"A little obvious," Pierce's low grumble announces his arrival as he stands next to me, dragging his vision over my attire, "even for you." "And what would you have me dress as?” I keep my vision forward and voice low, “A bloodsucker? Perhaps you wanted me to put on furs and pretend to be your long-lost cousin?” My outfit was expensive, but nothing less would have been acceptable to a man of my stature. Are there any other Minerva’s owl descendants? No, but would anyone connect me with the Cartiers? No. I know my mask comes with risks, but some of us don't have the luxury of being overpopulated. He, on the other hand, could dress in all the half-rabid wolf masks he wanted without worry. Wolves were a dime a dozen and few people have seen his face and lived to tell the tale. “Ah, brother, you only wish you could have half the charm my furry ass does.” Charm. I tried not to scoff out loud at such a ludicrous thing for him to pretend to have. I may love him like a brother, we may hav

"Am I the cause of that blush, Devlin?" Corbyn asks as he puts some distance between us, spinning me with practiced ease before pulling me tightly against him. Trent won't care. He never cared about how close me and Corbyn used to be, but it's noticeable when Corbyn spends our entire dance staring directly at me. I'm not sure if I should be flattered or insulted, but his attention is unnerving, nonetheless. "For someone who can't stand to look at me, you sure are spending a lot of time looking." As soon as the words are out, I regret them. Corbyn likes to take care of me, dress me up like the perfect little doll. But dolls don't talk back. They sit perfectly at all times. They do exactly what you want, and only what you want. "Did you think you were allowed to come tonight for fun?" I blink slowly at him, unsure how to answer that. I know I'm here out of obligation, but does that mean fun is off the table? Apparently. He pulls me in even closer, whispering so softly I strain to

Making a scene would be childish. It would feel amazing but do nothing short of alert Trent to my disgust. No, I need to be smart here. What he'll see is sweet, hurt, loveable Devlin. What he'll get is his own personally curated nightmare. But first, I need to be anywhere that isn't watching them grope each other as if I don’t exist. The problem is that I am exposed here. The man to my left has already disappeared, but there are several men watching my every move. Predators - I’m sure, deadly - guaranteed, but Brixton follows closely as I make my way to the ladies' washroom. A cold grip on my wrist startles me, but not as much as the fact that I'm now outside and staring into the red depths of a handsome stranger's eyes. “A human,” he brushes the hair from my shoulder, “trying to hide amongst monsters?” He cocks his head slightly, his smile widening much wider than friendly as the two pointed tips of his teeth slip over his bottom lip. “A Vampire,” I whisper out, barely abl

Devlin is feisty under all of that calm demeanor and my cock is already constantly throbbing in her presence, but seeing her blood trickle down her neck and watching how she was with the Beta has it harder than it’s ever been in my life. The Beta is going to be more of a problem than initially calculated. I'd heard rumors of his personality changes and ignored most of them because when you're at the top, sometimes you have to be multiple people, but it's on my radar now. He has a soft spot for Devlin. He came out to check on her, even if it ended in insults, and she slapped him hard without immediate consequence, but he's going to pay for laying his hands on her. I'll wait until she's there to witness his fall. Yes, she’ll revel in it with me. I might be a monster, but values are important. Watching her struggle to compose herself is hard to watch, but comforting isn't exactly in my skill set. I was the person nobody could put a face to, the enforcer, the one the Cartiers tu

*** There’s no light, and no way to catch a glimpse of my surroundings when the darkness is never ending. I’m still under water, always under the water, but the weight of it is crushing my chest more than usual. My arms and legs are working together for once as the water glides past me, instead of feeling like a giant weight dragging me into the depths of the river. There're splashes of water around me and I reach out, desperate for my fingers to grip into the mud. As I’m pushed onto the ground, I still have to crawl my way out as the water continues to lap against me. My fingers reach ground that the water isn’t touching and I drag myself up onto the edge. Breath after breath, my lungs are still inflating as much as they can until I'm satisfied I can breathe normally. Scrambling from the edge of the water, everything is still impossible to see through, but I’m unwilling to test if something will drag me back under the water, so I walk forwards into the darkness. This is new

