~Faye
Ultimately my first reaction is surprise.
This is my first kiss. Ever. It isn’t what I thought it would be, in the moment. Never would I have thought it would be with Cal either, a Huntsman who gets paid under the table to take people’s lives. Yet here I am, in this situation unable to think of anything else but the Huntsman.
His lips are soft, compared to his entire demeanour. His hands are gentle on my hips, not making any rough advancements. It’s so odd, and yet, I’m not pulling away.
Completely entranced by the feel and taste of him, it is only until he himself pulls away, shocking me out of that.
My fingers uninte

~FayeI'm not sure what to say to Kael, but he seems finished with the conversation.I let him walk away, as I notice Alden walk closer. Clearly, he's been listening to our conversation, which doesn't surprise me at all. He’s attentive like that, always seeming like he understands what is going on at all times. His expression is solemn as he comes to stand in front of me. I’m assuming I look the exact same as he does, because at least that is how I feel.“Everything okay with Kael?” he asks, glancing back to where the Alpha of Discipline walks away. “I apologise if this is intrusive, but I’ve seemed to notice that you two don’t have the best relationship.”I sigh deeply, wishing I could clear my head for a moment t

~FayeThe sight is almost nauseating. Taking tentative steps toward the bed, I try scout out the situation. All I know, is that T is on the bed, possibly having lost his life somehow, or perhaps even taken someone else’s“T?” … “What’s going on? Are you okay?” I ask softly, trying to keep my eyes on his face, rather than the rest of his body, which I almost can’t see under all the blood.His eyes suddenly flutter open at the sound of my voice, and instantly snap to me. Blood streaks through hair, down his cheeks and his neck, where it spreads out across his entire body, and most of the bed. As if the blood meant nothing to him, he sits up swiftly, pulls his feet out of the bed, and stands, not seeming injured in the s

~FayeT sits up in the bed, sipping his water.I watch in a chair a few metres from him, not wanting to get too close. He watches me back, right over the rim, curls all tousled, cheeks devoid of any healthy glow. His hands even shake slightly, the water in the cup trembling. I have no doubt he’s not faking his reaction to the poison. In my mind, I now have no doubt he’s an immortal.I have Yazzmine detained, and while T rested, being purged by numerous of my best healers, I questioned her. She was suspicious, saying she knew from our first Gaze Reading that he was an immortal, and she wanted to prove it to me in a way she would be assured I would u

~FayeI’m out of the bed in record time.“Why am I here?” I gasp, looking from the bed, to T, who slides out of bed, watching me warily. He’s clearly still plagued by sleep, while I’m shocked awake. He stares at me blearily, as if he can’t believe that I’m actually standing in his bedroom right now. I don’t blame him. I want to tear at my mind to stop whoever is controlling me.T sweeps his hand through his bed mussed hair, blinking a few times before he concentrates on me again.“That’s a great question,” he mutters, gaze wandering down my body. When I glance down, I see I’m wearing my nightdress, which is torn near the hip, and covere

~FayeI regret leaving T’s in the way I did.Not because I feel bad that I completely rejected a potential kiss, but because I had to wander back home with bare feet, in sweatpants that are much too long for my legs, with rain drizzling down at a constant pace. By the time I made it back home, I wanted to collapse into the shower, then into bed to sleep off every memory.Instead, I walk up the path to see a multitude of Guards standing post outside. When one sees me, she stands forward, bows her head, and waits for me to admit my confusion.“What’s going on?” I ask. Never do I have this many Guards out like this. Not in the rain, and not on a Sunday, when many are preparing for their weekly ritual

~FayeI stare the amount of work that spread across my desk, begging to be sifted through. My head falls straight into the paper, feeling the impact of the wood underneath on my forehead. My eyes burn bright crimson from staring under harsh light at scrawly handwriting. I’ve been here for what feels like hours, and I have a feeling it’s not going to get done in the next few hours.“You should really take a break.”I jump at the sound of a voice. I haven’t heard the sound of another person in hours. Actually, these past three weeks have been completely devoid of contact with anyone. So hearing a voice, especially familiar one feels so good.Cal stands at the doorframe. He’

~FayeI run. With him behind me, with a gun, I stand no chance, but regardless, I run for my life. As fast as I can, too.He pursues me, I can hear it. I can hear the thud against the ground as he chases after me. Why hasn’t he shot me yet? The thought pushes me to keep running, knowing I have no other choice but to keep as far from him as possible, even though it doesn’t look as if there is an end to this meadow in sight.All of a sudden, my foot falls into a slight dip in the ground, and I go plummeting toward the ground. I steel myself for a face full of dirt and grass, and the breath to be knocked out of my lungs.Instead, I fall straight through the ground, and into darkne

~FayeI’ve approached many difficult situations in my time as Alpha, but none amount of this.I’m standing at T’s doorstep, hand at the ready to knock on the door. However, I’m hesitating. It’s raining, but not a heavy kind of rain. It’s drizzly, the sky is grey, as it almost perfectly reflects my mood.I don’t want to be here.Come on Faye, you’re an Alpha, and no curly headed, irritatingly attractive guy who likes to let his garden grow out. My hand brushes away a wander vine that grows on the paint stripped banister as emphasis. Attempting to muster up enough courage, I breathe in deeply, and knock on the door.
