“At best?”“Yeah, you heard me.”“Um, okay, then what’s the worst that could happen?” Surely, nothing can be worse than death.“They’ll make sure I never make it back.” He notices the confused look on my face. “Imagine my body is here, my soul is here, but I’m not here. It’s like I’m dead without tr
I’m sorry, Remy, I didn’t mean that, I…There’s no response and no sign of her presence anywhere.I continue the rest of my run deeply disturbed, on edge, and without any sign of my wolf. Instead of going back to the house, I go towards my river. Upon getting there, I sit at the riverbank and since
“I don’t feel like a gun.”“Yeah, you don’t look like a gun girl with all that white hair,” he teases, and I laugh.“What about a bow and arrows?” he shakes his head immediately.“No, that’s too damn cliché and obvious. You can’t exactly hide a bow and arrow, we need something small, deadly, and…” I
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

“Why are you still standing there? Get in bed.” Rome says as he gets comfortable on the bed. Honestly, I’m mentally listing all the things that could go wrong.“River?”“Hm?”“I’ve had a long day, please get in bed, don’t make me beg.” I regard him, he looks like he’s gonna fall asleep at any second
“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
