Rose and the Graycorts

Friday came too slowly for my taste. I loved spending time at the Braedon’s house, and it had nothing to do with Rose. Nope. I do not have a huge crush on her. Okay, so I’m in love with her. When we were younger, Kimi and I would both sleep in her room, but then puberty hit. Suddenly I was relegated to the couch, and I felt lonely. Still, I get to chill with Rose all weekend, provided the demon M&Ms don’t interfere with their torture devices and clown paint again. Mom was going over last minute details with Kimi, Mina, and I as we were all packing. Sarina was planning on going to the same university as Rayan, and wanted to get familiar with the campus. Gayl University is a small school in Northern Wisconsin that caters to our unique community. “Now, you two need to keep a close eye on Mina,” Mom was

Shit. I ran my hands down my face. My parents were going to kill us. Humans weren’t supposed to know about our kind. I don’t know how the hell we managed to keep it a secret for this long from our best friends, but now it’s all blown up! All because Kimi and I couldn’t keep Rose’s nose out of our business. Granted, she’s my dream girl, and if I had it my way she’d have found out before our wedding, but, still! Shit! “Yes, we are,” Kimi stated, “and we’d appreciate it if you didn’t tell anyone. Kam, go get a blanket for Mina. I’ll need to talk her through changing back, and I don’t think you want to see your baby sister naked.” “She streaks around the house after she bathes,” I grumbled, but did what Kimi suggested. I grabbed Rose&rsq

The weekend practically flew by, and Sunday came all too soon along with Rina and my parents. Since it was a school night, Mr. and Mrs. Braedon all but shoved us out the door and back home. I guess they were sick of their house swarming with teenagers. Besides, I knew my parents wanted a full update on their youngest pup in person. Mina had called them on Saturday to let them know she had shifted, but nothing beats my mother’s live reactions. “I can’t believe my baby is a young woman!” my mother exclaimed during Sunday dinner. “She did really well, for her first shift,” Kimi smiled at Mina.  I smirked at my baby sister. “She only called for you once, Mom.” “

“Whoah,” Kamron stopped in his tracks. “I smell it too,” Kimia said also stalled. “What? What do you smell?” I asked, wondering if it was me, but dismissing it almost immediately because they would have said something in the car. “I think there’s a new student, and that student is like us,” Kamron said with wide eyes. I almost couldn’t contain my excitement. More werewolves at my school! I could just squeal! “You can tell just by the smell?” “Yeah,” Kimia responded, “and he’s not related to us.” &l

Nate is such a flirt! I loved it! Nobody has ever so blatantly flirted with me that way before. He and I had science together with Kimia. I had texted her from homeroom about Kamron’s behavior. She wasn’t surprised. Apparently, Kamron likes to be our favorite guy. Weirdo. She was already sitting in her seat when we arrived. I caught her checking out our new wolf in town, and smirked at her. “Nate, this is Kam’s sister, Kimia. Kimi, this is Nate.” They waved at each other. Nate chose to sit behind me, and I sat next to Kimia. “Rose texted me that you moved here from Boston,” Kimia started the conversation. “Yeah,” Nate raised an eyebrow at me. “Ma wanted to get me away from some family she thought were bad influences
