LOGINThat night, long after the last of the guests had left for their rooms, Andrew and I returned to the presidential suite to find that the staff had decorated it in preparation for our stay. All the décor, right down to the bed sheets, had been switched out for matching red and gold pieces. The light
Andrew’s eyes met mine as I approached the altar. He smiled at me, and I smiled back. He looked so handsome in his classic black tuxedo that I could hardly wait for after the reception to be with him. As I took my place across from Andrew, I handed my bouquet to Lily. The priestess bega
One month later, I stood in a suite at a private beachside resort, admiring my wedding dress. It hugged my curves in all the right places while still gently brushing against the ground like a low-hanging cloud. Crystals glistened in the room’s fluorescent lights, and the train flowed behind me effor

Jeffrey told me that I should watch Andrew’s interview on Good Morning, Day-Walkers! He assured me that it would prove Andrew’s love for me. I was skeptical. I put off watching it most of the day and did not get around to streaming it until after 5 p.m. When I did, what I saw did not exactly reass
Another rumbling roar shook the ground. Suddenly, Andrew’s enormous black wolf form smashed Noah through the house, narrowly missing me as they skidded back into the dining room. The black wolf tore into the smaller brown wolf before either could regain their footing. Blood splattered everywhere.
Less than a week after Andrew’s press conference, Noah’s injuries—both external and internal—were fully healed. He seemed to be in high spirits.
