“Thank you for calling Centerburg Bank and Credit account management. This is Leigh, how may I help you?!” 

For the millionth time since I started this job, I wonder how I got stuck here in my hometown, when all my other high school friends, even my old crush Donovan, managed to go on to do so many more cool things in way better places.

“Hey, Leigh, how was your weekend?” A voice like smoke and velvet flows through the headset that soothes my Lycan ears.

Butterflies and sparks make my cheeks flush.

“Well, they’re thieves, so we can display my phony medallion out to set a trap for them. Even if they get my pendant, we can try to follow them back to where they have Donovan’s.” I put my phone away, finding my calm resolve.


“Mack has a point. There’s a chance they’re trying to steal other Alpha medallions.
