Tie can't get a break. And who were the voices he heard? And those playing cards need therapy or something cause that isn't okay.
“Well, that was bullshit. Why did we have to come back here? Crista wouldn’t explain, just said not to question and go with what’s his name.” Persephone groaned as we entered the villa. I don’t know if I can tell her the reason, probably not if Crista wouldn’t tell her. “They’ll tell us when they can. For now, we just chill here. It’s not the worst place to be stuck. We have a theater room, a pool, and food.” I assured her. “MOVIE! I want to pick.” Regina grinned, latching onto the thought of the theater room. At least someone’s excited about being stuck at the villa. I just hope her excitement can distract the Fayte sisters. “That sounds relaxing. Can we have snacks too?” Delilah questioned, letting Regina’s infectious smile and happy temperament change her focus. “Of course, you can. Why don’t you all go look through our vast movie collection.” I suggested shooing them off. “Zoe and I will see about getting snacks ready.” “This way.” Regina happily led the Fayte sisters to the t
I groaned, feeling groggy. It was like waking up after a night of excessive drinking. It may be more challenging for a werewolf to get drunk, but damn have I tried. My head was throbbing, my tongue tasted like ass and sand - no, you can’t ask why I know what either of those things tastes like, and every part of me was tingly. Not a fan. Two thumbs down and half a star. That half star is only because I’m still alive. “About time you woke up.” August snorted. I blinked and ignored all the pain as I shot up at the sound of his voice. It was weird because it wasn’t coming from inside my head. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing as I saw August sitting in front of me. We aren’t in my mind. Well, I guess we are, but this is different. “August? Is that you? Or is the Shit Witch fucking with me? She’s kept us apart, so why show me you now? It has to be a trick. Of course, it’s a trick. Fucking bitch. Her minion playing cards already drugged me and….” I rambled before quickly unzipping my p
I tried to pay attention to The Notebook, but even Ryan Gosling couldn’t take my mind off that wolf and the two men I’ve seen since last night in my dreams and now even when I’m awake. And that’s saying something. I do have a thing for Ryan Gosling. Everyone else seemed to have settled in to watch the movie. I’m glad to see Delilah and Regina getting along. With everything going on, making a new friend in my little cousin will be good for the youngest Fayte sister. Delilah seems like a sensitive girl, so all this can’t be easy on her. “Oh. Luna, welcome back.” Zoe greeted, sitting up, turning her head as Crista entered the room. Leave it to the only one in the room with an awakened wolf to know not just that someone walked in but who. “You don’t need to call me that. I’m just Crista.” Crista waved her off. I frowned because taking note of her posture and the tone of voice she used. What did my Papa, no scratch that, what did Chesed do now? “Crista!” Delilah hurried to escape her bl
Zoe and I shared a look, probably both picturing the scene. I hope Persephone got a few good hits in. Gianpaolo needs to be taken down a peg. And him getting his ass kicked by a fifteen-year-old sounds perfect. “And you left her to go have sex with I don’t want to know who.” Papa’s eyes narrowed at my brother. “He better be mateless, or you are both in trouble.” André held his hands up. “He was mateless. You know I would never. And I didn’t think Gianpaolo would cause such a scene.” he sighed. “Good. Don’t let it happen again. Any time Crista or one of her sisters leaves this home, someone from this family is going to be with them.” Papa instructed, turning back to the stove. “Seriously? We need babysitters?” Persephone scoffed. Does she not fully grasp the seriousness of what’s happened? Her Alpha heir is dead, and Ignazio demands Crista and her sisters are turned over to him. Incubi is going to war to protect the Fayte sisters. “You aren’t part of our pack. People will see you a
Fight my way out? Yeah, easier said than done. Seriously, that old witch gave me next to nothing to work with. She may have told me a lot, but she just left me with more questions. Like what the fuck does she mean Crista could alter the course of all werewolves in Sicily and possibly the world? I mean, sure, I knew Crista was unique when she first shifted, and Emilia was white. White wolves are super rare and usually very powerful. But for Crista to have that big of an impact? What the hell is up with that? And as if I didn’t already feel like a clock was ticking, she just made that clock a timer. I’m dying. Let me repeat that, I AM DYING! If I don’t get out of this damn nightmare soon, I will DIE! That’s a great note to leave me with. Wonderful chat and pep talk. The old bitch needs to work on her people skills. Not to mention how much should I trust her? August said I should trust her, but how sure am I that he was himself? So much about this place is someone’s construct. And she
With the plan in place, everyone got up from the table, ready to leave. My brother took the initiative to rush upstairs. I could have gotten Crista and Papa their change of clothes, but of course, André wanted to look at Crista’s new wardrobe. “We’ll meet you at the hospital,” André called out as he hurried down the stairs with a small bag. I’d gotten the younger Fayte sisters closer to the garage, wanting to give Crista and Papa space. “Bye.” Delilah waved as Persephone tugged her to the garage. At least she’s on the same page as me. Crista is uneasy about shifting in front of Papa. And I’m sure Chesed will not make it any easier on her. They deserve some privacy. “Night, Zio! Night Luna!” Zoe and Regina waved as they went out the front door. My phone buzzed about a minute after I got into the front seat of André’s car. Zoe: Follow up with the Crone. Zoe: Your visions most likely have something to do with this Delta heir. We need to know what they are about. Keep me in the loop.
“Please forgive my sister, Beta heir. My sister isn’t trying to disrespect you, this place, or the laws your Alpha upholds. Emotions are just running high after everything that’s happened.” Delilah apologized while explaining Persephone’s perspective. Alexander’s eyes softened as he looked down at Delilah. Oh, what a development. “I understand, or I’m trying to. I am sure if the roles were reversed, I’d be losing my temper, too.” Alexander nodded. “Then let us in to see him.” Persephone folded her arms. “We can’t do that without approval from our Alpha,” Silvano interjected. My left eye twitched. It was getting hard to contain the urge to knock him out. “Then it is a good thing we have arrived,” Papa’s voice called out, getting the attention of everyone. “About damn time.” Persephone snorted. “If you are looking for my mark, it’s not there. Nothing happened that you seem to have in your mind. I recommend getting it out of the gutter, piccolo melograno.” Papa sighed. I knew they h
This fucking maze! I’m getting lost even using the paint to mark where I’ve been. I keep finding myself doubling back over paths I’ve already taken. It wouldn’t and probably shouldn’t surprise me. This may be my mind, but that damn Shit Witch is pulling the strings. It’s starting to drive me nuts. Or maybe I was already nuts. Both are possible. I can’t tell without August. And we are back to the fact that I NEED to get the FUCK out of here. I need August back. I can’t even think straight without him. “GODDESS FUCKING DAMN IT!” I screamed, throwing the paint can on the ground as I once again found my damn arrow pointing the way I just came from. I slumped to the ground, both hands in my hair, tugging the strands in frustration. This is wasting time, time that I don’t have. Outside this mental prison, my body is dying. I need to get out of here if I want to live. And let’s not forget if I don’t get out of here, I can’t help Crista. She doesn’t even know that the Shit Witch is invo
