“Like I said at the restaurant, we have nothing to talk about. Why are you here? I was getting ready for bed.” “You don’t understand, but you’re playing a dangerous game,” he said, ignoring me. “What the hell are you talking about? What? Ignoring you? Is the big bad baseball player gonna get pissed? Please…

EIGHT STEFF When I woke on Friday morning, my entire body ached. It felt like jagged glass had replaced the marrow in my bones. Getting out of bed and into the shower had me gritting my teeth and groaning. After a hot shower, the pain subsided a little. I knew exactly what was happening. The…

My brother and his other shifter friends teased and bullied me. It was the only way he could have any power over me. It was always name-calling and embarrassing stuff. He knew I was stronger. One day, when I was twelve, he decided to try to do more than just torment me. He and five…
