Torn Between the Alpha and the Vampire Chapter 49: More Secrets
I awoke with a dry throat that forced me to go downstairs to get some water. My head was pounding and I suspected that it was because of my dehydration. I felt completely discouraged and every time I thought about Phil and Marina, I felt sickened. Another thing that hit me hard, of course, was the fact that I would have been torn to pieces by those wolves if she hadn't worn that dress to carry my scent. And there was that wolf, of course, the one I felt I knew so well yet had never laid my eyes on. I couldn't get the look in its eyes out of my mind. The feeling that came over me was impossible to describe and some of it still lingered inside of me, that I knew for sure. But why? What was it?I genuinely couldn't figure it out. I was glad to see the whole house empty. I didn't come across anyone or accidentally heard a conversation I shouldn't have heard. I opened the fridge and drank as much water as my stomach could handle. I felt a little sick afterward but at least it was a pos

‘Tomorrow’ came and went, and I didn’t feel a single change. I could positively say that I felt better, though. I didn’t feel like crying every time I thought about Marina, which was a great improvement. I could see that things were going to get better and I’d be able to put this behind me. Felix and I occasionally came across each other but we never mentioned any of the more intimate moments we shared. It was just something that we couldn’t talk about, and it was better that way. I wouldn’t know what to say if I was ever confronted by the situation.It was just something that would have to stay forgotten. I was surprised one evening when he came up to my room and leaned against the doorframe as he watched me eat. I’d started eating upstairs because every time I walked past the living area, I felt uncomfortable. The other vampires never treated me badly—I’d say that Jay was just indifferent to me—but a change had happened almost overnight and they barely interacted with me. I coul

I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I hardly noticed when the car came to a stop.Fear enveloped me. I couldn't even think. The seconds seemed to transform into minutes as I anxiously waited for the trunk to pop open. I didn't know what happened after they opened it. I had a pretty good idea but it wasn't one that I wanted to think about because it ended with me dead. The werewolves hated me, after all.I nearly screamed when it finally opened but instead I stared at the man standing above me with wide eyes. He looked me over like he was calculating whether or not he would be able to carry me to wherever it was I was going to be taken. With a sigh, he then looked up and said, "Jules, bring the rope."I saw this as the only opportunity I would ever have to escape because after this, I'd be bound and it was over. I couldn't just stare at him and do nothing. This was my life, and I owed it to myself to try.He didn't see me raise my foot to kick him where it really hurts. He bent ov

I lost complete track of time. Being locked in a cage wasn't at all what I expected it to be. Time seemed to be frozen in time, especially considering I couldn’t tell whether it was day or night. Everything was the same, and my dread only grew. I couldn’t help but look at the dead man on the cage next to mine and wonder how long he’d been there. He honestly looked to be about a hundred years and every time I looked at him I got the creeps because I imagined myself in his place, starving and rotting here. Nobody came for me. I didn’t receive any information. Then again, I didn’t expect them to. They wanted me to be afraid and terrified. This was awful. I didn’t even know if I had it in me to hope anymore but for some reason, I wasn’t despairing. I felt dead on the inside, which I supposed was different from being calm. Maybe this was how one felt when they were sentenced to death. This was a death sentence, after all. My thoughts were all over the place. Not being able to stand a

We kissed until my lips felt chapped and painful.Felix had no interest in keeping his hands to himself. His hands roamed my body freely. The butterflies in my stomach didn't rest, not for a second. I could hardly believe that we were doing this right here. Everything felt like a dream but I didn't mind; I had grown sick and tired of my reality. It didn't take long for things to escalate. His hands were now under my T-shirt and I felt them inching closer to my breasts, which ached with the need of his hands on them. I felt my nipples straining against the material of my bra almost painfully, begging to be released. Felix sensed this urgency, or maybe he read it in the depths of my mind. I didn't know and didn't care. All I could focus on now was how he was peeling my shirt off my body almost impatiently, a wild look in his eyes. I was now only in my bra. The ground beneath me was cold and merciless and his lack of significant warmth wasn't helping, but the fire burning deep inside

Watching Felix get dressed without being able to do a thing to stop him shattered me.The feeling in me was bittersweet. I knew he had to do this to give us a chance to be together but at the same time, I worried that he wouldn't come back. There were so many of them up there that it would be impossible for him to be able to fight them off, especially without help.I wanted to cry. Why did every beautiful thing have to come to tragic ends?Felix didn't look happy about it either. In fact, it was shocking to me how the mood had changed so suddenly and drastically. Everything was a dream a few minutes ago and now we were silently getting dressed in the dungeon, afraid to speak each other's minds. "I wished you'd let me help," I said, breaking the silence. He look away from me. "It's better if you don't."I took a step toward him and held his hand. He looked up, meeting my gaze. In his eyes, there was a sadness that was contagious. I asked him, "Will you come back to me? Promise me tha

