I won't pretend that's a small thing to ask of you."

William looked at him. "No, I believe she is 23." Dex hums. "Her birthday is May 10th, 1996. She is 25, about to be 26." William hums. "Grace?" He says.

We had hope for Grace, we were going to make other regret ever hurting her, when she woke up on her birthday, she was to have us there in place but something was wrong... we never got the ability to push through to give her the changes she was needing.

Couldn't do anything except experience being absolutely powerless. Dr. Voss's eyes went wide. "That's—that's impossible. You're three years old.

so many fucking tears! “I just want you to be accepted into the pack, Grace,” Paul stressed, snapping me out of my internal rant. “It’s been 5 years and you still haven’t accepted the alpha’s offer and left your old pack behind. The other members here are whispering about you. We let you off when you were young and afraid, but you turned 18 two years ago.
