~Brielle  I’m out of bed in less than a second.  Charlie buckled to her knees crying out, the sound rousing a few of the girls sleeping around me. Lila included. I stumble over to her, stepping over sleeping heads and mussed beds. When I grab for her, my hands draw back covered in blood. Thick, dark blood still seeping from claw like cuts along her arms. It makes my stomach turn for a moment.  “Are you okay?” I question, pulling her hair from her face gently. Her hair is coated with blood, and through it, I can see what looks like spots where hair has been ripped from her scalp. I swallow uncomfortably. What happened to her? She doesn’t say anything, blood dripping pas

~Brielle I’ve never been so afraid of Ren until this moment. When we were stuck down at the bottom of his basement, listening in to a conversation we shouldn’t have, I wasn’t as afraid as I am. Whatever had possessed Ren that night hadn’t noticed us. Now here I am, locked in a small room with Ren, completely at his mercy. And with the look on his face, I don’t think he’s very happy. Slowly, I step away from the door, obeying his commands. I’m not about to get on the bad side of my Alpha. My fate might be similar to Charlie’s, or I’ll be kicked off this island with no quite enough money to escape this Pack. Ren doesn’t move, sitting behind his desk, watching me as I take my seat back where I was. His gaze is hot and unrelenting. I’m truly dead. “I’m not done talking about this,” Ren says slowly, as if he’s assuming I’m too foolish to understand. Or maybe he is worried I’m going to make a run for it. I’m considering it. “It is important for me to know everything that you do. I’m n

~Brielle My entire body becomes aware of everything around me.Slowly I turn around, but I only see an empty room, the sound of Charlie’s machine wheezing and purring throughout the room. Yet chills creeping down my back confirm the odd feeling that someone is watching me. Where from, I’m not sure, but it makes me refuse to turn back around, waiting for someone to come out. “It’s okay, Brielle,” Charlie says gently, although her voice is shaking. I glance at her. She isn’t calm but she isn’t freaking out like I am. “He’s not here. I mean he’s everywhere, but only at night. You need to go now.”Turning back around, I grab her hands. It’s a part of her so fully bandaged I doubt she can even feel my touch. “No, I’m not leaving you here.”“Brielle...He’s done with me.”It seemed as though all the hope drained out of her eyes as she said that. For a moment I was confused, until I realised she blames herself for this. Maybe she feels guilty. Does she sympathise for whoever this is that’s

~Brielle Ren and I didn’t speak anymore until we reached our destination. We reached the top of the hill, as it leveled off onto a beautiful landscaped area surrounded by a fence. Where we have ended up definitely looks like an event area, with a view at the far end, a significant manor in the middle and a formal lawn stretching out in front. We surely made the climb up the mountain for this. Ren’s driver takes us down a smooth driveway before we park in front of the manor. Peeking out the window, I investigate the decorations. Blooming white flowers and silk like banners hanging from many surfaces. “Is this a wedding?” I question, turning back around to Ren. “You didn’t take me to wedding, did you?”Ren chuckles. Weddings aren’t all that common. Only the wealthy partake in them to show off their bond with their mate in a lavish ceremony. I’ve never been to one. My parents never married either, and I never assumed I would have one, or even attend one. “Calm down darling, it’s no

~Brielle Ren looks reluctant. Who knows what Chase will do to me if he takes over Ren. There is no one in this place that would be able to help me if he decided to attack me. After what he did to Charlie, it is not out of the realm of possibility that he would do that to me. However, I have the feeling he wouldn’t do anything. I’m not sure why, I just do. “I’m not so sure that is a good idea,” Ren says skeptically, raising his eyebrows at me. He shifts uncomfortably on the couch, but I don’t pay attention to his defiance. I know why he is anxious about it, but I have to speak to Chase. I breathe in slowly. “Let me talk to him, please. Maybe I can find out why he is coming out more now that I’m here. Who better to speak to him when you can’t?”Ren loosens a sigh. “He can hurt you. I don’t know his motive and neither do you,” Ren reminds. He might be right, but I’m feeling foolish enough to take the risk. I don’t want the girls back on the island to continue living in fear of Chase

