’t really see her, Elizabeth’s blocking my view. I walk closer to them and the sweet smell hits me in full force.

  Elizabeth turns giving me a smile then moves out of the way and it feels like all the air has

  been knocked out of me, as I stare at the most amazing, beautiful girl I’ve ever seen. My wolf’s going nuts, she gives me a shy smile and I can’t help myself but release a little growl, her eyes widen.

  “Ryan, this is my best friend Tori. Tori this is Caleb’s Brother, Ryan,”

  “Hi Ryan,” God her voice is like silk.

  My hand shoots out in her direction, she smiles softly at me and she places her hand in mine

  and shakes it, and she gasps, releasing my hand quickly like she was just zapped. I don’t get a chance to say anything to her, my wolf takes over.

  “Mate,” my voice low and husky as I stare at
her with a dreamy look on my face, she gasps,

  her hand flying to her mouth. She looks at Elizabeth, who happens to have a huge smile on her face.

  “What? Mate?” she utters out in shock, she looks around the room, trying to see if this is

  some kind of joke. Elizabeth whispers into her ear, and she looks up at me biting her lip. God, what I would give to bite that lip right now. My pants seem to be getting extremely tight while I stare at my mate’s body. Shit!

  Elizabeth grabs my arm ushering for me to move away from Tori. She tells me that Tori’s

  human so I’ll have to go slow with the whole mate thing.

  I pray to God that I don’t fuck this up.

  R a v i s h i n g E l i z a b e t h ‘ W h i t e T i m b e r P a c k ’

  When we arrived at Caleb’s parent’s place, I was totally blown away, the place is huge. It

  looks like there’re a few people here already. Oh, crap. I need to socialize with other shifters. Shit, I hope I don’t do anything that’ll make them want to rip my head off.

  “Don’t worry, nothing’s going to happen. It’s just my parents and his parents here. Some

  others might show up later. Oh and his brother should be here too. Samuel will only be stopping in

  later.” Elizabeth mumbles out as she gets out of the truck.

  “So are you ready? I know my mom has been just as excited as I’ve been, knowing you were

  coming,” she mentions.

  I love her mom, she’s awesome. Sarah’s always been like a second mother to me, well,

  seeing as I was always at their place.

  We head inside and as soon as I get through the door I’m attacked with hugs.

  “Oh baby girl, I’ve missed you,” Sarah says she holds onto me tight, like if she lets me go I’ll

  disappear.

  “I’ve missed you guys, too.”

  “Well, come in and meet everyone in the living room,” we make our way to the living room

  and everyone was very welcoming and nice. I was so relieved. Elizabeth talked about Samuel a bit,

  just hearing the way she talks about him is calming, knowing that it must be mutual. I know they

  both love her, even if it’s only been a few days, I know it’s different for shifters, they fall faster than humans, especially when they meet their mate. So, I have nothing to worry about, I know she’s in

  good hands.

  Her mate Caleb leaves our little group and he walks over to a guy that looks around our age

  that must be his brother. God, he’s sexy as hell, but there’s no way I’ll go there nope. Not after what happened to me the last time. I can’t go through that again. My heart still hasn’t fully recovered

  from the heartbreak.

  He makes his way over to us, and he just stares at me. Well, that’s kind of weird, I’ve never

  been stared at before; it’s like his ready to eat me up. Elizabeth steps beside me.

  “Ryan, this is my best friend Tori. Tori this is Caleb’s Brother, Ryan,” I feel my cheeks start to

  heat up. What the hell is wrong with me?

  “Hi Ryan,”

  He puts his hand out for me to shake, I’m not sure, should I shake his hand or should I leave

  him hanging? I might as well be polite and shake the guy’s hand, my hand touches his, it’s like an

  electric shock runs through my hand, up my arm and straight down to my lady parts, which causes

  me to pull my hand back and gasp.

  R a v i s h i n g E l i z a b e t h ‘ W h i t e T i m b e r P a c k ’

  “Mate…” he whispers softly, his voice sending my lady parts tingling.

  “What? Mate?”

  I’m in utter shock, I stare at Elizabeth and she has a huge smile on her damn face. What the

  hell is going on? Biting my lip I stare up at him, I’m not sure what to do or say. Elizabeth seems to snap me out of my thoughts when she takes Ryan aside and talks to him. I feel disappointed that’s

  he’s farther away from me. What the hell? How can I feel like this? I don’t even know the guy.

  Ryan comes walking up to me and whispers softly into my ear.

  “I would like to talk to you alone, mate,” oh my… the tingling feeling getting stronger as he

  stands beside me, close enough our bodies lightly touching. I do the only thing I can do at this very moment without making me look stupid, I nod my head.

  Ryan puts his arm around me and ushers us out of the living and towards what I’m guessing

  is his room.

