LOGINMadeline:“Why would you want to go back there? They’re gonna throw you in prison anyway,” I said as I shrugged my shoulders, drumming my fingers on the table.She noticed my hands and then looked at me.“Well, is this any less of a prison?” she commented, grinding her teeth.“She’s got a good point,” I said as I snapped my fingers and got up from the chair.“You know, Kaylee, I thought about punishing you, torturing you every day.”As I started to speak, I heard her scoff at me.“What changed?” she commented.I walked up to her and crouched down in front of her.“That’s bold of you to assume I changed my mind.” I let out a little laugh, reaching toward her to move a strand of hair away from her face.She didn’t dare slap my hand away.“But I decided that instead of giving you physical pain, I’ll give you mental abuse,” I mumbled softly, watching her eyes start to water with anger.Then I gave her a little slap on the cheek while she tried to pull her face away.I got up and walked aw
Madeline:“She’s in the guest house on the other side of the garden,” I said to her as I headed toward the basement.I was wearing black pants, a white shirt, and a black blazer for the office. I had slipped my keys into my pants pocket.Livia stood beside me, carrying her own bag and the one she had picked up for me from the couch.“Is she bothering you?” Livia questioned.I turned my head toward her and gawked at her.She looked at me and immediately tucked her hair behind her ear.“What is it?” she asked, kind of shying away.“You know, in a very twisted way, you remind me of my younger self, even though we’re the same age. That’s how innocent and naive I used to look before everything happened,” I commented, watching her narrow her eyes slightly as if she were trying to figure out whether it was a compliment.I opened the basement door and walked downstairs.My heels clicked against each step until I finally reached the floor.My fists automatically clenched the minute she came i
Madeline:“I think the monster just realized the human world is much safer than the werewolf land, and he just wanted to help.” She spoke very softly, almost eerily, making me frown at her.“Huh,” I uttered to myself.“Anyway, would you like to come with me to see Kaylee?” I asked her.“Yeah, sure,” she replied. “Have you known Kaylee for a long time?” she asked as she gathered her files and put them in her bag.That was when the door opened and Baxter marched in, wearing all black and looking so fucking handsome that I could just throw him on the table and do him right here, but I wouldn’t do that.He looked at me and then gestured for the new manager to wait for him outside.“What’s going on here?” he asked as he noticed both Livia and me getting ready to leave.“They are getting started on their own side project, Kaylee,” Daniel said to Baxter.The two seemed to have become great friends.It was weird how just a few weeks ago, I had no one and thought my husband’s memories were all
Madeline:“We can work on this together,” Livia said to Daniel, who was in the president’s office, helping me with the files and preparing a strong case to convince the werewolves that we were going to form a good alliance and not betray their trust.I was working on the files, really trying to focus, but I couldn’t help noticing the way those two were acting around each other.It seemed like Livia had a crush on Daniel, but he seemed indifferent.He barely looked at her.I had gathered from their past that they had been friends for a very long time.Maybe Daniel had recently figured out that she had feelings for him, and since he didn’t feel the same way, he had decided to put some distance between them so their friendship wouldn’t be ruined.“I don’t really need a partner on this project right now,” Daniel said as he started placing some of the patients’ files in front of me.I walked over to Baxter’s seat and stood between it and the table.Baxter had insisted that I work from his
Rosetta:“He can bleed. We saw him bleed earlier,” I pointed out, referring to the previous incident.“You’re still not getting it. While all of this is happening, as he drinks from the well, his curse has to be transferred to someone else at the exact same time,” she clarified.When she finished, she watched all of us zone out.“Well, I’ll take the curse myself.”As soon as I said it, I placed a hand on my chest.Byron’s head snapped toward me.“No!” he objected, almost too loudly.“The thing is, the other person must willingly take the cursed herb as well, from the hands of someone they love deeply,” Nala finished, making me shake my head.“But my father never took it willingly,” I countered with a smile, trying to find a loophole.“Well, that was because your father wasn’t transferring another monster’s curse to himself. The other monster died. That’s how your father became the monster. But for one monster to return to his human form while the curse is transferred to someone else,
Rosetta:“How many things have you been hiding from us?”Ron had been yelling at the top of his lungs ever since he returned to my house a day later.Once we started talking, I finally told them everything.I was completely transparent with them.“Is that why you didn’t want to kill the monster? Because he’s your father?” he demanded again, and I nodded.“Okay, quit yelling at her. It’s not easy for her to talk about all that trauma,” Byron interjected, stepping up to defend me as he faced Ron.“Well, you need to understand that she has to be honest with us about everything. Otherwise, we’re going to lose whatever war we’re fighting with Sawyer. You know Madeline is in the human world. She’s all by herself. We don’t even know what kind of experiments the humans are conducting on her,” Ron shouted, his face tensing up with anger.“I understand! You think that doesn’t bother me? I’m going crazy thinking about Madeline being there. If I could, I would give myself up for her. I’ll go ther
Madeline:We reached a shallow stream tucked between rocks and surrounded by tall grass and trees.The water was clear enough that we could see fish drifting near the surface and darting through the darker patches.My kids started to jump up and down, pointing toward the fish and clapping their han
Madeline:“I know I shouldn't have done that. I wish I hadn’t. Now I’ve lost everything. And he has the videos. I know he will come back to blackmail me again,” Yuvonne cried.I was shocked by everything she had been telling me. I reached for her hand and squeezed it."It was not your fault," I mur
Madeline:"Yuvonne? What are you saying?" I asked, my voice rising.At that point, I could no longer pretend it was not a big deal. She was crying and shaking her head uncontrollably. At times, she even scratched her arms."Yuvonne? I’m asking you. Tell me if it’s true. Did he fucking push you?" I
Graham:Everything went well. We decided that the next morning we would go to the council.We would tell them there was a video and that Yuvonne had given me a blowjob after drugging me.But the moment I went into the guest room, Kaylee rushed after me and hugged me from behind."What the fuck, Kay
