Wait. Does that mean…? “Is my wolf beginning to manifest?” I ask, hope rising in my voice and in my heart. “I don’t know,” he says. “We’ll have to run more tests.” My face must shift, possibly brightening by the hope flooding inside of me, because Steven only looks more and more worried. “It

As I rest in bed in the night, I stare at the ceiling, reflecting over the absolute bullshit that Archer just threw at me. What did he say? To just get out when my contract is up? Forget staying there with them? So much for wanting to protect me. I don’t want to think too much about it. It was
It’s past time I start pulling away from them. But that doesn’t mean I have to be a total douche. I can still give Beau an answer, even if it’s not the fully honest one. “I’m nervous about meeting the undergraduate administration,” I say. “It’s a lot of change, and I’m not even sure they’ll have
