ADRIAN
“We’ll find her, Alpha. You need to breathe…”Breathe? Breathe?! Would fucking breathing get me, my mate, back?!“Say that one more fucking time, Roger! One more fucking time and I swear to the goddess, it will be your last!” Anger was rising from the deepest, darkest, pits of my chest and I was so lost in it that I couldn’t get my organs to function.I thought the triple connection crisis was bad but this was downright horrible. My mind was so disoriented… I-I couldn’t think straight. Everything around me seemed so unimportant and useless when creeps had their filthy hands on my…Someone’s going to fucking die tonight.‘She could’ve died in that car explosion and now she’s in the hands of unpredictable creeps that can do anything to her! I swear Adrian, if she’s in trouble you have to let me out. I’m not going to sit back on this one. No way!’Fox’s whining was the least of my problems.Dylan tumbled towardAURORAI couldn’t see who was coming because of how poor my eyesight was at the moment but eventually, his face came into the ‘light’ and my eyes tightened. He was an older man, somewhere in his forties… perhaps more older… and I would’ve thought he was a pirate except he didn’t have a hook for a hand or wood for a leg. He frowned at me, like he was looking at some pound of shit some other pounds of shit were forcing him to get rid of. It was an effort not to spit on his face like his fucking followers did to me. Goddess, I wanted him to die in the most gruesome way.“The Alpha will get you,” he parroted, earning laughter from his fellow psychos. I gave him a sweet but deadly smile. “Y’er just like the rest of them. A princesa always needing ‘er man by her side.”He did not just say that. “Excuse me?”“Y’er, I said that. What ya gonna do about it, princesa?” I was ready to spit his words back at him when he suddenly grabbed my left boob and squeezed it hard till I groaned in pain. H
AURORAIt’s been a day since the car incident but it’s felt like much longer after the silent drama I unlocked when we returned… and the scary discoveries I made of myself. As soon as we were back, Adrian wanted me to see a doctor but I didn’t let that happen. A doctor would complicate things. I repeatedly told him I was fine but he wasn’t buying it. I think I also angered him when I said I didn’t want to see anybody or talk to anybody for the rest of the next day. He didn’t take it easy on me, or anyone else for that matter.Maids could come in and bring my food and the first person on my list of those I didn’t want to see anywhere around my room was… him. Of course, he refused and ignored everything else I said after. He still wanted to force me to see a doctor—he also said he’d never take his eyes off me again—but I threatened him. I didn’t want to but it was all I could think of.I was so tired that I don’t even remember what I threatened him with but
KATRINAThough it’s been two days since Carissa and Kendra had settled in the packhouse, it still felt like the first announcement anytime I came across them in the halls or during breakfast or dinner, because it had been so long since I last saw the two rockstars.Carissa and I hadn’t spoken since her father died. It took some years but Mr. Watson was able to set up a company of his own and once his company was ready to step into the business industry, he left the Turner Industries.It was at that time that our best friend connection started breaking. We talked less, and we saw each other less, because we were so busy with our lives. Carissa was trying to settle in the human world and I was trying to build my life here, in Moonstone… being Luna has never been easy.The last time I saw her was when she introduced me to her fiancé—you should’ve seen the surprise, and anger, on my face when I realized that I missed their dating stage—Timothy. It had taken Carissa a long time to get over
AURORA“That’s terrible advice, Lizra. I need to talk to my parents.”She frowned at me, huffing. “So your parents are better counselors than me?”I appreciated how Lizra didn’t make the pregnancy look like it was a big deal, even though it was. It wasn’t my fault that I expected her to jump in excitement and start blabbing about the good news. Good news? How could this be good news?My relationship with Adrian is hanging on a thread and bringing a pup into the situation would only make things worse. What if he hates me because of the pup? What if, because he wasn’t expecting it, he asks me to abort it? I swear to the goddess if he forces me to do that, I’m leaving him.If my mom aborted us when she was pregnant with triplets, we wouldn’t even be here. Why would I steal the chance of life from an innocent baby? I didn’t even stop to think for once that he never used a condom on me and I never even took pills to prevent this from happening in the first place. Stupid, Arie.I was terri
KATRINA I don’t know how long it’s been. I’ve lost all sense of time and for all I cared it could’ve been a day, it could’ve been three days… it could’ve been a week… it could’ve been a freaking month… but all I knew and cared about is what I saw. It’s made me lose my sleep, my appetite, and my fucking mind!Sometimes, I just had to break into maniacal laughter to confirm my insanity and unfortunately, I wasn’t the only one who thought I was crazy. I leaned on the frame of the open door, hugging my pillow so hard like I was wishing it would turn to Lilith so I could strangle the bitch to death. My children were all I could think about and I was not okay.Carissa and Kendra were out there, doing all they could to find them despite the fact it was just early morning—they’ve been doing this ever since she was gone and I feel guilty about it—but I couldn’t thank them more because I’d rather have them helping than trying to comfort my miser
AURORA‘How do you think it feels like… to hold your baby for the first time.’ Evolet sighed, thinning her lips. ‘How do you think mom felt when she took us in her arms for the first time.’‘This has been going on for two days, Arie. Why don’t you just close your eyes and…’‘It’s crazy you know…’ She curled her tail when I cut her in. ‘…how I never even met it, recently just realized that I was pregnant, and immediately fell in love. It was probably three weeks old, no more than a ball and yet it took a big chunk of me away. Isn’t that just amazing?’I couldn’t help my thoughts. It was probably the only thing holding me together and stopping me from entering a series of fits. Perhaps he did me a favor by getting rid of the baby. Maybe he knew all along and it was all a grand scheme to make sure I lost it.The scents lingering outside barely left and I had gotten used to them so much for the past two days, that it would take some
ADRIANI shouldn’t have left her there. I kept telling myself that from the moment I turned my back on her. But she was mad and only I understood the gravity of what I had done. She needed more time—I needed more time—and I’ll give her all the time I can take from staying away from her—before I needed her back by my side—but even that wasn’t a lot. I’ve never regretted something as much as I did now and I couldn’t believe what I did. I traumatized myself and made my nightmare cry by taking the one thing that really connected us, before I knew it even existed, and crushed it. How could I live with myself knowing I was the one who pushed her, that… I killed our pup.I’d always wondered how soon our risky sex would backfire but this was a rebound I'd been waiting for because I thought having one would… do something to help our… It was a stupid idea and the horrible result of it confirms that. I didn’t know how I’d get Aurora to look at me
AURORAI returned my stupid feet to the balcony, realizing that all I needed to stop myself wasn’t even my father’s words or his presence but just memories of him. My heart had already decided that I wasn’t going to do this and when he spoke—right from the first word—my body followed suit but my brain was the only thing that kept fighting.Whoever brought up the quote ‘your greatest enemy is yourself’ knew damn well what he was saying..It’s not every day your dead father shows up so yeah, I’m still in shock at how he suddenly appeared but… he came for me. He came for me when I needed him and that’s the most amazing thing that’s happened to me in a while now—apart from Adrian.I would gladly jump out of a plane or swim towards a sea storm if it meant I’ll see him again.My feet had barely touched the ground when I heard a yell behind me as powerful arms encased my waist and dragged me back. My heart raced when I felt how fast his heart was beating and how terribly his hands were shaki
