เข้าสู่ระบบVincent The guilt dragged at his every inhalation and weighed down each heartbeat. It curled itself sickly in his stomach, making food tasteless. Every time he shut his eyes, Nadia’s pained, angry face hung at the forefront of his mind. Not just for the fact that he’d betrayed Nadia’s trust. That
Nadia I don’t know how I made it back to the dormitory. If Freda had brought me any deeper into the woods, I probably would’ve been too shaken to find my way out. Panic was greying out my vision and pushing ice through my veins. I’d been threatened countless times before, by plenty of people who h
Nadia My heart thumped so loudly that I could hear my blood rushing in my ears, all the way back to my dorm. But I wasn’t crying. I wasn’t thinking about Vincent or Kael or politics or being an unwanted mate or anything else that had happened today. I was hustling to my dormitory under the cloudy
Nadia Slowly, I nodded. “Fine. Tonight. When and where?” I hoped Vincent’s penchant for living in relative secrecy would bear out here, because I really didn’t want to risk having any Fenris Hall students walk in on us doing…whatever it was we’d be doing, attempting to awaken my wolf spirit. Vince

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
