Ajay decides to find him but is distracted by the mysterious, handsome partier named Jude. Jude had been watching Ajay all night. Unable to find Aaron, Jude suggests they go somewhere quieter, leading her to the guesthouse. Upon entering, they hear voices. Unfortunately, it's Aaron making out with another woman. As a result, Ajay takes vengeance and sleeps with Jude in the bedroom down the hall. Ajay's rendevous causes her and Aaron to break up. And their weekend trip is now a two-week vacation because Tyler caused them to miss their ferry home. With a few dollars in her pocket and nowhere to stay, Ajay asks Jude to help, but Jude has turned nasty and unwilling to accommodate her. However, seeing his cousin Micah's attraction to her, Jude decides to help out of jealousy. Although Jude's family owns the island and he lives alone in a lavish mansion on a hill, he makes Ajay stay fifteen miles away with his family in their Villa. Ajay believes Jude is doing this because he doesn't like her, but her thoughts are the furthest thing from his truth. After Ajay meets Jude, in a matter of minutes, things are not what they seem, and Jude is not who or what he appears to be. Explore Ajay's journey with Jude from lust to love, passion to hate, and mystery to the truth that hides within The Villa.
View MoreChiara's lifeless body dangles in my arms as I sprint to Bruce's abandoned cabin. Critters scurried when I opened the door and dropped Chiara onto the floor. Deena's attempt to take her power failed.Deena's so-called spell left her for dead. I doubt Deena even knows she murdered her. But now I'm wondering if Deena is truly an Ancient.Bruce left this cabin intact, and the bedroom closets were filled with clothes. Dressed in a tee and shorts, I sit beside Chiara's body, contemplating what to do. My pack will never believe there was nothing I could do to save her. Wolf packs are loyal. They don't comprehend betrayal. Nor will they understand how their Alpha could allow Chiara to die. It will also appear as if Deena has more power than I do.Speaking of loyalty, I wonder if Melanie reached Ellie yet. Ajay's unwillingness to convince Ellie to join us is disheartening. I love Ajay, but something's not right with her. Her love and devotion to me is true, but she's too protective of outsid
Abruptly, I open my eyes and stare at the ceiling. The moonlight gleams through my bedroom window, and I sit up. Ajay's lying next to me, sound asleep. I ease out of bed and walk to Andrew's room. He's comatose, so I look in Wilson's room, and he's swaddled in his sheets. Exiting through the kitchen doors, I walk towards the main road. Once there, I head towards the villa. I'm in the middle of the road when a black vortex, reaching the sky, opens in front of me. It's hypnotizing as I enter it. The darkness is so thick I can touch it. After a minute of walking in sheer blackness, I end at the cliff behind the villa, and Ajay's there. She's in a wedding dress, weeping. "Ajay," I call as I approach her. Startled, she jumps up and starts looking all around. I say, "I'm right here, baby."Panicky, she steps too close to the cliff and slips off. Without hesitation, I leap with her. As we're falling, she turns into a gigantic mermaid, covering a vast expanse of the ocean. Before I land,
My friend Vic answers, "Sam was here but was denied entrance. I guess he thought his charm would grant him access."I'm permitted to leave after a few hours. It's unreal how I'm healing so quickly. We have three days left before we go, but I'm having nightmares every night. Avoiding that bar like the plague, Vic and I ride into town.There's a festival celebrating The Blood Moon. The civilians are dressed in wolf costumes or masks. Vic's watching me when I say, "You think this is a coincidence?"Vic frowns, "Never. Let's head back before it's dark."Just before we get to our jeep, I see a gun shop. We enter, and an older woman is working the counter. She greets, "Welcome. How may I help you?"I ask, "Do you sell silver bullets?""I do, but they're rare and somewhat costly. How many do you want?""How much are 10?""1K.""Wow. Give me three.""How about you pay 500?""Gimme a sec."I text Bruce: Hey, big bro. I need $500. It's an emergency.Bruce: What?Zee: I think I got attacked by s
It's a hot, muggy day in August. I'm sitting at a bar on the beach when an older gentleman asks, "Is this stool taken?"Tipsy, I shake my head no. He sits and tells the bartender, "Cachaca, please. And another of whatever he's drinking on me," the older gentleman winks.Side-eyeing him, I sigh, "Thanks."Hand extended, he greets, "Hi, I'm Samuel, and you are?""Zee. Zee Lowry.""Pleased to meet you, uh, Corporal?"I huff, "Private First Class.""Oh, you're newly enlisted?" asks Samuel."I'm not trying to be rude, but I just want to chill. I appreciate the drink, but I don't need a conversation. Excuse me."Lifting his drink, he toasts it to me, saying, "Sorry to bother you, Private Lowry. Enjoy your evening."The following evening, my buddies and I return to that bar. We're sharing sex stories and being guys when I hear, "Good evening, Private Lowry."Glancing back, I beheld a very dapper Samuel. Twisting my face at my boys, I merely turn my head, saying, "Hey, Samuel."I introduce my
