Ashford touched his forehead. Luna looked horrified to find the mark on Ashford's forehead. She rushed over to him, grabbed him by the neck, and pulled him down to her height. He yelped as he glanced at her. She examined the mark on his forehead and stroked it."You kissed the mark, and now you're carrying it," Luna muttered. "You're carrying it for me."Ashford flashed her a bright smile. "At least the mark is off your forehead for a while, and you wouldn't have to bother covering your pretty forehead."He didn't care that the mark was on his forehead; after all, it was just a mark and nothing more."You can't be calm, and you also can't be seen with the mark."Ashford pouted. "I can cover it like you do."She shook her head. "No, I have to get it back."The mark, which was glowing blue before, turned red. Luna backed away from him swiftly, her hand still holding him down. "It's glowing red now."Ashford didn't seem to care. "It doesn't matter as long as I don't feel any pain. It's al

"What's the shower boy's name?" Ashford asked. Phoebe smiled as she remembered his name. "Griffin, Griffin Theodore.""Griffin sounds like a great name. I guess he is handsome." Luna muttered, looking directly at Phoebe.Phoebe shook her head. "Yes, he is." Her reaction changed when she glanced at Luna. "His handsomeness doesn't mean I like him; you know who I like."Ashford raised a brow. "Trevor? You like Trevor?"Phoebe frowned at Luna. "You told him? I can't believe this."Luna shook her head and raised her hand in defense. She hadn't told Ashford anything; he probably noticed when he saw Trevor and Phoebe."It's so obvious." Ashford shrugged. "The way you act around him shows it, and I am sure Trevor knows you have a huge crush on him. I don't think it has developed into love yet."Luna sighed. "Thank goodness you answered for me; I was about to panic now.""Sorry." Phoebe muttered. "You were the only one I told, so I thought you told him."Luna smiled at Phoebe. "He might be clo

As soon as the words left her lips, Ashford shook his head in disappointment. Neon looked like he had seen a ghost—that Phoebe had just rejected her mate for Trevor.Luna couldn't look away, no matter how she tried, so she focused on getting her dress away from where it was stuck. But Griffin's growl brought her back."No way!" Griffin yelled. "You can't reject me."Phoebe was glancing at him. "I just did; now can you release my friends and me?""Not before this." Griffin muttered. "I, Griffin Theodore, reject your rejection."Phoebe scowled at him. "You can't; you can't do this to me. I don't want to be with you."He bent down to her height. "We are fated, Phoebe, and I accept to be your mate. Even though you stalked me when we first met,"Well, you embarrassed me in return." Phoebe yelled. "You took revenge, and now that I find out we are mated, I don't want to be your mate."Griffin frowned at the harsh word but chose to ignore it. "You said you want a book from my library?"With gr

Phoebe bent over to the wolf and tried to stroke it, but it moved away from her touch. She had only told Griffin that she was in love with someone else, and the person wasn't him. She also told him that she had wanted to reject him because of the same person, and she would never let go of him.Griffin approached her, acting on impulse to be with him. She had thrown the wolfbane grass at him; the poison had stuck to his hand and made him transform into a wolf.He was in so much pain, and he couldn't let the one who had hurt him touch him. Regret washed through Phoebe's eyes and began to fill up. She had to do something to stop the pain, so she threw herself at the wolf and buried her head in the fur."Griffin, I am right here. Nothing would happen to you, and I am sorry for doing that to you. I didn't mean it; I was just paranoid."Griffin's wolf howled and tried to run away from her. Phoebe pulled the wolf arm and glanced at it; she hurried over to his table and began searching for a k

"I have to heal first." Adrian muttered as soon as Bartram shut the door."What are all those things?" Bartram asked, his frustration mounting.Adrian took his seat on the couch and glanced at his chest. There was a huge scar on his chest."You're injured…""That doesn't matter." Adrian cut him off. "Luna is also injured."Bartram's eyes widened in horror. "She gets all the injuries you have."Adrian nodded. "Of course, she is my mate.""You have to heal as fast as you can.''Bartram walked towards the window, slowly shifted the curtains, and peeked out. They had instructed everyone to stay indoors and not go out. Only Adrian had left to save some pups who had hid when the creatures had arrived. Some werewolves were dead, and the creatures were still roaming around. It wouldn't be long before they began breaking into houses."Have you told Luna not to come home? Wherever she is with Phoebe, it is safe for them." Adrian inquired.Bartram pushed back the curtains and turned his back to l
