LOGINI stepped forward, taking the ring off and holding it up for photographs. The mark of the Goddess' Benevolence on my hand. And I looked at Neil, who looked hesitant. His eyes seemed so young and gentle then. He took off his own illusion and revealed the mark on his hand. The gasp that filled the hal
The day of the gala, my stomach was a mess of excitement and nerves. Neil, Dominic, and I had spent days alone in my condo. And while we still hadn't gotten past. Feeling each other up over clothing, I was pretty satisfied. They seemed happy as well. Arielle, grandpa, and I arrived together in one o

VivianI got back to my holding cell in time for the guards to come to collect me. The court case was the first step. I’d be up on the stand soon enough and I wasn't going to hold back. I'd cry every tear, tell every lie, and tear him to shreds before he could get up on the stand. After all, we were
TylerMy heart thundered. My face ached, but it was nothing compared to the shock, the heart ache. I turned looking back at her, seeing her almost as if for the first time. Maya would never hit anyone… least of all me. My wolf cried out, my stomach twisting in my gut, the pain in her eyes."Maya--"
