I was eating my cereal slowly, trying my best not to stare at Harrison. He was comfortably sprawled on the couch, gaming controller in hand, totally engrossed in his game.

He'd occasionally press buttons vigorously, tilt his head in sync with the game's movements, and let out loud cheers followed by boasts of victory.

Inside, I wondered how he could remain so calm and collected. The thought alone that he was about to lose his best friend was suffocating; if I were in his position, guilt would have consumed me until I confessed.

As if on cue, Harrison caught my gaze. We locked eyes momentarily, and I quickly put on a blank expression, diverting my attention to my cereal. He, too, turned away, scratching his face awkwardly,

Then I focused on the magazine in front of me, filled with trivial gossip I had no interest in. Carmen lay on a rug, laptop on her lap, deeply immersed in a movie through her headphones.

Beside her lay a notebook and pen, where she periodically scribbled h

    AshantiHyper-focused on Chadwick, I paid more attention to the cues, wanting to better understand what was going on.Something inside me knew that he was attacked by werewolves, and the thought alone filled me with panic and I wondered what connection Chadwick had with werewolves."This looks serious," I leaned forward and put my hand up to push a lock of hair off his face. Hastily, he drew my hand away and snuggled his arms around my waist."Chadwick, what happened to you?""Just as I expected," he forced a smile and tried to downplay the situation. "It's nothing, I swear, just a little accident. Banged my head, is all." Fatigue settled in pockets under his eyes, and he looked like he needed hours of long, uninterrupted sleep."I'm not entirely convinced, but I'll let it go for now. You need to get that checked once we're home, okay?""Sure, Doc," he smiled with a grin and a longing look, then moved closer."I fucking missed you so much. I can't wait for us to be alone.""Okay, guy

    “Fuck,” he whispered, his eyes fluttering in a sexual haze. His gaze was mad with lust, with molten desire. “Tell me what you want,” I whispered in his ear. “What does your cock crave? Tell me and I'll give it to you. I'll pleasure you till dawn and beyond." I pulled at his clothes, pushing them off his shoulders until his bare chest was exposed, and gasped as I felt his tongue swirl forward to nibble the base of my neck, kissing and biting, while his tongue plunged into my throat.My breath came in jagged gasps now and I felt the warmth radiating from his mouth, the heat flowing through my veins sent waves of excitement throughout my body."Don't tease me,” he groaned. “I’m too turned on to think straight. Let's go upstairs.”“No. I want it here.”Chadwick stared at me, a mischievous smile spreading across his lips. “Do you realize we can get caught if anyone decides to come downstairs?”"Then let's make sure no one does," I smiled back. “Let's be quiet like ninjas.” My breathing

    AshantiSomething hot scurried through my belly, burning it and spreading all over it. I realized it was fear, and not just the usual one; this one choked my lungs. Chadwick's announcement was an emotionally disturbing shock, and my mouth gaped open for more than a minute.Although it was no surprise, considering that he'd been attacked by werewolves, I wasn't expecting such a plot twist. Chadwick's eyes were on me, capturing my face, clinging to it, analyzing my reaction, begging me to understand.My lids slid down over his eyes; I couldn't bring myself to speak, and I sat there like an object."Ash, please say something," Chadwick pleaded. "I swear I had no idea. I've thought and spent sleepless nights trying to brace myself for this moment, knowing that you're going to break up with me because I'm a freak. I don't know what to do."He buried his face in his palm, groaning into it, and my initial response was to place my face against the corded muscles of his chest and rock him gent

    Chadwick It is impossible for me to describe the relief I felt when Ashanti accepted me for who I am. I was suddenly very light-headed, no, giddy all over, and I spent the entire night holding her to my chest. But I was confused, and I did not understand why anyone would want to be with me after I had come clean and admitted that I was a freak—a werewolf. I stared at her chest, rising and falling, and my throat thickened. I was locked down with her, and nothing could ever convince me to end our relationship, so any doubts I had about whether or not she was the right woman for me were now history. I had no intention of breaking up with her, so if there was going to be a breakup, it was going to happen on her end. In spite of the panic-inducing situations that had been occurring one after the other, she never left my side, satisfied me, made me happy, and understood me. I grinned carelessly and ran a hand nervously through my hair, feeling a delicious sense of accomplishment. Asha

