I was wearing the black button down shirt I’d nabbed from Dmitri’s closet before I left his empty room, pulled over a silver colored satin tank, and a pair of white jeggings. After I put up my hair in a high pony tail, I put on the necklace Sophie had given me and the cuff he’d sent over. She made a face that told me she didn’t like this outfit as much as my others, until I shrugged and let his shirt slip to hang off a shoulder, making it very clear that I was not wearing a bra. It was also the only way to see that I was wearing the cuff on my arm. “Can we skip wolf lessons today?” she frowned, trying not to giggle at the name I’d given our cram sessions, “I know that there is a lot for me to learn, but I think I just need a breather today.” Mo
I never should have let myself believe that any of this was going to work out the way I wanted. It felt like the ground had opened up beneath me and swallowed me up so that I couldn’t see anymore, or even breathe enough to catch my breath and scream. Nothing that happened the last few weeks meant a damn thing now. I read through the file, again just to be sure. I knew I was right to despise them. I’d always thought they were opportunistic bottom feeders, but this… this was beyond anything I could have imagined anyone capable of. Not only could they have killed her, but I’d almost died twice, and so had an innocent wolf. She could’ve been a walking death sentence to everyone around her when she first got here. Worse than that was the lie that started all of this and ripped everything good in my life away from me now. They couldn’t be brought back into custody fast enough for me or my wolf. We were going to kill them. It was just a matter of when and how
It felt like I was yanked under water and held there until my lungs were burning to take in a new breath. I didn’t know this place, some strange black void that echoed the sound of my own breath back to me. ‘You shouldn’t be here!’ I could feel my entire body start to shake as my eyes focused on the black wolf and the man beside him. “Fuck You!” I shouted, making his head snap up to look at me. The wolf beside him sighed heavily. I’d been fully awake and still somehow ended up being pulled into a dream with him. “How are you here?” Dmitri genu
I was relieved to see Blake and not Nathan or Dmitri sitting there watching me sleep. He gave me a cheeky grin when I got dizzy from sitting up too fast, and he laughed when I stuck my tongue out at him. “So, how much trouble am I in this time?” I tried to smile, but I knew I wasn’t going to like the answer. “I think you’ll have to define ‘trouble’ before I can answer that,” it had to be a good sign that he was still smiling and sounded a little jovial. “Did mom and dad ground me to this room? This suite? The house? Or are they packing me up and shipping me off to boarding school in hopes that I’ll change my wicked ways and be the good girl they raised me to be?” his good mood was contagious and I couldn’t help but be a little over dramatic. “I don’t think you’re anymore grounded than you were before,” he grinned, “but I don’t know if that is because of interpack politics or because they don’t think they can do more than observe rather
Everything about this just felt wrong. The meadow was the same. The trees surrounding the open space in the forest were the same. Even the full moon shining in the night sky was the same. But it was all so very wrong at the same time. Everything was deathly still and deafeningly silent. Even the sea of stars above refused to blink. A sense of dread was churning in my stomach as I turned in slow circles where I stood. I could feel that there was something or someone out there, but I couldn’t see anything but grass and trees around me. If this was a dream, his dream, where was he? Every dream we’d shared, he’d always been right there, either beside me or within eyesight. Why would he dream about me standing alone? The one other time I’d been pulled alone to this place, I coul
I’d started to think that he wasn’t going to show his face at all. Sophie’s face lit up like a kid on Christmas morning when he stepped through her doors. “Dimi?” her chair fell back on the floor, she stood up so fast. I couldn’t help but smile, watching her run across the room to tackle him. “I thought you said you couldn’t…” He cut her off, “Someone helped me free up just enough time to visit with you for a little while before I have to get back to work.” He gave her a hug, looking at me over the top of her head. She kept an arm around his waist as he walked her back to the table, as if she was afraid to let him go. He picked her chair up for her, pushing it in as she sat down. “Good morning Selene,” he didn&rsq
I knew this place. It was the void that had swallowed me up the last few nights in my nightmares. Had I been dreaming about my death? I didn’t feel the same sense of panic and dread that had me gasping for air when I woke up. This was peaceful, and serene; who would have thought that dying could be so comforting? ‘Has this life been so difficult that we welcome the prospect of death?’ a soft feminine voice mused. “I couldn’t take the pain anymore,” I answered back, my voice sounded meek and small in this endless void. Melodic laughter reverberated around me, &l
The goddess wearing my face looked at each of the twin as if she was trying to determine each of their worth, ‘Even after all they’ve suffered us to endure?’ She shrugged nonchalantly, the movement looking strangely elegant on her. ‘We cannot just create a mate for each of them out of thin air, not unless they’d like to wait a few decades.’ “What about all of the female shifters, they don’t have mates, can’t we just…” I waved my hands around like I was pairing them up with new mates. She laughed softly, ‘Of course they have mates,’ she patted me on the head, like a small child. ‘
