“He was shaking and then sat down and started pounding the bottle of scotch he brought for you,” Mason told me. “I didn’t know what to do or if I should warn you not to come home.”

“You’re fine, and I’m sorry my shit is leaking over.” I gave him a soft kiss and then went to handle the bear I was starting to hate.

Tears were running down Dylan’s cheeks as he looked up at me. “Why him? Why couldn’t you love me like that? Why couldn’t you love me like I wanted?”

I lost any soft feelings at seeing him cry when he said it all like that. “From the moment we met I told you andkept telling youthat I couldn’t be what you wanted.Youkept promising that you’d make it work, be flexible, and be whatI needed. So which of us was really the fucking liar, Dylan?”

He turned his head like I’d slapped him.

“It’s not about whether I could love you or not. It’s thatyour lovewasn’t healthy for me. Why can’t you get that? Your idea of love isn’t what I want, isn’t what I need. So stop making me the villain, the liar—the problem. It’s not about my being emotionally stunted or a succubus or never having a relationship before. It’syou. You were the piece of the puzzle that didn’t fit.”

Tears flowed freely, and he used the back of his arm to wipe them.

“I told you more than you ever told me and let you in more. So stop making this my fault. We didn’t work. Just because you want something doesn’t mean I have to give it to you.” I let out a slow breath. “I don’t want your idea of love. It hurt me and I wasn’t happy. I don’t know how else to say it so you get it. Just please finally hear me because I don’t want to hate you because you can’t accept I couldn’t love you.”

There was nothing left to say, so I walked back inside and locked the door behind me, not caring if he sat there forever or drank himself unconscious. I was done with being the problem.

And I wasn’t going to keep someone in my life who kept putting me in that role when so many others saw me as the solution to what was wrong around us.

Accidentally Wolf: Seraphine Thomas 1

Gives New Meaning To Workplace Injury

Special Agent in Charge, Seraphine Thomas, lives for her job at the FBI. One of the youngest female agents with her own team, she thrives in undercover work to make the city she loves safer. But Sera’s on-track life is thrown into chaos when she’s attacked during a bust gone bad and is left figuring out what it means to be a werewolf.

Right away, she learns that she’s more powerful and able to do things that she shouldn’t be able to do so quickly after her transition. The rules of her old life don’t seem to apply to much now that she’s a shifter, and knowing who she can trust is even more complicated.

When she’s transferred to a special branch of the FBI made up of paranormals policing others of their kind and given a promotion, things start looking up—until her abnormal level of power creates a list of enemies for her before she’s even learned who her allies are.

Upended Life: Artemis University 1

My name is Tamsin Vale and my life is about to get real… Really complicated and ridiculously dangerous. Which is almost funny given at nineteen I already know too much of the darkness of the world and people, the secrets they keep.

Or so I thought.

Turns out those quirky abilities I’ve been keeping secret expose me to a world I didn’t know existed. Sure, I knew I wasn’t human—but how exactly do I find out more without ending up in the wrong hands?

And I’m not so sure I’m in the right hands now given some of the reactions to finding me. They say I’m the last fairy. I’m not sure I should trust them when their thoughts are mostly of power and how to use me.

But I’m also not sure I have much of a choice. My powers are dangerous and I don’t know how to use them. They promise to teach me what I need to know and give me a chance at something I’ve never had before.

A normal life. I don’t think anything about Artemis University and those who attend is normal, but it’s still better than the life I’ve been living if they keep half their promises.
