I don't know how long I stayed on the ground sobbing, but by the time I finally began to pull myself together, the sun had started to go down and the cicadas were singing their songs. "Are you good now?" Antoine asked, startling me. With all the crying I had done, I honestly forgot that he was eve
"Proposition?" I repeated the word as I felt a strange clench in my heart. "That's right." Antoine confirmed, with a nod. Eyeing him, I tried to figure out what the hell he could possibly be getting at. It wasn't uncommon for him to bring up odd things, which was why I couldn't stop myself from fe
No one was around when we arrived at Antoine's home. Despite hoping that Ashton wouldn't be there given what I had just came to do, I still felt a pang of disappointment to find he wasn't around. Sensing my mood dwindling, Antoine quickly wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me off the groun
Sniffing the air, Ashton smirked ever so slightly as he continued to take in Antoine and my current state. "Should I say congratulations?" He asked, leaning against the doorframe. "Man, you move on quickly, Haidan." Too shocked to speak, I just kept my gaze fixed on Ashton's. I don't know what emo
"Antoine!" I screamed, quickly searching for something to throw on. If I continued to let this fight happen, there was a good possibility that Antoine was going to get seriously hurt. Managing to find Antoine's shirt and boxers, I quickly threw them on before rushing out of the room where Antoine a
"Maybe I should go." I said, dropping the subject. "Yeah, probably." Antoine sighed, not even trying to convince me otherwise. "See you later?" I asked as I entered his room and quickly found my leggings and sweater. "Sure." Antoine didn't bother looking at me as he walked over to his bed and co
Voices rising and falling drifted into my room, rousing me from an unpeaceful sleep. From the sounds of it, my father was in a state of agitation. Whatever was going on, it was probably pack related and it would mean that my morning training would be that much worse. Groaning, I pryed myself out of
Not only had a Lycan attacked, but it had managed to kill someone. I couldn't stop my brain from wondering exactly who it was that was no longer amongst the living. "For now, I think our best plan of action is strengthening security at the borders." Daniel said, pulling me away from my morbid thoug
Ouch…"Anyway," Chloe continued, looking into the distance once again. "I’ve been observing you all morning and you’ve been acting strangely. If you don’t get it together, they’re going to grow suspicious. ""I..." I began, but stopped as Chloe got up and wiped dirt from her pants."That was all I w
[Asher’s POV]A gasp escaped me as my eyes flew open. What was… lifting a hand, I touched my forehead to find it covered in sweat. Sitting up, I watched as a black comforter fell down my body, revealing perfectly smooth skin."My scars..." I murmured as my memories of everything that happened up to
[Asher’s POV]"Asher!"Antoine’s voice drifted through the roar of the power I was slowly drawing in as Selene struggled to break free. From the sound of his tone, I knew that he already had an idea of what I was about to do and wanted to stop me."Stay back!" I called, turning to meet his terrified
[Asher’s POV]Jumping up, I kept Leah close to me as I drew on my power once again. The duo would pay dearly for what they had done. And then, once I was done with them, I would go and join Leah."Asher!" Antoine called as footsteps began to make their way towards me. "You need to calm down.""Calm
[Leah’s POV]"Stop it!" I shrieked, shoving Selene aside. "You’re hurting him!"Behind me, I could hear the yells of my comrades, but I wasn’t about to stop now. Sucking in a breath, I lifted my fingers and began to wipe the blood from Asher’s injuries."Why did you let her do this?" I murmured, fee
[Leah’s POV]I kept my gaze fixed on Asher as I continued to touch Ian. Despite the indifference that remained in his features, I could see the jealousy burning in his eyes. Good. This meant that even when the darkness had taken over, he still felt the bond between us. That meant there was a chance
[Leah’s POV]"Mallard has been around for a very long time." Craig began, growing serious. "I know that sounds impossible, but some claim he may even be immortal."Immortal…Shivering, I tried to picture being unable to die. After losing those closest to me, I found it hard to imagine carrying on. I
[Leah’s POV]"You’re Asher." I insisted. There was no way that I could mistake the sensations I was feeling from where we touched."Who?" The man asked in confusion."Leah," Ian murmured, giving my body a slight tug. "That isn’t Asher."Frowning, I continued to take in the man. The eyes that met min
[Leah’s POV]I held my breath as Craig led us into a dark hallway with a long stairwell leading down beneath the earth. Once we reached the bottom, the sound of laughter drifted towards us, filling the deafening silence that was becoming unbearable."In here." Craig announced, beginning to knock an
