“I have to go,” I said and held my head down. My hand slowly fell from Gabe’s and when our fingertips graced each other he reached out and pulled me back. “Please don’t. Fuck, Hazel, I'm sorry- that was a dick move,”Gabe tightened the hold on my hand when I tried to pull it free and he cupped my c
I stood in the middle of the room and stared mindlessly at the wall while he awaited an answer- pulling the strings like a puppet master.’Nobody said I could leave. I chose to’’How will I make you learn?’I swallowed the fear that rose and stuck my chin out.’Learn what, my king?’An eery, heavy s
He was a monster, through and through but I couldn't help that his touch set fire to my skin and the pleasure that I felt numb in while my mind shut down.I knew who he was and what he did but I didn't tell him to stop. I couldn’t.My core clenched and my walls tightened around his fingers.“Don’t c
He ran a hand through his thick hair and it fell in locks in front of his predatory-like eyes. When I saw what he took out I felt my eyes grow to twice the size and I shrunk back against the wall.“Don’t be scared, I promise you that this part won't hurt.” He informed and walked over with the toy i
I had to control the surge of anxiety that rushed through me and pressed on my chest when he started undoing his pants.Holy shit, he’s dropping them.I closed my eyes and turned my head down.“Look at me,” he ordered huskily.I drew a sharp breath and looked up at him. He stood half-naked in front
Darian grabbed my hips roughly in his hands and I stayed down with my ass in the air.“This will only feel uncomfortable for a moment,” the cold lube ran down my legs while he gently pressed the cone-shaped metal toy into my ass and I closed my eyes like that would make the pain ease up.“Relax,” h
The morning had come and gone, it had to be noon now when I lay awake on the bed and stared at the ceiling as I had for the past hours.My body was beyond overworked and my legs trembled but I tried to lay as still as possible to avoid putting pressure on the bruises that painted my skin with remind
“Do you know what the worst part is?” I said.Gabe lifted his head, took slow steps across the floor to get closer, and dragged the wooden chair behind him.He turned the chair and took a seat facing me. I don’t know if it was the fear of me snapping at him or his own insecurity about the situation
“Your mother gave you a potion in a needle to stun your abilities?” Gabe was fighting back a growl as he walked in.Darian stood still in the back, equally as angry as his brother but when his eyes landed on me they softened and he smiled as he pushed off from the wall and walked over.Kiera nodded
Darian had to hurry off and help with the cleanup- after which he needed to get word out to all the members of the pack and let them know what had happened. I was aimlessly strolling around the bottom floor, unsure of where to start and what my job was right now. When I neared the door I saw Nora’s
Nora heaved where she stood a few feet away. It was a morbid sight- all the bodies that lay scattered, some in pieces and others like dolls- you’d think they were just asleep.The smell of decay rose in clouds; my eyes wouldn’t be able to see in a shade other than red for quite some time.“You did g
I slid on my knees when an arm shot out about to smack my throat and the ones I needed to fight on the way, I took care of. But I was close now, the Elder’s naturally hooded eyes were focused and his nose wrinkled as I closed the distance between us with a swift hit that he dodged. For an old wrinkl
The Elder staggered back and held a hand over his wounds but from the choking came a laugh, a dark chuckle as he lowered his hand and his wound started healing. That shouldn’t be happening, he should not be healing from that, not that quickly anyhow. Nora’s head whipped to the side when his fist cra
Every visible inch of the Elder’s skin turned cherry red, as he stood unharmed on the sidelines. There there was barely a nick on his wrinkled skin apart from the cut in his hand. The news of my pregnancy was not celebrated by anyone, let alone myself as we stood in the middle of a war field, our nu
“Why?” He sucked on his teeth and looked around the fight starting again.“I can’t say, but you can figure it out.” He grabbed my shoulders and gave me a light shake. “Figure it out, Hazel, and everyone will walk away from this,” he searched my eyes desperately, but his riddles were lost on me.“Yo
“Well it’s a shame that your future Queen chooses her own life over her people, of course enticed by her King to do so I’m certain,” the Elder’s voice scraped my ears like thorns when I walked out. He lifted his hand about to give another grand speech when his eyes rounded and landed on me. “Well,
It was impossible not to listen to the grunts and the last screams of a person before they fell dead. The bloodshed was already massive and the healers were running around to tend to all those who had been hurt.We had volunteers outside bringing in the wounded and the bodies of the dead ones were l
