Mag-log inNadia I wanted to hustle over to my next class as quickly as possible, in the vain hope that Intro to Lycanthropic Literature would have nothing worse for me to deal with than boredom. (My class after that…well, let’s just say I was dreading being in attendance there as much as the teacher probably
“Look, you know you don’t have to fixate on Kael all the time, right?” I gestured vaguely at Anna’s whole…Anna-ness, her long blond hair and slim body and designer athleisure wear. “You’re allowed to have other stuff going on. And even if you don’t, come on. You’re this, like, beautiful and popular
Nadia Anna was seemingly struck dumb with surprise – whether by my victory or my offered hand, I wasn’t sure. I raised my eyebrows at her, shaking the offered hand pointedly. “Come on,” I said. “This isn’t a trap. I’m not you.” Slowly, she took my hand and let me haul her upright. She watched me
She’s vain, so she’ll probably try to protect her face. Long loose hair, easy to pull. Skinny but not short; I might be able to flip her if I use her own weight, but she’s bigger than me, probably too heavy for me to bowl over myself… “Don’t worry,” Anna told me in a low voice, interrupting my flow

The medicine would take some time to kick in, so I returned to the bathroom, refilled the glass, and dampened two rags with chilled water. Kael practically sighed when I touched the cold fabric to his skin. I draped one across his neck, covering the quick, fleshy tick of his pulse, and used the othe
Nadia“Impossible.” Anna shook her head in disbelief. A fresh whisp of air flew by us, and her pale hair snapped into her face, a strand sticking to her lip gloss. The scent of her strawberry shampoo swept by me, nauseatingly sweet. “Impossible.”“What?”“You can’t resist an Alpha command,” she said
Nadia“Boxing?” I asked in disbelief. “At five in the morning?”I had never been much into exercising. At the orphanage, Cliff had been strict with our free time. He liked us best when we were small and broken. Malleable.Most often, chores had been our main source of entertainment. And whatever tim
KaelThe girl didn’t react to the word. Despite the fact that mate was now the only thought inside Kael’s brain, Nadia didn’t seem to share the pit he felt in his chest.Instead, she turned her nose up at him and shoved two hands into his chest. Kael stumbled back, caught off guard.“It’s not my fau
