Mag-log in“I did too,” she hiccups, fully sobbing now. “I always wanted to be better for you, but you let me get ruined.” I carefully move closer, not wanting to alarm her when I pull her close again. “You are not ruined, you are a fighter, Aeliana,” I tell her, rubbing her back. “You’re strong, and you will
I take Aeliana back to our room and sit her down on the bed. She immediately grabs a pillow and holds it to her chest, staring me up and down. “I’m scared, please take me back,” She whispers. “I don’t want to stay here with any of you.” “Who do you not want here? Say the word, and they’re gone.” “
“I’m sorry, but I was just being there for a friend.” “She is not your friend!” I snap. “Aeliana can’t stand you, Audrey. When will you get that into your thick skull? What is your problem? What obsession do you have with her that you go to such lengths?!” “Nothing, okay?” She swallows, her gaze l
“No, they didn’t.” Rowan laughs, “He walked out of the room when the staff went to clean up this morning, and before him, Audrey left.” “Where the fuck is she?” “She’s coming.” “That woman is trouble,” Maddox groans. “First, she had a threesome with me, and now, she got Aeliana in another threesome,” he gags, “Is that her kink or something?” “That’s sick,” Rowan seconds. I was with Audrey for a few years, and while I didn’t care enough to learn her kinks, we did have plenty of threesomes. I didn't think much of it, and I was fine with it because some of the women looked like Aeliana and if I pretended hard enough, a good time was had. “I’m going to kill her,” I grumble, heading out to find her. “Shit, Kingston!” Rowan sighs, his steps heavy behind me. “Listen, you need to—” “Audrey!” I snap, pushing open her already open bedroom door. She seems to have just arrived, and she has Aeliana’s purse on her bed. “Kingston.” She frowns, her eyes flickering between Rowan and me.
KINGSTON The hospital was making Aeliana restless, so we had to move everything along and bring her back home. She fought me on the way home. She even opted to take her home to Gamma Hartley because she’d feel better there, but Gamma Hartley is away on pack business, so I brought her home. She fell asleep almost immediately after lying in our bed, and I assured her that I would watch her. She is still under the impression that James could get to her, and that alone made me schedule a visit to the dungeon prison later in the morning. “Kingston?” Maddox calls from the open door, leaning against the door frame. “I need you to come out for a moment.” My eyes shift between him and Aeliana. She’s fast asleep now, but I don’t know what will happen when I leave the room. “I can’t leave her alone.” “Evelyn is still here,” he says. “I invited her to stay the night, but she was worried about Aeliana.” “She is off the clock,” I tell him. “And she must be sleeping by now. We’ve all had
“No, I promise they’re fine.” He tells me, gently rubbing my back. “Just take me back right now.” “Aeliana—” “You will send me there again, so why wait?” I pull away from him. “All the council has to do is say I’m insane, and you’ll stash me back there, so please let me go now, let me go before I
DANIELLE It takes a lot of courage for me to let Rowan in and when I finally do, I still can’t keep it together. I thought talking to someone would help, so I didn’t break down when I finally saw Rowan, but from the moment he came into the room, I’ve been hyperventilating, and sobbing like a wounde
Maddox pauses at a safe distance, sucking in a breath. “Hey.” “How is she ?” “We’re done,” he swallows, not a single ounce of his usual playfulness visible. “But she doesn’t want to see anyone right now.” Rowan is on the move instantly, “I’ll—” “Wait,” Maddox grabs his arm, pulling him backwards
In response, she frowns. “I thought you responded to violence after using it on Alex.” “He was not listening,” she grits through her teeth, staring at him like she’s about to exact revenge for the slaps he helped her get. “Neither were you but Alex is a child,” Luna Aeliana tells her. “He will lea
“No, stop.” I choke on my spit up, nervously turning in the dark. He is lying. Everyone who says Kingston doesn't love me is a fucking liar! “He loves me, you…” “Looking for me already?” He chuckles. “Relax, you’ll see me in the light again, just let me buy a new camera little tease. We can make an
