It was my fault for not checking, she was due for another evaluation this week and I—.” “Hmm,” I nod, uninterested
I expect Maddox to stay back and flirt with Evelyn, but he accompanies me to James' office, and Evelyn follows us too. Evelyn goes ahead of us, and Maddox takes his time watching her from behind, forcing me to lower my pace as well. James is already on his feet when we enter. He has been avoiding m
“Where were you when she was attacked?” All colour drains from her face. “I—” “Kingston,” Maddox laughs, hitting my chest. “Sorry, he’s a little protective of her, you get it, huh? Mate bonds.” He says, as if trying out the word. “Actually…” “What did you want to speak about?” I demand. They’re
“Let’s meet at the institution to further discuss. There’s a lot I can’t say over the phone.” She says, “Just call me when you get here.” And with that, the line goes dead. Maddox and I share a look, and I shake my head. I don’t like the sound of Evelyn’s tone. I’ve been uneasy about Aeliana being

He said he was coming for me, but I’ll be ready this time, I’ll have nothing he can take, and just when he thinks he can win again, I’ll kill him, and I’ll enjo
A few hours later, I’ve searched every inch of my room, where someone could hide, including the back of my closet. I’ve locked every window and drawn the curtains, leaving the lights on so I can see. There are a few light knocks on my door, “Aeliana? Baby, are you awake?” Kingston asks, knocking a
“No, stop.” I choke on my spit up, nervously turning in the dark. He is lying. Everyone who says Kingston doesn't love me is a fucking liar! “He loves me, you…” “Looking for me already?” He chuckles. “Relax, you’ll see me in the light again, just let me buy a new camera little tease. We can make an
The moment I see an opportunity to flee, I take it. I escape to the one place no one is, the hallway. I take a drink with me, needing a moment of peace but the lights start flickering, and by the time I look up, they turn off completely. “For fucks sake.” I groan.
