“what’s going on, King?” she demands and pulls away, but as she looks up, her eyes catch on to something, and she frowns.“What the fuck is she doing, what is going on?” I find her looking at Penelope. Everyone is looking at Penelope. No doubt wondering what she’s doing wearing white and walking wit
DammitFrom the corner of my eye, I can see Richfield and my mom rushing over, but I focus on Mars. She’s screaming, she’s still screaming and clutching on to her chest as though she wants to rip her heart out of it to stop the pain. I kneel down beside her, trying to get her to listen to me,“Rejec
Mars’ screams and it cuts through, something moves behind her, her shadow ripples.Oh, damn it, what the hell is it now?Everyone around me tenses, and I feel my mom holding on to my shirt from behind. Whether to hold me back or keep herself, I don’t know, but I prefer this to not feeling anything f
All of us except my dad.This man is impossibly strong if he can do this. He is blocking the whole pack from feeling the pull of his power and reserving it for my dad only. It’s something even my dad can’t do. It requires a lot of control, concentration, and expertise, and this man does it so effort
PART IIPainPain like nothing I’ve ever felt before slams into me after King’s words, but I don’t know what hurts more, my bond tearing at his rejection, or the heartbreak of being led on up until the very end, only for him to reject me at the end. Was it always a joke to him, was he always just pl
“You’re drooling, Little River.” He teases lightly, and I flush.“Sorry” I murmur, but before he can say anything, something moves beside him and moves towards me as if coming in for a hug. I scream and jump back, only to take a close look…What in the Dr. Facilier shit, is this? Is that his shadow
“Daddy, can I eat now?” I ask, but he doesn’t look at me or talk to me, he just passes by me and goes to the kitchen. When he comes back, he’s holding a napkin and I think he’s going to ask what I want to eat, so I turn to him happily, but he wraps the napkin around my face and holds it down. I can’
“Innocent? You’re nothing innocent, you’re a destructive tool and I refuse to allow you to destroy my pack like you destroyed the Brown family.” He spits. I laugh.“I destroyed the Brown family, are you sure about that?” I move closer towards him. “When you came to our home and asked my father to ki
“You are friends with the moon goddess.” He says, slowly enough that I fear the information has managed to break his brain somehow.“Yes.” I reply slowly, mimicking him, and when he realizes what I’m doing, he rolls his eyes in amusement.“It’s just really…it’s a lot, but I’m following as best as I
“But I’m sure he’s been with other women before he met me, and maybe even after.” Saying that leaves a sour taste in my mouth, but I voice it anyway. “he can’t say he’s sexually frustrated if he’s getting the sexual attention he needs.”Aria shakes her head at me.“I can assure you that the only att
“Mars…”“I’m going to the kitchen, have a nice shower!” I say and sprint to the kitchen like my life depends on it, limp momentarily forgotten.“Oh, why does he always catch me.” I groan and bury my face in my hands as I stew in embarrassment for a while, and then I begin to get everything ready for
“I’m gonna shower,” Richfield says when we get to the house. “I stink.”“Agreed.” I say with a smirk as he helps me off Remy.“I’ll heat up some of the leftovers from last night and go shower too, but I think I’ll go out today, some fresh air would do me good.”“Are you hanging out with King, then?”
“You better not be developing a crush on him, he is our father, F-A-T-H-E-R, father…and we have a mate.”“Yeah, a mate you want to strangle right now.” I glare at him.“Don’t encourage her.”“A father is supposed to encourage his daughter.”“Unbelievable you two, simply unbelievable.” They laugh as
I wake up to the sound of knocking on my door, and turn to wake Rome up, but when I stretch my hand to touch him, I find the space beside me empty and cold. I jolt awake, and surely enough, King is nowhere in sight. My heart clenches painfully. The knocking persists and I throw the covers off my bod
Oh, and a Ham and Swiss Omelette sounds lovely, by the way. Enjoy your shower. “Get the fuck out of here before I strangle you or something.” He laughs as he leaves.The fact that I’m joined to him for life is a fucking nightmare that I’m not sure how I survive.As I head into the shower, however,
ROMULUSSometimes, humans want things they can’t have. They have desires that are just impossible to obtain, they don’t know or acknowledge their limits, so they desire for things way beyond them, and it burns them out because most of them never achieve these things, and the little who do cut down t
“So good, fuck, you smell so good.” He breathed in deeply, licked his lips, a movement my eyes tracked with the precision of a killer, and then he came closer and brushed his lips against mine again, setting fire to more than just my skin.“Yes, mine.” He whispered against my lips right before licki
