ANMELDEN“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
Nurse Evelyn returns a few moments later, carrying what seems to be children’s colouring pages with crayons, I’m guessing one for her and the other for Aeliana. Her interest in learning what my mate likes gives me some hope. I know nobody can take care of her as well as I can, but it’s they’ll try.
KINGSTON My heart is in my throat when I arrive at the mental institution. It looks just like it did in the brochure, and the atmosphere seems okay. There are several cars parked in the visitors' parking lot. I walk up to the reception, spotting a familiar face, one of the three who came with the
“I’m leaving,” I choke out. “No, please don’t go.” He chokes out, reaching for me, but this time I don’t pull away fast enough. “I can’t live without you.” He says, a lone tear rolling down his cheek. “Can’t live without me?” I echo, my tone mocking because this is what he turned my life into, a f
NOAH I have felt every bit guilty since Aeliana left. Had I not been on my phone, they wouldn't have had any evidence at all. I wasn’t even able to see her as she left. I was out running errands. I tried to go and see her twice. The first time, Rowan dragged me back into the house, and the second t
