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

“No, I don’t have a problem with you being a god. What I do have a problem with, is you expecting us to just roll with it right after you killed our alpha in front of us…”“Did I kill him? I don’t remember that.”“You set it in motion, and we don’t know if you’re controlling Mars or something. We do
