A Taste Of Sin: Awakening Her Darkest Desires The Goddess
[Vance’s POV]A chill races down my spine as Allister’s words echo in my head again and again. I wouldn’t have much time. Did that mean that my father was already planning my trial?“Oi,” I call at the motionless man in front of me. “Can you hear me?”I knew that it was a long shot that he was actually able to wake up, let alone attempt to help me get these fucking cuffs off, but I didn’t intend to stick around and see what my father and brother were up to.“If you just lay there, something bad is going to happen to Tabitha.”To my surprise, the man begins to move at the mention of Tabitha, and when his dark eyes lift to meet mine, they are full of rage.“Tabitha,” he rasps, clearly struggling to form words. “Where is she?”Where indeed. My only assumption was that she was with the rest of the toys, but maybe Allister was keeping her close. That was the only thing I could think of given the situation, but why was father and Allister so determined to have her?Something was off. This w

[Tabitha’s POV]“Don’t you remember?”Turning, I take in the handsome man with messy brown hair and sparkling golden eyes that hold so much hope that it makes my heart hurt.“This was where we first met.”As he speaks, a door opens, and someone dressed in all black bursts in. From the build and height, it is clear that it is a man, and he is holding a stake in his hand.Lunging forward, he pulls the blanket off of whoever is lying on the bed, and when the person is revealed, my eyes grow wide. It is like I’m staring in a mirror, as the one there has my face. But she isn’t quite me—at least not the me I am now. Her face holds no semblance of emotion, and her eyes are dull.“You’re finally here to kill me?” She asks quietly. “Finally.”At her words, my heart squeezes painfully, and a familiar feeling hits, as if I were once where she was. I easily recognized that look of wanting to give up but not quite being able to do it.For a moment, neither person in front of us speaks as they exam

[Tabitha’s POV]I watch on in confusion over the clear display of affection and devotion between Evangaline and Titus. How did they go from this to what they were in the end? Was it Evangaline’s doing or Titus’?As this thought hits me, the scene around me begins to shift again. This time I find myself standing in my room again, and on the bed in front of me are Evangaline and Titus. Their bodies are twisted together, and in the dim red moonlight, I can’t really tell where one begins and the other ends.“Are you sure about this?” Evangaline asks, lifting onto her elbow. “There is still time to change your mind. I’ve warned you that an immortal existence isn’t what others may think.”“If it means being with you forever, I’m sure.” Titus assures her. “Please make me like you.”For a moment, Evangaline doesn’t move as she stares into Titus’ eyes, and when she leans down and presses her mouth against his neck, I know exactly what she is doing.When she finishes drinking, she brings her wr

[Vance’s POV]I wait as the human works to unlock the door of our cell, and once it is open, I’m moving while he follows behind. I was pleased to know that with each passing minute, his energy was returning, but he still looked like shit.“Remember that killing anyone we run into won’t work,” I announce as we round a corner and begin to head upstairs to the main living space of the mansion. “Focus on incapacitating.”“I’m not new to this,” the human huffs. “I don’t need you to tell me what to do.”Ignoring the sudden flare of annoyance I feel, I remind myself that I need this human to help me, and I can’t just leave him. Although I could handle quite a few opponents at once, if they decided to attack all at once, I would be in trouble.Fuck, this was annoying. I went from being a member of this fucking clan to their enemy all because I couldn’t stop myself from showing a bit of compassion.“Fool,” I grumble when we reach the stairwell exit.Bracing myself, I kick the door open and wat
Last Updated : 2023-12-02A Taste Of Sin: Awakening Her Darkest Desires An Explosion Of Power
