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

“She doesn’t—Siren, look...I’m just trying to help you. Those things could mess you up.” “I don't need fucking help!” I snap. “You think I’m doing heroine? Cocaine? I’m barely doing nicotine, I haven’t had a cigarette since you left! I just happened to have taken one from Noah, and I didn't want to
Panic flashes in his eyes, and he forces a smile. “You looked happy in your photos.” “Not the conversation, circle back,” I demand, twirling my finger clockwise. “What do you mean I’ve taken a loving to drinking and smoking?” “You have been drinking since I left, and I’ve been gone over the last s
AELIANA It’s late when Noah’s fling this week finally drops me off at the packhouse, and the clock is nearing midnight. I’m not nearly drunk enough thanks to Noah so I tiptoe into the kitchen, grab a bottle of wine from the liquor pantry, and settle by the kitchen island. Maybe if I get drunk enoug
“Blondie?” Audrdy snarls, rolling her eyes. “I see Noah is rubbing off on you.” His smile falls, and they share a look, nothing short of unpleasant. “Is it that bad?” I ask, Noah is a good girl, she’s got a mouth on her, and no filter, but still. “Do you mean Noah’s influence on Rowan, or your mat
