"Antoine, you're delirious." I murmured as he continued to watch me. "You don't know what you're saying." "Yes I do." Antoine insisted as a frown formed on his face. "I am more than clear on what I am saying right now." "Really?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. "Then do you realize that I am your fri
"What are you doing?" Antoine asked, grabbing my arms and gently pushing me back. "What?" I asked as rational thought began to return. "I was just too happy..." "Too happy?" Antoine repeated, raising his eyebrows. "So happy that you wanted to jump my bone?" "WHAT?" I sputtered, stumbling backward
"What's wrong?" Antoine asked the minute I stepped into the room and slammed the door. "You look like you've seen a ghost." "Why didn't you mention it?" I asked, quietly meeting Antoine's gaze. As Ashton's brother, Antoine most certainly knew about this ceremony. Yet, he hadn't said a word to me a
Dance music bumped around the club as the smell of stale beer and arousal filled the room. After the bonding ceremony, everyone came to Club Dolce for an after party. Even the pregnant Brailyn had come and joined in the festivities, even though it was probably not good for the child in her stomach.
Lunging forward, Antoine grabbed Brendan by the throat, slamming him up against the wall. Snarls of rage escaped his throat as he easily lifted the terrified Brendan off the ground. "Please, this is a misunderstanding." Brendan begged, grabbing Antoine's wrist to try to free himself. "Tell him, Hai
"Cheers." I murmured, clanking my can of beer against Antoine's. "To a shit night." We sat on Antoine's bed, a 24 pack of beer sitting between us. After everything that had happened, this seemed like the best way to end things. "To a shit night." Antoine agreed, bringing his drink to his lips and
"I thought you were fine." Antoine smirked. Feeling irked by Antoine's comment, I looked around for something to throw at him, but came up empty handed. "Try attacking and see what happens." Antoine warned as a mischevious glint flashed across his eyes. "What are you going to do about it?" I sho
"Ugh." A long breath of air escaped Cindy as my fist slammed into her stomach. It had been a week since Ashton and Brailyn's bonding ceremony, a long week of slowly beginning to heal from my heartbreak and despair of everything that happened. I stayed at home for the first few days, nursing my hear
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
