Try to be Human

Taydyn’s POVI had run for what felt like hours.The world blurred past in streaks of green and gold, the early morning sun filtering through the trees in fractured beams that flashed across my vision with every powerful stride. The earth was cool beneath my paws, damp with dew, the scent of pine and rich soil filling my lungs in a way that felt almost intoxicating.Running like this—really running—always did something to me.Everything sharpened.The wind tore through my fur, carrying a thousand different scents. Rabbits. Fox. The faint metallic tang of distant water. My muscles stretched and bunched in perfect rhythm, power coiled and released with effortless precision.Freedom.Zey was living his absolute best life.He surged forward with reckless joy, fully in control, fully committed, and absolutely not interested in handing back the reins anytime soon.He had headed north.It had been far

Livin on a Prayer

Chapter NineSeannaI slipped into the bathroom at the 7-11 and peeled off my black dress, folding it carefully and tucking it into my backpack like contraband.Black jeans.Uniform shirt. Normal enough.My fingers stilled when I caught sight of my reflection.The redness had spread.It crawled across my chest and up toward my collarbone in thin, branching lines — like lightning trapped under my skin. Angry. Hot. Wrong. I swallowed hard and looked away.The second shower before work hadn’t helped. If anything, the heat had made it worse. My skin still felt tight and prickly, like something just beneath the surface was trying to push out.Don’t be dramatic, Seanna.Probably just the oil.Definitely just the oil.I forced my hands to steady and brushed on a light coat of mascara. Nothing too noticeable. Nothing that would start a lecture if anyone from church ever saw me.Just enough to feel like… m

WOLFSBANE

Taydyn POVI had been sitting in the parking lot for about an hour when she finally pulled in.Zey sensed her before I did.Mate.The word hit my skull like a hammer.My eyes snapped up just in time to watch her climb out of her Jeep, shoulders tight, movements quick and efficient. But what really caught my attention——some loser trailing her like a bad smell.My grip tightened on the steering wheel.The guy closed the distance between them, talking, pressing.Zey was instantly on edge.Get out.His growl rumbled through my head, low and dangerous.I cracked the window just slightly, straining to hear.The male leaned closer.Too close.My hand was already reaching for the door handle when her voice cut through the night, sharp and controlled.“I’m having a small allergic reaction… and I’m hoping the Benadryl kicks in…”I paused.Well.

Gatorade

Seanna POV The fluorescent lights were killing my head.The headache had started halfway through cleaning the gym and had only gotten worse with every passing hour. Ugh. Probably just lack of sleep. That’s what I told myself, anyway. Normally caffeine would’ve knocked it out, but tonight my chest felt tight and strange, like my heart was skipping beats every now and then.I felt like trash. Absolute trash.At least giving Nate grief lifted my mood a little. He’d breezed in at the last possible second—as usual—and planted himself behind the front desk like that was the only part of the job that existed. I’d gotten used to it. Nate loved the social part of working here. The cleaning? The actual labor? Not so much.Working out, though—that was his thing.Me? This was light work compared to what I’d done on the farm growing up.Still, signing up a new member earlier had been a nice win. Boosted my employee stats. Looked goo

A Guilt trip complement

Seanna POV“What’s going on here?!”The low, even voice cut clean through the moment.Ezekiel’s grip loosened instantly.I ripped my arm free.Taydyn stood a few feet away, completely still, staring at Ezekiel. His expression was unreadable—but his eyes were dark.Angry.Thank. God.I quickly stepped back, putting distance—and Taydyn—between me and the desk.“She’s not feeling good,” Ezekiel said smoothly. “And I’m a nurse. Just checking her out.”Taydyn didn’t respond.He just stared.The silence stretched, thick and uncomfortable.Finally, Ezekiel dropped his gaze. “Well… hope you feel better. See you around.”He grabbed his things and left.I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding.When I turned back, Taydyn was already heading for the door.“Taydyn?!”He stopped and turned.Like he’d just remembere

Here goes everything.

