61: Face It Together

Avery Her eyes fluttered and I was immediately at her side. Her soft, sleepy smile made everything feel like it might be okay again. "Avery," she whispered, her voice hoarse but steady. "Don't look at me like that. I'm fine." I gave her a tight smile, squeezing her hand. "You had us all worried, you know." "I know," she said with a soft chuckle, her eyes closing again as she yawned. "But I'm awake, I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere." "I'm so happy that you are awake, how could you have done that all alone, you should have called us, you should have told me your plans instead of endangering yourself like that, don't ever do that again Clara, I was scared to death." I couldn't help as I voiced my fear, she had a teasing smile on her lips as she looked at me. Beneath that, I could see that she was truly going through some pain but trying to act like she was okay. "I am sorry about what happened, I am sorry for doing all that without informing you, that was very wrong of me I w

62: Pay For Their Actions

Avery It felt like a whole weight of this world was lifted off my shoulders as I sat by Clara’s side watching her sleep, it was a good feeling. I had prayed for days she would wake up. There was so much I had to say to her, so much I needed to tell her that I feared I would never get the chance but when her eyelids fluttered open, when her breath finally steadied everything suddenly felt alright. The panic, the terror, it all melted away like morning fog in the sun. My heart was still racing, but it was a relief, a sweet, unexpected relief. She was alive. I would have died of guilt if anything had happened to her knowing that I was the reason she is in this state, Clara had sacrificed so much for me that I wasn’t sure of how I was ever going to pay her back. I kissed her forehead as I watched her dose off, she needed to rest again and left her in peace. The last thing I wanted to do was disturb her, but I also knew I needed a moment to breathe, to clear my mind. The house was quie

63: Devil’s Bargain

Ethan couldn’t stop smiling as he sat in front of his computer, watching the evidence once again. It wasn’t just the excitement of having something that could finally bring them down, it was the satisfaction of knowing how carefully he’d orchestrated this moment. The USB drive had been his ticket, a key to the door he’d been trying to break down for so long. He leaned back in his chair and laughed, the sound hollow in the empty room. There it was, right in front of him, proof. Proof of corruption, bribery, illegal deals. It was all there, neatly packaged on a single drive. Ethan had known the moment he set foot in this game that he couldn’t do it by playing fair. He needed leverage, something they wouldn’t see coming, something to turn the tables. And now, he had it. He closed his eyes for a moment, savoring the rush. The pieces were finally falling into place. He stood up from the desk, adjusting his shirt. A quick glance in the mirror. He needed to make an appearance, to let them

I could see the pain and anger in Annalise's eyes as Agiel confessed all that he had done in the past. I couldn't help but feel her pain as she sat close to me, her hands trembling with pain and anger.Everyone in the room was horrified at what Agiel had done. The leader of the council ordered the guards to take him away as he would be executed in some days time.Annalise pulled away from my hug, as the guards walked Agiel out of the room, but as soon as Agiel was close to Annalise's side of the table, he tackled the guard and lunged at Annalise with a knife, stabbing her on the chest before I could even blink an eye.I stood frozen, breath caught in my throat as my eyes widened in disbelief. My face drained of color, lips parted slightly, as if trying to speak, but no words came out.A shiver ran through me, and my hands trembled, as I tried to touch the wounded part of her chest, my heart pounded erratically, as I couldn't tear my gaze from the horrible scene, unable to fully compre

The door slammed behind Kingston, the echo lingering in the air like a warning. Jason stood by the window, his posture tense and jaw clenched, as though he was ready to throw someone else out if need be. The room felt charged, as though an unspoken threat lingered in every corner. I watched as Kingston walked to his car, turning around severally with a puzzled look on his face. “What the hell was that about?” I finally asked, breaking the heavy silence. My voice sounded stronger than I felt, but I wasn’t going to let Jason’s mood intimidate me.Jason turned, his dark eyes meeting mine with a stormy intensity. “You need to stay away from him, Willow. All of you do.”Ruby, seated on the couch, raised an eyebrow. “And why’s that? He seemed creepy, sure, but what’s the big deal?”Jason’s lips pressed into a hard line. “He’s not a good person, that’s the big deal. Trust me on this one. A few years ago, I worked on a case where Kingston was involved. I can’t go into details, but he’s bad n

