“For the first time in longer than I care to remember, I wake up early. It’s not the kind of “early” I’ve started to convince myself is good enough—9:00AM instead of 12:00PM, like it’s some grand achievement to defeat the afternoon. It’s not like when I wake up at 5:00AM, anxious and confused, before falling back asleep until 1:00PM, wondering if I was ever awake to begin with. No, today I’m up by 7:00AM, and the ever-present fog in my mind is lessened. That is, until I realize I have no idea what to do with myself at this hour. I don’t know what kind of person is awake at 7:00AM, but it’s not me. The time brings to mind old ladies gardening, good church-going citizens, early morning joggers, and parents with small children. While I am none of those things, renouncing them completely is also a bit much. I am one step away from claiming to be raised and molded by the darkness, and even to myself that sounds both over dramatic and absurd.”

I need to get a fucking grip.”

“I feel like I’m drowning. My skin prickles with sweat, my jaw aches from clenching. Only yesterday, I’d convinced myself that walking from Aurelia was the only way to keep her breathing. Now, the only way to keep her safe is to claim her. I have to pretend she’s mine, have to keep her pressed against me, have to breathe in her scent with every inhale while my wolf claws at my insides, desperate to claim what I’ve been denying us both.”
― Kate King, A Hunger in Every Heart
