AdeaWithout a second glance my way, Shane walked quickly out of the dungeons and I tripped a few times as he pulled me up the stairs. I wasn’t sure what or how I was going to do this. Shane was angry, I could feel it. He didn’t look at me as we walked out into the hallway, he slammed the door shut after I walked out.We made it maybe four steps when he turned around and I was shoved up against the wall. My back made contact first and I cried out when my head followed. The world was spinning as my brain rattled in my head.Before I could shake it off or pull myself together, Shane’s lips were on me. His hands were bruising on my waist, my breast, my throat. His lips were demanding and angry as if he were punishing me.I welcomed it and I welcomed him. My mind had been in turmoil since the moment I saw Ethan. It only got more unbearable as I fought with the two wholly different halves of my heart. I needed it to stop, I needed it all to stop. I needed the pain to go away, to focus on s

Mavy rolled her eyes before linking her hand with mine.“Let’s sit in the front,” she said as she turned her back on him.A thing not many have done and survived but when it came to Mavy, she could do whatever she wanted and he wouldn’t bat an eye. He pretended of course but we knew it was shit. He’d never hurt her.“Goddess, it’s so good to have you back,” Mavy said as she leaned her head against mine. “Are you here to stay?”“Yes,” I gulped. She could always tell when I was lying. Was I lying?"Hm,” she said. I know she had to have seen my mark. It was hard to miss. “How did Shane happen?”“I didn’t do anything!” Shane called from behind us.“I’m sure,” Mavy joked. “Did he kidnap you?”“No,” I laughed. “Surprisingly enough, I came here myself.” Mavy’s eyebrow arched as she looked at me.“Interesting. What about your mate?” She asked. Well, she was hitting it right on the nail today, wasn’t she?“I’m leaving him. Well, I left him.”“Mm… I didn’t know that was possible,” Mavy said.“I

Ethan I jerked as I fell into ice-cold water. Fragments began to flash through my mind. My head was barely above water and it was a struggle to breathe. I was being pulled under and no matter how much I fought against it, the ocean kept dragging me down. Every time I failed, I was pulled under just to be hurled into another fragment of a memory, I wasn’t sure was even mine. The first one I was forced to experience had me hot. Sweat beaded and rolled down my temple and I let out a guttural groan as I fucked someone. My eyes were closed most of the time, so I didn’t know who it was. Every time I opened my eyes, I tried and failed to get a good look at her face. All I could tell was that she was blonde. Her fingers dug into my shoulder and I hissed. I didn’t love this woman, I didn’t care about her. Who was she? I broke through the surface and inhaled as much air as I could before I was pulled under again. The cold water splashed against my face and I choked as I started to drown. I wa

Adea “He knows.” That was what was written on the note Mavy gave me. It had been short and sweet. Two simple words. Two words that strikes fear into my soul and had me biting my nails. Two words that I couldn’t get out of my head. He knows. He knows. He knows. The contents of the note were on repeat in my mind as we walked up the stairs. Knows? Knows what? What does she know? How did she know? Was she aware? Was this revenge? What was Mavy’s motive behind this? Was this a trap? Should I be suspicious of her? If she didn’t want to help me, why would she go through the trouble to do this? The possibilities were endless and when it all came down to it, did it matter? If she was trying to help, then wasn’t the only thing I needed to do was follow through? Was I thinking too hard on this? My feet come to a stop in front of our door and my mind goes blank. A warm firm hand pushes me forward and I’m engulfed in darkness as I stumble forward. I turn around in time to see Shane’s dark si

Was there a kiss that could break it? Was this a dark fairy tale that could have a happy ending now that I knew about the past and the curse? Was there a way to cause a change in the curse? Was there an ending that needed to be reached so that a change would occur? Was there a clause that we never knew of that could stop it and if there was, would I do it? Was there something Shane knew of from the first life? Or was this how it was supposed to go now? Was this how my life was now? Was this how my lives would continue to be? Was breaking the curse even a possibility? Was the curse meant to be broken or was I going to continue living it? Choosing Ethan meant that I was choosing the curse and while. Didn’t want to dive into it. I didn’t even want to think too hard about it, I knew it to be true. I was not only choosing Ethan, I was choosing to repeat this cycle. I was choosing the curse and I was choosing to live with it. I’d chosen Ethan, I had chosen the curse. If Shane was cursed as
