FEYRE

I quickly push off Damien’s shoulders. He chuckles, raising his hands up in surrender.

I stand straight and put on a pleasing smile on my face, trying to steady my beating heart. I have no idea why I respond to him this way when I shouldn’t feel anything towards him.

“Just kidding,” he adds, still chuckling.

I nod and clear my throat, trying to find my voice. “I figured,”

“What are you doing?” he asks, then tips his head toward the closed door. “Aside from eavesdropping.” his lips stretch into a breathtaking smile, showing his perfect teeth. Some people’s perfect looks should be illegal.

“I wasn’t eavesdropping,” my cheeks heat as I weakly defend. I was eavesdropping and I didn’t want to leave until I got annoyed. “I was just passing by and I happened to bump into the conversation.”

“Bump.” He repeats, laughter in his voice.

“Yes, almost literally. Just like I bumped into you.” I explain, giving him a blinding smile. I’ve almost forgotten why I came here in the first place.

    FEYREI smile awkwardly and move out of Damien’s hold, not for anything but because I liked the way he was holding me, a little too much if I’m being honest.“Shall we?” he motions, that boyish smile lighting his face. I feel my cheeks heat and it takes everything in me to not bring my hand up and try to rub at the skin to clear it.“Sure,” I found my voice.“After you,” he winks and I get in step beside him. We walk for a minute in silence before Damien speaks again. “How does it feel being away from your pack? I don’t presume it has been easy.”I shrug my shoulders, thinking of what to say. I haven’t given it much thought yet since it is not as though I’m doing anything, then there is that voice in my head that keeps reminding me that all of this is for a month. Knowing it is not permanent makes it easier for me to cope. Since I can’t exactly tell him that, I go for the next best option. The half-truth.“Right now, I can’t really tell.” He nods for me to go on. “I haven’t started an

    ALPHA ZADEI’ve been in a shitty mood since I woke up, only to go to the kitchen and find out she gave out my peanut butter and jam. Like that is not enough to ruin my morning, my father had to come and start spewing shit like he usually does. The conversation ended with me slamming the door in his face and walking out. I know it sound like a teenage girl throwing a tantrum but they are all just so fucking frustrating and they make me want to pull my hair out.“You don’t look happy,” Dylan comments unnecessarily when he sees me walking to my car.The weather is a bit warm and it would be nice to go for a run, let my wolf out in the wild, he has been on edge and that would be great help but I have things to do this morning. I didn’t have time to talk to Damien last night since he insisted he was tired from traveling and couldn’t talk about work.Like the private jet he had me fund so it could be easier for him didn’t offer much comfort. He also had the energy to flirt with every woman

    FEYREDylan and I don’t make it to three steps before his alpha’s imposing presence fills the small place, crowding it with all of his negative energy and large body. The place quieted down almost immediately and seeing that, the effect he has on people, how he commands them with just his presence, without having to use his words. It is both hot and unsettling.“Heading out?” he asks his beta but his eyes remain on mine. There is a violent energy surging there and I swear thunderstorms have looked calmer.I resist the urge to grab Dylan’s hand and beg him to stay here with me, there is no doubt I’ll be dead if I’m left with this man only.“Yes, I don’t think anything would interest the luna here.” Dylan’s voice is so professional it makes me rethink their friendship. I definitely do not talk to my best friend like that, alpha or not.But it is good, the longer they stand here talking like they belong in a black and white British sitcom, the easier it would be for me to sneak out and r

    ALPHA ZADEI thought I did a good job of keeping my temper at bay after I saw Feyre in the club. I’d told Damien to mess with her, not this. For whatever reason he thought this was a good idea is beyond me and as soon as I leave her, I’m going to find him to fucking deal with hm. What the hell was he thinking?Maybe you should check why you had him do it in the first place? I wave the voice off in my head. Her entire presence in this pack is messing with me and I want her out, I just can’t be very obvious with it but I doubt I have been subtle about my dislike for her.Seeing how clueless she had been about all that is going on around her, it made me see her innocence. At least in that department and damn if it didn’t make me hard because I wanted to be the one to ruin her. That though, is beside the point. I needed to get her out of there, she wouldn’t listen and I’d gone for the easiest thing possible, throwing her off my shoulders.She had held up quite good because honestly I’d ex

    FEYRE“You’re doing great, luna.” I perk up when I hear Dylan’s voice. He waves at me, a broad smile on his face.“Here you go,” I hand the last cookie to the five year old girl missing her two front teeth. I didn’t ask how she was going to eat it, just her smile made my day.“Thank you, luna.” She gave me a toothless grin then ran off to stand beside the woman I assumed was her mother..I dust my hands on the kitchen towel before adjusting my blouse then I head toward Dylan who was standing by the bench in the playground. I feel a little giddy as I go up to meet him, it is not because of his presence but because today went so much better than expected.Delilah, who is an angel, told me the best way to get with the women of the pack is by getting through to their children first, making them like me. It is simple human math, you make someone’s kid like you and talk about you, their parents also warm up to you. I took her advice and decided to bake them cookies with Gertrude’s help of c