[Tabitha’s POV]The world around me fades in and out as I struggle to breathe. No. I couldn’t go out like this, not when there was so much that still needed to be done. I needed to fight, but with each passing minute, any energy I may have had left drained until even keeping my eyes open was impossible, and as they began to close images of my parents and my brother dancing in front of them, they weren’t comforting; instead, they were accusatory.‘You killed us.’‘This is your fault.’‘If we never found you.'Again and again, their accusations echo around me until they’re deafening, and I just want to escape them, but I can’t.“No,” I whimper, wanting to cover my ears only to find that my body won’t cooperate. “It wasn’t me. It wasn’t me.”No matter how I tried to deny it, in the end, I knew that they were right. Because I was born. Because I was apparently this reincarnation of the vampire goddess Evangaline, I had led them to their downfall and cost them their lives.As this realizat

[Tabitha’s POV]I continue to squeeze Allister’s throat while he fights, but before I can truly kill the bastard, my shoulder is being grabbed. Whirling around, I prepare to attack, but stop when I find Vance staring at me with gentleness.“We need to go,” he says, looking back up at the building, where a hole sits in the wall, allowing flames to be seen flickering inside. “Before they come after us.”“They,” I repeat, continuing to hold Allister in place. “As in your clan?”“That’s correct,” he confirms.“Why the fuck didn’t you just kill your father?” I growl. “Then we wouldn’t…”“We would,” he counters. “Now instead of arguing with me, we need to go!”Growing quiet, he waits as I consider his words and debate whether I should go along with him. When my eyes come to rest on the figure on his back, which isn’t moving, I make my decision.“Let’s go,” I hiss, releasing Allister.Nodding, Vance turns and begins to move, leading us toward the large garage that sits beside the mansion, an
Last Updated : 2023-12-05A Taste Of Sin: Awakening Her Darkest Desires A Loss
[Vance’s POV]I follow quietly as Tabitha makes her way toward the small reception desk in the middle of the ICU. When she arrives, she waits for the woman sitting there to acknowledge her.“Which patient?” She asks calmly.From the woman’s demeanor, it is clear that she is more than used to dealing with anxious family members and mourning ones. There is a lack of emotion on her face, and when Tabitha gives Anthony’s name, she doesn’t even bat an eye before she is nodding toward a small waiting room at the end of the hall.For a moment, Tabitha doesn’t move as she looks from the woman to the rooms around us and back. I’m sure that she is going to try to argue about just seeing Anthony, and before she can do that, I’m grabbing her and leading her away.“What are you doing?” She hisses once we take a seat. “What about Anthony?”“I’m sure the doctor will give us more information on his condition.”Something in me knew that whatever we heard, we weren’t going to like it, but I didn’t want

[Vance’s POV]Tabitha doesn’t speak as I drive us to the destination that she gave me, and when we arrive, the first signs of day are beginning to peek through the trees. At this point, I could only hope that this ice-fae bastard would be willing to help me.Hopping out first, I quickly make my way up the yard and onto the porch, then begin to pound on the door.For a moment, I don’t hear anything from within and wonder if he is even home, but when the sound of locks being undone reaches me, I know that he is.Stepping back, I wait as he slowly pulls the door open and then takes me in with both a look of confusion and recognition.“You,” he hisses, his eyes flashing with anger. “Why the fuck are you here?”“Because…” I begin and then wince as I realize the word help is about to leave my lips. “She…” I continue, motioning toward Tabitha, who is still in the car. “She needs you.”Growing quiet, I wait as Atticus examines Tabitha and then turns his gaze back to me, but when his lips twit

A Taste Of Sin: Awakening Her Darkest Desires Epilogue 3: The Last Night
[Tabitha’s POV]“Then we have tonight.”If you asked me if this was the outcome I was expecting after taking down Titus and ending one threat, I would say no. I wasn’t an overflowing fucking optimist, but to know that in the end, the ones who stood beside me through this time would disappear one by one was a punch to the gut.Atticus would be leaving to go to the unseelie court, Vance would need time to calm his clan and gain control, and Anthony was gone and would never be back.“I think the lady wants you,” JD chuckles, breaking the silence that had fallen around us. “Why are you just standing there?”“Shut up,” Atticus growls, reaching out and grabbing me.It doesn’t take long for us to arrive back at Atticus’ home, and the minute we step in the door, my clothes are being ripped off along with his. Once they’re out of the way, Atticus is dropping to his knees and burying his face in my folds.“Atticus,” I gasp, spreading my legs wider. “The door.”“Fuck the door,” he growls, contin
