I was happy he was back but angry at the same time. I was desperate to see him, to feel him, at the same time I wanted to run him over with my jeep.
“Where is he?” I shouted the anxiety was chewing at me.
“He just left,” my dad whispered. He was cold and angry. I could see my reaction didn’t please him.
“What do you mean he just left?” I rushed into the living room to check, he wasn’t there but the front door was open. I stood at the doorway staring outside into the dark.
“You told him to leave.”
“How could I when I didn’t even know he was here?” I turned and looked at him. I was scared now. Scared that I wouldn’t see Ash ever again. That he wasn’t coming back.
“You said the person all

“No,” I snapped at him, but it didn’t stop him from pulling me to the couch. He forced me down then lifted my feet onto the table.“Joe, how is she?” Ash’s voice had smoothened out.“We are discussing Baku and Sabrina not my health!” I was still pissed about Ash’s caveman attitude.“She’s fine, so are the twins. Although, she has missed two appointments with her obstetrician,” Joe answered him, looking at me with an amused smile on his face.“Why?” Ash sounded tempered.“That’s none of your concern.” I didn’t want him to know the hell I was in after he left me.“She fell into a deep depression. She almost starved herself to death,” Billy said candidly.“What!” Ash bellowed at me angrily. I jumped, not because of his anger but because of the five hard kicks in my belly. It felt like they were paying me bac

A whole week had passed since Sabrina’s attack and the house was still on high alert. Ash had insisted that we stay home until he was sure Sabrina wasn’t in Florida. My dad stayed with us while Ash and the others left for three days circling the state in search of Sabrina. We expected them back today but even though I knew Ash was coming back, I wasn’t sure if he would be back in the house, in the room next to mine. I woke up every day a few hours after I fell asleep. With Ash back home I found it hard to sleep. He made me anxious as I kept expecting him to come into the room and apologize telling me how much he loved me and holding me while I fell asleep in his arm like he used to. But it never happened. And watching the sunrise each morning thinking of the night we spent on the beach only made things worse. And now that Ash was sure there was no immediate threat, he was letting us out of the safe house to go on with our normal school schedules. It was a distraction that would give

I loved art class. I felt more at ease in this class than all the others. Jonah, she didn’t like been called professor or Mrs. Jonah, was a wonderful teacher. She dressed up more like a goth and a hippie, depending on her mood, than I did. To her, art was who you are, how you feel and the way you dress. It was everything about your life.If Maria saw and heard her she’d have a heart attack and blame my fashion confusion on Jonah.She helped me catch up the few weeks I had been gone. She taught me all the drawing concepts during a private tutorial. She was impressed by how fast I understood everything. She was more pleased that I was one of the most talented students she has ever had in her class. I found that incredulous. Yes, I drew a lot on paper and napkins when I felt bored but I never took it seriously.When the hour was up, I put away my sketchpad and stood at my locker in the art class. We weren’t yet allowed to leave the class with our sketches. She said until we actually draw

“The beach.” Then I realized Ash must be somewhere around watching me. I looked around as we drove hoping I would spot him. I didn’t want him to know where I spent most my time. I knew the girls wouldn’t tell him because I made them promise not to tell anyone the first day I took them there. I couldn’t see him, but I knew he must have been tracking me through the GPS. When we got to a fuller road, I pried the screen out with my pocketknife. “What are you doing?” Josh asked me, shocked. “Making sure we aren’t being followed.” I looked at the wires. They were connected differently. Dad wasn’t joking when he said the car would stop if I tried to cut the wires. “Josh, which of these wires doesn’t look right to you?” “What?” “My…uncle said if I tried to disconnect the GPS again the car would stop.” “Let me take a look at it.” He pulled the car to the side of the road and stopped. “Why do you want to disconnect it anyway?” He took th

“I’m not most guys, and you looked like you needed the company. I heard what Jonah said, I just want to help.” “Thanks. You are taking it much better than anyone else has.” I looked at my watch, three more hours to go. “I take it Ash didn’t take it well. Did you guys break up?” His voice got gentler, like he wasn’t sure if he was right in asking me about Ash. I felt my chest tighten. Hearing Ash’s name and break up in the same sentence was never going to get easy. “Yes.” “The way you two were with each other and the way he hovered around you protectively, I was sure nothing in this world would be able to break you up.” “You and me both.” My voice cracked and I could feel the tears sting my eyes. I blinked them away quickly. I wasn’t going to cry my heart out again, not around Josh, he’d seen enough of how screwed up my life is. I pressed my lips in a tight smile but kept my eyes on my belly. “I would say shit happens, but this is like

