*****Ivy POVI hadn't expected Hale to be the one to speak up first. In fact, I had expected it to be James, but for some reason, he seemed so unsure as he passed glances with Damian.Giving a reluctant sigh, Damian shook his head and took a seat behind his desk. "Okay.""Okay?" I asked with shock
Deciding to ignore him, though I took James' phone and stared at the photo. "Has Talon been to South Africa?" "What?" Damian replied, "no... why does that matter.""It matters because out of all the plants that you guys are affected by, this one would cause a lot of his symptoms and going crazy is
Ivy POVThe conversation was over. Hoisted over Hales' shoulder, I was carried upstairs towards my room. The swears and curses of my frustration trailed behind us as I made Damian aware of how pissed off I really was."I'm sick of your shit, Damian!" I yelled again before my bedroom door was kicked
Hale's eyes watched me in silence as he processed what I was saying. Slowly stepping forward, he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close, letting his lips brush against mine."I'm sorry, Ivy. I wish there was more we could do, but these are waters we are unfamiliar with. Allison was the
"Whatever… we are stopping for coffee, though, and your ass is buying."Hanging up the phone, I smiled to myself, glad I was able to have Kate as a friend. It was crazy how quickly she and I had bonded, and through everything, she never left my side.Relief flooded me, but beneath it was a mass of n
James POVA few hours later and I couldn't stop pacing the living room. She was planning something. I wasn't sure what it was, but my gut feeling was hardly ever wrong about things. "Would you stop pacing?" Damian sighed as he lifted his bourbon glass to his lips and shook his head. "It's giving me
"Likewise," I replied as I joined him. "Hale, I take it you're going to stay up for a while?"Hale was silent as he read, and a nod was the only acknowledgment that I received. No matter how much he was trying to act normal, I could see the truth. He was far from being alright and that concerned me.
Standing to my feet, he patted my back end gently, causing me to look back at him with a grin. I still remembered what he had told me before about twins and needing to mate together, but after everything I had read about their kind—it was mistranslated.Mating with them together was how I produced a
“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
