KATIEThe babies were asleep when I walked into the main house. The matron, Nora, looked tired as hell.“Those kids are demons,” she said, gruffly, but not in an unkind way.I smiled warmly at her. “Thank you so much for this favour, Nora. I won’t ever forget it.” There was something very motherly a
“As serious as I can ever be. I was as shocked as you are right now.”We burst into another round of laughter. When we had recovered from the fit of laughter, we got back to staring at the ceiling in silence. We were like that for so long that I thought that Rachel had already slept off.The she sai
KATIEFor the second time in three days, I found myself walking the dirty hallways of the holding quarters of the police station. The holding quarters were messy in and of itself, but the place where Dominic was being held— the high security area—was even more unkempt. The prisoners looked less well
Katie, you’re a genius, Dominic replied into my mind. I smiled appreciatively at him and touched his scruffy chin.I promise we’ll get out of this, I said. We’ll talk later, the main thing I came here to achieve is done.Alright, please be safe. And don’t be like me. Don’t do anything rash.“I guess
KATIEI was in the car with Demon and Damien. The only sounds to be heard was the rumbling of the car as Demon drove the car. I was very stiff, very tense. I knew how easy all this could fall apart. A tiny crack of wood, a slight shift, and cough could bring down everything that we had hurriedly pla
As I sat, I strained into the night air to see if I could hear hints of the several people currently hidden in the bushes watching me. I couldn’t hear a thing. It was a miraculous thing. So many people hidden in a place yet everywhere felt quiet and calm. If I hadn’t known prior to my arrival that t
KATIE'S POVMy heart was racing. "What are you talking about?" Confusion rushed through my veins as my brain struggled to move at high speed. How did he know? But we'd had him ambushed him very well. There was no possible way that Xander could have ever known about this. Did Xander have a spy among
"Aww, Katie, you're going to make me cry," said Rachel. "That is so touching.""It is," Anna agreed. "And we both know that you would do the same for us. There is no doubt about that. So, you don't needs to worry about us. We are here by your side because we are family. And nothing else can change t
"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-

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
