Chapter: BONUS CHAPTERThe persistent beeping sounds beside me filled the air as I slowly began to wake up. I blinked my eyes open, revealing a sterile setting with white walls. As the beeping grew more intense, I tried to sit up, only to be greeted by a searing pain in my abdomen that elicited an involuntary groan.So I decided to remain still, scanning the room with my eyes. There, I saw Shane peacefully asleep in Sophia's embrace on a large couch at the foot of my bed. Meanwhile, Austin appeared uncomfortable, dozing off in a chair nearby. Fighting through the discomfort, I managed to croak, "Hey, Austin... What happened?" Since he was the lightest sleeper, I hoped to catch his attention first.I wondered where I was as I tried to wake up Austin, who seemed fast asleep. My eyes searched the room for clues, and when my mind became clearer, I realized I was in a hospital. But the question remained: why was I here?I called out for Sophia, and her eyes opened instantly, locking onto me. Tears welled up as

Chapter: BOOK 2: RETRIBUTIONAn hour ago.."Hello little mouse, it was so easy to get you up here, all I had to do was take that morons phone and text you, and you came running to him without any questions asked," Dylan said, his breath fanning my neck as I attempted to remain still so he wouldn't notice how afraid I was."Where is Leo? If you don't let me go, I'm going to scream bloody murder," I managed to say, but my trembling voice betrayed me, showing my fear."Oh, don't worry about him, little mouse; after all, when his old friend is finished with him, your boyfriend will wish he hadn't crossed me," Dylan said, and I could tell he was smiling."What are you talking about? You sick fuck, where is Leo?" I cursed, causing his hold on my shoulders to tighten."If he ignored you like everyone else and minded his own fucking business maybe you wouldn't have even thought of fighting back then and now" "Shut up! You're sick, you made my life miserable" "Ever since he arrived, you have been acting like you own the

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN: LEOThe semester was finally over, and I couldn't wait for the holidays, so I could spend time with Athena and the guys at her uncle's ski resort in Mount Everett, where we will be having the time of our lives. But I think her uncle had ulterior motives when he invited us to spend the holiday there because Athena told us he wanted to meet with Austin, Shane, and me to find out who she has been hanging out with. I don't blame him; Athena was wonderfully kind and easy to take advantage of; she sees the good in everyone even if there isn't. The year wasn't perfect, but it provided me with the opportunity to meet Athena, Sophia, and Austin, the most important people in my life after Shane.They have made my life more enjoyable than it was when we lived in New York. Shane is always cheerful when they are around, which makes me glad because he was a totally different kid when my parents were still alive, sad, and closed off from everyone but me.With Athena and his overprotective elder broth

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX: ATHENAIt's surprising that it's already the end of the school year, and I've done so many things in the last few months that I'm proud of that I've done my entire life. I stood up to my bullies and am now secure in my own skin, no longer frightened to go around school.All of this was made possible by the new additions to my small family; I don't think I would have had the confidence to do all of this without them, they were my knights in shining armor and I love them to the moon and backAs usual, the end-of-the-year basketball game was held in Anwood, so I dressed up in the team colours of blue and black because Leo was playing today, and I wanted to support him in some way.It was his first official game in Riverview, and I wanted it to go well, so I was hoping they would win because It's a very important game of his high school basketball career and given how nervous he's been about it, I wanted to show him that I cared."You guys act like you'd die if you didn't see each other every day

"Go on, no one is going to hear you, Austin isn't around and lover boy is a little busy with James and Tom, so it's just you and me, little mouse" Dylan said, taking small steps towards me, I took steps backwards till my back met the wall, then he caged me with his hands when I tried to run, "Get away from me, you sick bastard," I yelled, my gaze darting around the room, trying to find a way out of here."Has lover boy fucked you yet? I'm sure he has, I know I would have; I told you at the beginning of the year that you were mine, but you still let that idiot touch you, and that pisses me off" Dylan said, anger evident in his tone as he stared at me."Fuck you!""I'm upset little mouse and you won't like me when I'm mad,." Dylan murmured his hands slid to my neck, his enraged gaze never leaving mine as he wrapped his hands securely around my neck squeezing tightly. I struggled against him, but

Stephen yelled over the chaos."Apparently not," Lucian muttered, stopping to ripped the head off a zombie that had approached him."Serena needs to get rid of Elena soon, because the lycans her getting closer," Adam said as she threw another fireball at a zombie.A howl came from a distance as the group turned back to see a group of lycan approaching them"Fuck! they found us!"

