ROME WILL BURN "Aaahhhh!!"When the first lash of the whip licks into my skin, the scream that leaves my mouth comes from the very tip of my toes. I can feel the when the metal tip tears into the flesh of my back, ripping it open. Tears won't stop running from my eyes. It's the pain, I don't regret my decision to defy Herberus and the glare I've sent his way makes that very clear to him."Again"The sound of the whip slices through the air once more before connecting with my back. My body arcs in response, wrists straining against the shackles, that binds my hands and feet in place. Every limb tugs, begging for release, the angry red marks the only indication that my body was caving a small section at a time to the madness it was subjected it."Leila"I don't answer him, gritting my teeth and watching as my blood fell drop by drop into the ground creating crimisom stains. "Leila!" Heberus calls more insistent this time. He wants to save face. Make it s

LOVE YOU EITHER WAY"I didn't realize you were scared"I was probably insulting his office. Okay, I was insulting his office, I doubted there was anything that Grayson was afraid of. He took his whipping like a champ while I'm still debilitated by my lashes. Almost a week ago I wouldn't have dared to say such a thing. It's a wonder what a change of environment will do. Grayson throws me an annoyed look across his shoulder, his gaze saying more than his words will, before going over to pick up Marie by the back of her dress, keeping her away from his treasured pet. "Stay away from him" He chastises the child and Marie sticks her tongue at him. "Don't blame me if he eats you" "He'll do that?" I asked appalled by his statement. "If he's annoyed enough" "Tell him not to" I demand "He doesn't listen to anything I say" "What's the point of having a pet if it doesn't listen?!" Grayson stiffens as if my words have caused him offense.

GRAYSON TRUTHS I kid you not when I say this woman was made to test every fibre of patience that courses within me. Gerzi had left when we went to the human colony, going back to the Regency to ensure everything was doing fine and I had finally managed to sever Leila from Marie. A rather dirty work I might admit, but it was for the best. I wasn't walking any further with a creature nuturing a festering resentment against me. Especially in the event that I was the one who saved it. For days now something just felt off. I couldn't place my finger on it but I knew staying around would eventually prove what it was. And here it was indeed. I was only gone for a matter of maybe half an hour when all the hairs on my skin raised in awareness. The pungent smell was every where and clouding my senses. I wasn't in the mood to go after it, espcially when I knew leaving Leila for too long meant I had more problems to deal with and it wasn't as if she wouldn't try. A part of me wanted to belie

I force myself to eat but the food is tasteless. It's tasteless because I know I'm the reason Grayson left and I'm afraid he won't return. I'm not suppose to care about hurting a werewolf's feeling, days ago I wouldn't have given a crabs ass about it. But that was days ago, things have changed alot since then. Sun finally peaks out at some point, the heavy rains ceased and when I peer outside the window, I groan at the substantial amount of water that has gathered outside. If I'm being honest, I couldn't mind settling here, I'm so tired of having to move all the time and being wounded doesn't make the adventure any feasible. But atlas I don't have a say in whatever Grayson decides, until my back heals, I can only give him grief, but that's it. I creep back to my bed, lying against it and watch the door. I listen for footsteps that don't come, neither does the door open revealing the large lug of a man that has been chasing me since time eternal.The fire before me screams for fuel as

TRUCEMy lower parts hummed with new life, electricity surging through my body, jumping from him to be and backwards everytime our skin connects. I don't know what this is between us and the delightful sensations just keep errupting over and over again. I'm still there with him physically but losing my mine, and oh my oh....My body shudders as waves after waves collide within me. Grayson sucks on my skin, finding that sensitive place at the hollow of my neck, his tongue dancing back and forth while my hand grips his shirt bundling the fabric between my fingers.My head hits the wall of the hut, feet becoming jello, but he catches me, an arm anchoring me against him while Grayson pressed into me. God I hated how full and tender my breasts felt. Every sensation, every tingle felt too surreal. Why didn't I know about any of this?"Gray..." My toes curled, core throbbed, heart accelerated and I was gasping for breath like a fish outside of water.I was going to
