Love Literally Bites – Corina Bair

He’s actually pretty nice, and even helped me with my shifting,” I say, not surprised at the shocked silence that follows. I sneak a look at Zuri, then see Reverie hovering in the air next to my temple. I look at her from the corner of my eye as she flits around my head, poking at my skull. “What are you doing?” I ask, leaning away from Rev’s strange prodding. “Checking for a head injury.” Zuri scoffs, “Good call.” “I’m serious!

Or be in the right mood?” They both stare at me blankly and I throw up my hands. “I don’t know, okay? My inner animal has an attitude or something.” I glower as my lips pull down. “Well, that’s okay,” Reverie backpedals, “I’m sure if you keep practicing it’ll get easier.”

“Yeah.
