Cursed: The Complete Series, #1-3 (Cursed, #1-3)

“You’re stronger than me. That’s hard for a father to say, trust me. But you are. I know you’ll get through everything that’s upsetting you.

I let her go and watched her walk away… again.

Even if the curse was gone, even if she was done with me, my wolf still saw her as mate. I still saw her as the girl I wanted to be with more than anything.

I still had the chance to make things right. If she needed time, I would wait.

I had always been protective of my little sister, but she was right: I had never treated her like an equal. She equalled me as wolf.

I had fallen for Nathan, no matter what they said about curses breaking, and I couldn’t switch off the feelings.

Looking at her felt like home.

I’ll always be darker than you like, but it’s important that you don’t think of me like a monster, like someone who could hurt you because I… I could never… Perdita, I’m still the same person who saw you for the first time in a classroom. I’m still the same person who made you mad, who you danced with, who you kissed. The curse ending hasn’t changed any of that for me.”

The single greatest thing about having a werewolf for a boyfriend was how obedient mischievous puppies were around him.
