Mag-log inI 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

Acid is crawling up my throat, and tears are running down my face as I heave and cough. I don’t know what’s worse, I don’t know who I pity more, who my heart is bleeding for, I d

My salvation.I jump straight out of Bastian’s arms, and he looks at me, surprised. I guess he should be. For someone who claimed to be unable to get off the ground, I sure was quick to jump out of his arms. I send him a big smile.“Thanks for the ride, Brain Cells, but this is my stop.” I wave at h
“So, you’re telling me that after your smoking hot bathtub session, you kicked him out?” I groan, my cheeks aflame.
