"Try to calm down." Ashton suggested coming up behind me."What?"Whirling around, I fixed my narrowed gaze on him. How could he tell me to calm down given what had happened? I didn’t know if he remembered the shit that happened with those fools running free, but I sure as hell did."Do you know wha
For the next week, I stayed at home, spending time with my siblings. We had decided that by the next week we would go hunt down the mages and Brailyn. Till then, we could spend time with our families and handle matters.The whole ordeal was almost as if this would be the last, and it most certainly
I continued to stare at the test in my hand, hoping that somehow one of the lines would vanish. How was it possible that this was happening? How was it possible that I was going to be a mother soon if the world hadn’t come to an end? I mean, sure, I knew how it happened, but I still couldn’t believ
Despite wanting to continue to fight, wolfsbane that ran through my system eventually took its toll and I was left to go along with whatever it was that Andrew wanted. We continued to move through the quiet neighborhood where everyone was oblivious to the fact that there were enemies in their midst
"You’re crazy." I gasped as another wave of pain rushed through me. "Why would you think that what you want to do is a good idea?"Did she really want to become the supreme ruler of the world? Was she even aware that if she managed to revive her father, there wouldn’t be a world for her to rule?"Do
I tried my best to move while Andrew grabbed my hair, forcing me to look up. One of the hybrids had managed to get its claws around Ashton’s neck and was beginning to squeeze. As it did so, Ashton fought with all his might to break free. "Stop this!" I begged, feeling tears pricking at my eyes. "Pl
I tore my eyes away from the heartwrenching scene in front of me and looked at the remaining hybrid. He growled and clawed at the ground in an attempt to attack, but it seemed that his weight was too much for his arms. Interesting."Ashton," I called, drawing Ashton’s attention to me. "We should kil
There was lack of any relief when we arrived back at the packhouse. Sure, we had managed to escape and return safely, but at the expense of Antoine's life. It felt like a piece of all of us was gone. Stopping in the entryway, I watched as Ashton led Haidan up the stairs towards her room. Leaving me
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
