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

“So, you’re telling me that after your smoking hot bathtub session, you kicked him out?” I groan, my cheeks aflame. I’ve spent the last hour recounting everything that’s happened to Aria, everything, including how I almost died at the hands of those alphas, and then Andy, and the only thing she got
“The shadow god is an abomination. He was never supposed to be born. He’s the product of an unholy ritual, an anomaly.”“What do you mean?” I ask, horrified that she’d say such a thing.“I mean exactly what I said. Goddesses are not supposed to bear children, we can’t. The gods, they can go fuck aro
And I guess maybe I would feel it if there’s something wrong with him because of our bond, but then again, our bond isn’t completed, so maybe I wouldn’t.Is he angry and leaving me for good?
