It made little sense why she stuck out in my mind so much after such a short greeting, but in a city like Salem, she was the only face that remained clear. Which made me wonder if I was missing something. I tried to keep myself focused on the task at hand. A task that didn’t involve Derrick or th
When he got close to me, the secret power that built inside me loosened. Hand outstretched, I grabbed the shifter by his throat and slammed him against the brick alley wall. My eyes were undoubtedly glowing the fierce azure color when I tapped into my power. I didn’t feed off supernatural creatures
The last thing I expected was to end up in an alley with an unconscious shifter behind me, and the man I had ogled over in my shop in front of me. It seemed like my nice and peaceful life had taken a chaotic twist. Maybe most people would have just ran with it, but I couldn’t help but be annoyed.H
“Okay,” the man said slowly. “Well, get her out of here, Tate. We have shit to take care of.”Tate. Was that short for something else?Tate nodded slowly to the man, who quickly disappeared down the dark alleyway to take care of the shifter I had left. Part of me felt bad that the shifter was goin
“What the fuck?”Tate approached me from the shadows as the words passed my lips. A cool smirk played across his plump pink lips. Broad shoulders and a firm build would usually make me swoon, but right now, I was on guard. “Look, I know you're probably confused, but I promise I can explain.” He p
He blinked, my sarcasm thick in the air. I half expected him to snap at me. Maybe change his mind about killing me. But instead, he stared at me. The heat of his gaze caused my stomach to flutter as I tried not to show how much his look affected me.“I guess you could call it something like that,”
“What do you know of Elder Hallow?” His question froze me from the inside out. No one should have known about Elder Hallow. It had been a well-guarded secret for so long, and to hear him—it shook me deeply to know a man who was associated with hunters knew about it.Elder Hallow wasn’t just a place
TatumOnce upon a time, I was someone who acted first before thinking through things. However, I worked years to grow out of my boyish notions to be the man my family needed me to be. Now that I had the chance to fix everything, I fell back into old ways and completely fucked it up.Running my han
“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
