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
The club was empty of any witnesses by now. The only ones here were me, Nora, Darian, and his royal guards. If they killed us, nobody would know.Darian took a visibly deep breath, he took a step closer so I took one back but I immediately hit the doorframe and though he scared the shit out of me,
Kiera, the name didn't seem familiar, I hadn't heard it before but Zade seemed awfully sure that Darian would know it.He left after the very brief visit and now I just sat on the edge of the bed with my feet firmly on the floor in case I needed to spring up as fast as possible.I waited for him to
DARIAN’S POVKeira. That name hadn't been spoken inside this palace for years. Nothing so beautiful belonged here. The only other time I felt that was when I brought Hazel home after the Hunt. Every step felt like it defined the turn of the world and the halls seemed longer, infinite even, when I
“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
