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

“You’re drooling, Little River.” He teases lightly, and I flush.“Sorry” I murmur, but before he can say anything, something moves beside him and moves towards me as if coming in for a hug. I scream and jump back, only to take a close look…What in the Dr. Facilier shit, is this? Is that his shadow
All of us except my dad.This man is impossibly strong if he can do this. He is blocking the whole pack from feeling the pull of his power and reserving it for my dad only. It’s something even my dad can’t do. It requires a lot of control, concentration, and expertise, and this man does it so effort
“Daddy, can I eat now?” I ask, but he doesn’t look at me or talk to me, he just passes by me and goes to the kitchen. 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’
Mars’ screams and it cuts through, something moves behind her, her shadow ripples.Oh, damn it, what the hell is it now?Everyone around me tenses, and I feel my mom holding on to my shirt from behind.
