Chapter 10 - ComplicationPaige"I'm still upset with you, but I can't go another day without hanging out, so here I am." Colette paused, her nose wrinkling as she looked from me to my messy bed. "Did you have a male in here last night? Goddess above, I could have totally walked in on you having sex." Colette gasped.This is what woke me up at the ass crack of dawn on a Saturday morning. Colette barged into my room a few days after the whole dinner disaster, going off on an entire rant. Not that I got much sleep anyway. My mind still reeled with whatever happened with Thomas. I still think it was some kind of form of delirium because if Thomas had actually trapped me against my bedroom door and told me how he wanted to fuck me, then I don't think I could ever look at my best friend ever again. "...Zane never would have let them live. I will knock next time, promise. So how is life? What are you doing today? Anything exciting because I was...you okay?" Collette's question pulled me

Chapter 12 - Annoyance Paige "I can't believe this shit." I hissed, throwing another punch at the punching bag. Sweat had my shirt sticking to me like a second skin. I don't know how much time had passed, but since our unpleasant meeting with Balor and the giant bomb he dropped. I had spent my time in here beating the shit out of this punching bag. If it were a person, they'd be on the floor, nothing but an unconscious, bloodied body. Anger still burned in my veins as I took another swing and then another. My knuckles now split from the continuous brutality despite wrapping them. "Stupid. Fucking. Fae. Stupid. Alpha assholes." I panted with each hit. I didn't have to look up to know that Zane was watching me, waiting for me to acknowledge or challenge him. If he was anyone else I would have, but he was the last person I wanted to see right now. Well, maybe second to last, Thomas would always hold first place. Zane had been standing in the gym entrance for the last fifteen m

Chapter 14 - CowardPaige "We need to talk."Really?I couldn't think of something else to say after spending my entire day hunting the asshole down. Goddess above I was pathetic. I took a deep breath forcing myself to calm down. I was here for my best friend. The fact that I walked into the bar just to find Thomas flirting with some human sleazeball had only enraged me because while he was here getting his dick wet his sister was at home withering away with worry. 'Right, keep telling yourself that.' Odessa scoffed rolling her eyes. She really needed to fuck off."How did you find me?" Thomas's voice had my heart racing in my chest and my hair standing on end. The deep vibration of his voice always caught me off guard no matter how in the moment I was. I whirled around, a single brow arched and my lips pursed, trying my best to seem unphased by his presence. I could have sworn the bastard's lip twitched beneath that percent scowl he always wore. "You did a shit job at covering y

Chapter 16 - Treading WaterPaige "My grandson gave the basics but I would like to hear from you why you're here, Thomas." Silas wasted no time getting down to business, like his grandson I got the feeling he didn't take kindly to slackers or being given the runaround."I'm here because your grandson promised to help take care of my wolf after making a deal with my sister. But he failed to hold his end of the deal and is using this as a poor attempt to make up for it." Thomas growled. I pretended not to notice his obvious tension and busied myself with taking in our surroundings instead of witnessing the shitshow that was most likely about to take place since Thomas insisted on insulting Balor in front of his grandfather.The walls were lined with books and just like the entranceway, pictures filled his walls. But it was the picture on his desk that grabbed my attention the most. It was a younger version of Silas smiling with a heavily pregnant female. She was Fae by the looks of he
