DOMINICAs Demon drove, I felt mildly irritated. We had been chasing these Brazilian investors for months, and now they decide to meet at the most inopportune time. I had half a mind to tell Demon to turn back, fuck the investors. But I knew how important this deal was for my company so I tried my b
KATIEI wish that I could stop crying but I couldn't. Cars passed me by and passersby stared at me but I didn't care one bit. Every part of me was wracked with emotional pain. Pain at my betrayal, pain blended with anger and something close to hate. How dare Dominic do this to me? How dare he string
DOMINICI couldn't believe this. I felt like I was in a cheesy soap opera. Everyone was staring at me and Jessi on the stage, smiling in the hope that I would accept her proposal. They all wanted content, and entertainment, in their lives. A few people even had their phones out, recording. Well, the
DOMINICThe first thing I did after my encounter with Rachel was to call Katie. My fingers were feverish as I brought up her number on my phone and dialed it. The caller ID showed Katie’s phone was starting to ring. “Please pick up. Pick up, pick up,” I muttered, waiting.The call went to voicemail
KATIEA week had passed since the whole party debacle and I still felt dazed, like everything that had happened wasn't quite real. I knew it was happening in reality but it all felt like a dream to me, still. I felt like I had been having the most amazing dream for a little while and, in one singula
DOMINICMy eyes widened in shock as Katie's words burned themselves into my mind. Was I hallucinating or did I just hear Katie say that she wanted a divorce? I mean, I knew she would be severely hurt by the events of this past week and all that she had discovered but I didn't think she would go so f
I arrived at Star Hotel an hour later. It was indeed a rundown hotel like Demon said. The building looked ancient and almost falling apart, the entire environment was very unkempt, and some hobos were smoking something really vile in a corner of the street. It was really smart of Katie to hide in a
KATIEI know that I was incredibly irate at Dominic and also really hurt but as I looked at him standing in the doorway of my hotel room, plea written all over my face, I had to confess I felt my resolve shake. He still looked as handsome as ever, albeit beaten down. He'd lost some weight and he ha
"You need to stop this madness, son.""Stay out of this," he spat at her. Then he brought down the metal rod.But the rod didn't pierce my skin.Malia had come between the two of us at the last minute and the rod was pierced through her side. She crumpled to her knees as she groaned in pain. Blood r
KATIE'S POV I knew that it would all turn chaotic real fast, but I still wasn't prepared for the level of chaos and violence that had broken out in such a short amount of time. Once Xander had unleashed his vampire warriors on the people Dominic, who had been anticipating such a move, rallied his o
KATIEThe reunion between me and Dominic, Dustin and Damien was nothing short of emotional. I had not seen them in months by now, and it was all so exciting seeing them and touching them . Especially as there were times where I had feared that I would never see them again. They had missed me as much
I collapsed to the ground, clutching my throat and gulping and coughing till it hurt. "That is the only warning I'm going to give you," Xander said from somewhere above me. "I mean the nerve of you, to think you could try to change me. If you even think of trying to manipulate me again, this will
KATIE'S POVThe words I had screamed out rang in the air, almost seeming to echo. Xander stopped in his tracks immediately, stunned by what I had said. "W-what…what did you just say?" he asked, his hand tightening on my wrist even as he was no longer forcefully groping and undressing me."I did. I-
Once I had the letter safely in my clothes, I patted her in consolation. "Don't worry ma'am. I'll find a way."And then I left.Power affects everyone, even the kindest and humblest of men. Makes them do things they usually wouldn't, hurt people, destroy things. Power in the hands of Xander Thane wa
KATIE'S POVIt took me no time at all to make quick work of the lock to Lady Malia's cell and soon I was in the room.The woman who was curled up on her bed against the wall gave a small start. "What the f—""Shh!!" I said to her. "You'll alert everyone.""Who are you?" she said in a painfully loud
The way he said human, with so much disgust and loathing in his tone, made me blush."There's nothing you can do about him. Don't worry about it. This is his time to shine, and soon someone else is going to take his place. It always happens."The first voice became hushed. "Now, don't ask me how I k
KATIE'S POVThe vampire world was becoming more and more familiar to me as the weeks crawled by. That was not a statement that I ever in my dreams imagined that I would even be making. Before all of this, the vampire world had seemed to me like nothing but a mere, distant thought. Now, I was entrenc
