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

“When you said whatever that smell was, it was like death, I thought of that story about your mate’s dad or whatever being the god of death.”Remy perks up at his words, as if his words are the trigger she needs to figure something out.He’s right“He is?”I say that out loud, and so everyone else l
My heart breaks for her because she was only a child, and her one shot to make it out of that cave was crushed by her mom. Her mom who died and left her right after.“What did you do?” I find myself asking, and she chuckles at that.“Here I was thinking I was the impatient one among us.”“You still
