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
“What the hell is she?” Someone whispered next to me. The question brought me back to what Sadie had said the two vampires had asked her when they were feeding. Could this be what they meant? Is it possible that they sensed something in her blood, something that none of us knew about her? Her dead
I don’t say anything. Just turned back and continued staring at nothing.I pretended that his presence wasn’t affecting me. Pretended that I was okay and that every fiber in my being wasn’t vibrating. I was fighting the pull despite Nyx telling me not to. I was used to fighting it since we learned t
The room was too quiet. Aspen had fallen asleep the moment her head touched the pillow, her monkey and elephant clutched tightly in her little arms. I watched her for a long moment, brushing a few stray strands of hair from her forehead. Her tiny mouth hung open just a little, breath even and soft.
The rest of the visit passed in a blur of giggles and tiny hands pressed to glass enclosures. Aspen’s favorites were the baby goats. She got to feed one, and when it nibbled her fingers, she laughed so hard she had to sit down.Alec was right there beside her, brushing dirt off her knees, and I stoo
We got out of the car. The air smelled like pine and sunshine, and Aspen was practically dragging us toward the enclosures before we’d even paid the entrance f*e.“Looook!” she squealed. “That one’s got a funny tail!”“That’s a lemur,” Alec said, keeping pace with her tiny footsteps. “They live in M
SadieThe next day came sooner than I had expected or prepared for. I was still on cloud nine after shifting into our other state. It felt so good. Like I had unlocked something fierce. Something divine. After Alec left, I practiced more and each time it became easier than the last.My mind occasion
“I didn’t tell anyone,” he replied with a shrug. “I was ashamed. But eventually, I realized I couldn’t fight him forever. So, I stopped trying to control him, and I just… accepted him. I accepted that Knox was a part of me. I embraced the power of an Alpha and I allowed myself to merge with my wolf.
SadieThe wind danced around me, soft but persistent, stirring the tall grass that brushed against my legs. It was cool, yet beads of sweat trailed down my spine, clinging to my shirt as if they were trying to remind me just how much effort I was putting into this. My heart pounded, not from exertio
I didn’t answer. I couldn’t. The silence stretched until it felt like it would choke me.“You don’t have to say anything,” he said gently. “I’m not telling you to give him a chance, Sadie. That’s your choice. But I think… I think it’s time to stop hiding.”“Hiding?” I repeated, my voice hollow.“You
Sadie.I’d just come from a run. Sleep had been a distant thought, elusive and half-formed, slipping from my grasp every time I closed my eyes. My mind had been too full of everything and nothing. When day came, and I still couldn’t get any sleep, I decided to go for a run to clear my head before I
