~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?

~Zane~Watching that pretty boy Michael drop Valeria off at home for the third time this week was going to give me a fucking bulge in my blood. I'd been sitting in my car across the street for the past ten minutes, pretending to check emails while actually plotting seventeen different ways to make
~Valeria~The symbol of a crown and thorn carved into my nightstand had been staring at me for three days now, and I was slowly losing what was left of my sanity.I'd tried everything. Googling it led to dead ends about ancient royal wolves. Asking my mom resulted in blank stares and suggestions th
