And then he'd looked at me, his gaze had moved to the exposed skin of my neck lazily, like he had all the time in the world, like he'd put his mouth-I blinked when he stepped out of the room where the bath was, fully dressed for the dinner we were about to have with the Fae Queen. Clothes had been brought for us, because apparently we couldn't go to see the Queen without looking decent. He was wearing a long sleeved navy tunic and matching color of pants, his feet in a pair of black sandals. I'd changed from the woolen dress I'd been given earlier into a sleeveless wine floor length silk dress, my chocolate curls in a loose braid, my shoulders exposed.

I turned sideways to see Aiden giving me a look that wasn't happy about the fact that my eyes had left the road for the hundredth time since he'd begrudgingly agreed to let me drive the rest of the journey to the guesthouse where Caleb and Tamara were waiting for us.Aiden had contacted Tamara with a phone that I didn't even know was in the console of the car that we were fine and on our way to meet them at the house she was in. Caleb had begrudgingly moved out of the inn we shared into Tamara's property, because he'd wanted to keep an eye for her. Total bullshit, if I knew my friend. Caleb hated solitariness. The reason why our friendship had worked out desp

"I want us to promise each other something, broccoli.""Hmmmm?""No secrets. We tell each other everything.""Really, Caleb? You didn't tell me when you were dating Sheila.""And you burnt my favorite pair of jeans for it. We're even. Now, promise me. There'll be no secrets between us, deal?""Deal."Caleb (16) to Ally (15)______________________________________________Ally’s POVSecrets. My family had fallen apart because of my secret. My mother had spent her life trying to hide my secret. Even on her deathbed, the last words she'd spoken to me were in Italian. "You must never let anyone find out, my little red." I didn't have red hair, my favorite color was not red, but I'd always loved it when mama called me that. Did she know more than she let on? Had she taken more secrets to her grave?Did my sister know more than she let on too? If she'd been alive to find out what my kind was doing, would she have still given her life for me?Was my father suffering right now because of

Split in two by a sacred stone and scattered that no one might find it.Alas, For in the place called after that which blooms and the North of Norths so true, that which holds the cure in the centre may be found.

"What happens if we don't find anything? What's going to happen to her, Tamara?""I don't have that answer, Caleb.""Have you ever wanted someone bad enough that you accept to be their friend just so you could be by their side?""You know who should be listening to this. And you have the chance to tell her before it's too late." Conversation between Tamara and Caleb ______________________________________________ALLY’s POV"Stay strong, little girl. I would sleep with one eye open if I were you."Staring at my reflection in the bathroom mirror, I watched as my yellow eyes flicked on and off, a sharp reminder that despite everything that had happened today, the clock was ticking. In the direction of my death. Tick tock.Aiden's family had been casualties of the Great Purge. His six year old sister. Dead. In a battle between wolves and vampires.
