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
“Good day, Alpha,” Valeria said through the mindlink. “I have some news. There’s been some recent development.”Great, I thought dryly. I had barely finished nutting and something else had come up.“Good day, Valeria,” I said through the mindlink. “This had better be good.”“Sorry if I had interrupt
XANDERThe feeling that I had while traveling into the vampire world was one of dread, sadness, fear. I had grown up in this place—at least to a certain extent—before I had been forced to leave and find my own way in the world. I had hoped never to return, constantly locking all memories of the vamp
I had barely been in the wing for two minutes before I heard a loud, piercing scream. It sort of startled me, because I hadn’t really been expecting it. It was a man’s scream, and he sounded like he was in serious pain. I turned in the direction of the sound, into a small narrow hallway. The smell
DOMINICEven as I tried to keep myself together, I had already begun to feel myself relapse into old patterns. I had taken up drinking once more and I had started to freeze out everyone around me, while also neglecting my duties.I hated being this way.I hated it, but I couldn’t help it. All the se
DAMIEN’S POVI had been feeling unwell for the past three days now. It was very unusual because I never fell ill. Ever. The slight fever had descended on me after I had just closed from work. Even though I didn’t think it could be true, I had attributed it to the prolonged stress I had been experien

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
