64: Like Riding a Horse
Jarren’s POV
I climbed through her unlocked window and shut it back behind me, locking it. I’d told her about leaving that damn thing unlocked. I sat on her window seat and called her again. I’d been calling her for the past three hours. I’d just pushed send when I heard footsteps on the stairs. I immediately knew it was her. Her scent was one of a kind. I hung up as she walked through the door, putting the phone to her ear. She flipped on the light after noticing that I’d hung up and nearly dropped her phone.
I could hear her heart beating a mile a minute as she took a deep breath and closed her door. She turned back toward me with her hand over her chest.

Bitten 65: Flashback in Time
Unknown POV I’d been waiting for him to leave. I knew I should have been staying away, but I just couldn’t. Once he’d finally left, I went to inspect what he’d done to the house. As I made my way over to it, something stopped me about three feet away. I tried to push myself through it, but it was pointless. That leech. He’d put something on the house. Clenching my jaw, I made my way around the side of the house to where her window lay. I needed to be in there, wanted to be in there. I sat outside just listening. She was sleeping soundly, from what I could tell. I became mad all over again at the prospect of being unable to touch and be near her. After a few hours, I decided to go home. There wasn’t much I could do, and I hated that. I made my way to my ‘home’ and walked directly to my room. Sitting at my desk, I begin to come up with new plans. I’ve been working on making her mine for years, and I won’t stop until I’ve accomplished that. I
Bitten 66: Show Her The Sun
Jillie’s POV I shot straight up in bed, my heart beating a mile a minute. My body ached all over. I reached over to grab my phone off the nightstand but paused when I saw the bruise on my wrist. I brought my other hand up, and it housed an identical bruise. Snatching my phone off the table, I dialed Jarren’s number. While it rang, I looked at the clock and saw it was four in the morning. “Hello.” He finally answered.“Jarren,” I stated, and my voice trembled.“Piccolo, what’s wrong?” I could hear the worry lacing his voice.“Something happened.” “What, what is it?” I could barely hear him because there was so much wind.“I’m not sure. I just…” I trailed off. “You just what, baby?” Again I had to strain to hear him, and he sounded so worried.“I saw something horrible, Jarren.”“Come downstairs and open the door.” I dropped the phone on the bed and ran downstairs as fast yet as quietly as I could. I unlocked the front door and opened it. Running out,
Bitten 67: A Day on the Course
Jarren’s POV I was sitting in the car with Ean, headed to play golf. The ride was relatively quiet, but it wasn’t awkward. I stared out the window most of the time, thinking about what Jillie had told me earlier. I then got to witness it. I was able to be a part of her vision. I didn’t know how that was possible, but I didn’t care. I now knew that I didn’t kill Annabelle, but the question remained: Who did? I got out of the car when we pulled up to the golf course. I looked around and saw that most people were dressed in the typical golf fashion. I then looked at myself and Ean. We stuck out like two sore thumbs.“I hate those outfits,” he stated, open
Bitten 68: Practice Room
Jillie’s POV I sat in one of the armchairs in the living room while Elise and Jarren sat on the couch. Needless to say, I was supervising. As I listened to them, it hit me that my sister really was horrible at Italian. She didn’t even understand the basics, and I thought that was ridiculous, considering our maternal grandfather spoke Italian, and Nona used the basics she’d learned from him.“Jarren, I don’t get it,” Elise whined.“That’s because you’re not trying to get it,” I told her.“Piccolo, please,” Jarren stated, looking at me. I simply rolled my eyes.
Bitten 69: Multiple Scents
Jillie’s POV Right before my eyes, I saw another room. On the bed lay a young woman. She was maybe in her early twenties. She seemed to be sleeping peacefully. I couldn’t really see her face. Over by the window stood a man, just like the young woman. I couldn’t get a good look at his face. He stood there facing the woman, staring maybe. It was hard to tell. I heard something bang against the wall and turned to look… The feel of something piercing my flesh brought me back. I looked around and saw that I was in the hospital room I’d been in before. Dr. Reed was removing a needle from my arm.&ldqu
Bitten 70: Progress
Jarren’s POV I was pacing the expanse of my room. It’d been three days since we’d come across that tree. One lone tree. The only thing with that scent. A scent that, with one thought, pissed me off. It still didn’t make sense to me how that could be the only thing with that smell.“Jarren, stop with the super pacing already,” Rian stated. I stopped turning to look at him. I hadn’t noticed I’d been moving that fast. I let out a deep breath and sat on the bed. We were waiting on Mason. He was most likely trying to come up with something to tell Alyx. We still hadn’t included the girls in our search. It donned on me that Alyx would definitely
Bitten 71: Up the Food Chain
Jarren’s POV It seemed it took them forever, but they finally returned, dragging another vampire behind them. “It took you long enough,” I told them.“This crafty bastard is fast,” Rian stated. I rolled my eyes, getting up. “Bring him downstairs,” I stated, leading the way. We reached the bottom of the stairs, and Devlin turned our way. Mason and Rian held the man up in front of him.“Is this him?” I asked.He looked at the man, who hissed at him and nodded. “Yeah, that’s him.”“Sit him in the other chair.” I leaned against one of the tables as they secured him. I crossed my arms over my chest. His scent wasn’t the one I was looking for, either. I watched as Mason took up the spot Rian had occupied earlier. I pushed away from the table and circled Devlin’s chair.“Will you let me go now?”As I made my way back in front of him, I pretended to think about it. “No.”“But, he said if I told you, he’d let me go.”I made my way back behind him.
Bitten 71: Not a Date
Jillie’s POV I closed my locker and headed to the cafeteria. I walked in, and Alyx and Rian sat at the table.“Hey, Aly. Hey Rian.”“Hey, Jillie.” Rian then replied at the same time Alyx said, “What’s up, JJ?”“Where are the boys?” I asked, sitting down.“Oh, so I’m not a boy?” Rian asked.I laughed. “You know what I mean.”“I’m not sure where they are,” Alyx stated.“Me either,” Rian added. I cocked my head to the side at the sound of his voice.“You’re lying.”“I am not.”“Yes, you are. You’re such a bad liar.” Alyx stated. I got up to get myself something to eat. After deciding on pizza, I grabbed something to drink and returned to the table. I brough
