"This is the last time," I say, breaking the kiss, trying to catch my breath. "Are you sure?" he breathes, bringing his kisses down to my neck. "Yes. No.. I don't know," I respond, frustration mixing with the overwhelming sensation my body got with each touch of his skin against mine, "All I know is that this is a mistake." I close my eyes as he brings his lips up to my ear, whispering, "This feels so good you can call it anything you'd like as long as we can have it." ***** Discontent is the only thing the small town Kalena lives in can offer her.

Being in the army was difficult, to begin with. Being an army medic and surgeon was even harder. Being the only human where I am stationed is probably the hardest thing in the world. Most of the people there didn't like me because I was human. The werewolf, vampires, witches, and warlocks didn't take me seriously at all at first. Until they realized I would do anything for them. Humans weren't very happy about the takeover, but when only 30% of the population is actually human you don't get a lot of say. I didn't want a mate for that reason I got rid of my scent, but touch would break that. If my mate touched me even if it was just to brush past me he would notice. I was crossing my fingers that I didn't have a mate, unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Highest Rank: #2 in Werewolf 12/23/17
