When I get to the river, Ansel isn’t there, so I drop my bag, pull out my pencil and drawing pad, and start to draw, well more like continue a drawing of a detailed penny. It’s crazy to even do that, but I thought why not? So, I am. Aria told me to always challenge myself and try new things with my
“Can I go home and get changed quickly then come back?” “Please do. Wear something comfortable, and I want you back here in fifteen minutes. I’ll start the clock when you leave.” Fifteen? I just stare at him incredulously. What does he mean fifteen? The walk from the river to my house is approximat
“Is it possible that I’m not a werewolf but another type of shifter?” King and Ansel both look at me weirdly. “What?” “Unless you’re a polar bear, I have no idea which shifter role you’d fit in, but I guess that’s plausible.” Ansel replies teasingly, making King snort and me smile. “We’ll just have
For the next few hours, the two boys make me do various things to test my senses. I am given a few different leaves from different plants across the river and into the thicket of trees to smell and then go look for the plants the leaves were plucked from and bring back a leaf to compare. And I did a
Well, today is NOT a good day! I stare gobsmacked at the landscape outside my window when I come out of the bathroom, the sun is no where to be seen, dark clouds are everywhere, the wind is howling and swaying trees left and right, and there’s a significant chill in the air that wasn’t there before
“I hate it when you talk like this, and I hate it that we, that I am the reason you talk like this, think like this. I hate it so much that it hurts some times.” I don’t understand what he means by that, but he doesn’t give me a chance to talk, he speaks on. “I should have been a better father to yo
True to my assumption, when I shut my locker after getting the things I need for the day, I find King standing right there, leaning against the adjoining locker like you see in movies. I scoff and chuckle. “What’s funny?” he asks as he stands straight and is facing me like I’m facing him. “Nothing
“Apologize.” He growls angrily and he even sounds more wolf than man, she gasps and tries harder to fight off his grip, but that makes him tug harder and she winces in pain, well she and I both because I know that must hurt. “What...no! Let go off me, you’re hurting me, King!” she screeches and I s
“Mars…”“I’m going to the kitchen, have a nice shower!” I say and sprint to the kitchen like my life depends on it, limp momentarily forgotten.“Oh, why does he always catch me.” I groan and bury my face in my hands as I stew in embarrassment for a while, and then I begin to get everything ready for
“I’m gonna shower,” Richfield says when we get to the house. “I stink.”“Agreed.” I say with a smirk as he helps me off Remy.“I’ll heat up some of the leftovers from last night and go shower too, but I think I’ll go out today, some fresh air would do me good.”“Are you hanging out with King, then?”
“You better not be developing a crush on him, he is our father, F-A-T-H-E-R, father…and we have a mate.”“Yeah, a mate you want to strangle right now.” I glare at him.“Don’t encourage her.”“A father is supposed to encourage his daughter.”“Unbelievable you two, simply unbelievable.” They laugh as
I wake up to the sound of knocking on my door, and turn to wake Rome up, but when I stretch my hand to touch him, I find the space beside me empty and cold. I jolt awake, and surely enough, King is nowhere in sight. My heart clenches painfully. The knocking persists and I throw the covers off my bod
Oh, and a Ham and Swiss Omelette sounds lovely, by the way. Enjoy your shower. “Get the fuck out of here before I strangle you or something.” He laughs as he leaves.The fact that I’m joined to him for life is a fucking nightmare that I’m not sure how I survive.As I head into the shower, however,
ROMULUSSometimes, humans want things they can’t have. They have desires that are just impossible to obtain, they don’t know or acknowledge their limits, so they desire for things way beyond them, and it burns them out because most of them never achieve these things, and the little who do cut down t
“So good, fuck, you smell so good.” He breathed in deeply, licked his lips, a movement my eyes tracked with the precision of a killer, and then he came closer and brushed his lips against mine again, setting fire to more than just my skin.“Yes, mine.” He whispered against my lips right before licki
True to his word, Rome stayed the night.After dinner, complete with a strawberry and chocolate cake for dessert, we cleaned up, said our goodnights and goodbyes, and King and Luna Daisy left. I was still in Rome’s shirt, and he was still shirtless. And as distracting and arduous as it was, I had to
“That’s some messed up shit.” Richfield says.“I guess, but I’m used to it. I have an extremely high pain tolerance, so it’s nothing. It just hurt so much then, because it was my first one. Anyway, the mark was something like a beacon, leading me straight to her. It was the night she was born, but b