The small gasp that leaves Devlin's lips as she steps out only adds to the swelling problem in my pants. Her eyes are wide as she scans the room, but all she will find is me. She disappears to change and I've already tried distracting myself, but it wasn’t working when she was in another room and it’s definitely not working now that her scent’s floated past me again. I used the blade to slice the skin on my hand over a dozen times. It only stings for a few seconds before the wound closes up and heals, but it's long enough to offer me a moment of clarity, so I slice the blade just one… more… time. His footsteps give him away, but shortly after the key turns in the lock, Corbyn tries to sneak in. He narrows his eyes at me with a tight jaw, but what was this fucker expecting? I heard him coming the moment he made it to this floor. He glances toward the bed, and the anger rolls off of him in waves, but the way he’s looking back at me won’t do him any good. I’m furious too. Not on

Trent presses my face away from him, and the move isn’t a new one. It's always like this. A war with him between his want for me and his need for control. He knows he made me jealous, and if the situation was reversed, I’d be disfigured with dead men laying at my feet. Trent needs to let me go, but he'll never do that, and the look in his eye tells me what it's been telling me for months… I'm in danger. There are still times I feel like the old Dee. I’m head over heels in love with the hazel-eyed boy who was kind to me from the moment he laid eyes on me, and I’m so in love with him loving me that nothing else matters. But more often than not, I'm the present Dee. The Devlin he wants to be the old Dee, because the old Dee ran wild with him. She smiled and never found a single fault in any of his actions. Now, he hates my defiance because it’s directed at him. He hates my beauty because it makes Corbyn and his father look too closely at me. He doesn’t understand why I hate the

Soft, warm pillows cushion my fall and their warm embrace leaves zero room to worry. They’re perfectly formed around me, hugging every curve and dip of my body, as if landing on them was destiny. The fall saved me from that creature, and while I don’t like the new turn of events in my nightmares, if this is how they end, I’ll take it. I moan in bliss, perfectly happy to never leave this nightmare-turned dream, as I press my face further into the pillows, but something shifts against my stomach and stops my movements. Holding my breath, I'm still rising and falling slightly to someone else’s breathing… oh sour skittles…. I'm on top of Trent. I didn't notice it at first, because it's always around, but the grape smell that follows me everywhere is still present as well. Why is he still in the room with us? If Trent is sleeping, I want it to stay that way, just for a moment. I need time to process how I got here, but I can’t remember anything after wishing I died with my family

“You kissed her,” I say and Brixton’s eyes grow lighter, but I’m not second-guessing anything this time. He gave me a chance once. How true that chance was, I’ll never know, but I should have taken it then, and I’m not remaking mistakes when I’m so close. “Devlin, I-” His words are cut short when the knives that were tucked into the back of my dress, are firmly planted in his lower abdomen. He falls to his knees, and mine buckle, but I don’t have a heart left to care… I gave that away when he destroyed it. The light blue in his eyes tries to hold onto me, or maybe it’s me trying to hold onto them… because I’m not planning on ever seeing them again. The tears stream down my face as he clutches onto his stomach, unable to say anything to me, as the grape scent that used to lull me, burns with every step I take as I run from him… …from this room… …from this life. I slide my shoes off as soon as I am through the tree line. The silver blades will buy some time, but not much. But

I was expecting a big finale, a flood of liquid, but all I feel is underwhelmed at the trickle of what the pill had to offer as the liquid slides past my lips to his… and it tastes… good. “Dee,” Trent breathes in confusion, angry as he reaches for me. I step back, expecting him to lunge forward, but he drops to the ground in front of me, grasping onto his throat. “What have you done?” The old man gasps, hurriedly trying all the door handles, in hope one will open, as I watch Trent’s face turn color. The closer his body gets to laying on the floor, the more victorious I feel. I may still die here, but I did this… I killed him. Darcia had her wires crossed. Smart, but dumb. She thought I was the one in the house with a pineapple allergy, that she could take me out and have it look like a fluke allergy, but she just killed the one thing she wanted most. A laugh bubbles up inside of me as I lick my lips, watching his chest stop moving, nothing will ever taste this good. Clap…

Pungent acid rises in my throat as my back presses into Corbyn, and the sounds of me gagging only filter through, as his voice does, "Not in the dress." I spin in his arms, but as I go to find solace in his touch, I find myself pressing against where he's holding me at an arm's length. "You'll ruin your makeup," he says, as if I just unboxed a plant. "You knew," I yell, shaking my head as I try to back up from him, but he grips onto me right before I stumble backward. "You didn't think he would let Gavin get away with trying to claim the prize, did you?" “What are you-” I’m mid-scream when he interrupts me, “A Queen's debt, is a King’s to settle." "How did he even know that, Corbyn?" I step into his space, needing to hear him confirm it, for him to say it out loud… he told him. I can wait all I want here, but the silence from him is exactly what I expected, it’s the calmness that’s fallen over me, that I didn’t see coming. Did I want Gavin dead? Yes. Am I upset that

