“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
PART ONEHead down, shoulders slouched. Head down, shoulders slouched. I repeat the mantra as I make my way across the halls. Monday mornings can always determine how the rest of the week goes. You either go unnoticed and have a good week, or you attract unnecessary attention and have a horrible w
You know what it’s like when you cause trouble with your friends, and right when you’re about to get punished, your friend somehow disappears or gets their ass saved by some mystery magic? Well, Aria just pulled that magicky shit on me right now and I want to cuss her out to the moon and back! I’m
King seems to notice the change in my mood as he leads me towards the dining table, sits me down, and places the plate of steaming hot and no doubt delicious lasagna before me and then he tops it up with a glass of milk. My stomach screams at me as I take my time to take the food in, and then I dig
I wake up to the sound of my door unlocking and being pushed open. I instantly sit up and realize the sun is setting, but I don’t dwell on it as my eyes train on the door as it opens to reveal Richfield walking in with a tray holding what I presume to be food. I watch as he balances the tray on one
KING This is bad, This is very bad, bad for me and worse for Mars. It doesn’t matter than we had no hand in becoming mates, the problem is that we are mates and no one is going to accept that, not now and not ever. Even though I’ve told her that we shouldn’t fret about it, I can’t stop fretting. T
“You’re damn right I am, now what the fuck were you trying to do to my mate?!” King’s angry words have me in equal states of panic and relief because clearly, these barbaric people won’t hurt me now that he’s here and has claimed me as his mate, but also, he has claimed me as his mate, in front of
“I don’t know, I’m just as confused as you.” My eyes on his knees. He bends down to my level until he’s crouching before me and we’re eye to eye. “Mars, I don’t believe you don’t have a wolf, because I saw your reaction when I got into the woods. If you were a human, you wouldn’t have known like y
“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
