It's now a little after ten at night. Roman and I are outside, getting ready to go for a run. He's leading me to the forest. We're both wearing robes since we spent the entire day naked anyways. We ended up having sex three more times; what can I say? It's never enough. Tomorrow is a full moon, so the entire forest is bathed in moonlight and looks so beautiful. I shrug my robe off as he shifts. His wolf is magnificent; he's enormous, standing as tall as a grizzly bear with fur almost as black as Tamisra's. He has large brown eyes and huge paws that could easily crush my head. I walk up to him, run my fingers through his fur, and kiss his big head. He rubs against me and licks my stomach while I giggle; yeah, definitely just a big puppy. I'm a little nervous as I call Tamisra forward. Alpha Gunther was pissed my wolf was black; typically, only Alpha wolves were black. In fact, I don't think there's ever been a recorded black wolf who wasn't an Alpha. She was so black she had hints of
Today is the day we're supposed to meet Blair again, and I'm pretty nervous, to say the least. I don't know what this will entail, and I wonder if she'll be able to lift the barrier spell and if it will hurt. Sophie suggested that I had witch genes, thinking maybe it skipped a couple generations on one of my parents' sides. It didn't feel right, but it was possible. I didn't tell her about my escapades with Roman; she knows I'm seeing someone, though. It didn't feel like the right time, and I wouldn't ask her to keep anything else from her mate. She was already hiding my location from Gamma Colton, who would definitely tell Felix anything he knew about me. She did tell me, though, that Felix has been a complete ass, taking all his anger out on the pack members and getting drunk all the time. Serves the dickhead right. Tamisra snarls at my thought of him; she was out for blood. If I ever saw him again, I'd let her take over and do her worst. Roman walks over to us as I finish traini
I wake up to Roman's alarm, groaning when I realize I have to get up with him too. Today was my first day working in his office, and Gamma Max will be waiting for me to show me what to do. It's just scanning and filing, so hopefully, he doesn't need to stick around too long. I liked Gamma Max but did not want to be around anyone today. I even thought about going back to my room, but I would just miss Roman anyways. Weirdly, I hadn't spent a night on this territory without him since the first day, and I was completely content with that.I was shocked when he told me he was part demon, but it made me feel better about my own possible demon genes. Now that I had time to think about and accept it, it wasn't that bad. I don't know who or where the genes came from in my family, but I was relieved to hear it could skip generations; I was worried my mom had cheated on my dad or something. But she wouldn't do that, so it must have skipped a couple of us; like Roman said can happen. "You can c
I'm surprised at how packed these clubs are; it's not even six yet. But Violet says this club is poppin' at all hours of the day, so I guess this is normal. Walking in, we go straight up to the bar and order our drinks. Gemma gets a vodka cran, Violet a jack, and coke while I go for a gin and tonic. We throw back three rounds before taking our fourth out to the dance floor. We dance for hours, and I let everything go as I dance with my new friends. After three hours, we're all coated in a light sheen of sweat and laughing breathlessly as we go to get some water before we return to dancing. After a couple minutes, Violet is grinding her ass on me when I hear a terrifying growl, and she's ripped away from me. I look up and see an absolutely delicious, ripped woman with a short faded haircut. I put my hands up in surrender as soon as I realize what was happening. "MINE," she booms at me."Don't worry, I'm with her brother. She's all yours," I say as I look at Violet, who's staring at
I laugh darkly as I approach the incubus. I will have to play this smart; if I attack right now, he could teleport, or portal, as we call it, but the fact is I need to detain him. I need to know what he knows about Amara, how he knows about it, and what the end game was. She's never expressed any type of leftover affection she might have for him. But I am genuinely unsure if she'd be okay with torturing him for information. But she has every right to know about this, so I will have to tell her before I do anything. 'Max, I need you to bring me some devilsbane ASAP,' I send through the mindlinkWhen I stand in front of the fucker, he visibly pales. Demon's scents are undetectable to any other species, a defense tactic bestowed upon us by Hades after we escaped slavery by the Angels over three thousand years ago. It's how my pack can't detect my other side and apparently how Red Moon was unable to scent the incubus among them. I have to give credit where credit is due, incubi are the
I wake up with a raging headache and groan. I can see it's dark outside, meaning I slept all day, which I kind of expected. We hadn't finished until about nine in the morning, after which Roman was in a mood and went to lead training. I understood but still had trouble falling asleep without him, mainly because I couldn't turn my mind off.Felix finally broke around eight. He told us he was working with the vampires who wanted my blood to fuel their black magic spells, that they would use me as a blood bag and use me to become more powerful. As for why me specifically, we got nowhere. He only admitted to knowing that I was a powerful hybrid, which I knew was a goddessdamn lie, or at least a half-truth.On top of that, his reward for getting me to the vampires in one piece once whatever magic I have manifested, he would get to keep me. He said this was a favor to both him and me, that I should be grateful I wouldn't be forced to live in a cage like the other blood bags. Yeah, Roman di
Mate. She was my mate. Adonis howled in my head, not caring about the destruction she was causing around us. Her black eyes never left mine as her lips curved into a smile I knew wasn't one of her kind ones. No, this smile showed two rows of terrifying serrated fangs. Her lips curled at an unnatural angle, reaching her eyes that glowed as she looked down. She drew her hands out and let out another literal earth-shattering scream. The little ground left that I was floating above crumbled beneath me, falling down to the depths of the Underworld where our kind resided. I was too far away from her, and she was definitely stronger than me. She just opened up a portal straight to the Underworld, and if I didn't stop her, this wouldn't end well. Just when I thought I knew what to do, her eyes glowed white, stopping me in my tracks. She floated higher, reached her hands straight above her head, and shot out a blinding light that I could not look at. I watched as the points in the sky where
Sparks. Intense sparks dancing across my skin are the first thing to pull me toward consciousness. I slowly start to come to. My sense of smell is the next thing to come back, and I'm overwhelmed by lavender and bamboo, like Roman's scent, but a million times more intoxicating and potent. It surrounds me like I'm bathing in it. As soon as I realize what's happening, my eyes snap open, and I shoot up. I must startle Roman because he jumps, waking up immediately. The bond snaps into place as soon as my eyes lock with his."Mate," I whisper, my hands trembling for a second.Then I'm instantly overcome with a hunger for him so unbelievably intense. I need him; I will die without him. I jump at him so fast that I barely even realize what I did and smash my lips against his. I growl and push him back when he takes control of the kiss. I look at him, my eyes clouding over with a black hue. "Amara, baby, come back to me," he whispers, running his hand up and down my body and pinching my nipp
