Reading In Between The Lions Novels & Stories

I pee a lot, and smelling and seeing things that are sensitive to my body makes me puke. "Liam, just leave the poor girl alone." Sydney stepped in and pressed those breasts of hers on Liam's arm. "Come on. The book is a room. So we are going to have loads of fun." Loads of fun, indeed. "Just give me a minute," Liam brushed Sydney off, making her pout. "Lily, are you okay?" I scoffed.

"Internal temperature rising." "Good." Elion sat on the floor with his own mug. He looked at the notebook lying on the table. "The Archive," Elion said. Cale looked at the book. "The manual," Cale said. "Do you want to read?" "I cannot read. The symbols are static." "Do you want me to read?" Cale nodded. One squeeze on the air. "Yes. Input is required." Elion picked up the book. He flipped through the pages—past the fire, past the bridge, past the wedding.

"What's the matter? Are you scared? I thought you loved me and wanted my forgiveness. Looks like you're just a scaredy cat hiding behind the mouth of a big talker! "Listen up, stop embarrassing yourself by chasing after me. Even your presence annoys me.” The other girls at school started looking at Mark differently. They were surprised, and some even laughed at him. Mark's pride was hurt, and he got a little mad. "I didn't know Alice's true colors! I just felt sorry for her and wanted to help someone who seemed weak. What's so wrong about that? "Are you really going to be this petty and fight with me over everything?"

It was Jax who let his guard down over books. I smiled. I remembered the lavish life I got to visit when I was younger. But out here, none of us really knew how to read. Not well anyway. We had codes made up. But we couldn’t read books like Aspen had always had. We couldn’t read that version of written language. We had never been taught or had the resources to teach ourselves. “You don’t have books?” S looked horrified. “Then how do you know what side you’re on is the right side?”

I asked when the laughter settled down. “Lisa’s an author and a city girl,” Kenzie explained. “She’s not used to being around domestic animals, let alone wild ones.” “So, she came into the deep woods where there are wild animals all about to relax?” Noah incredulously pointed out. “Piss off,” I snapped. I’d had just about as much of his pompous attitude as I could stand. Host or no host, the man was rude and insulting. “I’d say you did enough of that for all of us,” Noah chuckled.

‎ ‎Families gathered around us, waiting to see our first transformation. ‎ ‎Liam stood beside me. ‎ ‎"I wonder what our wolves will look like. Do you think it'll be as big as my dad's?" ‎ ‎I laughed. ‎ ‎"No. Probably not big... but it won't be so small either." ‎ ‎One after another, wolves burst free. ‎ ‎Bones cracked. ‎Howls filled the night. ‎ ‎Parents cheered proudly. ‎ ‎Liam shift into a large grey wolf. ‎ ‎Soon, everyone around me had shifted.
