<blockquote>Cool was the breeze in the evening, along the darkened street. The city was retiring, closing shutters at every suite.

<blockquote>It wasn't right for a girl to have a wolf, they said, not for a normal girl. There was something queer about a girl with a wolf, not quite natural. Certainly it wouldn't do at all for a girl to be seen in society with a wolf at her side, like some kind of heathen foreigner, or worse—an American! In smaller towns, they might put down a girl's wolf the very day of imprinting, before the bond had a chance to settle. A few days of sickness, fever and an upset stomach, and she'd be all right. She wouldn't even remember, a girl that age. That was what they said. (Rebecca and psychic wolves. Warning: contains a mostly off-screen animal death, for those sensitive to that.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>There is no simple word like beloved for what he feels for Tybalt's face, that tightening in his chest of mingled hatred and reluctant fondness, the rush of excitement whenever they cross blades or words. Mercutio has always won, before, the better fighter on both battlefields. Mercutio opens his eyes after the duel.</blockquote> ➤ Death creeping on one of my faves!
