Not a phony who lies to little girls with Leukemia. You should be ashamed of yourself.” Her words sent another jolt through my chest, hot tears pricking at the corners of my eyes. “I didn’t mean to—” “That’s enough, Mother.”

Michael returned with a forced smile and I had to fight back a smile this time because the look of anger on Carlos's face was hilarious.

“North Storm! I promised you the head of the villain, and I have delivered. I have brought Jeremy to face his punishment!” The crowd whispered, clapped, and roared happily. Stellan raised his hand for silence, and the air went still. “But revenge is not the only good news I bring,” Stellan continued. “I have also brought someone vital to me and to this pack—my future Luna, Leona Lombardi.

"And now I hear out of nowhere that you have got a job in the Deluca Empire. Smack me by the face. What the hell is going on, Nadia?" Steph, my best friend, queried as she watched me do my makeup.