From where I stood, in the corner of their chamber, I noticed there was some other presence just like me, some other vampire like me was also present, and I could smell them.I watched as Agiel stabbed the girl on her chest, and I let out a grin, my whole body, thirsty for her blood, and as the man beside her took her away, I walked out of the room gently and unnoticed.I decided to head back to the vampire castle, but first I needed to know if what felt right, I needed to know if exactly there was another vampire.As soon as I was out of sight and into the bushes, I had the leaves rustle and I froze, not out of fear but the fact that I know that, whoever that is knows I'm a vampire.“Show yourself.” I said, as I lowered the hood of the jacket I was wearing, to cover my face, and protect me from the blazing sun.“Show yourself already and don't hide inside the bushes.” I said, looking around me.“Draven?” The voice called, out of surprise, I turned around, my eyes widened in disbelief

When I regained consciousness, the world felt wrong. It was the kind of wrong you sense in your gut, but your mind is too clouded to process at first. My body ached, a deep, dull pain radiating from my neck and limbs. I tried to move, but the restraints holding me were tight, unforgiving. I could barely move my wrists, let alone my legs. My surroundings were unfamiliar, cold, metallic, and humming with the low, steady rumble of an engine. I blinked several times, trying to adjust to the dim light.The realization hit me slowly. I’m on a plane.I jerked my head to the side, feeling the sharp tug of the ropes, but nothing gave. There was no escape. The air around me was thin, carrying a stale scent that made my stomach churn. As I struggled to orient myself, I saw Elena. She was seated across from me, her gaze locked on mine, unwavering and predatory. “How long?” I rasped, my throat sore from the silence. My words felt foreign, like they hadn’t been used in days. “How long was I out?”

I sat in the study, the quiet hum of the house around me doing little to calm the storm swirling inside. My fingers absently tapped the edge of my desk, but I couldn’t focus on anything, nothing but her voice. “It’s disgusting, Lucas.”The words had landed heavier than I expected, heavier than I wanted to admit. They repeated in my mind, over and over, as though she was still standing in front of me, her eyes flashing with anger, her voice cutting through the space between us. Disgusting. The word felt like a punch. And I couldn’t quite shake the sting.I had gone too far, hadn’t I?I hadn’t meant to upset her, hadn’t meant to cross any lines. But watching her with Ryan tonight, seeing the way that man had looked at her and tried to touch her, I couldn’t sit by and pretend it was fine. She didn’t deserve that kind of treatment. But the way she’d turned on me, my attempt to protect her, to help, had been met with nothing but contempt.She doesn’t need me to protect her.That’s what her

By the time the next week rolled around, the plans to relocate the project team to Crescent Moon Pack were in their final stages. Everything was moving faster than I had expected. It felt like I had barely gotten my feet under me again after returning from the pack, and now I was heading back into their world. But this time, I wasn’t going to be there to stay. I had a project to manage, and my head was focused on the tasks ahead, not on the triplets or the complicated emotions that came with them. I only had one job to do, which was to do some research and avoid everything else. Ruby was also getting ready to leave. She’d been a great support to me, especially after everything that had happened with the triplets. But now, it was her turn. She had arranged an introduction between me and her mate before they traveled. She was insistent on it, and as much as I tried to avoid the subject, she wouldn’t let up. “I’m not going to leave without you meeting him,” she had said one evening whe

70: The Breaking Point

AveryThe phone slipped from my trembling fingers, clattering to the ground with a sharp, unforgiving sound. My eyes remained glued to Nathaniel, still processing what he had just said. It felt as if my heart had stopped beating, my entire body frozen in shock. I could hear the ringing in my ears, louder than anything else, drowning out everything he was saying.“Your dad is in a coma, Avery.”The words echoed in my head, over and over, but none of them seemed real. This couldn’t be happening. My mind was fighting against it. It had to be some mistake, some cruel joke. But Nathaniel’s face… it wasn’t joking. His expression was serious, filled with concern, but that didn’t make it easier to believe.“No,” I whispered, shaking my head in disbelief. “No. That can’t be right. He’s fine. He is always fine.” My voice was small.Nathaniel stepped closer, crouching down to pick up my phone from the floor, but I barely noticed. My eyes were still locked on him, searching for some glimmer of re
