ANMELDEN“I considered that, but Riley is not new,” Maddox tells him. “This baffles me.” Doctor Holland shakes his head. “You can’t decipher everything, genius. This is where I come in.” “So?” Maddox raises an eyebrow. “What is it? DID?” “No,” Holland shakes his head. “From the brief interaction we had, I
Maddox hurries ahead of us, but Aeliana practically chases him down, getting in the back of the car with him, but he quickly makes his way to the front and throws his medical bag upfront so she doesn’t sit there. When I get in the car, she sits as far from me as she can, her head hanging out the wi
“What?” Maddox pushes her away, coming closer to me. “Kingston, what’s going on?” My lips part, but I can’t get the words out, I’m stunned by the way Aeliana is acting. Her mannerisms seem to have evolved to match Riley? “Kingston?” Her eyes find mine again. There’s no shine, no hope, no love, jus
“I’m sorry, baby,” I swallow, tears stinging in my eyes as I reach for her hand. “I didn’t know, this is all my fault, I should have never agreed to this, I should have brought them to you instead.” “Stop touching me!” She gasps, sliding off the edge of the bench. She falls but quickly picks hersel
Blood sprays on my boot and hand, and I wipe it on the coat that he doesn't deserve. His screams turn broken, guttural and animalistic, bouncing off the walls. With the way he screams, I’m surprised no one has made it to the office yet. “Pick it up,” I tell him, stepping away from him. “Al-alp-ha,
TW: Dismemberment. I make my way to James’ office. I pause when I hear something loud coming from his office, low, familiar groans that instantly irritate me. I push the door open. He should be working, not fucking, during office hours. This is practically a hospital. Nothing prepares me for what
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.
