I wasn’t the type.

At all.

To love one person went against every cell in my body, every fiber of my being. I was a Siren. I did not love one. I loved all.

And I loved them well.

All sizes.

All shapes.

Every sex.

Every plant.

Animal.

Creation.

I loved everything.

I spread myself around as all good Sirens did, and I was damned good at it. The very thought that I’d be tied to a measly human for eternity had me tempted to write a suicide note and steal Genesis’s little purple feather, draining my own immortality mid-orgasm.

The sound of my door opening and closing softly interrupted my bitter thoughts, and then the scent of cedar and dirt joined me on the floor.

Mason slumped next to me.

Silent.

And then, grabbed the other tennis ball.

And started slamming it against the wall opposite me.

We stayed there for hours.

Neither of us talking.

Until finally, the Wolf opened his mouth. “I can’t do this.”

I knew how it would work, one of us would go first, we’d call one number, the ceremony would take place, we’d be given time and then the next number would be called.

It never happened all at once.

Maybe I was feeling suicidal, because the first words out of my mouth were. “I’ll go first.”
