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
Bitten 72: Euphoria
Jillie's POVI grabbed some panties and shorts before letting the towel fall and getting changed. I walked over and stood before him, wrapping my hands around his neck. I leaned in and kissed him, but he didn’t kiss me back. I pulled back and looked at him.“I’ve told you repeatedly to lock the window, Jillie.”I threw my hands in the air. “Again with the damn window.” I walked over and locked it. “Happy now? It’s locked. It really doesn’t matter because someone could always break it.” I told him.“But not without a lot of noise.”I rolled my eyes. “Whatever. Back to my original question. Why weren’t you at school today?”“I was taking care of something.”“Something like what?” I asked sitting on the bed against the headboard.He turned to look at me. “Doesn’t matter.”“Obviousl
Bitten 73: The Way I Could
Jillie’s POV I was waiting on Jarren, and he was late. I was pretty tempted just to drive myself to the party. I sat on the couch and looked at the clock for probably the hundredth time. I was just about to call him when there was a knock on the door. Walking to the door, I was completely ready to be mad at him, but all that went out of the window when I opened the door and saw him. He was standing there in a deep blue collared shirt, which he’d left unbuttoned at the top. He had on dark wash jeans and a pair of white Nike’s. He held six long-stem roses in his hand, and his face housed a smile that stopped my breath; before me was standing a man who was sexier than sin.
Bitten 74: Could Only Hope
Jillie's POVI narrowed my eyes at him. He didn’t know what he was talking about, and I was on the verge of smacking him.“Aaden, you’re the same ‘man’ that sleeps around. The same ‘man’ that has admitted to using women for their bodies. How the hell would you be better for me?”“I only sleep with those girls because I can’t be with you.”“Whatever. This conversation is making my head hurt. Just drop it. I’m happy with Jarren.” I stated, turning to walk away“But for how long, Jillie? There will come a time when he won’t love or want you anymore.”I whirled around, my eyes shooting daggers at him. “Where the hell do you come off assuming that? You don’t know what you’re talking about.”“It’s inevitable, baby girl.”“Then it’s inevitable with you, too, and there’s no