I kept staring at Felix, unable to look anywhere else.After his last confirmation of this horrible, unbelievable plan, two werewolves went down the hole again and it seemed everyone was waiting for their return and nothing else was said. I stared and stared at him, hoping that he would shake his head at me or signal that it was all a misunderstanding. I was hoping for this even though I heard his confirmation. I heard him say ‘correct’. He confirmed everything Father said. I was a fool but a fool with hope. Felix stared back at me with an expression so blank now that it was frightening. I was scared shitless now, I couldn’t deny it. Because if I understood things correctly, he wasn’t here to save me. No, quite the contrary. He was here to sell me to these people in exchange for his brother, who had allegedly been starved by a werewolf pack. He told me that personally so what was all of this about?Behind me, there was movement and noise. I had to look and see what the two werewol

I was awoken by a loud and terrible rattling sound. I cracked an eye open and saw a werewolf hitting the bars of my cage with a long piece of metal. The look on his face was a smug one—he was glad to be doing this. Asshole. “Get up, witch,” he said through his teeth. “It’s playtime.”The way he said the words made a chill race down my spine. I watched him unlock the cage, not knowing what to do or where to even look except at him. Once he did, he stood waiting for me to crawl out but I was determined to be difficult today. Whatever they intended to do to me wasn’t bound to be good so why should I make things easy for them?It would be stupid and cowardly to even think of it. His impatience was evident on his face. He reached in and grabbed me by the ankle before pulling me forward. I was surprised by his force. It stunned me momentarily. Once I was out of the cage, he locked it while glaring at me. We were going up today. I was so eager to have a breath of fresh air that I made

