| SAMPLE ONLY; READ IT NOW ON GALATEA | ❝He's the boy she left behind. She's the girl he let go.❞ ➵ Before she became one of music's biggest up-and-coming artists, Evelyn "Evie" Chase was a nobody at the bottom of the Roosevelt High School food chain with only a handful of friends. Her best friend (and longtime crush)--popular jock, Adam Fields--was her polar opposite, but despite their differences, their bond was as strong as they come. That is, until one day-- one mistake--changed the course of their friendship forever, and the once inseparable duo never spoke again. Fast forward three years, and everything's changed. Evie has the world at her feet, now out in L.A. living her dream as a seventeen-year-old popstar-- leaving the town, the boy who broke her heart, and those who'd made high school unbearable behind. Meanwhile, Adam--at Roosevelt finishing off senior year and still the school (and town's) beloved "golden boy"--is trying his hardest to let go of the past and the girl he let get away. And it's going well, the two of them living their separate lives. Until Evie's back. Suddenly, seventeen and senior year just got a lot more interesting.

Even though my brain was screaming at me to stop, that this wasn’t worth losing my spot as alpha, my wolf danced for joy and told it to shut up. And as my lips collided with my Mate’s, for once, my brain listened. My fingers tangled into his hair, and he pulled my hips into his. As I broke the kiss for air, his lips didn’t stop moving down my neck, to my collar bone, as my hands travelled down his chest, feeling his defined abs. Right then, I couldn’t think about the consequences of this, this was right. His body fit perfectly around mine, and I felt his member press into my pelvis. Let me tell you, it did feel good.
