“They will send me away again, and then where will I be? Without her anyway. It’s just better to be close without her than not.”

He chuckled. “You got it bad.”

I rolled my eyes. “Say’s the one that ran all the way here from the city to watch the alpha’s daughter graduate from 8th grade because she batted her eyes and said please.”

“Whatever,” he mumbled.

We fell silent as the ceremony started. I watched Scarlett the whole time, wondering if she could feel me. The thought had been driving me crazy since the incident when she was in the hallway. I leaned down to scratch my leg before Godric pushed forward to make one nail shift into his claw. I bit back a scream when it raked down my leg, and blood welled up. Scarlett cried out, and my head snapped around to look at her. She was leaning down, checking her leg. She pushed Justin away when he leaned close to her, whispering.

‘I told you! Human or not, she feels us,’ he growled before leaving again.

I cursed silently, clenching my jaw as I

  • Hunting Their Enemies   Fight For Dominance

    Scarlett (Three Months Later)I kept my head down as my mother drove me to school. I had begged my mother to move back to the city after the night I spent with Osprey. I had stopped talking to Elena, and I hated it. I missed her even though she had been playing me just like her brother had. I had lost a lot of weight. Even though my body screamed that it was starving, I couldn’t eat, and when I did, I always threw it up. My body was suffering as much as my brain and heart were. I was weak, and my mother had started me on daily IV feedings.It crushed me every day when I had to see the pity on her face. I rubbed my shoulder to stop it from itching, wincing at the pain that coursed through me. I couldn’t keep seeing his bite on my shoulder, so I had tried to dig it out with a pocketknife, only stopping when I had passed out in the shower. I had woken up still in the shower, freezing with all my skin pruned up. I scratched it again.This stupid thing didn’t want to heal, nor did it want

    Vanessa“VANESSA! YOU HAVE A GUEST!”I rolled my eyes as I went to snatch my door open. I hated that my father was the way he was. Sometimes he didn’t understand his role. He was my servant. He had no business yelling at me. He only thought I listened to him. I never did. Not anymore, anyway. I had learned a year ago that all I had to do was say that I wanted to live with my mother, and he stopped trying to boss me around.“WHO IS IT?” I yelled down to my father.“SILVER!?”“SEND HIM UP!”“VANESSA! NO BOYS IN YOUR ROOM!”I glared at the stairs, wishing he could see my face. “MOM TRUSTS ME!” I screamed.Seconds later, Silver was walking up the stairs. I smiled at him as I stepped back to let him into my room. He frowned as he looked around my bedroom, making me roll my eyes. My room was no different than any other time he had been here. He laid down on my bed, smirking up at me.“Are you really this dense, Ness?”I grabbed my brush as I sat down at my desk. “What are you talking about?

  • Hunting Their Enemies   To Leave Or Not To Leave?

    OspreyI stared down at her as I carried her to her house. She was going to be the death of me, and right now, after our dinner, I was going to willingly walk into the lion’s den covered in barbeque sauce and lay down in front of the damned lion.“Bon appetit. I taste fucking delicious,” I mumbled under my breath.She kissed me again, and I groaned as her tongue moved over mine. When I shifted her in my arms, she wrapped herself more fully around me. My cock throbbed as her body rubbed against mine. I shifted my hands, cupping her ass as I ground against her core. I could feel her hot wetness through the thin material of her so-called pants. I shifted her again so that she sat on my arm as I wiggled my other hand between us to tear a hole in her leggings to rub closer to her pussy. My breath caught in my lungs when my fingers never hit underwear as they slid into her moistness.“Scarlett,” I barely managed to get out as she started moving her hips, riding my fingers while her muscles

  • Hunting Their Enemies   Family Dinner

    Scarlett (one month later)I groaned when my bedroom door bounced open. Elena and Priscilla dashed in, giggling while multiple male voices yelled angrily behind them. They dove over my bed, hiding on the floor beside it. I glanced down at them before turning toward the door, smiling as Beanie and Gerald ran in.“WHERE ARE THEY?!” Gerald bellowed.I burst out laughing when I took in their clothes covered in pink glitter and bright red lips. I put my arm over my stomach as I continued to howl with laughter.“What did they do to you guys?”“WE GOT GLITTER BOMBED! WHERE ARE THEY?!”I touched my lip, still giggling. “You got a little something there.”Gerald wiped at his lips furiously while Beanie scowled at me. “They put super glue and lipstick in a chapstick tube. Now the fucking shit won’t come off!”I shook my head. “Sorry, boys. They went into the bathroom. I think I heard the window open.”They both growled as they rushed out of the room. Elena sprang up to lock my door before both

  • Hunting Their Enemies   Thinking About It

    OspreyAfter my third round of push-ups, I sat in the chair in front of the desk in my room at my Aunt’s house. I picked up a pencil to do my homework, quickly giving up when I couldn’t pull my thoughts from Scarlett and the conversation with Valerie. I was worried about Scarlett. I couldn’t help it. I loved her. More than I loved anything else. I tapped my pencil on the desk, wondering if she was doing as poorly as Valerie had said she was. If she was, that was just one more thing that was my fault.I sighed as I leaned back in my chair, closing my eyes. Everything Valerie said about how I was feeling was true, leading me to question if she knew something that I didn’t. The feeling that she did grew with the things she said about Scarlett not knowing stuff. I pulled my phone out and set it on the desk in front of me. I had never hesitated when it came to Scarlett before, but now everything was different. I had done so much wrong. The minute Raul warned me about seeing her, my world h

  • Hunting Their Enemies   Lunch With Osprey

    ValerieAfter the rest of the kids left for school, I watched Tasha move around the kitchen with Lee and Sebastian. Their morning dance as they cooked the house breakfast was fluid and easy. It was very obvious that they were all one soul that had been split up into 8 pieces. They were like ballroom dancers, anticipating each other's movements before they even thought about their next move. I sighed. Every morning, I was reminded of how I would never have my dance again. I was glad that Osprey had used his mate bond with Scarlett to help heal her from her father’s death, but I didn’t have anybody that could heal me like that. All I had was Scarlett.“Valerie?”I smiled at Tasha. “Yeah?”“What’s on your mind? You haven’t touched your food. I put it in front of you five minutes ago.”“Sorry, I was just thinking about Victor.”“Oh. Do you want to talk about it?”“Not really. Can I ask you something?”“Sure.”“Why did Osprey leave?”“Do you want the official story or what we suspect the t
