"Why does it have to be Ashton?" I demanded.There was absolutely no way in hell that I wanted to be alone with Ashton for any given amount of time. Too much had already happened between us for things to be normal."He is the future Alpha." My father responded as if it was the simplest of facts. "Of
"Let go," I whispered, although in a way I didn't want him to. "We are in public and you don't want to ruin your image, do you?" "Who cares?" Ashton murmured, continuing to keep his hold on me. I didn't know what Ashton was trying to get at, but I didn't want to be the butt of rumors. Especially i
"Haidan, do you know what you're saying right now?" Antoine asked, grabbing my arms and gently pulling me away. "Of course I know." Of course, I knew what I was saying. I was well aware. "What happened?" Antoine continued. "Why this all of a sudden?" "Didn't you say I could use you?" I asked, b
"You know something about this?" Antoine asked, keeping his gaze fixed on mine. "Would it perhaps have something to do with you jumping me?" "ARE YOU REALLY THE FATHER?" Daniel's voice booming through the door stopped me from replying. It seemed that he and Ashton had stopped right outside of Anto
"Does it matter?" I asked slowly, trying to keep myself composed. "Is what I do really any of your business?" The smile that Ashton tried so hard to fake fell ever so slightly at my words. Immediately, I found myself regretting their harshness, only to immediately hate myself for my weakness when i
"Ashton." I gasped. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Not only had he rejected me when I confessed, but he was also dating another woman. Not to mention he was going to be a father soon. What in the world could possibly be going through Ashton's mind to have him do this? "Let me go!" I hi
My father didn't return home until late in the night. After much insistence, I managed to get my mother to go to sleep, since she looked like she was nearing fainting. The woman may have been strong once upon a time, but ever since 7 years ago when the incident happened, her health hadn't been the b
Looking at my locked door once more, I quickly climbed onto the window ledge. Looking down, I made sure that my father hadn't stepped out to smoke before launching myself into mid air and then falling towards the earth. Landing on my feet easily, I examined the still bright house behind me. Shaking
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
