"May I go home now?" I beg and Jake smiles. He nods with the same smile and stands up, holding his arms out.

I hold onto his arms to steady myself as I slowly stand up. Everything aches and I grunt when I find my balance.

"I hate this feeling," I huff out, starting to walk.

"What feeling?" I can feel Jake's eyes on me.

"Being in pain." I laugh at the statement. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I don't know how people do things that inflict pain. I hear Jake walking behind me and he turns me to him.

"You'll get used to it," he mutters as he picks me up. I want to protest but I am aware I would not have made it through the bedroom door. Jake walks through the door and out of the cabin toward his car.

When we reach the car, I open the door so that Jake doesn't have to struggle with that too. He places me on the seat and I notice a bag near my feet.

"What's that?" I gesture to the bag. Jake closes the door and walks around the car, getting in and closing the door.

"Your clothes," he says

    "I- I don't know . . . Kate," he stammers, his voice barely audible. It looks like he might back away. He closes his eyes with a slow exhale. When he opens them again, his gaze locks with mine."Can I hug you?" he whispers, the question so soft it feels like it's meant to slip away if unanswered. I open my mouth to answer but I snap it close again.I open my mouth, but no words come out. I snap it shut again, suddenly overwhelmed. He wants to hug me? Just before he turns away, I gather all my courage."Yes," I say with a raspy voice. I clear my throat before I answer again. "Yes, I would like that." A wide smile spreads on my face but Jake seems uncertain. I cannot exactly read the emotion in his eyes. He seems mostly confused, but there is a hint of something else as well."Okay," he breathes out and pulls me into a tight embrace. His arms enfold me as my arms wrap around his waist. I let out a small sigh of contentment.It almost feels like the hug is taking away some of my pain. I

    He rushes closer and places his hand on my wound. I notice the veins in his hands turning black as the pain in my shoulder decreases. Is he taking away my pain?“Are you okay? Here, let me help,” he says with concern. He gets the shirt off of me and tosses it into the laundry basket in the corner.When Jake looks at me again, I suddenly realize that I’m not wearing a bra. FANTASTIC. I close my eyes, trying my best to ignore the blush creeping onto my face. Jake takes my face in his hands and I open my eyes.“Listen, if you’re uncomfortable, I will leave. But I doubt that you are going to get into the bath successfully without my help. I won’t look, I promise,” he says with his hand on his heart. I laugh and shake my head.“Oh, all right. But if you look, I swear-““I won’t,” he says with a serious expression. I give him a tight smile and he gestures to my pants. I take a deep breath before I lift my butt from the edge of the tub. Jake expertly shimmies the pants down my legs. Typica

    Loud sobs wake me from my sleep. I open my eyes with a struggle, sighing deeply. I look around the dark room and try to remember where I am.Another sob pulls me back to my room and I shoot up. The pain in my shoulder serves as a reminder of what happened. The tearing pain causes me to groan. Why did I not die?“No, please.” Jake?I sit on my knees on the bed and search for him between the covers and blankets. My hands touch warmth and I grip his arm.“Jake,” I whisper. He lets out another silent cry, followed by the rapid shaking of his head. I lean over him to reach my nightstand and switch on the small lamp.When I sit back, I notice Jake’s tear-stained cheeks. Was he crying? He shakes his head again. He is having a nightmare.“Jake, wake up,” I say, louder this time while tapping his arm. It looks like he is captured inside the nightmare, unable to escape. I tap his chest while calling his name, hoping he would wake up.His hand shoots out to grab my arm and he yanks me down, hove

    The alarm rings through my room and I pull the blanket over my head. My shoulder and neck throb, causing me to let out a silent scream. How am I going to get through this day?I stumble out of my bed and yawn loudly. I hear my mother’s voice downstairs and I smile to myself. I have missed her.I am still surprised that I managed to sleep through the whole Sunday. Somewhere last night, I heard my parents coming in. I am still curious about what my dad, well Kate’s dad, does for a living.The black leather jacket looks appealing, especially with my white jeans and red scarf. Jake would probably not even notice that I am wearing his jacket.I struggle to get my shirt on, but after a few pained groans, I pull my jacket over my shirt. With my trainers in my one hand and my phone in the other, I rush down the stairs. I am probably going to be late.“Ah, there she is. We wanted to come say hello last night, but your light was off. How was your weekend?” My dad asks, holding his arm out for a

    “Shit girl! That sounds intense. I am so glad that I am not you right now. What are you going to do?” Cora asks, wiping the sweat from her forehead with a pink towel. She is out of breath, her blonde locks falling over her face.“That’s why I told you all of this. I need advice,” I say with a hint of frustration. Cora whips her head back and pulls her locks into a high ponytail.“I don’t know. How did you get into this situation? I thought you and Jake were on good terms. You spent the whole weekend with him and now what? You are not going to talk to him? I feel like you are not telling me the whole truth.”I open my mouth but close it again. I only told her about the fair we went to and that Allison and I had a fight. And that Jake spent the night at my house, so the comment of not wanting to face Jake does seem odd.“I- I just don't know what we are at this stage. He might be afraid of commitment,” I say with defeat, taking Cora’s bag that she holds out for me. “Tell him how you fee

