" How come no one else is here " I notice .
" T.. that's probably why " Michael points to the fireplace as we walk down the stairs and I follow the direction of his gaze .
There was a little girl squatting in front of it , even though there wasn't any fire lit at the moment.
The thing that bothered me wasn't this . It was the fact that her body completely glistened under the light , and it was entirely transparent . We could see through her .
She's a ghost ?
I almost trip and tumble down the stairs but Jace steadies my waist with his hands causing sparks to fly . I grab the railing for support and walk down . The whole time , Michael is gawking at what he sees . I'm afraid he'll fall too .
" What in the fuck - " Michael stares .
" This is a dream right ? " I rub my eyes and blink a few times but she's still there .
" You're a vampire . We are werewolves . Is the existence of ghosts really that shocking ? " Jace co
The next morning I lazily get up , purposely pushing it even though I was awake . I keep my eyes closed and force myself to sleep more , turning over possibly a hundred times . Soon enough I give up and get up from bed .I check the time .9 am.Not bad . I thought it would be 11 am by now .By the time I shower and get ready , it's 11 . I decide to wear a baby blue tank top with dark blue jeans , finishing the look off with my comfortable beige sandals ." Perfect timing " I mutter as I hear the knock on the door . I head over and open it .I stare at Jace standing there . He was wearing a navy blue T shirt with black jeans . All of his shirts seemed to be skin tight and body hugging . Not that it was a bad thing at all , but it was particularly distracting . It made me want to run my hands over his shoulders , feeling the firm muscles underneath . His sleeves were hugging his bulging biceps . I looked at his f
" We need to lose the dude and approach the woman . " I remind them . Clearly the little girl was incredibly scared of the man and I didn't want to talk to the woman in his presence , at least not until I figured out the whole story . We don't know what's going on behind the scenes so it's better to play safe . " How are we going to do that ? " Alec wonders . I get into my thinking mode , which isn't as useful as it should be . I can't think of a way to separate both of them . " I have an idea . " Jace smirks and I look over at him curiously . Jace motions to one of the workers and calls him over to us . Making sure that his voice is out of the couple's hearing range , he mutters .. " Drop this drink on the woman over there . " He says , handing over my milk . Wait a second . Why does my milk have to be sacrificed for this deed ? What about the plethora of drinks present on the food serving table
I don't dare to fall asleep . Better yet , I can't fall asleep would be a more accurate representation of what I'm going through . I am not used to insomnia , usually I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow . After all , sleep is the only escape that I have from the real world . I can finally experience calmness and peace , something I stuggle with in my day to day life . That's no excuse though . I can't sleep away all of my problems . And it seems that in this generation , no one has known peace , I'm not special . I sigh and turn , desperate for a little nap before it hits 2 am . I check the time . It's only 11 PM . Are you kidding me ? I'm supposed to overthink for another 3 hours before it's time ? I whine and shove my face into the pillow . I remember the last time I slept extremely well . It was definitely the first night that we got here , I slept in his strong and large arms that enclosed me , made me feel tin
Sleep is everything . ' Our houses, our bedrooms—even our beds—are littered with beeping, vibrating, flashing screens. It’s the never-ending possibility of connecting—with friends, with strangers, with the entire world, with every TV show or movie ever made—with just the press of a button that is, not surprisingly, addictive. Humans are social creatures—we’re hardwired to connect. Even when we’re not actually connecting digitally, we’re in a constant state of heightened anticipation. And always being in this state doesn’t exactly put us in the right frame of mind to wind down when it’s time to sleep. Though we don’t give much thought into how we put ourselves to bed, we have little resting places and refueling shrines all over our houses, like little doll beds, where our technology can recharge, even if we can’t. ' This is why humans have trouble sleeping . And It turns out that women need more sleep than men .. So when Jace tries to sha

