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

The first thing I notice when I wake up, the sun’s up and bright. I haven’t even opened my eyes yet, but I can feel it blazing against my skin. The second, I feel fine, perfectly fine, like I would on a normal morning, and not how I’m supposed to feel after the events of last night. The third, the h
“Your informant didn’t tell you what I’m capable of, did he?” That shuts them up, and while a little bit of hesitancy blankets them, it’s not enough to stop them. “Well, he should have.” “Get her, Alswell, Carson, get here.” Beaupre commands.Not a chance.Remy!She rises out of my shadow like a go
ROMULUSPeople tell their kids ghost stories, to scare them into doing stuff and keep them away from dangerous situations and all. It usually works too. Whoever invented that did pretty good. But that’s for humans. Gods don’t have ghost stories, we have true stories. Tried and tested, scientifically
“Don’t worry, we’ll take care of me after.” I think of a way to get the heads and body to the mourning grounds. I know I shouldn’t care about that after everything, but it’s still really disgusting and bloody. I look around and find a backpack, there isn’t much in it, just the bottle of chloroform
