Has everything shattered apart so completely that it feels impossible to piece it back together? When a mysterious man promised answers and her family's safety, Elana found herself strapped to a chair getting experiment after experiment. Not willing to leave her alone, Nathan Night followed along, only to get drained himself and dragged into the experiments with her. Now accepting and understanding the bond she has with Nathan, Elana learns how to rely on the man she once avoided and let him help her through the darkest time of her life. With the world seemingly against them, it seems nearly impossible to escape from this never-ending cycle of torment, nevermind find answers in the world once they do.
Lihat lebih banyakThe constant beeping was the first thing I noticed when I woke up. My eyes fluttered slightly, but the flooding of light caused me to close my eyes again. The loud beeping continued, seeming to change patterns and noises like an alarm clock. I tried to open my eyes again, and this time, it worked. Bright, clean white walls were glaring through the blinding pure lights. A sterile smell sunk into my nose as a too-familiar smell kicked my brain into panic. It smelled just like the Keepers. The beeping picked up and got more rapid as my fear escalated and I felt my hands start to tremble. If I was back at the Keepers, I knew there was no hope of me ever getting out again. I was
A headache started pulsating behind me eyes and I closed my eyes against the bright light urging it on.“You wanna know the best part of owning a hotel and being a leader of the AKO? Getting an inside look to supernatural's lives. You left your dream back in that hotel room. And it was then I realized you were connected to everything that destroyed me.”The guy next to me cocked the gun. “So, Elana, you need to tell us something if you want a chance of saving your arm.”I shook my head, but instantly regret it as my headache returns instantly. I opened my eyes to glare at her. “You know this is wrong, Nina. You know there is another way to find out the Spirit's weaknesses. Sacrificing people is never okay, even if you believe it's for the greater good of mankind. Your family would be ashamed to see you like this. It's—”“I'm not arguing with you!” Nina exploded. “You can't tell me what i
I felt her head jerk to the side under mine and lost it. I fell on top of her, bawling. Her blood was cold against my cheek and I didn't dare open my eyes. Some noises sounded, somewhere between a cry and scream. The awful noises continued, one after the other and filled the empty room and hallway in their obvious agony. I realized it was me. I was making those noises. I didn't care and clung to her body, whimpering apology after apology. I let out cries, gurgled by my constricted throat. Tears and snot ran freely down my face and directly onto her limp body. Her skin was already losing its warmth and the stench of metallic blood filled all my senses. But I didn't care as I clung to
I froze as the door shook behind me. I felt shivers tickle up and down my body and I turned so fast my hair swung around and smacked my face. I shoved the ponytail back and studied the door. The sound is coming from the basement. And there was only one thing left down there. The door banged again and I jumped from the loud sound. The fear kicked my brain back into gear and I turned around, bolting back down the hall and to the room we just came from. I snatched Claire's wrist on my way, seeing that she was in the same trance I was. After I grabbed her arm, she sprung off her cemented feet and ran after me. I ripped the door open and nearly screamed when I saw what was on th
“Oh, no. Go, go, go!” I yelled urgently as Nathan practically carried Hyene up the steps. We bound into the hallway and I quickly slammed the door shut behind us, then pushed a nearby couch in front of it. “That's not going to hold it for long,” Nathan murmured as we flew down the hallway. I just hoped someone already had the Land Rover fired up and ready to go. The Spirit finished its work on the crazy man and was now after us. As we neared the front door, I saw familiar lights of the land rover in the distance. Claire had managed to get the car and Trysten was now loading everybody in. As we made it to the vehicle, I jumped into the the passenger seat door
I stepped gingerly into a dark hallway and looked to my left. Claire was tip-toeing next to me. I couldn't quite understand what was going on, but I knew the boys were in trouble. Don't ask me how, but I just knew. A large duffel bag weighed down my right side, heavy contents making it nearly impossible to keep upright. I looked over to Claire again and realized she had two bags, one draped over each shoulder. I tried to stay light on my feet as I made my way down the hall. When I got to a door, I could feel Nathan behind it. I swallowed my fear and leaned my face onto the crack of the open door. I was expecting another office or room of some sort, but instead, it was a lit stairwel
Dinner was a bad idea. Not only was it painfully awkward, but we hadn’t known anybody there.Gabriel sat at the opposite side of the room and at a different table, and regardless of my constant checking, there was no way to point out the little boy I spent months with. He just simply wasn’t here.But if he wasn’t here, where was he?Nathan laid a gentle hand on my elbow. “It’s a full moon.”I hadn’t even noticed. I’ve been so preoccupied lately with everything else that was going on, I didn’t even notice it was the full moon.“We’re going on a run. You can ride my back like you did before, that way you can keep up.”I smiled wide. “Was that a challenge?”Nathan liked my response and smiled back.“I appreciate the offer, but I really need to do some planning. I have to figure out our next move now that Liam or Derek aren’t here.&rdquo
A rickety old hotel stood, barely hanging on to any sight of life. I was begging myself that Gabriel wouldn't pull his vehicle into the establishment, and I let out a disappointed sigh when he did. Nathan seemed to have the same feeling. I thought we were on the highway towards a nice place where they put the survivors. Imagine my surprise when we pull up to this mess. The dark boards of the foundation made the house look like it was built in the 1700's. The windows were mostly boarded and the few that weren't I wished were. The boards hanging onto the roof were scattered and sticking up in random places as if someone tacked them on at a later date. Although the house was surrounded with green grass, that did little to help the place look taken care of.
I stood straight up from my position against the railing. “Wait, you said Derek and Liam disappeared at the same time?” Junto’s eyebrows scrunched together and slowly stood as well. “Well, by the time we had come back, they were both gone. Why?” I walked off the bridge, abandoning the lake beauty and running straight for the forest. “We have to get back! Is Gabriel still here?” Junto shrugged. “I don’t really know, I just came out to check on you while Nathan went to look
I woke slowly with my head pounding, feeling very disoriented. It was pitch black in my room as I opened my eyes. I reached over to turn my bedroom lamp on, but felt nothing. Where was my lamp? And then it all came back flooding to me. Liam kidnapped. Claire and the pack missing. The imprint. I abruptly sat up. Now where was I? My sudden movements only accentuated the painful throbbing, like someone hitting my chest with a hammer. “Hello?” I said quietly, feeling around with my hands. “Anyone the
