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

I stretch and yawn and look around to find myself in front of the TV in the living room, where I must have fallen asleep. My dad is nowhere to be seen, but the blanket I placed on him when he fell a

“Why don’t you come help me down in the kitchen? I wanna make cupcakes, and I could use some help.”No, she can’t. she can do it just fine, and do more, but she doesn’t want me to choose to go home and be alone, so she’ll make me help, and I don’t mind, so I agree with a smile and follow her down to
“Did anyone see what happened?” Madilyn asks, and I don’t even give Maggie time to talk.“What even happened? Because as far as I’m concerned, I briefly passed by Maggie in the hallway when I was coming to the library, so I don’t even know what she says happens.” I know exactly what I’m doing. If sh
