Twelve. Logan’s twelve years older than me! He’s twelve years older than me, has a kid, and has far more experience than I could even imagine. “So you don’t think it’s weird that you’re attracted to a sixteen-year-old?" I questioned. Because he can’t deny he’s attracted to me.

Despite the surface-level pretense of harmony between the packs, deep-seated hatred lingers within, a potent fuel waiting for that one spark—a flame that could engulf all of Bellpond.
