"Jude said those exact words to you?" I ask.

"Yes."

Although my heart's shattering like broken glass, I say, "That's what you guys' intimate talk was about?"

"Mhmm."

"Is he in love with you too?"

"What? No! And I'm not in love with Jude. After we talked, he explained why I felt that way. Everything I shared was his words. I just repeated his wise counsel to you because it made perfect sense. Also, as you know, he can mate by biting. He once thought it was the only way, but now he knows there's a deeper connection involved when mating."

"So you don't love Jude?"

"Have you heard a word I said? Yes, I love Jude, but I'm not in love with him. He's going to skin me alive for telling you this, but I kissed him."

"When!?"

"When we first went to Knight Island," he says with a yucky face, "It was disgusting."

"Did he kiss you back?" I wince.

"Not at all. He tried to kill me."

I watch him, hands over my mouth. Waving me off, he says, "Go ahead and laugh."

An uncontrolled laugh erup

    I'm in the mirror analyzing my back tattoo. Gino asks, "Do you like it?""It'll have to do."Gino swipes my credit card, and it declines. He scolds, "No, Chiara! Not this time!""Gino, you know I'm good for it. I need to make an impression on some lames tonight. I promise it'll be in your bank account by noon tomorrow."While he massages his temples, I gently kiss him. Once we lock eyes, I give my lips a sensual lick, saying, "Thanks, baby."Lucy is waiting in her Jeep for me. She's wearing a pastel purple mid-drift knit top and matching shorts. As I enter the car, I say, "Don't you look gorgeous?""Thanks. Let me see your back. Gliding her finger down my spine, she whispers, "It's awesome like you."Two guys are gawking our way. I motion for her to come closer, and we let our tongues massage for a few seconds, and then we kiss. When we look up, those guys are entranced. Lucy and I burst into laughter before we speed off.

    Dawn was livid and demanded I tell her everything. Then, Noor's finding of those sacred grounds was gold. It was then that Dawn's disposition flipped toward me. She returned supportive and gushed over my being the chosen one, touting, "Only Chiara Wolf could lead us into greatness!"The praise and flattery made me believe I was superior to the rest of the coven.Now that I had resurrected the werewolf spirit, Dawn was too anxious for me to find a mate. During our bonding time, Lucy would question why Dawn was in such a rush.A full moon was near, so I was gone into hiding. Phoebe and Dawn didn't know Lucy was still in the office. They were debating, and then Lucy overheard Phoebe say, "Chiara gave you the formula, so why didn't you shapeshift instead? Her arrogance and narcissism make her untrustworthy. Aren't you nervous she'll find the Alpha and turn on us?"Dawn answered, "Not at all. Her book tells her that Alpha's are picky. If he doesn't like her, he'll discard or even kill her.

    Wilson and I sneak out without telling Andrew. The closer we get to the villa, the scarier Wilson becomes. He grabs my arm, saying, "Something's so off, Ajay. You don't feel that?" "If you're asking if I'm afraid, of course I am. But we have to push through this. Chiara needs us."The villa is visible in the distance, and Wilson says, "Nope. This is wrong. Jude is right. We need to stay put until he instructs us what to do next. Suddenly, we hear talking. Crouching in the greenery, we eavesdrop. It's Micah and Andrew. Micah says, "That wasn't the plan. We have to convince the others to leave before she starts this battle with Jude."Andrew huffs, "Bro, we're in too deep now! If we turn on Deena, we'll be killed. Jude's never going to side with us! We've already betrayed his trust."Wilson and I glanced at one another, then heard Deena ask, "What are my two warriors discussing?""You lied to me, Deena," Micah answers."Oh, Micah, stop it.

    Upon entering Jude's home, Andrew and Wilson are in the kitchen waiting on me. Wilson is sipping his beverage and intensely watching me. Andrew glances up, asking, "Where did you go?"Eyeing Wilson, I answer, "To the beach. I needed some air.""That was mighty brave of you, considering we have an ancient witch lurking who wants you dead.""I refuse to live in fear because Jude abandoned us," I sigh.Now, Andrew's staring at Wilson. Squinting, he asks, "What's on your mind, Wilson?"Wilson stutters, "M-Me? N-Nothing! I'm just anxious as to why Jude left us like this.""Well, I questioned Deena and Micah, and it seems he's left the island."Glaring at Andrew, I reply, "Without notifying anyone?""It's Jude, Ajay. Who can stop him?""I guess," I huff, then focus on Wilson. Momentarily, we sit dazed and in our own heads. Palms on the table, and Andrew says, "Well, I'm going to check on Chiara, then go to bed."Wilson goes to tell him she's gone. Discreetly, I shake my head to get him to

