[Ayla’s POV]Pain shoots through me when my feet hit the ground, but I remain upright. Letting out a puff from the exertion, I stare up at the window I just jumped from and send a silent apology for disobeying the doctor's orders.Looking down, I take in the pants and bra that I’m in. I guess they would have to do for now since I couldn’t risk going back in for some normal clothes.Feeling a sudden flare from the darkness, I turn and begin to move. I could only hope I arrived at my destination before it got too bad.Giving Jameson Estate one more look, I begin to move, breaking into a run while ignoring my injuries that scream at me to stop. With each slam of my foot on the ground beneath me, I feel the stitches on my stomach threatening to tear, but I don’t stop until I spot the small villa where she was located.Slowing down, I find the familiar storm drain that I usually use to pay my visits due to having to avoid being seen by the rest of her family due to my being of a different
[Ayla’s POV]I let myself relax some more as Marah’s familiar power began to wash over me. Although I could verbally give her a play-by-play, she preferred to see it firsthand, which meant that I in turn got to live the encounters again. It was almost like going back in time to repeat the same actions again.Closing my eyes, I see Aera’s naked form hovering over me as my arms reach up and wrap around his neck.Letting out a mewl of content, I dig my nails deep into his skin while wrapping my legs around his waist so that I could pull his erect dick closer to my entrance."Don’t be impatient, baby," he murmurs, beginning to pepper kisses along my jaw and down my neck. "I always return favors."As he speaks, he dips his head out of my grasp so that my hands collapse against my chest and begin to knead my breasts while Aera’s lips trail kisses down my stomach to my hips and then down to my already soaked slit.Letting out an excited growl, he throws my legs over each of his shoulders and
[Ayla's POV]For the next week, I stay locked up in the estate thanks to being found trying to sneak back in after my visit to Marah by Uncle Silas and Aunt Lennox.After a long lecture about caring more about my health and my body, I was put on strict surveillance to the point I couldn't even piss or shit without someone asking me what I was doing. It was frustrating, but there was no way that I was going to manage to convince them to let up my punishment, especially after what happened at the twins' birthday party.By the time my week was up, I was more than ready to escape, but even that wasn't possible due to my having to get back to training for my evaluation so I could graduate from the academy.That's why, on the morning of day seven of what I lovingly deemed solitary confinement, I donned a white shirt and a pair of yoga pants before heading out of my room and downstairs, where I was sure Isabella was waiting for me."Morning!" she chirps as she spots me. "I was beginning to w
[Aera's POV]A week passed after the incident within Crimson Tides, and despite trying by all means to get information on Ayla Jameson, Benny continued to come up empty-handed.Anytime he would come close to finding something, his trail would be obliterated. It was clear that someone was working behind the scenes to keep her secrets safe, and that just spurred me even more to uncover them.That was why I was now standing right in front of the woman in question, as she didn't bother hiding her suspicion of me.I was aware that Anchorage Academies seniors had to prepare for their graduation evaluation and decided to participate in their first round of training after a week's break.In the end, I decided that since I couldn't find anything by trying to dig, I would try another tactic, which would be to get close to her so she could reveal her secrets herself. Once I knew what Crimson Tides was hiding, I would reveal it to the world and destroy them just as they destroyed my brother."Bes
[Ayla’s POV]"Why haven’t you healed?"Aera’s voice pulls me back to reality, where everyone is standing around me, eyeing me as if I’m an enigma.Frowning, I try to make sense of their looks before I realize that I’m being cradled in Aera’s arms."If you see that your classmate is injured, why just stand around?" He demands, shooting them all glares. "Is this how you’ll act toward your comrades on the battlefield?""Leave them alone," I huff, knowing that if he keeps this up, I’m going to be the one who gets the backlash later. "And put me down."As I speak, I attempt to break free of Aera’s hold, but he only tightens his grip, sending waves of pain through me."Don’t move," he hisses, beginning to make his way toward the academy. "Why did you even think it would be a good idea to come to this practice when your injury isn’t healed?""Why is that any of your concern?" I shoot back. "I feel fine and therefore am able to practice just as I would even if I wasn’t injured."Missing any o
[Aera’s POV]Ayla’s expression shifts from angry to terrified as she begins to look around for a way to escape. Her actions alone make it clear that whatever has caused her eye color to change is more than just a sign of her being a hybrid."I’ve gotta," she stammers, whirling around and grabbing the door."No, you don’t!"Before she can pull the door open, I slam my palm against it and lock her in. If she thought she was going to escape after something like that happened, she had another fucking thing coming."You better explain what this is," I hiss. "And you better have a damn good explanation; otherwise, I will be forced to contact the elders.""Contact them," she laughs bitterly. "They’re already watching me like hawks anyway."At her words, I feel a slight twinge of sympathy, but as quickly as it appears, it is gone, and all that is left is a resolute decision to find out if Ayla should be allowed to continue walking around with the rest of us.I noticed it before when we were f
[Aera's POV]"Ah, yes, harder, Aera!"I lift a hand and bring it down on Corinna's ass cheek, leaving a print behind."How do you address me?" I ask, stopping my movements."I'm sorry, Daddy," Corinna whimpers. "Please punish me for my slip-up."Grunting, I grab onto the headboard in front of me and begin to thrust harder in and out of her until her head is close to connecting with it.With each movement, her fingers dig deeper into the mattress beneath her, to the point where I fear I may have to buy another one.Deciding to avoid that possibility, I reach down and wrap her long black hair around my hand. Tugging, I pull her against me, I hold her in place while my other hand slides up to her throat and begins to squeeze, choking her just enough to make things interesting but not enough to scare her.Giving it a squeeze, I quicken my movements, fucking her as hard and fast as I can until I feel her pussywalls squeeze tightly around my dick while her juices begin to flow."Ah, daddy,
[Ayla’s POV]I look up at Marah’s balcony, wondering whether or not I should climb up. I can hear the sounds of her and Jayden going at it like rabbits, but the clawing in my chest pushes me to take my chances.Rushing to the side of her house, I begin to climb and then hoist myself over the balcony, only to collapse to my knees and clutch my chest in pain.Fuck, I didn’t know what was happening, but since my encounter with Aera, the darkness was desperately trying to escape, and nothing I did could stop it.Letting out a hiss of pain, I reach out and begin to pound my fist against the glass of Marah’s balcony door until she appears with a blanket wrapped around herself."Ayla?" she gasps, yanking the door open and kneeling in front of me. "What’s wrong?""It’s…" I rasp as dark spots begin to dance in front of my eyes. "Getting worse."Understanding flashes in Marah’s eyes, and then she is moving, heading back inside and grabbing Jayden so he can pick me up and carry me inside, then l
