There were women, too. They were a little more what I expected. Tight jeans. Tank tops without bras. Evening makeup at noon. Jersey hair. The general vibe varied from wouldn’t look out of place on a c...
The window’s filthy. I can’t see anything.How about we try the door? Sam said.She was walking toward it when Hayley grabbed her arm and pointed to a window sign warning that the place was armed with s...
The truth is, if a werewolf behaved like this psychopath it wouldn't be because he was part animal, but because he was still too human. Only humans kill for sport.
The town council met at the school. That meant we knew exactly how to sneak in. There was a window in the guys’ locker room that never closed right. Well, it didn’t after grade eight, when Corey and B...
The show's writers had peppered the piece with words like savage, wild, and animalistic. What bullshit. Show me the animal that kills for the thrill of watching something die. Why does the stereotype...
The fog’s gone in here, I said. It was marine fog. It doesn’t penetrate the forest.Yeah, Corey said. I’m thinking the fog’s not such a problem. It’s very…dark. We don’t know what’s in there.Yeah, we d...
That's the problem dealing with nonwerewolves, I said. They lack that critical 'you are Alpha, you are right' gene.
That if you didnt get your medicine in the next twenty-four hours you'd be dead? i said, Not exactly, but close. you know, the old ' upping the ante with a fatal disease that needs medication twist....
Thank God for your amazing powers of persuasion.Yeah, if only they worked when he was really pissed. And really pissed off.Still, you need to teach me how to do that sometime, so I can use it on dad,...
Switchblade, I said. Nice. I could use one of those.That's not enough? He whispered, pointing at my gun.It does the job, if the job us to kill. I need a backup that's not always so lethal.You could tr...
Sure, you don’t know me that well, but you said it yourself--I get a girl and I back off before I can collect the payoff. I don’t need to dose girls. He stopped, That sounded unbelievably arrogant, di...
Stuffing people into boxes is for those who have issues about their own box.
Something up, and it has nothing to do with why you're bringing gifts. You just do that because you're awesome.Can I get that in writing?Casey's right, Dalton says. Not about the awesome part. That de...
Someone yelled something downstairs, and I said, Come on, suddenly realizing I really didn’t want to be found with Rafe in Daniel’s bedroom, however innocent the explanation.
So, you wanted to get to know me… he said.I laughed, and the fuzzy feeling evaporated. Um, no, I don’t think I ever said Close enough. Here’s your chance. Ask me anything and I’ll reply with relative...
So you rescued us on your own? Corey said.Yes, I said. You were saved by a girl. Horrible, isn’t it?He slid out and looked down at my bare legs. Not just a girl, but a half-naked one. Now that’s hot....
So you don’t trust me: the guy who taught you everything you know. I’m guessing if you have her—he jerked his thumb at Rae—that’s no accident. Luke’s buddies sent her to trap you, and she thought she...
So what are the other routes?His lips curved. Did I say there were any?You implied it.Perhaps. And the next time you wish to leave, you have only to tell me, and I will show you ... and go with you.I'...
