It didn’t matter, anyway. When someone dies in the Lycan camps, their body is thrown into the forest for the animals. There is no going home, even in death. I spread my arms wide, putting on a dazzling smile to match it. “As you can see, I am very much alive.” Nox wasn’t at all amused, which was
After kicking Nox out of my head, and hopefully onto his ass, I managed to sleep the rest of the night without a single dream. Sleeping in for even an hour past nine a.m. was clearly asking too much, because the three of us were all startled awake by a heavy knock on the door. Delphine muttered un
