Carena: “I do. I was just confused,” I laughed awkwardly, scratching the back of my neck.“So, it is not a bad idea to act normal with him. If you can make him open up and stop him from killing people on the full moon, I guess the ritual or whatever he is planning would be dismissed. We need to break the chain. He must not kill on these full moons,” he was speaking so softly as if he was also scared Sawyer might hear us.“I get what you are saying. He is asking me for a honeymoon, what should I say?” I inquired because I guessed that would be a good idea to keep him away from the full moon.“Honeymoon, that will be too risky for you. I don't know if I will be comfortable thinking you are alone with him and--what if he hurts you,” the hesitation in his voice at the idea of our honeymoon made me smile.I was not feeling anything towards him, just laughing inside at him for wanting me to get comfortable with Sawyer but then being against the actual idea of it.“Don’t worry, I will be fi
Carena: “Please leave me alone.”Her words had been echoing in my mind ever since I returned to my room. Sawyer had finished his soup but was so drowsy that he dozed off. After taking my shower and finishing my routine, I too headed to bed. However, I couldn’t sleep. Yamin was on my mind, and so was Payton.I was concerned for Payton. What if Matt had done something to her?“Someone is definitely making her do things she seems to be coerced into,” I said to Arena, my gaze shifting to the sleeping Sawyer.“If he finds out, he’ll tear them apart,” Arena replied. As she spoke, my eyes drifted to Sawyer’s lips, which were naturally red and so soft. I had to close my eyes to avoid dwelling on them.“Are you sure he is the killer?” Even after hearing his confession, Arena’s nerve to bring it up again made me frown.“I’m not saying this without reason. I know you’re wondering,” she quickly clarified.“Then why are you asking a question that has already been explained?” I wanted it to be a l
Carena:Sawyer left for work after having breakfast with me, while Payton skipped her breakfast as usual. She had asked for some time from her family to heal, but I knew she wasn’t healing at all. She was going through something and was either too ashamed or too afraid to tell anyone about it.Lunch time arrived, and Sawyer informed me that he would be gone for the day. So it was pretty much just me and his family, who seemed to dislike me.“Ginny will be returning to do Sawyer’s chores starting tomorrow,” Lady Jane announced as she found me in the kitchen and decided to bother me.“Okay, that will be fine,” I replied, feeling oddly secure about Sawyer not wanting anyone else. I shrugged it off. Initially, I had a feeling that Sawyer and Ginny might be involved in something behind closed doors, but that feeling had faded.“And you’re not jealous?” Lady Jane smirked, making me roll my eyes at her in disbelief.“Exactly how old are you?” I asked, finding her smirk irritating. She grunte
Carena:I grabbed a sweater and put it over my pink silk nightdress before slipping on my shoes. I didn't have time to take anything else with me because I needed to hurry and follow her. My heart was pounding in my chest as I watched her leave the mansion. Since she used to party a lot previously, she was allowed to leave."What if we’re not allowed?" I groaned, remembering how controlling Sawyer had become.“Give it a try,” Arena said. I nodded and reached the gate.The guard frowned at me as he noticed my state. It was obvious I was wearing a silk gown.“Payton left?” I looked around, acting disappointed, then checked the time on my phone as if I were late.“Yes, Your Highness. She left a minute ago,” he replied, his eyes still scanning me.“Oh Goddess, she was supposed to take me along. What the heck! I don’t even know the address,” I stamped my foot, acting anxious and frustrated.“Ma’am, the driver can follow her car, or you can ask her to give you the address,” he suggested sof
Carena: There was absolutely no way I was going to let these filthy people do that to her. They will not only ruin her life but hurt Sawyer too. I wouldn’t let that happen. “Get up and take off your clothes and then get on your knees on this couch. He wants to try anal first,” the old woman hissed at Payton, who steadily got up but started shaking even more. “Give her something to drink to ease up her muscles. I want her in her full swing,” the old man said and the lady nodded.“Okay honey,” she replied and went to grab a glass for Payton. So they were mates and the woman was supplying young girls to her filthy pig of a man?“I don't want to drink,” Payton uttered.“You better,” the old man reached her hastily and grabbed her head from the back of her hair. It was at this moment that I knew I needed to take action.So I jumped out from behind the wall and pushed the man off Payton. Her eyes seemed to have bugged out when watching me.“Carena!” she uttered my name miserably, instantl
Carena: “Carena, let’s go,” Payton shook my arm to get my attention. I had been sitting on the ground with Mr. Pitt’s body for Goddess knows how long. I had never done anything like this before. But I killed someone, and now I was covered in his blood.Payton had grabbed the laptop while trying to shake me awake.“We need to leave, please. His wife ran away, and what if she returns with more people?” Payton was shaking me constantly, and I could hear her clearly, but my body didn’t want to react to her.“I killed him,” I turned to her and said, tears forming in my eyes.“Because he was going to harm us,” Payton wrapped her arm around my body and forced me to get up, but I fell on my knees again.“Take this and leave. It is raining outside and soon the morning will arrive. We need to leave,” it was Payton who made me realize we had been in this house for many hours.She was busy cleaning our fingerprints, but I didn't think there was anything that could be done. Mrs. Pitt would take a
Carena:I have been in my room ever since I returned in the morning. I could not leave, even when I tried. It was like every time I attempted to think of something else, flashes of me stabbing that man and his blood splattering everywhere would invade my mind.I was getting paranoid too. Every few minutes, I felt like I would open my eyes and find that old man on top of me.The door to my room was open, so Payton walked in, probably after she had taken a nap.“Payton, why the heck did you go there?” I didn’t even wait and sat up, questioning her in frustration. Why the heck would she get herself into trouble like that? Has she not learned a lesson from her past mistakes?“I didn’t mean to,” she said, sitting down on the bed, her head down and her hands clenched together.“When Matt humiliated me and rejected me, I felt so bad. I was angry at the moon goddess for making him my fated mate. It was always like that. She is sleeping somewhere and we are suffering,” she hissed, her jaw clen
Carena:"I killed someone," I repeated to provoke a reaction from him.He shifted his position in bed, gently cupping my face in his hands and looking me in the eye. "Did that person harm you?" he asked."He was about to," I mumbled, tearing up and sniffling a little. I had a wolf who seemed unafraid of anything, but the moment Sawyer appeared in my view, we both felt like frightened kittens craving his support and attention."I'm glad you killed him. Otherwise, I would have fucking tortured him until the moon goddess herself appeared and begged me to stop," he whispered. After staring into his eyes for a few seconds, I freed my face only to press my body against his. I hugged him and sobbed like a miserable little wolf, and the way he patted my back to comfort me made me feel so much better."But I still killed someone. I'm a bad person, Sawyer!" I continued, while he ran his hand through my hair to calm me down."You are not a bad person. You can never be, no matter what you do." Hi
