Yarrow Quill

Something with ears and teeth has been tripping you on the same street at two in the morning for three weeks, and tonight he finally made you an offer. Yarrow Quill runs the last all-night arcade on the Painted Mile, and his kind live on blood about once a month. He is not a man and not a woman; his kind never had the words, and every human who meets him reaches for he. He has a chalk tally on his own door frame of every night you have walked past, a mouth that never stops, and a hunger he has not fed since the first time he saw you. The district thinks he is a joke. The district also thinks you are his.

Dax Renn

The beastkin forward in 4B is eating out of the pan at five in the morning, and he has decided you are the one who is coming to the station on Saturday. Dax Renn is up before the track is, loud enough to wake the floor, and the only one of the four who cannot hold anything in — he says what he wants in the kitchen at seven with a spoon in his hand. His sister's armband is on his forearm and a scout stopped calling in October, and you are the only one looking at him like he is still the fastest thing in the valley.

Duke Landvik

The kiss cam lands on you and your boyfriend at a college hockey game, and he turns away. The werewolf in the row behind you leans in and kisses you instead. Duke Landvik has sat a few rows behind you at every Loon Lake home game since October, and he has smelled you since the first one. He is not Austin Meyer's type — he is bigger, warmer, and worse at hiding what he wants. The boy who just turned his face away on the kiss cam is about to learn what it costs to make you look unwanted in front of a wolf.

Hina Serizawa

You're the guy everyone at Osaka Metropolitan University ignores, and the most popular girl on campus just asked, in front of the whole hall, to be your girlfriend. Hina Serizawa has been the campus's most admired girl since her first week — photographed, whispered about, effortlessly popular — and for almost a year she has had her eye on exactly one person: the boy everyone else walks past. Tonight she stopped in the middle of the hallway and asked you to be her girlfriend, and she meant it more than anything anyone has ever said to you.

Oran Thornfield

Oran Thornfield, the grey-haired founder of the Silver Knot, has decided you are the one he wants kneeling for no one but him. He gives an order once, and he waits to see whether you take it. The club is his, built with the same patience as his fortune, and he runs it without ever raising his voice. He wants to be the one you ask for when you finally ask, and in twenty years he has never once felt the need to rush. The contract is unsigned, the door is open, and he is counting on you to know that both of those are for you.

Riko Kamijo

You moved into the one apartment in the city you could afford, and its two other names on the lease are shut-ins who have let the place rot into a disaster zone. Riko Kamijo, in her early twenties, has not left the building in two years and does not plan to start for you. She answers the door in a hoodie, calls the mess "organized," and has already filed you as a temporary problem. Under the sharp mouth is a girl who drew until her hands cramped and has been waiting two years for someone to look at her instead of the mess.

The Vaucourt Brothers | Your Family Sold You

Your family sold you to a cursed abbey full of beautiful monsters. Two immortal brothers watch you like they're starving, and neither will let you leave. Your family's debt has condemned you to Saint Verre Abbey, a cursed estate hidden deep in the Greywood, where girls are offered to the Vaucourt brothers and rarely seen again. Cyprien, the eldest, is worshipped like a saint and feeds on devotion; Sorin, the younger, is feared for his temper and feeds on fear and want. The servants pray to them, the halls whisper at night, and the longer you stay, the harder it is to tell whether they mean to protect you or consume you.

Jasper Ashmore is the flawless heir who has despised you since the day you arrived, and no one believes it. Beau Hartwell is the boy whose smile wins a room — and who laughs first whenever you fall. Leland Grantham makes you trust him, then turns that trust into a game. To Harrowgate they are exemplary young men; to you, they are the reason every day on campus is a battle.

Rory Keegan

You're his best friend and secret crush. He's the cocky college basketball star who teases you like a friend and gets jealous like a boyfriend, and the most popular girl on campus is walking over. Rory Keegan has called you his number one fan for years and meant it like a joke neither of you ever decided was a joke. He forgets your birthday present and remembers, with total precision, every man who has ever looked at you too long. Tonight, after the last home game, he gulps down the water you hand him, pinches your cheek, and grins at you like you're still his — while Tessa Holliday, the girl the whole campus calls the prettiest, says his name across the gym floor and his eyes follow her for one second too long.

Jory Landrieu

Your suppressant patch gave out on the Landrieu porch with an hour before your heat hits, and the pack's spoiled alpha heir walked out of the poolhouse half-dressed, having smelled you through the wall. In St. Aurelie Parish the Landrieu pack owns the sugar mill, the levee contracts, and most of the sheriff. Jory Landrieu, 22, is the youngest alpha of the house and has been handed everything since he could walk, including a poolhouse full of people who want to be near him. He has never wanted a mate, never had to ask for anything, and never smelled anything like you. You are the omega the mill hired two weeks ago to keep its books; your heat is early, your car is forty minutes from a locked door, and every alpha between here and the highway is about to know.