There are no windows here, by design I'm sure, but the location is gorgeous. The one beauty there is in today, that I'll hold onto. Trent woke me this morning just before lunch, and we left alone, but arrived to pack members already patrolling the area in shifted form. They're surrounding the area, this carved-out piece of beauty just outside of the city, where the trees are high and the greenery is all shades. They look at home here, but the real monsters that make up those wolves, belong anywhere but somewhere so peaceful. Walking into the building was like navigating a maze, but the space for the ceremony has a large window on the roof where the treetops don't reach and the sunlight shines through, lighting the entire room flawlessly. ‘The moon delivered you to me, because you're mine, and I am yours. It's you, and me, always.' When the full moon is on display tonight, it will make for the perfect setting… almost like the kind of wedding girls dream about… almost like I’

Two hours. Sometimes, even though I’m sure I would regret it, I can’t help but wonder what Corbyn is thinking about. Does he feel genuine emotions? Or is he literally sitting there with a blank mind and nothing running through his head? It’s been two hours since he switched places with Trent and he’s done nothing but sit on the chair across from me and watch me. It’s given me time to process what he said, ‘a woman who had an affair with the Alpha… it was my mother… ’He must look a lot like his mother, where Trent looks more like their father.Their… father. He has so many of Gavin’s mannerisms, but those could have been developed from growing up here. It’s impossible to tell if Corbyn is lying, but while he’s never told me the whole truth… he’s never lied to me, either. It would make him the rightful Alpha, Gavin’s first born… and Corbyn doesn’t seem like the type to let that go. I jump a little when there’s a knock at the door, but not him… never him. The Darling’s are the l

His voice fades out as my heart beats faster, her blood thrumming through me… calling out to me. She needs me. And I fucking need her. "You're fucking everything up, Pierce…" Dead. Slice… … spray… … beautiful. His blood is going to spill over this, and when it coats us, Sweetness will bathe in it with me. Oz has no idea who he's fucking with. "...That girl means nothing, she was always part of the plan. Just because you got your dick wet…" The metal restraints I’m in are the only thing that prevents his death, a new instinct I should care to temper, but don’t. He’s lucky I care more about getting to her than I do about him dying. There used to be loyalty there, a barrier between us, but it doesn't exist now, and when my blade slices off feather by feather, he's going to regret crossing me. He's the one fucking everything up. All that time he spent building trust between us as children… wasted in one decision. He excluded me from his plan, making choices with

~~~ Five Days Ago ~~~ The little jumps in his heartbeat tells me he’s awake, not that he’s letting on as he hangs from the chains in this room. Tactical. At least he hasn't lost all common sense. Pierce’s breathing gets longer, deeper, for one count… two… CLANG! When his attempt to break through the chains doesn’t go as planned, his eyes light up, finding mine immediately. I spoke too soon. There's no way he surveyed his surroundings in less than five seconds with enough evidence to act. “Feeling any less inclined to-” “WHERE… IS… SHE?!” His roar does nothing but make that part of me I repress come to the surface. It’s paying attention, but we don’t need the rogue piece of my father’s DNA right now. He subtly leans against the chains one way and another, his face giving nothing away as the silver burns his skin. He can check for weaknesses all he wants, but I prepared this room just for him. He has two cuffs on each wrist and foot, and a collar for added security. It w

He stares down at me, caging me with his palms pressed flat to the wall on either side of me. Corbyn is confusing at the best of times, but right now, the last thing I need is to try to navigate what he’s after. “If you want to kill me, do it already.” I press against his chest and he allows the space for me to walk past him. “Switching Alpha’s now?” He asks casually as my hand hovers over the door handle. “You knew,” I say without turning and there’s a sour taste developing on my tongue, one laced in the knowledge that he’s known this whole time that Gavin killed my family on purpose. He grips my wrist, ignoring my statement, as he drags me into the small bathroom in the room, but thankfully it doesn’t come equipped with a tub. He pulls the hand towel from the hanging rod, getting it wet before dragging it along my skin where Gavin was. He heard… everything. “There was a woman who had an affair with the Alpha. She later died giving birth, despite there being no complication
