LOGINNatashaI step out of my tent, fully dressed for the day, and nearly run smack into Sebastian. We both pull back at the last second, and I feel highly aware of close we came to touching.“Sorry,” I mutter.“My fault,” he mutters back. “I was just coming to find you.”I raise my eyebrows in surprise.
Owen“What the…” Diego sputters out as I slam the door behind us. I’ve brought us into the music room which is empty save for a smattering of instruments.I stare Diego down more intensely than I mean to. “What of Natasha?”My brother seems immediately on his guard. “What of her?”“Did they believe

NatashaI don’t stay at the campfire for long after Carolina and Missy are dragged off to bed by the man I found out is their uncle.I didn’t have the heart to ask where their parents are.“I think I’ll get some sleep,” I say as I stand. I’m surprised when people I’ve just newly met through Carolina

Sebastian considers my words. “And freeing the humans currently under werewolf rule?”Yeah, I don’t have a way to sell this well.“That was not part of the offer. However, with all those new resources, you’ll be able to avoid any more humans being enslaved because you’ll have no need to interact wit
AmeliaThe first thing I think when I wake up is how Ava described sex: a male’s penis going inside a female’s vagina. I remember when Owen taught me how to frig, instructing me to put my finger inside myself. I remember the way he rubbed his penis while he watched me.It felt like there was barely
“I’m not!” I shrug. “I grew up in an orphanage that taught me,” I motion around the hallway, “apparently, nothing of value.
