“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
Alec.When I saw Micah’s car today, I never expected Sadie to be the one using it. I also never expected the day to end the way it did.I had some business in town with some of the neighboring Alphas. I also went to my company to check how things were running, given that I had not been in the office
Living among humans and hiding our nature, we’ve learned to clean up our messes. That’s why there has never been a string of suspicious deaths, even though we kill rogues all the time.We soon get to the vehicles, and I get in, still cradling Sadie’s form in my arms as if she were a lifeline.I look
SadieI woke up with a headache, ending all headaches. I squinted as my eyes tried getting used to the bright light. Why the fuck was everything so bright when I felt so dull? Don’t you just hate it when that happens? It’s similar to when you are sad and depressed, but everyone seems so jovial and h
“Maybe we can teleport to our room?” Nyx suggests her anxiety feeding into mine.“A good idea,” I begin. “But what brought that on?”“Knox is trying to reach out. It’s pissing me off because he won’t stop trying to knock my barriers down.”I should have been surprised, but I wasn’t. Knox and Alec ar
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
