LOGINKAELMy entire life force cripples to a stop at the same time that my mate does. My heart is thrashing around in my chest at the sight of her weak form, her skin a very scary shade of pale under the unwavering moonlight.It takes all of the patience that I don't have to watch and wait as she battles against the vampire in front of her.I felt it the moment she took over, the moment she slipped past her own walls and dominated his mind, but nothing could've prepared me for the swell of pride in my chest as his head explodes, brain matter, blood, and bone bits slapping the already grimy walls and concrete floor.She slumps, but before her body touches the ground, I'm there. My arms sweep around her, wrapping delicately around her frame like I'm scared she'd break.Maybe I am. Maybe the wildness in my chest is courtesy of my own fear. A fear that is neither familiar nor faint, the thought in my head tears a violent growl from my throat.What if she dies?She'd better not. I'd uproot the

KAELNeil's words stay with me the whole drive home, and a thought sings in the back of my head as I continue to stew over it.Could he be right? Was this my one chance to actually redeem myself from the shackles that have bound me for a whole lifetime?I shake my head, a mirthless laugh falling past my lips as I remember just what curse I carry. "If you're so certain that she can't help, why did you run all the way to your company tonight?" Rico's agitated voice carries over my thoughts, inputting itself firmly in the center of my mind."Not the time, Rico," I snap. I don't want to admit that he's right. I'm not so sure that he's entirely right, anyway. Her smell still lingers on my skin, eating deep into the flesh underneath and soaking itself into the very essence of my being.I want her. I've wanted her for a long time, and I still have no idea how I've managed to stop myself from taking what I want.Maybe it's the fact that I don't want to take her body when I have no certaint

ELIRA"Ouuu, you look so good in this," Brie coos, her face splitting on a huge grin as she admires me.Heat pulls at me, making my cheeks burn red. "You think? I think it looks a bit much."Her smile falls immediately, replaced by an annoyance that makes me regret instantly the words that just lef
KAEL"If you really think she hates you, then you're dumber than I thought."Those words are still echoing in my mind, even as I struggle to focus on something else. I groan aloud, shutting the laptop in front of me with a harder push than necessary. "Alpha?" Aaron draws my attention back to the f
ELIRA"I didn't think you were going to show," Alpha Jake commented as soon as I walked onto the deck.He's wearing a dark blue button-down rolled up at the sleeves, black slacks that hugged his long legs, and white skate sneakers that takes the outfit from overly serious to sexy casual.I take him
KAELI have no idea how long I stay there, the hard concrete underneath my back as I twitch with the force of madness that is trying to consume me, but eventually the edges of my vision start to clear.Dots still line my vision, but at least I now have control—hazy vision and all.Rising off the gr
