LOGINSLOANE’S POINT OF VIEW.I tossed for the tenth time in Lucien’s bed, while clutching his hoodie to my chest. Ever since my boyfriend had sped off on his Harley, I’d tried not to overthink or spiral down the deep hole of fear. I tried my best to believe he was okay….that Killian would not get a one-up on him, and cause him harm. I hated that I couldn’t put a call through to him. I was too scared that if I did, it would distract him and ultimately cause Lucien harm.Dread settled in my bones as I inhaled his scent in a bid to comfort myself. I didn’t know what this building was, but I trusted that it was a safe space since my boyfriend was in it a couple of hours ago.The night sky felt like there was a wolf birthing, as the full moon hung in the sky. The thunder raged against the black canvas, startling me to sit up in bed. I shuddered, a shiver coursing through me as I peeled off the sheets. Slipping my feet into the soft pink bunny slippers I’d found, I made my way out of the room.T
ACE'S POINT OF VIEW.I smiled against her hair and pulled away slowly so I could continue with what I was saying. I knew she wouldn’t turn me away; she wasn’t like Micheala….I remembered the girl I thought I loved back in middle school, and her reaction when I told her about it. She proceeded to vomit on my shoes and tell the rest of our classmates that I was a damaged boy.Valerian pulled me out of that school the moment he found out about it, not even considering the principal’s offer to have the kids who bullied me expelled. I still remember what my mother looked like. Although the memory was jarring, I could picture her face as clearly as eight-year-old me would remember. Her hair always looked as dark as the night sky, and would be oiled with something that had jasmine in it.She always had on really heavy, cakey makeup. No matter the time of day, her face would be contorted with different colours to conceal how hideous she looked underneath. I remembered how her laugh sounds,
ACE’S POINT OF VIEW.The air around us felt suddenly still as our laughter died.I could feel the nerves on the back of my neck spiking as I stared at Amara. Dressed in my hoodie, which stopped mid-thigh, I could not help but think. My mind reverted to her parents, to the love they shared that was so powerful, it found them years later.I never believed in love, especially because it was never a possibility with the kind of home I came from… it was that hell hole that could ever be called a home.I swallowed the dry feeling in my throat and faced the peppers frying in the cooker. I needed something to distract me, so I wouldn’t see the look of disgust in her eyes from what I was about to tell her. ‘But what if she decides to leave you… What will you do then?’ my subconscious whispered, and the thought of it struck a feeling of panic through me. I don’t know if I’d be able to survive that. Amara showed me a future I never thought I would see… a future I never thought possible. “I’m s
AMARA’S POINT OF VIEW.He looked down at me with a smirk before bending so he could capture my lips in a soft kiss. If there was anything I knew about Ace, it was how much he enjoyed kissing me. The guy just cannot get enough of my lips, and who am I to deny him?I kissed him back with as much passion and….well, love, smiling against his lips, as he grabbed my ass, before smacking it. I gasped at the hot contact against my flesh, and Ace took that chance to insert his tongue into my mouth. The moment our tongues connected, he groaned into my mouth and kissed with even more passion. I followed his lead, letting him pull me further into the daze he always keeps me in. A few minutes later, he pulled away from me, choosing to feast on my neck instead, as he kissed my neck and shoulders with equal passion as earlier. “Ace.” I giggled at the ticklish feel of his slight stubble prickling against my neck. “That tickles.”“Hmm, baby.” He groaned, the sound deep and guttural. “I missed you.”
AMARA'S POINT OF VIEW.I let out a breath of relief as the tension in my spine disappeared into thin air. Slurping on my mango smoothie, I mused on the events of yesterday.If trauma had a smell, mine would be burnt toast and mangoes. I sat on the counter in one of Ace’s many hoodies, sighing at the delectable taste of the smoothie I cajoled him into making for me.The door clicked open, forcing me out of the daze I was in. I didn’t have to look up to know it was him; the air changed whenever Ace walked into a room. Less oxygen, more heat….or maybe that effect was something only I experienced.“You look like someone who just watched a horror film,” he said, voice dripping with lazy amusement, his lips pulled in his signature smirk as he walked over to me. His sweat pants hung lazily on his hips, his upper body bare so his properly chiselled abs were on display before me. “Or accidentally walked in on one.”I groaned, dropping my face into my palms. “Don’t. You. Dare. Speak. Of it.”Ac
AMARA’S POINT OF VIEW.“Amara.” My mother gasps in shock, her face contorting in horror; the complete opposite of the blissful one that she had earlier, much to my horror.Someone please tell me there’s bleach for the mind, so I can scrub this from my memory box immediately. Scratch that, what I need is something I can take to wipe my memory.Someone please!“Amara, turn around.” My dad gasps, and frankly, he didn’t have to tell me, because I turned around the second my mother confirmed my horror.My mom and dad were in bed…together….doing the thing Ace and I do very often. “My parents were doing the thing, Ace and I do. Which—fine, karma, I deserved that. But somewhere under the horror and the desperate need to bleach my eyeballs, there was this… spark. Like maybe the universe was finally setting something right, just in the most traumatising way possible.”What the fuck?!“Please, someone explain what the hell I just saw?” I said, my hands rubbing at my eyes like the frantic motion
