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
JACE's PovWe have been here for over 3 hours and I was missing Alexis already. She was too far away. Perhaps maybe a couple of rooms away.. but I just wanted her close to me. Transylvania university is known for the variety of creatures that roam it's halls , not many incidents have happened , but there's always a possibility . As an Alpha , you should be prepared even in the most comfortable of environments.I grit my teeth , remembering what happened to my pack.There was no sign of danger . It was a secluded pack , deep into the woods , we never had any beef with neighbouring packs , I did my best to ensure that . We didn't have any contact with vampires either , they usually stay away from the woods . That is .. until Dracula slaughtered them .' I didn't kill your pack by the way , I'm not sure what gave you the idea . ' The words buzz through my head like an annoying mosquito . I growl.Lying bastard. What more proof do we need ?
It's not that I was jealous . It really wasn't . The waitress was just clearly annoying , batting her fake ass eyelashes so hard that I thought they would fall off and drop on the floor . I'd gladly step on them , pretending they were her eyes . So as you can see , I was saving her eyelashes . If I had let her be , they surely would have been displayed on the ground . I was being kind , was I not ?" Aw .. Are you jealous ? It's cute . " He says with an endearing expression that I couldn't slap off even if I wanted to . It made my heart flutter . Why does he have to keep calling me cute ? I can't take it ."I'm not jealous , I was just saving you the trouble to talk to a little bitch " I glared at him . I shall not be confused of sins I haven't committed . I huff ." You're definitely jealous " He reaches his hand out and pinches my right cheek . I slap his hand away with a glare but that just causes his smile to widen further ." I've never seen you jeal
Alexis's Pov I look at my half eaten salmon and watch as my tears salt it . Jace was looking far away , his gaze distant as he spoke , as if the memories were fresh in his mind and he was recalling them easily . I hate that I made him remember all of that . I feel guilty . I just .. " Whoah what the fuck . Don't cry , love . It's all in the past , besides , I have you now . " He panics a bit . I don't care if people are watching . I get up from my chair and walk over to him . He looks surprised and even gulps nervously . I sit on his lap and put my arms around him , burying my face in his neck. I choke back a sob . " Jace ... I'm sorry you had to go through all of that , you are so incredibly strong . If it was up to me , I'd go back and make sure you got the happiest life because you deserve it . You deserve to be happy now. I'm sorry . " " You idiot . What are you sorry for ? " He chuckles , trying to joke but when I
