The incessant buzzing of my phone’s alarm is drowned out by the pounding

inside my head—a lingering reminder of last night’s… festivities.

Why did I think that having one more whiskey was a good idea? I was already

pretty drunk last night by the time I got home, but I couldn’t stop thinking about S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Abby.

In a feeble attempt to drown those thoughts out and get some sleep, I guess I

thought one more drink was the way to go. I still remember raiding the minibar in

my apartment and pouring a rather tall glass of whiskey—no ice—which I

proceeded to knock back while giving half of my attention to a crappy movie I

found on N*****x.

Oh, how I wish I didn’t drink that whiskey. I feel like shit, and I’m not even fully

awake yet.

When I finally crack open my eyes, the red digits of the bedside clock glare back

at me: 7:15 a.m.

“Shit,” I groan, rubbing my eyes and yawning. “I’m never drinking again.”

My wolf grumbles inside of me, equally as perturbed by my laziness. “You

always say that, and then a week from now, you’ll be saying that a ‘little whiskey

never hurt anyb*dy.’”

I roll my eyes, running a hand through my unkempt hair. “Thanks, Captain

Obvious. I swear, it’s like drinking a sleeping pill or something. I can never get

up early enough when I drink, and yet I also feel like I didn’t sleep a wink.”

My wolf chuckles softly. “Maybe so, but you should get up. You might want to

check on Abby before the cook-off.”

Abby. Just the mere mention of her name sends a weird tingle down my spine.

Memories of last night come flooding back in. She looked so beautiful standing

next to me in the alley, leaning against the brick wall, her blonde hair awash like

the sunset in the light of the streetlamps.

I wanted to k*ss her so badly, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Not after what

happened last time, and especially not when she has this competition to worry

about today.

“Yeah,” I say, although hesitantly. “But I don’t think it’s a good idea to bug her

right now. She’s probably already at the studio, caught up in a whirlwind of

preparations for the competition. I’ll see her later while I’m watching the

competition from the audience.”

Ah, the audience. I wanted to give Abby a little surprise, so I bought a front-row

ticket. Actually, I bought tickets for everyb*dy. I figure she will be looking for a

familiar face when she steps off the stage, crystal trophy in hand—because

she’ll be winning first place, I’m sure of it.

“Yeah, well, it wouldn’t hurt to send a text,” my wolf says. “Something nice to

wish her luck before the competition. Then you can focus on seeing her in

person at the event. It’s a nice gesture, and she might appreciate it. Especially

since you’re leaving soon…”

I consider my wolf’s words, agreeing inwardly. I am going to be leaving soon, so

leaving a good impression before I go might be a good move. Who knows,

maybe I can convince her to come back with me. But I’m not holding my breath.

“Just think of it this way,” my wolf continues, “if you show your support today,

she’ll be so grateful for you. And maybe, after the cook-off…”

“Okay, okay, I get it,” I growl, pushing my fists lightly into my eyes. “Fine, I’ll text

her.”

My wolf bristles with excitement. “Good.”

Sighing, I roll over and reach for my phone
