He pauses, then continues, “My father never mentioned the secret room again, and I forgot about it. That was until I had this dream where he was telling me to check the secret room he’d told me about. At first, I wanted to ignore the dream, but the feeling of checking it out just kept nagging me unt
It’s been two days since our minds were blown away by new revelations. The more things were revealed, the more complicated they became. It seemed like we were wrong about so many things. The only thing that we were right about was the damn curse.I push Knox harder as he runs through the trees, dodg
“We need to go back and start preparations,” I said, breaking the silence after we’d been there for some time.Thankfully, Knox doesn’t argue. He just stood up and started the trot back home. Despite everything, we felt more at ease. I know it’s only for a while before restlessness takes over, but i
I walk through the airport with my beta and gamma by my sides. Some of my warriors were accompanying us. It’s always wise to be careful. You may never know when trouble will arise. It took us almost two hours to get here, and we still had a long way to go. To say I’m irritable would be an understa
I hate it when people answer a question with a question. “Yeah, I have some business to discuss with The Hope Pack’s Alpha. I’m headed there right now.” I hear her squeal loudly, and I’m forced to pull the handset away from my ear so that I don’t damage my ears. “Piper, you’re going to make me de
Sadie“Watch him carefully,” Nyx murmured, looking at John as if we were prey and we were the predators. “See how he is favoring one side?” she asked.I nodded my head. “Yes.”“His other side is the opening you need. If you can land a strong kick to the left, then you’ll take him by surprise long en
It was a lie, but I didn’t know what else to tell her. The two had bonded so fast, just like she had bonded with her aunt Rave and uncle King.Just like she’d promised, Beth had found us after things had settled. No one knows how, and she refused to tell us. She stayed with us, but around mid-last y
Raven. When I woke up this morning, I didn’t think that things would go to shit the way they were going right now. I’m a witch, a special witch, as my mom used to tell me. I got that odd feeling first thing when I opened my eyes. That heavy weight on my chest, that premonition of something bad hap
“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
