“I think you should do it, Ary”
February “Ary” Felina looked over at Melissa and rolled her eyes “Of course you do It isn’t like it’ll be you that’s putting yourself out there for rejection” Ary took a long s of her Sex on the Beach and glared at Melissa and Candace
“Why do you think you’ll get rejected?” Candace asked right before she sucked her piña colada through the bright-pink straw
“Because that asshole Frank told her she wasn’t any good, which, I’ll add, I would have been happy to kick him in the balls for that one” Melissa didn’t mince her words, and Ary loved that about her “Besides, what do you expect from a jackal shifter? Jackals are always assholes if you askOld Fuck?”
How could any of theet? Usually, Melissa only dated wolf shifters, but she’d given Chuck, the douchebag, a chance, which only ended up in hi with her cousin behind her back at her sister’s wedding
It was true though Ary stayed in the verbally abusive relationship with Frank—the jackass jackal, according to Melissa—for a year too long Everything started out great, but of course nothing in her life could go the way she wanted it
First, there had been the subtle hints she should watch her portions at dinner, and then it escalated to Frank “jokingly” calling her plain and homely in front of his friends So what if she was Plain Jane all the way? She loved her body and looks, and the person she spent her life ould love them as well That she had no doubt about
Maybe she should have just stayed with her own kind, or even with a human They eaker than even her, a fe with shifters some kind of kinky oddity
But to be honest, y and subuy who could take control, but apparently she looked in the wrong place where jackals were concerned
This was her thirtieth birthday, after all, and Ary had grown comfortable with the way she looked She loved every aspect of herself, and it was a da shifter hadn’t seen the beauty in that
So, she called it quits with Frank, especially when he continued to make cohed like they were high on nitrous oxide She’d broken up with hio, and now she was ready to put his sorry ass behind her and move on
