Chapter 41: Raw

I hadn’t stopped thinking about Felix since he left my side outside after we shared that kiss that should never have happened. I was sure the sun had already risen and so I wouldn’t be seeing him again anytime soon. The way he left and the sound he made as he fled the scene made my cheeks warm up each time without fail. I was embarrassed by what I felt and thought in the moments before the kiss. How had things changed so drastically? How did I go from hating him with all my heart to thinking it was okay for him to kiss me? Where was the old Jade? Had feelings of guilt and loneliness shaped her forever? I had to admit that I’d become unrecognizable, even to myself. Now, I was only wondering what he thought. Had he felt because of how disgusted he was? I didn’t want to think that way but he hadn’t given me a choice. I was now self-conscious and too self-aware to wind down and not worry about it at all. I wondered why it was that he didn’t look at me after the kiss when he was the one

Chapter 42: A Trip to the City

It was a major surprise to me when Felix knocked on my bedroom door. When I opened it, he was leaning against the door frame. He was wearing a leather jacket with a plain black T-shirt underneath—his usual attire. The one thing that was considerably different about him was the look on his eyes. The neutrality he’d shown me earlier was gone.I’d never met this Felix Russell before. “I’m going into the city tonight,” he told me. “I was wondering if you wanted to come with me.”I searched his eyes before responding, “And what are we going to do there exactly?”“Aren’t you hungry?”I wanted to tell him I wasn’t but I kept that to myself. He probably already heard it anyway. Driving into the city was exactly what I needed to fight this endless boredom away and it excited me, the thought of going back. “Give me a few minutes,” I replied before closing the door. I got ready in record time. It was only a shame that I had to wear my old clothes which were starting to look less presentable

Chapter 43: Unpleasant Experiences

“What are you doing?” I asked him, my heart beating incredibly fast. I wondered why my first instinct was to ask him that and not scream. I should have screamed. He was pointing a gun at me. “Trying to save your life,” he said between his teeth, stepping closer. “When I received the call that you were here, I knew I had to come even though we didn’t part ways in the most friendly way, did we?”“That’s because you’re a hypocrite,” I shot at him. “You told me to stay away from Felix because he wasn’t trustworthy yet you were keeping things from me too, weren’t you?”I wanted to ask him how he’d received the call and from whom, but I didn’t think it would matter. He was here already. “Look,” he said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t know what he said from you. I’m genuinely just trying to help you, can’t you see that? They’re not good for you. You can’t tell me that you haven’t already figured that out.”“You’re not good for me either,” I stated. “Unless you want me to

Chapter 44: Tenderness

After putting all the food away, I could finally rest. The night had been pleasant yet stressful toward the end. I couldn’t recall how happy I’d been earlier without remembering my father in that bathroom, holding a gun. Why he was so adamant to get me away from Felix was a mystery to me. How could I be useful to him? That was another question that was on my mind.Why couldn’t he just leave me alone?I sat on one of the stools next to the counter and drummed my fingertips against the countertop lightly. I was deep in thought when Sven strode in. His hair was everywhere and he looked like he had just woken up. He was also barefoot and wore only a pair of pants. It wasn’t a look I’d ever seen on him before. “Oh, Jade,” he said when he saw me. “Wasn’t expecting to see you here so early.”“It’s five in the morning,” I remarked. “Is it early or late?”“You know the answer where I’m concerned,” he replied as he walked toward the pantry. I knew what they kept there so I kept my eyes fixed

Chapter 45: Familiar Territory

The knock at the door awoke something inside of me. I looked at Felix’s face and realized what I was doing. I was shocked by my reaction and when he got off me, I felt cold. Still, I didn’t particularly care even though I was somewhat in shock. I still wanted him. I still craved his touch. I had no idea what I’d do later when the guilt hit me but right now, all I wanted was to feel good. I watched him walk toward the door and open it. Jay was standing on the other side of the door. Why wasn’t I surprised? He glanced at me over Felix’s shoulder and his expression wasn’t all that pleasant. When I looked down at my body, I saw how my abdomen was exposed. I quickly lowered it as they exchanged a few heated words at the door, too low for me to make much sense of what they were saying. Felix then closed the door. He stood with his hand on the doorframe for a handful of seconds before he turned around to look at me. I, in turn, looked at him expectantly. I noticed how his expression had

