“Just because you couldn’t survive out there, doesn’t mean I can’t,” Jerrika was arguing with the guards as I approached, “I’m allowed to leave.”
“Jerrika, I can’t let you go out there, your dad-”
“My dad is dead,” she said, a little too emotionless for a nine-year-old with a baby on her hip. Her back stiffened once she sensed my presence, standing taller as she prepared to face me.
“Jerrika, what’s going on?” I looked down at her as I linked some of the mothers I knew had recent babies, ‘I’d like someone willing to nurse another to meet me at the main gate.’
“I’m not a prisoner, am I?” She asked so matter-of-factly with no hint of aggression and I knew what it was like to hide all of your emotions, she must be exha

IAN Scar walked into Ambrosia with a murderous look, nodding his head to the back at me, and talking as soon as the door to the office slammed behind us. “We have a problem,” he paused, “It’s Lucius again. He killed an Alpha-” “Which Alpha?” I could feel every ripple of muscle in me tense. I haven’t quite worked out which pack my little wolf belongs to, but I know where Scar found her. “Black Claw’s, I’ve already ruled out-” “Unless you know for sure, you can’t really rule a pack out,” I snapped as I debated how to go about this, “and I assume that this is a problem because you don’t know where she is?” “She’s resourceful,” he tipped his head slightly down before meeting my eyes agai

IAN Alice was down there. Of that I was sure. The Heir’s weren’t just any Wolves, they were the royalty of their bloodline, each of them somehow descended from the original Wolf… that must be making the pain of losing them worse. She wasn't just losing an Alpha, she was a losing part of herself. The other heir had shifted back to human form, a tiny woman to have come from such a wolf, and as she let out a piercing scream, the pain my mate was feeling mounted. The crippling pain didn't last long but still had me on my knees watching the devastation unfold, anything Jasper was saying being lost to the wind, but as soon as the pain in my chest let up, the Heir jumped into the air. I half expected her to change in

IAN “What… did you… do?” Huffed my giant, very angry mate as his large hand was crushing my jaw. Blame it on desperation, on the endless nature of his eyes, or on the fact that I’d been without him now for weeks, but I was paralyzed as I stared up at him. When he finds out I’ve known our mate for over two weeks, he’s going to lose it. When he finds out that Lucius was near our mate, that she’s in pain and I left her, I’m dead. Part of me always knew this day would come. He would find her and there wouldn’t be a need or a place for me anymore. I wanted a chance with her, any chance to know her before he took over her world... because he would. It would be hard for her to resist him. Even now while he's close to becoming undone, the painful burning in my che

RIAN Sebastian was barely holding himself together, letting little snippets of his thoughts through that he thought he was keeping private. Losing Lucius would seem insignificant to most, a blessing to others, but to him, he was what made becoming a Vamp bearable. Lucius used to be carefree, a light where they had none. Sebastian was broken when I found him today, and I had to be careful not to give away my access to his thoughts. He’s my mate. Alice is my mate. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for either of them and although it may take time to prove that to him… he will see. I cared about how Sebastian was dealing with it all, but the priority right now was finding Alice and getting her to the safety of our home. The text message I received almost sent my beast

RIAN “What is this?” My body was reaching inferno heat, angry and vibrating that someone had already marked what was ours. We’ll kill them with our bare hands, we’ll erase any record of this mark from her and replace it with- “It’s my brother’s mark,” she whispered, “it bonded us and my other brother together. My brother wears the same mark, and he’s now mated… it won’t interfere,” I looked back up into her eyes and it hit me. I was too distracted by my adoration of her, too lost in her absolute beauty, too busy trying to breathe in her presence that I missed what she was afraid of showing me. She’s an Heir. Facts started to assault my thoughts, coming in rapid-fire as I pieced everything together about what S

LINDEN Ace was growling in my head, and as the light filtered through my eyelids... I wish it didn’t. I can’t be alive without her. I don’t want to be. I can’t survive this. My body moves on its own accord, a sudden surge in my movements causing me to go off the bed, getting tangled up in a number of tubes that are now pulling at my skin as the coolness of the hard tile flooring reminds me that I'm really here. “Thank fuck,” Nixon’s voice reached me just as he righted me and his forehead was against mine. “I want to see Marcy’s body,” I snapped out, the warmth from him doing nothing to su

LINDEN “Of course, our resident volcano isn’t here to help me with this,” Nixon continued, looking between me and Marcy, “so you’re stuck with how I explain this. How about you try to contain your bullshit remarks until I’m done?” *...be kind to her no matter what…* Right. Easier said than done, Alice. She knew this is how I would react, and yet she still fucking left. She always fucking leaves… and now this? *She’s still your mate.* How? How is a blood-sucking Vamp still my mate? “Spit it out then,” I growled, wanting to leave this fucking cell as fast as possible. I can’t stand looking at her, wearing Marcy’s looks, wearing her expressions, and pulling at my heartstri

ALICE 'You can’t kill the Lord’s without killing me... Bash has been my mate, our mate, for over a century.' Rian's words echoed in my head, like a stun grenade that disabled my brain from any logic or reality filtering in. Did he just say what I think he said? My dirty fantasy coming to fruition and my hell on Earth realized all at the same time? I was back in Rian's arms, begging Onyx to take me back, begging Onyx to take my side here and let us just finish this once and for all, but Nixon denying me access to him seemed to force my world to settle in around me. The warmth of his forehead making me instantly regret leaving the pack, leaving Linden. '...Killing your mate is a sure way to death town... it's time to do what feels right...'