A Taste Of Sin: Awakening Her Darkest Desires Epiloque 2: Their Given Paths
[Atticus’ POV]“His help doesn’t come easy.”The words leave my lips as I take Tabitha in, waiting to see if her resolve will quake. Maybe this was the reason that I fell for her, or maybe it was the undeniable draw that I felt. Whatever it was I knew, with or without my memories, I would choose her again and again because of the strength she radiated.“I don’t care,” she says, beginning to move. “And if you’re just going to stand here and argue, you can..."“No,” I sigh, hoisting Titus as he begins to slip. “Let’s go.”I begin to move, heading into JD’s domain, and then lead the way to his room, where he should be waiting. When we arrive, the door swings open, and a broad smile rests on his face.“Did you succeed?” He asks, eyeing the wrapped-up lump on my shoulder. “Or did you bring me another gift?"“No,” I chuckle, throwing Titus on the ground. “It’s what you want.”“But before that,” Tabitha adds, making her presence known. “There are some things that we would like to ask him.”“
A Taste Of Sin: Awakening Her Darkest Desires Epilogue 1: Not Goodbye Just See You Later
[Tabitha’s POV]I wait until Atticus disappears out of the room and the sound of his steps grows distant before turning my gaze to Vance, who is watching me curiously. I was sure that he was curious why I was still standing here. I wanted to speak with him alone. And probably, what the hell was I even doing?“Promise me,” I begin, deciding there was no point in beating around the bush. “That you won’t disappear.”I knew I was asking a lot, and I wouldn’t blame him for denying my request. Technically, it was because of my existence that his brother and father are now gone. And that his clan was undergoing something so serious. But I didn’t want to lose the one solid thing I had beside me.“I know I'm asking a lot and that you don’t owe me, but..."“Shut up.”Leaning forward, Vance grabs my chin and then presses his lips against mine. Immediately, the world and all the fucking problems we are facing disappear, and all I can feel is him. Is it because of his mark on me? Because of everyt
A Taste Of Sin: Awakening Her Darkest Desires A New Road
[Tabitha’s POV]I stand up and take in the room in front of me. Atticus and Vance are both here, staring at me as if they’re looking at a ghost, and laying on the ground is Titus, and someone clearly beat the shit out of him.“Good job,” I say slowly, nodding toward the bastard on the ground. “I’m glad the two of you managed to take care of him.”It was probably ridiculous to say this after dying and then coming back, but the awkwardness was beginning to get to me.“How?” Vance rasps, moving forward.Reaching out, he attempts to touch me, but lets out a hiss when his fingers touch the sunlight and begin to burn.“Dammit,” he growls.“Here,” I say, climbing through the hole that was made in my cage while I was out of it. When I’m out of the sunlight and standing in front of Vance, I grab his wrist and bring his hand to my face so that he can feel it. “Better?”Growing quiet, I wait as he processes what is happening, and when understanding finally seems to dawn in him, he is reaching ou
A Taste Of Sin: Awakening Her Darkest Desires Her Gift
[Tabitha’s POV]I feel like I’m floating. In the blissful darkness that surrounds me, I’m weightless. My body drifts in and out of what I can only assume is oblivion. Did this mean that I died? If I did, I could only hope by this point that Vance and Atticus would be able to defeat Titus, and if not... Well, there was nothing I could do at this point.Letting out a sigh, I try to drift away again so that the worry I’m beginning to feel doesn’t continue to haunt me. However, with each passing minute, I can feel my consciousness becoming clearer and clearer until I can’t remain oblivious, and it’s frustrating.Slowly, I begin to open my eyes, but I have to close them again as dazzling light attacks them, and when I open them again, I have to squint.Frowning, I begin to take in the area around me, trying to determine exactly what was happening and where I was. Was this the afterlife? But how could it be? As a sinner and a member of the undead, wouldn’t hell be the place to which I belon
