Alisha's POV Lucien reached out for my hand, his arm extended and his palm up as he waited for me to take it."Let's go ma ange (my angel) " His dark sable eyes peering into mine , the deep look spoke volumes to my heart. I placed my hand in his and the instant warmth of the contact was like a direct link to my heart (and other places further south on me). What can I say , this man just lights a fire in my body with minimal contact. Must be something to do with the whole mate bond thing and I can't say I don't enjoy that part of it. It's very intense when it happens."I'm going to have to learn French aren't I ?" I smile at him "Every time you speak it I feel like l'm missing something important. " His voice is soft and seductive to my ears. He just gives me that pantie melting look , the same one he gave me the first day we met. "I would be honored to teach you mon amour (my love)" As he pulls gently on my hand encouraging me to my feet. I stand beside him now and we prepare to h

Alisha's POVI just stood inside that building, hiding from the world outside and wondering how my life ended up here like this. I had mixed feelings about Alvin before and even now it wasn't any clearer. I did know we would never see each other again and that chapter in my life was done. There was a big empty hole in my heart from losing him that much I knew. He was a good friend to me and I cared about him. I didn't love him like he did me, but I didn't want to hurt him either. I've never had to deal with so much in my old closed world and now Bam it hits me hard again upside my head. Ever since my eyes were opened to the supernatural world nothing has gone right. Now more than ever I wish I was back home in my parents home the innocent little girl being watched over and cared for, ignorant of the world hidden around me. The only worry I had was what to wear to school the next day and having to make sure my homework was done. It was so simple then and none of this adult supernatura

Alisha's POV I've been sitting in this hard ass chair listening for the last hour as Lucien and my dad kept pounding into my head all the reasons leaving for back home was really a bad idea. How many times do they think repeating the same thing over and over again is going to help no matter how they kept rewording it. First off , I got it the first time but try telling that to any male who thinks it too complicated a situation for a female brain to understand. I can understand why Lucien is doing it because he doesn't know shit about me really but my dad that's another story. He knows how quick I understand things , he's must really be stressing over it is the only reason I can think of.I've sat here giving them both the best resting bitch face I have and yet the talk is still going on about all of the dangers. OK, I'm done here."You can both just stop now , I get it OK , I understood it the first ten times you went over it but you both just kept on and on. I was waiting for you bo

Alisha's POV I sobbed like a three year old baby, all snot nosed and blubbering as I let it all out. My mom being here was just the trigger to release all my emotions. She didn't say another word , part of me knew my parents were mind linking as she held me tight against her body. I'm sure Dad relayed the basics going on with me. He had told me he didn't tell her everything because he didn't want her to worry being so far away. I'm sure Mom will lecture him later for that, she isn't one who likes being left out of the loop. Right now all that matter to me was both of my parents were here by my side. I needed to feel that love from them because I was feeling pretty unlovable at his point. It was my fault and there was no one else to lay the blame on. I had accepted that fact but it still hurt deep inside of me. I am so fucked up and that made me cry even harder. I'm not sure how long we were outside , it may have been only minutes I had no conception of time. As I started to settle d

Alisha's POV Being the good daughter I am, at least most of the time, I did as I was told sort of. I really just wanted to hide my head under the covers and wish this whole mess away, but that wasn't going to happen. The "rest" I was ordered to do ended up me just lying on the bed staring at the ceiling contemplating my life's choices up to this point again. Something that I have been doing a lot recently, still no magic answer was found as to the why me question. My pity party ended when a soft knock sounded on my locked door. "Time to get up sweetie, I will be back in an hour to help do your hair. I have the cutest outfit for you to wear too." I could tell she was excited and I half wondered what kind of cute outfit she had picked out. Her definition of cute and mine were totally on opposite sides of the country. I chuckled to myself as I thought of some of the outfits my sister and I were forced to wear growing up. I have never been the frilly girl but knew how to put an outfit t
