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

“That’s messed up,” Austin says and takes a sip of his beer. We’re all quiet for a moment, taking it all in, because I don’t think any of us can imagine what that must have felt like for Mars. Now, I feel bad for getting angry and scolding her for getting drunk.“So, after that event, she suddenly s
RICHFIELD“So yeah, it seems she fell out with Aria right around the time Rome left. And it was hitting her pretty hard.”“But what made them fall out. I mean, they were best friends for a long time, right?” Daisy asks.“She didn’t give me any details, but it had something to do with a ritual of sor
RICHFIELDWe eat, drink, and make small talk until there’s no food to keep our mouths busy, and nothing to talk about to keep me stalling.It’s not that I don’t want to tell them what’s going on, because after the shitshow the beginning of the night was, I owe them that much. It’s just that it feels
“Everything alright?” Daisy asks as soon as she spots me. I reassure her with a smile, a tired smile, but a smile nonetheless.
