“Damn… you are so beautiful. Are you even Human?” Eric asked, as he trailed his fingers and lips down the side of my cheek. I will admit I was guilty of lying to my boyfriend… I am definitely not Human… I am a Werewolf, but I am not forced to shift, therefore I can keep it a secret. He can’t hear my Wolf, Wynter, speaking to me in my mind either. I never meant to lie to him… but not all Humans know about us. That, and the topic just never came up. Not that I think he would have looked at me differently had I told him. But why go through all of the drama? I knew this relationship wouldn’t last. They never do, not with… him, the Demon, watching my every move. In fact, I was surprised he hadn’t already showed up. “Rayne, you know you shouldn’t be doing this… you know what happens when he gets mad.” Wynter whimpered in my mind. I ignored her when Eric’s lips met mine. Any thought of the Demon who watches me in the night was lost, along with my willpower. I moaned softly against

"Rayne, knock it off. I need to examine your wounds." He snapped, pulling his wrist from my grip and grabbing onto my chin. I allowed him to look, but I knew they wouldn't be there anymore. I had no idea how to explain that to him. "Just lie, tell him that it wasn't your blood it was from Sarah, it was just on her nails." Wynter said, which was a great idea. I opened my mouth to spit out the lie, but he spoke over me. "What pack are you from?" He asked. Panic flooded through my chest as I backpedaled, trying to avoid this conversation. "Rayne, don't fucking play with me, I know you are a Wolf. What fucking pack?" He growled. Fuck... I had to tell him now, I couldn’t keep denying it, not when there were so many damn indicators. Finally, I sighed and looked down. "The Obsidian pack." I mumbled, hoping he didn't hear me and would just forget about it. I couldn't be so lucky. His breathing hitched in his throat. "Alpha Drake?" He snapped. I nodded my head. He inhaled slowly. "J

On the way back my mind was racing. I couldn’t keep it quiet even if I had tried. On top of my insistent guilt over Eric’s death, I was also thinking about my Demon. We passed an old abandoned wishing well in the forest, and I couldn't help but remember the first experience I ever had with him. I was 9 years old. I was living with my mother in a small, cozy cottage just on the edge of the Obsidian pack. It was close to where I currently live now. We weren't part of a pack back then, it was just us. Me and her. Thinking back, it was a little strange that we didn’t live in a pack, being Wolves and all. I never knew my father and my mother never bothered to bring him up. I figured if she never did I wouldn't either. He was a forgotten staple in our household, but I preferred it that way. My mother always used to say that we were strong and didn’t need anyone to protect us. I always believed her. Honestly, what I wouldn’t give to be able to hear her words of wisdom just one mo

"Oh my fucking God, it's him!" Wynter shrieked. She was going absolutely insane in my mind. I was overwhelmed with her emotions, causing my heart to flutter in my chest. My mind instantly settled on the events of yesterday and all the things he said to me… I sat up and tried to gather my bearings. I took a breath in trying to comprehend the events that were unfolding. I should have known that he would be watching. He was always watching. My head was pounding, and I could feel warm blood trickling down my brow. The wound would heal, so I wasn’t worried about it as it dripped down onto the ground before me. It hadn’t even been 24 hours yet and the words he spoke never rang so true. Panic began to seep into my bones when I realized that if he doesn’t think I’m safe here he could just break the contract and take me. My thoughts were jumbled and confused. "Wait, did Alpha Drake just kiss me, and then try to kill me? What the fuck?“ I said to Wynter in a daze. "Who cares, M

Despite the fact that I knew Alpha Drake couldn't hurt me anymore, my legs were still shaking like a leaf when I got to his office door. I squared my shoulders and held my head high, waiting to be called inside. Not that it would change my outcome at all. I was only outside of his door only a few agonizing seconds before I heard him. "You may enter, Rayne." His tone was rough, and he didn’t sound happy in the least bit. I cringed, and Wynter whined when she heard the straight acid seeping through his words. Alpha Drake exudes power. You could feel it rolling off him in waves at all times. Even when my Demon had saved me earlier, Alpha Drake had still exuded immense power. He was looking him dead in the eyes, not knowing if that would be the last sight he ever saw. Still, even faced with possible death, he never backed down. It was terrifying, really. The man was fearless, and I knew from the stories that he was also ruthless. Those two combinations are volatile. At that moment
