Bite Chapter 108: Olivia
I'm so tired.I can still feel their eyes as I enter Talon’s room and peel off my two-day-old uniform.I don't know if their gazes make me feel special or strange. With a gasp, I take in Talon’s enormous bathroom and instantly forget about the boy’s stares. Pristine tiles and an actual bathtub fill the space. I peek at his shower items and find all sorts of fancy shampoos in glass bottles, soaps carved in flowery shapes that smell heavily of his lavender. I pick one up and decide I wouldn't mind smelling like Talon. But the thing that gets me is a small, pink heart-shaped soap bar, sitting alone under a glass soap dish. I know I probably shouldn't touch it, but I can't help peeking and taking a whiff. I gasp. Cinnamon and Strawberry. Surely he didn't… I snap the case shut, warmth spreading through me. Would he get me something I may never even use? I turn on the shower, and I'm instantly hit with a warm stream of water. It's like the shower knew exactly what I wanted. No way
Bite Chapter 107: Olivia
By the time the plan is set in stone, night is already falling, and everyone decided it's best we go home. Before Liana gets out of the Crestridge compound, I grasp her hand. So much nonsense has gone down, and now I feel a maternal instinct to leave her out of it. “You know you don't have to come with us, right?” I pull her closer gently. She sets her lips in a hard line, “I think I owe it to Axel no matter how much of an ass he’s been. He saved my life.” She pauses, assessing me. “And I guess I owe it to you too.” My brain racks for what she could possibly owe me, “I’ve not really given you anything.” Liana shakes her head. “Don’t say that. You gave me a friend. I've never really met a girl I liked as much as you, Tiny. I'm not going to let you go now because some monster wants to lay claim to you.” “Lay claim is a very polite way of saying he wants to keep me as his own.” “Whatever the case may be. You're mine. You're ours.” She gestures to the CrestRidge House, stand
Bite Chapter 106: Olivia
Alex stares. Axel’s flesh and blood Alex, not some fake playing a prank, but the real Parker Princess. “How did you… How are you… You want to… huh?” My words can’t even mesh together and form a coherent sentence. Maybe I really did fail that English test. She comes fully into view, her lithe frame so different from her brother’s, but still the similarities between them are uncanny. I’m not sure if I want to pull her in or find the nearest kitchen knife to defend myself. “I said maybe I can help you,” she repeats, confirming I’m not mad. “If Clarissa will not take you to Nester, I will.” My knees nearly give way again. Talon gently pulls me behind him, his hazel eyes narrowed. “You’re Axel’s sister?” “Yes, and I want to help my brother’s friends.” Which only confuses me further. Maybe I’d have preferred it if she walked in here knife in hand. At least that’d have made sense. With a lurch, Clarissa jerks toward her, as if she’s going to hit Alex, but the other girl casts her a ha
Bite Chapter 105: Ryker
I've fiddled with my mother’s ring more times in the last 2 days than I've done in 20 years.Everything is coming apart fast. I love fast. I crave it, but this is something else entirely.“You look awful,” Clarissa says beside me.“It's nice to see you too, Clary,” I lie. I can't genuinely remember the last time I felt happy or grateful to be in the same room as her.“I didn't mean it insultingly, Ryker. I mean you look awful, sick. Since our encounter with John, you’ve seemed so… pale.”I face her, surprised to see her assessing me sincerely.The truth is, I have felt a little off, like there’s a constant cold waving through me, but it's not like after my fight with John things just went back to normal. It's been a rough few days. When all this is over, I'm sure I'll be able to take a nap, grab a burger, and do anything to get my familiar glow back.I contemplate telling her the truth, and I decide on simply saying, “I've just been a little chilly.”She looks at me a moment longer, l
Bite Chapter 104: Hunter
Olivia collapses in my arms. “What did you say to her?” I snap, glaring at Clarissa. She throws her hands up, “Why do you think I had something to do with it?” A slow throbbing starts in my head. I can't do this today, not with Clarissa, not with anyone. I carry Olivia to my room, laying her on my bed and sitting at the edge. I feel a little guilty that I'm grateful she’s passed out. At least, for now, I don't have to worry too much about the bet, and I can fix my mind on every other fucked up thing going on. I dial my dad again. And again. And again. I dial him till my phone screen blurs with frustrated tears. Where the hell could he be? As a final Hail Mary, I call the last person on earth who would want to talk to me right now After a few rings, Ricklan’s gruff voice deadpans, “Hunter?” I blow out a breath, running a hand through my hair. “Hey, Uncle Rick.” “I don't have time to talk to you,” he pauses, “unless this has something to do with Olivia?” I turn to her, look
Bite Chapter 103: Olivia
After a torturous minute of silence, Clarissa pipes up, and for the first time in my life, I’m glad to hear her voice. “Before we die here of quiet, does anyone know how we’re going to get to Axel?” “Nope,” Ryker says defeatedly. “No clue,” Talon mutters quietly. Clarissa blinks at them. “Okay, so you two are useless.” She turns to Liana, tapping her head, “and I doubt you’ve got much going up there.” Liana turns as red as her hair. “I will kill you.” Clarissa ignores her and faces me. It’s odd to be stared at by her with curiosity, not hatred. “That leaves you, magic woman. Got any golden tricks up your sleeve?” For some reason, I’m oddly offended. I fold my hands and insist, “I’m not a magician.” “Whatever you say, Little Rose.” I perk up. “What the hell does that thing mean?” Clarissa rolls her wrist noncommittally. “Oh, I don’t know… something to do with roses being rare around here, blah blah blah. Nester calls all his lovers that.” I think bile nearly chokes me to dea
Bite Chapter 86: Hunter
The burning in my eye stops the second John turns to ash. Relief washes over me, but even as the awful sting has subsided, the terrible memory of it has not. I wipe at my eye repeatedly, trying to dust away the horrible feeling. Metal clatters to the ground and I peer up to find that Talon has d
Bite Chapter 85: Axel
Something feral in me snaps. All the desire I’ve tried to stifle bubbles up as her hot mouth hurries against mine. It’s wrong, so wrong how I can smell her wetness; the sweetest strawberry, the spiciest cinnamon. But everything is wrong: Roanna’s death, my broken now healed ribs, Nester Rist, Ta
Bite Chapter 84: Olivia
“Honestly, Olivia, I can’t lie to you. I do not understand why Roanna has taken this as far as she has.” Dillon seethes in the council office. He was sitting beside Principal Watson a second ago, but now he’s pacing after I asked if I could retake my test with him and the principal present. Princ
Bite Chapter 83: Axel
Talon. My Talon? “What the hell did you just say about my beta?” I snap, all the fear draining out of my body and replacing it with burning, hot rage. “You’re a smart boy, I hope you’re not expecting me to repeat myself?” She chastises me like I got a question in her class wrong. I shove her nas
