Sometimes, Grandfather calls him in to speak to him, but I get the feeling that none of their talks are anything to write home about.The recent business of helping Malachi’s father hide his son has left me with a fragmented image of the Finn Patriarch. So maybe this can help me understand.With the
My brain feels like it stops working for a while when I hear Tieran’s words.My heart pounds slowly in my chest and my breath comes in slow short spurts. He had said he would ask me for a favor, and I'll admit I have subconsciously been thinking about it. But I didn't expect this. I try to sit up b
And that was him at 11.He’s only evolved and improved now… and Tieran is right. If I disappear, he’s going to do everything he can to find where I am. And damn it, but that just makes me angry.What kind of person is he to be so pesky?Why would he care where I go? He didn’t want me and now I don't
Bridget’s pov.Antonia leaves me sleeping on her bed and I don't know when I fall asleep. I just know I do and I wake up sometime into the middle of her conversation with Tieran.“I want to come with you.”I know he’s the one speaking because everyone knows when Tieran Blackstone speaks. His voice
I speak before I can stop myself, “I didn’t say he couldn’t not approach either.”My eyes meet Tieran’s and they are hard. He’s not happy and maybe that has something to do with the conversation he just had with Antonia. I see the opportunity and speak without thinking.“Missed opportunity. Are you
Antonia’s pov. “Do you have it?”Ares looks up as i approach him.He has been waiting for me in the gardens and i wish i could have come to see him when i wasn’t feeling so ruffled. But he has to go home sometime and he’s been waiting here because of me anyway.This doesn’t feel like the kind of mo
Tieran and Bridget should know about this. I had to pretend i wasn’t constantly pushing away a bit of fear as i stared at the Moon Tears fabric and thought of the person who it was from.He can’t possibly have that kind of power, can he? Is it even something that can happen? Getting into another pe
It’s pure chaos when i get into the house.Bridget is coming down the stairs and her cheeks are flushed. She has a stormy look on her face and i know better than to stop her when she’s like this. She walks right past me and into the kitchen.My eyes immediately flit back to the stairs so i can see w
Why didn’t i see something like this happening?”Watch your step.”Malachi’s voice pulls me out of my thoughts again and i feel a shudder course through my spine. This fashion show - the runway - everything is being broadcasted which means if Grandfather was paying any attention, he must have seen w
I almost run as i make my way towards the general hall. Tieran is fast on my heels and i can see the slight confusion in his eyes - i can see the immediate recognition at the sight of that baby.What in hell’s name are they even doing here?I get down and my heart drops into my stomach. She’s making
A question slips out of my lips before i can stop myself, “Are you sure you want to leave with me after this?”Ever since he suggested it, the questions have been brewing at the back of my mind.Disappearing after my fashion show is one thing. I might be the talk of many shows right now, but i’m sti
I walk down the hallway and try to shake off the icky feeling that clings to my skin from meeting Skye.I can’t believe i ever thought the reason Malachi wanted her was because maybe despite all odds, she was just genuinely a good person. Someone better than i am.Skye is nothing but a snake and a b
The floor shifts and rolls. The very image of fluffy clouds and radiant light.I can see people discussing, talking. Armed with cameras, all of them.Tonigt is going to be a defining night.”Well if it isn’t the talk of the town.”I turn immediately to see a female walking towards me.It’s been a lo
Bridget jacks me away the moment she catches the sight of me. She downright ignores Malachi and glares at him when he tries to follow us. He glares right back but relents and walks off, but not before he directs a look my way.Not before he stares at me long and hard and so well i know he’s doing it
Malachi pulls back almost immediately, and as his eyes turn to me i see something shift in his expression.He smiles. The act is rare enough that i’m stunned but the look it gives him also lights up his face quite well. Malachi’s vopice is tinged with some humor as he responds, “I wouldn’t resort t
Antonia's pov.The sky is rippling with stars and i begin to fidget in the car as we drive out to the Starlight hall.I’m dressed in a simple gown.Long flowing silk is sewn in with some of the moon’s tears fabric, and embossed with a subtle but ripping waterfall of diamonds and jewels. As estravaga
I have something important to do here. I’m not leaving it and going off to have sex with him, especially not on a day like today. It’s too important.”Is there ever a day you’ll put yourself first?”The question makes a line of static ring in my brain for a while but before i can respond Ian goes o
