LOGINI grew up in the pack, and I’ve never stepped out of our town, so seeing the city for the first time feels refreshing and intimidating in equal measure. The city is not a far cry from the town. They’re actually pretty similar, like the pack is a mini version of the city, only louder, busier, and mor
PART FOUR“Why do you always wear black?”“Isn’t black too much of a stretch?” Rome smirks as he answers my question with one of his. We’re lying down on my bed, facing each other. He’s in a casual crewneck long-sleeve black t-shirt, and my fingers trace his pecs through the shirt as we talk about n
Wouldn’t it have been better if I had told her that he spoke to me and said he would come back in two years?Wouldn’t it have been better if I had told her that the guys found out about her sleepwalking? That I had no way to control it, but it happened?Wouldn’t it have spared her the heartbreak, th
Remy and I reappear out of the shadows in the foyer of a large house, not a second after we left King’s place.I know I should be thinking about the fact that I just umbraported, something I shouldn’t be able to do, something I don’t think even Remy can do, or maybe she can.I know I should go looki
What if I did sneak out?“This is so messed up, you know?” My dad sighs, and for a moment, I feel bad. What right do I have to be mad at him for telling them? It’s not like I outright came out and told him not to tell anyone. I just thought we had an unspoken agreement not to, and he knew I wasn’t c

“Why are you still standing there? Get in bed.” Rome says as he gets comfortable on the bed. Honestly, I’m mentally listing all the things that could go wrong.“River?”“Hm?”“I’ve had a long day, please get in bed, don’t make me beg.” I regard him, he looks like he’s gonna fall asleep at any second

When he comes back, he’s holding a napkin and I think he’s going to ask what I want to eat, so I turn to him happily, but he wraps the napkin around my face and holds it down. I can’
“That is so cool!” I gush, and she grins and walks over to check the cupcakes with a toothpick.“We did what we had to do to put her in her place,” she shrugs, shutting the oven and getting back up, but it seems she just doesn’t want to change. It’s sad, living your life like that.”I agree, it must
“Are you done now?” She looked dumbfounded as she stared at him, and when she didn’t answer, he continued. “Good, bring us the bill.” Then we picked up our conversation where we left off, like she wasn’t still standing there and staring at us.That was surely one of the most embarrassing moments in