    FEYREI ball my hands into tights fists and bite my lips, forcing my feet to stay in place and not swivel to face Alpha Zade like I know they want to. My eyes meet with Dylan’s and there is humor dancing in his, his mouth twitches as he tries to keep his smile at bay.Thank God my heart is cooperating though. I haven’t seen him in days and this surprise appearance would have thrown me off.“Do you have anywhere else to go?” the question is not directed at me so I don’t bother replying or even acknowledging his presence. He wins if he gets a reaction from me.I keep repeating it to stop myself from just giving in and facing him. In truth, a part of me wants to, there is this really crazy part of my brain that wants to just see him. I tell myself it is because I want to see how miserable he looks but I know that is a lie, I’m not even going to try and think of why I actually want to see him.“No,” Dylan finally replies, looking over my shoulder.My breath catches in my throat when I fee

    ALPHA ZADEI always thought I had a good grasp of my control, but after being pushed to the wall one too many times by this woman, I am starting to see I’m pretty much a mere mortal like anyone else and that pisses the hell out of me.She tries to squirm but it is of no use, I let her have her fun and she should have known it wouldn’t last.“Let go of me you fucking brute,” she spits through gritted teeth and I roll my eyes. She is not even trying.“Fight harder,” I reply, sounding as bored as ever.She growled lowly, the sound gravelly and sexy but I know she is not aiming for the latter. Something sharp nips at the skin of my neck and the metallic smell of blood surrounds us. She broke skin.I still don’t move back. I mirror her hold on me, wrapping my hand around her neck. Her mouth opens and she lets out a choked sound. Images that should never associate with her flips through my mind, I push them away as soon as they come and with one last push against the hard surface, I release

I choose the higher road and instead take a cold shower. It works very well for anger and I would highly recommend it.I don’t feel as okay as I would have liked after but it is better than nothing.It is almost dinner time by the time I gather enough courage to leave my room and join the rest of the pack members for dinner. I need to speak with Alpha Lucien about his son. If the past few days are anything to go by then I can’t last that month here. It is barely up to a week here and I want to pull my hair out, and his too. This can’t be good for me.Every interaction brings out a side of me I didn’t even know existed. She is angry and very destructive. It reminds me of my younger self and I’m not really very happy about that.“Woah there, a storm is brewing and it is inside.” A voice says in

    FEYRE If I thought I had something to think about because of the kiss, it just got worse with this news of the summit. Dylan tried to make me feel better by saying it is nothing and it will pass in the blink of an eye. He didn’t realize he wasn’t helping so I just smiled politely and thanked him. After he left I rushed to my phone and called Asher who didn’t pick. It felt like my life was crashing down before my eyes and all I could do was watch the fires consume it. I’m hoping I’ll have something to pick up from the ashes when all of this is done. Before we get to that, I’ll have to meet with alpha Lucien to hear from him why I need to go with his son. Can’t I just stay here and do, I don’t know, luna stuff? When I agreed to do this, I didn’t know they would need me to make public appearances with him. I feel cheated, really. I decided I would meet with him after lunch, if he is there then it would be even better. I am already dressed so I just wait anxiously as the time goes.

    FEYREIt has been two days since Alpha Zade and I kissed and I have been avoiding him, or we have been avoiding each other. He turned back when he arrived at the dining room and I was there last night. He didn’t eat dinner, I was told by Delilah this morning. He didn’t even bother turning up for breakfast today.I have been jumpy all day, since we got back. I ran to my room and immediately locked the door, like I expected him to come knocking it down till I opened. He didn’t and I hate to admit that I was a little disappointed.I’m not sure I’m ready to face him, all the weird energy surrounding us is suffocating.Someone had mindlinked him, that was the only reason we had separated. I remember how I had felt annoyed by whoever caused the interruption.It felt awkward immediately as we untangled from each other. The tension filling the space.As big as where we were standing was, it felt too small and I thought I would suffocate.The ghost of the lust that was still alive in the air,

    ALPHA ZADEI knew she was going to be my downfall from the first time I met her, I needed an escape from her which was why I chose to come here to read. It was one of the places my mother used to spend her time with.The only remnants of what used to be her pack. After she met my father and found out they were mates, they decided to merge their packs. It was the beginning of their problems and till today, I had wished she stayed as the alpha of her pack and never went for love.Love. Just the thought makes me scoff.I didn’t plan on seeing her there, I couldn’t even understand what she was doing there. All members of the pack stayed away from this part of the pack. Only a few teenagers are found loitering sometimes but even that has been prohibited. After almost ten years as alpha, I have accepted that you can’t control or stop them, just make sure they won’t hurt themselves.Some stories about ghosts of the people that died in the fire here returning to haunt the people of the pack m

