“Luke!” I run to him and jump into his arms before he has time to respond. He spins me around a few times and gives me a big squeeze before setting me back down.
“Why did you have to go and get kidnapped? You drama queen! I was having such a good night at that ball!” He smirks at me and then prepares for the jab he knows is coming.
“Dickhead!” I barely get the words
I open my eyes to Colin's chiseled chest in front of my face and relief floods me as I know I am safe. I cuddle into him and take a deep breath. I hear a small hum coming from inside of him and when I look up at his face he's still asleep.Not wanting to wake him, I get off the bed as silently and softly as possible. Standing from the bed my legs feel like a newborn giraffe and I giggle at myself. Last nights activities come back to me and I know I’m going to walk a little funny today.
During lunch the feeling of someone watching me doesn’t go away. It is hard to shake the sense that something bad is going to happen soon.The cold from the winter outside seems to be inside of my body because I keep shivering uncontrollably. I am in my head going over everything that might happen when someone plops down next to me at the table.“Since when are you the damsel in distress?&
When I finally make it in front of him, his eyes dance back and forth between mine for a moment, looking like he is in complete awe.“Elenor Charlotte Miner.” Colin's voice is shaky but so sure.
"It's Tori. She mind linked her parents where she is. She is asking for me specifically to come get her." He looks relieved that she is ok, which I understand, but it still stings."Colin, I don't think that's such a good idea!" He looks at me with confusion. "Let me explain."I tell him about the Winter Ball and how Victoria and Shane are mates. He is shocked to say the least but happy for her, until
As quickly as I see him, Shane slips back into the woods and disappears. My stomach drops and my heart races. How did he cross the border undetected by our patrol warriors and how does he know which room is mine. How long has he been watching me?I reach for the balcony rail and scan the trees for any sign of him. He’s gone, but this eerie feeling is not leaving. Every hair on my body is standing at attention and I can sense Leia’s ears are fully perked up. I release the breath I didn’t know I was holding and drop my head.
There, sitting on the bed is Colin with Victoria laying with her head in his lap, while he combs his fingers through her hair for comfort.My blood instantly boils and Leia is practically clawing at my head to get out and kill. I can feel my eyes go black. I am not fighting her for control, but she knows not to shift."Ellie! Leia?" Colin gasps and stands from the bed, stunned to see me in front of hi
Today has been awful. It’s my first day being engaged, but I have spent it being angry with my fiancé and mate. It’s currently 7:50, and we have about ten minutes until the trial.I keep thinking about what happened in the hospital room. Leia and I took things too far and I know we should at least let Colin try to make it up to us.For now I’m going to make him sweat it out an
As soon as she does, I bend down only coming back up when she is above me, sending her flying and crashing onto the ground with a snap. A broken rib perhaps.She gets up and immediately charges at me again, this time coming in with a right hook. I block it and uppercut her to the chin making her stumble backwards while spitting out blood.We go back and forth a few times, not shocking since I’m