    I push the broccoli around on my plate, thoughts racing through my head. I swallow the sigh that wants to escape. I am still trying to process what happened with Jake. The one moment, he spends the night, and then, he tells me to stay away. And the worst of it all is the fact that he was not at school on Tuesday or today. None of the werewolves were at school. Not even Allison. Where are they?“Catherine, dear. Are you all right? You are not eating,” my mum says with concern. I look at her and force a smile.“I am just tired,” I lie, and she reaches her hand over the table to me. I take her hand and she squeezes my hand. My dad places his knife and fork on his plate. Oliver has a big assignment and he was with Bianca the whole weekend, so he has to catch up.“Thank you love. It was delicious,” my dad says as he stands up. He gives my mum a kiss on top of her head. He then proceeds to take my plate along with my mum’s and head to the kitchen.“I have to get going,” I say, standing up. M

    I thank the author for leaving Jake’s cabin unlocked. I do not believe that it was Jake who left it open, so thank you, author. Jake’s cabin is extremely neat. It looks like Jake packed some things and then left along with the pack. I hope they come back.I throw my stuff on the counter and let out a long sigh. This is going to be a long night. I informed my mother and she sounded excited for me. I did not say that Jake would not be here for this. He will just have to get over it.I sort through the paint before I go to look for the drawing. Where would Jake put it? I move from the kitchen to the living room, but it is not there. Maybe it is in his room. I do not want to snoop around in his room. Unfortunately, I need to do this today.I slowly walk to his room, and the door creaks when I open it. His room is also very tidy and it still smells like him.

    Cora plunges down next to me with a laugh. I turn my head to her, still chewing on the roll-up. She waves to someone before she returns to me. She lets out a quiet shriek.“What happened with you?” I frown. “Your hair?” She gestures to my hair and my hand shoots to my hair. I flatten my hair, but she stops me. “Let me.” She gestures for me to turn around and I feel her pulling my hair into a braid.“I had to do an all-nighter for that stupid assignment,” I say when she finishes with my hair. She giggles and shakes her head.“That bad?” I nod, taking another bite. “Well, I hope you have enough energy for the party tonight. I do not want you to bring my energy down,” she says before she takes a sip of water. I raise my brows at her and she lets out a loud gasp. “You forgot? Girl, you are such a disappointment. I do not care how tired you are, you are coming. You hear me,” she says with a threatening voice. I laugh loudly at her crazy eyes.“Fine. But I am leaving early,” I say and take a

    The night air is cool against my bare skin when the balcony door creaks open. I don’t even have time to react before I feel Jake’s arms around me, pulling me flush against his warm, hard body. His scent—pine, smoke, something uniquely him—wraps around me as he buries his face in my neck. He presses a slow, lingering kiss just beneath my ear.I let out a soft laugh, feeling the very evident state of his arousal against me. “You’re absolutely insatiable, you know that?”Jake hums into the kiss. He kisses me deeply and his tongue slides against mine in a way way that makes my toes curl. His hands skim my sides, warm palms pressing into my bare skin as he pulls me closer. My mind flickers to Blaire, but I don’t want to ruin this moment. I hesitate for just a second too long.“What’s wrong?” Jake pulls back, his dark eyes studying me. I swallow, then sigh. “Blaire stopped by the house.”Something changes in him. His body tenses, his fingers tighten on my waist and his pupils dilate. In a

    By the time practice is over, my legs ache something fierce, and my arms feel like they might fall clean off. I just know I’ll be paying for this tomorrow. But it’s worth it. The adrenaline, the teamwork, the rush of landing a perfect spike. And, of course, the sheer joy of wiping that smug "You’ll never get that ball" look right off Cora’s face when I absolutely do.I sling my towel around my neck as we walk off the court, still catching my breath. Cora nudges me with her shoulder as she shakes her head.“You’re getting cocky,” she says, though she’s grinning.I let out a breathy laugh, rolling my shoulders. “Nah, I’m just getting better,” I say, shooting her a cheeky wink.Cora huffs, but she’s amused. “You’re insufferable.” She shoves me lightly, and I stumble in mock offense.“Oi!” I exclaim, holding a hand to my chest. “Violence. Unbelievable.”She snorts as we step into the hallway, the distant sounds of practice still carrying from the gym. It’s mostly empty now, save for a few

    I wake up and immediately know I’m in trouble.The light streaming through the curtains is too bright, too unforgiving. When I groggily reach for my phone, my stomach drops.“Oh, shit,” I groan, bolting upright.Jake, the smug bastard, is still lying in bed, arms folded behind his head, watching me like I’m the most entertaining thing he’s ever seen.“Something wrong?” he drawls, his voice deep and lazy.“I’m late, you absolute tosser!” I scramble to untangle myself from the sheets, nearly face-planting off the bed in the process.Jake just smirks. “You weren’t complaining about time earlier.”I throw a pillow at him. He catches it midair, still looking far too pleased with himself.I don’t have time to argue. I’m already halfway to the bathroom, muttering a string of expletives under my breath. The shower is the quickest I’ve ever taken. It’s just enough to rinse off before I hop out, towel barely secured around me as I rush to throw on the first outfit I gather. My shirt is wrinkled

