The words "we're going to the mountains for three days" should not fill me with the same dread as "we're going to war," but when you're talking about camping with four stepb
~Valeria~ Alerion looked ready to kill him. “You are doing no such thing.”“The hell I’m not. I swore to protect her, remember? Or does that oath only matter when you’re the one talking?”Lysander snorted. “Honestly, I’d pay to watch the two of you get locked in separate rooms before this turns into a full mating season disaster.&rd
~Valeria~ “The man spent years making himself everybody’s problem. I’m not exactly crying over his turn.”I stared at all three of them in disgust. “So this is it? You hear your father is being tortured and all you have are smug little comments?”Alerion’s eyes met mine at last. “Do not make the mistake of calling him that like the
~Valeria~ Moments after the meeting ended, we were outside ready to head home when a figure suddenly flew over the outer wall and hit the ground hard.My heart dropped so fast it scared me.Who the hell was that? Was he dead? &ldqu
~Valeria~Connor folded his arms and glanced between me and Dad with open disappointment. “First, you defend them. Then you let them turn a preparation meeting into a public circus.

~Valeria~ You’d think after winning a huge competition and being publicly praised alongside the most sought-after guys in school and the werewolf kingdom, life would cut me some slack. Yeah, no. Turns out, life didn’t care if I stood on a podium or got cheered on by half the kingdom. Because the
~Caius~ In a way that felt… loaded like I was ruining the fun.She nodded, slower this time. “I do. I just didn’t expect you to get all serious like my maths teacher.” I opened my mouth. Then I closed it.She was close for my sanity. And then, she leaned in a little more, pretending to read the
~Valeria~“I don’t want to be compelled into saying yes so please, give me time at least.” I told him. He held my hand up and kissed it softly. “You know I have a lot of patience to wait. Don’t just date any other guy while keeping me at the crossroads of your heart.”“I have no interest in dating
~Zane~Winning had never been just about proving myself to just anybody. I was born a Cassian, raised in a house where strength, dominance, and victory were the only things that mattered. Losing wasn’t an option, not to Alerion, not to Caius, not to Lysander. But tonight, none of that compared to t
