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

“And you still have me. Always have, always will.”“No, that’s not what I mean.” I snap in frustration.How can he do this to me? I don’t want to be away from him, and I don’t want to continue staying in this pack where everyone including Richfield now wants me dead now.“Take me with you, Rome.”“N
I’m purring and trying to burrow into Rome’s skin if I can. He holds me against himself, but he seems tense and stiff.“What the hell are you doing here, and what did you do to her?” I hear King snap at Rome.Is he trying to make Rome leave again? I don’t like it.I pull my face away from Rome’s che
“You really do need a bath, Remy.” He pats her fur, “but you can’t walk into the house just like that. You’re gonna track mud all over the place. And the bathrooms aren’t big enough for you either.”“We can wash her out here, I can get the water hose and some shampoo.”Sounds good“She agrees.” I sa
True to his word, Rome stayed the night.After dinner, complete with a strawberry and chocolate cake for dessert, we cleaned up, said our goodnights and goodbyes, and King and Luna Daisy left. I was still in Rome’s shirt, and he was still shirtless. And as distracting and arduous as it was, I had to
