The air around us seemed to drop many degrees as Antoine took in my words. From the look on his face, it was pretty clear that he didn't expect me to say what I did. "I'll become alpha." Antoine said firmly, a look of determination forming on his face. "When that happens, he won't have a say." "T
Beginning to move forward, King Nigel laughed as a few rebels quickly backed away, clearly terrified of him. "Don't worry, I'm not ready for you....yet." Laughing, he continued to travel closer and closer towards where I stood watching. "Oh look, here is my beloved daughter." Holding up his arms, h

Looking around, I took in all the hypocrites that acted as though they were the happiest beings around. Letting a huff of disgust escape me, I tried to remain calm. It was only when I was beginning to think that I couldn't handle much more that Duke Randal stepped up on stage, calling for silence.
His eyes sent shivers rushing through me as I tried to process what was going on. "Did you just say..." I stammered as my heart began to pound painfully in my chest. "To forget that I found you?" How could he stand there and say that with such a straight face? Wasn't he feeling the same way that I
A soft snore stirred me from my sleep. Feeling confused, I rolled towards the sound, opening my eyes and staring into the face of a man that I barely knew. How had I ended up in this situation? Why did this continue to happen to me? Rejection… A small voice in the back of my mind whispered, sending
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