I felt a nudge in my belly. I smiled but I didn’t bother to wake up. The twins might be up but I still felt very tired. I turned to my back to give them more space as they swam around hoping they wouldn’t disturb my sleep. I felt another nudge on my right. It was harder this time. I ignored it; I didn’t want to wake up now.“Whatever it is, you’ll have to wait until I feel like waking up,” I mumbled.The kicks got harder, but the ones on the left were softer than the right. Annoyed I woke up. It might be my body but they called the shots. “Baby on the right, don’t blame me if I like baby on the left better.”I pulled myself up and sat on the bed. I felt sicker and more exhausted than I’d ever felt before. This may be usual according to Josh but there was nothing usual about my body. With all that was going on inside me, I was sure my body was having a difficult time dealing with it.“Don&rs

I wasn’t going to feel guilty for dreaming about Josh. Ash left me while he stayed, and no one told him to go nosing around in my head. “I loved you more than enough to go through the constant threats on my life. You didn’t love me enough to stay with me through my pregnancy. Josh is more of a friend to offer to help me, and you want to throw rocks?”“Since you have all that figured out, the discussion on you and I shouldn’t be brought up ever again.” He turned for the door. I watched him, hurt that he would dismiss us so easily.I really didn’t mean anything to him.“Is it so easy for you to forget me? Did you even love me?” I heard the words come out of my mouth but they felt like they belonged to someone else. My voice was sad, lifeless and broken.He stopped and turned to face me.“You are doing just fine forgetting me.” His voice mimicked mine but his was leveled.W

“I do have siblings and my mom’s a nurse. I love them but sometimes I feel like ringing their necks. And we talked babies because it seemed to be the topic which relaxed you.”I shook my head. “Relaxed, I don’t think so. I’m scared out of my mind when I think about it.”“Motherhood will be a challenge but you’ll manage.” He gave my hand a tight squeeze.I looked at him, envious of his oblivion. I wished that motherhood was the fear I was talking about. I was scared I wouldn’t be able to experience it because I died or they died or I’d have to give them up for adoption.“You sound so sure of me.”“Of course I am. You’ve been through so much and you are still standing. You are talented and caring. And you’ll be the coolest mom ever!”I gave him a weak smile. “Mom’s aren’t supposed to be cool.”“You wi

“Felt...” the words died on her lips when a harsh burn scorched down her back. The tattoo there burnt fiercely like a fire razing down and entire forest. She wanted to scream but the only sound that parted her lips was a struggled cry. It hurt, worse than it did the first time she felt it. She felt Samson’s arms tighten around her, holding her stiffened body upright.When it was finally over, she fell into his embrace, her body still buzzing with the painful sensation.“How...?” she choked out.Samson carried her to the couch and sat down, cradling her against his chest. “Merilee is alive.”Merilee? She wanted to ask which one but it was obvious. The only time she felt her magick part from her with such excruciating pain was the night Martha came into her powers.If she was not wrong, Merilee was a few months shy of nineteen... wasn’t this happening late?She shook her head to clear her hazy mi

Lena patted the young boy’s head and gave him a reassuring smile, “You’ll be fine.” He nodded and smiled back, then turned his face into his mother’s chest. A few minutes later he was fast asleep. “Asante,” his mother said, gently holding his broken arm steady on his side. Lena smiled and nodded. Watching the boy turn to his mother for comfort seared a pain through her heart as if a hot blade had been driven through her chest. She missed Martha and Merilee, her two beautiful daughters. But it had been years since they were gone. Merilee died in a car crush as a teenager. She was rebellious, envious and jaded by the fact she was not born first. Lena knew if they could switch places, Martha would happily give her the burden. Lena sighed, Burden? The duties of being born the first daughter from a twentieth-tenth generation faerie had never felt like a burden to her. Granted it felt like a duty

Then everything in the room changed. I felt sick to my stomach. I moved back and put a hand over my mouth. I was aware of everyone, even my twins felt different but more like Ben. I looked at them. For a moment their eyes looked different but I couldn’t be sure. I felt too sick to be sure of anything in that moment. Loud hisses filled the room and then I was standing far away, Ash’s arms around me. “Lee, what’s wrong?” That was Maria’s voice. I felt a hand on my cheek and I knew that was her too. It was human. “I don’t know.” I whispered. “She’ll be fine once this is over.” Ben called out. I looked at him. His eyes had changed. I turned to Joe, his eyes were gold and his grip on Maria was tight. She was tucked into him, her eyes shifting between Ann and me. I leaned my head back against Ash’s chest and bit my teeth together as the back of my neck burned. “Just take a deep breathe,” Ash whispered in my ear. I did as instructed, and with each breath the pain subsided to being be

