The next morning I lazily get up , purposely pushing it even though I was awake . I keep my eyes closed and force myself to sleep more , turning over possibly a hundred times . Soon enough I give up and get up from bed .
I check the time .
9 am.
Not bad . I thought it would be 11 am by now .
By the time I shower and get ready , it's 11 . I decide to wear a baby blue tank top with dark blue jeans , finishing the look off with my comfortable beige sandals .
" Perfect timing " I mutter as I hear the knock on the door . I head over and open it .
I stare at Jace standing there . He was wearing a navy blue T shirt with black jeans . All of his shirts seemed to be skin tight and body hugging . Not that it was a bad thing at all , but it was particularly distracting . It made me want to run my hands over his shoulders , feeling the firm muscles underneath . His sleeves were hugging his bulging biceps . I looked at his f
" We need to lose the dude and approach the woman . " I remind them . Clearly the little girl was incredibly scared of the man and I didn't want to talk to the woman in his presence , at least not until I figured out the whole story . We don't know what's going on behind the scenes so it's better to play safe . " How are we going to do that ? " Alec wonders . I get into my thinking mode , which isn't as useful as it should be . I can't think of a way to separate both of them . " I have an idea . " Jace smirks and I look over at him curiously . Jace motions to one of the workers and calls him over to us . Making sure that his voice is out of the couple's hearing range , he mutters .. " Drop this drink on the woman over there . " He says , handing over my milk . Wait a second . Why does my milk have to be sacrificed for this deed ? What about the plethora of drinks present on the food serving table
I don't dare to fall asleep . Better yet , I can't fall asleep would be a more accurate representation of what I'm going through . I am not used to insomnia , usually I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow . After all , sleep is the only escape that I have from the real world . I can finally experience calmness and peace , something I stuggle with in my day to day life . That's no excuse though . I can't sleep away all of my problems . And it seems that in this generation , no one has known peace , I'm not special . I sigh and turn , desperate for a little nap before it hits 2 am . I check the time . It's only 11 PM . Are you kidding me ? I'm supposed to overthink for another 3 hours before it's time ? I whine and shove my face into the pillow . I remember the last time I slept extremely well . It was definitely the first night that we got here , I slept in his strong and large arms that enclosed me , made me feel tin
Sleep is everything . ' Our houses, our bedrooms—even our beds—are littered with beeping, vibrating, flashing screens. It’s the never-ending possibility of connecting—with friends, with strangers, with the entire world, with every TV show or movie ever made—with just the press of a button that is, not surprisingly, addictive. Humans are social creatures—we’re hardwired to connect. Even when we’re not actually connecting digitally, we’re in a constant state of heightened anticipation. And always being in this state doesn’t exactly put us in the right frame of mind to wind down when it’s time to sleep. Though we don’t give much thought into how we put ourselves to bed, we have little resting places and refueling shrines all over our houses, like little doll beds, where our technology can recharge, even if we can’t. ' This is why humans have trouble sleeping . And It turns out that women need more sleep than men .. So when Jace tries to sha

" The dad , whose name I somehow know in this weird bend in the space time continuum , tells Alice . " Are we going to play a game ? " She asks excitedly . "Sure . That too . But first , let's go take a shower first . " He says with a wide smile that makes me more uncomfortable than I'd like to admit . It was a strange view . There was some static , some voice changes here and there . But overall it had similar characteristics of a dream , except that it was too realistic to be one . The facial features were realistically etched and the environment was detailed out . It was more like a slightly blurred past memory that you try to remember i
Nobody spoke a word . They let the sobbing woman deal with the police officers and watch as they took Jared away . The accidental death would now be converted to a murder case . No one decided to say anything , not even to comfort the woman . After all , what can you really say at this point ? I'm sorry your husband raped your daughter ? We say nothing . It's rude but saying something is also inappropriate . I don't mind seeming rude , I'd rather give people their own space when I know they need it . I wanted to at least say goodbye to Alice . I wanted to tell her how sorry I was that she was born into such an incredulously revolting world . I was sorry for what she went through . Who knows how many girls go through similar things ? Despite the many things I wanted to say to her , I knew that I'd never see her again . After sharing her story and knowing her mother knew the truth , she seemed to be at peace . She exchanged affectionate words an
Here I was worried about encountering something that would make me regret even coming out of my room . Yet after an hour of roaming the place , all the floors , the burner next to the dining hall .. Possibly almost everywhere . We found something astonishing . Absolutely nothing . My mouth straightens into a line and I blink dramatically a few times . " Well there's an hour off my life that I'll never gain back . " Jace gives me a look . " You're immortal . Does it matter ? " I scoff . " Considering the mess we are constantly getting ourselves into , I doubt I'd stay alive even till my birthday . " I was only half joking . He growls loudly , I would be concerned about him waking up the entire hotel but then again , this place is dead so .. growl away mister big bad wolf ? " Say that again , I dare you . " He glares at me .
" Take them off . " I plead . " Take what off ? " He nips at the edge of my shorts teasingly . Looking at me through the hooded view of his dirty blond hair that fall in front of his eyes . " My shorts . Your tie . Everything . " I say breathlessly , causing him to chuckle . He gets out of his binds in an instant and rips my shorts off before I get a chance to react . He growls threatingly with a dangerous smile . " Giving me permission was a mistake ." He towers over me and licks his lips staring down at me . I gulp . He kisses me deeply and passionately as his hands move along my waist up to my breasts , leaving tingles and shivers wherever they go . I want him to touch me more . He lightly grazes my skin with his hands , continuing his nipping at my lips . He teasingly brings his hand up to brush against my nipple and then brings it down till the waist , leaving traces of desire wherever he failed to touch for long.
I took in my surroundings in deep curiosity . The architecture had piqued my interest . It was quite medieval looking but it was absolutely huge . There seemed to be 3 or 4 main quarters that were joined with each other forming a whole complete university . There was a sort of rectangle formed by the 4 buildings , leaving a slight space only for the movement of vehicles to and fro on each corner . On each side outwardly from the university , there were huge parking lots .That was it . The rest was covered with greenery and forests . It seems like the perfect place for werewolf packs . I'm sure deep into the forests , one may find pack houses and associated towns .I have never been to school let alone a university! What do you even do? I probably know all the stuff they are being taught!. But that's not why we are here. There's a mission. We are not here to stay. Damn I have to keep reminding myself that. I would really like to join here for good. It was really
