Emris dropped me off at the gate of the Lion Pride pack house and I got in. I already texted Tiffany that I took a ride home so they don’t worry about me. No now I’m in bed, holding my pillow, trying to catch my breath after that experience.
I shut my eyes in regret.
I feel horrible. I wanted to feel him release in me. I wanted to hear those final sounds he makes but I also wanted to make something clear
I turn on my bed and stare at the ceiling.
It’s hard being like this.
I’m not a manipulative person like Emris is. It’s hard for me to pretend I don’t want something when I actually want it. It’s hard to use him to teach Elena a lesson. But a part of me…a very dark, very dangerous part of me that I try not to talk about wants that bond between him and Elena to break.
I try to sleep but every time I turn, I can feel Emris’s hands on my hips. On my ass. My face stuck in the pillow while he thrusts into me. Even though he sated me tonight, I still find myself feeling frustrated. Turning back and forth on the pillows until I get up and drink a full glass of wine. It eventually puts me to sleep.

Slowly Slade notices me coming and stops speaking.
“You’re leaving?”
Wow. This is the first time he’s spoken to me since our little fight. Is he about to tell me not to go?
“Yeah.” I look away from him to the stern elders staring back at me. “What happ-
“Nothing.” Slade cuts me off. Then looks back at the rest. “We should talk in my office.”
He starts to say more but my Aunt Allison stops on her way out and gives me a kiss on my forehead. I watch them walk aw Tiffany stumbles out in her pajamas, looking like death warmed over. Her hair is a bird’s nest on top of her head, face all scrunched up like she’s fighting for her life. Morning after club – drinking all night whatever THIS is
