April 1st has been such a painful day since your passing all those
years ago. I’ve not let myself find any joy in April Fools’ Day, and I
cry because you should be here.
But, dear cousin, I think you’d like me to change this horrible
tradition of further mourning you. I think you’d like me to smile and
remember your incredible spirit and beautiful soul instead.
So, I dedicate this story to you. It’s a totally inappropriate story, but
I’m at peace because I can see your smiling face in my mind. Your
innocent little cousin wrote a naughty story that would have our
mothers blushing and our fathers furious, ready to lock us away
from sexy bad boys forever.
I think you’d adore Jane’s free spirit and the love around her.
So, I send her to you this April Fools’ Day. Well, technically, it’s the
2nd because I want to respect your family. Still, all will see where
your memory is within these pages.
No jokes. No pranks. Simply my love.
When it’s my turn to join you in the stars—that second one to the
right—you can tell me how hard Jane and her boys made you blush.
Until Eternity,
Janie
WELCOME TO JANE’S TEAM
While this story is an alternate reality with the characters from Janie
Marie’s Gods & Monsters trilogy, you absolutely do not have to read
the trilogy. It’s a complete standalone, merely made more
entertaining if you choose to meet the gang in every universe I have
dreamed up for them.
So, if you want to see their origins and smile at the Easter eggs I’ve
planted, visit my Amazon profile (before or after . . . it really doesn’t
matter).
The last thing Jane expected after her shower, was to open the door
to her bedroom from the attached bath and find David waiting in her
room. She also didn’t expect to ever come face to face with him
wearing only a towel.
Neither of them spoke, and she wondered why he’d come into
her room like this. After all, they had a joined bath, and he would’ve
heard the water running. Granted, he never used it for himself, but
he still would’ve heard. He still would’ve known there was a high
chance she’d come out without clothes.
Maybe he didn’t find it odd. There had been plenty of times he’d
used the other bathroom in the house and then pass her in the
hallway with only a towel around his waist. She supposed it was a
normal sibling thing because he barely acknowledged her when
those moments passed. He didn’t realize he drove her hormones
crazy.
She gripped the towel closer to her chest as he slowly scanned
her from her head to her blue painted toenails. “What are you doing
here?”
His sapphire eyes returned to her face. “Is that the way we greet
each other now?”
She realized he was referring to this morning at the school office.
It was more than that for her, though. He used to hug her, kiss the
top of her head, call her ‘his Jane’. Now she was just Jane—just the
stepsister. There was no way she could blurt out how hurt she was
by all of this. She had to pretend she was only thinking about this
morning like he clearly was. “I didn’t volunteer to help him.”
“You’re not going to help him.” He leaned forward, resting his
forearms on his knees. Why did he have to be so sexy doing
something so simple? “I mean it.”
“You’re not the boss of me.” She walked toward her dresser,
praying he didn’t notice how hot he was making her. God, why did
he have to play big brother?
“But you want him to boss you around?” His reflection in the
mirror was fierce.
Jane swallowed because if she hadn’t been his stepsister, she’d
think he was jealous. “I thought you wanted to win the state
championship.”
“You think I can’t bring that for the team?” His glare was sexy
instead of frightening.
“I didn’t say that.” She shakily opened her panty drawer. “You’re
the one who said it takes the best players, and the guy taking your
old spot isn’t the best.”
“Ryder is the guy who took my spot,” he growled, standing to
approach her.
Her chest heaved, but she could only stare at his reflection,
trembling when his body heat enveloped her.
He stopped just a few inches behind her. It had been a while
since he was this close to her, and she noticed how much bigger
he’d gotten. His hair was also longer, hanging over his eyes until he
did a little jerk with his head to move it. “Just tell me why you’re
helping him. Why are you choosing him over me?”
She frowned, confused. “David, I’ll always choose you. Especially
over Ryder.”
He watched her for a few moments, then turned her around,
grabbing her chin. “Do you mean that? You pick me, even if he’s
better?”
Her heart warred with something . . . but she smiled. “You’re the
bestest. Always will be.”
That smile that stole her heart so many years ago appeared on
his lips. “You haven’t called me that in a long time. I thought I’d lost
that title with you when we became . . .” His words died, but his
gaze didn’t. A fire that she wasn’t sure was anger or desire swirled in
his eyes, either preparing to destroy her or engulf her so no other
could get close.
Kingston’s voice carried through the door. “David? Jane?”
David released her, holding his finger to his lips as he went
through the bathroom, and she heard him open his main door.
“Yeah?”
“Where’s Jane?” his dad asked.
“I think she’s in the shower,” David said in a bored way that made
her question whether something special had been about to happen
between them just moments ago.
“Oh, well, if you see her when she gets done, tell her to come
downstairs. I want to talk to her about this Godson boy.”
David grunted. “Tell her to give him bad advice.”
Her stepdad laughed. “That will reflect poorly on your sister.”
“She’s my stepsister,” David corrected. “And I’m heading out. The
team is having a party with the cheerleaders.”
“Behave. Don’t forget you have double practice tomorrow.”
Jane’s eyes stung, and her heart throbbed. The fucking cheer
squad picked any reason to party, and they were celebrating David
as if he’d not already been on the team. Didn’t he see it as a slap to
both his and Ryder’s faces?
“I’ll behave,” David said, his door shutting hard. “I’m not fucking
this up.”