    Rolling to his back, he looks away, answering, "I think so."Immediately, I hopped out of bed and went to the kitchen. Andrew and Wilson were conversing. Wilson smiled, seeing me. Andrew sighed, "I'm sorry about last night, Ajay. Wilson told me what you guys heard.""What did she hear?" Jude enters, grabbing my waist.Gently pulling away, I go to the coffee maker. Feeling my tears welling up, I glance at Jude and then hang my head. Andrew asks, "What's wrong?""Don't worry about her. Answer my question?""I've been pretending to team up with Deena like Micah. Wilson and Ajay heard me scheming, and Ajay went to tell you immediately," answered Andrew. Now facing me, he says, "I'm sorry I didn't trust you. Knowing you and Wilson were willing to take on that fight changed my perception of the both of you.""What do you mean scheming?" asks Jude.Andrew replies, "Deena took Chiara's powers during the full moon, which made us attack her.

    My dad begs, "Chris, please don't do anything. I know you've grown to care for Ajay, but her boyfriend is extremely dangerous.""It's her ex-boyfriend, Dad. You've taught me everything you know about combat. Grandad and my uncle fought in wars. You fought crime and served our government, but I can't handle one man?""Of course you can, but Jude is different.""You never have any confidence in me. I've excelled in everything, yet I'm never good enough to accomplish crap for you!""Christopher Elom Pratt! How dare you disrespect your father under his roof!"My dad grabs my mom's waist and whispers, "It's okay, Lily. I got this.""Bruce, I won't have my son being with some devil you brought into our home.

    To stop Chris's screaming, I chomp off his head. Soon, I heard a woman say, "It was coming from this area."His head is in my mouth. I open it as wide as it goes and swallow his head whole. It's lodged in my throat, so I gag until it comes out. It thumps when it hits the ground, and the male voice asks, "Did you hear that? Or was that thunder?"Luckily, they walk the opposite way. Carefully, I drag Chris further into the trees and start eating him to get rid of his body. The more I chew, the more delight I experience, but my heart hardens.It's a strange but real change that my soul can feel. It's as if the blood pumping through my heart is turning to ice. Cold and prickly. As I'm chewing, a flashlight lands on me. Both their eyes are bulging out of their sockets. Too horrified to make a sound, tears stream down the woman's face as she and the man ever so slowly back away. Flesh between my teeth, I growl, and they take off running. Once Chris is consumed, I return to my rental, pop th

    It's a hot, muggy day in August. I'm sitting at a bar on the beach when an older gentleman asks, "Is this stool taken?"Tipsy, I shake my head no. He sits and tells the bartender, "Cachaca, please. And another of whatever he's drinking on me," the older gentleman winks.Side-eyeing him, I sigh, "Thanks."Hand extended, he greets, "Hi, I'm Samuel, and you are?""Zee. Zee Lowry.""Pleased to meet you, uh, Corporal?"I huff, "Private First Class.""Oh, you're newly enlisted?" asks Samuel."I'm not trying to be rude, but I just want to chill. I appreciate the drink, but I don't need a conversation. Excuse me."Lifting his drink, he toasts it to me, saying, "Sorry to bother you, Private Lowry. Enjoy your evening."The following evening, my buddies and I return to that bar. We're sharing sex stories and being guys when I hear, "Good evening, Private Lowry."Glancing back, I beheld a very dapper Samuel.

    The same night I googled Dr. Houseman. He has a private practice across town. I schedule an appointment, but he's not available until next month. Uncomfortable going to anyone else, I keep the appointment and buy a home pregnancy test.My sweaty palms wet the box, while my trembling hand held the stick steady. I waited the instructed time, and it came back inconclusive. I run to the drugstore and purchase three more tests. They all yield the same result.Justine told me Delilah was discharged from the ICU and apologized to Zelma. Delilah told Zelma, "I've been consumed with Jude and finding his truth for so long that I haven't even lived. These days I grieve for Mama. She was so deep into this that there was no way she could walk away and live a normal life.I've had Eve only a few weeks, and I love her as my own. Mama loved Jude. She did what she thought was best.

    I left Floyd perplexed. Soon, I heard Jude questioning me about the short story Eve wrote about Samuel and his brother. Plopping onto my couch, I close my eyes and concentrate, hoping to remember anything significant.Suddenly, I recall Mr. Knight saying, "I hear my mother's singing in my head and whisper, "Dreamers? No, filthy dreamers. My bloodied fingers thumb through my Bible. Weak and dying, I circle the chapter at the top of the page. My shaky hand draws an arrow, and I write, This is his name."Immediately, I rushed and opened the small suitcase I had taken from the island. It has Jude's Bible inside. I remove it, go to the table of contents, and find the Book of Jude. Jude had circled the title in blood.As I stare at the encircled name, I realize that Samuel VII and Mr. Knight are the same. Samuel is the baby's father. The story instructed the Knight's lineage to name his son and the next Alpha, Jude.Soon I'm wondering why Samuel slaughtered his students. Did he hope to be k

