LOGIN“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
I knock on Rowan’s door, and he opens almost immediately, dressed in nothing but a towel, his hair still damp from the shower. It distracts me for a split second, but then I go back to remembering why I’m here. “Rowan.” His face immediately lights up, “Hey, Hero, what’s up?” “I...I just took a—”
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
AELIANA He let me go. He let them take me. I begged him not to do it and he still fell for it, he let them tear me from his arms and he didn’t even look at me. I didn’t give up fighting, not even when they put me in the back of the ambulance. I screamed until my throat was raw, and even now as I
KINGSTON When almost everyone leaves the room, Aeliana breaks down, crying and trying to convince me she’s okay. She is. I believed she was fine, I thought I handled everything with Brandon, and I thought I was being enough for her until I heard she was thinking about hurting herself. “I’m not cr
