~Alaya
I'm not really sure how I should react to this strangers statement. He knows me?
If he hadn't spoken, I would have assumed he was an Alpha of some Pack I have never come across. He has the stature of one; the looks. Yet when I look at him, I see something dark and sinister, something that I can't begin to explain. When I look into those brilliant blue eyes, I see a hint of a look of 'you have no idea what my secret is.'
Reminds me of Asher.
"I'm sorry, but how do you know me, exactly?" I ask warily. A brief shudder of terrors tremors through my body. What if he knows about the entire plan Asher and I have fabricated? If so, then we are done for.
"Oh, sorry...I'm a friend of Sinful's," he explains, and I feel comfortable enough the exhale the tense air I was holding in. "He mentioned you to me. He's very fond of you."

~AlayaI woke as if I had been sleeping for twelve hours sleep. Refreshed and content.My body has silken sheets draped over it, as I lay comfortably in bed. As my eyes flutter open, I notice absolutely nothing familiar about the room. Then everything comes back to me like a slap in the face.My last memories lay in the eyes of Cyprian, the stranger. He had convinced me he knew Sinful, which may still be true, since apparently they are both as sinister as each other. He kidnapped me. He wrapped his hands around my neck. He had given me a look that should be reserved for some of most wicked people on this earth.Now I'm here, in a fully furnished room that is nicer than my one back home. It's even nicer than my one back in Sinful's territory. And that's say

~AlayaThe feeling of being knocked out by sleep is all too prevalent as I wake. In my my aching head. In my drowsy, lagging eyelids. Did I get hit by a truck?Memories from last night juggle between reality and dreamland. As I force my body into sitting position, the silky sheets slipping down to my hips, I attempt to decipher the unfamiliar language that is what happened last night. Whenever I attempt to brush away at the cloud that shrouds it, I'm only consumed in it once again.My available memories lead me to a point of being latched in the glacial eyes of Shanae. She had drugged me. The orange juice that has left a bitter taste on the back of my tongue is evidence to that.Now it's an unfathomable time of the day, and I've missed who knows what.

~Alaya"Drink?"My gaze stalks after Sinful, careful of every move he makes. I'm waiting for him to bring that knife out again so I have a reason to flee from him. I simply sit in a chair in front of him, my back pin straight, my knee folded over my thigh."I'm fine," I murmur. He doesn't get one for himself, either."I'm sorry you had to witness that, today," he says gently, his tone like silken honey, however, every hint of it reminds me of the state of Cyprian when the immortal was done with him. "But it was necessary."Somehow I doubt that. I may only know Cyprian for his kidnapping and trickery, but Sinful's threats meant something else. For talking to me? For touching me? The thought of it has made me sick to my stomach ever sinc

~Alaya Blissful softness welcomed me into consciousness.Blearily, I open my eyes, slightly blinded by the gentle morning light beckoned in by the undrawn curtains. The room I'm in is only slightly familiar, until my eyes land on the classic piano to the side of the space. I suddenly know exactly where I am.Sinful's room.Everything comes back to me in a wave, drenching me in a variety of emotions. My memories from last night involved Sinful, and Sinful only. I remember his eyes, so hazel and beautiful, and his touch. Especially his touch. And after everything that happened, almost every inch of my body is left with a blissful ache. But it's missing something. He's not my mate...
Asher 32
~AlayaMy emotions are all over the place, as I follow Sinful down the hallway.What if I don't really want to get my memories back like this? What if Shanae said something to me that will completely change my life, or that is a complete lie? All these questions fight to find place in my mind. No, I need to find out what happened that night, that was so important for her to take my memories away with that stupid drink.Sinful doesn't give any information away, as he motions for me to sit down. We are in his quarters again, safely away from a brooding Asher, who is doing who knows what right now."Are you sure you want this memory back?" He asks, misty grey eyes slightly wary.

~AlayaSinful was watching me carefully for a reaction, which I fight to keep hidden.This is meant to be the man that left me at the alter. He hurt me. Apparently. The feeling of surprise is one I let Sinful see, but the utter confusion, I keep to myself. He has to believe Aspen is the man that left me at the alter, even if I hadn't had this part of the plan explained to me. Another reason I need to strangle my mate.An idea sparks into my mind at that moment. An act of confirmation, to perhaps sell the story. But also, the urge to do this itches at my fingertips.I walk straight up to Aspen and slap him across the face.Everyone in the room is clearly stunned. Aspen clenches his jaw, t

~AlayaHe knew. He knows.A part of me can't even react. His lips are clearly pressed against mine, his hands on my face, the sparks there...But my body is completely frozen. My entire body is split in half with reasoning. One part of me is disgusted that this man is kissing me, after everything that has happened between us.Then there's the other part of me. The part that controls my body, that reacts to the mate bond that has been drilled into our primal nature comes out, and decides to completely dissolve the inch of my sense of reasoning."I hate you," I murmur against his lips, however, there is no point stopping myself, as I wrap my arms around his neck, kissing him back with as much vigor as I could p
Asher 35
~SinfulI watch him carefully, for a specific reaction.He's been coy with me. Careful, in fact. I've been waiting for him to start questioning me about Alaya. About what we did that night. Instead, all he has been doing is brooding, and now that this has happened, I'm not anticipating any further reaction. My favourite side of Asher is about to come out.The dark side.We assume Alaya and Aspen left together this morning. I don't believe there is an inch of my property Asher hasn't scoured. It's interesting watching his reaction to this. He pretended not to care about her, as if I don't know him and how he works. This will drive him insane, which is exactly why I am letting him take care of the issue.
