“I will see them just one more time.” Saying it out loud didn’t seem to be helping. All day her brain had been in overdrive thinking of what she’d seen and what Jake and Zack had told her. Not sure what to think of the fact that creatures from books and fairy tales existed, she’d tried not to think of what other crazy beings that she thought were fictional were real. The thing that she found the hardest to believe and seemed to only be sinking in now that she’d had the day to relax and think it all over was that she’d lost her virginity to bear shifters. She studied her reflection to see if anything had changed. Would people now see her differently? Would they all know that she wasn’t innocent anymore? She’d avoided her family all day. They’d come by but she’d ignored them, locking her doors and putting the chain across them all. Sandy couldn’t handle them today, not after the way they acted that morning. Glancing down at her watch, she saw she had five minutes until the men she couldn’t get out of her head for many reasons arrived.
