Bk 2, Ch 38: Kimia
It was the day of the masquerade ball, and I was standing at the edge of the gym watching all the couples dancing. Kam and Rose looked great in their Zelda and Link costumes, and I knew I looked fantastic in my dress. I managed to curl my hair and pin it up in a mockery of the wigs from the eighteenth century.
I scanned the room for Nate. I don’t think I consciously did it, but I did. I saw a few of the girls he had flirted with the last few weeks, but not him. I decided to sniff the room, but I didn’t smell him anywhere. Maybe he decided not to come?
I saw Jen dressed as Belle from Beauty and the Beast. I’ve avoided looking at her since I saw her give Nate a kiss ages ago, but she looked beautiful in her yellow gown. I looked for her Beast, but didn’t see anyone who would fit that description. Then I sa

I got home from the ball and found Ma crying at the kitchen table. “Ma?” I stopped at the door, and took my pirate jacket off. “What happened?”She sniffed, and held her hand out to me. I went over to grab it, and pulled her into a hug. “Cassie.”Fuck.We were on a plane for Boston the next day. Aunt Lulu and the girls met us at the airport. Ma, ran to my cousins, and grabbed both of them into a hug. “My girls! I love you so much! As long as Lulu and I are alive, you will always have someone to love and talk to.” I was left with our baggage. Chrissy and Chassy had grown in the last year. They’re two years apart, and both have long straw blonde hair. They could almost pass as twins.

I hadn't seen Nate in almost a week. I’d been obsessed with what he’d told me at the ball. He loves me. He’s in love with me, and I may have blown my chance with him. When I’d asked Jimmy and Saoirse about him after he wasn’t in school for two days, they’d told me he’d gone back to Boston for his aunt’s funeral. My heart broke for him.I was running some of the trails as a wolf, and retracing some of the paths Nate and I had taken those few months before school had started. The weather was turning cold, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to stay out as long as I had been.Eventually, I ended up close to Nate’s house, and I could smell his scent. It was fresh! He was home! There was also another scent that I didn’t recognize. A female wolf. I followed both scents

“Nate, just because you’re introducing us to some people you think are amazing, doesn’t mean we’re going to choose to move here,” Chassy said as I rang the doorbell of the Graycort’s house. “Oh, my Classy Chassy, you are going to love these weirdos so much, you won’t want to leave,” I grinned. “You’re just bringing us here because some guy texted you his sister is jealous of us,” Chrissy giggled. I grinned. Kam did text me that Kimi came home jealous of the new female scents around my house. She has nothing to worry about, but the fact she’s jealous means she feels something for me, right? More than just friendship? The door opened, and Mrs. Graycort was standing in the doorway. “Nate! What a wonderful. . .

Shifting into a wolf after getting dunked into ice cold water was only a little less inconvenient than getting wet as a wolf. I wish I could magically dry off by shifting, but nope! The water sticks to me, and I end up with wet fur. By the time I had finished shaking off the excess, Nate was out of the river, and kneeling next to me.“Let’s go to my house first, okay?” he asked, then kissed my nose.I waited for him to shift and shake, then we made our way back to the neighborhood. I felt like one weight had lifted off my chest. Admitting to Nate how I felt went much better than I had thought, although I don’t think I’ll be making love in the dirt any time soon. Nate also seemed very happy with me. He kept nuzzling me, and trying to play on our way back. However, another concern entered my mind.&nb
Graycorts Bk 2, Epilogue: Nate
Who would have thought that a little over a year ago, my life would be on a track so different than I had imagined. I thought maybe I’d graduate high school, because it’s the smarter thing to do, but graduating early? Nope. I would have asked if you were high.Yet, here I sit waiting for my name to be called a year ahead of schedule. Ma is in the audience with Aunt Nancy, Christine, and Chastity. The girls ended up moving in with Aunt Nancy when Jimmy and Saoirse left for Gayl in January. Jimmy and Saoirse were there, too. They flew in for the occasion.I glanced at my family sitting next to the Braedons. Sue also flew in to support Rose, and she sat next to Rayan and the rest of the Graycorts. I’m still a little shocked at how quickly they all became family to Ma and me.

“You said your elder siblings are arriving tomorrow?” Jimmy asked while we were playing games on his xbox.“Yeah,” I said as I maneuvered away from some enemy fire. “They called to say they left this morning and they’ll be spending the night at the usual motel.”Jimmy’s avatar was hit, and he had to respawn. “Fuck! Is Rina excited to see me again?”“Probably not. I’m pretty sure she loved being away from you this summer,” I deadpanned.“Probably,” he said. I could hear the grin in his voice.“I will kick your ass if you start stalking her, and not just in game.&r

I adored playing pool. Nate taught me the basics over the summer, and it was amazing! Physics in practice, a display of energy transference using spheres. I couldn’t help but see the impact of large asteroids on planets whenever I played. Of course, I don’t have to contend with an interfering gravitational pull when I hit one of the balls, but nothing is perfect.Leaving Aspen Falls for Gayl was probably one of the best choices I had made. Nobody cared about me here, and I didn’t have people whispering that I was a lying whore. Plus, I got to live with my best friend, and visit my sweet boyfriend whenever I wanted. Add in the benefit of learning how to grift and hustle, and Nate and I have paid for our textbooks with money from our marks.“Ready to make some money,” Nate whispered in my ear after we ente

The drive back was quiet. I sort of wanted to make Kam drive, since I had to deal with his company while I was in the back seat with Kimi on the way to the party, but the way things ended with the two morons Kimi and I hustled put me on edge.Kam and Kimi were both angry with the two guys, but probably for a different reason I was pissed at them. I knew Matty kept trying to annoy me in front of Kimi in hopes of her seeing me in a different light, but he failed to realize we’d been together long enough for her to see my jealous side.I drove everyone to my apartment. The girls spent the night there most days of the week, and I didn’t want them to try to sneak into their dorm so late. Their watchdog of a night receptionist is a massive bitch. They’d get reported, and fined. It doesn’t matter they’d p
