Theodore POVI was sinking underwater in slow motion. I didn't feel like I was drowning. I was just sinking. Slowly. The water felt cold yet comforting. I wasn't afraid at all. It felt more and more as if I were dreaming instead of being fully awake which I knew I had to be.I wasn't asleep. I would have remembered falling asleep. Wouldn't I? Had she choked the air out of me when she'd turned into the snake? A whispery voice told me, "Open your eyes, Theo."Shoot! I hadn't even realized my eyes were closed! Maybe I did fall asleep. Maybe this was all a dream. A dream would make more sense than waking up underwater yet not drowning...I opened my eyes and looked around. I could see everything clearly even though I was underwater. My vision was more clear than it had ever been, in fact, and I took a deep breath to test---yes, I could breathe underwater! When did I learn how to breathe underwater? How could I breathe underwater? I am a werewolf and last time I checked, werewolves didn
Irinira POVI could feel myself growing weak, so I had to leave him. I wasn't supposed to use my sex magic when the sun was out. It drained me. It was either I keep feeding on him or leave him alone until the nightfall.I didn't want to leave. I wanted to spend every second with him. I had never felt so attracted to someone before, but he felt different. I didn't want to devour him all at once, I wanted to savor him bit by bit.I pulled away against my will and ran farther away from him. I stayed in my human form but changed my look.I couldn't be that girl Charlotte since I promised Theo I wouldn't take her form again. And I couldn't be the girl Theo called Bunny since I wanted to hide from him for a while.So instead of Bunny's long silver hair, sharp nose, and amber eyes, I now had short black hair, brown eyes and a cute button nose. I had seen a girl with that look walking around the neighborhood, so I decided to borrow her face for a minute.I wanted to explore the neighborhood.
Analyn POV Magic pounded through my veins as I watched the fake Athena attack Konrad. Her lasso of rope was wrapped around my son tightly, pinning his arms to his sides. He looked fire-breathing angry; I hoped, for the first time, Konrad did spit fire at her to fight her off. If she hurt him---!"You've been after Theo! I know you for the demon you are, succubus!' Cold iron was the first line of defense against a demon. Our backyard was protected for the safety of our children. They were special with their abilities as well as being the sons and daughter of an Alpha, but they were still small children. My eyes fell on their playset and I used magic to push the demon back as fast and hard as I could until she hit the metal slide. I knew I wouldn't have much time. Her reflexes might be slowed because it was daylight right now, but she was a demon of who knew what kind of power---I had to get her secured before she hurt my babies! Grabbing the nearest swing with my mind, I tugged i
Theodore POVAnger increased my response to Analyn's attack on my Bunny. The helpless look on Bunny's face made my heart squeeze.I honestly hadn't intended to shake Ana so hard. Her head had snapped back and forth on her neck as if she was a ragdoll in my arms; I realized, too late now, Ana hadn't fought back because she'd reacted to Ambrose's Alpha Command to "Stop." "I didn't mean..." I was horrified. I didn't mean to keep shaking her after she stopped already. Ambrose cut me off with a slice of his hand through the air. His mouth was a thin line as he took Ana from me, holding her in his arms as if she was far more fragile than we knew her to be. "I'm taking Bunny away. The demon. Demoness. Succubus. I'm taking her." My voice shook. The alpha was eerily calm and it was never a good thing. If I hurt Ana in any way, I was doomed. I knew how deeply Ambrose loved her and he wasn't above to kill his own beta for her. I couldn't decide what to call Bunny with Ambrose staring at me
Irinira POV"Take your clothes off." I wasn't in the mood to play nice. Seduction was for sinners who wanted to pretend they were saints, not sinners who were embracing their sins with me. Neither I nor Theo needed to be told which category he fell into now. "You aren't going to offer to play a game with me? Fulfill a fantasy?" Theo said. A small smile teased his lips as he looked at me. My eagerness must be amusing to him. I didn't have the patience for his playing or any playing at all. My hunger was a gnawing ache in my belly; my whole body hurt from the burns inflicted by the iron the woman had used on me. Grimacing, I offered, "If you close your eyes, I can change my voice. I can't do anything fancy right now. I'm hurt. I'm hungry. I'm not able to offer more. Take it or leave it." If Theo chose to 'leave it' with me, then I was going to get gone as fast as I could hobble away. I'd have to leave him to find another victim which I didn't want to do. Prey was pretty easy to
Theodore POVI snaked my arms around Irinira, refusing to let go as she squirmed. We had been lying in bed together after I had made love to her all night. We had lost count on how many times."Let go already!" she let out a blissful laugh."Nope. You are not disappearing on me tonight, Bunny," I laughed along with her. She had shifted back into her human body after having her fill with me."You know my real name, so why do you keep calling me Bunny? Do you hate it?"I laughed again as she had such a serious look on her face. "No, silly. I just find you pretty, so the nickname is fitting."Irinira frowned. "I am not pretty. You saw my real form. I look like a monster. Nothing like those sexy wolf girls you are used to. So if you think I am pretty, you're gone crazy or you are making fun of me."I pressed her harder against the bed and hovered over her, my eyes fixated on her beautiful amber eyes that were full of lust. She licked her lips as if she was still hungry for me, but there w
Irinira POVI made myself invisible as soon as the Alpha barged in on our intimate time. I was disappointed that I couldn't spend more time with Theo.I was acting like I wanted to go, but in reality, I had no intention of leaving him.I stayed in the shadows so I could overhear their conversation. I wanted to make sure he was safe. What if that Alpha was here to punish Theo? I didn't want him to be hurt because I was careless.I heard the Alpha say he wanted to get rid of me. It was nothing new. I knew I did not belong here, and it was almost time for me to go. The pull from this earth was not as strong as the pull I felt from my demon world. I was weaker here. I was on edge.If Analyn attacked me and tried to send me back using her fae spells next time, I won't be able to make it.But I felt a flutter in my stomach when I heard Theo say he wanted me to stay with him. The sincerity in his voice made me want to try harder not to leave. Maybe I'll go to Analyn and beg for her forgivene
Irinira POVDemons don't fall in love.I thought as I stared at the fae in front of me. She had these utterly ridiculous words coming out of her mouth, and I didn't know what to say.So I laughed."I'm not in love with Theo. You are wrong," I nearly whispered after I got done laughing.Analyn shrugged. "Yeah? What else would you call it? Chemical imbalance? Do demons have chemical imbalances like people? I know you bleed, but are you really alive?""I...I don't know." My head was cloudy with confusion. "But please, let me stay here a little bit longer. I promise I will leave eventually and I won't harm anyone. I just want a little more time with Theo."Ana went quiet and furrowed her eyebrows. She looked like she was considering it."Alright," she said after a while. "I will let you stay. But keep away from my children until I can fully trust you.""What about the alpha?" I asked."I will try to reason with Ambrose. He may not listen at first, but he loves me. So if I explain some thi
