Sharlynn's POV
I woke up in a bathtub filled with ice and my brain felt numb. I couldn't remember what happened when I was ambushed but I knew that I was taken somewhere else, somewhere dark and I kept seeing flashes of different women who had my face.
It didn't make sense to me, even though it seemed real. All I could vividly remember was being ambushed by several cloaked people about to kill me as I was on my way to Darren's house. Speaking of...that was exactly where I found myself. I was freezing in the bathtub so I tried to come out but Linda and some other women with her pushed me back inside the bathtub!
I yelled Darren's name because of the overwhelming pain I felt as they immersed me in water.
" Just endure for a while Sharlynn! You need to remember!" I heard Linda say and I shook violently as I saw myself back on the pathway to Darren's house right before I was ambushed. I saw my body fall to the ground and the people Ave
Sharlynn's POV I woke up with a smile on my face, it was probably the same smile that was on my face when I slept last night. I had wanted to be naked underneath Darren's sheets as I lay by his side and that was what I got to experience all night. I giggled when I remembered how he had woke me up at night for more sex. His arms were still on my waist since last night, since I was lying down on my side and with my back against him, I could feel his soft breathing as he slept. I wondered what he looked like when sleeping, it would be nice to watch him sleep and to be by his side when he wakes up. I lifted his arm from my waist and gently turned around to face him but he was already awake and was smiling at me. " You're so beautiful when you sleep." He said and I grunted. I wanted to be the one to say that to him, he was always one step ahead, wasn't he? He smiled and kissed me softly on my lips while I wrapped my arms around his waist and pressed my
Sharlynn's POVThe rest of the day went fine. Since Kyle stormed out of chemistry class, I did the whole thing myself and the other classes that followed were pretty good too - because he wasn't present.When the sound of the bell rang signifying the close of school, I was still thinking about the fact that my mom gave Kyle my dad's sleeve to put on to school! Did she have a thing for Kyle? What exactly prompted her to do something so stupid?" Hey, babe. Let's go get your brothers." Darren said from behind me and I nodded." First of all, let me call their teacher. I need to know if they're still at their school or if someone has already picked them up." I said and Darren handed me his phone." Are you expecting someone else to pick up your brothers?" He asked as I dialed their class teacher's number on his phone." Yeah, I have a feeling that my mom has probably adopted Kyle to the Carter family," I said as I
Sharlynn's POVIt didn't take too long - just a few minutes and Darren got better and his wounds healed thankfully.But Darren wasn't the only one I cared about so I warned Tom about Kyle just in case you tried anything funny or being more realistic, in case he tries to kill Tom. I put down my phone after calling Tom and then I spend some time with Darren and was tempted to sleep over at his place but I got a call from my mom saying she wouldn't be home tonight so I had to babysit my brothers who had still not forgiven me for... Something I was still not sure about." Be careful on your way back Sharlynn," Darren said as I covered him with his sheets and I kissed him." I've gotten a hang of my powers now, anyone who comes against me is gonna be in serious trouble. So, don't worry about me okay?" I said with a reassuring smile and he smiled too and closed his sleepy eyes.Though he had healed, he said that he still felt the stings
Kyle's POVArrogant, ruthless, selfish, wicked, one who lives for chaos - these are all words that have been used to describe me because that was what I wanted people to think of me.You know that typical guy who looks evil and is like a bad boy on the surface but soft and loving on the inside that was my real personality but after the things I experienced before my burdensome centuries of living, I made an oath never to let anyone know that part of me.The only person who ever came close to knowing that part of me recently was Dean. Not even Kimmel could recognize me anymore after we were turned into werewolves.Back then in Veilah, I was a lanky, light-hearted yet handsome seventeen-year-old boy who everyone loved. My mother raised me and Kimmel with a good heart and anyone who bought animals from our farm would call us sweet boys.I scoffed as I wondered what all those women who tipped me big-time whenever I smiled and ha
Kyle's POVI saw the horror and disgust in her eyes as she tucked her hair and blinked repeatedly, trying to process the fact that I had just insinuated that I had feelings for her. She looked beyond disgusted as she said, " if you really feel that way about me how could you treat me - "" - I know but at least hear me out - " I said as I tried to explain to her that she was wrong about me, that I was too proud to show my feelings to her so I showed it to her family. That was the only reason why I dropped off her mom and brothers at work and school and the reason why I babysit her little brothers while she was away being probably screwed by her boyfriend.Were my earlier sins so great that she couldn't see all that I've gone out of my proud ass way to do for her? I wanted to explain to her how I was taken aback by her beauty the day she almost tripped and I caught her but that day I felt threatened by the effect her beauty and innocence had on
Sharlynn's POV" Why are you crying?", that was the first thing Freddie asked me as I stormed into my house, I gasped as I touched my cheeks and saw tears on my hand... Did I seriously cry?Sure I was pissed off that Dean and Kimmel were mad at me and treating me badly because they were sure that I'd somehow killed Kyle by threatening to reject him as my mate. Besides, me finding out that he just staged the whole thing really upset me but I still didn't expect that I had been crying from the moment Kyle dismissed me from his room to when I entered our house" Ugh!! It's nothing." I said as I went straight to the kitchen to make lunch for them. I needed something to get my mind off of how mad I was at Dean, Kimmel, and Kyle so cooking was my best option right now." Sharlynn, are you okay?" Freddie asked me again, this time he looked really concerned and he adjusted his adorable new glasses Kimmel had got him and I sni
Darren's POVI've been worried sick about Sharlynn. Aunt Linda had called me after lunch to inform me that our protection spells were failing and I rushed down there to help out with the spell but then when we got the spell back up eventually, Tom called me saying that he sensed that Sharlynn was in trouble.I met him back at school when a lot of students had already gone, and tried asking the few who stayed behind." She seemed very upset today about that Sonya girl. It isn't a coincidence that the day Sonya comes Sharlynn is missing" Tom said as he scrolled through the contacts on his phone." Why would she be upset because of Sonya?" I asked as I watched him scroll frantically through his phone." Because she is starting to get attracted to Kyle," Tom said so easily as if he was talking about the weather!" Kyle?! No way, Sharlynn hates him."" Well, you weren't there when she was staring d
Darren's POVI paced up and down on the balcony, thinking about ways to find Kyle and Sharlynn. I had already sent witches to locate Kyle but they couldn't find him because he was possessed. His soul could not be found anywhere unless the demon Aveera placed in Kyle leaves him.Meredith was standing outside our house, watching me. She knew that I was on the verge of losing control of my temper and when that happens...well things never really end up well." We've found him!" I heard Nathan, one of the witches under Meredith yell as he was flowed by two other women. He was running as fast as he could to our house but I didn't have the patience for his feeble legs to reach where I was so I sped off to him, startling him.I stretched out my hand and he quietly placed the piece of white paper in my hands before he left. I knew that he feared me because of my vampire side but rather than feel bad about the fact that I wanted to be loved and not fear
