probably some
help at getting him some pussy. Jack liked sex, loved the chase of it. “Okay.”
    “You can’t see him for a long time. His father and I
both agree you need to harness your new skills. If you don’t, it could get you
killed.”
    “I could just flunk out of high school.”
    “We’ve got a lot of power, but magic isn’t one of
them. You still need to keep your presence a secret from the human world.”
    “Why don’t you say I’m being homeschooled?”
    “You wanted the same life I had, Marshall. I studied
amongst humans and learned to be with them. I’ve kept us all safe, and I’m
passing that legacy onto you.”
    Marshall nodded, inhaling the fresh tomato soup smell that
came to him. His mother was walking close by.
    The door to the basement opened seconds later.
    The tomato scent intensified, and his stomach growled
with hunger.
    “Hey, honey,” Carla said.
    “Hey, Mom.” He offered a smile. Marshall couldn’t give her anything else. He was
still too exhausted from the transformation into his wolf form.
    “I’m so proud of you.” She crouched down, gripping his
head to lay a kiss against his temple. “Here’s some food. I know, I know, it’s
not your favorite and there’s no chocolate, but trust me when I say, you do not
want chocolate right now. It’ll make you vomit.”
    “I feel great.”
    “You won’t,” Luke said. He glanced over to see his
father smiling back at him. “I remember when I turned for the first time. I
convinced your grandma to give me cake.”
    “What happened?” Marshall asked, dipping his bread
into the soup.
    “I was sick as a dog.”
    Marshall chuckled. He started to cough, and his
stomach turned over. Grabbing his stomach, he took several deep breaths until
the wave of sickness left him.
    “Are you okay, son?”
    “Yeah. Sick as a dog, right?”
    Carla ruffled his head. “You’ll be okay.”
    He truly hoped he would.

    Scarlett stared out at the pool in her backyard. She
wore a pair of shorts and a vest shirt. The idea of going in a bathing suit or,
even worse, a bikini had her sick to her stomach. Summer vacation was going
really well. Her parents had decided to vacation along with her and after their
trip to Italy, they’d come back, and her parents were called away to work. She
didn’t mind. The house was quiet, and she’d spent a lot of time with her nose
in a book.
    The thought of going into the pool in a bathing suit even
home alone, scared her. They had neighbors who could easily see into the back
yard.
    No one cares.
    Dropping her shades down, she made her way outside.
She heard the sound of kids playing in the neighbors’ gardens. Sitting on the
lounge chair, Scarlett opened up the latest paperback book that had come in the
post, and started to read. It was a romance book as they were the only books
she liked.
    Grabbing her bottle of water, she rested the book on
her bent knees as she took a sip of her water. She screwed up the cap and
placed the bottle between her thighs before picking back up the book.
    Scarlett lost herself in the story, wondering if true
love was really that easy to find. She truly doubted men were as charming in
real life as they were in the book. Her own parents didn’t seem to share a lot
of romance. Scrunching her nose, Scarlett jumped as someone shouted.
    “Hey.”
    Dropping the book she looked around her yard to see
she was still alone.
    “Over here.”
    Turning left, she saw a blond guy around her age
hanging by the fence.
    “What’s the matter?” Scarlett asked, expecting
something horrible to happen. He was a good looking guy, but then a lot of
bullies were good looking.
    “My brother booted the ball over the fence. I don’t
suppose you could hand it over.”
    She frowned, looking around until she found a single
white and blue ball in the corner. “Sure.”
    Putting her water and book aside, she made her way
toward the ball. Bending down, she picked the ball up, carrying it over to him.
She
