Page 189 of Wolf Roulette

Stop being surprised by obvious things.

Remind me to stop waking my wolf from naps. She didn’t cope well.

I worked through the next documents.

One was the car registration for Ella F—he’d known my origin was Queens Way before we’d met the second time.

While he didn’t break into my car until the second day—I’d slept in it the first night—hedidwatch me bathe in the river.

I can’t wait to feel her skin against mine.

I shook my head. “You fucking creep.”

But now, it wasn’t creepy at all. Mandy was right. These notes were akin to a love letter.

These boxes were a collection of all Sascha’s thoughts about me.

My heart squeezed to painful levels.

She’s the niece of Hercules Thana and has no idea about supernaturals.

What am I going to do?

He’ll turn her against me. He’s already closing in.

I don’t want this life for her, but I can’t find it in myself to make her leave.

Fly away from this while you can, little bird.

I still remembered how strange his behaviour was back then. Whenever I’d mentioned leaving, he’d interrogate me, then let me go. He’d always seemed to barely hold himself back.

But Sascha had always given me a choice.

The first archive box contained everything up until I’d first realised Sascha wasn’t entirely human. I read a page ripped from a business diary next.

Andie made me come in my pants like a teen.

Afterward, she looked horrified. She lied about being with her ex-boyfriend to escape my company.

I didn’t mean for things to move so fast.

For some reason, she’s scared of what she feels around me.

Soon, I’ll need to explain what’s going on. It’s not fair to keep up this charade. But what if the truth is too much?

Every day I wake up expecting her to be gone.

There was a smaller note from a memo pad right at the bottom of the box.

If there’s one thing I’ll always be grateful to Hercules Thana for, it’s convincing Andie to remain in the valley.

My mate isn’t on my side. She’s afraid of what I am.

But she’s here.

I can still look at her.

Smell her.
