Sadie So many times I wanted to turn back, but I couldn’t. It took Raven’s encouragement and push to keep me going. I was still having a hard time letting go of everything I'd known. Damn, I’ve never been out of our city, yet here I was traveling to places unknown. Somewhere far away, where I didn
“I think we should make camp here,” Raven told me after we'd walked for a while. “It’s getting dark and you look pretty tired.” I sighed in agreement. “Yes please” She was right. My feet were killing me, and I was pretty worn out. What I wanted right now was to have something to eat and then sleep
I really should have started training when Piper did. In my defense, I thought I had time. Never did I imagine that I’d find myself in such a situation. I was fighting for mine and my baby’s lives. I dodged yet another attack, but I don’t know how long I could keep this up. My plan was to keep dodg
“Who the fuck are you?” I asked, scrambling back until my back hits a tree. My heart was racing, and my whole body was trembling. I felt like I couldn’t breathe as the weight of what I’d done suddenly hit me like a ton of bricks. I know she wasn’t a good person, but she was still a person, and I h
We can sense if a person is supernatural, but we can’t easily tell which species they are exactly. “We are banished,” I simply said, gauging his reaction. He just shrugs like it’s nothing. “It doesn’t bother you that we are banished?” Rave asked in disbelief. “Not really. I’m a lone wolf, and I’
There wasn’t much to talk about after everything poured out of King. After our conversation, Raven invited him for dinner. I wasn’t in any position to help, so King and Raven took care of everything. After having our meal, I went straight to sleep. My body was tired and wired at the same time. I wa
I love coffee; it is my lifeline, but since we learned I was pregnant, Raven has limited the amount I take. His things are already packed, but he is seated, and he looks mighty frustrated. “I was going to leavee. I’d even gotten my things and was about to leave, but something inside me stopped me.
Alec. It’s been a couple of weeks since Sadie died and Piper left the pack. Things have been fucking terrible, and I don’t even know how the hell I’m going to fix everything that is happening. The pack is getting weaker as the days go by. A few days ago, there was a rogue attack, and we almost fuc
“Do you think?” she doesn’t have to finish the sentence. I know what she’s hinting at.Could it be that the veiled woman Calvin mentioned, and this masked one, are one and the same person?We had gone through the probability of the veiled woman being the one that was making the hybrid, but we never
"Man, she scares me," I heard Jason say behind me, making me smirk. "Remind me not to piss her off."When Micah came back with the torture tools, I got to work. He fought; he cursed, but none of that did anything to me. Nothing was going to stand in the way of me getting my answers.By the time I wa
“Sadie?” Raven's voice pulls me from my wandering mind. “Are you okay?”Am I okay? Definitely not.Alec managed to completely disarm me. Of course, I am not okay. What the hell am I supposed to do? I’d planned on how to deal with him because I knew how his mind worked, but now? Now, he changed the w
Alec and I look at each other, silently communicating. After a second or two, he pulls his eyes from mine and focuses on Aspen, who is holding on to him as if her life depends on it.I can see the struggle in his eyes. He doesn’t want to let go of her, but he also knows that questioning that hybrid
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
