Anastasia Three Years Later “Butterfly, you’re up!” Neeve, tonight’s manager, called from within the club. I stood from my dressing table and leaned across the sea of eyeshadow pallets, lip glosses, stage paint, and body sprays, to check my make-up in the mirror. A shimmery azure powder coated m
Anastasia The car’s engine was a low hum, a purr that skated along my skin and left me tingling as I cruised down the highway. Or maybe it was the adrenaline. I hadn’t started my career as a dancer by lifting cars and robbing my customers. It was something I sort of fell into. A hobby, if you wi
Anastasia I froze time for a fraction of a second, long enough for me to skirt around them and get a head start. The warmth of blood trickled from my nostril as time resumed. “What the f—” One of them grunted. I didn’t bother looking back to see who it had been. Something agonizingly cold wrapped

I let my magic seep out of me and time slid to a halt.Scattered around the room were she wolves of all ages, each of us wealthy and possessing power in some way. There were Luna’s and Beta’s wives. She-wolves who ran their own companies or were mated to wolves who owned their own companies. Politic
AnastasiaThat night, after returning home from Fallon’s Hollow, I told Caius that I accepted his offer and signed the contract that bound us for life.Things quickly began to change soon after.Caius had been right when he said that all of us—even me—would have to become people we hated in order to
