Gosh, my body hurt! I was so out of it I had no clue what was going on. Telling the truth, I didn’t even know if I was alive, dead, or dreaming. The awareness of warmth, closure, and protection made me feel so good, and I didn’t know where I was, but I felt at peace for once in my life, and I didn’t want to wake up. I didn’t want reality to fall upon me.

The heaviness of arms and being held by someone struck me. I fluttered my eyes open to find myself entangled with a bear. I mean, a man, but still a bear, in a very dimmed lit ambiance with shadows playing on the walls, coming from an almost gone fire.

I forgot all about my pain and my training skills kicked in when I saw I had already thrown him out of bed with all my might. Now, he was there on the floor looking at me all bewildered and sleepy, and I felt freezing, and emptiness crawled uninvited into my body, clawing for my soul. What the heck?

“Who the hell are you? What did you do to me? Where am I?” So many questions without an

    “That’s my question, woman!” he said with gritted teeth, and I didn’t mistake earlier. His eyes were glowing golden in the middle of all that mess, and it mesmerized me. I was so conscious of his body against mine, I felt my nipples peak against his chest and a hard bulge against my stomach, so I wasn’t alone in this torment. A crimson blush covered me and tears pricked in the back of my eyes. I’ve never felt this lost, not even when my mother died.“Sorry! It wasn’t intentional, it happens when I lose control out of fear or anger.” A sob escaped my lips, and I was freaking crying in front of him, shit! “I’m sorry!” a whisper left my mouth. “This is too much to believe in.” Then his eyes went back to that beautiful forest green.“I didn’t mean to frighten you. Please, don’t fear me. It’s been so long since I had you in my arms, dragă. And I’ve almost lost you for the fourth time, you need to cooperate with me here.”God, I had no clue about what he was talking, or how to get out of thi

    “You know, you could also get some shower.”“You’re saying I smell?” I mocked her, and my voice came out huskier than I intended, playing so close to her ears, sending shivers down her back. I affected her, more than she cared to admit.“Not to be rude, but yes… grizzly, you do!” She smirked at me. “You go ahead, while you take your shower, I check the pantry for food!”I got pushed to the bathroom, then she closed the door behind my back. What was I supposed to do? Anger and frustration poured on me as I opened the door again to find her bent over something in the wardrobe. What a delightful view! Maybe those manly trousers weren’t so bad on her after all. Since I brought her here, I dedicated myself to heal her from whatever had happened, but this last hour has been a challenge of sorts. The only thing going on my mind was to throw her on that bed and make her mine again, but she didn’t know who I was. Well, she confirmed I have haunted her dreams, at least she knew me from there, a

    “I will always find you no matter where you are! There’s no escape, Alizandra.” I turned her to face me and the terror stamped on her beautiful face made me weep inside. She looked at me just like the devil I was, and that didn’t sit well with my heart, but I got so angry at that moment and so confused. Anger, pain, grief, fear, and God knew what else assaulted me at that moment. I didn’t think of anything else, but to teach her a lesson for being disobedient, for abandoning me. So I showed her the monster I was. I didn’t hide from her. I knew my eyes were glowing, and I exposed my fangs.“What are you?” she said in a whisper, then her eyes changed, and what I saw in those lavenders took me by surprise.There was compassion for a troubled soul like mine, even though she feared me. But those lavenders didn’t lie. She always had the power to see my darkened soul. The world around me ceased to exist when her fingertips roamed over my face like she was seeing the real me, like a veil had

    Then he was on top of me, pinning me to the floor, and all the defiance in my face gave place to surprise.“Yes, you know her, because she is you, dragă. She is hidden inside your mind and heart.” “I’m not scared of you!” I whispered.“Are you sure, Alexandra?” His eyes changed again and his canines lengthened. He just couldn’t help himself. Something told me he needed me to fear him, even though he didn’t want it, neither made him happy about it. “What are you?” My muscles stiffened, and a squeak came out of my lips.“I’m cursed!” He sounded so much like a wounded animal giving me his answer, that if he meant to scare the soul out of my body, he failed. Yes, I got afraid of him, sort of... But deep down I knew he would never hurt me and that ace I had up in my sleeve.“Get off me!” I said with gritted teeth, and he didn’t move, setting my blood to boil. “I won’t say it again, get the hell off me!” Fire flashed in those golden eyes and it made me believe he wasn’t used to someone def

    “I’ve never seen myself as one! Only a cursed devil.” The tone in which he spoke held the heaviness of a confession. I broke the contact, resting my forehead on his, trying to catch some air, feeling his warm breath lingering close to my lips. I didn’t prepare myself to see the burden of sorrow in those eyes framed by those sinful long lashes. “Don’t say it like this…”“Why?” My heart stuttered in pain and reached out for him. I didn’t know what to say, so I did what I thought was best at that moment. I covered his mouth with mine in a wild and desperate kiss. “Liz, I won’t be able to behave myself if you keep kissing me this way…”“Then don’t, I don’t want you to behave, anyway...” And all the heat of those golden eyes descended on me, all the adoration in them, and I didn’t even know why I deserved it. He captured my mouth in a possessive way, claiming his stake in me. From that moment on I knew I belonged to him, only to him, and my life would never be the same. His rough hand c