    Against my will, I drove to Trisha's apartment. The door creaked open, and her sister Beatrice welcomed me and was shocked as a deer caught in the middle of the road."Well, fancy seeing you here.""Where's Trisha?" I asked, keeping my voice stern and getting around to the cramped one-bedroom apartment. The living space was barely separated from the kitchen by a counter cluttered with loose change."I'll go send for her," Beatrice said, every evidence of smiling and familiarity now disappeared. Well, at least she was sensible.The living room had a set of mismatched furniture: a floral sofa, a rustic wooden coffee table, and one office chair which spoke of years spent thrifting.The air was thick with the scent of stale beer that seeped into the fibers of the worn carpet. My stomach churned in disgust at the cocktail of odors: the sharp tang of alcohol and the saltiness of half-eaten chips strewn across the floor."Why the hell would I want Elen to be introduced to such a careless ind

    The air outside the restaurant was heavy with fear and terror. When the local police showed up, they tried to calm everyone down and gave them the go-ahead to leave.After the threat had passed, I crept into the eatery. People ran for their lives while yelling at the top of their lungs. One of the workers even passed out; the stress must have been too much for her to handle, and she would have PTSD for the rest of her life as a result.Not my fault, though.After getting my clothes back, I quickly ran into the bathroom and changed into my human form, looking in the mirror to see if I had any scars. Thankfully, there was none.Then I hastily fixed my hair to hide any signs of distress before stepping out and navigating through the chaos. Chadwick must be scared to death. My eyes searched for him, and I rushed to him. When he saw me, he looked like he was about to cry with relief."I'm fine, I'm fine," I threw my hand around him. He hugged me back immediately, so tight, and his body qui

    AshantiCarmen's words and actions made me lose composure. I was lost for words when I was ejected into the night, covering my face with my hands. I cringed and leaned against the wall outside the apartment, gulping hard and wondering why I felt like crying. It's not like anyone died.Rigidly holding my tears in check, I swallowed hard, controlled my emotions, and shoved my hands into my pockets. The only thing I left the house with was my purse, which contained my phone and some cash.Laughing it off, I walked away, each step leading me to the streets' nightlife. Things were never going to be the same again, and I knew that I would never step foot into Harrison and Carmen's apartment anymore.I thought of Chadwick's house. I didn't want to feel any guilt tonight because I had kept my identity hidden. I needed a break from everyone and didn't have the strength to explain anything.I kept walking from street to street without any destination in mind. Carmen’s reaction stung, but hey, n

    ChadwickI arrived at the Golf Club, waving up my friends and pulling my club from the trunk at the parking lot. But before I joined them, I tried reaching Ashanti again and pinched my lips together when her phone was still switched off.It made me wonder where she could be. When I didn't get her yesterday morning, I stopped by her apartment, met Carmen, and asked about Ashanti's whereabouts, but her response was strange."I don't know," she mumbled and avoided eye contact. I dismissed it because I didn't expect her to be cool with me and felt she was transferring the aggression of Ken's betrayal to me, which kind of made sense as Ken was my best friend. Poor girl.My ball took flight after a satisfying thud. I was enjoying the game a little too much. People say golf is boring, but it always helps to clear my head after a very stressful week.Steve, one of my longtime acquaintances and a neurosurgeon, nudged me. He was almost a decade older than me, but we clicked on many levels."Yo

    Vespa's POVEvery detail about my wedding day brought joyful tears to my eyes. The tears were silent but uncontainable. I didn't mind that I was ruining my makeup in the process. On a beautiful summer afternoon, the biggest event of my life was about to take place. I felt like a fairytale princess and Kai made sure every detail I asked for in my dress and the decor was fulfilled. An archway adorned with roses and peonies, a velvet aisle runner that led me to my happily ever after. My fucking mermaid gown and a tiara, and oh, my groom who truly made my heart sing. This day was the start of our forever. Weak-kneed with excitement, I stood outside the majestic Moon Goddess Temple, a white, three-storey building with white marble pillars. My brother, Luke, waited for me with a warm smile, ready to walk me down the aisle.“You’re a gorgeous bride, sister. And it's not just your looks but the energy surrounding you. I’m glad you found happiness.”With a playful wink, his blue eyes twinkl

