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.

ELIRABlack dots danced along the edges of my vision as the sounds around me became distant, a faint echo humming from the background.My breathing was labored, sweat dancing down my spine. I held onto the pole in front of me, shimmying my waist slowly even as I battled to get the fever under contr
KAELThere's a rush of fire beneath my skin, searing a heated path through my blood and leaving me on the verge of combustion.I drag in a deep breath, the scent of her arousal so potent it erodes whatever calm I was aiming for.Turning away from her sharply, my shoes click against the stone floor
ELIRAI scream at the top of my lungs as Mom is dragged out of the room by the chains that hold her. My throat feels raw, my voice cracking with emotions that threaten to rip me to shreds.Some guards wrap their arms around mine and lift me off the floor with one hard jerk. “Let me go!“ I yell, st
ELIRAThe bags in my hands tumble to the floor in slow motion, their content spilling over the tarred ground and making a mess.I can't think. I can't breathe. I can't even make sense of the chaos that is playing out before me.I rush forward on shaky legs, my eyes filling with tears and my head po