Chapter 46: Disaster

The night was going smoothly. Marina and I were having a great time. She said she was lonely most of the time because she rarely had company. Although her human friends came by once in a while, she had lost touch with a lot of them because she couldn’t visit their homes, and they couldn’t do normal things together. This was mostly because she didn’t want to leave Phil behind. He was even lonelier than she was, and to her it felt wrong. Phil and the others hadn’t come up from what she called ‘the Den’ yet. It was the place where he met with all the vampires who visited him, and she never ventured down there for fear of seeing something she didn’t want to see. So, we were alone for the longest time. She asked me about my story and I was reluctant to tell her most of it. My past was too dark and complicated to share it casually, so we focused on something else instead, something that intrigued her: “How did you end up with them?”“It’s a little complicated,” I began. “It was Felix w

Chapter 47: Red

“Jade,” Vanessa said. Her voice sounded distant. I looked up and her face was a blur. “We have to go,” she pressed. “Now.”I stood on shaky legs and she took my arm. I felt nauseous and my dizziness didn’t pass. Still, I tried my best not to fall flat on my face. There was a sense of urgency around her and all her actions. I understood that I had to move and fast. We went down the stairs and I nearly tripped many times. We made it downstairs safely, though. The sight didn’t do me any favors. The whole floor was covered in the darkest blood, so dark that it was almost black. My eyes widened when I saw the dead wolves littered around the living area. My stomach lurched and I ended up vomiting right on the floor. “Great,” someone murmured behind me. Jay, of course. His arms were covered in blood and he had splatters of it on his face. A massacre had occurred here yet they were all unscathed. It was only then that I understood how truly lethal they were. Sven walked through the en

Chapter 48: Lost

I was lying on my bed and feeling terrible. I somehow managed to make it all the way here. I had Felix’s help, of course, but I felt so weak that I didn’t think I’d be able to climb the stairs. I was demoralized and my guilt wasn’t helping me. I felt like I’d killed Marina and Phil. I’d ruined their happiness. And over time, I became angry at all of them for not telling me what was going to happen. Maybe I would have held myself back. Maybe I would have been prepared for the disaster that happened. She was a good person. She didn’t deserve to die. I hated Felix. I hated all three of them. Right now, I wanted to be anywhere but here. If I could just get those grisly scenes out of my mind, I would have felt better. But I couldn’t. I couldn’t erase the memory of him walking in with her in his arms. And then him dying because he couldn’t fathom living a life without her. I sat up in bed when the noise in my head got too loud. I took a few steadying breaths before deciding that what

Chapter 49: More Secrets

I awoke with a dry throat that forced me to go downstairs to get some water. My head was pounding and I suspected that it was because of my dehydration. I felt completely discouraged and every time I thought about Phil and Marina, I felt sickened. Another thing that hit me hard, of course, was the fact that I would have been torn to pieces by those wolves if she hadn't worn that dress to carry my scent. And there was that wolf, of course, the one I felt I knew so well yet had never laid my eyes on. I couldn't get the look in its eyes out of my mind. The feeling that came over me was impossible to describe and some of it still lingered inside of me, that I knew for sure. But why? What was it?I genuinely couldn't figure it out. I was glad to see the whole house empty. I didn't come across anyone or accidentally heard a conversation I shouldn't have heard. I opened the fridge and drank as much water as my stomach could handle. I felt a little sick afterward but at least it was a pos

Chapter 50: Taken

‘Tomorrow’ came and went, and I didn’t feel a single change. I could positively say that I felt better, though. I didn’t feel like crying every time I thought about Marina, which was a great improvement. I could see that things were going to get better and I’d be able to put this behind me. Felix and I occasionally came across each other but we never mentioned any of the more intimate moments we shared. It was just something that we couldn’t talk about, and it was better that way. I wouldn’t know what to say if I was ever confronted by the situation.It was just something that would have to stay forgotten. I was surprised one evening when he came up to my room and leaned against the doorframe as he watched me eat. I’d started eating upstairs because every time I walked past the living area, I felt uncomfortable. The other vampires never treated me badly—I’d say that Jay was just indifferent to me—but a change had happened almost overnight and they barely interacted with me. I coul