If you would simply like a short review of the chapter , please scroll to the end for the summary. # " Mommy's gone for a meeting today . So let's have fun , just the two of us . Alright ? " The dad , whose name I somehow know in this weird bend in the space time continuum , tells Alice . " Are we going to play a game ? " She asks excitedly . "Sure . That too . But first , let's go take a shower first . " He says with a wide smile that makes me more uncomfortable than I'd like to admit . It was a strange view . There was some static , some voice changes here and there . But overall it had similar characteristics of a dream , except that it was too realistic to be one . The facial features were realistically etched and the environment was detailed out . It was more like a slightly blurred past memory that you try to remember i
Nobody spoke a word . They let the sobbing woman deal with the police officers and watch as they took Jared away . The accidental death would now be converted to a murder case . No one decided to say anything , not even to comfort the woman . After all , what can you really say at this point ? I'm sorry your husband raped your daughter ? We say nothing . It's rude but saying something is also inappropriate . I don't mind seeming rude , I'd rather give people their own space when I know they need it . I wanted to at least say goodbye to Alice . I wanted to tell her how sorry I was that she was born into such an incredulously revolting world . I was sorry for what she went through . Who knows how many girls go through similar things ? Despite the many things I wanted to say to her , I knew that I'd never see her again . After sharing her story and knowing her mother knew the truth , she seemed to be at peace . She exchanged affectionate words an
Here I was worried about encountering something that would make me regret even coming out of my room . Yet after an hour of roaming the place , all the floors , the burner next to the dining hall .. Possibly almost everywhere . We found something astonishing . Absolutely nothing . My mouth straightens into a line and I blink dramatically a few times . " Well there's an hour off my life that I'll never gain back . " Jace gives me a look . " You're immortal . Does it matter ? " I scoff . " Considering the mess we are constantly getting ourselves into , I doubt I'd stay alive even till my birthday . " I was only half joking . He growls loudly , I would be concerned about him waking up the entire hotel but then again , this place is dead so .. growl away mister big bad wolf ? " Say that again , I dare you . " He glares at me .
" Take them off . " I plead . " Take what off ? " He nips at the edge of my shorts teasingly . Looking at me through the hooded view of his dirty blond hair that fall in front of his eyes . " My shorts . Your tie . Everything . " I say breathlessly , causing him to chuckle . He gets out of his binds in an instant and rips my shorts off before I get a chance to react . He growls threatingly with a dangerous smile . " Giving me permission was a mistake ." He towers over me and licks his lips staring down at me . I gulp . He kisses me deeply and passionately as his hands move along my waist up to my breasts , leaving tingles and shivers wherever they go . I want him to touch me more . He lightly grazes my skin with his hands , continuing his nipping at my lips . He teasingly brings his hand up to brush against my nipple and then brings it down till the waist , leaving traces of desire wherever he failed to touch for long.

" They are healing up nicely " the pack doctor tells me and I sigh with relief . I'm glad we decided to ask a neighbouring pack doctor for help ( Alpha Reiner ) . Apparently , Dianna .. I mean , Mom , was successful in convincing him after all and he doesn't seem to have a problem with her meeting me anymore as long as she doesn't come close to Dracula in the slightest . The pack doctor was a good call , those injuries were not my cup of tea at all . Michael was pacing around outside the room the whole time . The guilt was eating him alive . He was with Michelle at the time and his phone was outside their room . I don't blame him and I'm honestly glad that he wasn't there when it happened . Because then what happened to Alec could have happened to him as well . I blame myself for what happened to Alec . I was the one who called him , I should have just went myself without him . I'm the reason he's human now . ' Thank you . ' he had told me .
