Once revealed, they will send everyone involved in a whirling thunderstorm. ~~~ *Slow starting, and isn't the average happy-go-lucky werewolf story. *Vulgar Language. *abuse and possible triggers. *Gore and violence. ~~~ “You aim to tell me that you are the reason she is in the position right now?” Tristen points at Emma, howling in rage, “you marked that over your actual mate? What type of f*****g werewolf are you?” “You don’t understand, I-” Flynn begins, but is cut off yet again by Tristen. “I don’t give a damn about anything you have to say! You are the lowest piece of trash I have ever seen in my life, how could you do this to her?” Sitting back down and holding her close Tristen continues, “I’m taking her with me because she has a second chance and I’m going to give her just that. At least one of us will appreciate the f*****g ground she walks on.” Copyright © 2020 by Bella-Anne !!Will be editing slowly!!
