“But, how is this possible?” she asks, repeating her former question.“Honestly, I don’t know. I am not even sure if this is real, or I am still asleep,” I reply, getting off the bed and standing up. Running my hand through my hair, I start pacing. It seems I’ve been doing a lot of that lately.“It’
I stand in the middle of the room assigned to me, not really sure what I should do. Should I sleep a little longer? Should I go to the library and try to find answers? Should I practice my powers?I sigh for the hundredth time, undecided about what to do. Just when I am thinking of going back to sle
“It is,” I say with a sigh.“Remember what I told you before you left?” he asks.I stay quiet as I try to rack my brain, trying to remember what he told me. After a minute, there is nothing. He said a lot of things.“You’ll have to be a bit more specific, King,” I tell him, because no matter what I
After deciding on my next move, I leave my room and go downstairs. Sniffing the air, I easily locate Micah, so I head towards his direction. He was in his office. In most packs, the beta and gamma had their own offices. Alec’s pack wasn’t any different. I gently knock, and when I hear his voice tell
I walk inside the shop, taking in everything inside it. Nothing has changed in the past three years since I’ve been away. The walls are still the same warm yellow color they were, although it seems a fresh coat has been added. The chairs and the tables are still the same.I walk further in. I’ve com
He died at fifty-nine. Mrs. Walter never remarried. She was now in her late eighties.“It’s okay. I got over him and I no longer want him. Not like I used to,” I assure her, pulling myself from my thoughts.She grabs my hand in a gentle hold and leads me to my favorite table. “Sit right here, while
“What are you doing here? Alec,” I ask Alec, still eating my ice cream.“I could ask you the same thing, Sadie,” he answers, his eyes focused on me. “I saw Micah’s car and wondered what he would be doing here. Only it wasn’t Micah, it was you.”I used to come here as a safe haven. I didn’t have anyw
Alec doesn’t say anything. This is what I was afraid of. Mrs. Walter always said that when she met Alec, she would give him a piece of her mind and let him know just how his behavior towards me was despicable.The stubborn tilt of her lips lets me know she’s about to reveal more of my secrets.“That
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
I don’t know how long it is when Nyx finally stops, collapsing on the cold, hard ground.“I need rest,” she says, panting.I don’t say anything, because what is there to say? I kept pushing her because I didn’t want to think, and I knew stopping would automatically bring me back to my depressing tho
I stare at Aspen, who is soundly asleep. She looks so beautiful. So, at peace. Her long lashes fan her cheeks, and her mouth is slightly open as she snores. Snoring should be annoying, but when it’s from Aspen, it’s absolutely cute.The day out that we had completely tired her out. She didn’t even f
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
