“It’s all nice and good that Raven has figured out who this guy is, but have you all thought about what this could mean?” Piper leans back against her chair and asks.“What do you mean?” Alec's face is etched in confusion.“If the person is really Kaden, then it means we will be up against a demi-go
I’m completely speechless. To be honest, I didn’t even for once think that might be the case.I stumble back and drop onto the nearest chair behind me. It’s like all the energy I had has been zapped from me, leaving me a weak mess.Raven’s word make sense. With everything Nyx knows and all that she
Courage courses through me as I pull myself from the dark abyss that had threatened to swallow me whole. My back straightens and my shoulders pull back as I feel the darkness that had surrounded me slowly dissipate. My vision clears, and Raven’s image becomes clearer.“I need to ask her,” I mumble t
I was unable to think about anything else for the rest of the day. Nyx has shut herself from me, so there is no way I can reach her. I know what I felt. I know something big happened. Probably between Nyx, her former human, and Kaden, because why else would I have felt hurt and betrayed? Kaden must
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
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
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.
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
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
