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
I didn't have the guts to attend my dad's class again. If I could, I would have skipped school completely, because I no longer found joy in studying when I knew that something much bigger and dangerous was hiding around the corner—something I couldn't uncover no matter how hard I tried. I thought th
As always, my loving boyfriend was quick to come to my side, having heard my scream from downstairs. "Baby, calm down." This was the first thing he said as he wrapped me in an embrace. He only needed to glance at the contents of the toilet seat to know what had happened. Somehow, I had expected his
I felt like crying, but I think I had already shed all my tears earlier that day. I lay curled up on the bed, feeling worse than I ever had in my entire life. To me, no situation could ever be worse than the one I found myself in. I had been hurting so badly for the past week, and to think Silas kne
"Is there anything I can do for you, my dear?" "You didn’t tell me you were a prince." "You didn’t ask. And I hardly thought my title was of any importance, seeing as it wouldn’t have impressed you even if I had mentioned it." He was right. Via would have probably been even more put off if she ha
Asher was introduced as a prince, and that little piece of information took Via aback. Yes, everyone knew that vampires once practiced monarchy, but that was a very long time ago—before civilization had taken over and their superiority over humans and other supernaturals had been revoked. She knew t
Via wanted to scream into her pillow, but her dad might hear it and come up to check on her. She couldn’t help it—she had never been this attracted to someone before. He was hot, and his holier-than-thou attitude had a sort of appeal. She wanted him—maybe just for the taste. Maybe then she could fin
Octavia takes Jess back to her house. Her friend's parents had long gone to bed by the time Via was half-dragging their daughter inside. Jess's younger brother was still up, probably playing those video games he was so obsessed with. He merely rolled his eyes at the sight of his unconscious sister a
Via chased after him, taking note of how hot the display of strength made her. "Hey, you really don’t have to do that. Jess might throw up on you." "It’s fine. Don’t want her ruining your delicious scent with the filthy stench of her humanity." "Um..." Via played the words over in her mind multipl
"What the hell, man?" The ghoul, whose hand was held firmly, hissed at Asher. He wasn’t very happy about the interruption. He was about to protest further when the vampire’s cold eyes locked onto him. A chill ran down his spine. He sensed that this guy wasn’t someone he could easily mess with. "What
"Fine. Whatever you say, Silas." "Tell your mom to come lend a helping hand. I might actually burn down the kitchen this time." "Sure." She grabbed a bag of chips Silas usually stocked up for whenever he was planning a movie night with his wife. It was best to give them some privacy. "Mom, Dad’s t
There was something off-putting about the young man. He looked young anyway, but knowing vampires, he might just be decades older than he appeared. Via wasn’t usually attentive toward other people. Unlike Jess, she preferred her own company. But the stranger was leaning against her car, so she could
“Good morning, ladies,” her dad greeted as he entered the room. “Morning, babe,” Kerry responded, leaning in to kiss him. Octavia tried not to make a disgusted face. Her parents acted like they hadn’t been together for 18 years. “I’m off,” she said, grabbing her bag. “Do you need a ride? It’s on
