Add to that, he’s got a knack for being in precisely the wrong place at the wrong time, and I was thrilled to march away from our angry skirmish and never see the bastard with the piercing blue eyes, ever again.

I've barely made it off the bus when I lock eyes with the hottest wolf I've ever seen, and he reeks of power.
