LOGINPetra 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
AELIANA Day three, round two. I hate this place. Every single day, my hatred for this place grows, and these last three days since I came back have really gotten to me. I have more eyes on me than I did before, which has made it very hard for me to speak to someone. Someone whom Mama Bird instruc
Me? He had me, and he drove me straight to the lion's den. He can’t be serious right now. My eyes quickly shift back to Evelyn. “Do I go to confinement if I punch him?” “Yes.” She almost whispers. “What are you doing here?” I ask, watching him to ensure he keeps his distance. “I came to see ho
AELIANA “Luna Aeliana,” Evelyn gasps, locking the door when she enters my cell. “Oh, my God. Why did you run away?” I pause. Sometimes I wonder how she got this job, she seems to lack common sense. She has seen this place, and she might be used to it, but I am not. She keeps staring at me from th
“We will never get to be in-laws, and if we do, your sick brother will fucking kill me.” She whisper-yells. “I can take just about anything, but I will not take him hitting me.” “He did what?” “He’s too rough,” she winces. “And it’s not even a kink, babe, it’s straight abuse. He is fucking sick, y
AELIANA My hands are tied behind my back with a scarf, the sting painfully biting into my wrists. Why does this keep happening to me? “Why didn’t you speak up?” Seraphine barks, her fingers threaded so tightly in my hair that it hurts. “I didn’t want to get involved,” I confess. Seraphine and her
“Oh,” Finn nods. “That was you, Luna Aeliana? It’s brilliant, I’ve seen huge positives since enforcing it in the pack.” Aeliana’s cheeks flush, “I… thank you.” She says shyly. I’m not one to read articles, I approve summarised proposals, and I approved Aeliana’s work without knowing it was hers. G
I swallow, unable to form words or an explanation while everyone stares at me, waiting. Mara takes Aeliana’s hand, “Sit with us.” She says, winking at me. I love this woman, she’ll throw a bone right when you need one. Dave chose a good one, everyone did. But me? I think I got the best one. “Oh-ok
She nods, fiddling with her fingers. Again. Her gaze lowers, “Forgive me, but I only say this because I worry and care, but she’s been unusual.” “Unusual how?” I ask, the words coming out so fast I nearly bite my tongue. She shrugs, “I don’t know how to explain it, but she’s different.” Oh good.
