BlairThe journey to find the vampire took longer than I thought it would. It would’ve been faster if I rode Hunter’s wolf, but something about that makes me feel uncomfortable. I don’t think he would harm me, but when it comes down to it, he’s a total stranger. I don’t know his intentions.My feet have blisters on them and apparently the vampire lives at the top of a hill and the uphill terrain is exhausting. The sun is already setting and I’m beginning to feel hopeless and like Hunter might be taking me for a ride.I look over at him, he took his shirt off hours ago murmuring about how he hates traveling in his human form, I’ve tried not to look at him much since. He’s too attractive and distracting.His southern drawl drives me crazy especially when he’s looking out for my safety. I don’t know why he cares about me other than the fact he wants to sleep with me.He says, “We should probably make camp for the night, darling.”I frown, “How much longer till we get there?”He lets out
RayaThe trip to Arthur’s house took longer because of Blade allowing the ability to learn how to run. It is absolutely invigorating, I didn’t even know that my body was capable of moving at such high speeds.Blade would smile at me and I don’t think that I’ve ever seen his smile so broad. This energy between us is contagious, infectious, making me want to constantly chase this high that I’m experiencing. Never in my life have I felt something as wonderful as this. I hate how long it took me to recognize what’s happening to me, but I’m grateful to know now because now I can really have the chance to live my life the way I want to.No more hiding, no more limiting myself, I am free to be who I am!Well… to an extent… I still have to deal with the Ambrose brothers, but more and more I’m finding that I enjoy their company and I wouldn’t mind officially being a part of the Ambrose House. I don’t know if that will ever happen, I think it would be Julian’s decision and… he will only like me
RayaMy heart felt like it stopped when I heard Arthur’s voice again. It took me by surprise, I wasn’t expecting him to be just behind us. But I’m sure with how loud we were being that we disturbed his night. I turn towards him, but he isn’t looking at me. His eyes are focused on Blade, he thought he had paid his debt, but now Blade is back which meant that things weren’t in the clear like he thought it was. Blade seems like he’s having a hard time to decide where his focus should be. Should it be on Arthur or Hunter? Neither one seemed like they liked his presence, both kind of gave the vibe like they wanted to kill him more than anything else.I let out a breath and Blade asks him, “Did you think the dog would be powerful enough to protect you from me?”Hunter lets out a growl and says, “I am an Alpha, Blade Ambrose, and a powerful one at that. I demand you treat me with respect or I may have no other choice than to retaliate.”Blade turns his head to him and says, “That depends o
RayaArthur squirms under my intense gaze, obviously uncomfortable with the conversation. But I need to know more about my origin. I say, "What powers do I have? You said you used to have other children, and they got too strong from consuming too much. What powers were common with them?"His cheeks puff out as he gives a long exhale and says, "The speed is common with everyone, fast reflexes, um... most didn't experience much outside of that.""But some did?" I question.His eyes narrow at me, he now is looking at me with a rather intense gaze and he asks, "Raya, are you experiencing some abilities you haven't talked about?"I shift uncomfortably in my seat, feeling exposed under Arthur's piercing eyes. "I don't know," I mutter, averting my eyes. "Sometimes I feel like I can sense things before they happen, like a premonition or something. But... it hasn't happened frequently. And... the more blood I consume, the more I can see how my human side is fading. I'm starting to be unable to
RayaAs we approached the Ambrose Estate my stomach felt twisted in knots. If Julian Ambrose sees me he’s going to want answers immediately and right now… I don’t trust him. I don’t feel like I can say everything that Arthur told me.Blade surprises me because as we head inside he doesn’t let me go. Instead, he carries me all the way to my room and then brings me inside the room and drops me on the bed. I look up at him, my eyebrows raised in surprise as I watch him begin to pace around my room.I tilt my head tot he side, he seems as if he’s overwhelmed by anxiety, but that’s not a quality I would normally associate with Blade. He is strong, confident… I don’t understand what has him so rattled.I ask softly, “Are you okay, Blade?”He freezes and looks over at me and states, “I invited a werewolf and a human to come here if they had questions for you. I’m… sure, I guess you could say that I’m ‘okay’.” He lets out a huff and I tilt my head to the side and asked, “Why did you do it if
RayaThe world stills, my heartbeat quickens, my toes curl. My entire being is lost into Blade and his lips and where his hands move to. I can’t help the soft moan that slips from me, but the moment is lost in an instant as the door slams open and Luther shouts, “I KNEW IT!”Blade rips away from me, scowling as he looks at his brother. Luther looks smug as he walks into the room and says, “You like Raya.”Blade rolls his eyes in annoyance add I can’t help but feel pleased from the fact that he doesn’t deny it. He does like me, he wants to be with me. Adam closes the door behind him as he walks back into my room. He moves past me, closer to Blade as he seethes, “What are you thinking?”Blade doesn’t respond instantly and Adam rants, “Do you know the kind of trouble that you’ll be in if father finds out about this? Do you want to die, Blade? Do you want her to die?”Blade’s voice drips with sarcasm as he says, “You act like I’m not already dead.”“You and I both know that there is a way
BlairIt’s been three days since Hunter and I returned to the Moon Pack and I abandoned my goal of rescuing my sister. I’ve stayed at the pack, unsure of what to do with myself because I don’t want to go home. I want to figure out what’s going on with Raya, but when I mentioned it to Hunter he told me to wait a couple of days.I don’t know what we’re waiting for and it makes me frustrated. Those bloodsuckers still have her in their clutches. There’s no way she could be safe for the long term and yet…. She had no problem sending me away.I fall back on the bed in frustration as I stare up at the ceiling. For the most part Hunter has left me alone to process things and he has seemed pretty busy with his pack that he hasn’t come to bother me much. I get delivered food for every meal so I’ve had no reason to venture outside of this room unless I’m wanting human interaction.The thing is, I don’t know what I want. With life, with Raya, with… anything. And it’s frustrating because I almost
RayaIt’s been a week since the Adam, Blade, and Luther admitted their feelings for me. They’ve left me alone so that I can have time to process. I haven’t seen Adam at all. Blade is always near, watching me and keeping me safe, but he doesn’t interact with me and I haven’t figured out the words to say to him. I’ve seen Luther in passing. I walk into a room, he leaves it and that’s how it’s been.I don’t know how to talk to any of them. But I feel overwhelmed with guilt for not knowing which one of them I want. For not realizing sooner that they might have feelings for me.The choice should be obvious, I should pick and want Blade. He’s been there for me the most and has made me feel valued. But I think of Luther and his charisma and the chill that I get when he calls me his toy. I think of how I haven’t seen him take a girl to his room, human or vampire, since I came here. And from the way the boys talked apparently that had been a very common thing from him.I think of Adam. I think
