LOGINI 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
“Is that why you came back?” The girl asks. “Because you and your mate are not on good terms?” I simply stare at her. She seems pretty invested in my life, and for a moment, I start to think she might have been planted by someone out or in here to find out about my plans of potential escape. It’s

“I don’t think so, but Noah is—” “What are you going to do?” I frown. “Because if you were Kingston? You’d be telling this story as you live your second life.” His lips pull into an amused smile, brief and replaced by instant concern. “Noah is thinking about leaving, I can see it in her eyes.” I
AELIANA I spent all of yesterday wallowing in guilt and sobbing all night. Kingston didn't come home last night, and Noah and Danielle felt obligated to babysit me, so I went to bed early. However, I couldn’t sleep because I kept hearing Seraphine’s screams. I had to fake being asleep when Noah cam
I pause, I’ve been against my will up to date with everything going on between him, Noah and Danielle, but now I’m out of the loop, and it feels wrong. “There’s another thing?” “Yeah,” his tone drops. “I fucked up.” “What did you do?” “Noah is thinking about leaving, the house and possibly the pa
KINGSTON I did not expect to come home to whatever mess that was. Everyone is yelling, talking, and offering their version of what happened, but I can’t seem to care enough. I should, but my mind is with the woman sobbing in Noah’s room. “Lexie,” I call out, my eyes wandering the room for her. “Go
