Third Person's POV

Ryder's chest ached, and his breaths were rapid. He ducked into the alley, and once he was deep enough into the darkness and away from people, he stopped and leaned against the building.

“Fuck!” Ryder yelled as he gripped his hair and tugged on it.

A flash of light directly in front of Ryder startled him. He grabbed his chest and exhaled in relief when he saw it was just Lucian.

“Goddess, you scared me!”

Lucian stood still for a moment, a sad expression resting on his face. After a moment, he moved forward and placed his hand on Ryder's arm. Lucian then reached up and touched the mark on the Beta's neck.

“This isn't a temporary mark… This is a mating mark. Vanessa is a gift to you from Angelica,” Lucian said as he dropped his hand.

Ryder's eyes widened, and his mouth hung open.

“No! That isn't possible! Angelica would never do that!

“She did, son. She didn't want you to live alone for the rest of your life. She knows you're grieving. She knows you're hurting. Sh

Walk away like she normally would have, and she doesn't understand it. She doesn't understand why it hurts because she's never been able to be hurt before. She doesn't understand why everything in her is screaming to go to him. her whispers was trying to encourage him to answer the phone or respond

her. She doesn't understand why it's making her feel the way she's feeling and Ryder wasn't helping because he just kept pushing her away. He would have sex with her and then push her away. Instead of walking away like she usually would, the bond is forcing her toward him and not allowing her to wal

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 98 A devil in disguise

    Maverick's POVThe shower was soothing, but she was more soothing, and I couldn't wait to get back to her. I didn't spend a moment longer in there than I had to. I cleaned my body, dried myself, and pulled my boxers on as fast as I could. When I opened the door and looked into the bedroom, I was stunned by her beauty. I know she's an angel, but she looked ethereal sitting on the bed in a pale pink gown that reached mid thigh, a book in her hand, as the evening's sun shone in through the window on her.Her red hair looked as if it were on fire where the sun shone on it. Her pale, porcelain skin was flawless, and her natural, red lips looked as if she were wearing lipstick on them, even though she wasn't.Her beautiful, natural, flowery scent greeted me as soon as I stepped into the room, and it brought peace over me in an instant.Her eyes lifted from the book, and she smiled as she closed it and placed it on the nightstand. She pulled the sheets back beside her and tapped the empty s

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 96 The Gate

    Third Person's POV Maverick stood back, confused and concerned, as he watched and listened to them argue about him. He could feel Shade's concern oozing into him. He was already regretting telling Grayson and wondered what would happen now. “You don't know what I know! You didn't study them like I did. He's here now, but sooner or later the call of the gate will get to him, and just like that,” Reid said, snapping his finger. “Your new friend will be your enemy!”A wave of guilt and shame came over Maverick. His head dropped and his shoulders slumped… Could Reid be right?The gate has been calling to him, and it seems relentless. At times, it's so loud it's hard to ignore. Is that his fate? Will the gate eventually win? Does that mean he'll become something evil–something dangerous… something he's never wanted to be?Her voice pulled him from the depths that his mind was spiraling, and he looked up to find Azalea scolding everyone. “You should be ashamed of yourselves! How many tim

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 95 Family time

    Third Person's POV Sebastian knew it was pointless to remind Noah he was a Delta 3 and not an Omega. He insists that he has claimed him as one of his Omegas. As strange as it is to be called something he's not, it kind of feels good being considered one of Noah's Omegas. He's so defensive and protective of them. It's like they're his children. It's kind of nice having that Dad figure that was missing from his life. Sebastian looks up when fingers lightly press against the underside of his chin. His heart flutters when he sees Grayson leaning down. His eyes flutter closed as lips press against his. They linger for a moment before they're gone. The look in Grayson's eyes tells Sebastian that the kiss isn't over. A small rush of excitement flows through him at the thought of what the night will lead to. He blushes as he dashes into the kitchen, following the Omegas who quickly get to work, helping Aiden cook dinner. “Hi, Father,” Grayson said as he hugged his father.The vampire King

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 94

    Third Person's POVKevin was ready to rip his ears off, and Kyle wouldn't stop giggling at his silly uncle. Kevin quickly realized why Tate suggested that Noah ride with them instead of taking him back himself. Each time he glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Tate driving comfortably in silence, he was tempted to pull over and throw Noah in the car with him. Kevin drove faster than he normally did, and the packhouse came into view in record time. The car came to a sudden stop, and Noah stopped talking abruptly, causing Kevin to freeze. The Delta slowly turned and looked in the backseat. When he did, he saw Noah staring at him with a blank expression. “Thanks for the ride!” Noah suddenly said, and climbed out of the car just like that.Kyle curled forward, holding his stomach, laughing. The expression on his mate's face was priceless, and had him laughing so hard tears filled his eyes.Kevin growled and Kyle screeched as he was plucked out of his seat and pulled across the center

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 93

    Third Person's POV The Delta 1 never heard the door open. He was so focused on examining a slide and making notes that he didn't sense him approaching. The Delta sucked in a sharp breath when hands suddenly covered his eyes. “Guess who?” a delicate voice from behind asked. Kevin smiled as he reached back and grabbed Kyle's legs. The Omega giggled and pulled his hands back, allowing his mate to turn and face him. A smile stretched from ear to ear on the Omega as he climbed into Kevin's lap, straddling him as he wrapped his arms around his neck. The Omega was a breath of fresh air. His green eyes sparkled, and his chocolate-brown hair rested delicately against his creamy, pale skin. His smile was bright enough to light up a room, and his scent made it feel as if Kevin were home. “How did you get here?” Kevin asked, his hands caressing the Omega's thighs before moving to his back.“I came with Noah and Tate. They were coming to see Alpha Mike. I thought I'd hitch a ride to surprise y
