2021-01-11 02:58:18I had a hard time focusing. I couldn’t see. I felt detached from my own body, as if I was nothing but an observer.
My body lay limp on a rocky outcropping. Pine and fir trees huddled around the rocks I lay on. A thick blanket of snow covered the ground and accented the sharp lines of the rocks. Beyond that, a mirage of rocks and trees are displayed before me, white sprinkled around them.
What's happening? Why am I here?
A cold wind whipped through the woods and sliced through the branches like icy knives. I couldn’t feel the cold. I was numb, dulled, trapped in my own body.

By now, Nathan is inches from the vampire, looking at something behind me as if his life depended on it. I turned to see Liam dragging me towards the rest of the pack, all of them changed into wolves just as Nathan is. The deadly intent was only coming from Nathan, but the others had a protective stance.Dimitri looked angry as he glanced between the pack, Nathan, and me. Although Liam wasn't a supernatural like the others, he still held his ground and shoved me behind him. “Well, it looks like my job got a bit harder.”Dimitri lunged at us, but Claire intercepted him, snapping at his leg. He moved in a flash, grabbing Claire's exposed neck and threw her across the forest, colliding hard with a solid pine tree. The long root

I wish I could listen. I wish I could turn around and run, never looking back. I wish I could leave Nathan behind and book it out of here as fast as I could. I wish I could listen to my brother's council and just leave.But I can't.The smoke had started to thin as Johnathan's silhouette disappeared. “Wait, no!” I cried. My aching feet propelled me forward and I stumbled through the dead grass. My feet still burned from the left-over heat forcing its way into my cuts. The smoke thinned more and more as I kept hobbling into the empty night. “Wait! Come back!” I called to his destitute presence.He's not coming back,

I lifted my head to the accusation. In an instant, the film over my mind fell away and reality dawned on me. All? A small group of men emerged from the shadows, all in dark suits. I almost mistook one of the men for Junto, but then corrected myself immediately. This man looked a lot more angry than I believed Junto could ever be. There was a shorter man next to him, his skin so white it glowed in the moonlight. His aged face looked wrinkled and his head was starting to bald from age. Behind them, there was a small group of about five people, but I still felt outnumbered.I felt my body tremble and hugged myself; I feeling more unsure of myself than ever. I averted my eyes, feeling guilty. They already know, I told myself. I stared at the ground, trying to make some of that guilt go away, but instead a s

My mind was jerked awake, but my body refused to stir. All I wanted to do was sleep for the next, like, forever.The hard mattress under my back made me realize something was wrong. My bed back at the house felt like clouds, not a rock. I slowly peeled my eyes open, squinting at the bright light that burned my iris.An old, dusty quilt was laid heavily across my body. It looked like I was in some cheap hotel, but nothing around me gave me confirmation of where I was. Not even the windows, which were covered by heavy curtains.Another frightful thought raced through my head. How did I get here? I thought back to the woods. The last thi

Here is a sneak-peek so you can take a look!Chapter 1 I woke slowly with my head pounding, feeling very disoriented. It was pitch black in my room as I opened my eyes.

Now where was I?

The flames licked up Claire's legs, fire shooting out of her pale hands, fire surrounding her before I could get there. Her piercing screams splitting the air in two, and for the longest moment of my life, I couldn't get to her fast enough.I rounded the burning cafeteria tables and reached out to help her, but only finding a pile of ash in the place she last occupied.There was no way she was gone. She just got away, right?An overwhelming feeling of helplessness sat heavy in my chest as I continued to search for her.

I walked in the door and locked it as I took a deep breath. Without knowing it, I leaned against the door to catch my breath.I tried to wrap my mind around the fact that this man, who I’ve never met before, was chasing after me, yelling at me to ‘stay out of it’—whatever that meant. What was he talking about?Nothing ever happened in my life that was exciting enough to have someone trail me down with threats. People didn't even know my name at school.Without knowing it, I felt myself go to my brother’s bedroom.My big brother and I have

“Wait, so, this guy threatened you, chased you, and then went after your younger siblings?” Claire asked me again.“Yeah, that’s what happened.”“Why would he do something like that? What did you do?”“That’s the thing—I don’t know what I did. It’s like he’s got me confused with someone else.”I grabbed a lunch tray from the line and stood in front of the lunch lady for her to plop the slop on my plate and continued down the lunch line. The food looked like it was moving, so I held it

Unbelievable sparks explode from my mouth as his lips make contact with mine. The whole world around me is tuned out as I solely focus on his kiss. I move my numb hands from my side and to the base of his head. I find his hair, pulling at it and undoing all the work he put into making it look nice. He moves his lips against mine and my toes curl as another set of fireworks set off every part of my body.Nathan pulls back slightly and fear invades my mind. What if he pulls away? I pull my arms tighter around his neck and kiss him back, my entire body on fire from the uncontrollable lightning spreading through my body. Our lips move perfectly together, as if they were made for each other.A low moan escapes from my lips as Nathan

Only an hour had passed by, but my feet were killing me and I was tired of putting on a fake smile.I was now standing in a small circle surrounded by three other couples. They were the future Alphas of their own pack, but they seemed to be only slightly older than Nathan. Ben and Krista were the next for the Blackmoor Shade Pack, John and Angela next in line for the South Shade Pack, and Daemon and Liz inherit the Thornton Shade pack.They were all engaged in some talk about the packs. I realized I knew almost nothing of their way of life. Although Shifters go to these events to find their future mate, an Alpha just has to be eighteen in order to imprint. Not only that, but the Alpha and Luna—male and female leader of the pack&md
Broken Nightmare Chapter 38
Claire may have given me a variety of questions to answer, but I didn't want to reply to any of them. They're not getting worse because I'm improving my skills, but because my lifestyle has changed tremendously, and not in the best way, apparently.Claire sensed I didn't want to talk about it. She let out a long, drawn-out sigh and her tense shoulders slumped against the seat like she was exhausted. “Are you okay to go into the party? I can take you back to the house if you would like.” Hyene asked, her cell phone still pressed against her ear tightly.I thought about the tempting offer. It was safe there, and that was something I needed to feel right now. I could go and write it down to help myself forget about this nightma
