The Third Man Book

There's nothing more shattering than hearing that you're signed off as a collateral to marry in order to clear off your uncle's stupid debts. "So this is it" I pull the hoodie over my head and grab my duffel bag that is already stuffed with all my important stuff that I need for survival. Carefully I jump down my window into the bushes below skillfully. I've done this a lot of times that I've mastered the art of jumping down my window. Today is different though, I'm not coming back here, never! I cannot accept marrying some rich ass junkie. I dust the leaves off my clothe and with feathery steps, I make out of the driveway. A bright headlight of a car points at me making me freeze in my tracks, another car stops and the door of the car opens. There's always only one option, Run!

The rain starts to hit at my window, I can see dull clouds slowly coming over. I frown as I look trying to ease my mind. Again my mood is reflected in the weather outside.

It isn't often the weather reflects my mood, when it does it's usually because I'm riddled with anxiety or stress and unable able to control my feelings. Luckily its a rarity, though today as I sit looking out of the window I can't help but think about the giant task at hand. Can Iris unlock her family secrets and figure out what she is? A chance "meet cute" with an extremely hot werewolf and things gradually turn upside down. Dark secrets emerge and all is not what it seems. **Contains Mature Content**

“Damian, you ever wondered why I didn’t want to marry you when you proposed?” In front of prison, Catherine suddenly smiles, only it’s bitter than ever, “You chose HER over me once, and I had sworn to never allow you to do that again.” Damian opens his eyes in shock. “But then I married you. You said you were over her, and you kept choosing her over me, over and over and over again, showing me that I would always be the third wheel in my own marriage. Every time I compromise, you would only prove again that she weighs the most in your heart, more than anyone.” “Catherine--” “You can choose her over me as much as you want from now on,” Catherine’s curvy eyes are so gentle and bright, yet it hurts Damian’s heart more than any weapon in the world, “but today, THIS, is the last time I’m gonna care about it.” “Goodbye, Mr. Moore.”
