“The victim was a reporter for the Daily Post. Her name was…' He consulted the clipboard. “Misty Sharpe. It looks like she was leaving the archaeological site to conduct more research. She stopped here, parked the car and walked a few meters before someone attacked her and ripped her throat out.My head spun. Was Misty dead? I spoke to her yesterday. Your ridiculous article was on the Internet this morning. How could she be dead? And who would have done such a thing? Rip out her throat, like a wild animal...The cop gave me a pointed look.“She was coming here to talk to you, Miss Sinclair. Apparently, there was an article about you published this morning, and Misty was hoping for a follow-up. Sounds like you're…” He consulted his notes. I could see he had a printout of Misty's article. — Warm and unapologetic about her part in her boyfriend's mysterious death.My face burned. Death followed me everywhere, it seems. My mind spun with memories of the police at my house, asking for info

PietraI woke up from a dream about death to find Josh still lying beside me, his eyes wide open."Did you fall asleep?" - I asked.- No. But you're fine, and that's what matters. There are no black wolves in sight."Where's Caleb?"Why didn't Josh sleep? Caleb didn't relieve him of his duty?"Outside," Josh growled. "But I needed to watch him too.""You don't suspect him yet, do you?" You're being paranoid. Caleb is your cousin, and barring the time he attacked me, he's been the perfect gentleman.“I have to be suspicious. He's a wolf in my territory and he's close enough to do you real harm. Just let me be protective alpha, will you?- I think so. Does that mean you're going with me todayCrookshollow? That would mean leaving the site unprotected.- You have to go?I looked at my phone.- Yes. I need to talk to Clara about some charms to protect us, and I need to talk to my friend Derek before he comes to the woods.- What? Why?“Remember how I said my friend, the mythology freak, w

PietraI love you.My hands gripped the Mini's steering wheel so hard my knuckles turned white. The words repeated over and over in my head, the echo of memories mixing with Josh's husky voice. Ben shyly saying those words for the first time over dinner at the Tir Na Nog pub , his nervous face watching me over the top of his pie. My dad whispering them in my ear as he tucked me into bed at night. My own lips trembled as I fought back tears to say the words at his funeral.The freezing night had left a layer of ice on the Mini's windshield. I tried wiping it off with my gloved hand, but it wasn't doing the trick. I didn't want to go back to camp to thaw the water and risk running into Josh, so I rolled down the window and cruised slowly down the trail, leaning over the car door like the main character in a bad spy movie.Josh loved me. He loved me. My chest ached with the weight of that revelation. After everything he's been through, that must have been an amazing thing for him to say.

Josh“ Her car is gone,” Caleb said, pointing to the empty spot where his Mini was parked.- Yes. She quickly fled after my little revelation."Any idea where she might have gone?"I made my brain work. Would Pietra have gone deeper into the forest?No. I remembered what she had said about her previous boyfriend, how he had an accident and died in the woods. If she was upset, she wouldn't stay here among the trees and the memories. She would go back to town, find someone to talk to, maybe that guy she visited the other day."She's at Crookshollow," I said. “She had a friend there, Derek. I bet she went to see him.- Let's go. Caleb opened the door to my truck and got in. - Keys?“Why are you driving?“Because you're too upset to think straight. And you are a shitty driver.“I can just feel that love, cousin,” I growled, but there was no time to argue. I climbed into the passenger seat and tossed him the keys.Caleb started the engine and we took off down the road. Behind us, Ruth came

It was a busy morning in downtown Las Vegas, just like every other morning. The ever-awake skyscrapers in the city that never sleeps exuded money and power. This was a place where people would never feel at home, yet they wouldn't want to leave either.It was still too early for the rest of the world, but not for the ambition of the casinos and clubs that opened their doors and showed the public the best of life; the pleasure. The elegant buildings along the avenue housed offices, nightclubs and residences. The eclectic mix was what characterized the city of sin, its vastness and love of novelty. Boredom would never set in in Vegas.Among the countless pleasures in the city of sin, the police departments did not rest either. The phones rang relentlessly at the police station, especially on Saturday mornings.And in the midst of the hurricane that the department proved to be, Lora Lins walked through the reception. She was out of place in this troubled environment, with people moving n

In one of the millionaire buildings in downtown Las Vegas, inside the luxurious apartment on the outskirts of the Strip, lived Lora Lins. The room consisted of two environments; the living room and the TV room. Elegant and luxurious, the apartment had twelve rooms, all tastefully decorated. And, despite her incompatibility with her father, Lora had accepted that he would pay for that very expensive property so she could live with her friend.- "I'll open some wine" Drake warned as soon as he entered the apartment.Lora was right behind him, already getting rid of the pair of boots she'd worn at lunch. She headed into the main room and threw herself on the couch.- "White or red?" he shouted, already entering the cellar.- "Red" Lora replied while turning on the television and flipping through the channels, looking for something interesting.Minutes later, Drake returned with a bottle of Merlot and two round glasses. He loved the new phase of his life, where he could drink expensive dr

The city lights of Los Angeles were what lit up the world in dark times. The future was in the skyscrapers and in their grandeur. Every building on the outskirts of the city that never slept had a purpose; show your power.The Roosevelt Hotel was an interesting setting. With its white facade and large rounded supporting pillars, the building had a modern look. Its interior was no different, boasting an abundance of elegance. The chandeliers in the various rooms, the pure marble floors and the superior suites with indoor pools were signs of a fortune.In the master bedroom bathroom, in one of the city's most sought-after hotels, Evans Donovan was finishing lining up his bow tie in a millimeter way on his tuxedo. He surveyed his reflection, looking for flaws that anyone else wouldn't notice. But that man was obsessed with perfection in the details. His attire, as usual, was entirely dark. The only glow on her figure came from the silver rings on her fingers.When there was a knock on th

