Never waste time on bad books. There were too many amazing stories out there waiting to be discovered.
“One day, you’ll look rattled again,” Jaxson said, staring me down. “One day, I’ll figure out your weakness, and when I do, you’ll fucking belong to me. Like fate always intended.”
Jaxson cleared his throat. “Solstice shifts are exclusive for alphas and betas only.” Dannie wrinkled her nose at him. “Did I ask for your input? Did I even look in the direction of your pathetic face?”
“You had everything in your hands, pup,” she said softly, “and you threw it away through pride and fear. You’ve lost what you could have had, and when our girl comes into her own, she’s going to rip your face off. I, for one, can’t wait to see that.”

“You’re late,” he said. How two words could sound so ominous, I had no idea. “We don’t like to be kept waiting.” I pasted on my broadest smile, praying the red lipstick wasn’t smeared on my teeth. “A woman is never late, Shadow. We arrive precisely when we mean to.”
