40: Apologies
Jarren's POV
I finally decided I could go back to the house after hours of calming down and feeding some. I walked through the front door, and everybody was in the living room—everybody except the person I wanted to see.
"Umm…hey man. Can we talk?" Aaden asked, wasting no time. I looked at him like he was stupid and then headed into the kitchen.
I leaned up against the counter. "Talk," I told him.
"I'm sorry, man. I was just mad that Scarlett kissed you. She's not supposed to want anyone else but me when I'm around, and it pissed me off that she wanted to kiss you. I know that what I did was childish in the moment, and I shouldn't have let it get to me, but I did."

Bitten 41: Something's Outside
Jillie's POV I was pulled out of my sleep by the feeling that someone was watching me. I sat up in bed and looked around the room. My eyes shot to the corner when I thought I saw something move. I switched on the bedside lamp, but there was nothing there. I shivered, and my eyes went to the window. It was open, and the curtains were blowing in the breeze. Then I saw something blur across the window. It was so fast that I couldn't make out if it were a person or just the shadow from a tree outside."Jarren," I whispered, shaking him."What's wrong?" he asked, eyes still closed."There's something outside the house.""Yeah, trees," he said, trying to pull me back down.I rolled my eyes because I knew he wasn't really hearing me. "No, Jarren, I saw something move.""There is nothing out-" He cut off mid-sentence and sat up, barring his fangs. He looked around the room and then at the window. He got out of bed and walked over to it. I heard a low growl esca
Bitten 42: Walked Away
Jillie's POV“So?” I asked them not wasting any time.“Nothing,” Jarren said.I looked him over, and his shirt was torn like the others. “Why do you look so beat up if it was nothing?”“We ran into some Trolls,” Garret informed me.“Trolls.”“Yea, you know, small-”“I know what Trolls are,” I said, cutting Rian off. “They’re usually just meddlesome.”“Exactly,” Mason said. “They thought it would be funny to keep setting up their stupid little traps.”“We’re all torn up because the females thought it would be funny to throw themselves at us,” Garret spoke, rolling his eyes. I fell out laughing. I couldn’t help it. I know they were all looking at me like I was crazy, but at the moment, I didn’t
Bitten 43: I Want to Try
Jarren’s POV I was pissed. Why was she so insistent on putting herself in danger? I couldn’t even believe she’d think of something like that. There was no way in hell that I was going to bite her. I’d done that once, and I hated myself. Why the hell would she think that I’d do it again? I bent over the counter—elbows on top of it, with my face in my hands. I took deep breaths calming myself. Here I was, being mad at her for thinking something so stupid, and I should have been angry at myself as well. I’d walked away from her again. Once I calmed down, which took a few minutes, I opened the bathroom door. She was lying in bed with her back to me. I walked over and slid into bed slowly. I put my hand o
Bitten 44: A Wendigo
Jarren's POV“Jarren.” I turned and saw my grandmother. Walking over to her, I looked around. I hadn’t been here before. Nothing looked familiar. Everything was a shade of calming blue.“New place?” I asked.“Well, I have to keep it interesting.” She responded. I nodded. “Your father told me you needed to speak with me.”“I do, but not here,” I said, gesturing to the dream surroundings.“Then when? He said it was important.”
Bitten 45: Shopping Spree
Jarren's POVAfter we finished eating, we went into the living room to watch a movie. The girls decided on ‘Alice in Wonderland.’ We sat there and watched the movie. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. It was actually pretty good.“Now what?” Kaileeh asked after the movie was over.“Let’s go shopping,” Sage suggested.“You want to go back toward home to go shopping?” Rian asked with a raised eyebrow.“Nope. The other way,” she told him.“The closest town that way is over four hours,” Garret informed her.“The closest hum
Bitten 46: Unpleasant Encounter
Jillie’s POV We walked into the store, leaving the boys outside. We followed Kaileeh over to the corsets. She picked up a red one and held it up.“This is cute.”“That is ugly,” I told her. It really was hideous. It was red with lime-green stripes. What person in their right mind would like that, but then again, this was Kaileeh, and anything that resembled Christmas, no matter the time of year, appealed to her.“Why would you need that anyway?” I asked her.
Bitten 47: Vampire Princes
Jarren’s POV When we got back to the house, Jillie and I carried her bags into the room. I was still pissed. I dropped the sacks on the bed and walked over to the closet. I took a package of blood out of the refrigerator and poured it into a cup. I put it in the microwave and started it. Once it stopped, I took the cup out and downed it.“Better?” Jillie asked.“Honestly? Not really. I’m still ticked.”“It’s okay.”“No, it’s not,” I told her.“Alright,” she said, walking over to the bed. “How am I going to get all of this in my suitcase?” she asked. I knew she was trying to change the subject.“Pick the things you really want to take back with you and hang the others in the closet,” I told her.“You make it sound like we’ll be coming here often.”“If that’s what you want.” She smiled before taking clothes out of the bags. “Are you hungry?”“A little.” She responded.I walked over and kissed her forehead. “I think I’ll get Garret, and we’ll cook dinner.” She nodded befo
Bitten 48: Bubble Baths & Massages
Jillie’s POV I watched as Jarren got up and made his way down the hall. I could tell he was still a little upset about what happened earlier today. I’d have to talk to him tonight about it. It really wasn’t a big deal, even though she pissed me off. His defending me made him look like the bad guy, and that’s something I never wanted. I turned my attention back to the game, and it was my turn. I only had about seven cards in my hand, and if I played them just right, I’d have one left after this turn. I lay down the three skips, so it was my turn again. I then lay down the three reverse, so now it was going the other way, and it was Kaileeh’s turn.