Three days passed and the house was like a minefield. Maria wouldn’t speak to anyone else but Ben and me. She also never left Ann’s side. She moved all her things in Ann’s room and Ben and I would go downstairs to get her something to eat.Billy felt uneasy staying with Ann. One the guilt of not being able to defend her was eating at him and two Maria made him feel very unwelcomed. But she didn’t care much about justice, or better yet vengeance. She was waiting for Ann to wake up. We all were. The three of us would guess how she’d look like, the color of her fur. But most importantly, how long it would take to subdue her craving for human blood and flesh.Of course we wanted to see the change. No one was looking forward to the pain that would come with it. But mostly, we were waiting for the first thing she’d do once she woke up. Hopefully go for Sabrina’s neck.Sabrina knew it too and it made her very uneasy. She

He pulled away and looked at me, holding my head back so that I looked into his pleading eyes. “I love you, only you. You know that so please don’t doubt my love for you or the twins.”I knew that, but Sabrina was standing in the living room disputing how much he truly loved me.I went to pull away but Ash pulled me back, trapping me in a long desperate kiss.And for the first time, I felt his heart beat in sync with mine. I felt his soul touch mine in a connection that was more than physical intimacy. Every single thing of him intertwined with every single thing of me. We were one and the same.And yet...“How much of an influence does my blood have on you?” I whispered breathlessly on his lips.“Like an energy drink would have on you. And yet it feels like I’ve just kissed the true you for the first time. You feel more a part of me than you ever did before. I don’t think I’ve wanted you

“Aww!” I cried out at the sizzling pain in the back of my neck. It felt like burning larva as it slowly crawled down my neck to the mid of my back. I stayed very still until the pain faded away. What the hell was that?I blinked my eyes open and looked around. I was in my room. Alive, I think.I rose up slowly into a sitting position. When I didn’t topple over I stood up on my feet on the warm floor. I rocked for a second as the room tilted. Once I felt steady enough I walked to the bathroom and pulled open the folding mirror.There was a large tattoo on the back of my neck. How the hell did that get there?Before I could explore further, Ben’s urgent voice filled the room. “Lee, Lee!”“I’m here,” I announced walking out of the bathroom.I saw his face relax and then crease as his eyes filled with tears. He rushed to me, hugging me tight against him.I cradled him, “Hey, I&rs

Five more werewolves shuffled into the room as Baku and Seth made their quick exit.I pulled out of his grip, “Not yet. Hold them off as long as you can.” I ran to Ash and sat next to him. I was close to sobbing when I saw his battered body. He had shrunk to my size.“Lee what are you doing!” Joe demanded.I turned to him, “What I have to.”He made to come near me but Ben stood in his way, “the fight is over there!” He bellowed.“Get out of my way!”“Joe, please,” I begged.“Joe I need you!” Billy yelled. There were five more of Baku’s men in the room. They stood in a circle around Billy and stalked towards him, tightening the circle with each step.“One minute Lee, not a second more!” Joe ordered rushing away.“Ben...”“One and a half... I know.” He answered without looking at me, wo

It took a few more dodging before Ben put me down, a solemn look in his face, “He’s in here.”I walked in, a quiver in each step I took. It wasn’t the hostage room I expected. It was beautiful and could have easily been mistaken for a living room if there was furniture in it. There was only one royal-like chair against the wall sitting on what looked like a very expensive rug. It was probably where Baku sat as he watched his men torture Ash. I felt the rage inside me boil up as I rushed to that chair. All I wanted to do was rip it to shreds!“Lee!” Ben called out to me, his hands on my arms. He turned me slowly, “there he is.”I felt my legs give under me when I saw him. That chained, withered, bloody body on the ground could not be my Ash. He just couldn’t!Ben held me tight against him, “He’s not dead but I can’t let you go to him. We’ll have to wait for Billy and Joe.”
Hiding From My Mate Chapter 107
I pulled off my coat and sat on it. Five more minutes on the cold floor and I wouldn’t be able to feel my ass again.The chains jingled when Ben tagged on them, “maybe this wasn’t a good idea after all.”He was on the other side of the cold dark steel room. Just like me, he’d been chained to the wall but he had six chains on him; one around his neck, one around his waist and the rest on his hands and legs. I only had one, around my wrist. It made sense, how could a little human break a chain used to weigh down anchors!“Can you tell if Ash is here?”He nodded, “I caught his scent when we boarded. He should have been here by now.”I felt relief flow through me, “Why?”He smiled, “Because you are here. Your scent should lead him right to us.”“Why.... do think he isn’t okay?” I stammered under a whisper.“He could be weak and cha