I see Noah entering the cottage as he goes to take a seat on the living room couch ." How did you frame her ? " I question ." It isn't hard for a powerful witch to use an element . " she says simply as she gets up and puts the leftover tea in the sink. " Enough with the questions .. a little birdie told me that you have exactly what I'm looking for . "I look away ." What are you talking about ? " I ask innocently ." Aren't we past pretending ? The channeling device , I know you have it . I saw it . With great power , you get a fraction of seer like abilities , if you know how to use them " she purses her lips , making her slight wrinkles more evident than they were before ." I have no clue what you are referring to . " I shrug . " I think we are done here . " I stand up slowly .What would happen if she used the dagger to steal Jace's essence . Would he die ?" Sit down . " she says calmly and I feel a force dragging me ,
" Since when ? " I questioned her as I stood a good few feet away from the bed ." The beginning . " she admits ." You were a lackey for my mother since the moment you met us ? " I ask incredulously ." Of course not . It was the next day that your mother approached me . I knew about the existence of supernatural beings , I just didn't know that you were one . "" Until she told you and asked you to spy on me . " I sigh and put my hands on the temples of my cheek in disbelief . This whole time then , our friendship was fake . She didn't care about me , she was just doing her job ." I needed the money for my family . " she says quietly ." I don't care anymore , Kayla . It's fine . " I say simply , taking a few deep breaths .After Aeron , I didn't think I'd find another best friend , I .. was starting to think of Kayla as my best friend even if she was a human , I was going to make it work somehow .I wanted to make it
" What do you want ? " I ask dryly , not making my strong emotions evident ." I just wanted to see you . " She breathes out as if taking it all in . Her hazel eyes water just the slightest and I almost give in ." You didn't see me for 18 years so why now ? "She looks inside the room .Hell no , I'm not inviting her in . I don't plan this to be longer than it actually has to be . She can say what she wants to say and then leave . I think a part of me knew that it wasn't entirely her fault but a part of me thinks she could have completely avoided this by simply waiting for her mate . Then I wouldn't be here . And I wouldn't have met Jace . So maybe that isn't the best idea after all .Without any delay she pushes past me to get inside and takes a seat on the couch in the living ." Shall we talk ? "" As if I have any choice in the matter . " I mumble as I take a seat next to her ." Have you hidden the dag
" You're crushing her . Loosen up . " Jace warns as Kayla practically squishes me to death . Perhaps if it was my human self , I'd be choking for air right now but since I have grown much stronger over the span of the past few days , it actually doesn't bother me in the slightest . Jace was probably concerned that I'd suddenly be bombarded with blood lust and I would end up tearing her apart . I may not be an absolute control freak but I'm still relatively accustomed to controlling ." I missed you too . " I laugh as she finally pulls away . I had no idea that I could get this attached to a human . All of my life I've mostly ever been around vampires and I don't mean this in a rude way but I just assumed I wouldn't get along with humans . I was wrong .Vampires , humans , werewolves etc . It doesn't matter who it is . At the end of the day we are all the same thing . We are people . No matter the types or the species , I'd like to think that we all have something in co
" Are you sure you want to go back ? " he asks ."Jace , I can't be stuck in here and hide forever . I'll have to go out at some point , besides , it's been a few days and I'm much better at controlling it now . "It was true that the slight temper issues brought on by the werewolf transition definitely ended up in me having a more difficult time with controlling my thirst than before but I was managing . I swear I was . And I was getting really bored hanging around in this hotel all day . If I'm going to be honest , being bored is a worse combination anyway so it's a better idea for me to return .This way I could finally have some distractions and also something to do instead of sitting around watching TV or playing some pool . It could be good in curbing my urges . Shouldn't I take my willpower out for a test drive ?" I'm not so sure about that . " he smirks .I can already tell he was talking about last night so I decide not to comment on it .
I paw at him to gain his attention . How do I tell him that I want to turn back ? He looks at me and raises his eyebrow .I try to feel the desire to turn back to my human self , hoping that he would feel it too and would let me know how . As expected , he hadn't put up a wall and realised almost immediately what I meant . I wonder if Jace and I will be able to communicate through mild link just like Alec and Michael . It seems fun , intruiging and more than anything a different sort of connection that I'd like to try out ." Step by step you need to focus on your limbs and visualise them returning to normal . Will it with your strength . " he explains , still stroking my fur . I try to do as he says and he gets up from the ground , walking over to a nearby tree . I was too busy to notice until he dropped the bag in front of me which contained presumably my clothes .Following his instructions , it doesn't take long before I slowly return to my original body . I
I scream as my arm twists in the other direction , possibly breaking and adjusting my elbow joint to match a wolf's . In my whole life , I have never felt such excruciating pain before . Sure there were moments that were particularly hard to bear but this ..I wanted to die than endure another second of it ." You don't have to feel it . " I tell him painfully with tears in my eyes . The searing burn and throb of a fracture made me drop to the ground and pant as my heart beats hard enough to rip out of my chest .Jace was flinching with my every move , every wave of pain caused him to grunt and grit his teeth . Why was he not putting up the wall ? Just because I'm going through it doesn't mean he has to as well . He's already done this before , there's no reason for him to experience such unpleasantness ( such an understatement ) twice ." You'll be okay , just breathe through it . You'll be okay . " he whispers lovingly in my ear , supporting my battered
