Wyatt sat the tray on my side table and furrowed his brows, sniffing the air, and then leaning down to sniff me when a snarl marred his once happy features.“You reek of vampire,” he growled. “I just had one of my dreams. You’re not going to believe this, but vampires are able to sense us in other realms. I spoke with him.” As eerie as the experience was for me; It also happened to be incredible. I had no idea about my abilities growing up, but now, they are far beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Wyatt’s eyes went wide as he stared at me with shock. “I’m sorry. What?” he spat through gritted teeth. “His name is Atlas. He said he was nearly four hundred years old. He’s not part of a clan anymore...” I was rambling off all of the information that I could remember. “What did you see in the future?” he asked, cutting me off. My heart stopped momentarily as I remembered the other details. I closed my eyes, “He had me hostage.... I’m not sure how or what he used, but he
The moment that Kiera and I were alone, I knew we needed to talk. It made me sick to think of everything that Elenore had done to her. Everything that she forced her to do. She didn’t even have to tell me why she knew where the vampire was; I could feel it. We weren’t fully mated and marked yet, but those kinds of emotions are strong. I’d kill Elenore all over again if I had the chance. Some people deserve so much more than a quick death. I closed the door to our bedroom, pacing back and forth in front of where Kiera was sitting on the bed. “I’m sorry,” she whispered softly.I stopped pacing, furrowing my eyebrows, “For what?” I stared at her in shock. She glanced up at me, her green eyes filled with emotion, “Everything,” she muttered. Her eyelids fluttered closed as a tear streaked down her face. I walked over, kneeling in front of where she was seated on the edge of the bed, “Look at me,” I whispered. She swallowed hard, opening her eyes. Even bloodshot from tears,
I hesitated a moment before heading to Kai’s office. Seeing another one of our people taken by this man infuriated me. In my heart, I knew he wouldn’t stop until he got what he wanted. Me. ‘We are strong enough, you know?’ Iris stated, and I agreed. We were. We could do this. I could tell from the moment that he’d spoken to me in my dream; he was the kind of man who didn’t take no for an answer. He also clearly didn't make baseless threats.The money was the reason he started on this mission, but showing dominance over werewolves was the reason he’d kept going. I was a bonus. I could see it in his eyes. When he smelled my scent, his eyes glowed red. Vampires signed a treaty with us long ago, and typically weren’t a problem. But over the last hundred years or so, there have been a few that have strayed from the path of peace. Atlas was most definitely one of those vampires. “What are you thinking about sweetheart?” Wyatt asked, tapping me on my shoulder. His voice st
Everyone's attention moved to Maleigha, “Pure luck,” she whispered through a frown. Great. That is just fantastic. “There are a few texts that I’ve read that explain the best approach to a beheading. Everything that I’ve read says that taking them by surprise is key and from the front, as that is where a majority of the major arteries are. If you make one false move from the back, they will know, and recover quicker than you can blink,” she explained with a shutter. “Surprise, from the front, they’re really fast. Easy enough.” The words left my lips, but I didn't feel confident. None of this sounded easy. The look of utter shock on everyone’s faces was not surprising. “Are you sure she’s not a robot or something?” Ry asked, glancing between me and everyone else. Wyatt leaned towards him, “My money is on ninja cat,” he whispered through pursed lips. “Are you two done making jokes?” Kai groaned, glaring at Wyatt. Wyatt rolled his eyes, “Never.” Kai shook his head slow
I put my block up back in Kai’s office. I didn’t want Felicity to be flooded with the fear and anxiety that I was experiencing at the thought of her going with this vampire. I made a promise to myself that if anything goes wrong, he’s mine. I will tear him apart limb by limb. “It’s time,” Felicity whispered, trying to untangle herself from my arms, but I held her tighter. I needed more time. “I’m not ready yet.” She pulled herself up towards my face, nuzzling her nose against mine, “Don’t worry, Wyatt. I plan to come home in one piece.” I felt my breath hitch. I wanted to cry. I wanted to scream. I wanted to lock her up so she couldn’t do this, but I knew she would find a way. Felicity was just that kind of person. She wouldn’t allow anyone else to suffer when she had the solution. It was something that I’d always loved about her, but right now, it was breaking my heart. “Promise me,” I whispered. She nodded, kissing me with an intensity that I’d never experienced f
My path to the cabin felt eerily familiar. I’d walked the path before, dozens of times in my head. That nightmare will forever haunt me.Glancing around, it's surreal that I died here two years ago. Not much has changed. The trees look the same. The air smells the same. The only thing that's changed is Parker won't be here to save me.I may have been granted a second chance, but you never lose the feeling of desperation that I felt so many times as that nightmare and then actually living it. Shaking off the dread that had formed in the pit of my stomach, I continued on. The trees were thick with leaves right now, almost like a blanket covering the forest. They would soon turn the beautiful colors of fall and fall off, filling the ground and opening up the sky. I hoped I’d have the chance to see that again. The more I thought about what was going to happen, the more I wondered if I was even right in the first place. Abe was never the man to get his hands dirty. I doubted that
“Felicity, it’s lovely to see you again,” Vincent’s face morphed into a sickly smile. “Wow, what a shocker,” I rolled my eyes, not the least bit surprised to see that he has been working with these assholes the entire time. Atlas chuckled behind Vincent, and his smile quickly dissipated. “What is that supposed to mean?” he questioned angrily. He thought he was going to come in here to see me shocked by his appearance, but after what happened in Blue Lake; I knew he was in on this. “Did you forget that I am a future teller?” His eyes widened for a brief moment before a mask of indifference fell into place. “Yeah, you missed that part. I’ve known you were a snake since Wyatt and I visited Blue Lake.” A snarl marred his features, “How did Parker take finding out his mate was a whore?” ‘The nerve of this man. Let me out, I think I can kill him quickly. I don’t even think the vampire would care,’ Iris growled in my head. “I wouldn’t know.” He stalked closer to me
“Ry just linked me. He said that Atlas is moving her to Portland,” Maleigha whispered, quickly covering her mouth with a shaky hand. “Shit, that was fast.” “I’ve linked the pilot to fuel up the jet. I’m sorry I can’t join you on this one,” Kai stood from his desk, coming around a patting his hand on my shoulder. “Felicity would prefer it this way. The less people involved, the better." My lips pulled into a deep frown, "She'd never forgive herself if any of you got hurt."This would be the first big threat that I’ve faced without Kai by my side. I’d like to say I wasn’t nervous, but fucking vampires.... The assholes were terrifying on a good day. I took a deep breath, glancing over to where Parker was holding Kiera. I hated how complicated things had become. Here I was, in charge of keeping two of the most important people to Parker safe, and I wasn’t entirely sure what I was even up against. “Are you ready?” I asked Kiera, who gave me a small smile and nodded. “Please b
