As soon as Raphael and Maximus left the room, I took off my sweaty clothes and changed into a more sexy lingerie. It was bright red and cut very low, my breasts were practically spilling. I added red lipstick to my face and caked my face with makeup. If he was willing to pay that amount of money, then he'd want to be impressed.Looking at my reflection through the mirror, I nodded in approval. There were rules whenever I was having a private session with a client. They could only sit and watch. No touching. I'd been offered hundreds of dollars to go home with them, but I'd nicely declined all the time. That didn't seem to stop them though. They were very persistent.Getting paid to be fucked made me feel like a whore. I'd prefer getting fucked for pleasure and nothing more. 'As if being a stripper doesn't classify you as a whore.' Mia chirped inside my head. Yeah, Mia was still here. She hadn't died, thankfully. Though, she had been quiet for almost six months before she started tal

Rose's POVI had fallen asleep in between watching a movie with the guys but the sound of knocking on the door abruptly woke me up.I looked up to find Max and Raphael so engrossed in the movie, I was sure they didn't hear the sound of someone banging on the door. But I was too lazy to stand up. I snuggled into the warm blankets as the knocking continued catching Raphael's attention.“I think someone's at the door. I'll go get it.” He said, standing to his feet as he walked towards the door. I could hear his surprised voice as soon as he saw whoever was at the door. “You? What are you doing here?” Raphael's stunned voice questioned.I could faintly hear the voice of a man behind the door. “She invited you over?” Raphael replied. “Hold on a sec, let me go get her.” He closed back the door and I was already fully awake at this time. Goddess, let it not be who I think it was.“Who is it?” I asked, though I already had an inkling of who it could be. “The guy from the club. The one who

Aurora's POVI was currently sitting on the bed, staring at my phone as my finger hovered over Raphael's mobile number.I had decided to call Raphael instead of Maximus because I knew he would be more understanding. Maximus would throw a fit and probably hunt me down.The look they had shared earlier made me realize they could easily find out where I was. How they were able to do that, I didn't know. I finally mustered up the courage to click the dial. Raphael answered on the second ring. “Aurora? Where the hell are you? It's one am in the morning and we are worried sick.” Raphael said quietly and I heard shuffling on the other end as if he was getting out of bed. “I'm sorry, Raphael. Did I wake you?” I spoke softly.“No you didn't. I'm currently hiding in the bathroom. I don't want Max to listen in on our conversation and you calling by this hour means something's up. Is everything okay?”I took in a deep breath and dropped the bomb. “Raphael, I need to tell you something. I won't

“I'm not tearing down my walls for anyone again. You want to know what's inside? CLIMB.” Aurora's POV Today is the day. Today I was so not looking forward to it. Dominic would be coming to the club today and he would be seeing me for the first time in seven years. I secretly couldn't wait for the expression I would see on his face. The club was wildly chaotic. The excessive consumption of alcohol and poor choices, as well as the certainty of future regret, were inevitable outcomes. It was surprisingly busy for a Monday night. We always had many customers on Friday nights. I passed by a scowling Raphael and Maximus. They have been giving me the cold shoulders ever since I arrived. I knew Raphael was only doing it also because of his mate. Whenever I'd ask questions, he'd respond curtly. I found it really funny but laughing would only make matters worse. They'd offered me shelter in my darkest moment and I wasn't about to pay them back by throwing them into my dangerous world. M

Aurora's POVI watched in pure horror as Maximus continued throwing punches after punches at Rostov. But what shocked me the most was Rostov's reaction to everything.He just stood there with a crazed expression on his face but he didn't even attempt to fight back. I didn't know if that made me feel better or worse. If anything, he looked unaffected.“Max, stop!” I yelled as I attempted to get him off of Maximus but he didn't bulge.I looked up at Raphael and gave him a pleading eyes.He walked towards the two and gently touched Max's shoulder and he immediately calmed down. Raphael stepped in between the two, slightly pushing Maximus away.Rostov grinned with bloodied lips as he cleaned invisible dust from his shirt. He folded his arms, “Are you done? Because you hit like a bitch.” He wiped the blood from his mouth and looked at it with a gleeful expression before slipping it into his mouth with a pleased moan.“A vampire?” Maximus said in disbelief as he stared at Rostov with widene
