The atmosphere was so tense as Darren drove Sharlynn to the Ridge residence. She was so pissed at Ricky-Shawn that she felt a murderous intention forming in her so the only option left was to ditch the party so she wouldn't entertain any harmful thoughts.
She groaned several times as Darren drove and her anger escalated when she saw him smiling widely.
" Excuse me, are you laughing right now?" She suddenly lashed out and Darren jolted before he gained himself and held on to the steering wheel.
" Really Sharlynn? I'm driving!" He complained and Sharlynn cringed when she realized that her tone frightened him. Heck, her tone frightened her! Since Darren marked her as his mate, she had noticed her slightly edgy and aggressive character when things got personal.
" Sorry, Darren it's just that I'm really mad right now!" She said, folding her arms and he smiled.
" And then you see that I'm mad but you laugh about it!" She added and he s
Darren had the best night of his life while he was with Sharlynn, they spent the whole night talking, kissing, and cuddling but even though he wanted more, he didn't want to rush her. With the way they couldn't seem to get enough of each other Darren wasn't sure if they would even sleep at all, but when Sharlynn finally slept he followed suit and had a good night's sleep for the first time in fifty years.He usually had nightmares about his five-year-old self being torn from his mother and condemned to death by burning and when he woke up from such nightmares, he would be so uncomfortable.Today was however different. As he woke up, he did so with a smile and tossed to the other side of the bed so that he could watch Sharlynn sleep. But Sharlynn wasn't there, her side of the bed was empty and cold and he wondered if everything that happened between he and Sharlynn was a dream.Getting up from his bed, he searched the ground for any signs of any of he
Darren looked at the faces of everyone gathered in the basement of their house. He didn't like them all in his house but a meeting had to be held between all families about Sharlynn.He and Meredith as well as other extended families who were present via astral projection sat down while others stood and talked amongst themselves.Kyle and Kimmel were the only representatives for the Ridges, though the blood moon pack was present. Kyle and Kimmel's parents were extremely busy at the mount Durbes where they were currently seeking rehab after their run-in with a Kanareé. He still couldn't understand how they saw one since Kanareés belong to Veilah and do not exist on Earth.Nick, Tom, and Ron their father were yet to arrive and there wasn't much time left as far as he was concerned so he decided to signal his Aunt to start the meeting. She nodded and clasped her hands causing a rush of wind to flow through the room, startling everyone.&nbs
Darren, Meredith, Kyle, Kimmel, Tom, and Nikk were the ones who went to the cave. Dean wanted to but something came up so he couldn't go. They all stood in front of a cave whose location Darren uncovered by an exposure spell. Darren knew this route very well and never saw anything like a cave there but for some reason, he could sense Sharlynn at that exact location so he knew something was up. " Wow, who would've known!" Tom said and folded his arms and the others shushed him. " Be quiet, you guys are literally useless because your dad's not here to save you if you get in trouble so just shut up and do as I say." Darren hissed in a hushed tone. " Woah, mate bond is no joke!" Nikk said making him and Tom laugh. " Chill Darren we'll find your woman." Tom and they all stood in front of the cave for a while. " What now?" Nikk asked and Kyle looked at him and Tom. Without further hesitation, Kyle said to Nikk and Tom, " Both of yo
The sun seemed to scorch everyone's skin as they headed back to the Toody's basement. They defeated Aveera temporarily - it would've been permanent if they had seen her body by the time they went back into the almost destroyed cave. If they were people who didn't know her, they would've thought that she died but they did know her.She always found a way to disappear when she was almost dying. Kyle had extremely weakened her and taken her surprise and if it weren't for him they'd be dealing with a far more frightening situation.When they all reached Darren's house and headed straight for the basement, Aunt Linda and the rest of the families left couldn't believe their eyes that they all came back unharmed." Darren! Meredith!" She shouted for joy as she saw them and headed to give them a warm embrace but Darren had been bottling up emotions inside that he didn't want to explode all over the place. But Sharlynn - the girl he loved and Tom - the man he
Hey guys, I hope that so far you've enjoyed the first twenty one chapters. So far, I've been writing this book from the narrator's POV and I've not been writing often from Sharlynn's POV or Darren's. I've done that probably once and it wasn't for very long but now I'd like you inform you all that that would be happening soon ( for those of you who prefer that narrative angle:-) ) So, from here on, I'm going to be writing more often from Sharlynn's POV and that of the other main characters because I want to fully be able to show you exactly how they all reason and what happens in their head. So don't get confused^_^ As always, your suggestion is welcome, I'd really appreciate it. With love, Leyla:-)
Sharlynn's POVI ran as fast as I could to meet up with Dean and the elder men accompanying him. It had been forever since Dean and I had a talk not less than three to four words and I didn't like that. I knew he was busy but still, I wanted him to squeeze out some time for me besides, he would be the perfect distraction from the whole mate saga with Darren and Tom." You can't be here child." One of the elder men said and I looked at Dean with so much desperation in my eyes. The type that I knew he wouldn't be able to resist and he groaned before he stopped at a rocky path before us." Herald, please give me a moment with Sharlynn." He said and they nodded before one of them - the one who said I couldn't be there said to him, " you only have ten minutes," and then they all left.Dean sighed before he removed the piece of clothing he wrapped around his fist and as he did so, I noticed how muscular he had gotten. His skin glistened in the sun and even the
Sharlynn's POvMy mom was giving me "that look" again, the one that meant that she was really mad at me and would snap if I don't say something to appease her. But what could I possibly say to her?Since the night I slept at Darren's place and got kidnapped by his Aunt Aveera, she's been so angry with me, thinking that I got reckless at the party and couldn't come back home. I told her that I felt a little sick and couldn't come back home but like every parent she had the best set of detective questions to expose me.Questions like, " Why didn't you call me?" To which I had responded, " my phone died " but then she knew I was lying somehow. I was too thrown by what happened while I was in the cave that I couldn't think of any other lie. Especially after almost summoning Veilah - I just walked out on my mom and went in my room to cry, because I was so confused about everything that happened but there was one certain thing - my mom would never believe
Sharlynn's POVThis mate bond makes no sense, how can I trust a vampire that I once detested and dreaded? How could I not feel guilty especially for Darren? I knew it wasn't right but it....kinda felt right. I sighed as I looked at my empty note. I couldn't follow any of the classes because I was scared that Aveera would come for me.I jolted at the sound of the bell signifying the end of classes for the day and sighed when I realized that it was just the school bells. Everyone rushed out of class except me, Tom and Nikk." Are you okay?" Tom asked, bending down to my level. I was about to answer when I heard Nikk groaning in frustration." If this is what having a mate means - then I'll pass" he commented with resentment while Tom and I just smiled." We're not like ... Romantically involved mates though Nikk so you can chill," Tom said as he got up and held out his hands to me" Doesn't matter. You both look ridiculous" Nikk spat and
