KATIEAs Anna talked animatedly about how the reason she met Dustin was all because of Dominic, old emotions began to swirl in me. Emotions I’d spent the last three years trying to bury. The memory of the confrontation on that fateful day of the divorce threatened to rise to the surface of my mind
DAMIENI let out a startled gasp of happiness. “Nate, are you sure of what you’re saying?”“Yes, boss. I’m positive. I have the witch’s location right now.”I shut my eyes tightly and gave a silent prayer of gratitude to the moon goddess. In my hour of need, she had come to my rescue. A moment ago,

KATIEAfter I got back from Anna's, I ordered some really strong wine because, if I was being honest, besides sleeping pills, which I was certain the resort didn't serve, it was probably the only thing that could put me to sleep. Without it I would just end up tossing and turning all night, thinkin
"...but first of all, I have to tell you why your wolf was sealed in the first place," Damien was saying.My curiosity was piqued. I hadn't yet thought to ask him about that, but now he said it, I wondered why someone would do this to me, causing me this much suffering for a lot of my life."What is

KATIEAt this point, I could no longer tell my body from the floor. I felt like I had been chained in a malleable cocoon of pain that got more painful as the minutes went by. How could I have ever dared to think that I had felt such a thing as pain before now? Those other experiences were only tickl
“Katie,” Damien said in a soothing tone, while my wolf ran about destroying what was left of the shrine. “You’re going to be okay. You have to calm down. Just stop freaking out, and sit with me.”My wolf turned to face him and let out a loud howl of aggression. It leaped towards him once again, but
"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 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
