CROSSIt was my turn for my jaw to hit the ground."I could tell she was different. I was nineteen. She was God knows how old," she chuckled quietly, nothing funny about it, just the kind to hold herself together. "But she was very youthful and attended college like everyone else.""Everyone was drawn to her. Everyone loved her, yet no one had access to her. She was very particular about her circle. We messed around for a month or two and... Just holding her hand was magical. She said it was energetic and she would sigh like she had been waiting for it all day... She'd glow too. It was strange. Very strange."I was quiet, my mind wrecked by the information. My being a mate wasn't a mistake after all. If only I had opened up about it sooner, I would've known I wasn't alone."I don't even know how I'm remembering all these," she held her head. "It feels like she locked the memories away after those other beings showed up-""What other beings?""I don't know. They called themselves light
CROSSI couldn't stop once I opened my mouth.I told her about Cyrus; what he was and how we met. I told her about his siblings and the hell on Earth. About Cyrus missing… and… I told her about me."Maybe that's why you're having those dreams. Something is really after me, but there's a solution."She listened, attentively and quietly. At one point, I wondered if she froze up but she'd blink, gulp and nod to show she was following.By the time I was done, dad had returned and she had to step out to let him know she was handling things. I sat quietly, tapping my feet as I waited, nervous as to what went on in her mind.When the door opened again, my blood pressure rose. She walked in quietly, shut the door and just stood there, blinking and watching me.Her silence scared me more than the thought of her actually freaking out. In fact, I think I'd like for her to yell and scream in my face."I know you don't lie," she finally got a word out, and she swallowed a lump. "And you won't sudd
CROSS I walked back into the house long after sending Sofia back home. She could easily just transport herself in my room the same way she came but I didn't trust Bryan not to try and get her number. I shouldn't care. She'd be harming him in the end- and he's already been with a succubus, but not Sofia, please. "There he is!" Killian announced the minute I stepped in and I received a standing ovation from Harry and Richard. "Where's the sweet lady, huh? You've been hiding her in your room all day, haven't you?" "And here I thought I'd have to have the talk with you," Richard leaned by the doorway with a bottle of vodka in his hand. "It hurts me to not see my frat brothers getting laid." "Me too, man! So where is she?" Harry looked behind me. "She's not staying for movie night?" "Guys, chill out. She's just my friend," my gaze wondered to Ace who was furiously tapping the remote like he had a bone to pick with it. His emotions were all over the place. How did the others not figure
CROSS"Damian, hey. Earth to you?"I looked up, startled as I snapped out of my trance. I stared at Ace's worried face and looked down at the clean dish in my hands. "Oh. Sorry, what was that?" I returned a few hours ago and decided to help my frat brothers set up for a movie night with their girlfriends or friends or whatever.I knew they were all expecting us to bring an important other but I had none. I'd be the awkward one out in the midst of slurpy sounds and face kissing. Gee! I was so jealous. Not!Today was my day off and I could spend it however I liked. I'd rather be studying or figuring out just how bad 'addictive pleasure' was. Oh! I had a pretty good feeling how bad it was, I just needed something documented.I'd look it up on the net later."I was asking if you were inviting anyone over. You didn't last time." Ace said as he handed me a clean dish. We were cleaning up nicely."No, Bryan's already here," I used the old excuse but he narrowed his gaze again."I see. What a
CROSS"Well, now you know we didn't lie," Lucian said after I narrated the vision. From the look of things, they were taking it as seriously as I saw it. Did they hope I'd see a vision before telling me?"I can't believe this. Lust really showed you a vision," Lilith squinted her eyes at me. She was seated on the arm of the chair while Seth stood a few feet away, arms folded and brows knitted. He looked heavy in thought, like he tried the piece the vision together. There was nothing cryptic about it, I think."Yeah, no shit," Lucian mumbled, giving me a weird look, before holding my gaze. "I can smell a piece of him inside you whenever those things come around."My ears burned and my cheeks flamed up. That was awfully a very uhm… easily misunderstood thing to say. I hoped no one else was thinking about the filth that crossed my mind.Seth better not read my doubts. He better not!"Is that… a good thing or…" I trailed off, glancing at them quietly."Well, it's perfectly normal given th
CROSSThe mustang pulled over at the frat house and I hopped down, watching Seth drive off with no words. Their words played in the back of my mind, never leaving and my chest felt heavier than normal. I've never had to digest so many harsh truths and information in one night.They had it rough. Their mom was missing. Cyrus was missing. Their dad could start a war- which they'd have to be dragged in, it seemed. And light beams? Yeah, that was enough mystery for one night.I walked into the house using my key. The lights in the living room were turned on and I wondered if they forgot to turn off the lights but Ace was on the couch, lifting his head from the book in his hands."Damian?" his gaze swept over me, something unreadable in his eyes that left me uneasy. My skin prickled. Was he human or not? I guess it was the way he looked at me. My gaydar was blaring and it was super sensitive now."Hey," I said quietly, hoping to avoid any small talk. He sat up straight and glanced at the
