KATIEI had received information from Damien the day before that we were going to have a meeting with three other Groups because my corporation was closely tied to Damien’s Group. The information had made me really nervous and stressed because I had to begin the long and excruciating process of arra
I didn’t want to jump to any conclusions, but I couldn’t help but wonder if Damien had found a newfound crush. The thought made me smile a bit.That smile faded when Damien and Dominic faces each other. The tension in the air moved up to a new level as the two men stared at each other with Stony exp
KATIEWe were all a bit ruffled by Xander’s late arrival and the arrogant way which he carried himself. But I hadn’t expected him to look the way he did as he and his beta—Valeria Nox was her name, I was told—sat at the table in preparation for the meeting.Soon after that, Dominic kicked off the me
DOMINICI, like everyone else in the room, was glad that the meeting was over. I haven’t been in such a disastrous meeting in years. What were we even thinking, inviting the Thane Group to collaborate with us on this project? I had been wondering how Xavier would be like in person, but I realized th
“Oh, I know a few,” Demon replied, that mischievous smirk still on his face and had now creeped into his tone. “Don Hilton’s is a good place to go. Very nice place if you want to impress a girl.”“Thank you, Demon,” I said, and in a carefree tone I added, “Now, keep your eyes on the road before you
KATIEImages didn’t do Don Hilton’s justice. The restaurant was a lot more breathtaking in person and I couldn’t stop staring with my mouth wide open. I was so stunned by the beauty and sheer luxury of the restaurant that I forgot that I was supposed to, you know, actually walk inside. The jarring o
Dominic seemed to know the effect that his outfit had on me because he wore a self-deprecating smile. He rolled a cart in front of him which was topped with several covered dishes. I did a double take. Had Dominic actually prepared the meals himself? I hadn’t been expecting that at all. It was one
DOMINICWould you like to come home with me, Dominic?The moment I heard those words, I felt an instant burst of elation. Adrenaline pumped through my veins and I felt like I could flip over a car with the excitement and the rush that roared through me. I managed to keep myself standing in one place
"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