~Brielle Ren came back right in front of me. My shoulders slump as I realise my one chance to get to Chase is gone. He managed to trick me, and with his last words, have left me dumbfounded. He has a motive for suddenly appearing so often, and now I’m going to lose sleep over it. That’s what he wanted, of course. He’s the cunning version of Ren. Ren blinks a few times, the colour seeping out of his blue eye into the green. He’s back, and there’s no hope Chase is going to come out to play again. Not when he knows what I want with him. Immediately Ren looks over me for any injuries. Naturally he sees nothing but my bothered expression. That did not go how I planned. “Is everything okay?” Ren asks, looking over me for any hints Chase attacked me. He won’t find anything, considering Chase wasn’t aggressive in the slightest, like I assumed he would. He was calm and calculated, knowing how to get into my head without revealing anything about himself.“I’m fine. He didn’t reveal anythi

~Brielle I’m not sure what made me head to bed so late. I had to be honest and tell myself how much I enjoyed last night talking to Nick and the rest of the landscapers. It felt good to not worry about all that is going on with Ren and Chase. I could relax and have normal discussion with normal people. Turns out that despite being a hopeless flirt, Nick is a genuine person who has many interesting stories. He’s excited about working here too on the Alpha’s island. After everyone dispersed by midnight, we all headed to bed. It didn’t take long for the entire group of girls to fall asleep, dreaming about charming contractors. They didn’t even stay up to gossip like I thought they would. I waited for everyone to sleep, which didn’t take too long, before everyone was passed out. And it didn’t take me too long to join them. That was before I was abruptly woken. My shoulders were grabbed first so tightly it ruptured my sleep, forcing me awake. Before I could gasp or help, something co

~Brielle Exhaustion swept me into sleep around midday.The sound of the door opening and shutting startled me awake again. Disorientated, I catch the eyes of Chase as he wanders through the door. Any hope Ren has taken control of his body again is dashed once I realise the vibrance of that Blue eye. It’s like some kind of magical cue that Chase’s personality has been triggered. Night have definitely arrived, leaving my body disoriented and confused. Shadows play on the bed covers in front of me as evening shifts into dusk. It’s a strange feeling to wake when night is just beginning. Chase even looks different. In the time he has been gone, he has acquired a leather jacket that dries all the moisture from my mouth. What has he been doing?He doesn’t say anything as he approaches the side of the bed, reaching for the binds that have tied me here all day. They have surely left marks, the burn never never ceasing all day. I doubt Chase would care very much if I complained anyway. He’s

~Brielle My heartrate never slowed. Rushing outside, I slide into Chase’s car, looking over my shoulder at every opportunity. As I shove the key into the ignition, I pray Chase won’t wake up and come out here to drag me back inside to punish me. Who knows what he would do if he woke up to see that I was gone. Turning the key, the car hisses and roars, however, fails to turn on. I try again, harder this time, but nothing seems to be working. “Shit,” I curse under my breath, looking back toward the cabin. No movement comes from inside, although that doesn’t stop me from assuming Chase might have woken at the sound of the car attempting to start. Suddenly, the car sputters a few times before starting up, the engine purring. Relief consumes me, but I don’t dwell on it too long. Putting the car into reverse, I back down the driveway quickly before I reach the road. Then, I put my foot down, wanting to put as much distance between that house and Chase and me. I can’t let him catch m

~Brielle The Gaze Reader women didn’t let me stick around. Quickly, she ushered me out of her tent, pulling the flap back behind me. When I turn around, the market had moved on, people having pulled down their stalls to return back to their homes. How much time has passed? The sky above me has gotten darker too, ominous clouds rolling over, casting shadows over the littered grounds. It might rain any moment now. Just as I was about to find shelter elsewhere, I notice someone looking at me, standing on the porch of a nearby house. It’s a girl, not looking too old, but definitely a few years older than me. When she notices me looking back at her, she turns around, but doesn’t walk inside her house. Then, she looks over her shoulder at me again. I decide I need to see why she is so interested in staring at me. As I approach, the girl doesn’t move, but she looks away, trying to pretend she wasn’t scrutinizing me. Maybe it’s because I’m not from here, and it’s obvious. Regardless, I’
