The next day, the literature lecture hall is buzzing with the chaotic energy of a new semester, but my entire focus is locked on the door.

When Julie finally walks in, my heart does a familiar, violent flip—but the mate-bond immediately spikes with a cold, protective alarm.

The bubbly, radiant girl from yesterday is gone. Her shoulders are slumped, her eyes are cast downward, and the brilliant light in her dark brown gaze is completely clouded over.

She spots me and walks over, forcing a small,

    When the kiss finally ends, Julie pulls back slowly, her lips shiny and parted as she catches her breath. A radiant, victorious grin breaks across her face. She stays straddling my lap, looking down at me with her eyes sparkling like stars, completely aware of the fact that she has me entirely wrapped around her finger."See?" she pants softly, bopping my nose with her finger again. "I told you vanilla was full of surprises, Wolf-Boy.""I stand corrected" I groan out a laugh, my hands still resting possessively on her waist. "Vanilla is officially my new favorite flavor. Though I think the reward was mostly for me.” I wink at her."Don't flatter yourself, you definitely earned it" she giggles, collecting the forgotten ice cream and taking a huge spoonful.We pull her heavy duvet down onto the floor, turning it into a giant, messy nest. For the rest of the movie, we lie tangled together, her head resting on my chest while my arm winds securely around her shoulders. Julie keeps eating

    "Now, onto the next battle. Movie choice. Let me guess, you're going to demand some loud, explosion-heavy action flick where a guy punches a helicopter? A total 'boy movie’?" I glare at him.Aiden gasps, faking a deeply wounded expression as he leans back against the sofa cushions."Wow. Profiling. I am deeply offended, Julie. Just because I can break a linebacker in half doesn't mean I don't appreciate the finer arts.""Oh really?" I tease, leaning closer into his space, my hand resting flat against his knee. "What’s your definition of the finer arts? Die Hard? Rambo?”"Try Pride and Prejudice" Aiden murmurs smoothly, a wicked, confident smirk flashing on his face."Wait...what?” I completely freeze, a piece of crust halfway to my mouth. "You heard me lady!” he grins, his blue eyes dancing with pure amusement at my utter shock."The 2005 version. The cinematography? Flawless. The tension? Unmatched. In fact, just last fall, I used my little brother authority to force my brother Seb

    JulieA sharp, aggressive knock on the door violently shatters the electric bubble between us."That must be the pizza" I say, my breath finally returning as I get up.My skin still tingles where his hands were resting, but I force myself to walk over and swing the door open, expecting a regular delivery guy, but the moment the door swings wide, I completely freeze.Standing in the hallway with a pizza box is Johnny. He’s one of Chad's frat brothers, a starting linebacker on the football team, and a notorious hothead who treats Chad like a god. Johnny looks past me, his eyes instantly locking onto Aiden, who is sitting calmly on the edge of my bed. Johnny's face contorts into pure rage."What the actual fuck, Julie?" he barks, his voice echoing loudly down the corridor. "Chad is at the frat house, and you're up here hooking up with another guy? Who the fuck is this loser?""Johnny, get out of here… It’s none of your business. Chad and I broke up."I say, my voice shaking."Broke up? Y

    "Okay, I found a place!" Julie squeals, bouncing slightly on her knees.”Fine, but first, we need to discuss the most important thing…the pizza toppings" I say, crossing my arms and putting on an act of absolute seriousness.Julie glances at me, and her face immediately splits into a look of pure, mischievous challenge. She sits up straighter, crossing her arms to mimic my posture, and narrows her eyes as she takes the bait."Alright then… Let’s lay our cards on the table. What exactly do you want on it?” she asks, raisin her other eyebrow, her voice dropping into a hilariously dramatic, matching mock seriousness.”Pepperoni. Make it double.” I start.”Fine” she agrees.”Extra cheese” she then says.”Good choice" I nod seriously.”Bell peppers” she says.”Fine, red onions” I reply.”Good, and finally… Pineapple” she declares, lifting her chin in a challenging manner.My smile instantly drops into a look of pure, unadulterated horror. ”Pineapple? Julie… putting tropical fruit on a piz

    AidenThe bathroom door clicks shut, and the heavy, electric tension in the room instantly diffuses into something comfortable. I let out a low, amused huff, a helpless laugh bubbling up from my chest as I stare at the blank wood of the door. I run a hand through my hopelessly messy hair, shaking my head. A troll. A raccoon. Goddess, she is intoxicating. The fact that she accepts the bond but plays with it like this makes my wolf purr with absolute adoration. She wants me to wait, and I will gladly spend an eternity waiting if it means keeping that massive grin on her face. I sink onto her bed, the apartment slowly starting to fill with the faint, sweet scent of her vanilla body wash. My wolf stirs with a quiet, restless contentment, but there's a buzzing energy under my skin that I can't shake. I need to tell my pack. I pull out my phone, open my messages, and text Xander.ME: I found her. Julie is my mate.My phone vibrates almost instantly in my palm.Xander: Are you serious?! Man

    ”Okay… So, the guys in 304 are playing Mario Kart” Aiden says, flashing me a devastating grin.”Someone just got hit by a blue shell and is screaming profanities that I didn't even know existed. And just down the hall, some poor soul is writing an essay on a mechanical keyboard, typing like their life depends on it.””Classic college students. What else?” I snort, laughing out loud.”Well, a couple on the second floor is currently in the middle of a massive blowout because the guy got caught cheating…” he says, tilting his head as he listens to the faint sounds vibrating through the ceiling. ”But then, someone in the apartment right above them is completely oblivious, singing top-of-their-lungs pop songs in the shower. With a truly, tragically bad voice.” Aiden suddenly freezes, clearing his throat awkwardly.I look up at him and almost gasp—a faint, incredibly adorable pink tint is creeping up his neck and hitting his ears. He rubs the back of his neck, looking everywhere but at me.

    We dry of and get dressed. I notice it’s getting closer to dinner time.”Babe, do you want us to invite your aunt over and talk about your dad with her?” I ask Ashton.He’s staring out of the window near balcony and I notice he’s deep in thought. I walk over to him and take a hold of his face.”Bab

    ”Want to take a shower with me” Sebastian asks with a deep voice.”Yes” I reply and get up. Sebastian just stares at my naked body with hungry eyes.”Have you any idea how fucking hot you are?” He murmurs and his eyes roam all over my body while he gets up to follow me to the bathroom.I start the

    My aunt Mary is looking at me with happiness. ”I’m so happy for you Ashton, you have no idea” She tells me and now she has tears in her eyes. And suddenly this other man puts his arm on her shoulder and I immediately tense.”What’s going on?” I ask with a sharper tone than I meant to.”Ashton dea

    After dinner we head towards our suite and after our nightly routines we are under the blanket in our huge bed.”How come the bed is this huge?” I ask Sebastian. He laughs heartily.”I don’t really know, it was the biggest one available and I guess I was thinking that I could impress my mate with i
