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
“Why would hybrids be following us?” Alec asks, his words coming through clenched teeth.I totally get him because I am currently wondering the same thing. Why would two hybrids be tailing us? In my honest opinion, I don’t think they are after Alec. Why would they be? He is simply in the wrong place
“Sadie?” I hear a voice calling me, but it sounds muffled underwater.My ears are ringing, and I can barely see anything given that my sight is blurry. I feel dazed and there is this excruciating pain radiating somewhere on my body.“Open your eyes, Sadie. We have to get out of here.”This time the
“I’m going to set you down so I can deal with them, okay?” Alec whispers in my ear. “It’s only going to take a moment.”Before I can protest, he sets me against a tree before turning to the two snarling hybrids. Alec is overconfident, thinking hybrids are easy to kill. Has he seriously forgotten all
The little energy I had leaves me, and I sag against the tree. Alec catches me before I can fall down to the ground.The hybrid's words keep playing in my head. Not about his cousin, but about the woman who was apparently coming for me.“You are bleeding,” Alec’s voice cuts through my thoughts.I gi
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
He smirks, still oblivious to how dangerous I am. I have conquered kingdoms, yet this puny thing thinks he is stronger than I. What a complete joke.“And that’s exactly what you are, isn’t it? A bitch…and your place is on your knees with my cock in your mouth,” he sneers, grabbing his crotch, before
Anonymous.I walk through the gates of my castle worn out, tired and completely pissed off. Someone had sent word that they had spotted my mother. That they were sure it was her.This time I decided to go myself. After all, if it was her, I wanted to drag her here myself. I wanted to be the one to b
Mostly we leave our clothes where we can find them or use the ones hidden in different spots. Like I said, it would be traumatizing for children to watch naked pack members every time someone shifts.As for us sleeping together three years ago, well, I still can’t remember the details of that night.
Sleep doesn’t come easily, even after taking a long-needed shower. I thought that washing off the tension in my weary bones would be enough, but it wasn’t. I then decided to relax in the bathtub and not think about anything. I failed miserably.Two hours after a shower and a warm soak in the tub, I
She moves, smiles and kisses my cheek. “I close the door.”My clever, sneet munchkin. I chuckle as I correct her. “It’s closed the door, honey.”"Close,” she repeats it wrong again.“Closed”“Close”I give up. I help her get inside the bathtub. It’s after she’s in that I realize that I miscalculated