The group was in the limousine again, in the same positions as before. Evans wasn't there, having returned to his apartment first, in one of the cars he kept in New York. All you had to do was make a phone call to have a vehicle at your disposal.Lora was quiet, thinking about what those people were assuming about her and Evans.- "No need to feel guilty, Lora" Will looked at the redhead with empathy in his eyes.- "Of course she needs to feel guilty. Evans never loses control" Mariah argued.Lora thought about ignoring the comment, just as she was ignoring everything else. The way Mariah carried herself was unnecessary for her. It was just like Lana, except for some approach privileges.- "You'd love to have the same power over him, sweetie" Mack muttered, knowing closely the feelings his sister had for Banks.- "Look at me, Mack. Do you really think I have no power over Evans?" the words were addressed to her brother, but Mariah was looking at Lora.Mariah Donovan was a model known

- "Don't even try to escape, Banks. We're going to a club when the parade is over, whether you're accompanied or not"Will was sociable. He liked to go out, enjoy his life and push the limits whenever he could. He was easy and accessible to everyone, always smiling and showing his best side. On the other hand, his friend did not have any of the aforementioned characteristics.They were several feet away from the walkway, for two reasons. Evans didn't want to find Lora, having decided she was a part of the past. And then he didn't like crowds. Not that people were stupid enough to treat Evans Donovan like part of the crowd.Will thought for a moment about asking about Lora. But if she'd learned anything about Evans, and she certainly had, it was that he wasn't the type to call the next day. And if the redhead wasn't his companion anymore, that meant he'd won the trophy and crossed the finish line without ever having to look back.- "See, Mack is here" Will tilted the glass of whiskey h

While her father and friend had a pleasant conversation at the table, Lora kept her attention on the table by the windows. She wanted to, but couldn't help but look at that man. He was handsome in an intense way, the kind that made people uncomfortable around him. The blonde who accompanied him was also pretty, but next to him, she'd only served as a background.- "Why is Mr. Donovan here?" Drake asked at some point in the conversation.- "He has business in all branches, maybe that's why. Or maybe he's just Miss Donovan's escort"Lora knew the second option was unfeasible. Evans wasn't the type to accompany someone. He needed, necessarily, to be the number one person. However, she did not want to discuss this issue.Lora looked at Evans, wishing she could go back in time, but content with the sight of him taking a sip from her bubbly glass. He didn't seem involved in the conversation around him, though everyone was clearly intent on capturing his attention.- "Is he always at these e

- "Please tell me it wasn't a disaster!" Drake asked, leaning closer to Lora as they walked.- "You were great" she assured, speaking low so as not to capture the attention of the people around her.They were entering the building's restaurant, where all of the evening's guests would enjoy a delightful dinner. Lora, Jean and Drake walked through the large room until they reached the table with their names titled.- "Let's greet Mr. Banks" Jean communicated as she walked towards the table where Evans was seated, along with his companion and a couple of acquaintances.The issue behind the way everyone idolized Evans was a curious one. Lora didn't understand why he was so applauded. Maybe for the money, or power, but she wasn't sure. The only thing he knew was that the world served as a rug for the Banks name.As they approached the round table, Evans could see the redhead. She walked elegantly in the red dress, but she looked uncomfortable outside of her surroundings.Evans was seated ne

Evans and Lana walked slowly to the Lamborghini in the parking lot while talking about private business. Lora was away, giving them both privacy. She still felt her body warm from Evans' hands, which, at that moment, were gripping her bra.- "So I need to make reservations for Sunday?" Lana asked.She, alongside her boss, seemed like the perfect escort. Not that she didn't want such a post, but she couldn't wish for what she wouldn't have.Evans walked to the passenger door and opened it so Lora could get into the car, completely oblivious to the matter. And also completely oblivious to the fact that the man was trying to keep his distance from her only because his proximity was intoxicating, addictive, alarming.- "Yes, probably" he replied as he walked to the other side of the car.Lora wasn't exactly comfortable with the closeness and intimacy between Evans and Lana, but she didn't have the right to protest about something that didn't concern her.- "I'll call you later" Lana commu

At first, the car made a slow turn. The speed did not reach one hundred kilometers per hour. The pilot was just getting to know the power of the engine, letting his experience take care of the moment.On the second lap, his foot weighed on the pedal. Every second the sports car got faster, finishing the curves in record time. Evans was focused but also relaxed. That was the only time he could turn off all his senses and worry only about crossing the finish line.When he passed the pit stop, the booming and powerful noise was even more explicit. Steady, steady accelerating made the tires resonate with friction on the asphalt.Fascinated by Evans' headstrong way of driving, Lora couldn't contain the urge to get up. The woman was too agitated to watch from afar. And as she walked forward, she heard the taps of Lana's heels. The blonde was leaving the racetrack pavilion and entering the safe side of the track.- "Lora" she called. The sound was muffled by the car's engine growling in acce

- "Tell me more about Costa Rica" Drake asked, staring into Daliah's brown eyes.- "That underdeveloped country? Not really. We're in Vegas, honey. Let's talk about this paradise" she replied seriously, but made Drake laugh.- "My God, she's amazing" he said, looking at Lora with an expression of contentment.- "Well, I'm curious about your relationship. You live together, look at each other with affection and show incredible intimacy and chemistry. How can you just be friends?" Daliah was surprised at how close the friends were.- "Lora is all I have, and I love her like a sister. I'm a nice guy, I know that, and we would be the couple of the century. But I see something in her that goes beyond attraction and romance. We are family" Drake murmured her words of affection as she looked at the horizon stretching out the window, inspiring her thoughts on moments she lived with the redhead by her side.- "There's no attraction. So you're gay?" Daliah frowned her perfectly plucked brows.-
