Bonus Chapter 9 – Private Stock

MaximHeidi walks into my bar in a blue cotton dress, and the first thing she does is tell me what it cost.“Eleven dollars,” she says. “I bought it this afternoon, specifically for tonight. Just so you know you don’t need to be careful with it.”It takes me two tries to get the key in the door after that. I haven’t fumbled a key since they were made of iron.I finally get it locked and turn around to face her.She looks me up and down. “You look very expensive.”“I am.”It’s my best charcoal three-piece, and the waistcoat alone cost more than her car. Between the two of us we’re wearing several thousand dollars, and the eleven that are hers are about to end up in pieces on my floor.The bar’s dark. I sent Mervyn home as soon as he arrived, telling him the bar would be closed tonight and offering no further explanation. He’ll lie awake until noon trying to work out what’s going on.Her heart’s quick, without a single nervous beat in it. I wish I could say the same. I’ve rehearsed what

Bonus Chapter 10 – In Perpetuity

Heidi“Yes,” I tell him.This man has told me no for months, and “let me” is as close as Maxim Drake ever gets to asking for anything.It’s also the last thing he asks me for.He takes a folded sheet of paper out of his waistcoat pocket. I typed it myself.“‘Location at the biter’s discretion,’” he reads, and tucks it away again. “I’ve had days to consider my options, and I haven’t decided. I’ll need a closer look at every one of them.”Oh no. He’s going to be thorough.“And my hands?”“When I say so.” His eyes are already red. “With your hands on me, I won’t last a minute before I bite you, and I want you hoarse before I get there.”He lifts me onto the edge of his bed, so high my feet don’t touch the rug. He carried me through that last door too fast for me to see it open. All I get is carved posts, a canopy and lamplight before my attention is swallowed by the gorgeous vampire in front of me.Maxim gets down on his knees in his three-piece suit, takes one of my wrists in each hand

Bonus Chapter 11 – Nine Hours

ToriThe fire alarm goes off at three in the morning, and I’m out of bed with my running shoes on before it’s finished its first shriek.Back home, a noise like that means something with teeth got inside the fence.I’m down the stairs and out the side door while everybody on my floor is yelling questions through the walls.The biggest tree on the lawn has a view of every exit, so I put my back against it. I’m up on my toes, ready to fight whatever comes out of that building.What comes out is a guy in a towel. Behind him there’s a girl clutching her laptop with no shoes on, and then about half the dorm in pajamas, all of them furious with somebody on the fourth floor.“Melanie burned popcorn,” our RA announces, in his boxers.I’m standing guard against a fucking bag of popcorn.My roommate’s the last one out.Kenzie’s wearing a white cotton sheet mask that covers her whole face and makes her look like the bad guy in a slasher movie, and she’s carrying a framed photo of her dog. She le

Bonus Chapter 12 – Queued Up

FinnShe was smiling at my truck, and then she suddenly stopped.I watched it happen through the bus window. She spotted me and grinned like I was the best thing she’d seen all year, and then, just like that, the grin fell right off her face.She told me not to pick her up. I’ve spent the whole day trying to work out what she meant by that, and Dax says she meant don’t pick her up. Dax has no imagination though, and he can’t read subtext from girls.The only person he’s ever been in love with is Noah. I’m not trusting his judgment on this.Besides, she’d have been standing out here at ten o’clock at night waiting for a cab, and I’d have been sitting at home feeling like shit about it.I’ve been parked under this light since before the snow started. That’s a lot of time to think, and none of it’s been good for me.Mostly I’ve been thinking about how happy she sounds every time she calls. If I’m ever the reason she stops sounding like that, I’ll never forgive myself.Is this me not resp

Bonus Chapter 13 – Skin

Tori“Good answer,” I tell him, and drop my duffel.I spent most of the bus ride making a plan. Step one was to be cool about this, and I’m already failing at that miserably.My hands have gone clammy. Finn’s standing in the hall with the TV glowing behind him, like he’s scared that if he moves, I’ll change my mind.There’s absolutely no chance of that, I’ve never been surer about wanting anything in my life, but there’s also no denying I’m scared out of my skull.I’ve never done any of this. What if I’m terrible at it? What if I do something stupid with my hands, or hurt him with my teeth, and he has to be nice about it? He’s waited all this time for me, and I could be a complete letdown.Instead of letting any of that show, I walk out of the spare room, grab his hand on the way past and march him down the hall like I own the place.Halfway down, I stop. There are doors on both sides, and I’ve got no idea which one’s his bedroom.In all the time we’ve been together, I’ve only ever be

