“Why didn’t you let Martha know?”She shrugs her shoulders. “I’m sorry,”She gives me her puppy eyes, and I cave in like the fucking weakling I am. I can never say no to her. Nor can I ever stay mad at her.I sigh, before bending down to kiss her cheeks, “This is a new pack, so don’t go running arou
I curse the moon goddess for the hundredth time as I make my way back into the pack house. I hate this. I hate it so freaking much. I wish things were different. I wish things didn’t happen the way they did. Maybe then I wouldn’t be here.I wipe the tears away, getting rid of all the evidence that,
I don’t say anything. I just shut the door in her face. I don’t care if it's rude. They don’t deserve anything from me, and they won’t be getting anything from me.I get dressed quickly, then leave my room. I'll have to spend time with Aspen later on. The sooner I get this damn curse fixed, the soon
Raven.After Sadie left my room, I got up, showered, and got dressed. I usually take a few minutes in the morning to just meditate. It helps me channel and anchor my powers. This is something that my mother taught me since I was a little girl.Once I was done with that, I checked on Aspen. She was s
When I was done swimming, I headed back home. I think I’d been gone for, like, only an hour.I remember nearing our cottage and just knowing that something wasn’t right. Something didn’t feel right. I rushed inside our home to find my mom on the floor with her chest ripped open. Her heart next to he
Sadie.“Even if we were to try and find this woman, I’m not sure where we would even start,” Martin says, voicing exactly what I was thinking.This woman, whoever she is, went to great lengths to hide her identity. She didn’t want to be found. She didn’t want to be known, and with the kind of power
It's crazy and a little bit scary knowing that someone played you in this way. That someone was mechanizing things behind your back to make sure an aspect of your life failed.“But that would mean they know Alec and Sadie. They knew them so well that they knew how they would react. They counted on t
His words ring in my ear. I get what he is saying. I understand the words, but I can’t seem to grasp their meaning.Adopted. Adopted.How am I adopted? Of everything that has happened, not once has it ever crossed my mind that I may not be the biological child of my parents.“H-how?” I stammer the w
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
