RuinGreat fucking going, Ruin, you gave her a kiss. A bloody forehead kiss! As if my life wasn’t already a tangled mess, now I’ve gone and added another knot to it—a knot named Chloe Jane.I close my eyes, but the image of her, looking up at me with those unseeing eyes, trusting and innocent, haunts me. The last thing she needs is more confusion, more uncertainty. And what do I do? I lay a kiss on her like some bloody love-struck fool. I’m a fucking idiot who needs to keep his emotions on a tighter leash. I’ve never been this reckless before, and Chloe Jane’s vulnerable as it is.It’s been hours since I turned in, but I can’t seem to sleep while replaying the events of this afternoon in my head. I overstepped, there’s no denying that. I’ve been overstepping since the moment I arrived, letting my guard down, letting her in. That needs to stop. I need to stop.There was a time when I didn’t give a fuck about people’s feelings; when I completely gave into who I was without remorse. Tha

Chloe JaneAll too soon, we’re back at our estate, and when Ruin opens the door for me, I remove my mobility cane from my handbag and walk inside. I can hear him hesitating, but I need to be alone right now.“Please don’t follow me,” I throw over my shoulder, but I know he won’t listen to me. It’s his job to watch over me, as he always tells me.While walking out toward the back garden, I drop his coat and remove the pins from my hair, throwing them down as I walk. As soon as my curls tumble out of its confines, I feel like myself again. I reach a place close to the woods at the back and sit down on the dewy grass, not caring that I may be damaging the dress I’m wearing. Then I pull my knees up and rest my forehead on them before the tears start to fall.Fat and blind. I’ve never been spoken about with such contempt before and all because of a man I don’t even want. That’s one thing about growing up sheltered my entire life; I had no idea people could be so cruel.Actually, I didn’t

Chloe JaneMy hands won’t stop shaking and my heart is sitting in my throat. I’ve been nibbling on my muesli for the last few minutes with absolutely no appetite, because the reality of what I’ve done is finally setting in.I know my father won’t choose me, and that’s what hurts the most. He’ll be calling me up to his office soon to give me a talking to and to tell me I’m being selfish because my decision will impact everyone.As if I don’t know that already. It’s been drilled into me that the wellbeing of the pack, no matter how small, is more important than one singular person. But I’m not going to allow myself to be sold just because my father had an agreement with Alpha Mason.I don’t care if he’s going to be the next Sovereign in line. Just as I throw my spoon down, ready to tell Ruin to take me out to the back garden, I faintly hear the tap-tap-tap of Kim’s heels sprinting toward me. I take a deep breath, knowing she’s going to rip me a new one, so as I rise to my feet, I alrea

Chloe JaneMy life has drastically changed in the space of +-36 hours. I’m no longer the daughter of a Sovereign; I’m on the run with a bodyguard who has a bounty on his head, a fugitive..After meeting with the vampire, which was terrifying in itself, we did exactly what Ruin said we would, and now we’re on the way to a safe house. I have never felt so out of my depth in my life, and that’s coming from a blind girl.Knowing Kim and my father could be dead is still a heartbreaking possibility, but then again I didn’t feel our link snapping like I did when my mother died. That’s the only thing keeping me going right now.But that also means that Mason could be holding them hostage doing Goddess knows what to them. I shake my head, trying to put that thought on the back burner. It won’t help to be negative right now; I have to stay strong even if the guilt is eating me alive.“We’re here,” Ruin says as he brings the car to a stop. I breathe out a sigh and wait for him, feeling even more

Chloe JaneAs I pace the bedroom floor, the wooden floor creaks under my hesitant steps, each one a stark reminder of my racing thoughts. It’s almost the full moon, the time I’ve always dreaded, and now, it’s entangled with a sense of impending doom. The room feels smaller, the walls closing in on me with every labored breath.I can barely focus on anything else, all I’m thinking about is how my wolf will react to the only male close to me. I shudder as I think about it… but not out of fear. I don’t even remember meeting my wolf, if I ever did.Knowing I’m about to experience the full moon without the help of medication, has my heart beating erratically. It’s like standing at the edge of a cliff, knowing I’m about to fall but not knowing what awaits at the bottom. I’ve never experienced my heat before, either, and the idea of going through it with Ruin, the man who’s been my rock, my protector, sends shivers down my spine.Ruin... He’s been more than just a bodyguard to me. There’s a
