Raff never wanted a lot out of life: his pack, his family, and to be accepted for who he was. Yes, Red Wolves were smaller, skinnier, and weaker than other shifters, but they were also extremely rare. Which is why, when he was banished from his home pack and family, he made a point of staying away from other wolves. But living rough, without any money, is really hard and when Raff risks a trip into San Antonio to find some cash work, he quickly wished he hadn’t. Although, thanks to his dog Killer, he did meet up with the Alpha of the local pack.

When Sy learned that Connor, the young familiar who’d been staying with him, had been captured, he knew immediately that he could find him. After all, what use was it, him being a Necromancer, if he couldn’t locate lost souls? The fact he was hosting Dakar’s parents at the time shouldn’t have made it an issue.

As far as Liam Lamont's concerned, life sucks. His mate disappeared without a backward glance, he spends most of his time drunk and he has the worst case of blue balls in existence.

The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise by the Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. It is sometimes claimed to be one of the first works of modern philosophy, especially modern political philosophy, in which the effective truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal. It was also in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of the time concerning politics and ethics.

Stoicism is tailored for the “good life.” It doesn’t emphasize abstract, philosophical musings, like many other philosophies that might seem irrelevant to day-to-day life. It doesn’t require an education, a stellar IQ, or wealth to begin following its principles. One of its major thinkers was actually a slave, and another was an emperor. Clearly it’s a philosophy as applicable to those at top as to those at the bottom, to those who’ve known the best of life as to those who’ve known the worst, to the rich as to the poor, to the healthy as to the sick - because there are no true obstacles to bettering ourselves.

Paulie’s life changed for the better when he was saved from a fate worse than death one night just before Christmas. His saviors, Wes a wolf shifter and Cass, who was a demon, would only tell him that his innocence had been noted by others, and they’d been sent to save him.

And okay, maybe the storm over Manhattan wasn't strictly necessary, but...who was that man who glowed in the rain? Yep, glowed.

I explained that I felt bad about the relationship ending and that I was mourning. I missed my ex, but I told him that I thought she was a narcissist. The first question the therapist asked: Was the sex good? I found his question interesting because it seems that there is a correlation between great sex and people with mental and/or emotional disorders.
