Never Keep (Sins of the Zodiac, #1)

by Caroline Peckham

Fuck fate, I make my own tonight.

“Perhaps it’s been confirmed that her mother really did fuck a wild Wolf thinking it was her father while they were running beneath the moon in shifted form,” Dalia pondered, not bothering to lower her voice. “Excuse me?” Cassandra snarled, her fingers strangling her fork as she glared around at us. “Everyone says your mother fucked. A. Wolf,” Dalia said more loudly this time, drawing focus from around the room. “As in an actual wolf, not a shifter. She just went full bestiality one night and then claimed she’d thought it was your dad after the rest of the pack saw her.” Cassandra’s mouth opened and closed multiple times while her face turned a deep red. “There is no such rumour about my mother,” she snarled in a low tone. Dalia just shrugged and speared a potato onto her fork, shoving the whole thing into her mouth and chewing obnoxiously. “There isn’t!” Cassandra insisted, louder this time while several others sniggered and a few of her friends exchanged looks which said they weren’t sure what to believe. I hid my laughter in a bite of my own food. “Well,” Dalia muttered in a voice just for me and Moraine. “There is now.” “You’re evil,” Moraine said, clearly delighted. “I try,” Dalia agreed.
