ANMELDENSORA.“Hmmm. My pretty Omega missed me.” His low chuckle vibrated against my throat. My body stilled, heat flooding my face making me dizzy. My back pressed into the wall. Denying I didn't feel the same way should be easier. But this wasn't the usual Zane. His mouth was already moving, raising slow deliberate kisses down the side of my neck. I shivered, and a soft moan slipped, as his teeth grazed the sensitive skin below my ear.God damn it. How could I be so stupid?My hand flew to cover my mouth but he held it, pushing it past my head. “This looks familiar,” he breathed. “Z…Zane…” I stuttered. “You aren't calling me master anymore. I like it.”My pulse thumped. I squeezed my legs together, fighting against my arousal. Those eyes of his…held mischief. “Let's go over this one more time. Do you like me, Sora?” I stuttered, swallowing hard. His thumb brushed my lips, forcing my breath to become heavy. “I'm waiting, Sora. I need to hear it from you.” My head dipped. His lips
SORA.My heart shuddered at the door sound. Setting down the bowl of fruit on the table gently, while listening to his footsteps coming forward. The slices were cut evenly and I stood up straight. He wasn't close, and I turned to leave. “Oh God,” I held my chest. He was up in my face, loving eyes on one. He smiled weakly, like it excited him.“Scared?” “I've delivered the fruit, Master,” I managed, keeping my voice even. I moved back. “I can see that.”My head made a quick nod. “I'll take my leave now.”His arm grabbed me, holding my waist, stopping me. “Ehem. I…”“Shhh,” he whispered, pushing his warm body close to mine. Heat crawled up my neck. “I really have to get back to work…”“Stay.”That word left no room for argument. But if Mirabelle found out I wasn't at work…“I…”“Sora,” the tingly whisper halts me. My breath hitched hard when his hand slid lower, his fingers spreading over my waist. “I have missed you,” he whispered in my ear. “Master…Uhm. Zane. I…” the words s
MALPHAUS.I slammed the door of Zane's bedroom shut. A sharp pain pierced my skull. I grabbed my head and groaned loudly.Inside my mind, I felt Zane clawing his way up, fighting violently for dominance."Sit back, human," I ordered.I walked heavily to the mirror, clutching my chest. I stared at my reflection. My eyes flickered rapidly from pitch black to normal brown."Get out!" Zane's voice roared inside my head.I closed my eyes for a bit and struggled against his mental push. When I opened them, I breathed out and smiled wickedly. I started to laugh."Get out of my body!" Zane shouted again.I looked at the glass. Zane's face appeared in the reflection, clearly struggling but maintaining a surprisingly strong presence.I smirked wickedly. "That is no longer possible. I possess this body.""I am not going to let you take control of me in peace," Zane vowed."I already did," I taunted. "I was so close to killing your mother, but I decided to spare her.""You bastard!" Zane spat."T
SORA. "Bring me a towel!" Damien shouted. A bodyguard ran over immediately, handing him a thick white towel. Damien snatched it and began to dry my face and hair roughly."Ow," I groaned. “Be gentle.”"You're still talking?! Why did you go in?" Damien snapped. "How could you be so careless?"My body was still extremely weak. I tried to move, but I lost my balance. Damien caught me instantly, holding me perfectly still against him."You can let go now," I said.Damien ignored me. He held on tighter, then lifted me completely off the ground and carried me in his arms.Jane gasped loudly nearby."Put me down," I demanded. "We are in the open. I can walk.""Shut up while I'm being nice.”"I am really okay this time," I argued. "I can walk on my own."Damien stopped walking. He glared down at me. "If one more word comes out of your lips, you will hate me."I swallowed hard and kept quiet. I let him carry me toward the house.Suddenly, Damien stopped again. I looked up. His eyes were focu
SORA.“Don’t–no, please… don’t kill her…” My hands tightened into a fist, the image of sharpened claws about to drive into a female's neck made me scream. “Stop!”My eyes opened, a strangled breath escaping my throat. The air rushed through my lungs as I pushed myself upright, my body drained in sweat, with my heart pounding wildly. For a moment, it was real. The blood, scream, that voice that clung to me, the roar that refused to fade. My hands shook.Slowly, I turned my head to my side.Happy breaths came to me when I saw Beauty sleeping beside me. She was in a deep sleep, curled up under the blanket, untouched by my fear. “It was just a dream…” I whispered, slowly convincing myself. I forced myself out of bed, and the world spun violently the second my feet touched the floor. “Ah–!”My knees buckled, and my hand sprung out, catching the chair just in time, before I lost balance. I held onto it like my life depended on it, getting used to the darkness that went into my vision
MALPHAUS/DEMON POV.Gray smoke rose up through the floor vents, curling in on itself like a slimy nest of pitiful vipers on the cold stone floor. I breathed in deeply, that bitter, burnt night’s shade taste burning at the back of my throat. It tickled. If Lara the great witch only knew a few tricks like this, I’m strangely offended. But a smart predator sees an ambush in progress. Zane, the stubborn man that I’m chipping away at with the smallest part of his own mind, has power. I'll give him that. All I needed was to make him weak enough to never return. But first. I closed my eyes, rolled them back, and let the dead weight of a supreme alpha male fall onto the drug. Thud. I hit the floor with a clean crack, skull meeting tile with surgical precision. Zane’s going to feel that one later if I ever let him behind the wheel again. I’m having way too much fun already. I laid still, not moving a muscle, breathing shallowly and rhythmically. And I listened for the muffled panic
Chapter: 16 ****** ZANE: The woods were quiet, too quiet. No sound of animals or even birds. This was weird. There wasn’t even wind. There were just trees that stretched endlessly into the deep forest, their branches like skeletal hands reaching into the hazy sky. The ground was damp, the smell
Chapter: 14******ZANE:I wasn't even sure what I was about to ask when Sora bolted out the door like his legs were on fire, slamming it so hard, it shook the walls.And I just stood there, gawking awkwardly at the door.For a couple of minutes, I didn't move. I just stood there, staring at the pl
Chapter 19 ****** SORA: Damien stood there, the expression on his face unreadable. His gaze moved from Zane to me, then back to Zane. My heart was racing so fast now. “Well,” he said slowly, stepping inside and closing the door behind him, “what’s… going on?” He lifted a brow. I straightened i
Chapter 13*****SORA:The tray felt heavier than usual, or maybe I was about to have a panic attack. I wasn’t sure which one it was. It was breakfast for Mr. Blaster. That was all. It was, I whispered to myself. It’s just another task, Sora. Get it together.After the other day in my room, it felt
