A shy but very wolfish boy in a hat. B. A bandage-wearing boy who believes only you understand him, that he has no secrets from you (soulmates who love and fight each other). C.

E. I haven't figured out what to do with 5t5, the slime king, and the others yet. Please leave lots of suggestions in the comments, hahaha. F. Finally, a gentle older brother who is a stand-in for an early-departed white moonlight (not really). 3. Please, please take a look at my author page and bookmark me.
