Masuk“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
“The doctors don’t think it’s a good idea for her to leave, much less after her escape.” “I didn't like leaving her there,” Maddox groans. “She seemed done.” His voice drops, “She didn’t even fight it like last time.” “It’s a good thing, is it not?” Danielle frowns. “No,” he sighs. “It’s worrying
I see my knees push up, and he positions himself between my legs again. The realisation of what is about to happen makes terror explode in my veins. I don’t know where I get it from, but feeling returns in my body. My leg jolts with a force, and I dive my knee into his chest. He staggers enough for
⚠️Trigger warning: SA. Feel free to skip this chapter and start with the next one. AELIANA Petra got to me. I can’t get her out of my head. Something about her being right has my heart pounding. By the time we got back to my room, I was on the verge of tears. I couldn’t go another day without kn
Petra doesn’t flinch, she simply blinks and smiles again. “Sure you are, there’s a baby right….” She points at my stomach over the table. “There.” “No, I shake my head, pulling my tank top down some more. My idiot of a mate packed one of my old ones, it's a super-tight fit. “Is it a secret?” She f
NOAH My Ellie dragged me to her house because she didn’t want to sleep alone. The first night we stayed over at my house, Kingston spent the night outside. We didn’t notice until we went out for a midnight snack and invited him inside. He was very clear about wanting to stay the night and had we no
“I don’t want to hurt you.” “You won’t,” I shake my head. “You’re not him, King. If anything, the only way you’re hurting me is by not touching me.” I say, taking his hands and guiding them higher under my oversized t-shirt, letting him feel how relaxed I am under his touch. “I love your hands, my
AELIANA Working at VU is such a delight, but it’s harder than my job in Clinshore was. I was just a T.A back then, but this time? I don’t even feel like a substitute. The professor I'm supposed to be subbing for has only shown up once at the office, and she simply packed her belongings from our off
He nods, “I apologise, Aeliana, but I do care, you’re my daughter. You were always wanted,” he says, his words convincing even though I never once felt that way. “You were wanted so badly that your mom gave her life away, and in a way I gave mine as well because Freya was my whole life, I’ve never l
