Wren's POV
I’m still not entirely convinced that any of this is real. Is it possible that Noah won the fight back at her place, and I’ve been in some sort of coma ever since? Or maybe I died way back at my place the night Kat turned me, and everything since then has been… afterlife?
I hoped, of course, that this would happen—that her inner wolf would sense how desperately I loved her and choose me for it. And yet, everything and everyone around us seemed to tell us it wasn’t possible. The vamp-wolf rivalry in Winder; the vamp-wolf rivalries in the world… even Alina herself, the way she kept insisting, at first, that we were supposed to hate each other.
But we don’t. Not even close.
It was incredibly hard not to make love to her, for the record, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep it