    The first thing I notice when I wake up is the warmth beside me is gone.My eyes snap open while my heart lurches in my chest. The bed is empty. The sheets are slightly rumpled where Jake had been, but he’s nowhere in sight.Panic flutters through me before I hear the soft sound of water running. A second later, the bathroom door opens, steam curling around the edges and Jake steps out.My breath catches.His damp hair falls messily over his forehead and droplets of water trail down his bare chest. A towel hangs low on his hips. Very low.When he sees me awake, a soft smile spreads across his face."Morning," he murmurs.Before I can respond, he crosses the room in two strides and climbs back into bed. He pulls me into his arms like he never wants to let me go. His skin is warm and fresh from the shower. He smells incredible."You okay?" he asks, his lips ghosting over my temple.I nod, relaxing against him. "I thought you left."His arms tighten around me, his voice turning serious.

    I don’t move. I forget to breathe.Jake takes a small step closer.My pulse jumps. My fingers twitch at my sides, but I stay rooted in place. His golden eyes flicker with something unreadable in them and he pauses. Just for a second. Like he is hesitating. Like he is considering something.And then he makes up his mind.The space between us disappears and his lips brush against mine. Soft, tentative, almost careful. My breath catches. He’s warm, the scent of him wrapping around me. I don’t even think before kissing him back. My hands lift so that my fingers graze the sharp cut of his jaw and I melt into him.The moment swallows me whole. My mind flickers back to every time we’ve done this before. Kissing him on the couch at his cabin, that first stolen kiss that changed everything. The way I kissed him after the game back at my house, adrenaline and excitement still thrumming through me. The time we kissed on the football field, alone. I remember the smell of grass. And Jake. And the

    I walk through the crowded hallways, my bag slung over one shoulder. I am still floating from this morning. My skin is buzzing with warmth, a lingering trace of Jake’s arms around me. It’s ridiculous how much I missed him, how much lighter everything feels now that things are okay again. I find myself replaying the moment in my head over and over. The way his arms tightened around me, the way his lips brushed against mine so softly. I don’t think I’ve ever woken up feeling so content.Cora practically materializes at my side, looping her arm through mine in one fluid motion.“So,” she says, her lips stretching into a knowing grin. “I need to find a dress for prom.”I let out a short laugh, shaking my head. “And this is my problem because…?”She stops dead in her tracks, gasping dramatically like I’ve just insulted her entire family lineage. A couple of freshmen glance at her in alarm before scurrying past. “Katherine Lauder, do not tell me you’re not going.”“I wasn’t even thinking

    I wake up slowly to warmth, my body curled against Jake’s. My head is nestled in the crook of his neck. His steady breathing soothes me and his arms are still wrapped around me. He holds me as if even in sleep, he refuses to let go. I don’t move. I don’t even think about moving. I stay there, sinking into his steady presence. I focus on the way his scent fills my senses and how his chest rises and falls under my palm.Memories flicker through my drowsy mind. I remember the last time this happened. The couch and the soft hum of the television in the background. I had fallen asleep like this and it was Allison who woke me up. Jake had been holding me then too, just like this. Like he never wanted to let go.The memory makes me tighten my hold on him, burying my face deeper into his neck. He’s here. He’s really here. Safe, warm, real. The relief is overwhelming. Now there is nothing pulling me away. There is no reason to leave this perfect warmth. Carefully, barely even breathing, I li

    I trace small patterns on Jake’s arm, my head resting on his shoulder. His hold around my middle is firm, reassuring, his body pressed against mine like an unshakable force in the chaos of my emotions.The tears have not stopped. They keep coming, each one dragging more guilt to the surface. Jake’s arms tighten around me as if he can somehow keep me together when I feel like I might shatter.I focus on the steady rise and fall of his breathing. I try to anchor myself in the warmth of his presence. As I cry, my heart aches for him too. He has suffered because of me, endured so much because of the choices I made. Each sob makes me want to apologize over and over, to take it all back, but I know I never can. The damage is already done. And yet, here he is, holding me, staying with me, despite everything.Something shifts in that moment. For the first time in months, I don’t feel completely alone.

    My eyes flutter open as I wake up, a soft groan escaping my lips. My body stretches out against the sheets, actually rested. It has been quite a while since I felt this rested. The light seeps through the curtains and covers the room in a muted glow.I blink at the clock beside my bed. The numbers blur together before they finally click. Oh shit.A jolt of panic shoots through me as I sit up too fast, my heart pounding. I’m late. Way too late.Adrenaline kicks in and I scramble out of bed. I yank on a loose hoodie without bothering to check the mirror. My shift at the diner. I was supposed to be there hours ago.I hurry down the stairs, my feet stumbling over themselves while I try to shake off the grogginess. When I reach the kitchen, I freeze in the doorway.Jake is sitting at the table, a plate of breakfast in front of him. My mum is chatting away, smiling like she has not seen him in years. Well, she has not seen him in months. My stomach twists, a strange mix of guilt and grati
