All Chapters of Creatures of THE Night: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Kaius' words rang through my head the entire ride back to my motel room. Questions tingled on the end of my tongue, my impulse control dying to force my mouth open and fire off at Zaine as soon as we'd gotten into the car.But I held off. He seemed so… distant, now that we were alone together once again. The way he behaved with his family was much different than how he was alone with me and I couldn't help but wonder which version of him was the real one. It was stupid of me to assume I knew anything about him other than what I'd retained from his file and what I'd learned of him so far being in direct contact with him for barely two days. On the surface, it appeared as if Zaine's personality was cocky and more on the playful side, while with his family, it changed into a more serious and elusive nature.More sex demon-ish maybe? I wouldn't be surprised if his family brought out the beastly sides of him more so than who he encountered on the streets as a predator wander

Parking my car in front of the morgue, I got out and stretched my sore body. It was sometime around noon, reminding me of my empty stomach and how I'd barely consumed any food over the past two days.I'd been so focused on surviving the tsunami waves of Zaine—and by extension his brother— I'd forgotten about all other bodily functions. Before I headed back to the motel, I'd stop at the gas station and grabbed me and Zaine something to eat. He probably didn't need to eat regular food, but it was worth a shot at being polite. If anything, we'd both get a kick out of it and laugh. Pushing the double doors open, I stepped into the cool lobby and looked around. It was empty at the front desk with no other life signs seeming to be anywhere. It was kind of ironic in a sense but made for an annoying process to try and figure out what the fuck I was supposed to do.After giving up on waiting for five minutes, I headed around the desk and pushed open the door to the back ro

Kaius pulled up to the scene in record time with both his brother and me crammed into the back seat of his Camaro. My heart stuttered inside my chest while my phone continued to vibrate in my hand. The alert pinged repeatedly, my ID the only one that had responded to it so far.I was scared to see what we were walking into. What kind of mess the brothers' father had left for us, or if he was still there, slaughtering people. What were they going to do once they were faced with the stark reality of their parent surrounded by bodies?Zaine's arm was tight around my shoulders, squeezing me into his chest as much as he could inside the cramped space. It wouldn't surprise me if his thoughts were thinking along the same lines. How he was going to have to deal with me arresting his father, or worse.Take him out.I shuddered at the thought. I didn't want Zaine hurt—or Kaius, by extension. As soon as the car rolled to a stop, I untangled myself from Zaine's arms and p

I was knocked to the ground with such force my back skidded along the club floor, hauling me back a good ten feet until all momentum was lost, and I stopped. My palms stung from where my magic had collected, the density of it giving me a light burn over the surface of my skin.The snapping of jaws and teeth had me propelling my body off the ground, just in time to see the shifters run into the club and attack Kaius. He battered them away expertly, keeping them from advancing any further toward me as they fought his hold. He was strong, a lot more than I'd been expecting.One of the shifters unhinged their jaw, clamping down on Kaius' shoulder to hold him in place. He quickly grabbed the back of the shifter's scruff, ripping him off of his arm before prying the jaw back and cracking it apart.The sound of breaking bone had me wincing and covering my ears. It made my teeth clench, that sound reverberating inside my skull. When I looked up, I dodged to the left; a shi

A few months later…"Are you sure about this?"I turned away from the bathroom mirror, the curling iron still wrapped around a section of my hair. Zaine leaned against the doorway, watching me with a frown on his face. I hated him looking so glum like that, especially with where we were going tonight."It won't be that bad." Trying to reassure him as best as I can.He crossed his arms over his chest, not answering me back. Turning back around, I dropped the curl and let it bounce before spraying it with product to keep it tightly wound. I could feel Zaine tracking my every move, the soft pulses of his desire for me rang through the bathroom. It flattered me in a way that was hard to describe accurately. He'd been respectful of my time today, knowing I'd set aside a certain amount of time for myself to get ready for tonight's dinner and that derailing those plans by seducing me into bed would piss me off as soon as I came to.I'm sure he'd be able to sw
