Julissa’s POVI blinked my eyes in confusion, "what? I know that you don't want to be stuck on a journey with me, and I don't want to be stuck with you either. So, you can just tell him that you don't have the time," I said, feeling frustrated. Why did all of these men have to make things difficult any chance they got? Why couldn't they just act normally? Kane had a cold and indifferent look in his eyes, and it felt like he was looking through me, not at me. "Roman had asked me to go with you, and I can understand his worries. Considering the things you've done in the past, I have to make sure that you won't be making any more 'silly mistakes' when you're over there," Kane said. My face paled at these words. Was he just trying to remind me of the things with Gray? My blood was boiling when I heard this, but Kane didn't even give me the opportunity to take out my anger on him. He just turned and walked away from me. I stomped my foot on the ground angrily. Damn it! Why did
Julissa's POV My heart skipped a beat when I heard Roman's voice. Panic gnawed at my throat, wondering if he heard me the first time. But from the confusion on his face, it seemed he really didn't hear my own words.I quickly smiled and shook my head, "no, I didn't say anything, I just....I just feel bad for what I did with…Gray in the past.” The lies rolled off my tongue piercing my heart as I said them. In the end, I couldn't bring myself to tell Roman what I did. The thought of losing him again, it was the most painful and scariest thought I've ever had. I don't think I'd be able to survive it this time, so I lied.But I knew this was going to come back to bite me in the ass, I wouldn't be able to run away from the consequences of my actions forever, but I didn't want to think about it for now. I was hiding until I couldn't hide from it anymore. "Don't worry about it, Julissa.” Roman's eyes were filled with forgiveness and love. “From now on, we should focus on our future. Y
Julissa’s POVRoman turned back to the maid, a threatening look blazing in his eyes. He looked like he wanted to kill her. I felt drained and completely tired. I couldn't even bring myself to hate this woman. Too many things had happened......just too many....and the fucking guilt was still ripping me apart. I should have stood my ground instead of letting Kane do what he'd done. Fuck. Tears burned behind my lids, and I quickly blinked them back as Roman’s voice boomed at the maid."How the heck did you even get into my room? Who let you in here?” Roman’s voice was coated in raw fury as he questioned her. “Did someone ask you to do this?"The maid shook her head pitifully. She had tears running down her cheeks and frankly, if she had not slept with my mate, perhaps then I could feel sorry for her. "Please, alpha, I ...you were the one who forced me. I just, I just came to take care of you as always, and you told me that you wanted me, I didn't.... you said you would take c
Gray’s POV"What....what do you mean dead?" I stuttered out those words. My head was suddenly hurting, and I felt a sharp headache that seemed determined to tear me apart. "No....this doesn't make sense....it doesn't.... how.... how?" Tears gathered in my eyes, and I almost cried.Over the past one year, I had thought of numerous things that could have happened to Dylan. Perhaps he got into some trouble, I even toyed with the idea that he was sick and that he couldn't show his face. However, his death was not something that I would have ever expected in a million years. "Don't you dare pretend like you care about him. If you did, you wouldn't have made him live such a useless life with you, playing away his life instead of taking on his responsibilities as a powerful vampire. Do you know the things my brother was supposed to do, do you know?! And now, all of this is ruined because of you!" I had almost forgotten that there was someone else here with me, and her words dragged
Gray’s POV“Get the fuck out now,” the vamp growled again, clawed hands dragging down the glass like nails on a chalkboard.I raised my hand slowly, pushed the door open with my elbow and stepped out with my palms up. “I don’t mean any harm.”But they didn’t give a shit. The second my boots hit the asphalt, one of them tackled me. I hit the ground hard, my knees scraping concrete as a heavy elbow crushed into the back of my neck.Fuck. I wheezed as pain lanced through me.“Stay down, mutt,” i heard them hiss.The fuckers moved like trained killers. This clearly wasn’t the first time they’d slam someone face-first into pavement. My cheek was ground against the gravel and I could taste the blood in my mouth.Fucking hell.“I’m just looking for someone,” I managed to spit out through gritted teeth. But i hadn’t even completed my words before I heard the sound of hells coming towards me.It was definitely the vampiress.WHen she appeared in my line of sight, all I could see where her leat
Julissa’s POVThe air between had changed. It was charging with electricity and the look in Kane’s eyes made me aware of every single thing.Of his arms around me, water dripping from my naked skin onto his shirt, and i could his heart pounding against my ribs. I tried to squirm out of his grip, but my limbs were still dazed from the panic of nearly drowning.“Kane,” I breathed, “Don’t…”But his eyes were wild and hungry, looking at me like I was the answer to every fucked-up prayer he’d every said to the goddess. It had my pulse pounding in my throat.“Put me down, Kane.” I rasped, squirming in his grip. However, it only made my bare pussy slide over something very hard between us. Oh gods! “KANE!”But he didn’t let go of me.Instead, his arms tightened, and he roamed his eyes down my body shamelessly, taking in every inch of me before crashing his lips onto mine.The kiss didn’t feel like a kiss. It was brutal. His mouth took without asking and my body betrayed me with a full-body
