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

I couldn’t help you before, and I hated every second of it. Knowing you were in pain but being powerless to help you. I get what you want, River. I understand it, and I wouldn’t stand in your way unless I need to, but this morning, I just…I felt powerless to help you again. Like I’m here now, and yo

I look to Rome for help, and he just smirks at me. Translation: Get yourself out of this one.“How about I draw you while you’re away. I’ll show you when you get back.”Me too, I want a drawing. I hear both Rome and Remy say in unisonRemy, you’re not going anywhere, but sure, I’ll draw you too.Rom
“You got a problem with it?” He cocks a brow at me.“Of course I do. If I’m gonna be hiding out here, shouldn’t it come with a bed and TV, and stuff to make my life more comfortable?
