Earis

The room seemed to move even when we stood our ground, like we were being transferred to a different location.

All I saw were blurs before the room came to a stop. Magnus' grip tightened as though he wanted to confirm that I was still standing next to him even if I didn't reciprocate his gesture.

The next view was outside a hospital's ward, and a transparent glass shield was all that separated us from those inside.

The scent of blood clogged my nostrils before a wailing child pulled our attention towards the bed where a woman lay legs spread open. She had just given birth and the sight I beheld made my breath hitch.

My jaw dropped.

It was me! I had just given birth. I unconsciously turned to see the expression on Magnus' face. And just like before he looked completely bewildered. He kept staring at the child as the doctor raised her up.

“It's a girl,” he muttered in a low voice.

A faint smile tugged at my lips, I turned to see her for myself. God, she was beautiful. She

  • Hunt Me, Mark Me    159. A perfect morning for roleplaying

    Earis I took a deep breath long enough to make sure I was no longer dreaming before I opened my eyes. The scent of clean sheets filled my lungs, and I could feel the cold of the AC brushing against my skin. The air was mixed with that maddening smell of him… dark, musk, and strangely impossible to ignore. It wrapped around everything, clinging to the room like it belonged here. I could feel the ridge muscles of his bicep under the soft, feathery pillow and his firm chest behind me. His free hand was carefully tucked under my belly like he also had to include Lanfia in the cuddle, just like it had been every morning for the past two weeks. His breath was heavy, fanning the back of my neck, and his heart thumped slowly. A faint smile tugged at my lips. If love could have a smell, it was definitely this. “Girl, don't you just love this life? Let's remain in his warmth for the rest of today,” Skylar purred. I haven't felt this free and peaceful in forever, and it was scary to get us

  • Hunt Me, Mark Me    158. The extinguisher to her flames

    MagnusI could smell the cabin burning from the main road. Akira was already fidgeting, mumbling some spells. The air in the car was thicker than the factory air. My heart wouldn't stop racing… my thoughts slammed violently inside my head as I tried to figure out what the fuck was happening. Could it be that Aaliyah had broken Akira's spell? Or the hunters had found the cabin and burnt it down! Earis wouldn't be able to escape because of the spell Akira cast on her. Marble pushed the gear harder, trying to get to the cabin on time. The second we were within the barrier, Marble came to an abrupt stop, and I dashed out, shifting and lunging towards the cabin. My ears prickled, and I heard muffling sounds. “Earis, you have to calm yourself. You're burning the whole cabin to the ground!” Clarissa barked. I lunged forward, jumping as high as I could. I could hear the slow, steady thump of Earis's heartbeat, and the loud, fast thump of Lanfia's. I heard nothing about Aaliyah, and th

  • Hunt Me, Mark Me    157. Psychological warfare

    Earis What could I say? I was terrified out of my mind. I couldn't see the barrier, but I could see everything around the cabin… The pile of bodies Clarissa had stacked over at the edge to burn, those she had burned… the mess Magnus had made in the woods when he chased me. Since the roof was damaged, I got a clear sight of Aaliyah and Vanya, and I had to strain my eyes to see the last person who was seated in one of the empty rooms. Is that the fucking doctor? What the hell? “How the hell do I get down from here?” I snapped. “It's easy, just think of where you want to go and your body is bound to obey,” Hela responded. I shut my eyes, trying to block out the noise and the sound of my own heart racing inside my chest. With everything happening, and even though Magnus had left me trapped in this cabin, all I wanted was him. Not to save me, but to give me an explanation. Slowly, I thought of being low until the ground, more like I wanted to feel my feet on the ground. And I could f

  • Hunt Me, Mark Me    156. The road to the dark side

    Earis Something was wrong, I could feel it from the way the air shifted around me. I felt like I had been having the same conversation with Vanya for hours, like I was stuck in a time loop, and each time I had a different thought on how I wanted it to go, but it still ended up the same way. “I can't believe you guys graduated without me…” I teased, and Vanya chuckled. “We'll let you guys have the room. I'll be outside if you need me, little wolf,” Magnus said, and weirdly, he had a smile on his face, and they all walked out, shutting the door behind them. That was the first flaw. I had been trying to put a smile on his face after the doctor had examined me. And he had been acting weird since he walked out that door until now. I tried to use Skylar's ability to listen to what was going on outside the door, but it was dead silent. The smile on my face flattened, and I turned to Vanya. “Do you notice anything weird?” I asked, and her brows furrowed like always. “What do you mean,

  • Hunt Me, Mark Me    155. The Escape

    Magnus In one swift motion, I ripped the bottom of my shirt off and tied it around my pinky finger. My bone had dissolved, and the pain was excruciating. Blood gushed from the wound as I struggled to cut the blood flow. There was no time to think of the pain. I had to get the fuck out of here. A sharp pain pierced my chest, right where I had the tattoo of Skylar, and instantly, I knew something was wrong with Earis. I shot to my feet immediately, grabbing the burner phone and turning to Josh, who stood frozen like he had seen a ghost. I grabbed him by the shoulder and slammed him against the wall. “Who are you? What did you make me do?” He stuttered, his body trembling against my grip. My eyes glowed red, and I let out a low growl.“Like I said before, today is your lucky day, Josh,” I smirked, trying to hide the pain and my trembling knees as the wolfbane coursed through my veins and into my heart. “W…what are you?” He stammered, his eyes already glistening with tears. I pulle

  • Hunt Me, Mark Me    154. Close call

    Magnus I actually thought the containment feed line was going to be a large room filled with drums of liquid wolfbane, but my expectations were cut short when I walked into a small room with barely enough space for three people. “Sir, you should wear a mask,” Josh said, handing me one. I took it from him and put it on, still maintaining my distance by standing at the entrance of the room. “Go ahead,” I ordered, folding my arms as my gaze fixed on the countdown timer blinking red on the wall. 0:59.This was it, everything today has been about, and we were almost done. For a brief moment, a glimpse of Earis’s face crossed my mind… the curve of her smile, the way her eyes softened when she looked at me. Stigha wasn’t the only one missing her warmth. I couldn’t wait to go back to her. It had barely been twenty-four hours since I left, yet it felt like it had been a week. Every second away from her stretched endlessly. All I wanted was to hold her again, to take her far from that god
