“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
Sighing I lean back against the bed. Like I said, this is the worst news, and I hate it. Nothing good has happened since we got here, and I was starting to wonder if this pack was really under a real curse, because it just doesn’t make sense why I’ve only been receiving bad news since I got here.“D
***I pace the room, anxiety eating at my insides. We had just arrived at Alec’s house a few minutes ago. It’s a large six-bedroom mansion set on acres of land among the rich and affluent. If I wasn’t so worried, I would have appreciated how good the house looked.It was a bit cold, but maybe becaus
Fuck. What the hell was I doing? Why was I allowing him to hold me like this?I aggressively pushed him away. He wasn’t prepared for my actions, so he stumbles a little bit, but releases me. I pull away, breathing hard, trying to clear my head from the spell that had been cast on me.“Sadie?”I rais
Alec.Having Sadie in my arms was a totally new feeling. I can’t describe it because I don’t really understand it all. Feeling her next to me in that close and intimate way shifted something inside me. Something I couldn’t even begin to try to explain.Every cell of my body came to life. It’s like t
“Yes, Alec had told me that you would come by,” she sits down. I follow suite, sitting beside her.I take her hand and mesh our fingers together before placing our joined hands on my lap. Her hand tightens in warning, but I refuse to let her go. I am not going to miss this chance. The chance to feel
SadieThe serious tone in Rave’s voice worries me. The last time she said she had something important, she revealed that the pack wasn’t under a curse but instead someone really powerful and potentially evil was imprisoned there.“She hasn’t hinted at what she wants to talk about.” Alec asks, runnin
“You seem to have selective amnesia. You clearly told me that you wouldn’t allow your child to be born by a whore. That whore being me. So what has changed since then, hmm? Is it finding out we are mates? Is it finding out that I wasn’t in the wrong?”He remains quiet. His eyes briefly scanned my fa
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
