I was in the dressing room and heard the chitter chatter of the customers outside. The store was packed and the sales reps were running around like crazy tending to everyone but I just grabbed my dress and skipped right in to try it. Standing in front of the mirror in the dress, I couldn't help but
The second we got back Darian had some pressing matters he had to get to which meant I had time to stash the dress and grab something to eat before I got ready.The clock had to be around five pm and I still hadn't eaten, my stomach growled and I was still reliving our moment in the car. There was
It wasn't an option. I couldn't stay here, I didn't dare to be alone with my thoughts right now.The carpet would catch a dent from me tapping my foot to relieve some anxiety while I waited for the time to pass by. I counted down the minutes and then the seconds until it was time to go.I opened the
We headed straight to the bar, past all of the sweaty bodies writhing tighter on the dance floor.The lights pulsated in different colors to the music and I couldn't hear my thoughts in here. It was perfect. I saw the liquor on the glass shelves behind the bar. The lamps shed a cold light over the
Iliana’s eyes fluttered breathlessly under his scolding gaze and she even fell back a step on the plastic floor. Nora stood back, not at all as confused as I was, and then she crossed her arms and lifted her head. Should I say something?“Iliana-“ “No,” the guy said standing next to me when I was
Iliana didn't say anything, she hurried out of the club but I did see her wipe a tear when she ran up the stairs and it filled me with gratification.Now there was one more issue to deal with.“You knew this?” I asked Nora who stood waiting for the question it seemed.She held her bag, straightened
Nora eventually gave in and stepped aside so that Zade could come through. I think his charm won her over or maybe it was the knowledge that everyone in here was a werewolf that would pounce in a second if he started anything.She walked over to the bar and ordered a drink but not before threatening
I lost footing when our lips touched and the air was sucked out of my lungs. Zade circled his arm around my waist and i felt the hem of my dress riding up, exposing the bottom of my ass when he anchored his fingers into my waist. The taste of whiskey on his lips blended with the tequila on mine and
We were in one of the many malls browsing the stores and filling up on doughnuts and ice cream. Kiera was gawking at an assortment of stuffed animals and I told her to get anything she wanted. The girl walked over and picked a bunny, a grey one, and her eyes flickered around like she was ashamed to
Darian tangled his finger in my hair and pulled my head back. I felt him drawing a sharp breath through his teeth as they pressed against my ear- my legs shook under him when he dragged his lips over my cheek and hovered over my open mouth. I wanted him to do more, to touch me everywhere, to undo my
A growl rumbled from his chest and he pushed us back against the wall and leaned down.He lowered his hand and rested his fingers on my neck while his lips hovered over mine.“Mathilda is spared,” he said huskily.“And so is Kiera, but what about everyone else?” My voice was quiet as it slipped past
I stood outside of Darian’s office about to knock but I kept stopping every few inches from the door and pulled my hand back. My mind was groggy from the lack of sleep, I laid awake all night because whenever I closed my eyes I saw a pair of striking blue eyes, and our conversation played over, and
The little creature was talking a big game, saying things that could get his tongue ripped out and shipped to his mother as a warning for the others but that last bit- it couldn't be true. Why on earth would werewolves team up with the filth that they spent so long getting rid of?Blood was shed, wa
The young man lifted his finger to his lips and didn't make a sound. Did I just say, 'young man'? How old was I getting in this place? I'm not even nineteen and I’m calling someone else a young man, the shiver that shook my bones was valid.“Could you focus,” Trixy snarled.“I called him a young man
The days passed smoother than I ever remember them doing. There was no nausea or whiplash from sudden events that kicked me to the ground and Darian had been surprisingly well behaved. Gabe took Mathilda into town and showed her around, they went to the Royal Training Facilities where she got to see
Nora took me to a corner of the hallway where a lamp shone, the only lamp above a portrait as far as I could tell. A regal woman sat on top of a throne, it was a humongous throne, the back reached up a good meter above her head, yet she sat there as though she and it were the same size with her arms
We took Mathilda through every level of the castle starting from the bottom and working our way through every single room, many of which I hadn't been in myself so that was fun.The gym, locker rooms, and Royal Guard sleep halls were especially unsettling but we closed those doors fast enough. At fi