Torn Between the Alpha and the Vampire Epilogue
Xander brushed my hair away from my shoulders, leaving my neck bare. His pupils dilated. To be fair, I was more nervous than he was, but that was only because of the last time that we bonded. I was in pain for the longest time, and about half of the bond ended up being consumed by my blood. I didn’t want to go through that again, but if we didn’t try again, I would never know if trying to mark me a second time would work. “You never know,” he said like he read my thoughts. “Second time might be the charm.”“Isn’t it usually the third time?”“Let’s hope it won’t come to that.” He massaged the spot with his thumb, spreading heat in the area. I shuddered a little, and my nipples hardened against the soft material of my nightgown. He lowered his head and kissed the spot he caressed, ripping a soft moan from me. If there was one thing that Xander knew how to do, it was turn me on. While he kissed my neck, his hands began exploring. He placed them over my breasts, which were so taut th
Torn Between the Alpha and the Vampire Chapter 88: The Decision
A few minutes passed by in absolute silence. Konstantin was dead. Cassian was dead. I guessed that the others were dead, too. Felix stared at his brother’s body unwaveringly. I wanted to go to him and offer him some kind of comfort. He’d tried to find a way out for him for centuries. And now that he was out, he was forced to kill him himself. Xander looked at me and said, “Jade, let’s go. Let’s get out of here.”I looked back and forth between him and Felix. I didn’t want to leave him; I didn’t come all the way here just to free him and then walk out of his life like nothing happened. I didn’t want things between us to end so abruptly. “Jade,” he said again, this time more firmly. I glanced over at him, then raised a hand, gesturing for him to wait for a bit. I went down the front steps and then slowly approached Felix, who was too busy looking down at his dead brother. He didn’t look up, even when I was just a few feet away from him.“Felix?” I said. Only then did he meet my g
Torn Between the Alpha and the Vampire Chapter 87: Defeated
“Felix?”He was in disbelief. “What are you doing here? What did Cassian do to you?”I couldn’t see anything, but still tried to stand up. I held out my hands in front of me as I tried to find out where he was. “There’s a light pull switch somewhere around here. Try to find it.”I didn’t stop until I grabbed the cord. Light flooded the room, and I had to shield my eyes from the glare. I heard him say, “How did you end up here? What happened?”“I came to save you,” I explained. He said, “What?”“I knew that you were in danger, and so I came to find you.” I opened my eyes and took a good look at him. My heart broke in two when I saw that he was locked in a narrow cage, completely naked and bound. There were deep cuts in his chest, one of the cuts being suspiciously close to the heart. It was like he was being drained. “You shouldn’t have come here,” he spat. His eyes were bluer than usual, but perhaps that was only because of how pale his skin was compared to before. “Why would you
Torn Between the Alpha and the Vampire Chapter 86: Familiar Faces
The house where Linda and Benjamin lived with Landon was hard to find. We spent almost the whole night looking for it. I was sure that Konstantin probably found it by now, but we had no way of communicating and anyway, he never said that he’d take care of the situation tonight. We’d probably have to spend a day spying in order to get acquainted with the area. We successfully tracked their home thanks to one of the werewolves who were with Xander. He had a particularly sensitive nose, and he was a shifter, which meant that he could become a werewolf at any moment, unlike Xander, who had to wait for the full moon. Shifters were different kinds of werewolves. More powerful. Things between Xander and I weren’t as tense anymore. We were actually talking to each other now; granted, we never mentioned our relationship or any of the risks involved, but we were saying something to each other, which was a significant improvement to whatever was happening between us earlier on. “Your fathe
Torn Between the Alpha and the Vampire Chapter 85: Negotiations
Konstantin’s house was as terrifying as it was the first time I saw it. The shutters made it seem like there was never anyone home, and I wondered if any curious soul ever tried to break in and found themselves standing face-to-face with a monster. A blood-sucking one at that. I took a deep and steadying breath. Now that I was here, I couldn’t turn back. I’d come too far. I crossed the unkempt lawn, and onto stopped when I reached the front door. I raised my fist and knocked. At first, there was no reply. I had a moment of derealization. I was having them more frequently. I felt dizziness and an intense disbelief for a handful of moments, and then there was nothing. I heard his voice from within. It was tinged with curiosity. “Who dares to knock on Konstantin’s door? Do you willingly seek death? If so, you’re in the right place.”I lamely said, “It’s me. Jade.” “Jade?” he asked, sounding confused. “I was here with Felix.”He opened the door right away. I heard him unlock it,
Torn Between the Alpha and the Vampire Chapter 84: Interception
Xander still hadn’t said a word to me, and it was starting to make me feel really uneasy. I wished he’d say something. Then again, maybe I deserved the silence. I was taking him to a dangerous place all because I felt the need to save Felix (even when I’d been told that he didn’t want to be helped). He was risking his life here.We rode the subway to reach Konstantin’s neighborhood. I still recalled where it was, but honestly, I was starting to seriously doubt my plan. There was more than enough time to turn back, but something wouldn’t let me. Gratitude, perhaps. He’d saved me many times when I was in danger, and it only felt right to do the same thing for him. Besides, Cassian had to be stopped. Was I supposed to live my life looking over my shoulder for him? I would prefer it if we got rid of him permanently. And because only a vampire could kill another vampire (successfully), I’d need a vampire’s help. And Sven suggested Konstantin, so that was that. As we sat side by side,
Torn Between the Alpha and the Vampire Chapter 83: Finding Answers
Our first stop was their apartment. Since it was daylight, there wasn't much that we could do, so we had to kill time by paying for a room in a shitty hotel room nearby. It was five buildings away—we wouldn't be able to keep an eye on their building and monitor movements—but it was the best thing we could do. Although we kissed right when we left his new pack, I wasn't sure where we stood. It wasn't like we'd completely reconciled, and right now, my thoughts were on Felix. But I was grateful that he came with me, and his gesture spoke volumes. He sat on the edge of the bed while I stared out the window. "So, what now? What's your plan exactly?""I'll ask them where Felix is, and then I'll go to him.""Just like that?"I cut him a look. "It's the only plan I have.""It's not the best plan, Jade," Xander said with a hint with impatience. "You're running back to the very people who wanted to use you as a weapon without a plan. What if they don't let you walk away? What if that Cassian
Torn Between the Alpha and the Vampire Chapter 82: An Ounce of Forgiveness
I must have fallen asleep because I woke up on the bed.I sat up, alarmed. My heart started racing as fear clawed at me. I hated that I'd fallen asleep in a territory that I wasn't familiar with. Where was Xander?I allowed myself to relax when I realized that I wasn't in immediate danger. The bedroom door was closed, so I had no idea what was going on outside. I had to go check. I climbed out of bed and peered outside. I didn't see anything of notable significance. The corridor was dark and empty. It was also impossible to tell whether it was day or night, which meant that I had no idea how long I'd been out for. I was disoriented. Did I want to risk going downstairs and looking for Xander? What did I even want? I didn't know what I wanted to do. What was my plan here? Felix said I had to stay here because it was safer. I wouldn't doubt him because I now knew that he had the best intentions with me. He wouldn't have said that if he didn't actually believe that I was safe here. B
Torn Between the Alpha and the Vampire Chapter 81: Control
Cassian was enraged. “Brother?” he asked, tilting his head. He touched the side of his head, which was bleeding, and then wiped his blood on his pants. “I told you to stop,” Felix said, using the same voice he’d used earlier. “This isn’t going to continue. I’ve had enough.”“You’ve had enough?” Cassian asked in disbelief. “What about me, who spent centuries rotting inside a cage, starving to death? Do you think there’s such a thing as ‘enough’?”“I won’t let you use Jade,” he stated. “Our plan was different before. This would have all been done with her consent. But now, it’s done. It didn’t work. We should all move on.”Cassian paced back and forth, pointing a finger at Felix and then putting it back down. He was still holding me, and I had to admit that I felt very much safe standing next to him, and I knew that he wouldn’t let his brother put his hands on me again. He’d stopped it, and that was what mattered to me. “You’re choosing this whore over me?” he asked. “Is that what t
