Enzo That night, I hardly slept. Even though the campus had been saved, there was still so much left to worry about — primarily my father. If the Alpha King withdrew his aid, then that only meant one thing: he thought that I ran away entirely, and he didn’t know about Nina. If he didn’t know about
Cynthia nodded. “Perfect. Do you have any idea if Tiffany left instructions on how to make more, or…?” Nina shook her head. “I don’t know. I’m sure she did somewhere. I can look.” I could tell that talking about Tiffany made Nina upset. It made all of us upset — even Lewis and the other Fullmoons.
Nina Enzo and the rest of us stared after Lewis and the dean in disbelief as they walked out of the conference room. Were they really not even going to try to help the surrounding towns? I could understand that Cynthia’s main concern was for her campus, but the Fullmoons were the ones who were at w
Nina Later that evening, the rest of the pack made their way over to our dorm for our meeting. Lori, Jessica and I prepared something for everyone to eat, although we were already beginning to run low on food what with the grocery store being deserted and all. Thankfully, Matt and the others brough
But at the same time, my friends’ words were comforting and exactly what I needed to hear. Their gentle support was going to be enough to get me through this, and I was sure of that. … At the end of the party, it finally came time to have our official meeting. Everyone was a little tipsy from the
Enzo I hardly slept at all that night. Even as I held Nina, feeling her sleeping peacefully in my arms, I couldn’t seem to relax for even a moment. My mind raced nonstop over what was to come; what would I do when I returned to the werewolf realm? I couldn’t just walk into the Alpha King’s mansion,
“Enzo,” she moaned, digging her fingernails into the flesh of my back as I thrust myself into her, her eyes rolling back in pleasure, “I love you.” “I love you too, Nina,” I whispered. I leaned down to suck on the soft skin of her neck, relishing in the feeling of her wrapped around me and the feel
Nina Enzo held my hand until the last moment, only releasing it just moments before the portal closed. I wanted to hold onto him and jump through the portal with him, but I knew that it would never work. And he was right: I needed to stay here. There was still much to do. “Are you gonna be okay?”
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