    Paige offers to go with me to see Mrs. Freer. I decided it was best to go alone. Walking on campus was strange. It seems like eons ago this was where I spent most of my time. Upon entering the administration building, I see familiar faces. Some greet me while others walk by, oblivious to who I am. I exit the elevator on our floor and see Mrs. Freer talking with two coworkers.Seeing me, she does a double-take. Quickly, she ends her conversation and heads toward me. "Ms. Vernon. This is a bewildering surprise.""Hi, Mrs. Freer. My name's Mrs. Knight now, and yes, I'm sure seeing me is surprising.""Mrs. Knight, wow. Well, congratulations. Now, may I know why you're here?""I need to speak with a professor, preferably one knowledgeable in astronomy.""Professor Floyd was a friend of Phyllis's. She asked for the same help right before she passed.""Mrs. Freer, it's terrible what happened to Phyllis. I'll admit, I was pretty heartless in the past, but I'm a new person. If possible, I'd a

    I decide to wait in the car and let Justine handle everything. Once Zelma opens the door, she sees me. Instantly, she gripes, "What is she doing here?"Justine says, "She needs our help, Zelma.""From the moment I first helped her, it's been nothing but tragedy for those I love. You promised me you wouldn't go to Knight Island.""If we hadn't gone, Ajay would've been stranded there.""I don't care!" Zelma shouts."We're not like that, Zelma." Justine sighs.As much as it hurts, Zelma is right. Since the moment I stepped on Knight Island, it's been nothing but devastation and death. Once we get to their home, I retrieve my suitcase and leave. I tell Justine, "I promise I'll be in touch."Before I exit, Zelma stops me, saying, "I don't hate you, Ajay. And I understand the hold Jude has on you.

    I'm hiding in what's left of this burned cabin when I hear voices. Realizing they're women, I rush out into the open. I see a woman running, and two chasing her. Then I hear, "Shellie, stop running!"I see Justine and cry out, "Justine! Over here!""Ajay? Is that you?" Justine shouts.Immediately, Shellie stops and runs toward me. Dottie and Justine come to me as well. They all stood staring my way, speechless. Slowly, Justine reaches to touch me and asks, "Are you okay?"The only thing I could do was cry. All three of them huddle around me. These strange sounds in the distance make Dottie say, "I think we need to go.""Are you alone? Where's Jude?" Justine asks."I'm alone, and Dottie's right. We need to leave."They have food and liquor on their boat. All three care for me until I'm no longer trembling from fear. We're miles away from the island when Justine asks, "Do you want to talk about it?"How do I explain this? Honestly, I don't know what happened myself. Coughing to clear my

    Zelma doesn't know. I've been looking for Ajay forever. After I learned she practiced witchcraft, I told Zelma. Zelma warned me, "Knight Island was demonic. We just didn't know it. Dad was privy to some information but tragically learned it wasn't just superstition and ghost stories."I'd called Ajay but she never called back. Then, I decided to wait for her in the library's occult section. Afraid other students would see me and think I was a witch, I started asking about her instead.The student aid at the desk knew who she was. He told me, "Ajay is great. I haven't seen her in a minute, but sometimes she'd go to the coffee shop down the street."Cafe Sheol made me look more sketchy than sitting in the library. Only the barista and I are present. I go to the counter, order a tall latte, and ask, "Hi Cecily, I'm Justine. Do you remember a girl named Ajay being a customer?"Before I can describe her, Cecily answers, "Of course. I love Ajay. Why do you ask?"I explained how we lost cont

As I gaze out into the stars, I think, I wish someone loved me.The Michaels have four foster children. All four of us are girls. We're all around the same age.

    After weeks of sailing, we find nothing. We return to Brazil, and Jude says, "Let's just go home."The closer we get to Knight Island, the more uneasy I feel. Early morning, we leave Florida. Soon, the island appears, but it's no longer the paradise I knew. It's burning wasteland. Wide-eyed, I look at Jude, but he's expressionless. I stammer, "W-What happened?"Knight Island looks exactly like the island I spent a night alone on. Had I swam all the way here and then returned to another location near Columbia? Our boat hits a rock behind this burned-down villa. Jude anchors our boat and then stretches out his hand. Nervous, I lightly place my palm in his. He helps me to shore. Once he releases me, I stare into his eyes.Exhaling, he pans across the island, saying, "They would've told my secret. I start to panic, but a still voice calmly says, "Agree with him."Through a shaky voice, I say, "You're right, babe."Jude cuts his eyes at me and says, "Come here. I'll carry you."He lifts

Each innocent face intently gazes at Mrs. Dotson, anticipating her reading.She looks up and sees me standing in her doorway. Her eyes light up, and she says, "Kind day to you, Mr. Knight.