Chapter — TaydynI threw my gym bag over my shoulder and started toward the door, forcing my feet to move at a normal human pace.Don’t look back.Don’t—I looked back.She was still behind the counter, pale under the fluorescent lights, that branching red rash crawling higher along her skin like lightning frozen mid-strike. And still… still she managed to smile when our eyes met.It hit me harder than it should have.Even sick, she was beautiful. The kind of beautiful that didn’t try. Hair long and untamable around her shoulders, eyes too sharp for someone raised as sheltered as she pretended to be.She gave me a quick little wave.Zey pushed forward in my mind with a low, aching sound.Mate…“I know,” I muttered under my breath as I pushed out into the cool night air.The parking lot was quiet, the early-morning stillness settling in. I crossed the pavement and slipped into

The Splits

Chapter — SeannaIt had only been a few minutes since Taydyn left.Just a few minutes.And somehow the air already felt different.I was still trying to settle my nerves—still trying to convince my pulse to stop doing whatever erratic, panicky thing it had decided to do—when Ezekiel reappeared.Out of nowhere.Again.I swear the man didn’t walk like a normal human being. He just… materialized.“Well hi,” he said smoothly. “I’m back. Did you miss me?”Every instinct in my body screamed nope.The smile on his face looked too practiced. Too careful. Like he’d stood in front of a mirror and rehearsed it until it looked almost human.Almost.I plastered on my best customer service face.“What can I do for you?”I took a small step back from the counter without thinking.He noticed.Of course he noticed.His smile flickered.“Um… I… was just checking in. Seeing if

Snap?

Seanna’s POVNate finally reappeared.“WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?” I demanded.“Dude, chill,” he said calmly. “I had to take a shit.”“For almost an hour?!”He shrugged.“When you gotta go, you gotta go.”I just stared at him.Unbelievable.I introduced him to Terrance, and the two of them immediately fell into easy conversation.Which was exactly when Ezekiel chose to return.Of course he did.He slid up to the counter like a worm and practically purred my name.“Seannaaaa…”It took everything in me not to physically shudder.“What’s up,” I said, focusing very hard on the computer screen.“Can you start the massage bed for me? That sounds lovely.”I nodded quickly.“Sure, we can get you set up.”I turned.“Hey Nate? Can you take Ezekiel back to the massage beds and get him started?”“Sure thing. Right

Mildly Scandalous

Seanna’s POVI stood there staring at the simple can.It didn’t feel simple.It felt like effort.Like he had actually paid attention My stomach did a weird little twist that had absolutely nothing to do with caffeine.When I looked up at him, I immediately wished I hadn’t.Because he was smiling.Happy.Like bringing me this stupid drink had genuinely made his morning.And wow… okay… that smile.It had been the first thing I noticed about Taydyn. Even now it hit the same way — bright and unfairly distracting. One of his front teeth tilted just slightly at the bottom, barely noticeable unless you were looking for it. Which, apparently, I was.A lot.The rest of his face didn’t help matters. Strong nose. Sharp jaw dusted with just enough stubble to look intentional. His wavy hair fell forward in that messy way people definitely paid money to achieve, and those huge green eyes—T

YOU FORGOT YOUR HAM

Taydyn’s POVAs soon as Seanna disappeared around the corner, I stepped outside with Terrence and headed for the car..I failed.The words tasted like ash as I pushed them through the mind link.She could be getting better right now, I added grimly. But of all the flavors I grabbed the damn orange one.Terrence winced through the link.I can go now and get a second one from the clinic.Inside my head, Zey was already pacing.No — not pacing.Furious.Fur bristling. Teeth bared. A low, constant growl vibrating through my skull.Just tell mate she IS IN DANGER.My jaw tightened.I think she’s going to the store before she goes home, I told Terrence instead. Maybe I can distract her… keep her close.A beat of silence.Okay, Terrence said. Should I come back to the gym or meet you at the store?I don’t know yet. Mind link me when you get back.
