A day had gone by, and without trouble from Damian, I fell back into a normal routine. Even Hale, Talon, and James had made their apologies and explained their wishes to start over and form a better relationship with me. No way did I hold back on showing them how upset I was. That leaving someone i
The rest of our conversation was filled with light humor about what happened on her trip home, and how she wants to bring me back to meet her family sometimes.The idea of going to visit was not a bad one to have. She didn't live far from my mom, and to be honest, I wished that my mother was with me
Ivy POVDid he take Caleb's mate?The question swirled like a rollercoaster through my mind. And what did he mean she died?A dull ache in my head began to grow like a rooted tree that refused to give up. My flight response kicked in and without waiting another moment, I forced myself to walk away f
"Don't do that!" I exclaimed."Sorry," she replied sheepishly. "I had to come to see what you were doing. You're being odd.""That's because I AM odd." I retorted rolling my eyes."Yeah, that's true. But it's more than usual."Mandy was a sweet girl, but for some reason, she seemed off to me. The f
Ivy PovBreathing heavily through my nose, I exhaled in annoyance. Damian had brought me to his car in the parking lot and wanted to take me home to explain. All of which I wasn't having."You can explain here," I replied, crossing my arms over my chest.His jaw tightened, and his muscles tensed. Fo
He had done something with her, and in turn, she thought they could be more.Poor Caleb. To think the man had a chance of a mate and lost it because Damian was the center of her attention. In a way, it wasn't entirely his fault. He couldn't have expected them to be mates, or at least, I hoped he di
The wind wailed against the darkening sky, making those around aware of the approaching dangers. It was going to be the most unpleasant of days, but they say through the darkness one will always find a light. Or something like that.Caleb's car pushed through the approaching rain towards his home.
"Oh, my sweet dear, Ivy." He replied shaking his head, "I didn't want things to be like this. Honestly, I thought you were warming up to me. Then Damian made the spectacle he did today, and I knew I couldn't waste any more time.""What?" I cried out in pain and confusion. "Please... I don't understa
“Thank you for taking care of him,” she muttered. Tatum rolled his eyes behind her as if unable to believe perhaps that she was saying what she was. The entire situation caused the heat of embarrassment to rush over my cheeks as I cleared my throat.“It’s no problem…but I’m pretty sure it’s he who
“Excuse me,” a soft voice said from the door catching both of our attention. “I heard that.”Cassie stood before us in a long light-blue gown encrusted with gems. Her long hair was in curls half up on her head as the white silver leafed crown sat glittering on top. She looked so far different that
TaylorWhen Tatum came crawling back into the room somewhere near dawn, I’d been wary of where he had gone. I had awoken to an empty space in the bed next to me, and no word as to where had disappeared. Though, when he had come back and told me that I was to head off to the Fae realm in the morning,
She leaned forward, a thoughtful expression adorning her features. “You know the complexities of the realms, the obligations and duties that bind us. I know you love her and you want her to stay, but things aren't that easy, Tate. We need her there. We need her to help fix things before the girls ri
TatumI hadn’t expected Brina to show up at my door looking for answers. At first I was annoyed that my sister would overstep boundaries in order to make things happen between Brina and me. Of course, I was head over heels for this girl. My heart slowly slipped into a bliss like state of happiness
I didn’t need time to think about what he asked. The answer would always be, “Yes. A thousand times, yes.”Time seemed to stand still as our hunger for each other turned into a fury of torn clothing and touches. His hands roamed my body, gripping and grabbing as I pleaded with him to please me. To
Panic filled me with his question. Yes, I had rehearsed what I was going to say, but now that the moment presented itself I was acting like a fool. My mind was completely blank when it came to the plan I was going to stick to.“Uh, well…I wasn’t sure about the customs of the Fae. I was going to ask
Standing outside Tatum’s door, my heart pounded in my chest. The hallway felt suffocating, the air heavy with anticipation. I had rehearsed the words I wanted to say a hundred times, each time hoping to find the courage to confront the man that had helped me recover who I was. A man who helped me to
Taylor Settling into the plush light-blue armchair in Cassie’s room, I took in the grand splendor of the apartment-like suite around me. The decor spoke of royalty and sophistication, with gilded accents and rich fabrics adorning every surface. The soft glow of candlelight flickered, casting an et
