PENELOPE

The hall erupted in chaos.

Mics from the cameras flashed in our faces as they threw questions at us.

I felt Lorcan take my hand into his and started to turn towards him.

But he wasn't looking at me.

"Mr Duke would be able to give you more tangible information on this matter," he said to the eager paparazzi.

They instantly flocked away like hungry dogs to Duke's sides with the battalion of questions they had for him.

Lorcan looked at me then.

"Let's get out of here."

I nodded.

  • A Second Bite At The Cherry   MARRIAGE

    EIGHTPENELOPEMorning almost didn't come fast enough.Petra was whispering sweet nothings to me about Lorcan all the while I got ready.That stupid wolf was already infatuated with the handsome young man.Not her fault though.He was charming.But too bad I didn't want anything to do with romance after Duke's betrayal.Speaking of Duke, he was trending everywhere possible.A tight corner was inadequate to determine how much inconvenience he was facing.Good for him.Let him take all the heat alongside that rabid dog he had kept by his side.I wondered how Marcus would take Thalia's cheating when he heard of it.Not lying down sure enough.The drive to Lorcan's office was quiet.I parked in a spot and sat in my car for a few minutes to gather my courage.And after a little ‘pftttt’ of perfume on my wrist and neck, I eventually stepped out.Lorcan's office was situated on the thirty-second floor of the edifice.No doubt it looked exactly like the man himself with dark masonia furniture

  • A Second Bite At The Cherry   EXPOSURE

    SIXPENELOPE The instant silence following my comment was lethal in a legendary way."No?" I nodded.He chuckled softly maybe cause he probably thought I was just pulling his legs."Come on Penelope, say yes, the crowd is watching. No time for pranks."His smile irritated me.Disgusting cheat.My eyes scanned him once, twice."No," I said again, shaking my head.His smile stayed on his face.But the look in his eyes swiftly changed."You're joking right?" He tried to laugh my answer off with raised brows.I shook my head."No, I am not."My voice was firm, unmistakably serious so he didn't get the wrong idea at all.His eyes grew wide."Penelope—""Don't," I cut him off. "Don't say my name."I turned away from him to face the room so that everyone could hear me clearly. "I will not be getting married to Duke Salvatore anymore, and I will not be merging my pack with his."Someone gasped in the crowd."She's rejecting the proposal?!" Another person chipped in from somewhere.The came

  • A Second Bite At The Cherry   REBIRTH

    FIVE PENELOPE One moment I was plummeting straight into the horrid darkness below. The next moment I was being pulled up by an invisible force towards a bright light. I gasped as I came to life, sitting afore my makeup table in a pearly white robe. My heart was beating loudly with force as if it wanted to escape from my chest. I pressed my hand down on it to keep it steady and in place as my brain lagged. Quite a while passed as I stayed still trying to understand what happened to me. My breathing was ragged as I stared at my own horrified face in the mirror. No bullet wounds on my forehead where the gun had delivered it from before. Shock widened my eyes. My hand reached up to grasp at the spot more in disbelief than concern. How on earth was I here, back at my home from the warehouse, afore the mirror? What was this? Astral travels? What happened to the gun shot to my head? I had clearly felt it then. The bullet had shaken my entire body and my eyes had closed in fina

  • A Second Bite At The Cherry   MURDER

    FOUR PENELOPE A few minutes after they caught me, they knocked me out cold with a palm to the neck. When I had roused in the boot of a moving car, my wrists were tied tightly behind me. I kept twisting my hands anyway. Not because I thought it would work, but because staying still felt like giving up. But the knot was tough and tight and made the ropes bite deep into my flesh. The warehouse they brought me to smelled like rusting iron and old rotting corpses. I was trembling visibly when they pushed me down onto a wooden chair. There were five of them now and I could tell because I wasn't blindfolded. "Alpha Crest asked us to start the process before anything goes wrong." "Hopefully Salvatore replies fast and cooperates so we can get the hell out of here sooner than later," another said. It was the two from the parking lot and a third one who seemed to be in charge. The one who seemed to be in charge crouched down to my eye level. "Your husband is your lord and personal

  • A Second Bite At The Cherry   COLLATERAL

    THREE PENELOPE It was almost eight o'clock by the clock on the dashboard when I finally lifted my head.I realized that I had been sitting in my car in that parking lot for several hours. My eyes were dry now because there was nothing left in them to shed. I started the car without knowing where I was going and I just drove out.I stopped at a small pharmacy on the edge of town to pick up the prescription I had been ignoring for about a week now. Any distraction would be welcome now for me before I drowned in sorrow.I was inside for maybe ten minutes. Somehow, I dragged around dreading going back home to see Duke sitting there.When I came back out, the parking lot was darker than I had remembered.Two of the overhead lights had gone out while I had been picking my prescription.Also, for some reason, it was odd that there were no other cars near mine anymore.But I was too caught up in my own world to pay attention to my gut feeling.Too drained to make sense of everything tha
