I've always kept emotions out of the job, but Blake makes that impossible. When a rogue pack of shifters attacks, it's clear they want something from him.

My First Communal Shower

Finn Meller

When I walked into the newly reconstructed gym, I expected an hour of straightforward exercise—a quick workout to make up for a lazy session earlier that week. The shiny equipment gleamed under the bright lights, promising efficiency. I stuck to what I knew: bicep curls and tricep dips, not venturing into the rest of the mysterious, state-of-the-art machines right away. 
But when it was time to shower, it was a completely different story. I tried the individual shower but the water was freezing cold, I was about to leave stinky as I noticed the big communal shower where men didn't seem to rush. I was nervous at first, but after what I experienced there... I don't think I'll ever use the shower cabin ever again.
