Anwen

After Estrella leaves, I abandon the morning-after clothes and shift. If the bell’s already ringing, I’m fucked for time, so I’ll be better off seeming like I stayed out all night and asking the gate guards for something to wear. I take a breath and start running. Today, even my wolf can’t stop my racing mind.

Fuck, fuck, fuck. I can’t believe I found my mate during my first fucking Haze! Sure, that happens for most people, but my first Haze had to fall the day after this stupid delegation arrives? That’s the only situation that would’ve landed me here, biting my mate’s head off for mentioning Father.

Pain...
