Spare Book Review Novels & Stories

Aria smiled again and moved closer to him. I turned toward the shelves. My wolf stirred. I hated that my body still responded whenever I saw them together. I grabbed a book without checking the title and left. Behind me, I heard Aria laugh. My hands tightened around the book. She was winning. At least, that was what she wanted me to believe.

The day before New Year's Eve, my wealthy parents, Mitchell Parker and Delilah Smith, and my sister, Mila Parker, finally agree to ring in the New Year with me at the amusement park.

Then, I come across my adopted brother Leo Meyer's Instagram post.
