#Chapter278BLOODLUSTI sucked the straw until the flask was empty. I breathed exhilarated and wiped my mouth. That definitely helped, I can already feel it. I let my head fall back against the wall and closed my eyes.“I know I said I was going to bring you a vampire, but I hope that did the trick.” Luca chuckled.I hummed and nodded my head.“We don’t have vampires lying around for you to feed on, so don’t get too used to it.” He mentioned as I felt him coming closer to me.I snorted and opened my eyes. I glanced at him from the corner of my eyes and chuckled.“Now you’ve given me blood, I need it regularly.” I took a deep breath and glared at him, “if I don’t, bloodlust will kick in and you’ll all be fucked.”Bloodlust would certainly help in this situation, but without proper anchoring, I would lose myself. It would become about the need to feed, nothing else would matter. There is a chance that I would forget everything, home, everyone, even myself. It is j
#Chapter279SHATTERED HEARTS“You can sit on the bed, you know.” Brody hummed, turning the page of his book.I knew his voice and his name, but I’d never seen him before. As much as Luca repulses me, I’m not blind, I can see how good looking he is. Brody, though, is something else; he’s fucking hot!The longer I stared at him, some strange feelings were stirring inside of me. It feels like my body is buzzing with the need to feel him against me, to see how his body would feel against mine... It was confusing, to say the least.I shook my head to rid the thoughts and took a deep breath.“You’re the one who looked after me, right?” I questioned as I tiptoed over to the bed.I climbed on the bed and leaned back against the wall. He turned his book upside down and set it down on his outstretched leg. He took a deep breath, before letting it out slowly.“Yeah... I was.” He murmured.“Are they forcing you to do this?” I asked, because he looked nervous as hell.
#Chapter280OUTDATEDIt’s been a few days since Luca brought me to Brody’s room. I haven’t fed on him yet, I’m too nervous. I have a few more days until I would need it, so I’m going to drag it out as much as possible. The reason I’m nervous is because of the tension between us, it’s undeniable... If I’m not watching him, he’s watching me.We are getting closer. My nightmares are slowly dwindling away, but when I do have them, Brody keeps them at bay. Being close to him settles me.Now I’m not constantly strapped to a bed, I’m not sleeping as much, and my strength is getting stronger every day. I’m never bored here, there are so many things I can do. If I’m not with Brody, I’m with Luca, and there are mountains of books and a television to keep me occupied. Plus, I’ve been allowed to shower; there’s an en-suite bathroom off the room.The room is laid out like a hotel room; I guess I’m in an old hotel.I still don’t have my wolf. When I ask Luca when she’s going to ret
#Chapter281PLAN OF ACTION“Where are we?” I questioned, glancing over at Brody, “Are we still in Devon?”I was laid on my front on the bed. Brody was sitting at a desk opposite the bed, scribbling something on a piece of paper. He’s planning our great escape. Since telling me yesterday he was getting me out of here, he’s been working out a way to get out of here.“No, we’re in Los Angeles.” He remarked, still writing.“California?” I blurted, “you took me out of England?”He tensed as his head jerked in my direction, “no, not me. I-”I raised my hand, shaking my head, “I didn’t mean you.”I huffed, dropping my head onto my arms. I’m miles away from home. No wonder my family hasn’t been able to track me, but knowing this gives me more motivation to actually leave and let them know I’m okay.“So, what’s the plan of action? When are we getting out of here?” I inquired, laying my head on a side on my arms and glancing at Brody.“Once I know that, I’ll let you
#Chapter282UP CLOSE AND PERSONALOnce I had a shower, I had to raid Brody’s drawers looking for something to wear. I didn’t have any clothes, so I opted for a pair of his boxers and a plain black t-shirt that fell just above my knees, so I was covered.I’m curled up in the bed, hoping to pass the time waiting for Brody to return. I chose a random book, needing something to distract me. All I can think about is what will happen when he gets back. We’ll be feeding on each other... up close and personal; a very intimate experience.I fluffed the pillow behind me and slouched down in the bed, picking up the book. I opened it up and started reading ‘How To Kill A Mockingbird’. Brody has a good taste in books.“Alora, sweetheart, wake up.”I opened my eyes slowly and yawned. I rubbed my eyes until I could see properly. Once I was out of the sleepy trance, I saw Luca sitting beside me, holding the book and flicking through it.“How are you feeling, my love?” He asked, st
#Chapter283DESIRESBrody halted with his forehead rested against mine. His eyes were screwed, he dragged in quick shaky breaths, and I could feel his body trembling.“Alora,” he whispered breathless. “We can’t.”I nodded and lifted my legs and held on to his shoulders to remove myself from him. I know he’s right, I know we can’t, but it doesn’t stop the sinking feeling settling in the pit of my stomach.His hands went straight to my waist, holding me against him, and sighed.“I want to, believe me, I really want to.”I averted my eyes from him and sucked in a breath. He curled his finger under my chin and raised my head gently.“Alora, if we kissed, it could have gone further. Your bond with Luca has formed, he would know, he would feel it,” he took a deep breath, closed his eyes and then exhaled slowly. “I won’t risk your life.”“I know, I understand. I’m so-”Our heads whipped round to the door as someone tried to open it. I glanced at Brody with a pani
#Chapter284ALIVE“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”“Luca,” Brody snarled in warning, “she’s feeding.”“Why has her scent changed? And why are you so close?”I felt Brody glance over my head, keeping me close to him. When I tried moving back, he pulled me closer.“Feeding can cause feelings, Luca... Feelings that are unwanted.”I bit down a little too hard at his statement. He gripped my hair tight, but not enough to hurt me as he tugged my head back a little.“Shush, not so hard, little wolf,” he whispered, barely audible.I sagged against him and retracted my fangs, but kept close to him so I didn’t have to deal with Luca.“Don’t touch her, Brody.” Luca growled before I heard the door slam.I leaned back with my eyes closed and took deep breaths. I felt alive, I felt better than I have in ages. I was stronger, I could feel it.“You can feed now.” I sighed, pulling away from so we weren’t touching anymore.If he doesn’t want to feel thes
#Chapter285PLAN INTO ACTIONI pulled on the hoodie that Brody tossed me and smiled at him. He told me to choose some of his clothes, because it’s going to get cold. I didn’t have the heart to tell him that when I get my wolf back, all my senses and everything that comes with being a werewolf will come back. I won’t feel the cold, but it was a nice gesture and I appreciate the thought.“I’m going to bring Callie with us,” Brody hesitated as he shoved clothes into his duffel bag, “I can’t leave her here with them.”“Of course, I wouldn’t expect you to leave her here.” I replied. “How old is she?”“She’s five.” He answered.I smiled, “aw, my brothers are her age. She’ll have someone to play with.”He stared at me, wide eyed and mouth open slightly. I chuckled at his reaction and shook my head.“Corbon and I aren’t the only hybrids,” I explained. “When I told you about my family, I may have left out that my younger brothers are hybrids too, oh and my cousin, but he
