And
Cecilia’s PoVHis lips were on mine before I could even process what was happening. It was all-consuming and soft, and everything I craved in one motion. The way his mouth moved against mine, as if they were made for my lips.His teeth grazed my bottom lip, sucking it into his mouth, and I thought I
My heart hammered in my chest, and my lungs felt like they were about to explode, but I knew he needed help.I swam to him; I was a relatively strong swimmer, so I got to him in no time.I wrapped my arms around his waist; because his eyes were closed, he didn’t see me, so he had no idea what was go
Cecilia’s POVI’ve cliff jumped before, back in high school, when we took a fieldtrip to a waterfall. It was a little bigger than this one, so I knew what I was doing. But the look he was giving me made me feel like maybe I was a bit over the top.“Are you insane?” He asked me, raising his brows. “Y

Cecilia's POVWarren’s casual comment doesn’t seem to rile up Lora, but it sends me into nothing short of a panic.True Mate? What is he talking about?Lora, I ask quietly, hoping there’s no weird side of effect of his curse that will allow him to hear my private conversation with my wolf, have you
You are afraid. You fear I will kill you. “Yes…” I say slowly, not wanting to anger him now with my refusal.But to my relief, he only smiles kindly. Do not worry.
