"Leah, I’m going to break this glass and I need you to get out of here with the twins." I said, yanking off my shirt and wrapping it around my elbow. "Don’t argue with me." I continued as Leah opened her mouth to speak. "What about you, Thia?" Theo asked, fixing his scared eyes on me. "You’re going
"Leah…" I said, slowly trying to process what she said. "Who took them?" There were quite a few possibilities for who would have the twins. Was it the dark mages? The rogue lycans? Or could it be the mastermind behind them all? "The Lycans." Leah responded, beginning to try to sit up. "Fuck, that
Ashton and I stood by the edge of a babbling brook, dipping our hands in the mud along its edge. Slowly, we spread it across our skin, being sure to use enough to cover the skin of our arms and faces. "Do you think this will work?" I asked as doubt began to claw at me. "We don’t know how many are
I waited with Ashton as smoke billowed into the cave in front of us. From within, we could hear growls and hissed conversation. "Here they come." Ashton whispered. "Best to shift before they arrive." "Right." Turning away from Ashton, I began to pull off my dirty clothes and place them on the gro
"What the hell happened here?" Ashton asked, bending down to pick up the twins who were still fast asleep. After the battle was over and it was safe, Ashton and I shifted back to our human forms. Though I had my clothes, Ashton didn't, and I was having a really hard time not looking at him in all h
I continued to stare out into the dark street, waiting. Within a few minutes, a figure began to make its way towards me. "Who is that?" Ashton asked, coming up beside me. "It doesn’t smell like anyone we know." Didn’t smell like someone we knew? Did that mean that it was someone trying to sneak up
Haidan and Antoine showed up shortly after Andrew left with Serenity in tow. I immediately felt bad for disturbing them when they had a newborn to care for. "Are you okay?" Haidan asked, quickly rushing forward and grabbing my arms. "How about your sibling’s?" "Everyone is fine." I assured her wit
"What did you just say?" Haidan asked, her eyes growing wide. "Did you say the twins fused?" Everyone around the room eyed me as if I had grown a second head. Well, everyone except Ashton, who had witnessed it for himself. Leah, who sat on the floor with her knees pulled to her chest, looked like s
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