A Taste Of Sin: Awakening Her Darkest Desires From The Ashes
[Vance’s POV]Shouts and snarls erupt around me as I burst into the mansion ahead and begin to look around. Why the fuck would Tabitha be stupid enough to go in alone when she knew that my father was most likely waiting for her?As this thought hits, two of my father’s men rush toward me. Growling, I lift my hands and connect with them. Once I’ve got control, I liff and throw them into the next line of men that are making their way toward me.Behind me, I can hear Atticus, and when icy bullets begin to erupt around me, I extend my senses until I feel Tabitha.“I’m heading up!” I announce, taking in the scene around me. “Can you handle it here?”“Yeah,” Atticus puffs, switching out the weaponry on his arms for something stronger. “Just don’t forget; I need that heart.”Nodding, I begin to move, only stopping long enough to dodge a sneak attack.“Nice try,” I grin, kicking out and sending the man crashing into the wall and then moving forward so that I can grab his head and twist until
A Taste Of Sin: Awakening Her Darkest Desires A Curse
[Tabitha’s POV]I keep my gaze fixed on the hole where the slowly-lightening sky can be seen. I had maybe twenty minutes at most before the sun was high enough to shine down on me. Shit, what the hell was I going to do?“Don’t look so afraid, my pet,” Titus murmurs. “This was always your fate from the moment you came into existence.”“Wouldn’t that mean it was the same fate for you?” I ask."No, because I wasn’t born a monster, I was turned, and in finally getting rid of you, my true love will forgive me and bring me and my people out of the shadows.”“Your true love?” I repeat as I feel my consciousness being tugged on.Gasping, I feel my eyes roll into the back of my head as images of a beautiful field with white flowers swaying in the breeze appear. Standing in the field are Titus and a woman with flowing blonde hair and bright golden eyes. She wears a white gown that is almost transparent, allowing the perfect view of her body beneath.Instantly, I feel a sense of familiarity and
A Taste Of Sin: Awakening Her Darkest Desires An Ambush
[Tabitha’s POV]I can feel Vance’s hesitation as he tries to make sense of my plan. I knew that it was a suicide mission, but to see Allister suffering so fucking much because of his own father, I couldn’t stop the burning desire I felt to kill Titus.“You don’t have to join us,” Atticus offers, breaking the silence that was settling around us. “We don’t need you anyway.”“Do you really think you stand a chance against them?” Vance counters.“I wager I have a good chance at surviving,” Atticus chuckles. “I would just have to breakout the heavy ammo.”As he speaks, ice starts to wrap around his muscular arms and form into what looks like machine guns. Damn, he really was capable, wasn’t he? With his ice magic, Vance’s blood magic, and my combat skills, I was sure that we would be okay.“Fine,” Vance huffs. “But remember, my father is mine.”“I need his heart,” Atticus counters. "Therefore, I should be..."“He’s mine,” Vance repeats more firmly. “I’ll give you his fucking heart before i
A Taste Of Sin: Awakening Her Darkest Desires An Unexpected Appearance
[Vance’s POV]My gaze stays fixed on Tabitha as she stares in the direction that ice fae bastard disappeared in. As much as I tried to tell myself that I didn’t give two shits if they had something, seeing her so fucking hurt over his leaving left a bad taste in my mouth.“Are you just going to sit there?” I ask, unable to continue to watch her misery. “Don’t you think we should get out of here too before someone finds this?"As I speak, I motion to the pile of ice, flesh, and bone that covers the floor. It was only a matter of time before someone realized that August’s remains were up here, and I didn’t want to be present when that happened.The fae stuck together through most things, and to kill one of their own would make you all of their enemy. I couldn’t wait to see how things would work out for Atticus due to what he did, but for now, the repercussions would have to wait.“No,” Tabitha says softly, finally snapping out of her daze. “I’m not.”“Then let’s go.” I huff, pulling up
