"Plus, the privacy is a bonus." "Exactly. We can finally have kitchen sex, no need to worry about your mom walking in on us." "Why? I never thought you had any shame for stuff like that. Don't forget I caught you making out with that girl in our kitchen." "Have you ever thought that I did that be
"Come on in." Maybe I wasn't the only one wanting to make a good first impression. Silas was acting the nicest I had ever seen him. There was a kind smile on his face as he led our guest to the living room. I walked behind them, my legs feeling a bit too heavy, and I had to drag them. This whole sc
Despite all the excitement she had felt yesterday at the prospect of starting college, Kerry woke up sick. Her head felt like it had been slammed against the wall multiple times, and she was very nauseous. She managed to make it to the bathroom before throwing up into the toilet. Silas must have hea
She looked around with wary eyes. Only when she spotted someone who looked very friendly did she decide to approach. It was a cute girl with short black hair tied in a ponytail. She wore large glasses and was dressed in a baggy T-shirt and jeans. "Hey," Kerry greeted her, trying her best to sound a
"See me after class," the Professor said to her before turning around and stalking back to the front of the class. Kerry watched his retreating back in shock; she still couldn't believe that she had found her dad. She knew he was in Hawaii, but she didn't think finding him would be so damn easy. He
"It's not about that. Our kind are never supposed to be this close to each other. I left you the moment I realized that you had taken after me." "W-What are you talking about?" "Do you know what a Nephilim is?" "A Nephilim? Like from the stories?" Kerry laughed. "Gosh, there's no need to make up
Kerry woke up with a headache. It wouldn't be the first time, and she was already starting to get used to it at this point. She expected to wake up in a strange room, tied to a chair or something. Or maybe Asher might decide to mess with her head, make her forget things. It all sounded like the kind
"Woah, what gives you the idea that you are going to lose anyone?" "I... It doesn't even matter! I won't let anything bad happen! I will protect all of you, I promise." Silas looked down at her. His lips curled up in a smile. He leaned forward to place a chaste kiss on her lips. "I believe you," h
When Via awakened, it was to a slight headache and the feel of dried blood against her temple. The room she was in (if it could be called a room at all) was dim, and the only source of lighting that filtered through the thick bars was from the torch hung outside the cell. Via was able to make out he
Their uncle, Asher, wasn’t in the mansion. Luca heard he had some serious business to sort out in Vinci and should be back in a day or two. It was all bullshit, of course. Luca knew Alastor must have sent him off—if only to get him far enough away from the human to execute his plans. Said plans were
Via stepped closer to the handsome vampire. He smelled just as good as he looked, and when he smiled, a dimple appeared on either cheek—small enough to go unnoticed. Despite his good looks and splendor, she, for one, felt that there was something very off about the man. His smile carried a condescen
Golden candlelight shimmered on the polished mahogany table, yet no feast adorned its surface—only rows of empty crystal glasses and half-drained wine bottles. When Via walked into the dining room, she was met with the intense gazes of all seven people in the room. She was a bit taken aback to see L
She'd always imagined her first time would be with someone special, at a significant moment in her life—an anniversary, perhaps, or a wedding night. And though she had considered doing it with someone just for the experience, as was the case with Ethan, with Asher, Via had hoped it would happen afte
Asher came from a long line of powerful lords. His father had ruled over the Vampire Council with a firm hand for centuries, and he was expected to do the same when the man stepped down. He was well aware of the sacrifices he would have to make for the greater good of his people, his coven, his race
Via wasn't sure why, but Luca had an inclination to piss her off at any chance he got. She wasn't really surprised when he opened his mouth and started spitting out trash. "You must be heartbroken," he said in a voice so full of certainty one would think he'd known her all his life. "You're hurt th
For the next few days, Via doesn’t get a chance to confront Asher. She does see him around, but Elizabeth is always lingering near him, her arm wrapped around his in a hold that could be nothing less than possessive. She would look over in Via’s direction and smile at her—not mocking or taunting, bu
When morning finally came, Via had dark eye bags and couldn't stand on her two feet without slouching. She could go without sleep, of course, but she'd gotten so used to the routine. Coupled with the added turbulent emotions from last night, she was feeling overwhelmed. When Jess had asked why she