Chapter: CHAPTER HUNDRED-NINETEEN After their meeting was over Adrian and Serena went to their room after eating dinner. Once they were in their room Serena wrapped her hands around Adrian placing a quick peck on his lips Then He bent down, his lips against her cheek, brushing it lightly—and still that light touch sent shivers through her nerves, shivers that made her whole body tremble. "Serena, I want you" Adrian whispered. When she still said nothing, he brushed his mouth against the hollow of her temple. He traced the line of her cheekbone, his lips were against hers. "Make love to me Adrian, I want you too" she said before reaching up to wrap her hands around his neck and pulling him down so their lips could meet. He kissed her gently, carefully, but it wasn’t gentleness she wanted, not now, not after all this time, and she knotted her fists in his shirt, pulling him harder against her. He groaned softly, low in his throat, and then his arms circled her, gathering her against him as he deepened the kiss, as the

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY SIX: ATHENA After a moment of silence, Silas spoke. "I just want to get to know him before it’s too late. I won’t justify my actions by saying I really didn’t know he existed because his mother never told me about him," he answered, a small smile forming on his face."What do you mean by 'before it’s too late?'" I asked, curious about his statement. Was something wrong? Was he leaving?"I have cancer, and I'm not responding to treatment. Like I said, I wasn't a good man, and it cost me everything, so I’m using the little time I have left to atone for my sins," Silas said, a pained smile tugging at his lips as the table fell silent again."I'm sorry you're sick, but if you hurt that boy again, the cancer won’t be what kills you—I will," Sophia threatened, and it was clear she meant what she had just said."I will keep that in mind, but I swear on my life, I won’t hurt Austin on purpose. I’ll do my best to be there for him and for all of you because he sees you as his family, which means you’re my

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE: ATHENALisa's father glared at Austin and Silas before snapping his gaze to his daughter and her friend. "We're leaving. Now. Don't question me, young lady!" His voice left no room for argument, though beneath the sharpness, there was a flicker of fear—Silas’s threat to report him as a crooked cop had clearly made him fear for his life.Lisa stared at him in disbelief. "Dad, you can't be serious! We can't just walk away. I'll be the laughingstock at school if people find out I ran from this freak of nature. You don't need to be scared of them. I’m sure he's just bluffing," she spat, her words dripping with disdain.Silas's frown deepened as he turned toward her, his eyes hardening. "You might be their age, but you're nothing like the kids standing beside me. You and every other kid here are nothing but demons, thriving on making life hell for kids like Austin and Athena. I promise, whatever you throw at them, I’ll give it right back—just give me a reason.""You can't threaten our kids. That'

"Well done, the bitch deserved it.""You filthy whore! How dare you hit me!" Lisa's voice cracked as she screeched, her eyes burning with fury as they locked onto mine."I did it because I can, and if you don't get out of my face, I'll do it again," I said with a satisfied grin spreading across my face. Her anger shifted to shock as she stared at me. Does this dumb bitch think I'm bluffing? "Five, four, three—by the time I finish counting, if you're still here, I will slap you again, Lisa.""You wouldn't dare. My father's a policeman; he'll have you and your pathetic group thrown in jail," Lisa threatened, clearly expecting me to back down.But she was so wrong.Without a word, I slapped her again, harder this time. Her shock was priceless. "Tell your dad he can go fuck himself," I said, my grin growing wider as Lisa held on to her swollen cheeks.

We've been too busy to read anything, let alone newspapers," Sophia replied, her voice tinged with worry."I don't think she needs to see it, Sophia. It's irrelevant," Rudy interjected, her voice shaking slightly."I'm okay, Rudy. I need to know," I insisted, my heart pounding with confusion.Rudy sighed, her eyes darting between Sophia and me. "You need to be seated for this," she said, her voice heavy with concern."You're scaring me, Rudy," Sophia murmured as we all moved to the booth at the far end of the diner.We could feel the stares of the other customers, their eyes piercing and judgmental. My skin prickled with discomfort. Before I could say anything, Austin's voice cut through the tension, filled with irritation and anger. "If you assholes keep staring, I'll give you something to stare at. Mind your fucking business, we're not here for your amusement."The customers quickly looked away, a

The doctors and Stephen did all the necessary tests to ensure they were okay before giving them the all-clear, and I couldn’t have been happier. She can finally leave the four walls of that room. But the thought terrifies me. I can't tell anyone how I feel. I don't want to scare them or add to our worries. We've got enough on our plate already.On some bad days, when I look at her, I can still see her body covered in blood from that terrible night. The memory gives me nightmares, but I'm glad she's okay now. My main goal is to help her get revenge on those who hurt her, so my conscience can be at peace. I know it's not my fault she got hurt, but if I had protected her better, she wouldn't have gone up to that roof that night.Sophia and Red were talking to the doctors when Riley arrived to pick up Xavier. "Hey guys, what are you up to? Are Sophia and Athena done?" she greeted, her smile lighting

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE: ATHENA"Austin, please take the boys to the cafeteria. I want to talk to Athena alone," Leo said, his voice steady and devoid of emotion. Austin nodded without hesitation, turning to the boys with a mischievous grin on his face."Come on, let’s go spoil your dinner," he joked. The boys laughed as they followed him out of the room. The door clicked shut, leaving Leo and me alone for the first time since I got hurt.I’d missed him, but there were more pressing matters at hand. I needed to know what happened and why he got hurt."I didn’t want you to know while you’re still getting better, but since the cat’s out of the bag, I have to tell you." Leo sat beside me, his fingers interlocking with mine, placing a gentle kiss on my hand."The same day you got hurt, Austin and the others said I was shot." His voice wavered slightly, eyes searching mine. "I don’t remember anything, but when I get my memories back, I will find whoever did this and make them pay for almost taking me from the people I lo
