"So much anger could be so useful-" "I'll be there. At the camp. I just want tonight." "You have an hour. Or we come to collect and we'll burn your moonwhore if it's a second longer." He left me alone with Alden as I moved to her and fell to my knees. "Elodie..." Her name on my shaky timbre was
Grey's POV I can't remember the last time I'd walked the streets of Chicago, but I can guarantee I've never done it covered in this much blood. Caked in my nails, tangled in my hair, and staining every fiber of my remaining clothing. But every breath, every step, and every moment felt empty without
Grey's POV Two Years Later "Please tell me you found my son..." Mrs Smirnoff asked, hands raised to her mouth with the hopeful look of a mother decimated with the shake of my head. Maybe if she'd ensured her son had the morals of hard work and selflessness than he wouldn't be a current missing per
"There is something that strikes me as odd..." I humored him by a turn, clasping my hands together to showcase my frustration. "You didn't know her before she came to Chicago. Yet you bought her an apartment, furnished it, and from what your financial records show, it wasn't stopping there. All th
Happy New Year to those finding this the day it was published!
Grey's POV This may have been my first time arrested, but it was not my first time in a cell. These bars holding me were not made of anything but steel and bolts I could easily use one kick or a clutch of my hand to bend it out of place to escape. It would be difficult to explain which was why I re
Elodie's POV It has been three days since my encounter with him in that bathroom and every moment since he's been my every thought. Although Henry assured me he was concealed behind the bars of his father's prison, I couldn't help but feel him nearby. Any questions I asked about why he may have com
Grey's POV Without substantial proof, for the time being, I was among the streets of New York City once again. Only this time, it was with Spinner's words remaining true. I couldn't move an inch without feeling everyone's eyes on me, just waiting for me to make a damning move as an excuse to throw
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
