“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
“What’s wrong with how I smell?” he doesn’t even wait for me to finish before he replies. “Nothing, I love the way you smell, like water lilies. I love it, but right now, I’m feeling really irritated and possessive, and I want nothing more than to bathe you in my scent, just let me, please.” He isn
“Yes, that’s my theory. Our wolfs are inclined to protect us and protect those we love, so if you were feeling some kind of pain or loss or you were in danger, then maybe it will come out to protect you. That’s how I knew to come to your shift. I was at Ansel’s place because I didn’t want to risk a
I just stand and stare at King’s mother, the luna. With her straight brown hair like her son’s, held up in a bun on top of her head, and beautiful brown eyes, not like her son’s; he inherited his dad’s eyes, she is a stunning lady. She is short, at least shorter than King, and slim. She looks like h
“Umm...Luna Daisy, I’m sorry about all this, it was entirely my fault, and I’m completely sorry. You’re right, King shouldn’t have touched her and especially because of me, and I’m really sorry about today’s turn of events. I won’t waste your time, I’ll leave now, and I’m really sorry again.” I’m
“Penelope called me, and said you’d left school in the middle of your classes and had gone out somewhere with King. I thought she was lying because I know you’re not the type to do that, but then the principal called and said you’d left with King after you two caused a disturbance in school, and the
“Rome, what the hell?!” I whisper yell, “My dad kicked you out, what are you doing sitting on my bed.”“I came to see you, he didn’t let me, so I had to come in another way.” I facepalm, he can’t be serious.“The point of kicking you out was so that you’ll stay out, not sneak in and stay in my room,
“What do you want?”“I need to see, River.”“Are you sure, River wants to see you?”“Why wouldn’t she?”“Because you’re the ass who left her this morning when she was expecting you to stay.”“I can’t always stay.”“Maybe you should work on that before trying to see her again, she deserves more than
“Remus?” I ask.It doesn’t make a move, and I find myself feeling unsure in its presence.“Remus, is that you?” It stands to its impressive seven-foot-something height and comes closer. I’m well aware that I should be running for the hills, screaming all the way, but I feel safe in its presence, so
“You are friends with the moon goddess.” He says, slowly enough that I fear the information has managed to break his brain somehow.“Yes.” I reply slowly, mimicking him, and when he realizes what I’m doing, he rolls his eyes in amusement.“It’s just really…it’s a lot, but I’m following as best as I
“But I’m sure he’s been with other women before he met me, and maybe even after.” Saying that leaves a sour taste in my mouth, but I voice it anyway. “he can’t say he’s sexually frustrated if he’s getting the sexual attention he needs.”Aria shakes her head at me.“I can assure you that the only att
“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