    If I was dreaming, I didn’t want to wake up! She had cocooned herself underneath my body on my side; the fire was almost gone as the temperature in the cabin dropped a bit, and we drowned in a mess of blankets. I have been awake for some time now, but working up my courage to let go of the warmth of her soft body against mine. My fingers moved on their own accord, caressing her face and putting away the wild strands of her hair. She was an enchantress, my enchantress. Her eyes drifted open. How I’ve missed waking up to those lavenders!“Hey…” “Hey, Grizzly.” She giggled and my heart fluttered in my chest. “I’m glad this wasn’t only one more of my dreams with you…” “How come you’re so accepting of me? Are you not afraid of what I am?” I just didn’t understand, I was ready for a fight and…“I don’t know, throughout my life, I’ve differed from the others. There are things we can’t explain, I move, break and explode things with the power of my mind, for heaven’s sake.” There was sadness

    Thank Lord, I found my way back to the spot I’d left my bike. My chest constricted with worry, and if something happened to her, I would be very, very upset.“What’s wrong, Liz? Why are you anxious, and your heart races?” I heard his strong voice right behind me.“How do you know?”“Let’s say I have an acute hearing. Answer me.” I sighed, glaring at him. Gosh, why did he always need to command everything? He sounded just like Dad. “I just hope nothing happened to my sweet babe, that’s all!” There she was in all its glory, perfect! The way I left her about four days ago. I went straight to my saddlebags and retrieved a flashlight, illuminating his face. He blinked several times, and I chuckled.“Stop that!” In the next minute, he was holding the flashlight, examining it. “What are all these?”“Well, that’s a flashlight, and this is my sweetness, my bike!” The look on his face was something. Man, he was rediscovering the world around him! “When was the last time you were awake, Grizzly?

    I went straight to my laptop and hacked into the blood center a few miles away from my house. Once into their systems I checked for their supplies, making sure I got the ones they have in more quantities, leaving the rare types, I didn’t think my grizzly was the frisky kind. I reserved a bunch of them, and once I was done, I went to my safe box and retrieved one of my fake IDs. But it wasn’t all. I had a little disguise to do. In one of my bathroom drawers, I found my green contact lenses, and in the closet my blond short-haired wig. “Hello, miss Bailey!” I said to myself in the mirror. It’s been six months since I played her nurse Bailey. I had been undercover as a nurse inside a pharmaceutical lab, and believe me, I almost blew my cover. I had the habit to save some fake IDs I worked under, sometimes they were useful again, like now. Before I left I checked on him, he felt so cold on my palm even though the house had already gotten cozy with heat. I had to speed up.I jumped on my

    Liz“WOMAN!” I was in the kitchen and almost jumped out of my skin when I heard the booming voice coming from the bedroom. The bear just woke up and he got angry, but instead I got scared of him, all I wanted all that tyranny for myself.

    My father came from behind and grabbed my waist, raising me from Vlad’s body and bringing me hard to his chest. I cried so heavy, and I was so fucking broken, I would kick at Tony’s legs and extend my hands, trying to reach Grizzly at all costs. At that point, I couldn’t understand my life without him, I couldn’t devise a future for me in the coming days. How does one live without a heart pulsing inside the chest? Mine was lying torn, in silence, on that very floor!

    When I heard Vlad’s words resounding the place, my blood froze in my veins as doom was about to descend on us. I found myself exhausted with my head cushioned in Doctor Blake’s lap, and fatherly eyes looking down at me. Yes, he had redeemed himself; he was a good person after all, and as much as a victim like me or my sister. Warmth filled my heart for this man, but also guilt. It was as if with this new feeling I was betraying Tony. He was my father in my heart, and as if he picked up my mixed feelings, he was there in my head.

    Lights came from the other side, and the entire room charged. I didn’t know what was going on, the only thing that had my focus was the hilarious look on my brother’s face. He didn’t know with whom he messed with; he didn’t know the power she yielded. The shock and confusing shadow behind the reason she had defied him, backing out on his threats.

    Those were the longest and excruciating minutes I have ever had to live. The entire time I prayed to God, not to let it be true, but the sinking feeling in my stomach didn’t lie. I caught myself stepping back with shaky hands, until I hit the bed and fell, sat on it, as the door opened, and a gorgeous smile but cynical greeted me.With wide eyes and trembling lip

    “Welcome to my home, brother, I hope you feel comfortable here.” He was there, standing in the middle of the room, holding a box.

With a quick side look to An

    I knew Liz had said something to him when he cursed. He was pissed, but not with her. Something else bugged him. “Don’t let me out of it, Anton.

    I stood like a statue in the middle of that room, staring at the blond woman with a puzzled face by the corner. The silence was oppressive and to tell the truth I didn’t know what to say, where to start or what to do. She looked at me with an awkward face and puzzled eyes.“Do you know who I am?” I asked the first thing that came to my mind. She gave
