Mein Aufenthalt in Adrians Penthaus mit seinem Wolfs-Rudel ist vor allem eines: nervenaufreibend. Einerseits fühle ich mich wie Pretty Woman, werde auf Händen getragen und von gleich mehreren Typen verehrt – andererseits merke ich, dass mir die Zeit im Nacken steht sowie ein Canicoren-Alpha, der mich eben dort beißen und markieren möchte.