Bonus Chapter 14 – As Promised

FinnHer fingers are still on my mouth, and I’ve forgotten how lungs work.She said it first. Tori does everything first. First to make a move, first to pick a fight, first to say the thing I'm still trying to convince myself I'm allowed to say.I've been sitting on those three words since August, and she walks into my bedroom and drops them like they're no big deal.‘No jokes,’ my wolf cautions. ‘Not this time.’She takes her fingers away.“My turn,” I tell her. “And you don’t get to shush me, because I’ve been holding this in for months, and it’s all coming out now.”She nods. Her eyes are wet, and she’s flushed all over. I’ve never wanted to get something right so badly in my life.“I love you, Tori. I’ve loved you for so long I can’t remember what it felt like before I met you.”Turns out it’s stupidly easy. I don’t know why I waited.“You’re the bravest, toughest, most stubborn person I know. You check the entry points in every room you walk into, and then you come and stand righ

Bonus Chapter 15 – Muted

ToriNoah hugs me for about two seconds before he remembers he has a nose.Four months, and I’ve missed him like crazy. For one perfect second there, with his arms around me, I had my big brother back. Now he’s holding me out at arm’s length by the shoulders, staring over my head at Finn.He’s right behind me, rocking on his heels and grinning at the ceiling.“You let me hug you knowing I’d smell… that,” Noah says, like I tricked him into it.His nose was always going to give us away the second we walked in. I came to the gym anyway. There’s no way Finn’s spending an entire day away from me this holiday.“You hugged me,” I point out. “I just walked through the door.”There’s a tag poking up at his collar, and every seam on his T-shirt is on the outside. Behind the desk, Dax is leaning in the office doorway with his hair in a mess, and the sign in the window still says Closed.I don’t need a werewolf nose to work out what they’ve been up to back there.“Your shirt’s on inside out.”Noa

Bonus Chapter 16 – Plus One

ToriThe second Finn follows me into the pizza place, every guy at our table sits up a little straighter.They’ve all asked me out, and he’s the reason they got a no. He’s waving at them with both hands.It’s his first night in Ann Arbor, and I’ve been dreading this part all week. If they’re jerks to him, I’ll pick him, obviously, and then I’ll be eating lunch alone until graduation.“Holy shit,” Brody says. “You’re him.”“I am!” Finn goes around the table, shaking hands with everyone and memorizing their names. “I’m Finn. Thanks for looking out for her down here.”“Dude, she looks out for us,” Brody says. “A guy grabbed Kenzie’s purse outside the library in October, and Tori chased him down in flip-flops.”“I know! She sent me a selfie. She was sitting on him. It’s my lock screen.”I haven’t had him to myself since the bus in Tamarack, and now I’m sharing him with a whole table of guys I turned down. He wanted to meet them, and I’m being very mature about it.Kenzie’s been quiet sinc

Bonus Chapter 17 – With Honors

Finn“Honey, you’re making the whole row shake.” Kelly puts her hand on my knee.“Sorry.”It starts bouncing again the second she lets go.I’ve been in this seat since the moment they unlocked the doors, because I promised Tori I’d be in the front row, and I wasn’t about to lose it to somebody’s grandpa.The last time I watched her graduate, I was hiding behind a maple tree across the street from a building full of hunters. This time I’m up front where she can see me.They’ve been reading names for an hour. Whenever one starts with a T, I suck in a breath, and my wolf says, ‘Not her,’ with genuine disappointment.He’s right. It’s a Tyler, then a couple of Taylors and a Trevor. This school has way too many T names, and I’ve nearly stood up for every one of them.Noah’s got his arms crossed and his scary face on, which means he’s battling his emotions. He lets Dax keep a hand on his thigh the entire time, which says everything about how affected he is.Then the guy at the microphone rea

Bonus Chapter 18 – Bring Your Sister

Tori“I told you to bring your sister.” Lillianna doesn’t even look at me. She’s looking at Finn. “I don’t remember asking for him.”“She moved in with me this morning,” Finn tells her. “Then every lock in my house opened by itself, so I’m staying glued to her until somebody explains that.”“Then be quiet while I do.”Finn’s had my hand in his since his doorway, and I’m not about to take it back.Dax stayed behind to carry my boxes in, because Noah says Lillianna made it very clear on the phone that she wanted me and him and nobody else. Finn heard that whole call. He got in the truck anyway.I haven’t slept since the night before my graduation. I was planning to spend this morning in Finn’s bed, which is my bed now too, with him on top of me until neither of us could walk. Instead, I’m in a witch’s kitchen.I always count the ways out of a room. Two doors, three windows, and a goat’s face squashed against one of them.The witch is half my brother’s size, and she has a stare I wouldn’
