Love that Kills Looking for Answers
I spent the entire day arguing with Amanda. She demanded answers, and I was forced to tell her the truth—partially. I told her that I talked with Estelle and that she was using my energy to manifest herself. I skipped the entire topic of our conversation, and I was glad that Amanda focused on the fact that our conversation happened and that it exhausted my body."Absolutely not!" she exclaimed when I told her that I wanted to spend a few more days on the island. "That Estelle could have killed you! There's no way I'm letting you stay in the only place where she can feed on your energy!"My lips stretched into a thin line. I knew the risk, but I couldn't leave this place without finding out the truth about what I was or without even trying. The problem was, telling Amanda that I wanted to chase after all-knowing ancient spirits living on this island might not have sounded like a convincing reason to stay. Fortunately, I decided to tell her that because the island was a power spot, I ha
Love that Kills Awakening
I didn't know how I got out of that cave, but suddenly I was in the middle of the forest. A single high-pitched tone rang in my ears. My legs were folding under me. Everything within me resonated. I felt my anger and sadness like physical pain, flooding my bones and muscles. I thought that I was prepared to hear the truth in all its ugliness, but I wasn't.God, I might have been in love with Ash already. I couldn't even think of what would have happened if I had confessed to him. Would he thank me for giving him my heart before taking my life? A dumb, naïve part of me still held to the tiny bit of a chance that killing me was never a part of Ash's plan, that I was never just a tool for him, that I should confront him before deciding that everything he did and said was nothing but a lie. But then wouldn't only a fool do that? Would a prey ask the predator if he was going to kill it?Whatever was happening inside me, it was getting stronger. My chest heaved and fell rapidly. I greedily
Love that Kills The New Strength
Amanda pushed me away. "Run, Nala!" she growled.I stared at the snarling wolf in front of us and his blazing-red eyes. "I'm not leaving you!" I shouted."I can handle him!" Amanda insisted, but Landon only laughed."Oh, will you now?" He looked at Amanda wide-eyed and smirked. "I don't need to shift to tear you apart, and you know that. Stop playing a hero. The outcome of this fight is already known."As soon as he said it, two more wolves jumped from the boat. Their claws were already out, and their teeth prepared to tear flesh. Landon ripped off his tank top and stood in a fighting stance. I gulped. I didn't know if Amanda was strong enough to fight them. I had never seen her fight. But even if she could handle Landon, what about the two others?Fuck.Amanda didn't wait for Landon's strike. She lunged first, swiping her claws in a few swift moves across his neck and chest. The cuts reached deep, parting the blood-soaked folds of skin and muscles. That made me think Amanda had a cha
Love that Kills Will to Live
I swallowed, staring at the dark brown-haired man in front of me. His bare, chiseled chest was covered with blood, but I doubted the blood was his… Amanda. The blood must have been hers. My stomach clenched at that thought. Had Landon killed her? Tears stung in the back of my eyes."What have you done to Amanda?" I hissed, shifting to a fighting stance.He scratched the stubble on his chin and chuckled. "I had to put her to sleep... a deep sleep, possibly eternal.""Why?" I rasped, hot tears flooding my cheeks.He shrugged. "I warned her."A dry laugh escaped my throat. "You warned her?!""Yes. She shouldn't interfere. She signed her own death sentence." A dark smile spread across his mouth. "I killed your friend. You killed two of my warriors… I am generous, so I might say that we are even.""You didn't have to kill her!" I snarled.He sighed. "She foolishly believed she could stop me. A hundred-year-old vampire against a pure-blooded five-hundred-year-old wolf… it had to end this wa
Love that Kills More Sincerity
Amanda told me about her special skills. She wasn't the strongest fighter, but she and her brother, Nicor, had unique regeneration abilities. I wish she had told me about her little secret earlier, but I was amazingly glad that she was going to be all right. I stood in awe, watching the wounds disappear from her body. She shrugged and gave me a crooked smile."Those skills saved my life more than once. Unfortunately, I'm not immune to pain, even if I can withstand more punches."I looked at the bloody puddle around her and inhaled a ragged breath. "He hurt you pretty badly, didn't he?"Amanda chuckled dryly. "Landon might have been old, but he was also stupid. All those cuts he gave me slowed my heart rate to a nearly undetectable level. Since he could no longer hear it, he figured I was dead…" Then she frowned slightly and lowered her head. "I'm sorry, Nala. I thought I could handle him, but that son of a bitch was too strong…""Yes, he was." I smiled faintly. "But it no longer matte
Love that Kills That Crack in My Heart
Calvel took my empty glass and refilled it with wine. "You'll need it," he said, handing it over to me.I didn't object. My whole body was trembling. My emotions were all over the place, and I needed anything I could use to calm down. Calvel sat in a chair in front of me, studying me as if he hoped to find out how much I already knew."Don't do that," I told him, annoyed.He leaned back and raised his brows. "Do what?""Don't try to analyze me. I'm tired of games."His lips twisted into a wry smile. "I'm not trying to play games with you."A dry chuckle escaped me. "That's funny because right now, I feel like I've been played and manipulated from the moment I met you."He frowned. "Now that's unfair. I've never tried to manipulate you into something that would harm you."I groaned in frustration. "Do you even listen to yourself?""Nala, I've been only trying to protect you," he claimed, and, surprisingly, I knew that he wasn't lying about that."How about Ash?" I asked and heard his h

"What the hell was that?!" Amanda took those words right out of my… head since I doubted that I could actually say them out loud. I was unable to say anything at all. I simply stared at Calvel as he broke our kiss, his lips curving into a satisfied smirk."Well, that felt pleasant," he all but purred, putting my cheeks on fire.My trembling hand moved to my lips, and I traced the swollen contours with my fingers as I looked into his eyes. I felt the soft tingling, and I barely resisted an urge to drag my teeth through the plush skin. I think my mind might have been in a bigger mess than when I caused the quake. His touch and scent instantly reminded me of the sex dream I had with him as the main lead…I shook my head violently, chasing away all the strange, and highly inappropriate thoughts, before forcefully shifting my eyes to the cracked walls and smashed windows. Finally, my eyes found Amanda, and my lips instantly formed an apologetic smile."I'm so incredibly sorry, Amanda," I s
Love that Kills Numb
I stared at Ash with my lips parted and heart slowly shattering. He averted his eyes from me and shifted his attention to the window. "Are you seriously going to give me that ‘I'm not capable of loving’ kind of excuse?" I all but hissed.He ground his teeth and turned his eyes back to me. His irises were burning. The fire raged inside him, but it wasn't aimed at me. Then he drew a deep breath, putting out the flames in his eyes. "I didn't say that," he said coldly.My breath caught in my throat. "Is it about me then…?" I couldn't restrain my dry chuckle. "Am I not your type, or simply not good enough?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.He cursed and dragged his fingers through his hair. "It's nothing personal. I just…" He trailed off and swallowed. "Let's say that it would have come drastically in the way of my revenge."And yet he used the word "never," referring to loving me. I sealed my lips. I didn't want to continue this conversation, afraid that it would make me feel eve
