"But how?" Haidan asked, pulling Serenity closer to her as if the creature would attempt to snag the new-born. "Aren’t they supposed to reside in the inbetween?" The inbetween was a place where most mages and dark beings resided. It was placed somewhere between the human world and the world of the
Asher’s eyes grew wide as he realized that I recognized him. "Get off me." He growled attempting to loosen my hold on his arms. Given the fact I was currently in my lycan form and he was not fully up to par he was unable to get me to budge. "Where have you been?" I demanded getting off of him an
"How?" Haidan asked, pulling away so that she could get a good look at Asher’s face. "How are you alive?" "It’s a long story." Asher admitted rubbing the back of his neck. "Maybe I should tell you another time." His eyes darted from Haidan to Antoine, who was standing inches away from Haidan with
Bright sun blared against my closed eyelids, forcing me to wake up. Groaning, I threw my arm over my eyes in the hope of blocking out the nuisance, but with no luck. "Thia…" Chloe’s sweet voice called from beyond the doorway. "Are you awake?" "Yeah." I called, sighing. I had just managed to fall
Theo and Chloe were already out on the porch waiting for me when I arrived home. Chloe had decked herself out in a white sailor dress with a parasol that was meant to block the sun from her caramel skin. Theo was the opposite of her, decked out in all black, with his hood pulled up around his head
"THIA!" Leah shrieked, nearly causing me to go deaf. "Calm down." I growled, pulling the keys to the car out of my pocket and slamming them into the ignition. Putting the car in gear I squealed out of the clearing and began to make my way down the dirt road. I could hear thumps as the centaurs ar
I could hear the centaurs' hooves slamming into the ground as they closed the distance between themselves and me. I had to give these guys one thing: they were fast. Very fast. At this point, I could only hope that I made it to the ambush before I was caught. The trees blurred past as I ran for all
Night fell rather quickly after the crazy ordeal that I had experienced during the day. How had a simple picnic turned into such a disaster? The twins were both pretty shaken when we arrived home, and Leah was also not quite her normal self. I felt bad that they had to experience that, but in a way
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
