LiamHow do you make your lover remember you?I shoot a quick glance in Aurora’s direction from the driver’s seat. I’m taking us both to school, and I won’t lie, I’m nervous. This will be her first day on campus since the accident, and if I were her, I wouldn’t go to college just yet. She was just sent home from the hospital - resting for a little while longer would probably be the better idea. But Aurora is the most determined woman I’ve ever met. She would never agree to take it easy at home.“Do you think more monsters will try and come for me after I awaken?” Aurora asks from her seat. She looks absolutely adorable sitting there in a pink hoodie and faded jeans. Her brown hair comes down in curls, and her makeup is on point. She is wearing green contact lenses today, which suits her - even if I prefer her purple eyes.“I think so,” I won’t lie to her and sigh. “Purple-eyed werewolves are very special - you know that. They are descendants of the first wolves. The monsters know that

Phoebe After finishing my first day of being back on campus, I’m sitting on the bleachers surrounded by loud people. I’m about to watch Liam’s football game, and I’m actually pretty excited. I’ve heard he is an amazing quarterback and that the NFL wants to take him in. I can’t wait to see him in action. As I’m sitting there, I feel a tap on my shoulder, and I turn to see Adrian standing behind me. “Can I sit with you?” he asks in his low and dangerous tone. I shiver in my seat. Adrian is beautiful, but, like always, there is a dangerous air around him. He is nothing like the boy I once knew but has turned into something far more predatory. I’m honestly a bit afraid of him, yet I intend to let him sit with me because I want us to talk. Not just here. I fold my arms over my chest. “I don’t know if I should let you sit with me,” I say slowly. My heart is pounding, yet I keep a stern look on my face. Cocking his head to one side, Adrian studies me thoughtfully. Even in a casual t-shir

Phoebe “You’re hurt,” I point out from the passenger seat, which results in Liam gripping the wheel tighter. Hurt ticks against his jaw, and I wait for him to speak. “Of course, I’m hurt,” he glances my way. “You kissed Alpha Adrian when you were my Luna - I still can’t figure out why. Why did you do that, Aurora?” There is no easy way to explain what happened to Liam, and even if I did tell him exactly what happened tonight, I don’t know if he would ever believe me. Adrian spoke to my inner desire, and honestly? I’m not Liam’s Luna - I’m not Aurora, which means I’m technically not his girlfriend. I didn’t choose to be with him, but I also don’t want to hurt him because I’ve come to care about him during our time together. Sigh. Why do things have to be so complicated? “I’m not Aurora,” I say in a low tone. “I’m Phoebe. I used to be the Omega of the Eclipse pack, and Adrian was my first love. I’ve always wanted to kiss him, so all he needed to do was speak to my inner desires and

Phoebe I still can’t believe that I’m on a date with Alpha Adrian - it feels so surreal. The sun is hot on my skin as I ride the jet ski with him. The waves crash against us as we speed along the coastline, and I cling to Adrian’s strong torso, trying to focus on the salty air and the beauty of the scenery. But it’s hard. Even through the fabric of his shirt, I can feel the rippling of his abs beneath my arms. Adrian barely speaks, but when he does, it’s something about how beautiful it is outside. I can’t help but agree and look around at the majestic view, but in my head, all I can think about is how sexy he looks. He’s mysterious and sexy but also reserved. We ride for what feels like forever until we spot a tiny island in the distance. Adrian slows down and navigates us toward it. I can feel my pulse quicken as we get closer. I’m not sure why, but I’m excited to take this break with him. Adrian parks the jetski on the beach and gets off with a smirk. I can’t help but stare at

Phoebe I look at the hydra with wary eyes, unsure if it can be defeated. I haven’t awakened yet, which means I won’t be much help here. Dang. Will Adrian’s powers be enough to kill this monster? He struggled to defeat it when it had one head - now it’s even more powerful. Maybe we should run and call it a day just so that we don’t die? I look at Adrian, blinking when I see him step in front of me as if wishing to protect me with his own life. “You should get away from here,” he says, peering down at me over his shoulder. “Run to the middle of the island. I plan on unleashing my powers, but there is no telling what will happen after I’ve done that. I sometimes lose...control.” My eyes widen. “You what? You can’t do that if you lose control! What does that even mean?!” His lips twitch in amusement. I get the feeling that whatever is going to come out of his mouth will be a lie. He has a sort of mischievous look to him. “It means that I’ve accidentally killed pack members before,” he
