Chapter Eighty-TwoJenna's POVThe air is thick with tension as I make my way back to the shelter after another day of working alongside Cassie. The café had been its usual bustling self, but every encounter with her leaves me more unsettled. She’s too sweet, too eager, and always watching. The younger lady also has a sunny, bubbly disposition that doesn't match her aura at all. And she always tries to find ways to belittle me. Today, she has her makeup done to perfection, with the perfect cat-eye that causes a few of the male patrons to stop and stare. As we continue to work, I notice that Cassie develops the habit of giving me the wrong order and trying to correct me in the presence of customers, portraying me as incompetent. And then, another time she watches me struggle to balance five coffee cups on a tray and scoffs. “That's not how you do it, Jenna. You're going to end up spilling that whole drink on your shirt, or worse, the floor.” Unfortunately, the rude Mr. Williams i

Chapter Eighty-Four Jenna's POVRaina, standing beside me, radiates fury in waves, her aura so intense that I feel it before I see it. I turn to glance at her, and the sight is startling. Her jaw is clenched so tightly I can see the strain in her neck, her lips pressed into a thin, rigid line. She's not even looking at Cassie, probably because if she did, her anger would boil over and she'd lose control. That thought sends a shiver through me. I know Raina’s strong, but the way she grabbed Cassie and punched her with such ease earlier... that was no ordinary strength.I can’t help but wonder if there’s more to her. Raina never quite fit the mould of a normal human. There’s something different about her—something off-kilter. Yet, despite her unusual strength, she doesn’t look anything like what our kind typically do. Her pink hair, freshly dyed and matching her dark roots, is eye-catching, and she's honestly the busiest woman I’ve ever met. The door swings open abruptly, and the shar

Chapter Eighty-SixJenna's POVAfter our shift, Raina walks up to me, calmer and more composed, her earlier rage replaced with something akin to pity. She looks me over, eyes filled with concern, and asks. “Are you alright?”I put on a convincing smile as I glanced her way. “I am alright.” I reply. She cocks her hips to the side, her generous busts more obvious than ever. “Do you need a ride home?”I shake no head without glancing her way. “The stupid son of a bitch might try some funny business.” She's been staring in your direction all day. Raina's voice is almost a growl now, and I look up at her for a moment, shocked at how familiar she sounds. Not for the first time, I wonder whether Raina could be like me. Just because she didn't fit the stereotype of what a wolf should look like did not mean that she couldn't be. I hadn't felt any sort of affinity with her, not in the way that I did with Eleanor. And I wondered whether that was why I had shrugged off the possibility. I n

Chapter Eighty EightCassie's POVAs soon as they drive off, I emerge from the shadows, anger curling deep within my vein as I experience the throbbing pain from Raina's punch.That had been one hell of a punch, delivered by the fist of one who was no ordinary human. Her fist had almost been iron-like, and her growls were very similar to what I had suspected her to be.I had baited them enough to get enough clues as to what they really were. Now, it was time to let the council know what I had found.I tear the stupid little apron off me. I had never had to do such dirty work for this. The elders owed me big time for making me go through this.They were going to have to grant my request. Going on various missions and accomplishing them meant getting a step closer to my dreams, to the life I wanted.I slip the magic wand out of my hair and flurry it in the air, so that a second later, everything melts away and I am in my room. Everything appears the way I left it, but I know that I am

Chapter NinetyViolet's POV“There are no rules about that either.” I say, my tone almost pleading.Jack turns, his fiery eyes meeting mine. I swallow hard and look away. I have never been able to hold his gaze when his eyes yellows.“I know that there are no set laws about it, but we cannot begin to suck blood like vicious demons.”“There's no problem with taking blood. It's our nature, Jack. Just because we never had a need to do it does not mean it's not a part of our makeup.” I step towards him as the hunger to be claimed by him grows. I cannot help but remember how it felt when Jack, in his feverish state, clamped his lips on my neck and milked me good. When those long fangs pierced my skin, all I had felt was pain. And then, that pain had quickly turned to pleasure, and I'd had to find purchase—to grab his shoulders and lean towards him much more as bolts of pleasure shot from the punctured skin and spread to the rest of my body. As he continued to drink, that pleasure had onl