  R a v i s h i n g E l i z a b e t h ‘ W h i t e T i m b e r P a c k ’

  Chapter 10

  Holy shit Tori’s Ryan’s mate. Oh my God! I did not see that coming. I’m so happy for her,

  she’ll be even more connected to me now, she’ll be my pack sister even if she’s not a shifter, she’s Ryan’s mate. I can’t believe it. Ryan walks over to Tori and whispers something in her ear, I didn’t catch what he said, but Tori turns towards me and gives a smile and leaves the room with Ryan.

  Caleb comes up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist.

  “It’s pretty cool, that Tori’s my little brother’s mate,” he says placing a kiss at the base of my

  neck.

  “It’s crazy how fate works out. I’m happy that she’ll always be around now.”

  I’m seriously happy for Ryan; after everything that happened between us, and then me

  finding my mates, I just want him to be happy and it seems like he will be with Tori. I just hope he goes slow and explains things to her about mating and stuff. Tori turned eighteen last month, so

  they could mate if she wanted to, but I don’t know if she’s ready for that after that happened in the past. I just hope she opens up to him, I know for a fact it will eat him alive if she doesn’t. A wolf needs their mate to be open with them.

  Caleb and I head over to my parents and his, we end up talking for a bit, my mother asks

  what’s wrong with Tori and Ryan, and I tell her and she squeals like a little kid in a candy shop. I look up at the clock above the fireplace to see what time it is. Samuel should be here soon, I can’t wait to tell him about Tori and Ryan.

  Hopefully, Tori and Ryan come back out from his room later so she can meet Samuel. Kelly’s

  supposed to show up after her shift at ‘Marge’s diner’. Kelly’s actually a really sweet girl, I hope she’ll find her happiness, she deserves it. We’ve become pretty close considering she’s my mate’s ex.

  I’m surprised with my wolf, she feels fine with it all.

  R a v i s h i n g E l i z a b e t h ‘ W h i t e T i m b e r P a c k ’

  Kelly just showed up a few moments ago. She looks around and gives me a confused look.

  “Where’s Tori? I got off work early to meet her,” I smirk, chuckling.

  “Well, it turns out that my best friend Tori is Ryan’s mate. So he took her to his room to

  talk,” Kelly’s eyes widen in surprise and her mouth drops open.

  “Wow, really? Wow that’s so awesome for Ryan and Tori,” she utters out, but I can tell by

  the way her voice sounds, she’s happy for them but at the same time she’s sad at the fact that she’s alone. I feel for her, I really do.

  “Yeah, he knew as soon as he saw her. Hopefully, they come back downstairs after so you

  can meet her.”

  “I’m going to go say hi to your parents and Caleb’s,” she says with a small smile, she turns

  around and heads over to them, they start chatting and laughing about something Darren said. My

  hearing is off tonight, I’m not sure if it’s because I’m tired or what.

  I sense Samuel before I see him; he wraps his arms around me pulling me close to him. I

  sigh, feeling his cool lips touching my sensitive skin on the base of my neck, my body shudders from his touch.

  “I’ve missed you today, my little gem,�
� he whispers softly, his breath rolling over my neck

  and up to my ear, causing goose bumps to appear on my skin.

  “I’ve missed you too,” I lean more into him, I look up and I see Caleb smiling at us. My

  cheeks flame as I take in the intensity of his stare. God, do I want nothing more than to throw myself at them both and tell them to take me. My hormones are off the charts.

  Caleb has been doing much better when Samuel’s around, he’s come to terms with all of us

  being mates, when Samuel touched me or kissed me, Caleb would growl, but he’s stopped that, he

  mentioned that his wolf wants me badly, he’s having a hard time reigning in his wolf from marking

  me. He seems to be coming to terms that, Samuel’s my mate too, and if he hurts Samuel, it’ll hurt

  me too. His wolf will be like this till were mated, he needs to have that confirmation of our union.

  “I have something to tell you,” I squeal happily, and he chuckles.

  “Okay, what’s got you so happy?” he asks still chuckling at me, while I hum with excitement.

  “Tori and Ryan are mates,” my voice raises with each word.

  “That’s amazing. It’s crazy how things work out,” Samuel smiles down at me, giving him a

  smile of my own.

  It’s crazy to think that in a week and four days, I’ll be mated to these two amazing men. I’m a

  little nervous about the mating itself, not the ceremony but when were alone just the three of us.

  R a v i s h i n g E l i z a b e t h ‘ W h i t e T i m b e r P a c k ’

  My mother explained to me a little about how it’ll go mating with Caleb, but I’m clueless to how it’ll be with Samuel. I know there will be biting involved but everything else is a blank.

  It’s like he knows what I’m thinking because he gives me a little squeeze.

  “You don’t have to worry about the mating; I’ll explain what will happen when we head up

  to Caleb’s room. Let’s say good night to everyone.”

  “Okay, I’ll let my parents know that I’ll be home later,” Caleb and Samuel both nod. I make

  my way over to my parents, who are talking with Alpha Darren, Mary, and Kelly.
