*Rose* “I’m going to die!” I scream as Tristan and Mark lift me in their human forms to carry me up the stairs. Mark has my upper body, and Tristan has my lower body, and I feel like my middle is going to collapse on me as they hoist me up. I want to shout at Reece to support me there, but I don’t
*Eli*‘Eli, you fucking asshole! Where are you?!’The voice comes screaming into my mind, and instantly, my heart races, and my wolf inside howls in pure joy. It takes a minute for me to process it, though. Did Rose just call me an asshole?‘Oh, my Goddess,’ I say back. ‘Where are you, baby? Are you
