Thanks for all your kind words, votes, and reviews. :D I’ve been working on this story a lot lately, trying to finish it so you all can get some closure, lol.

I think I know what’s going to happen—I’m writing the story after all—but when I get to writing the scene, the characters make their own choices and it goes differently than I originally planned.

“But you’re gorgeous,” Alessia said. “Your long, silky, auburn hair. High cheekbones.” Cassidy smiled, her dark brown eyes soft. “Thank you. I don’t think I was back then. Ill-fitting clothes. Ratty hair. I was no prize.” “That’s horrible,” Misty said. “A group of people terrorizing a younger kid,
“He’s possessive,” Lizzy said. “He needs to know you’re his.” “Yeah, that makes sense,” Thea said, smiling. “Kai is competitive. Everything else is easy for him, so he challenges me and brings out my competitive side. He pushes me to be better.” “That’s really sweet,” Alessia said. “Ric, well, he
The triplets took Thea to their newly ready cottage. “This is perfect,” Thea said, smiling. “It’s like our cabin in the woods. Our getaway spot. Even though it’s within walking distance of our home, it feels like a vacation. Like it’s just ours.” “We still want to take you on proper dates and vaca
“Don’t send me to vampires,” Xavier said. “They’re monsters. They’ll turn me into a monster too.” “How can we help you when we don’t know anything about what you are and what you need?” Thea said. “You can sense what I am and what I need better than anyone,” Xavier said. “I bet you know more about
