Mind Wide Open

CASTOR O'Derry has always been quiet. With sandy blonde hair, warm brown eyes, and the ability to turn into an oversized wolf he is the epitome of silent but deadly. A lover of music and books, he begins his Junior year as he has ever since kindergarten, understated with intention to blend in, which is just fine with him. Castor is not a fan of the spotlight, and is content to sit back and observe his outgoing twin brother, Pollux, and best friend, Sydney Blake -both more ostentatious than 'Cassy'. But things are about to change drastically for this lone wolf of a boy. As time leads up to the twins' birthday, new and at times life shattering events weave a net of problems he sees as his own to untangle -but not without the help of Katie. -----------------------------------------------KATIE Levvings, now Katie Andrews, left the Ashton Pack, and her mate Nate, a year and a half ago. Then, she was wholly heartbroken, suffering from multiple past injuries, and barely able to function with the weight of her desire and guilt. Now, things are...exactly the same -with one exception, Katie isn't about to go jump off The Golden Gate again. She suffers everyday from the complete despair of walking away from Nate, and wants nothing more to live out her days wreaking the seeds she sowed. Fate seems to have something different in mind, though, because a chance meeting with her former friend, and Ashton Pack member, has her taken straight back to Murphy, Nate, and an impending war.
