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

“Oh, you’re here too.” I nod. Remembering that he also went to visit Ellie on that day, and he bragged about being able to see her. “This is starting to make more sense.” “What makes sense?” Damien frowns, trying to play dumb even though he has already been caught. “You two being together after wh

Aspen pauses, “You're never leaving home again, princess.” He tells him, kicking Rowan in the groin for the threat I just made. “No, no, leave him alone, please.” I rasp, “We’re not together anymore.
