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

ELIRAI'm moving before I can stop myself. My hands fist in her hair and I pull her off the floor, fueled by an adrenaline that I can't explain—nor care to."How dare you?" I scream, my voice catching on a sob. "You've been..."The words fail me, and so do my legs. I fall to the floor as she shoves
ELIRA I can feel it all. The pain, the hollowness, the confusion. Everything is mixing violently inside me and making rational thought a luxury I can’t afford. A groan falls past my lips as my eyes drift open. My body feels nothing like I've ever felt before—not even the pain that came when Marge
KAEL Red isn’t the only thing I see. I see black too. His blood, and then the dark grave where his rotten corpse would be placed. “You touched something that belongs to me.” My voice is low and dripping with menace, but if Jake hears the venom in them, he doesn’t act like it. The arrogant son of

A scream tears past my throat, tears already making their languid descent down my face.Getting punished every day has become the norm for me.