    FEYREI start walking, following Alpha Zade’s scent and the further I go, the stronger it gets. I start with a slow walk which develops into a jog and before I can even think it through, I find myself running.I hear footsteps coming from behind out of nowhere, also running and I pick up speed. It is hard keeping my attention on his scent when I feel like someone is following me. I don’t want to turn to confirm out of fear that something scary is actually there.With my wolf not in sight, I know fighting here is not going to be a good idea, I don’t know how many they are or how strong they are. If I make the mistake of getting hurt here, no one will find me. I’m noy connected to this pack and there will be no way to mindlink or try to pin down my location.Shit, I didn’t tell anyone I was going out.I reach a turn and come to a halt, my breathing ragged. My lungs are burning and my hair has fallen out of its ponytail.I dance a little on my feet, my head feels hazy and I cough out lou

    FEYREI am not taking Delilah’s relationship advice obviously, I’m not even in a relationship to begin with but she insisted, even offered to help in every way she can, when I got tired of her painting what she thought our relationship would be like, I sent her out of my room and made it a point to lock the door from inside. I have officially run out of energy to deal with her today.I breathe out, scratching the back of my hair absentmindedly. I am standing in the middle of my room with my hands on my waist and no closer to figuring out what I want to do. Now that I have good reason to believe he is not hiding anyone I feel at ease.It is just the mate bond making me feel relief when I shouldn’t even care.I take my jotted notes and hide them in the back of my closet along with the map. Relief courses through me at that thought. I didn’t even know why I cared so much about what he does or how I didn’t want him to be bad. Being irritable and arrogant is way better than being a strai

    FEYREI needed to come up with a new strategy, and fast. The more minutes, hours, days, I spend wasting time—or working and not really making progress—might be another woman getting hurt.How I went from trying to make the alpha feel again, to trying to uncover if he is a sicko that kidnaps women surprises me. I know I have a knack for a little adrenaline and work but I never thought I would be into this as much as I am. With the blueprints safely tucked into the back of my closet, all I need to do now is how to set phase two of my plan into motion. Getting him to trust me. I already know that is going to be the hardest part of my plan. Thanks to Delilah’s blabbering, I got to know that there are cameras in almost every part of this house.I can’t hack into them unfortunately but if I get close to him, I can know how to access them. Learn to deactivate it so I will do that the day I choose to satisfy my morbid curiosity. I’ll go up there and if I find a woman there like I suspect, I

    FEYREI have an ample lot of time on my hands with nothing better to do, and I have realized I can only work out so many times before my body starts aching. I have resorted to calling Asher every day, even if I feel like I’m disrupting his work.He is too nice to mention and he always picks when I call, even offering a game or something so I can feel less idle. I really don’t know what I’ll do with my life without him. I’ve always thought that finding his mate will be what will pull us apart, I know no female wolf will like her mate hanging out with another female all the time, forget that he is like my brother and just the thought of anything that is not platonic with him makes my skin crawl.Asher and I together will be like incest and I am really not a fan of it.Meeting with alpha Lucien didn’t help, not in the way that I thought, his pretty much cryptic answer when I asked why I was here didn’t help. I have tried to not let myself think of it too much. And since Alpha Zade doesn’

    ALPHA ZADEI’d felt like ants were crawling up my skin when I was told my father had returned from his one day trip and he was with Feyre. It reminded me of his trips when my mother was here. He was always traveling for business which equaled him meeting up with his multiple mistresses.A part of me wants to drag her away from him for the fear of him ruining her, but then I remembered her arms around Damien’s neck and I don’t feel the need quite as deep anymore. She is like him anyways, no wonder they get along very well.Mind numbing pain in my jaw makes stars dance in my vision. I’m jolted back to the present with the violent punch and I grunt lowly, both in annoyance and from the sting.The sound of Damien’s feet bouncing on the boxing platform rings in my head before I regain my composure. I give my head a little shake, getting rid of the haziness in my eyes.“Get your head in the game, man.” He groans, coming at me again.Now that I’m paying attention, I see his intention and blo

    FEYRE“How has the pack been treating you?” Alpha Lucien asks, taking a sip from his Macallan.He’d invited me to drink with him after we met outside and since I didn’t have anything better to do, I agreed. It was either this or drowning in my thoughts in my room alone, either the thoughts of the shadow will kill me or that of the alpha.I am very close to hitting rock bottom and I can’t allow that.Also, alpha Lucien’s company is not that bad, especially when you compare it to that of his son’s.“It has been okay,” I mutter, bringing the glass up to my lips though I don’t take a sip, I don’t put it back down either which leaves it hovering awkwardly over my mouth.“That is good. I hope you’ve settled in easily.” There is curiosity in the man’s eyes and in that instant, I know there is more he wants to know and this is not just a friendly chat. This just shows me how I need to be careful around every one of them.No one is excluded. I’d been the one reminding Asher we weren’t allies,
