She raises her hand in the air in surrender, backing away from me. “Okay fine… Your baby daddy then.” “Can we just get this over with?” She nods her head and takes my hand again. We started walking and entered the building. My eyes kept scanning the area, hoping that even though I had my hoodie o
I stared at him, completely frozen on the spot. Terror completely takes over, and I'm unable to do anything except stare at the man who shattered me.His eyes were a mix of blue and silver, signifying that both he and Knox were in control.Every memory of my time in the dungeon rushes to my mind. I
Alec. “Boss?” The familiar voice pulled me from the edge of darkness. I came to consciousness with a start. I was lying on the floor, and so was Jason. I looked up to find Bret, a vampire and one of my best bodyguards. “What the hell happened?” I growled, slowly standing up. Fuck, my head hurt l
We watch the rest of the video until it shows them leaving the premises in a hurry. I shut the laptop down and start pacing. I am pissed off, and so is Knox. He wants blood. He wants a chance at killing the woman who destroyed our chances at having a mate. I can’t say I blame him. I want the same t
Sadie Raven was able to help us escape without anyone realizing a thing. With a simple spell, she was able to conceal our scents and create an illusion, which changed our appearance. No one would know it was me, even if I stood in front of them. We break through the forest, and I breathe a sigh of
I screamed as his fangs dug deeper into my neck. I felt it as my blood rushed to his mouth because of how hard he was sucking. I’ve heard how painful it is when a vampire feeds on you. Despite being a werewolf, I preferred the fairy tale version of the feeding, where humans believed that being fed
We remain silent and watch him burn until there is nothing but ash left. I stare at the pile of ash as reality starts to sink in. I almost died today. Twice, for that matter. Damn it. Did the goddess have it out for me or something? First, I almost got killed by Alec, and now this? What’s next? Bei
Alec. I punch one of my warriors hard, feeling a sick kind of satisfaction when I hear his nose break. He groans, but that doesn't deter me. I land another blow and another until he’s on the floor. “Get up, Brady,” I commanded, but he didn’t. I know that I’m pushing him, but he’s one of my best w
I stare at them, my mind racing at seeing them like this, the new discovery about Nyx temporarily forgotten. Aspen is chatting away like she’s known Alec her whole life. I can’t hear anything because my ears are ringing, but I can tell she’s probably entertaining him with stories of her adventure.A
“Who are the two girls?” I ask, fearing the answer she’ll give.“Me and my sister,” she whispers, brokenly.The air gets stuck in my throat as the words strike my already battered heart in a way I don’t understand. There is something just on the surface, but before I can fully grasp what it is, it d
I wake up a bit disoriented. My mind is a bit foggy and I can’t shake the tiredness that was weighing down my body.I hate it when this happens. You fall asleep finally, thinking that you’ll have the rest your body has been craving, only to wake up feeling more tired than you were the previous day.
I walked into my room and immediately went to the bathroom to take yet another shower. This one, unlike the previous one, was quick. I was hoping that I could wash away Alec’s burning stare and the dirt that came with dragging a hybrid through the forest. I managed to wash the dirt away, but not his
I drag the hybrid’s body, my mind full of unanswered questions. I couldn’t help thinking of the last two hybrids that attacked me and wondering whether these two incidents were somehow related.“What do you think?” I ask Nyx, not caring if the man I was dragging got hurt or not.He doesn’t really de
I don’t know how long it is when Nyx finally stops, collapsing on the cold, hard ground.“I need rest,” she says, panting.I don’t say anything, because what is there to say? I kept pushing her because I didn’t want to think, and I knew stopping would automatically bring me back to my depressing tho
I stare at Aspen, who is soundly asleep. She looks so beautiful. So, at peace. Her long lashes fan her cheeks, and her mouth is slightly open as she snores. Snoring should be annoying, but when it’s from Aspen, it’s absolutely cute.The day out that we had completely tired her out. She didn’t even f
AlecI’m still rooted to my spot as Sadie’s words continue playing through my mind like a broken record.I want to ask if I am that terrible. So terrible that she would wish I were dead. I can't, though, because I know that I was a monster to her. Worse than a monster, actually."Alec," I hear Piper
She lowers her arms to her side.“Hi” she says in an awkward tone and a half smile.I stare at her, not really sure what the hell to do. The woman standing before me used to be my best friend. I knew everything about her and vice versa. Now I look at her and a stranger stares back at me.I should mo
