“Nyx,” I call, trying to avoid the deer’s empty eyes; they felt like they were staring straight at me.Sure, I have killed a lot of rogues and hybrids since my first kill when I first met King, but this felt different. Maybe because it’s an innocent animal.“Oh, stop with the guilt," Nyx says, dropp
Alec.“That was an unexpected turn of events,” Jason mumbles as we leave the office.“That’s the understatement of the year,” Micah joins in. “Who would have thought that the same girl you tortured years ago was the miraculous help you’ve been looking for?”I don’t answer. In fact, I don’t even want
Fuck! I rub my chest, trying to ease the ache I feel in my heart. What the fuck was going on? Why was I feeling like this all of a sudden? It’s been three years. That feeling came and went, so why now?“Hey, are you okay?” Micah asked, coming to stand next to me.I don’t answer. What the hell would
None of my strategies are going to help me with Sadie. None of my training prepared me for this cluster fuck.“But have you guys felt it? It’s been there since we got here,” Micah asks, as his eyes shifted from me to Jason.“You’ll have to be more specific, Micah. I’ve felt a lot of shit since we go
Sadie.The rest of the day goes by in a blur, but I couldn’t stop thinking about what King told me. I mean, there is just no way, right? There have to be accounts of others who had white wolves.“There aren’t,” Nyx said in a sleepy voice.She hadn’t spoken since she went to sleep after hunting. The
“Martha said she was taking her to have her bath... She fell while playing with the other kids and was completely covered in mud.”At Raven’s answer, I smile. Taking two plates, I serve one for myself and the other for my daughter. I sit down, waiting for her.A few minutes later, King steps into th
Alec.I stumble back in shock when the little girl ran inside, screaming for Sadie. Screaming for her mama. Her body collides with that of Sadie, and she lifts her up by her armpits. I didn’t see her face because her back was turned to us, but I couldn’t fucking deny the pull towards her.My heart b
“What is she talking about?” Micah turned to me in confusion. “You knew she was pregnant, yet you didn’t say anything? You still wanted her dead?”“It wasn’t like that,” Jason jumped in.“It was exactly like that!” Sadie snapped, fire burning in her eyes. “Since he doesn’t want to admit what he did,
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
I quietly pass some of Alec’s pack members. Some wave at me, but I ignore them. One, because I find their actions hypocritical. I mean, why, all of a sudden, am I now a good person? Just because their alpha told them that he made a mistake, and they conveniently forgot what they did to me. No. It do
“She doesn’t deserve my respect. Not after what she allowed to happen,” I tell her, all the while feeling her anger simmering to the surface.She doesn’t reply immediately. Instead, she closes her eyes for a second before opening them again. “One of these days you are going to regret all the shit yo
“I’ll win your love back. Mark my words!”His words keep ringing in my head over and over again. I try to block them, to bury them, to ignore them, but nothing works. They keep playing in my head like a broken record.I scoff at both his words and my inability to ignore them. It sounds ridiculous wh
I am just about to flee after having said my piece when his hand grabs my arm. I twist around and face him. His gaze is intense, as his green eyes pierce mine in a way that leaves me breathless.For the first time in our lives, Alec’s gaze isn’t indifferent as he stares at me. I gasp at the emotions
SadieThree days. It’s been three days since I had the dream, and I am still confused about it. It doesn’t make any fucking sense. Just like the first time I dreamed about being killed, I woke up in the forest, naked and alone.I have no idea what happened or how I ended up there. All I can remember
When I got out and started changing, I didn’t know that I would be giving Sadie a strip show. Not that I am complaining anyway.I turned when I felt eyes on me. That’s when my eyes landed on her form, standing by the window. She didn’t flinch or move when I turned, even though I was stark naked in f
Alec.“You look deep in thought.”Micah’s voice interrupts my musings, pulling me back to the present. It’s been three days since we found out that a demi-god was probably imprisoned here.I am in my office. I should be working. I had a lot of work load. Both from my pack and my security company, ye
