Who Is Sloan In You Novels & Stories

"But it means she’s close. Or someone who knows her is close." Suddenly, the house phone rang. It was the same short, sharp chirp from the studio in the woods. Caspian picked it up and put it on speaker. "Is she back yet?" a voice asked. It was Sloane. My roommate. My friend. "Sloane?" I ran to the phone. "Sloane, where have you been? I’ve been texting you for days!" "I'm so sorry, Sera," Sloane said. She sounded like she was crying. "I couldn't talk to you. They were watching my phone. They told me if I helped you, I’d lose my scholarship too."

This isn’t the time to think about how goddamn beautiful she looks when she’s mad. “Sloane,” I said quietly. She turned. Wide eyes. Sharp voice. “Wait, so let me get this straight…” Her hand flew out dramatically. “You’re Nikolai? The Nikolai? As in, president of Drone Lux Holdings?!” I gave her a small nod. “Yes.” She let out a short, breathless laugh. “Wow.” Just one word. But the way she said it, it carried a thousand emotions. Shock. Anger. Betrayal. Confusion.

After exchanging ideas on training warriors, Xander teases, “I heard you’ve found your mate.” I smile, “Yes, she’s a human mate.” Xander and I have known each other for decades. There’s no need to keep it from him. Xander raises his eyebrows. “Does she know about the Luna?” I nod and take on a troubled look. “She knows it and accepts it. It’s Eva. I don’t understand what’s wrong with her today.” Xander shrugs. “Yeah, she seems a little weird today.” That’s an understatement. She’s insane today.
