I closed my eyes to keep any temptation at bay while holding out my arm for support. She used it, lowering herself beneath the veil of bubbles, and whimpering when coming to rest against the head of the tub. Only when she let go of my arm did I decide to look at her and it wrecked my own pulse to se
"I don't want to run anymore. I don't want to be afraid anymore. I want to be something they fear." "What are you asking me exactly?" I begged it wasn't where my hopeful mind asked. If she wanted to tomorrow, I would make her my official Luna, holding her hand as the transition became the most unbe
Elodie's POV "Are you sure you don't want to take any more time and rest?" Grey called from the other side of the bedroom door, his presence just as comforting as it had been the last day at his side. Insisting I stay beside him to ensure nothing more came of Adam's vile attempts, it seemed to have
"How did you do that?" "My great-grandfather made it work on the body's electricity and gunpowder. Quite the alchemist..." As we continued, my eyes noticed the rooms set along the corridor. They weren't rooms meant for storing family heirlooms, they were more like cells. When I looked back at him,
I followed his every action with precision as it was enough for my body to feel loose with each exercise. Everything from the yoga poses to the breathing techniques and I was feeling more prepared for what was ahead. "Okay...first thing's first is to assess your surroundings..." He explained while
Grey's POV "You could have gone a little bit easier on me..." She complained as we came over the threshold of her apartment. I ensured each lock was in place on her door and caught her trying to rub her own muscles with fail. She eventually gave up, tugging her shoes until she could toss them away,
"How are you..." "Relax..." "I can't! It feels..." Her quickly rising chest made me desperate to make a further connection. I mended it by kissing against her neck and worsening the circles made on her inner thighs as she continued to shake. Her body rose and fell as if my fingers were at her cent
Elodie's POV Jolting upwards to the erotic dream that left my underwear pasted to my body, I rushed to my feet to find a distraction from this ache. Maybe if Grey wasn't asleep a few meters away, I would relieve it in the times I did before him. But in fear of him hearing me, I decided a cold showe
Grey's POV “I had this entire plan to go to dinner and then the boardwalk. I’d even rehearsed what to say at least a thousand times today…But I realized that when you’ve lived through what we have, the promises were already there. To me, a ring a no ring, yes or a no, my heart is and always will be
Elodie's POV SIX MONTHS LATER I'd already been waiting three hours after his meeting and my patience was too thin to test. He'd been acting shifty all day, almost as if he was hiding something. In fact, I knew he had been with the way he shuffled away from me whenever I tried to look at the screen
"I swear to God if I survive this I am going to become a demanding girlfriend." I grinned at the title she gave herself that I loved hearing, even in anger. Maybe even more so. "I will do everything with a smile. Now please, baby, you have to go." She sighed before standing. Leaning over me with a
Grey's POV I wasn't lying when I told her it was a risk. Not only to dance with death but in the return. Knowing if I were to wake as a human that it would be without the strength needed to protect her from the elements now out of my control, I felt more vulnerable than being formerly encaged in si
"It was a risk, but I had a feeling it would pay off to bet on you.""What are talking about?""Kinsey explained how she was able to become a human after I killed her the first time. Tied to Aslan's line, he gave his life as Alden had done for you. Since you were the one to kill me...I was able to c
Elodie's POVI never wanted to be one of those girls dependent on anyone. But losing someone like Grey Alluna was as if the sky no longer held stars, the gravity was purposeful but hollow in my heart and my head, and the oxygen I was forced to take was more painful than needed. I took mindless step
"Now, I'm giving you your punishment." I came down on her as I had done over a decade ago, teeth sinking into her neck, as she whimpered beneath me. When she would awaken again, it would be in a transition once again. Born a wolf, she never had to feel that painful shift between human and beast, the
Grey's POV It wasn't the abrupt silence of the crowd or the taste of the blood fading from my tongue that returned me to my humanity. It wasn't even the pull of her pleas dragging that part of me to the surface in a painful lurch. It was the sound of her heart accepting death without regret. The wa
"You smell so sweet." His voice had even changed. Where a smokiness existed behind some words now came a thick brutality. It was almost demonic. "How I've never fed on you before is a wonder I won't force myself to take for much longer. But I like a chase..." He released me with my broken hand and