    The taxi drove away from George's family mansion and I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. I was finally free from their judgmental eyes and condescending smiles. I felt a bottomless peace and satisfaction wash over me, relieved to be out of George's claws. I'd thought he was different, but it turned out he was just like the rest of them.Fucking manipulative bastard. After paying the taxi driver, I stood outside Grandma Zora's house and let out a swoosh of air. I was hesitant to go inside, wondering if I should tell Grandma Zora and Ziah everything that had gone down with George. But I knew that if I did, Ziah would likely go mental and attack George. He had a temper, and I didn't want to make things worse. I stood there for a few moments, weighing my options. Part of me wanted to spill everything, to let someone know the truth about George's family and their cruel words. But another part of me wanted to keep it inside. I decided to keep quiet and headed inside.My gaze landed o

My hands fell to my side, and I felt so heavy with regret.She stood there, her hands on her cheek, horrified like a child who had just witnessed something horrible. She blinked slowly and couldn't believe what had just happened.I trembled and slammed my fist on the couch. She took a step back, thinking I was going to hit her.“What the fuck?” Her voice cracked. It was a low tone of disbelief. “You hit me!?”“Camilla, I—”She turned away from me, and I felt a pang of guilt. What the fuck have I done?I had tried to control myself but couldn't. I was consumed by a jealous rage, and I blamed her for it. She went to fuck Ziah. I could bet on that with my last cent.I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.

    CamillaI tried and failed to restrain my smile when I overheard Lisa fuming at Paul.She was saying that I didn't deserve to release a single so early in my career and that no one ever got such luck.Lisa was a jealous sadist, and at the same time, she wasn't wrong. I was too lucky to have found Paul, who cherished my musical talent and gave me a chance.I covered my face with my bag and warmth spread through my body, satisfied that Lisa couldn't stop Paul from helping me. I didn't understand why she was so bitter and consumed by jealousy.It was ironic that she felt envious of my success when she had her own unique voice and sang better than me. I counted my good fortune and intended to milk my success for as long as possible, and Lisa would need to get ready for more.Oops. She shot me a 'you'll pay for this' look. My heartbeat quickened as she turned on her heel and walked away.“Whoa, that was some glare,” I said to Paul, who was smiling and opening his bottle of water."What ex

    CamillaHours turned into a day, and I was super uncomfortable and uneasy in George's house. Fortunately, he didn't ask for a blowjob or sex, and I was glad he wasn't entirely stupid. He worked from home and sat behind his desk all day, and his mom had gone to a convention, which suited me fine. After spending the day by myself, George came downstairs in the evening when I was watching TV. I became uncomfortable and sat up, eyeing him warily.“Baby, let's go shopping. I want to spoil you with the finer things in life. He walked over, put his arm around my shoulders, and hugged me tight. His lips were on mine, and before I could get out an objection, his fingers were stroking my hair.He kept kissing my neck, and I fought the urge to gag. He stopped and looked at me expectantly.“You should be resting. Don't worry about me,” I said, looking down at my hands fidgeting on my lap. “And I think I should go home now. I'm not comfortable staying here anymore."“I insist,” he said and leane

    "She's with her boyfriend, the doctor."Vespa's tongue went limp, and when I gave her a summarized version of all that has been going on with Camilla and George, her eyes doubled in size."He sounds very manipulative. I don't think Camilla should be with him if she doesn't want to. The fact that she rejected his proposal is enough warning.""Grandma said if she leaves him, he'll kill himself. Camilla must be feeling guilty and feels that it's her obligation to take care of him.""That can never be me," Vespa said under her breath, and I nudged her playfully.When Kai called for a meeting, I knew he was about to enact some stupid rule that would only favor himself. I stared at him blandly and watched as Grandma Zora sat in her favorite chair."This had better be quick. I have a show to attend," Zeke said. "Fine," Kai said, rising. "As you all know, Vespa's coronation is near. She has decided to reject two people, and we know who they are." His voice was commanding and final and he gl

    ZiahThe silence in the house was deafening, it felt like a heavy emptiness that echoed through every room. My heart felt just as hollow, like something was missing, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. It was like I was searching for something, but I didn't know what I was looking for, or maybe I just didn't want to admit it to myself.I was stuck in a funk, waiting for Vespa's return after five long days away with Kai. But instead of excitement, my mind was consumed by thoughts of Camilla.Camilla…Even the mere mention of her name turned me on. I couldn't shake her off, no matter how hard I tried. I let out a frustrated sigh and gazed out the window, watching the trees sway in the breeze. It was like my heart had a mind of its own, stubbornly fixated on someone who wasn't even meant to be mine. I wondered if Camilla had cast some sort of spell on me - how else could I explain this crazy, all-consuming attraction? It defied all logic, especially since I already had
