“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,
“What did you just say?” I growled, feeling my anger rise.I must have heard wrong, right? There is just no fucking way Micah would betray me like that. Not after years of friendship. Not after he saw what Sadie and her scheming put me through.“I said a lot of things,” she growled back, her eyes sp
Jason snarled at the insult from Sadie. Turning to him, I gave him a warning look to shut it. Then I reminded him through the mind link that we still needed her help.With a smirk, he looked at Jason and said, “Yes, I know that I am better, but the idiot is still a friend. A brother, if I can go tha
Fuck. I fight to remain upright. As much as I didn’t want to admit it or accept it, it was the truth. If Sadie had died, then it means my pack would have died right along with her. More than that, I would have killed my own child.The images of her begging me in my office while I had my hand in her
Sadie.Waking up this morning, I felt like I hadn’t gotten any sleep the whole night. I was tired, my eyes felt dry, and I had a headache to end all headaches.Is it wrong that I wish Alec had never stepped foot in my pack? Everything that has happened started when he came here. Before, though I was
King wasn’t wrong the first day we met. Hybrids were savages. Most of them had abandoned their humanity. The only difference between them and the rogues was that their human counterparts seemed to still be in control. Unlike the Rogues, who had handed control to their supernatural counterparts.“Not
“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
