I stepped out from behind the dumpsters and approached the scene.“Hey, you fucking assholes, stop that!” I called out, my voice resonant and carrying through the entire alley. I heard some mice scurry away.There were four of them, all wearing masks on their faces. They were all gathered in a circl
DOMINICI rolled my eyes as I listened to yet another one of Aiden’s bad jokes. I wondered why he wasn’t a dad already since he seemed to be very adept and consistent at pulling off terrible dad jokes. The music of the bar had changed to something electronic and a DJ hollered at the crowd of carefre
The hallway was littered with the usual drunken bunch and I elbowed some of them out of my way before entering the ladies’ bathroom.There were three women in there fiddling with their makeup and they all screamed as I stormed inside, protesting the fact that I had no right to be on the ladies’ room
KATIEThe darkness felt so intoxicating, so good I never wanted to come out of it. I had been in that unconscious state for so long, and I relished that feeling of nothing that came with it. I guess one could also call it a peace of some sorts. I don’t remember the last time that I felt that way. Ma
This one seemed like a second degree burn. Someone wanted me trapped, and they wanted me completely and effectively trapped. I guessed I could try wrapping my body in my clothes before touching the silver bars but I couldn’t risk it.Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, I heard the sou
KATIEI waited for Rose to tell me what her motive was in doing all of this. I lay sprawled on the cold floor inside the cage, which was the only part of it that wasn’t made of silver. I guessed I should be grateful. My captor wasn’t completely psychopathic at least.My hand still throbbed with pain
“Consider today as a vacation. Tomorrow, you start work as a real slave. Which you rightfully are. As all werewolves should be.” She got up from the chair, done with me, and was about to leave the room.“I know people,” I said, making her stop in her tracks. She turned to me and said, “What did you
XANDER“You like that?”“Oh yes,” I said, groaning with pleasure. I was reclined on my bed, my head thrown back, eyes closed as I enjoyed the slick hand job I was currently being given. “Yes, just like that.”“Anything for you, my master,” said Malina, her mouth creased into a sultry smile. Between
"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