To stop Chris's screaming, I chomp off his head. Soon, I heard a woman say, "It was coming from this area."His head is in my mouth. I open it as wide as it goes and swallow his head whole. It's lodged in my throat, so I gag until it comes out. It thumps when it hits the ground, and the male voice asks, "Did you hear that? Or was that thunder?"Luckily, they walk the opposite way. Carefully, I drag Chris further into the trees and start eating him to get rid of his body. The more I chew, the more delight I experience, but my heart hardens.It's a strange but real change that my soul can feel. It's as if the blood pumping through my heart is turning to ice. Cold and prickly. As I'm chewing, a flashlight lands on me. Both their eyes are bulging out of their sockets. Too horrified to make a sound, tears stream down the woman's face as she and the man ever so slowly back away. Flesh between my teeth, I growl, and they take off running. Once Chris is consumed, I return to my rental, pop th
My dad begs, "Chris, please don't do anything. I know you've grown to care for Ajay, but her boyfriend is extremely dangerous.""It's her ex-boyfriend, Dad. You've taught me everything you know about combat. Grandad and my uncle fought in wars. You fought crime and served our government, but I can't handle one man?""Of course you can, but Jude is different.""You never have any confidence in me. I've excelled in everything, yet I'm never good enough to accomplish crap for you!""Christopher Elom Pratt! How dare you disrespect your father under his roof!"My dad grabs my mom's waist and whispers, "It's okay, Lily. I got this.""Bruce, I won't have my son being with some devil you brought into our home. What were you thinking?" my mom argues."Lily, calm down," my dad tries to console her, but she's crying and speaking in tongues at this point. I go to leave, but my dad yells, "Chris, stay put! Do you see how upset your mother is? This is not a game. You're in way over your head when i
Rolling to his back, he looks away, answering, "I think so."Immediately, I hopped out of bed and went to the kitchen. Andrew and Wilson were conversing. Wilson smiled, seeing me. Andrew sighed, "I'm sorry about last night, Ajay. Wilson told me what you guys heard.""What did she hear?" Jude enters, grabbing my waist.Gently pulling away, I go to the coffee maker. Feeling my tears welling up, I glance at Jude and then hang my head. Andrew asks, "What's wrong?""Don't worry about her. Answer my question?""I've been pretending to team up with Deena like Micah. Wilson and Ajay heard me scheming, and Ajay went to tell you immediately," answered Andrew. Now facing me, he says, "I'm sorry I didn't trust you. Knowing you and Wilson were willing to take on that fight changed my perception of the both of you.""What do you mean scheming?" asks Jude.Andrew replies, "Deena took Chiara's powers during the full moon, which made us attack her. While we were changed, we sensed she wasn't one of u
Upon entering Jude's home, Andrew and Wilson are in the kitchen waiting on me. Wilson is sipping his beverage and intensely watching me. Andrew glances up, asking, "Where did you go?"Eyeing Wilson, I answer, "To the beach. I needed some air.""That was mighty brave of you, considering we have an ancient witch lurking who wants you dead.""I refuse to live in fear because Jude abandoned us," I sigh.Now, Andrew's staring at Wilson. Squinting, he asks, "What's on your mind, Wilson?"Wilson stutters, "M-Me? N-Nothing! I'm just anxious as to why Jude left us like this.""Well, I questioned Deena and Micah, and it seems he's left the island."Glaring at Andrew, I reply, "Without notifying anyone?""It's Jude, Ajay. Who can stop him?""I guess," I huff, then focus on Wilson. Momentarily, we sit dazed and in our own heads. Palms on the table, and Andrew says, "Well, I'm going to check on Chiara, then go to bed."Wilson goes to tell him she's gone. Discreetly, I shake my head to get him to
Wilson and I sneak out without telling Andrew. The closer we get to the villa, the scarier Wilson becomes. He grabs my arm, saying, "Something's so off, Ajay. You don't feel that?" "If you're asking if I'm afraid, of course I am. But we have to push through this. Chiara needs us."The villa is visible in the distance, and Wilson says, "Nope. This is wrong. Jude is right. We need to stay put until he instructs us what to do next. Suddenly, we hear talking. Crouching in the greenery, we eavesdrop. It's Micah and Andrew. Micah says, "That wasn't the plan. We have to convince the others to leave before she starts this battle with Jude."Andrew huffs, "Bro, we're in too deep now! If we turn on Deena, we'll be killed. Jude's never going to side with us! We've already betrayed his trust."Wilson and I glanced at one another, then heard Deena ask, "What are my two warriors discussing?""You lied to me, Deena," Micah answers."Oh, Micah, stop it. Jude changed you, then ripped his power out o