“Language,” their dad chided. “And I know things with Diane . . .”
“Dad—” The rest of whatever David was saying was mumbled,
and then their footsteps retreated.
Jane didn’t realize tears were falling from her eyes until she
looked in the mirror. Diane was the co-captain of the cheer team,
and she’d been the one girl David had gone out with for more than
just a single date. They’d gone on nine dates—Jane had counted,
and not much time had passed since their last date.
He usually avoided Jane like the plague after a date, especially
dates with Diane. He didn’t have a problem letting her hang all over
him at school, though.
The only relief Jane had at all was David’s football practice took
most of his time, but she knew the cheerleaders were practicing too.
There could’ve been more dates she didn’t know about. There could
be a lot more to David’s relationship with Diane.
A part of her knew there was more, but she held onto hope that
the two worst scenarios hadn’t occurred. She’d die if it turned out
David was having sex with Diane, or worse, if he’d fallen in love with
her.
Laughter coming from outside thankfully captured Jane’s
attention before she spiraled down the David and Diane nightmare.
She knew the view would only annoy her, but she still walked to
her window and gazed down into the Godson’s backyard.
They were having their own party, it seemed. Well, she couldn’t
call it that. Ryder was there with Luc, Tercero, and Gabriel. Gabriel
was the eldest and their guardian. He was hardly home, but he did
seem responsible for a Godson.
Her attention shifted to Tercero. She figured Archer and Savaş
were at the football party, and he was the only brother not on the
team.
She took in his features quickly, her skin prickling because he
looked so much like Ryder. Only, he was a paler, leaner version. He
never talked to her, or anyone, really. She didn’t know why, but the
mystery of him always had her looking his way.
Sometimes she wished she was brave enough to talk to him, but
she didn’t think it would do well to talk to someone who looked so
much like her enemy.
She tore her thoughts from Tercero and took in the few older
guys there. Gross; they were either drinking or smoking weed.
She wrinkled her nose when it looked like Ryder was rolling up a
joint. “I guess failing means he can act like a loser.”
Emerald eyes darted up to her window, and she froze. When
Tercero and Luc also looked up, Ryder barked something at them
and then he flipped her off.
Jane’s sadness turned to rage for only a few seconds before
returning to sadness. “Fuck, I must be getting ready for my period.”
She looked down, gasping because she was still in her towel. She
yanked her curtains into place before grabbing her phone to call
Wendy and then rushed to hide in her closet.
“Hello?” Wendy already sounded like she’d been asleep.
“I hate all men,” Jane wailed.
Wendy sighed. “Until they smile at you. Which one?”
“Which one, what?” Jane sniffled. “I think I’m about to start my
period.”
“Yeah, I just started.” Wendy laughed. “You’ll start soon. Unless
you’ve been fucking your sexy stepbrother without telling me, and
you’re carrying a little blue-eyed scandal in your belly.”
Jane laughed, rubbing away her tears. “You’re so awful.”
“So, it’s a green-eyed scandal, and those two sexy beasts you are
lucky to see every day and night are fighting as we speak, ripping
clothes off and . . . oh, dear, I’m getting hot. Record it for me. I’m
gonna combust if I see it in person.”
“They’re not fighting.” She sniffed, but she was smiling now. “I
hate being me.”
“I know.” Wendy sighed dramatically. “Forbidden love no matter
which door or window you look out of.”
“What?” She had no idea what Wendy was talking about.
“Are you serious?” Wendy deadpanned. “David, the boy you’ve
loved for years is just the door across yours, and Ryder, the other
boy you love but won’t admit to yourself, is out your window.”
“I don’t love Ryder.” She frowned, her tears drying. “He’s the
ultimate jerk.”
“To everyone but you,” Wendy sang. “You’re too crazy about your
step-bro to notice the heart-eyes he makes at you. I have no idea
why.”
“Whatever. He just flipped me off for looking out my window.”
Jane stared at the very window, wondering if he was still looking at
it.
“I’m sure he had a reason.”
Jane rolled her eyes. Wendy always found excuses for Ryder’s
rudeness. “You realize I have to tutor him, right? He could be a bit
nice to me.”

SISÄLLYS:
Korven kulkuri.
Pesän varjelijat.
Meren tiikeri.
Hämäränpeikko.
Kun eversti tuli Gallagherin leiriin.
Korven kulkuri.
Hyvin varovasti kulkuri nyt hiipi pitkin vaapperaa oksaa, joka painui
syvälle lisääntyvän painon alla. Ihmetellen kenties, miksi oli äkkiä
käynyt niin raskaaksi, siili hitaasti kääntyi kiivetäkseen jälleen
vähemmän epävarmalle kannattimelle. Päästyään tuskin enempää
kuin puoleksi ympäri se kohtasi muutaman tuuman päässä matalaksi
kyyristyneen oudon vieraan hiljaiset, kuolemaa ennustavat kasvot.
Isku tietysti osui tyhjään; Ismael oli hävinnyt kuin varjo. Hetkeä
myöhemmin karhu tunsi vihlovaa kipua suurissa lihaksissa juuri
kantapään yläpuolella. Se pyörähti ympäri ja iski taas kuin leimaus.
Mutta vastustaja oli jo mennyt. Se kyyrötti hiljaa muristen
kymmenkunnan jalan päässä houkutellen karhua ajamaan takaa.
Pesän varjelijat.
