TERESAThe horrible image of the beasts running one towards me and the other behind me has not yet disappeared. I didn’t even know how I was still alive. Maybe the beast coming from the front took pity on me and spared me. But where was I now? Everything seemed so familiar to me. The same bedroom bathed in this warm light, the same satin bedding, the same lovely scent of tobacco and vanilla… God, the same man who saved me from drowning and gave me a job in his company then defended me on that dark alley of something or someone I didn’t know if it was real. The same man who kissed me to drive away from my fears and made me fall in love so that now he can scatter all my fantasies with his grotesque appearance. Sebastian Gallagher, the werewolf from hell. He was staying in the door frame, contemplating me. I gazed at him with fear and at the same time with caution, as I had nowhere to run in case he would attack me. I accepted my fate and resigned myself, immersing myself into the sof

TERESASo many things had happened in the last few days that I felt like I was living in a nightmare. I knew I wasn’t dreaming, but I didn’t want to embrace it as my new reality. Everything hurt me both physically and mentally.I didn’t even consider my headache now. Two days had passed since the revelations that changed my life forever. Now I was just a woman chased by beasts that God knows what they wanted from me.Today I thought a lot about Sebastian’s mother, Dorothea. The woman wanted to do good by protecting her children, but made things more difficult.For a second, I remembered my mother. Her face was so far in my mind that I could barely recognize it. Long soft hair, the smell of amber, soft eyes, a bright emerald green, just like me. All I had left of her was just her name and a gold chain with a locket.It should have been the face of my parents in it, but it was empty, incomplete, just like my soul. Jessica, the name that still gives me shivers and heals me whenever I rea

TERESAAfter Sebastian’s confession, I didn’t feel any lighter. No way! Just more terrified of what everyone threatened will happen. Demons on my trail, serums that miraculously heal, and on top of that, I remembered how on the night of the attack in the park I gained some inexplicable powers.My running faster added more mystery to all of this. I felt like I was floating, but at the same time, the adrenaline invaded my body and I knew then that nothing could hurt me. And in the middle of my thinking vortex, Sebastian popped his head into my office. “Hey, good morning. If you are not busy right now, I want to invite you to the lab. Luana will give us a demonstration. I’d like you to see how a prototype serum works on me. "As soon as I understood, I jumped out of my chair. I knew this meant he would injure himself and use the serum to see if it worked. What was on this man’s mind? Maybe the times that would follow were darker than I imagined.“You mean, like, trying it on yourself? B

TERESADamn you, Sebastian Gallagher! You turned my world upside down, and now I couldn’t think of anything logical anymore. I didn’t even know how I passed through the night, knowing that he was just next to my room.My thoughts of thousands of sins were always on alert. I imagined him in many positions, taking a shower, sleeping naked. Oh, Lord, this heat of my body that no one could extinguish it. Nobody but him… I was like an erupting volcano. It took me a few hours before I fell asleep.The next morning, I went down for breakfast. Dorothea was already at the table. But she has not started yet. She was probably waiting for me.“Good morning, Mrs. Gallagher!”My courtesy was a bit forced because I felt so close to this woman, knowing that I could discuss almost anything with her.“Good morning, dear Teresa. But please, call me Thea. Now that we no longer take formalities into account, I really want us to share a closer connection. If we think of my son’s relationship with you, this

TERESAI just couldn’t believe my ears. No one has ever told me that before and I didn’t even know how to react or even to believe it. I didn’t know how I felt about it. I just stood there listening to him declaring his love for me.Then I remembered the conversation between Erik and Sebastian, the man who now said he loved me; the man who kissed me madly and disconnected me every time from reality when he touched me.If I had the slightest hope that I could be Erik’s lost daughter and my blood was useful to him in that damn serum, then everything would change seriously.Then I would become just a tool for a goal far beyond my mortal understanding. If I really was a mortal, considering my father could be an original vampire.I wanted to slap him hard, but it completely paralyzed me upon hearing the three magic words. I wondered what was so magical about them? Coming from him, there was no charm.He said nothing more. It was like he dropped the bomb and waited to explode, not caring ab
