Enzo I woke up a few hours later to the feeling of Nina’s warm body in my arms. As the memory of our passionate — and somewhat kinky — sex slowly flooded back into my mind, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of peace. Not knowing what happened to my father, however, and whether the Alpha King would
“You little—” I rushed him, fully prepared to beat the hell out of him again, but was stopped when Nina suddenly put herself between us. My vision went red as Matt and Bryce ran over; Matt pulled me away while Bryce tied James up again. The little weasel was even smiling at me through his eyebrows,
Nina “It’s settled, then,” Matt said. “Let it be known from here on out that Enzo Rivers is the Alpha of our new pack. Enzo… Bring us into a new age in which humans and werewolves can be allies against evil.” There was a long silence after Matt spoke. I could feel my heart pounding excitedly in my
Nina Once we had the plan set in place, it was time to implement it. We had to do it while the sun was up, and we would have to do it that day before the Crescents came back to look for us again. Lori and Jessica stayed behind to keep an eye on James, who was still locked up in Jessica’s room. “P
There was a small hatch on the water tank. I kneeled next to it and pried the hatch open, then began dumping the contents of each vial in. Just in case it didn’t work, I saved several vials and stuffed them into my backpack before closing the hatch back up and making my way back out. Enzo and I did
Nina Enzo and I pulled away from each other, looking into one another’s wide eyes with disbelief. Somehow, our plan had worked; all of the rogues had been turned back into our classmates! I couldn’t help but let out an incredulous laugh and throw my arms around Enzo’s neck, grinning as he picked me
Once Enzo, Cynthia and I were alone, Enzo and I began to explain what exactly happened. As we explained that the entire town had been overrun, there were still no Fullmoons anywhere, and that we eventually took matters into our own hands, Cynthia’s eyes slowly widened. “I… I don’t know how to even
Nina There was a long, uncomfortable silence after we announced our new pack. Not only were the Fullmoons — especially Lewis — both appalled and angry that Enzo apparently planned to leave their pack, but dean Cynthia was also shocked that I referred to us as the New Peacekeepers. Cynthia opened h
Nina The warm summer breeze brushed across my skin as I stood on the patio, clutching my robe tightly around my body. Laughter and splashes echoed up from the pool below, where our friends were already gathered for our big end-of-summer party. I should have been down there too, soaking up the ve
“What... what do you mean?” He braced his hands on the doorframe, leaning in closer with a heavy sigh. “I mean, by the time I caught up to them this morning, I only saw them long enough to get that photo before they were boarding a speedboat and taking off. Hell, I’m still not even totally sure wh
Nina My breath caught in my throat as I pulled open the front door expecting to see excited party guests, only to be immediately met with the sight of Luke’s grim expression. His brow was furrowed in a deep frown, his lips pressed into a tight line—clear signs that something was very wrong. “Luk
Nina I huffed out a breath as I hoisted the oversized cardboard box higher in my arms, carefully navigating my way through the living room. Strings of fairy lights poked out haphazardly from the top, and I could feel the weight of glass jars and other assorted decor inside shifting precariously wi
Then, at the last possible second, the scout seemed to find an extra burst of speed. He surged forward, hurtling between two towering oak trees and vanishing into the cover of the forest beyond. “Dammit!” I slammed my palms against the rough bark of the nearest trunk, powerless to do anything but
Enzo The crunch of leaves and snap of twigs echoed through the trees as Matt and I tore after the Schreiber scout. Our breaths came in ragged gasps, the hot summer air burning our lungs. Overhead, a little red bird chirped and flitted through the green canopy of trees; Daphne. But even she wasn’
Shaking my head, I turned without another word and stormed out of the fitting room. I took the two strides across the hall to Jessica’s fitting room and knocked on the door, folding my arms across my chest. “Jess? You in there?” There was a muffled thump in the fitting room, followed by the soun
Nina “How’s it looking in there?” I called out, rapping lightly on the wooden door of Jessica’s fitting room. “Um… decent, I guess?” her muffled voice floated back a moment later, although I could sense the uncertainty in her tone. “Decent? That’s it? Come on, Jess, this is your wedding gown w
Had I really known him at all, I wondered? Or had I merely been too self-absorbed and naive to see past the facade of unshakable command he projected? After a long silence, I found my voice. “Why didn’t he ever tell me that?” “He didn’t want you to see his weakness, I suppose,” Angelica replied
