"Your real father?" As the words left my mother's lips, her face paled. Though she was trying to act dumb, the way her eyes were looking slightly away gave her away. "Don't pretend." I said sternly. "I know everything." "You..." My mother stammered, lifting a hand to her mouth. "How? Where have
With those words, I felt like the world around me came crashing down. How in the world could my mother not know who helped make me? "Did he...?" I whispered, trying to control the rage that was building in me. "Did he... take advantage of you?" "Haidan, my whole life is a blur until the day I foun
"Are you aware of why I'm doing this?" Alpha Daniel asked after my mother was drug away and it was just me and him. "Or are you going to play dumb?" "I guess the cat is out of the bag." I sighed, unable to muster up the will to argue. "So what do you plan to do?" I didn't feel like beating around
"Oh, you must be feeling upset, being reminded of mine and Ashton's love." Brailyn beamed, placing a hand against her stomach. "Why are you here?" I asked, lifting my gaze to Brailyn's. "I came to see a monster in the place that she belongs." Brailyn giggled. "This truly is the best." A monster w
"My sister?" I repeated as confusion continued to clutch at me. "Are you fucking kidding me? Is being pregnant messing with your brain?" Brailyn had to be out of her damn mind. Claiming to be my sister, she was definitely losing it. "Not at all." Brailyn responded, continuing to smile. "How does i
A loud ruckus roused me from my self-loathing. From the sounds of it, something serious was going on outside. Getting up, I walked over to the far wall and placed my ear against the brick. Listening intently, I could hear yelling and banging from the other side. As it began to grow louder, the wall
"Antoine, get back!" Ashton yelled the minute he spotted me. Lunging forward, he let a snarl escape him as he planned to attack. In one swift movement, Antoine stepped in front of me, holding his arms up to stop Ashton. Ashton's eyes were growing wide as he skidded to a halt and looked at his bro
"You did that because of us?" I demanded, surging forward, claws extended. "All the deaths and injuries just for your selfish wish!" I knew it wasn't the brightest of ideas to attack a lycan king, but damnit I was pissed. Instead of choosing a different route to get to my mother and me, he decided
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
