15: Someone in the Shadows
Unknown POV
I watched as she slept soundly. She was beautiful. I watched the easy rise and fall of her chest. Her breathing was quiet. I wonder what she's dreaming about. How I hoped it was me, but I knew better. I knew she was dreaming of him. That bloodsucking leech. He didn't deserve her. She was too good for him. She needed someone better than him. She needed me. I deserved her.
She stirred silently, and I held my breath. When she settled back down, I released a silent stream of air. I watched her intently while she slept. Taking in her every feature. Locking it into memory. Not that I needed to. I knew h

Bitten 16: Beach Time
Jarren's POV "I think I should go and start getting my things together as well. See you guys later." Becka called before walking out of the door as well, Nic close behind her. I sat on my bed in silence, the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end. It wasn't the silence that was making me uncomfortable. It was something else entirely. What it was exactly, I didn't know. I couldn't put my finger on it."So, Aaden, why were you so interested in knowing how Nic's activities with Mallory went?" Mason asked, putting air quotes around activities."I just wanted to know if she was as giving with him as she was with me."My gaze landed on Aaden. "Seriously, dude. What kind of friend are you?""I'm a great friend.""Throwing Mal's business out there like that isn't being such a great friend," Mason informedhim."Yea, well, oh well." If I
Bitten 17: Special
Jillie's POV I watched him walk away toward the water. I called after him, but he didn't even as much as look back. I looked down at the guy on the ground, and he was shaking. I didn't blame him. I was shaking to. What was up with Jarren's eyes? They'd looked almost black. I shook my head as I began to walk slowly toward the water. I continued to walk into it until my feet could no longer touch the bottom, and I swam out a little way."Jarren!" I didn't see him anywhere, but I was positive this was where he came in at. "Jarren!" I turned around when I heard water moving behind me. I came face to face with Jarren. I jumped a little. "You scared me.""
Bitten 18: Home Again
Jillie's POV I couldn't wait to get off this plane and home. The trip was fantastic. I loved going to the beach and the botanical gardens. That was my favorite part of the entire trip. I lay back in my chair. We'd been in the air for about almost seven hours. Another hour and I'd be home and in my own bed. I missed my parents."What are you thinking about?"I turned to look at Jarren. "Being home.""Someone was homesick."I laughed. "Just a little." He grabbed my hand and brought it to his lips, kissing it lightly. I felt a shiver run
Bitten 19: Cursed Life
Jarren's POV I pulled back instantly, fangs immediately retracting. What had I done? I got off of her and walked over to the window, opening it just a bit. I needed some fresh air. I needed to air her scent and the smell of her blood out of the room. I turned back to look at her, and she was holding three fingers to her neck. I could have died if it were possible when I saw the blood on her fingers when she pulled them back. She got off the bed and walked into the bathroom, closing the door. How the hell could I have been so stupid? I got so caught up that I let my guard slip down too far. I'd put her in danger. It was already a battle controlling myself around her when she looked at me. I shouldn't have let my guard down
Bitten 20: Time to Think
Jillie's POV"Jilliannah." I jumped so hard it felt like I'd pulled something. I looked behind me, and Nunny was sitting under a gazebo. She motioned for me to come over. I walked slowly toward her. I sat on the bench beside her."What's the matter, dear?" Once again, I felt compelled to tell her, but what exactly was I supposed to say? Tell her that the guy I was in love with was a vampire, and I didn't know. Tell her that even though he wasn't human, I couldn't make myself stop thinking about him. How would I say something like that? She'd think I was crazy.
Bitten 21: Still At Odds
Jarren’s POV It’s been an entire two weeks since I talked to Jillie. She was avoiding me. She didn’t sit beside me in classes, and she’d find some excuse to tell the others why she wasn’t in the cafeteria for lunch. It was driving me up the wall. I didn’t know what to say to people when they asked what was going on with her. I didn’t know what to say when people asked if we were still together. I knew the answer, but saying it out loud would finalize it, and I couldn’t deal with that. I made my way to Drama and took a seat at our table. This was the one class that Jillie sat remotely close to me in. I too
Bitten 22: The Morning After
I turned off the shower and wrapped a towel around myself. I dried off and slipped on my yellow panties and bra before putting the towel in the hamper and walking out of the bathroom. I stopped in my tracks when I saw Jarren sitting on the window seat. I paused for a moment before opening my top drawer. I pulled out some shorts and a tank top and slipped them on quickly. He didn’t say anything. I walked over and sat on my bed slowly. It was silent for what felt like hours.“What do you want?” I finally asked softly.“To talk to you.” He stood up and took something out of his pocket. He took a step toward me, held out the little bottle, and gave it to me. “Just hear me out. If you think that I’ll hurt you, just use this.” &nb
Bitten 23: Not Rejecting You
I finished eating my breakfast and loaded the dishes into the dishwasher. After I was done, I walked into the living room and sat on the couch beside my dad. “James Bond” was on. It had to be one of his all-time favorite movies. We sat there and watched it together. I loved spending time with my dad, even if we were silent the entire time. Once the movie was done, I made my way back up the stairs and into my room. I picked up my phone and noticed I had four missed calls. One from Jarren, One from Alyx, and two from my cousin Kaileeh. I called her back first.“Hello,” she answered on the second ring.“Hey cousin, what’s up?”“Hey Jillie, nothing much,
