Sinful Desires: Fatal bonds의 모든 챕터: 챕터 21 - 챕터 25

This was a mistake.I knew it the moment I stepped into the shadows beyond the academy walls, the wind colder here, quieter. The path toward the old stone bridge that marked the edge of wolf territory felt longer than usual. My boots scraped against gravel, each step sounding too loud in my ears.I almost turned back three times.But I had already decided.If I was going to sign my name into werewolf defense, if I was going to stand against the vampires instead of lingering between both worlds like a confused stray, then I owed Seraphiel honesty. If I couldn't own up to a man I owed honesty? What good would I do in a battlefield?

The fading light caught on his pale skin, making him look almost unreal.“You look troubled, little wolf,” he said softly.He did not move toward me.That made it

I did not even have time to process the tearing pain in my chest.Before I could understand why Aldric’s name had surfaced so violently in my heart, I felt it.His presence.
